    win over header widths.
+   A table whose columns need unequal room in that band (a long name beside
+   short counts) declares each header's percent through
+   `platformTableBandWidthStyle` or the sortable header's `bandWidth`, which

    Below a 360-pixel content width, the shared narrow layout promotes identity to
    40 percent and may remove one additional lowest-priority context column via
    `platform-table-narrow-hidden` rather than shrinking names and metric values

 truncation.
+With one cluster in view, every Kubernetes scope cell repeated the cluster
+name and crowded out the namespace that differs between rows, so the tables
+show the namespace alone (`Cluster` for cluster-scoped objects) through
+`kubernetesScopeDisplayLabel` and keep the full cluster/namespace scope on the

+Desired for wide tables only, because Ready already shows ready over desired,

+RBAC names first, then the namespace scope, then the short Lifecycle and Data
+shape values, then Kind. Kubernetes summary cells truncate through a block span
