Small screens, small things; CLAUDE.md on phones

On touch the "on the wall of" link gets a 44px hit area (it truncates, so padding), an event's venue address wraps,
and on a phone toasts sit above the round New post button. A table's scroll box and the administration's statistics
strip are marked as strips that scroll sideways on purpose (data-scroll-x), which the phone sweep allows. CLAUDE.md gains
a Phones section: width variants for layout and the pointer for hit sizes, touch.css, the 44px rule, the bottom sheets
(ResponsiveBottom, SheetOnNarrow, PhoneSheet), Back closing overlays (IDOverlayHost, OverlayService), ConfirmService,
what a tap does on touch, the feed on a phone; and the phone tests under Testing.

- Cards carry `data-uri` (their ActivityPub id) and the empty feed `data-feed-empty`, for the tests. The feed renders
only the cards near the view, so a test looks for recent cards, and counts what is loaded by `data-feed-count`.
- **Phones** (`Mobile/`, `Category=Mobile`): `Browser.Open(state, Phone)` opens Playwright's own device presets
(shipped in its package): 360×800, iPhone SE (3rd gen), Pixel 7, and the Pixel 7 held sideways, with touch, a coarse
pointer and reduced motion; a phone session fails at once if the page doesn't see a touch screen.
`SignIn.As(browser, persona, phone)` reuses the desktop sign-in, and any saved sign-in that has expired is renewed.
- `RouteSweepTests` measures every page, one screen at a time down its main scroller (`Mobile/fit.js`). It checks:
- sideways scroll, unless the strip is marked `data-scroll-x`;
- boxes past the screen's sides;
- open menus, sheets and dialogs that are cut or outside the screen;
- targets without a 44px hit area: hit-tested at their centre and 21px around it, so a crowding neighbour fails
them too. Inline links in post text, native media controls and disabled controls are exempt, a fixed floating
control covering a target doesn't count, and `data-touch-exempt` exempts one explicitly;
- control text under 12px.
Screenshots, findings and a contact sheet go to `tests/e2e/out/mobile/<run>/`. Cells are `client.mobile.fit.*` and
`client.mobile.touch.*`, with the phone as the ref.
- `FlowTests` drives the narrowest phone through the menu, a dialog, a new post, a reply, a reaction, a deletion, the
full-screen globe, a phone held sideways, a tap into a thread, a picture and the Back button (`client.mobile.flow.*`).
- `DesktopUnchangedTests` holds desktop's control sizes.
- **Perf** (`Perf/`, `Category=Perf`, left out of the normal runs with `--filter "Category!=Perf"`): `FeedPerfTests`
scrolls load0's home (thousands of posts from SocialPub's `load.sh`) to 2000 posts and writes, per step, the time,
DOM nodes, JS and .NET heaps and long tasks to `perf.json`.

## Phones
Below `md` the app is laid out for a phone, and a touch screen gets thumb-sized targets. The rules:
- **Width and pointer are separate.**
- Layout differences between a phone and a desktop use the width variants at the call site (`max-md:`, `md:`).
- How big a thing is to a finger uses the pointer: `Styles/touch.css` under `@media (pointer: coarse)`, and
`pointer-coarse:` at a call site.
- A mouse matches none of it, so desktop keeps daisyUI's sizes (`Mobile/DesktopUnchangedTests` holds them).
- A window at most 30rem tall (a phone held sideways) is the `short:` variant.
- **`touch.css`** is plain CSS in Tailwind's utilities layer, so like `neo.css` it beats daisyUI's sublayers. It sets
daisyUI's own size variables:
- buttons, tabs, inputs and selects are 44px tall;
- extra small buttons and the badges that act are 36px, with a transparent `::after` that reaches 44 (5px around
the padding box);
- checkboxes and radios are 24px, toggles and range thumbs 28;
- field text is 16px, so iOS doesn't zoom into a focused field.
Its `touch-target` utility gives a small link or button a 44px hit area. It can't be used on something that clips
its own overflow (a `truncate`d name takes `pointer-coarse:py-3.5` instead), nor on a daisyUI tooltip, which draws
its arrow with `::after` (NerdTip takes minimum sizes).
- **Every target has a 44px hit area on touch,** with 8px between targets in a row (`pointer-coarse:gap-2`). The
phone sweep fails anything less.
- **Overlays on a phone rise from the bottom.**
- `DModal Placement="ResponsiveBottom"` is a sheet below md and a centred dialog from md. Every DModal has a visible
close button (`ShowClose`, named by `CloseText`).
- `DDropdown SheetOnNarrow` turns its content into a bottom sheet.
- `Components/PhoneSheet.razor` shows what opens in place on a desktop (the composer, a reply, a quote, an edit) as a
sheet on a phone.
- All are capped by `dvh`, and the app itself is `h-dvh`.
- **The Back button closes the newest open overlay** instead of leaving the page.
- Overlays register through `IDOverlayHost` (`Components/Daisy`, cascaded from `MainLayout`):
- `DModal` and `DDropdown` through the cascade;
- the nav menu, `PhoneSheet` and the full-screen globe through `Services/OverlayService.cs`.
- `main.js` marks a real Back press (a capture-phase `popstate`), since Blazor can't tell it from the app's own
navigation, which closes every overlay and goes on.
- No history entries are pushed.
- **What can't be undone asks first** through `Services/ConfirmService.cs` (`Ask`, shown by `ConfirmHost` in
`MainLayout`): deleting a post, taking it off a wall, muting, blocking, leaving a group, dropping a scheduled post and
signing out.
- **On a touch screen:**
- a tap on a post opens its thread (`main.js`, `data-thread` on the card, its `data-thread-link`), and cards are
pinned to the globe with a mouse only;
- a tap on a nerd-stats trigger opens its rows in a sheet (`NerdTip`, `AppStatusService.CanHover`);
- pictures open in `Components/MediaViewer.razor`.
- **The feed on a phone:**
- a card's actions are five equal cells (Reply, Boost, Favourite, React, More). Bookmark, the thread and the nerd
stats' Details are in More, and the author's picture is in the header;
- a new post starts from a floating button;
- the globe's banner opens full screen, and a phone held sideways opens it full screen from the tabs;
- the feed tabs show their names and fade at the edge where more wait (`edge-fade-x`, `data-scroll-x`).
