Closes #232

Summary

  • Extend the strip's clip region 12px into the page gutter (negative horizontal margin + compensating padding) so pills sit flush only 12px inside the scroll edge instead of hard-clipping at the container boundary — focus outlines are no longer cropped at the left edge
  • Add scroll-px-3 so keyboard/auto scroll-into-view lands pills at the same inset
  • Replace the width-proportional right mask (black 85% → transparent, ~50-60px on mobile) with fixed 28px edge fades — enough to hint at continuation without washing out the last pill
  • Add a symmetric subtle left fade shown only when scrollLeft > 4px; right fade unchanged in behavior (hidden at the end, no mask when all pills fit)

Test plan

  • New integration tests: mask states at start/middle/end, single-row layout, focus-scroll (tests/integration/page-section-nav.test.tsx)
  • New e2e test asserting computed mask-image at each scroll position (tests/e2e/interactive-content.spec.ts)
  • 525/525 vitest, lint, typecheck, npm run check, build:test clean
  • Browser-verified at 390px, 844px landscape, 768px, 1024px, 1440px — start/mid/end masks, unclipped focus ring, zero document horizontal overflow, keyboard traversal auto-scrolls

Summary by Sourcery

Improve page-section navigation edge handling so scrolling and focus states remain unclipped while edge fades clearly indicate available content.

Bug Fixes:

  • Prevent page-section navigation pills and their focus outlines from being clipped at the scroll edges.
  • Show edge fades only where navigation content is clipped, including a subtle left fade after scrolling.

Enhancements:

  • Use fixed narrow edge fades and matching scroll insets to keep pills readable while preserving scroll affordances.

Tests:

  • Add integration and end-to-end coverage for navigation layout, focus behavior, overflow states, and edge-mask transitions.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Section navigation now fades the edges where content is clipped as you scroll: the right edge at the start, both edges mid-scroll, and the left edge at the end. Fades appear only on sides with additional content to scroll to and disappear when all sections are visible.
    • Added spacing around the navigation strip to accommodate focus outlines and improve alignment with surrounding content. The navigation remains on a single scrollable row.

The horizontal pill row clipped pills flush at the scroll edge -
cropping focus outlines at the left edge - and its width-proportional
right mask (~15% of the strip) washed out the last visible pill enough
to read as disabled.

Extend the clip region 12px into the page gutter with negative margins
and compensating padding (pills stay gutter-aligned at rest but no
longer hard-clip), add top headroom for focus rings, and use
scroll-px-3 so keyboard focus-into-view lands at the same inset.

Replace the single right-only fade with a fixed 28px mask on each
edge: right fade only when content remains, plus a symmetric subtle
left fade once scrollLeft exceeds 4px. No mask when everything fits.

Reviewer's Guide

The PR refines PageSectionNav’s horizontal scrolling by bleeding the clip region into the gutter, aligning focus auto-scroll with the inset, and replacing the broad right fade with narrow conditional fades on whichever edges have clipped content. Integration and browser tests verify the responsive scroll and mask behavior.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Expanded the horizontal scroll strip’s clipping and focus-scroll inset to prevent edge clipping while preserving content alignment.
  • Added negative horizontal margin with compensating padding and vertical focus-outline headroom.
  • Configured scroll snapping/padding so keyboard focus scrolling uses the same 12px inset.
components/navigation/PageSectionNav.tsx
Reworked edge fades to use fixed-width, state-dependent masks that reflect actual scrollability.
  • Tracked left and right clipped-content state from scroll position, dimensions, resize events, and scroll events.
  • Applied 28px left/right fades only when content is clipped at the corresponding edge; removed masks when all content fits.
components/navigation/PageSectionNav.tsx
Added coverage for layout, focus behavior, and mask transitions across scroll positions.
  • Added integration tests for single-row styling, inset classes, start/middle/end fade states, and non-overflow behavior.
  • Added an end-to-end test that verifies computed mask gradients at the start, middle, and end of the strip.

Assessment against linked issues

Issue Objective Addressed Explanation
#232 Ensure the first pill and its keyboard focus outline are not flush-clipped at the left edge, while maintaining a modest inset and preserving focus/auto-scroll behavior. ✅
#232 Replace the overly wide right-edge fade with a narrower, softer affordance of approximately 24–36px, while retaining its scroll-aware visibility and removing it when all content fits or the strip is scrolled to the end. ✅
#232 Add a subtle left-edge affordance only when the row has been scrolled away from its initial position, while preserving the single-row layout and existing navigation, sticky positioning, and reduced-motion behavior. ✅

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

PageSectionNav tracks clipped content on both sides of its horizontal strip. It adjusts the strip’s clip region and scroll insets, and applies edge masks based on the scroll position. Integration and end-to-end tests cover scrolling and non-overflow states.

Changes

Page section navigation edge fades

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track clipped content at both edges
components/navigation/PageSectionNav.tsx
PageSectionNav adds left-edge overflow state and updates it alongside the existing right-edge check.
Apply edge masks and verify scrolling states
components/navigation/PageSectionNav.tsx, tests/integration/page-section-nav.test.tsx, tests/e2e/interactive-content.spec.ts
The strip adjusts its clip region and scroll insets. It applies 28px masks based on which edges have clipped content. Tests check the start, middle, and end positions, as well as a strip with no overflow.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 32b61

The visual changes have no demonstrated runtime regression, so the PR is mergeable. A focused assertion for off-screen active-pill scrolling would better protect that behavior from regressions.

  • observed — components (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in components/navigation/PageSectionNav.tsx: PageSectionNav adds canScrollLeft state, initialized to false, to track left-edge overflow.
  • observed — Modified behavior in components/navigation/PageSectionNav.tsx: The overflow updater now sets canScrollLeft when scrollLeft > 4, alongside the existing right-overflow check (scrollWidth - scrollLeft - clientWidth > 4). The accompanying comments describe fades at clipped edges.
  • observed — Modified behavior in components/navigation/PageSectionNav.tsx: The strip’s clip region now extends into the page gutter, adds vertical headroom for focus outlines, and uses scroll-px-3 instead of scroll-px-4. The previous right-only 85% mask is replaced with 28px masks for both clipped edges, right-only overflow, or left-only overflow; no mask is applied when neither edge is clipped.
  • observed — Modified behavior in tests/e2e/interactive-content.spec.ts: Added coverage for the section navigation’s computed mask at a 390px viewport: the start shows a right-edge fade with a 28px stop, scrolling to the middle shows fades at both edges, and scrolling to the end leaves only the left-edge fade.

**Wide right fades still pass**

When the right-edge fade uses a width-proportional stop such as the previous 85% stop instead of a fixed 28px stop, the start-position assertion in `shows only a right-edge fade at the start position` checks only the class prefix, and the e2e assertion checks only the gradient's endpoint colors; both pass with the old 15%-wide right fade, which still washes out the last visible pill.

Assert the computed right-fade stop is 28px at the start position.

Also at `tests/e2e/interactive-content.spec.ts:133`.

52-59: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Test the off-screen active-pill path.

The new test focuses the first button, but focus does not update activeId. PageSectionNav calls scrollIntoView when an active pill is outside the strip. Add a case that activates a pill with mocked out-of-strip bounds and asserts that call; otherwise, this behavior can regress while the test still passes.
