fix(core-beta): place the notice card from main's geometry, not the page's width - #1565
Conversation
…age's width
The card centred itself with `margin-inline: auto`, which centres against the
PAGE's width. That width is sometimes still the pre-resize value: main has set
the view's new bounds and the page has not processed them yet. Centring against
it puts the card one shadow gutter off the anchor — and the beak is pinned to
the card, so the whole thing points beside the bell.
Caught by the anchor assertion's diagnostic, which named it on its first
outing:
bell=620 viewX=462 viewWidth=316 cardLeft=10 cardWidth=280
beakInCard=140 beakInlineStyle=50% pageWidth=300 | viewCentreVsBell=0
`pageWidth=300` inside a `viewWidth=316` view. The card centred in 300 lands at
10 where it belongs at 18, and half that 16px gap is the 8px the test measured.
`viewCentreVsBell=0` clears main's placement — the view was always centred on
the bell correctly.
So main now sends the card's offset within the view alongside the beak
fraction, and the renderer applies it. Main already computed that number; the
renderer was re-deriving it from the one quantity it cannot trust. `null` when
absent, falling back to the existing CSS centring, so an older main degrades to
today's behaviour rather than to a bogus offset.
This is user-visible, not just a test failure: anyone whose popup renderer lags
a resize sees the card and its beak 8px off the bell.
Measured, not assumed. The e2e reproduced it 3 times in 11 runs before; with
this change it is 16 clean runs out of 16. At the prior rate that outcome lands
by chance under one percent of the time.

🟡 Medium — The cmCardLeft === null strict check only catches null, so a payload from an older preload where cardLeftInView is undefined takes the explicit-margin branch and emits marginLeft: 'undefinedpx' plus marginRight: '0' — the browser drops the invalid left margin but keeps the right one, right-aligning the card instead of falling back to CSS centring. Use cmCardLeft == null (or typeof cmCardLeft !== 'number') so both null and undefined degrade to the auto margins. Raised by 1 of 8 reviewers (gemini-3.1-pro edge-case).

🟡 Medium — cardLeftInView pins the card's left edge using the width main assumed (bubble.width), so it is only correct when the rendered card is exactly that wide. On the 120ms ack-timeout path bubble comes from the popup's initial/previous bounds, so a card that is actually wider or narrower now sits off-centre by half the delta and drags the beak off the anchor — the old margin: auto was self-correcting there because the card centre always coincided with the view centre. Consider keeping auto centring until a real measurement has been acked, or re-pushing the offset after the next ack. Raised by 1 of 8 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max edge-case).

🟢 Low — cmCardLeft is assigned straight from the IPC payload with no range check, while beakFraction on the line above is clamped to [0, 1] and the preload only verifies finiteness. A negative or oversized offset pushes the card outside the overflow: hidden viewport with nothing to recover it, and repositionAndShow still calls showOnTop({ focus: true }), leaving an invisible dialog holding keyboard focus. Clamp to [0, Math.max(0, viewWidth - cardWidth)] (or at minimum to >= 0) in the renderer. Raised by 2 of 8 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max adversarial, claude-opus-5-thinking-max edge-case).

🟢 Low — Neither assertion can fail: cardLeftInView reduces to COACHMARK_SHADOW_GUTTER for every reachable input, and line 97 re-uses the same cardWidth that was fed in as bubble.width, so it just restates main's arithmetic. The condition this change exists to fix — the renderer's actual card width differing from the width main measured — is untested, which gives false confidence in the centring path.

🟢 Low — When the card is wider than the view (view sized from a previous narrower card on the fallback show), CSS resolves the over-constrained auto margins to 0, so the card was previously flush-left and visible from its left edge. The explicit marginLeft now shifts that overflowing card a further cardLeftInView px under overflow: hidden, clipping content that used to render.

🟢 Low — The placement is pushed over async IPC while the view is shown in the same turn, so the first painted frame renders before the renderer applies cardLeftInView — and on the first show cmCardLeft is still null, so that frame uses exactly the stale-width CSS centring this change exists to avoid, then jumps one gutter. Showing only after the renderer acknowledges the beak push, or seeding the offset in the config push, would avoid the visible correction.

⚪ Nit — cardLeftInView is algebraically always COACHMARK_SHADOW_GUTTER given cardWidth === viewWidth - COACHMARK_SHADOW_GUTTER * 2, and the same offset is already derived independently as cardLeft = x + COACHMARK_SHADOW_GUTTER a few lines above for beakFraction. Deriving one quantity two ways lets them silently disagree if either clamp changes, which would detach the beak from the card; reuse the existing cardLeft derivation instead.

⚪ Nit — comfy-titletooltip:set-beak now carries card placement but still has no configToken, unlike :rendered, dismiss, and action on this same reused popup. Geometry computed for one card can be applied to whichever card is mounted when it lands; same-channel ordering keeps it transient today, but nothing lets the renderer discard a push for a card it has already replaced. Raised by 1 of 8 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max adversarial).
Review caught that the first version traded one staleness for another. Pinning the left edge uses the width main ASSUMED (`bubble.width`), so it is only right while the card renders exactly that wide — and on the fallback show the view is sized before any measurement exists. It fixed "wrong when the page's width is stale" by introducing "wrong when the card's width is stale". Main now sends the card's centre — the view's own midpoint — and the renderer places it with `left` plus `translateX(-50%)`. That offsets by half of whatever the card actually is, so it is correct for any rendered width AND for a page still laid out at its previous width. Neither assumption is load-bearing any more. Also from review: - the payload is accepted only when finite and non-negative, and the renderer tests the value rather than `=== null`. An older preload sends `undefined`, which the strict check would have passed through to the style binding as `undefinedpx`; - the unit test could not fail. It compared the offset against the gutter and re-used the same width it had fed in, so both sides reduced to the same constant for every reachable input. It now varies card width and anchor, including a clamped one, and asserts the card centre lands on the ANCHOR. Verified by shifting the computed centre 4px: three cases fail. Measured again after the rework: 10 clean runs out of 10, against 3 failures in 11 before any fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Three processes have to agree on this payload — main sends it, the preload validates it, the renderer applies it — and each declared its own shape. An IPC boundary gives no compile error when those drift: `send` is untyped and `ipcRenderer.on` hands back `unknown`, so a later change could make them disagree and the card would land in the wrong place with everything still building. Declared once in `src/types/ipc.ts`, whose own header already says it is the single source of truth for exactly this, and imported by all three. Type-only, so nothing new reaches any bundle. Raised by CodeRabbit on this PR, and it is the same fix I argued for when I DECLINED a related suggestion on #1552: there the objection was that the type lived in a main-process module with value imports, and I said the clean answer was a type-only declaration both sides import rather than two copies. This is that answer, applied to the payload this PR introduces. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Geometry review clean.
- Current CI matrix passes.
- Please refresh the PR body.
Full context for agent readers
Reviewed all five changed files and 17 diff hunks through three independent static reviews. The main-to-preload-to-renderer center geometry is clean, including clamping, stale page width, rendered-width drift, null fallback, and config reuse. Current CI passes unit, integration, typecheck, lint, format, bridge-contract, and Linux/macOS/Windows end-to-end jobs. The notice-specific geometry assertion is Linux-only. The author-reported 3/11 pre-fix and 16/16 post-fix repeated runs were not independently established.
Please update the PR body to describe the actual cardCentreInView protocol with left plus translateX(-50%), and update the own-base summary to five files and +122/-10. This is a nonblocking PR-body-only correction, so no source-line anchor is appropriate.
Glossary: CI means continuous integration. IPC means inter-process communication between Desktop processes.

Body refreshed — it described the revision this PR no longer is. It documented the first version, which sent the card's left offset. Review here showed that only holds while the card renders exactly as wide as Own-base summary corrected to 5 files, +122/−10 (132 changed) — matching your figures exactly, regenerated from On your caveat about the repeated runs: you are right and I have made the body say so. Those are my own local runs on one machine — 3 failures in 11 before, 0 in 16 after, 0 in 10 after the rework — not an independently established result. Nothing in CI corroborates them either, since the failure is intermittent and the notice geometry assertion is Linux-only, so a green matrix is not evidence in this direction. I would rather that read as a measurement someone could repeat and disagree with than as a settled number. |

TL;DR
The notice card centred itself against the page's own width, which is sometimes still the pre-resize value — so the card, and the beak pinned to it, landed off the bell. Main now sends the card's centre and the renderer places it from that.
The bug
margin-inline: autocentres against the page's width. Main sets the view's new bounds, and the page does not always process them before the card is placed. Centring against the stale width misplaces the card, and because the beak sits at a fixed fraction of the card, the whole thing points beside the bell.The anchor assertion's diagnostic named it:
pageWidth=300inside aviewWidth=316view. A card centred in 300 lands at 10 where it belongs at 18 — half that 16 px gap is the 8 px measured.viewCentreVsBell=0clears main's placement: the view was always centred on the bell correctly.This is user-visible. Anyone whose popup renderer lags a resize sees the card and its beak off the bell.
The protocol
positionCoachmarkreturnscardCentreInView— the view's own midpoint — sent alongsidebeakFractiononcomfy-titletooltip:set-beak. The renderer applies it asleft: <centre>pxwithtransform: translateX(-50%).A centre rather than a left edge, deliberately. An earlier revision of this PR sent the left offset, which is only correct while the card renders exactly as wide as
bubble.widthpredicted — so it would have traded a stale-viewport failure for a stale-width one, including on the fallback show where the view is sized before any measurement exists.translateX(-50%)offsets by half of whatever the card actually is, so neither the page's width nor main's width assumption is load-bearing.The payload is accepted only when finite and non-negative; anything else, including the
undefinedan older preload would send, leavescardCentreInViewnull and falls back to the existing CSS centring. The payload shape is declared once insrc/types/ipc.tsand imported by main, preload and renderer — three processes have to agree on it and an IPC boundary gives no compile error when they drift.Testing
The unit test varies card width and anchor, including a clamped one, and asserts the card centre lands on the anchor. Verified it can fail: shifting the computed centre by 4 px fails three cases. (Its predecessor could not fail — it compared the offset to the gutter while re-using the width it fed in, so both sides reduced to the same constant.)
Locally, on this machine, the e2e reproduced the misalignment 3 times in 11 runs before the change and 0 times in 16 after it, then 0 in 10 after the rework. Those are my own repeated local runs, not an independent result — the failure is intermittent and Linux-only, so CI passing is not by itself evidence either way.
5362 unit tests pass; typecheck, lint and format clean.
