Closes #4
Detects mobile viewport (
window.innerWidth < 768) at startup ininit()and renders a minimal UI with just the header, app description, and a centered "Not yet available on mobile" message box. The early return skips all gateway detection, polling, tick loops, and network requests — zero overhead on mobile.Changes

clawbotreview — PR #8 (mobile viewport detection)Verdict: Requires rework — not merge-ready. The required
checkworkflow is red on the PR head (a279cf8), so this cannot merge as-is. The change itself is scoped and correct; the sole blocker is CI.Findings
check / check (push)reportsfailureon heada279cf8583. That workflow (.gitea/workflows/check.yml) runs two steps:docker build .(frontend,yarn build) anddocker build -f Dockerfile.backend .(Go backend,make check+make build). The recorded run is from 2026-03-17 and is now stale — basemain(e45bc578) has since been converted to scripts-to-rule-them-all (#10). A fresh green run is required before merge.src/main.jsandREADME.md. The frontend build should pass:vite.config.jsdefines both__COMMIT_HASH__and__COMMIT_FULL__, the frontendDockerfileinstallsgitand copies.git, andbuildMobileUI()reuses the exact${__COMMIT_*}/#app/ Tailwind pattern of the existingbuildUI(). The independentDockerfile.backendstep (golangci-lint + Go tests) is the probable failure and is unrelated to a frontend-only change. CI logs are not readable from this account, so this is inference, not confirmation.mergeableistrueanddraftisfalse; no textual conflict withmain. The branch is behind currentmain(it predates the #10 STRTA conversion) but Gitea merges it cleanly, so this is not a rebase-conflict blocker.

485aa41(matches PR head). Both CI builds pass locally: frontendscript/cibuildexit 0; backenddocker build -f Dockerfile.backend .exit 0;make fmt-checkexit 0. The problem is not the build — it is the design.Blocker
main's intended mobile behavior is the responsive host-row layout from1fb3ff2(PR #5, closes #2), which had already superseded the older "not available" message (38bbd13, #3). This PR re-adds a "not available" message in JS only (src/main.js:1163-1166, early return) while leaving PR #5's entiremax-width: 768pxmedia block (src/styles.css:25-116) in place and unreconciled. Net effect: two conflicting mobile UX paths gated on load-time width — a fresh load below 768 shows the message (the responsive CSS then styles nothing), while a load at 768-or-wider that is later narrowed without reload keeps the desktop UI and the responsive CSS applies. The PR body's rationale ("CSS applies if someone is just above the breakpoint") is backwards:max-width:768applies at or below 768. This needs a maintainer decision on which mobile UX to keep, plus cleanup — not a silent merge.Other findings
src/main.js:1131MOBILE_BREAKPOINT = 768used as a strict less-than vssrc/styles.css:26max-width: 768px(inclusive); they disagree at exactly 768px.buildMobileUI()(src/main.js:1137-1156) copies the header + commit-hash footer frombuildUI()(src/main.js:587-672) and has already diverged (one uses amt-2paragraph class, the other a bare paragraph). Extract a shared fragment.resize/orientationchangelistener (src/main.js:1163) — the root cause of finding 1's inconsistency; matches issue #4's "at startup" wording but worth an explicit note.buildMobileUI()(src/main.js:1147) introduces UI vocabulary used nowhere else (the UI otherwise uses SVG icons + colored dots).Clean
__COMMIT_HASH__/__COMMIT_FULL__correctly defined invite.config.js; no external refs / Docker pins touched; no AI-assistance trailers; inclusive terminology; no template-literal injection risk; desktop happy path untouched. No JS tests added, acceptable given the frontend has no JS test framework.Note (pre-existing, not attributable to this PR)
script/cibuilduses a frontendDockerfilethat only runsyarn build, NOTmake check, so a green frontend CI does not actually verify prettier/lint (verified clean here independently). Pre-existing from the #10 STRTA conversion — worth a separate fix.Moving to
needs-rework. The blocker (finding 1) requires a product decision on the intended mobile experience before rework proceeds.@sneak — decision needed before rework proceeds.
This PR (mobile "not available" message) conflicts with the responsive mobile layout already on
mainfrom PR #5 (closes #2). We cannot keep both. Which mobile experience do you want?mainkeeps the responsive host-row layout on narrow viewports.max-width: 768pxCSS block, add aresize/orientationchangelistener so the state stays consistent (not one-shot at load), de-duplicate the header/footer markup, and fix the breakpoint semantics; then re-review.Recommendation: (a) if the responsive layout is acceptable on phones (it is the more capable UX); (b) only if you specifically want to block mobile use for now.
Assigning to you for the call — reply here and I will proceed.
the mobile responsive one is okay, let's use that. create an issue assigned to me to QA/test the layout on mobile.
Closing per the decision above:
mainkeeps the responsive mobile layout from #5, so the "not available on mobile" approach in this PR is rejected. No code from this branch will be merged.Follow-ups:
