Both /chat/new drafts lose their TopBar — home's register now: drag
mask first in the DOM, floating sidebar-reopen toggle as the only
pointer-events-auto spot, the empty state carrying the orientation.
The chain picker's own bar then sits at the very top of the column,
exactly like the graph view — no stacked bars, no special-casing.
The chain table drops its 'Chains' title with it: the serif title
register is RESERVED — it always names a session; the table names
nothing, so its bar carries counts + search + close only.
The chains-overlay TopBar had dead drag zones (counts, around search,
close gap) — cause: app-region subtraction resolves by DOM ORDER, not
z-index; the graph chrome's lh-no-drag column came later in the DOM and
punched holes through the overlay's drag band despite sitting visually
underneath (z-40 vs z-10).
Two laws, per the owner's standardization ruling:
- AUTO CARVE-OUT (globals.css): inside any .lh-drag band, every native
interactive element (button/input/textarea/select/a/summary/
[contenteditable]) is automatically a no-drag island — draggable
anywhere that is not a clickable element becomes structural. Manual
lh-no-drag is only for clickable non-natives.
- THE OVERLAY DOM LAW: a surface containing a TopBar that covers other
content must be the LAST child of its container — ChainTableOverlay
moved after the chrome column (verified live: last child, after the
column; auto-carve rule compiled; search/close/sidebar-toggle all
still click).
- components/top-bar.tsx: THE shared top bar (standardization ruling) —
h-15, lh-drag + carve-outs, select-none, SidebarToggle reopen with the
Electron traffic-light gutter; adopted by chat (rename keeps its
drag={false} escape hatch), new-session, practice-list, practice-exam,
and the chains overlay.
- chain table: prominent indentation (pl-11 / pl-[4.75rem]), the ONLY
lines are the separators between cluster groups (row + vertical lines
gone), plain statement rows (no conclusion marker), all three columns
sortable (Props too) with a small chevron on the active header.
