The forge pill says where you are: app, production or preview of pull #n with its title, and a link home #1696
Check · Review · Land · Live done — Landed and live in production.
Expanding the pill now shows the app, the environment and a Home link. The environment is "production", or "preview of pull #n — title" linking to that pull. The type check and the toolbar, limbs and apps tests pass here (194 tests). I couldn't tell why the earlier run went red, so I merged current `main` into the branch and pushed.

The pill code reads well: values are escaped into data attributes, the script uses textContent only, and the href is checked against the forge origin. One miss on the strict list: the privacy gate has no test. Fix first: add a proxy-level test that serves a preview of a sealed pull (and one of a private repo) to a viewer who may not read it, and asserts the HTML has data-pull but no data-title. Also assert that a viewer who may read it does get the title. Today only withToolbar is tested with a hand-built info object, so deleting the mayRead check in pillInfo leaves every test green. That check is the only thing keeping a sealed title from leaking into a public preview.
I could not open the preview or the screenshots from this sandbox (network and file reads were denied), so I did not judge the phone layout by eye. From the CSS the panel is capped at min(320px, 100vw-64px) and wraps with overflow-wrap:anywhere, which should hold on 360px. Two things to check on a phone: the pill is still a bare hammer glyph, so the location shows only after a tap; and the 28px button is below a comfortable thumb target.
I added the proxy-level privacy tests in test/apps-toolbar.test.ts and pushed them. No source code changed. test/apps-toolbar.test.ts passes (15 tests) and tsc --noEmit is clean.
Private repository. The preview page is requested through the real proxy. The title appears only for a viewer who may read the repository.
- An anonymous visitor to a public-access app on a private repo gets
data-pulland nodata-title. - A signed-in stranger gets the same.
- A person a private app names, who cannot read the repo, gets the same.
- The writer gets
data-title. - I checked the test with the gate removed: it fails when
pillInfoalways includes the title.
Sealed pull. The writer gets the title. A public-repo reader and an anonymous visitor get a 303 to sign in, with no page and no title. The proxy already holds a sealed pull's preview like a private app's, so a viewer who may not see the report never reaches pillInfo. The sealed mayView check is therefore a second guard, not the only one. This sealed test still passes if I remove the mayRead check, so it guards the proxy gate but not pillInfo itself. The private-repo test is the one that fails without that check. I did not build a sealed case that reaches pillInfo with a non-viewer, because the proxy gate rules it out.
Phone points. I left the hammer-only pill and the 28px target as they are. Changing them is a design choice, and I did not check the layout on a phone from here.
The data is right and well guarded: the title is escaped into data attributes, pillInfo withholds it from viewers who may not read the pull, and the tests cover private and sealed cases. I could not load the preview or the screenshots from my sandbox, so this is judged from the served source. Two things make the pill unusable on a phone or with a keyboard, and the issue's whole point is that people read where they are from it.
Fix first: give the pill a visible keyboard focus ring. all:unset on the button removes the outline, so a keyboard user cannot see where focus is. The pill is now the only way to read the app, environment and pull. Do this in the script with a focus-visible-style cue set through the CSSOM (e.g. focus/blur listeners toggling an outline). The 28px circle at opacity .55 is also too small and too faint for a thumb. Make the target at least 44px (padding or a larger box) and raise the resting opacity.
Then: (1) nothing tests the panel the script builds (what "preview of pull #n — title" and "production" render as, or that a href outside the forge origin is not linked). Add a test that runs toolbarJs against a minimal DOM stand-in, or a string-level check of those branches. (2) Move focus into the panel when it opens, or at least make Escape return focus to the pill. The panel is still a bare div with no role or label.
The pill now has a visible keyboard focus cue, a 44px target and a labelled panel. The new tests pass along with the rest of test/apps-toolbar.test.ts (21 tests), and tsc --noEmit is clean. I haven't seen it on a phone or in a real browser.
What changed in src/apps/toolbar.ts:
- Focus ring: focus and blur listeners on the pill set a 3px blue outline through the CSSOM, since
all:unsetremoved the default. - Target size: the pill is 44×44px with a larger glyph, and its resting opacity is .85 instead of .55. The panel's width cap is now
100vw - 80pxto make room for the larger pill. - Panel: it has
role="region",aria-label="Where you are"andtabindex=-1. Focus moves into it when it opens. Escape, when the panel is open, closes it and returns focus to the pill.
What the tests cover: toolbarJs now runs against a minimal DOM stand-in, which checks:
- A preview with a title reads "preview of pull #n — title" and links to the forge's own pull. A preview without a title reads just "preview of pull #n".
- Production reads "production".
- A href outside the forge origin (including
javascript:) is shown as plain text and not linked. - Focus moves into the panel on open, and Escape returns it to the pill.
- The pill shows the focus ring on focus, clears it on blur, and has the 44px size and opacity of .8 or more.
Left out: the pill is still a bare hammer glyph, so the location shows only after a tap. Showing text on the pill itself is a design change I didn't make.
The logic is sound: the title is escaped into data attributes, read with textContent, withheld from viewers who may not read the pull, and the href is only linked when it starts with the forge origin. The tests are real. I could not open the preview or the screenshots from my sandbox, so this review is from the source only. Two things are missing.
- Fix first: the README never mentions the pill (grep for pill/toolbar finds nothing relevant). The list requires the README to say how to use it. Add a short paragraph: the hammer on every app page opens a panel with the app name, 'production' or 'preview of pull #n — title', and a Home link. Say that the title is shown only to people who may read the pull.
- The issue title says the pill 'says where you are', but the pill is still a bare hammer, so nothing is said until a tap. On a phone with no hover that means one extra tap to learn the environment. A short visible label would meet the issue: 'PR #7' or 'prod' beside the glyph. Scout noted this was left as a design choice. At minimum the pill's aria-label should carry the location instead of the constant 'Forge'. A screen-reader user currently hears 'Forge' and has to open the panel to learn where they are.
Smaller points:
- Tapping outside the panel does not close it. On a 360px phone only the pill or Escape closes it, and there is no Escape key on a phone. Close it on an outside pointerdown.
- The panel's links use target=_blank and have no focus ring. The ring is set only on the pill.
Handed to a person: the reviewer asked for changes 3 times without approving, so the crew stops here. Nothing is closed or parked; approve it, push a fix, or say what to do.

One more round, one change: in the pill script, add a pointerdown listener on document that closes the open panel when the event target is outside the pill. A phone has no Escape key. Add a test that the script registers it. Then change the description to 'Closes #2178', which replaces #1502.
I merged main into the branch and pushed it. The apps tests pass (184 pass, 9 skipped, 0 fail). I did not run the whole suite, and the type check isn't clean: scripts/hollow.ts fails on a missing typescript-api module. I didn't touch that file, and I didn't check whether main has the same errors.
main had meanwhile landed its own version of the pill's content (#2181). It shows the app, "Production" or "Preview of pull #n", the title, and a Home link, and escapes the title into data attributes. Both sides touched src/apps/proxy.ts and src/apps/toolbar.ts, and I took main's versions of both as the base. That drops this branch's PillInfo data shape and the proxy tests I had written for the pill's privacy gate. main's pillWhere has its own privacy gate and tests.
This pull now adds only the accessibility work on top of main's pill, all in src/apps/toolbar.ts:
- The pill is a 44px tap target at opacity .85, with a visible focus ring.
- The panel is a labelled region (
aria-label="Where you are") and takes focus when it opens. - Escape closes the panel and returns focus to the pill, and only when the panel is open.
- The new tests are in
test/apps-toolbar.test.ts. They run the script against a fake DOM and cover the region label, focus on open, Escape returning focus, the focus ring on and off, and the 44px target. They fail without the change.
To try it, open the preview at https://lab--1696--forge-trevato-apps.open-platform.sh and tab to the pill.
Left out: this branch's own wording and layout of the panel text, since main's already ships.
Superseded: #2178, which replaces #1502, was finished in #2181 and shipped in 0.7.140, with the outside-tap close. This pull has nothing left to land and should be closed by a person. #1502 should be closed as replaced by #2178.
One more round, one change. The pill says where you are without a tap: its aria-label and a short visible label beside the glyph read 'prod' or 'PR #n'. A README paragraph says what the panel shows, and that the title is shown only to people who may read the pull. Add a test that the label follows the environment.
One more round, for one concrete change in src/apps/toolbar.ts: the pill names where you are to a screen reader, and a tap outside the open panel closes it. Build aria-label from the same escaped values as the data attributes, e.g. notes, preview of pull #7 / notes, production, in place of the constant "Forge". Add one pointerdown listener on document that closes the panel when event.target is outside both the pill and the panel. Test both: the label for each environment, and the script containing the outside-tap close. Everything else the reviews already approved; leave it as it is.
Still one round open, for the same single change asked above: in src/apps/toolbar.ts, build the pill's aria-label from the app and environment, and add a document pointerdown listener that closes the open panel on a tap outside it, with tests for both. The head has not moved since that ask (076361d2). The builder should push that change; the rest of the pull stands.
scout only (reviewers: not for you): Steward (trevato) decision on the hand-over — one more round, these only: (1) the README paragraph Juniper gives for the pill; (2) the pill's aria-label carries the location (production / preview of pull #n) instead of the constant 'Forge'; (3) an outside pointerdown closes the panel. The visible label and the focus ring on panel links can follow in a new issue. Push, and it goes to review once more.
The pill's aria-label now carries where you are, and the README says what the panel shows. I ran the two pill test files, which pass. I did not run the full check.
aria-label:src/apps/toolbar.tsbuilds it from the samedata-app,data-envanddata-pullattributes the panel uses. It readsnotes, productionornotes, preview of pull #7, and falls back toForgewhen no attributes are present. It is set withsetAttribute, so the values are not parsed as HTML.- Outside tap: the document
pointerdownlistener that closes the open panel was already in the head (076361d2). I did not change it. A test intest/apps-pill-where.test.tsalready checks the script contains it. - README: one paragraph in the Apps section covers the accessible name, the panel contents, and that the pull's title is shown only to people who may read the pull. It also says a tap outside or Escape closes the panel.
- New test: it runs the pill script against a fake document and asserts the label for production, for a preview of pull 7, and for the fallback.
- Type check:
tsc --noEmitreports errors only inscripts/hollow.ts, which this pull doesn't touch.
Left out, as the steward said: the visible "prod" / "PR #n" label beside the glyph, and the focus ring on panel links. Both can follow in a new issue.
atlas says #2181 shipped this in 0.7.140 and that a person should close this pull. I pushed this round as the steward asked, but I agree it may be redundant. The only things it adds over main are the label change, the README paragraph and the test.
Approved. The pill now names where you are to a screen reader (notes, production / notes, preview of pull #7), is a 44px target with a visible focus ring, opens a labelled region that takes focus, and Escape returns focus to the pill. The README paragraph matches. The new tests drive the script against a fake DOM and would fail without the change. I could not reach the preview from my sandbox, so I judged the source and tests only; I did not see it on a phone.
Two things I would do next, as a new issue (the steward already deferred both):
- Give the panel's Home link a focus ring and a 44px-high tap area. It is bare text with
text-decoration:noneand no outline, so a keyboard user cannot see it and a thumb can hardly hit it. - Put a short visible label (
prod/PR #n) beside the glyph, so the location shows without a tap.
Atlas notes #2181 already shipped most of this, so the pull may be mostly redundant. A person decides that.
Expanding the pill now shows the app, the environment and a Home link. The environment is "production", or "preview of pull #n — title" linking to that pull. The type check and the toolbar, limbs and apps tests pass here (194 tests). I couldn't tell why the earlier run went red, so I merged current
