xarmian fe4ff887a0 fix(web): truncate long parent titles on item cards (BUG-630) (#238)
`item.parent_title` is populated by `enrichItemForResponse()` (via
`GetParentForItem()`) for both `parent` AND `implements` link types
— see `childLinkTypes` in `internal/store/items.go:17`. So when a task
implements an idea (a common pattern via the Implements relationship),
the idea's title becomes the task's `parent_title` and renders in the
`.meta-parent` chip on the item card.

That chip had `white-space: nowrap` and no width cap, so a long idea
title (e.g. an idea recorded as a full sentence — "we should add a
'pad info' cli command that provides information about the local
instance" is 89 chars) pushed the card past its column bounds on
Board view.

Fix:
- `.meta-parent`: add `overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis;
  max-width: 100%; min-width: 0;` alongside the existing `nowrap`,
  so the chip truncates with an ellipsis at the card-content edge.
- `.card-meta`: add `min-width: 0` so flex children with intrinsic
  content wider than the card can actually shrink instead of forcing
  the parent to grow.
- Template: bind a single `parentLabel` `@const` and pass it through
  to a `title={parentLabel}` attribute on the chip so the full label
  is still accessible via hover tooltip after truncation.

Affects both Board and List views (ItemCard is shared); the original
report focused on Board where columns are narrowest.

Verified manually on the running server with the known offending
item (`add-pad-server-info-for-local-and-remote-connection-status`
in docapp/tasks, parent IDEA-322, 89-char title): card now stays
within its column on Board view, chip truncates with ellipsis,
tooltip shows full text on hover.

Verified: web/npm run build clean, go test ./... green.

Pad Web UI

SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 frontend for Pad, compiled to static files and embedded into the Go binary.

Development

npm install
npm run dev          # Dev server at localhost:5173 (proxies API to localhost:7777)
npm run build        # Production build to build/
npm run check        # Type checking with svelte-check

When developing, run the Go backend separately with make dev from the project root.

Building for Production

Do not build in isolation. Always use make build from the project root — this builds the web frontend, then compiles the Go binary with the build output embedded via //go:embed.

Stack

  • Svelte 5 with runes ($state, $derived, $effect)
  • SvelteKit 2 with adapter-static (SPA mode)
  • Tiptap block editor with markdown round-trip
  • svelte-dnd-action for drag-and-drop in board/list views
  • SSE for real-time updates
  • TypeScript throughout
