phase: 86_history_page_width

All criteria verified. Final report:

**Phase 86 final verification pass — all green, no defects found.**

- **Verified (previously implemented):** `position: relative` on shared `.table-wrap` (the one-rule A3 fix, +12 lines in `frontend/assets/styles.css`); unit pin `tests/unit/test_table_wrap_stacking.py` (3 tests); E2E story `tests/e2e/test_history_page_width.py` (5 tests: History 626→≤375, Tokens 618→≤375, SPA switch with window-sentinel, RAG regression, desktop 1280×800)
- **Tests/lint (this pass):** `uv run pytest` → 1720 passed · `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → TOTAL **99%** (>90% floor) · E2E in isolation: `test_history_page_width.py` 5 passed, `test_chat_history.py` 5 passed, `test_api_tokens.py` 9 passed, `test_smoke.py` 3 passed · `uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright` → clean, 0 errors
- **Completion criteria:** ① 375px direct+SPA `scrollWidth ≤ innerWidth` on History/Tokens — PASS (E2E pins) ② in-card scroll preserved + full-width + a11y spans in DOM — PASS ③ Sources + desktop regression — PASS ④ full suite/coverage/E2E/lint gates — PASS ⑤ `git diff --stat` limited to `styles.css` (+12) + new test files + phase files, no `app/`/markup/JS — PASS ⑥ commit/move — left to harness per executor rules (working tree intact, `todo/` dir removal already reflected)
- **Notable:** red→green (CSS reverted → 626px failure) and manual live check already recorded in `.agents/reports/86_history_page_width/`; pre-existing untracked `.agents/remediation_plan.md` (Sep 7 security audit) untouched
- **Next pending phase:** `87_big_read_progress`

+**Report — Phase 86, Task 01 (table-wrap containing-block fix)**
+
+- Added `position: relative;` (first declaration) to the shared `.table-wrap` rule in `frontend/assets/styles.css`, with a root-cause comment (positioned `.visually-hidden` spans → initial containing block → document scroll leak; TODO.md L4) — the one-rule A3 fix
+- New unit pin `tests/unit/test_table_wrap_stacking.py` (house CSS-source pattern): `position: relative` present + first, `overflow-x: auto` preserved, and the fix scoped to `.table-wrap` only (`.md-table-wrap` / `#git-sources-table-wrap` untouched); docstring carries the measured bug basis (626/618/375 at 375px, 2026-09-07)
+- Live browser verification (375px, throwaway script, deleted after): History scrollWidth 626→375, Tokens 618→375, Sources 375 (unchanged); in-card scroll intact (wraps 688/640 > 344 client); a11y spans still in DOM
+- `uv run pytest tests/unit/test_table_wrap_stacking.py -v` → 3 passed
+- `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → 1720 passed, TOTAL **99%** (>90%)
+- `uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright` → All checks passed / 0 errors
+- `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_smoke.py -v --no-cov` → 3 passed (sanity, app functional)
+- `git diff --stat -- frontend/` → only `frontend/assets/styles.css` (+12: comment + 1 property); no markup/JS changes; no commit made (harness commits)
+- Next pending task: `02_e2e_story_suite.md` (the `tests/e2e/test_history_page_width.py` story suite)

+Task 02 complete. Report:
+
+**Implemented**
+- `tests/e2e/test_history_page_width.py` (new) — 5 isolated Playwright tests: History viewport-width at 375px (THE 626→≤375 pin + in-card scroll + a11y-span presence), Tokens (618 fold-in), SPA switch history→tokens (real `#nav-toggle` click + phase-76 window-sentinel same-document proof), RAG regression (viewport-width + full-width docs table), desktop 1280×800 no-overflow / container-width tables.
+- RAG + desktop tests seed the KB house-way (truncate + 13 fixture docs) — the RAG view hides its table on an empty KB; History/Tokens pins hold empty, as the task assumed.
+
+**Results**
+- `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_history_page_width.py -v --no-cov` → **5 passed** (in isolation, DB up)
+- Red→green verified: with task-01 CSS reverted, `test_history_page_is_viewport_width` fails at the scrollWidth pin (**626px at a 375px viewport** — the exact reported defect); restored → green (recorded in the session above)
+- `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **1720 passed, 99% coverage** (>90%)
+- `uv run ruff check .` → clean; `uv run pyright` → **0 errors**
+
+**Decisions**
+- Reused the phase-76 window-sentinel pattern verbatim for the same-document proof (per the task's ASSUMPTION) instead of a navigation-timeline count.
+- Card-width pin computes container content width minus the card's own 1px borders (clientWidth excludes borders) — a ±1px tolerance caught a first-draft miscalculation.
+
+**Next pending task:** `03_verify_and_commit.md` (full gate + atomic commit).

+Task 03 (full gate) complete — all green. Per my harness rules I did **not** commit or move the phase dir (the task's steps 3–4 are the harness's job on success).
+
+**Gate results (exact commands):**
+- `uv run pytest` → 1720 passed
+- `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → 1720 passed, **99%** coverage (>90% floor held, no `app/` change)
+- `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_history_page_width.py -v --no-cov` → 5 passed (in isolation)
+- `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_chat_history.py -v --no-cov` → 5 passed; `test_api_tokens.py` → 9 passed; `test_smoke.py` → 3 passed
+- `uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright` → All checks passed / 0 errors
+
+**Manual live check (throwaway Playwright script, E2E-style app boot; output kept in this session log):** 375px — `/history.html` scrollWidth **375** (626 pre-fix), `/tokens.html` 375 (618 pre-fix), `/sources.html` 375; dragging right at the edge moved nothing (scrollLeft stayed 0); swiping the card scrolled its columns internally (296px) while the document stayed put. 1280px — all three cards at 1110px container width, 0px internal scroll. **ALL CHECKS PASSED.**
+
+**Scope:** working tree holds exactly `frontend/assets/styles.css` (+12: `position: relative` + root-cause comment), the two new test files, and phase files (01/02 already in `complete/`; `00_phase.md` + `03` still in `todo/` for the harness). No markup/JS/`app/` changes.
+
+**Deviations/flags:**
+- No `git commit` / no `mv` of the phase dir — harness owns both (overrides task steps 3–4).
+- `.agents/remediation_plan.md` (untracked, 2026-09-07 security-audit artifact) is **not** part of this phase — exclude it from the phase-86 commit.
+
+**Next pending:** `87_big_read_progress` (separate phase).

+"""Phase 86 E2E (Playwright): the table pages are viewport-width — the
+owner's "the page is the width of the table" bug, pinned.
+
+Source: ``TODO.md`` L4 (owner bug report, 2026-09-07): "The history page
+appears to be the width of the table despite the table being scrollable.
+On mobile this results in half the page being blank and awkwardly
+scrollable."
+Story: n/a (owner bug report — ``TODO.md`` L4 is the story; no
+``.agents/user_stories/`` file).
+
+Run in isolation (DB must be up: ``podman compose up -d db``):
+
+    uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_history_page_width.py -v --no-cov
+
+The bug (confirmed by live reproduction, 375×812, signed-in admin):
+the History and Tokens tables carry ``position: absolute``
+``.visually-hidden`` elements (the ``<caption>`` + the Actions column
+header span). No ancestor in the chain was positioned, so their 1px
+boxes were laid out against the INITIAL containing block — the Actions
+span at the 640px table's right edge — and leaked into the DOCUMENT's
+scrollable overflow, bypassing the card's own ``overflow-x: auto``
+scrolling. Measured ``documentElement.scrollWidth`` at 375px:
+``/history.html`` **626**, ``/tokens.html`` **618** (the byte-identical
+defect, folded in per owner decision A3), ``/sources.html`` **375**
+(clean — the RAG table's headers are visible text). The fix is ONE CSS
+property (phase 86, task 01): ``position: relative`` on the shared
+``.table-wrap`` card, which becomes the containing block for those
+spans. This suite pins the FIXED contract: the document never pans
+past the viewport, the 640px tables still scroll INSIDE their cards
+(the phase-07 / AGENTS.md-rule-5 full-width contract), the a11y spans
+stay in the DOM, and the RAG view + the desktop layout are unchanged.
+
+Counterfactual (verified red→green in the phase session): with the
+task-01 rule reverted (no ``position: relative`` on ``.table-wrap``),
+``test_history_page_is_viewport_width`` fails at its
+``scrollWidth <= innerWidth`` pin (626 > 375); restored, it is green.
+
+Test → contract mapping (Playwright Mapping Rule):
+
+1. ``test_history_page_is_viewport_width`` — THE TODO.md L4 pin: admin
+   at 375×812, direct ``/history.html`` —
+   ``documentElement.scrollWidth <= innerWidth`` (626 → ≤375), the
+   table still scrolls INSIDE ``#history-table-wrap``
+   (``scrollWidth > clientWidth`` — the 640px ``min-width``), the card
+   is the container's content width (≤ the viewport), and the
+   visually-hidden Actions header + caption survived the fix (the a11y
+   names are intact).
+2. ``test_tokens_page_is_viewport_width`` — the folded-in identical
+   defect (618 pre-fix): the same two pins on direct ``/tokens.html``
+   for ``#tokens-table-wrap``.
+3. ``test_spa_switch_keeps_page_width`` — the invariant survives the
+   router, not just direct loads: at 375px on ``/history.html`` the
+   mobile menu (a REAL ``#nav-toggle`` click — the phase-85 contract)
+   opens, the Tokens link switches the view IN THE SAME DOCUMENT
+   (the phase-76 window-sentinel proof — a real navigation would wipe
+   ``window`` globals), and the Tokens page is still viewport-width
+   with its table still scrolling in-card.
+4. ``test_rag_view_regression`` — ``/sources.html`` at 375px: no
+   overflow (it was already clean at 375 pre-fix — pinned so the
+   shared-rule change cannot regress it) AND the RAG table is still
+   full-width inside its card (in-card scroll — the 640px
+   ``min-width`` still engages).
+5. ``test_desktop_unchanged`` — 1280×800 regression on ALL THREE
+   views: no document overflow at any width, and the tables render at
+   container width (the cards need no internal scroll —
+   ``scrollWidth <= clientWidth + 1``, the card is far wider than the
+   mobile 346px).
+
+House conventions: a fresh 375×812 page per mobile test via the
+session ``browser`` fixture (the conftest ``page`` is 1280×800),
+``e2e.auth_helpers.login`` for the real form login, ``_wait_settled_admin``
+copied from ``test_mobile_hamburger_nav.py`` (suites stay
+self-contained — helpers copied, only ``auth_helpers`` imported).
+Data: the History/Tokens contract holds with EMPTY tables (static
+thead + the 640px ``min-width`` — no rows needed, and the suite never
+depends on saved chats or issued tokens). The RAG view, by contrast,
+HIDES its table and shows the "Nothing indexed yet" empty state on an
+empty KB, so tests 4 and 5 seed the KB the house way (truncate +
+import the 13 fixture docs, deterministic mock embeddings) and pin
+nothing about the rows themselves — only that the table is up and
+full-width.

+"""Unit: the .table-wrap containing-block contract (phase 86, task 01).
+
+TODO.md L4 (owner bug report, 2026-09-07): "The history page appears to
+be the width of the table despite the table being scrollable. On mobile
+this results in half the page being blank and awkwardly scrollable."
+
+Bug basis (confirmed by live reproduction, 2026-09-07 — headless
+Chromium, 375×812, signed-in admin): the History and Tokens tables
+carry ``class="visually-hidden"`` on their ``<caption>`` and their
+Actions column header — a ``position: absolute`` 1px clipped box. No
+ancestor in the chain (th → table → .table-wrap → the view shell →
+#main → body) was positioned, so the span's containing block was the
+INITIAL containing block: its 1px box sat at the 640px table's right
+edge and contributed to the DOCUMENT's scrollable overflow, bypassing
+the card's own scroll clipping. Measured ``documentElement.scrollWidth``
+at a 375px viewport: /history.html **626** (the page panned ~250px
+into a blank region — the owner's "half the page being blank"),
+/tokens.html **618** (the byte-identical defect, folded in per the
+owner-confirmed A3 scope), /sources.html **375** (the RAG view is
+clean — its table headers are visible text, no positioned hidden
+spans). Hiding the span, OR making the card ``position: relative``,
+both bring the scrollWidth back to 375.
+
+The fix is ONE CSS property (owner decision A3): ``position: relative``
+on the shared ``.table-wrap`` card — it becomes the containing block
+for the ``.visually-hidden`` elements it hosts, so History AND Tokens
+are fixed by the same rule with no markup change (the accessible
+column name / caption stay) and no JS change. Zero-offset positioning
+changes no layout: the spans stay clipped by their own
+``clip: rect(0 0 0 0)`` + 1px box, and cards without such spans (the
+RAG ``.docs-table``, the git-sources table) render unchanged.
+
+This module pins the source-level contract (the house pattern of
+``tests/unit/test_hamburger_nav.py``: read ``styles.css`` as text, no
+browser) so the regression that omitted the containing block cannot
+return.
