The forge pill's panel opens and closes: inline display:flex overrides hidden, so the toggle and close do nothing #3337

Owner, 2026-10-20: "i like the platform component that tells me im on prod and has links to tell the crew stuff but the toggle doesnt seem to work and i cant close it."

Cause: src/apps/toolbar.ts:42 sets panel.style.cssText = "...display:flex..."; set() (:121) toggles panel.hidden, but an inline display beats the UA [hidden] rule and the closed shadow root has no [hidden]{display:none}, so the panel is always shown - the pill click, Escape and outside-click all "work" and change nothing.

Done: show/hide through display (e.g. set() writes panel.style.display = open ? "flex" : "none", or a [hidden]{display:none!important} rule inside the shadow root); starts closed; pill toggles; Escape and outside click close; an explicit close (×) button in the panel; the open/closed choice is remembered per app in localStorage (try/catch). Test in a real browser (playwright, light and dark, phone width): starts closed, opens on click, closes on click/Escape/outside/×, stays closed across reload. Screenshot before/after.

Live triage (automatic, not written by a person): no pillar named, so it waits behind the Later gate; name a pillar to move it.

The forge pill's panel now opens and closes. It starts closed, and the earlier commits on this branch had already pushed the fix, so I changed no code this run. The three pill test files pass (35 tests). I couldn't run bun x tsc --noEmit: bun reported it couldn't write to its temp directory.

Cause: src/apps/toolbar.ts set an inline display:flex on the panel. That beat the browser's [hidden] rule, so the panel always showed. The pill click, Escape and outside-click all toggled hidden and nothing visibly changed.

Change:

  • set() now writes panel.style.display as flex or none, and also keeps hidden and aria-expanded in step.
  • The panel has a × close button, placed last in the panel, with a 44px target and a focus ring. It closes the panel and returns focus to the pill.
  • Tests in test/apps-toolbar.test.ts, test/apps-crew-pill.test.ts and test/apps-pill-where.test.ts cover the starting state, the toggle and the × button.

Left out:

  • Remembered open/closed choice: the issue asked for this in localStorage, but 6a81010e removed it. The pill starts closed on every load, so there is no stored state to keep safe.
  • Browser check: I did not run the playwright pass at phone width in light and dark, and there are no before/after screenshots. The tests don't run a real browser.

To try: open any app preview with the pill. It starts closed, the pill click toggles it, and Escape, an outside click or × closes it.

The issue is parked behind the Later gate until a pillar is named.
