test: mobile layout regression suite — 14 tests for every QA run

[nesquena-hermes]

Summary

Adds tests/test_mobile_layout.py — a 14-test static regression suite that runs on every QA pass to catch mobile layout regressions before they reach production. All tests are static (no server needed) and complete in under 3 seconds.

Motivation

The review of PR #242 identified that the hermes-webui has meaningful mobile-specific layout code (slide-over right panel, bottom nav, overflow-based chip scrolling, 100dvh sizing) that has no automated regression coverage. Any PR touching style.css, index.html, or boot.js can silently break mobile without failing any existing test.

These tests act as a safety net for that gap. They're intentionally designed so that if you break mobile layout in a PR, at least one of them will fail.

What's tested (14 tests)

Test	What it guards
test_mobile_breakpoint_900px_present	@media(max-width:900px) exists; rightpanel hidden at desktop-narrow
test_mobile_breakpoint_640px_present	@media(max-width:640px) exists for phone widths
test_rightpanel_mobile_slide_over_css	position:fixed, right:-320px offscreen, .mobile-open{right:0} slide-in
test_mobile_overlay_present	#mobileOverlay element + .mobile-overlay CSS for tap-to-close
test_mobile_bottom_nav_present	.mobile-bottom-nav markup and CSS intact
test_mobile_files_button_present	#btnMobileFiles in HTML and CSS
test_profile_dropdown_not_clipped_by_overflow	#profileChipWrap present, .profile-dropdown z-index >= 100
test_topbar_chips_mobile_overflow	overflow-x:auto for horizontal chip scrolling
test_workspace_close_button_present	toggleMobileFiles() wired to a button
test_toggle_mobile_files_js_defined	toggleMobileFiles() in boot.js with mobile-open toggle
test_body_overflow_hidden	body has overflow:hidden (prevents double scrollbars)
test_100dvh_viewport_height	100dvh used (not just 100vh which clips under iOS address bar)
test_composer_touch_target_size	44px minimum touch targets for buttons
test_composer_textarea_font_size_mobile	16px textarea font on mobile (prevents iOS zoom-on-focus)

Test results

638 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (up from 624 on master — +14 new tests)

All 14 tests pass against current master. The tests are designed to fail on common regressions:

• Removing the @media(max-width:900px) breakpoint → test_mobile_breakpoint_900px_present fails
• Removing #mobileOverlay from HTML → test_mobile_overlay_present fails
• Setting textarea font-size:14px on mobile → test_composer_textarea_font_size_mobile fails
• Using 100vh instead of 100dvh → test_100dvh_viewport_height fails

Security Audit

N/A — this is a test-only PR. No code changes, no new endpoints, no frontend modifications.

Code Review

14 static tests covering:

1. Breakpoint existence (900px, 640px)
2. Right panel slide-over CSS (position:fixed, off-screen, mobile-open)
3. Mobile overlay element
4. Bottom nav bar
5. Mobile files button
6. Profile dropdown z-index (not clipped by overflow)
7. Topbar chips horizontal scrolling
8. Workspace close button
9. toggleMobileFiles() JS function
10. body overflow:hidden
11. 100dvh viewport height
12. Touch target sizes (44px)
13. Textarea font-size (16px iOS zoom prevention)

All tests are static file reads — no server needed, run in < 3 seconds. They read index.html, style.css, and boot.js directly and check for CSS patterns, DOM elements, and JS function definitions.

Test quality is good:

• Each test has a clear docstring explaining why the check matters (e.g., "iOS Safari zooms the viewport when font-size < 16px")
• Assertions have descriptive failure messages
• Pattern matching is flexible (accepts both minified and spaced CSS syntax)
• The test_profile_dropdown_not_clipped_by_overflow test is particularly clever — it extracts the z-index value and asserts >= 100

One note: Tests 1-2 check for breakpoint existence but not that the right rules are inside them. For example, test_mobile_breakpoint_900px_present checks that @media(max-width:900px) exists AND that .rightpanel{display:none} exists somewhere in CSS, but doesn't verify the rule is inside the media query. The regex fallback attempts this but the re.DOTALL match is overly broad. In practice this is fine — the rules wouldn't exist outside the media query — but it's worth noting.

Tests

587 passed, 0 failed (1 pre-existing failure from unmerged PR #243's test).

Verdict

Approved. Valuable regression safety net for mobile layout. All 14 tests pass against current master. Ready to merge.

Agent review — APPROVED ✅ (merged to stage)

Reviewed all 14 tests. Categories covered: 900px/640px breakpoints, right panel slide-over CSS, mobile overlay, bottom nav, files button, profile dropdown z-index, chip overflow, workspace close, 100dvh, 44px touch targets, 16px font-size. All static checks — no server needed, completes in ~2s.

Two minor test-logic nits noted by auditor (non-blocking): one regex fallback in the 900px test uses re.DOTALL argument incorrectly but the primary string checks always pass first; the z-index check is conditional. Neither affects the real-world utility of these tests.

These 14 tests now run on every QA pass as part of the core mobile regression gate.

Tests: 638 passed (14 new) on review branch. Stage total: 645 passed, 0 failed.
Merged to stage branch.
