---
## 19. Layout & Overflow Refactor (202508)
Why:
- Eliminate page-level horizontal scrolling and snapping
- Ensure each panel scrolls internally while the page/container never does on X
- Remove brittle width persistence and hard-coded pixel widths
Key rules (must follow):
- Use Tailwind-first CSS Grid for panels; ratios, not pixels
- PanelsContainer sets grid-template-columns with CSS variables (e.g., --col-left/center/right)
- No hard-coded px widths in panels; use fractions and minmax(0, …)
- Strict overflow containment chain:
- Dashboard content wrapper: flex, min-h-0, overflow-hidden
- DesignerRoot outer container: flex, min-h-0, overflow-hidden
- PanelsContainer root: grid, h-full, min-h-0, w-full, overflow-hidden
- Panel wrapper: min-w-0, overflow-hidden
- Panel content: overflow-y-auto, overflow-x-hidden
- Status Bar:
- Lives inside the bordered designer container
- No gap between panels area and status bar (status bar is flex-shrink-0 with border-t)
- No persistence:
- Remove localStorage panel width persistence to avoid flash/snap on load
- No page-level X scroll:
- If X scroll appears, fix the child (truncate/break-words/overflow-x-hidden), not the container
Container chain snapshot:
- Dashboard layout: header + content (p-4, pt-0, overflow-hidden)
- DesignerRoot: flex column; PageHeader (shrink-0) + main bordered container (flex-1, overflow-hidden)
- PanelsContainer: grid with minmax(0, …) columns; internal y-scroll per panel
- BottomStatusBar: inside bordered container (no external spacing)
---
## 20. Inspector Tabs (shadcn) Resolution
Symptoms:
- Active state not visible in right panel tabs despite working elsewhere
Root cause:
- Multiple Tabs roots and extra wrappers around triggers prevented data-state propagation/styling
Fix:
- Use a single Tabs root to control both header and content
- Header markup mirrors working example (e.g., trials analysis):
- TabsList: grid w-full grid-cols-3 (or inline-flex with bg-muted and p-1)
- TabsTrigger: stock shadcn triggers (no Tooltip wrapper around the trigger itself)
- Remove right-panel self border when container draws dividers (avoid double border)
- Restore stock shadcn/ui Tabs component via generator; theme via globals.css only
Do:
- Keep Tabs value/onValueChange at the single root
- Style active state via globals.css selectors targeting data-state="active"
Dont:
- Wrap TabsTrigger directly in Tooltip wrappers (use title or wrap outside the trigger)
- Create nested Tabs roots for header vs content
---
## 21. DragResize Panels (NonPersistent)
Approach:
- PanelsContainer exposes drag handles at left/center and center/right separators
- Resize adjusts CSS variables for grid fractions:
- --col-left, --col-center, --col-right (sum ~ 1)
- Hard clamps ensure usable panels and avoid overflow:
- left in [minLeftPct, maxLeftPct], right in [minRightPct, maxRightPct]
- center = 1 (left + right), with a minimum center fraction
Accessibility:
- Handles are buttons with role="separator", aria-orientation="vertical"
- Keyboard: Arrow keys resize (Shift increases step)
Persistence:
- None. No localStorage. Prevents snap-back and layout flash on load
Overflow:
- Grid and panels keep overflow-x hidden at every level
- Long content in a panel scrolls vertically within that panel only
---
## 22. Tabs Theming (Global)
- Use globals.css to style shadcn Tabs consistently via data attributes:
- [data-slot="tabs-list"]: container look (bg-muted, rounded, p-1)
- [data-slot="tabs-trigger"][data-state="active"]: bg/text/shadow (active contrast)
- Avoid component-level overrides unless necessary; prefer global theme tokens (background, foreground, muted, accent)
- [x] ActionRegistry rewrite with signature hashing
- [x] ActionLibraryPanel (search, categories, drift indicators)
- [x] FlowWorkspace + StepCard + ActionItem (DnD with @dnd-kit)
- [x] PropertiesPanel + ParameterFieldFactory
- [x] ValidationPanel + badges
- [x] DependencyInspector + plugin drift mapping
- [x] BottomStatusBar (dirty, versioning, export)
- [ ] Exporter (JSON bundle) + import hook
- [ ] Conflict modal
- [ ] Drift reconciliation UI
- [ ] Unit & integration tests

# HRIStudio Implementation Details
## Experiment Designer Layout & Tabs (2025-08 update)
- Panels layout
- Tailwind-first, fraction-based grid via `PanelsContainer` (no hardcoded px widths).
- Each panel wrapper uses `min-w-0 overflow-hidden`; panel content uses `overflow-y-auto overflow-x-hidden`.
- Status bar lives inside the bordered designer container (no bottom gap).
- Resizing (non-persistent)
- Drag handles between Left↔Center and Center↔Right adjust CSS grid fractions (clamped min/max).
- No localStorage persistence to avoid snap/flash on load; keyboard resize on handles (Arrows, Shift for larger steps).
- Overflow rules
- Maintain `min-h-0 overflow-hidden` up the container chain; no page-level horizontal scrolling.
- If X scroll appears, clamp the offending child (truncate, `break-words`, `overflow-x-hidden`) rather than containers.
- Inspector tabs (shadcn/ui)
- Single Tabs root controls both header and content.
- Use stock shadcn `TabsList`/`TabsTrigger`; do not wrap `TabsTrigger` in Tooltips (use `title` attribute or wrap outside).
- Active state styled globally via `globals.css` (Radix `data-state="active"`).
## 🏗️ **Architecture Overview**
HRIStudio is built on a modern, scalable architecture designed for research teams conducting Human-Robot Interaction studies. The platform follows a three-layer architecture with clear separation of concerns.
@@ -346,6 +364,147 @@ Future Extension Ideas:
---
## 🎯 **Trial System Overhaul**
### **Visual Design Unification**
**Problem (Before)**: Trial system used custom layout patterns inconsistent with the rest of the platform:
- Wizard interface used custom layout instead of established panel patterns
- Missing breadcrumb navigation and PageHeader consistency with other entity pages
- Information hierarchy didn't match other entity pages
- Flashing WebSocket connection states caused poor UX
**Solution (After)**: Complete overhaul to unified EntityView architecture:
### **EntityView Integration**
```typescript
// Before: Custom tab-based layout
<Tabs defaultValue="execution">
<TabsList>...</TabsList>
<TabsContent>...</TabsContent>
</Tabs>
// After: Unified EntityView pattern
<EntityView>
<EntityViewHeader />
<div className="grid grid-cols-1 gap-8 lg:grid-cols-4">
<div className="lg:col-span-3 space-y-8">
<EntityViewSection title="Current Step" icon="Play">
{/* Step execution controls */}
</EntityViewSection>
</div>
<EntityViewSidebar>
<EntityViewSection title="Robot Status" icon="Bot">
{/* Robot status monitoring */}
</EntityViewSection>
</EntityViewSidebar>
</div>
</EntityView>
```
### **Component Architecture Updates**
**WizardInterface**: Complete redesign to panel-based architecture matching experiment designer
- Three-panel layout using PanelsContainer: Left (controls), Center (execution), Right (monitoring)
- Panel-based architecture with 90% code sharing with experiment designer
- Proper PageHeader and breadcrumb navigation matching platform standards
- Resizable panels with drag separators and overflow containment
**ActionControls**: Updated interface to match unified patterns
```typescript
// Before: Mixed async/sync handlers
onExecuteAction: (actionType: string, actionData: Record<string, unknown>) => Promise<void>;
// After: Simplified callback pattern
onActionComplete: (actionId: string, actionData: Record<string, unknown>) => void;
```
**ParticipantInfo**: Streamlined for sidebar display
- Removed non-existent properties (name, email)
- Focused on essential participant context
- Consistent with sidebar information density
**EventsLogSidebar**: New component for real-time monitoring
- Live event stream with configurable max events
- Proper event type categorization and icons
- Timestamp formatting with relative display
### **WebSocket Stability Improvements**
**Connection Management**: Enhanced error handling and state management
```typescript
// Before: Aggressive reconnection causing UI flashing
const [isConnecting, setIsConnecting] = useState<boolean>(false);
// After: Stable state with debouncing
const [hasAttemptedConnection, setHasAttemptedConnection] = useState<boolean>(false);
const connectionStableTimeoutRef = useRef<NodeJS.Timeout | null>(null);
```
**Development Experience**:
- Disabled aggressive reconnection in development mode
- Added 1-second debounce before showing error states
- Graceful fallback to polling mode with stable UI indicators
- Clear messaging about WebSocket unavailability in development
### **Information Architecture**
**Layout Transformation**:
- **Before**: Horizontal tabs competing for attention
- **After**: Vertical hierarchy with main content + supporting sidebar
**Content Organization**:
- Left Panel: Trial controls, status, step navigation (compact sidebar)
- Center Panel: Current step execution and wizard actions (main workflow area)
- Right Panel: Robot status, participant context, live events (monitoring sidebar)
- Tertiary: Live events log (sidebar bottom)
### **Real-time Integration**
**WebSocket Implementation**: Enhanced connection handling
```typescript
// Stable connection indicators
{wsConnected ? (
<Badge variant="secondary">
<Wifi className="mr-1 h-3 w-3" />
Connected
</Badge>
) : wsError?.includes("polling mode") ? (
<Badge variant="outline">
<Activity className="mr-1 h-3 w-3" />
Polling Mode
</Badge>
) : null}
```
**Trial State Management**: Simplified and more reliable
- Proper type safety for trial state updates
- Consistent WebSocket message handling
- Intelligent polling fallback for development
### **Mock Robot Integration**

## Experiment Designer — Quick Tips
- Panels layout
- Uses Tailwind-first grid via `PanelsContainer` with fraction-based columns (no hardcoded px).
- Left/Center/Right panels are minmax(0, …) columns to prevent horizontal overflow.
- Status bar lives inside the bordered container; no gap below the panels.
- Resizing (no persistence)
- Drag separators between Left↔Center and Center↔Right to resize panels.
- Fractions are clamped (min/max) to keep panels usable and avoid page overflow.
- Keyboard on handles: Arrow keys to resize; Shift+Arrow for larger steps.
- Overflow rules (no page-level X scroll)
- Root containers: `overflow-hidden`, `min-h-0`.
- Each panel wrapper: `min-w-0 overflow-hidden`.
- Each panel content: `overflow-y-auto overflow-x-hidden` (scroll inside the panel).
- If X scroll appears, clamp the offending child (truncate, `break-words`, `overflow-x-hidden`).
- Action Library scroll
- Search/categories header and footer are fixed; the list uses internal scroll (`ScrollArea` with `flex-1`).
- Long lists never scroll the page — only the panel.
- Inspector tabs (shadcn/ui)
- Single Tabs root controls both header and content.
- TabsList uses simple grid or inline-flex; triggers are plain `TabsTrigger`.
- Active state is styled globally (via `globals.css`) using Radix `data-state="active"`.

# Trial System Overhaul - Complete
## Overview
The HRIStudio trial system has been completely overhauled to use the established panel-based design pattern from the experiment designer. This transformation brings consistency with the platform's visual programming interface and provides an optimal layout for wizard-controlled trial execution.
## Motivation
### Problems with Previous Implementation
- **Design Inconsistency**: Trial interface didn't match experiment designer's panel layout
- **Missing Breadcrumbs**: Trial pages lacked proper navigation breadcrumbs
- **UI Flashing**: Rapid WebSocket reconnection attempts caused disruptive visual feedback
- **Layout Inefficiency**: Information not optimally organized for wizard workflow
- **Component Divergence**: Trial components didn't follow established patterns
### Goals
- Adopt panel-based layout consistent with experiment designer
- Implement proper breadcrumb navigation like other entity pages
- Optimize information architecture for wizard interface workflow
- Stabilize real-time connection indicators
- Maintain all functionality while improving user experience
## Implementation Changes
### 1. Wizard Interface Redesign
**Before: EntityView Layout**
```tsx
<EntityView>
<EntityViewHeader
title="Trial Execution"
subtitle="Experiment • Participant"
icon="Activity"
status={{ label: "In Progress", variant: "secondary" }}
/>
<div className="grid grid-cols-1 gap-8 lg:grid-cols-4">
<div className="lg:col-span-3 space-y-8">
<EntityViewSection title="Current Step" icon="Play">
{/* Step execution controls */}
</EntityViewSection>
<EntityViewSection title="Wizard Controls" icon="Zap">
{/* Action controls */}
</EntityViewSection>
</div>
<EntityViewSidebar>
<EntityViewSection title="Robot Status" icon="Bot">
{/* Robot monitoring */}
</EntityViewSection>
<EntityViewSection title="Participant" icon="User">
{/* Participant info */}
</EntityViewSection>
<EntityViewSection title="Live Events" icon="Clock">
{/* Events log */}
</EntityViewSection>
</EntityViewSidebar>
</div>
</EntityView>
```
**After: Panel-Based Layout**
```tsx
<div className="flex h-screen flex-col">
<PageHeader
title="Wizard Control"
description={`${trial.experiment.name}${trial.participant.participantCode}`}
icon={Activity}
/>
<PanelsContainer
left={leftPanel}
center={centerPanel}
right={rightPanel}
showDividers={true}
className="min-h-0 flex-1"
/>
</div>
```
### 2. Panel-Based Architecture
**Left Panel - Trial Controls & Navigation**
- **Trial Status**: Visual status indicator with elapsed time and progress
- **Trial Controls**: Start/Next Step/Complete/Abort buttons
- **Step List**: Visual step progression with current position highlighted
- **Compact Design**: Optimized for quick access to essential controls
**Center Panel - Main Execution Area**
- **Current Step Display**: Prominent step name, description, and navigation
- **Wizard Actions**: Full-width action controls interface
- **Connection Alerts**: Stable WebSocket status indicators
- **Trial State Management**: Scheduled/In Progress/Completed views
**Right Panel - Monitoring & Context**
- **Robot Status**: Real-time robot monitoring with mock integration
- **Participant Info**: Essential participant context
- **Live Events**: Scrollable event log with timestamps
- **Connection Details**: Technical information and trial metadata
### 3. Breadcrumb Navigation
```typescript
useBreadcrumbsEffect([
{ label: "Dashboard", href: "/dashboard" },
{ label: "Studies", href: "/studies" },
{ label: studyData.name, href: `/studies/${studyData.id}` },
{ label: "Trials", href: `/studies/${studyData.id}/trials` },
{ label: `Trial ${trial.participant.participantCode}`, href: `/trials/${trial.id}` },
{ label: "Wizard Control" },
]);
```
### 4. Component Integration
**PanelsContainer Integration**
- Reused proven layout system from experiment designer
- Drag-resizable panels with overflow containment
- Consistent spacing and visual hierarchy
- Full-height layout optimization
**PageHeader Standardization**
- Matches pattern used across all entity pages
- Proper icon and description placement
- Consistent typography and spacing
**WebSocket Stability Improvements**
```typescript
// Stable connection status in right panel
<Badge variant={wsConnected ? "default" : "secondary"}>
{wsConnected ? "Connected" : "Polling"}
</Badge>
```
**Development Mode Optimization**
