Kpa-clawbot 77d1925f30 Route view v2 — Tufte redesign (packet context, multi-path picker, mobile bottom-sheet, CB-preset live colors) (#1423)
# Route view v2 redesign

Fixes #1418, Fixes #1419, Fixes #1422

This is the route-view redesign that came out of a long iterative QA
cycle. The first commit (`a3c39636`) landed the v1 sidebar timeline +
multi-path baseline; this PR's second commit (`0e2e913f`) is the v2
polish covering packet context, multi-path picker, mobile bottom-sheet,
CB-preset live colors, and dozens of operator-driven UX fixes.

## The journey, in one line

> "The data is a sequence. Geography is annotation. The packet is the
cargo, the route is the road — show both."

## New surfaces

### 1. Packet context block (sidebar header)
Above the multi-path chip, a per-type fact list explaining **what** is
traveling. Operator was tired of "the route view shows the road but not
the cargo."

| Type | Chip | Facts |

|-------------|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| ADVERT | 📡 ADVERT | name · role · sig ✓ · self-reported GPS · pubkey
prefix |
| TXT_MSG | ✉ DM | src → dst · 🔒 encrypted |
| REQ/RESPONSE| 🔒/🔓 REQUEST/…| src → dst · 🔒 encrypted |
| GRP_TXT | # CHANNEL MSG | #channel · 🔓 decrypted · "…content preview…"
· sender |
| TRACE | ⌖ TRACE | Official: N hops · Observed: M |
| PATH | 🔀 PATH | src → dst (with "from payload" chip on SRC/DST rows) |

Sources merge `pkt.decoded_json` + `obs.decoded_json` (channel data
often lives at packet level) and fall back to byte-level `raw_hex`
parsing for encrypted DMs and unkeyed channel msgs.

### 2. Multi-path picker
The header lists every unique observer-path with `<count>/<total>` chip
+ hex hop string. Click a path → full-clear and redraw that path only
(Tufte v6's "replace + retain subpath weights"). "All" →
edge-deduplicated UNION view (each unique edge drawn once, stroke =
observer count, single accent color, no seq numbers because there's no
single ordering).

### 3. Deep-link URLs
`#/map?packet=<hash>&obs=<id>` — bookmarkable, shareable, the single
source of truth. sessionStorage flow removed. "Back to packet" preserves
the obs id.

### 4. Hop resolution
Priority: server `resolved_path` → shared `window.HopResolver` (same
resolver as packets page, observer-IATA-aware) → raw prefix. Eliminates
a whole class of "route view named hops differently than packet detail"
bugs.

### 5. Markers (v5/v6/v7)
- All markers same 22 px filled circle, seq number rendered **inside**
- SRC + DST get a 2 px hollow endpoint ring
- SRC = DST loop → **double concentric ring** (ring grammar extended, no
new glyph)
- Spider-fan within 14 px collisions (16 px arc, dashed hairline),
re-runs on `zoomend` only, debounced

### 6. CB preset live colors
- Each preset gets a `routeRamp` (5 stops): default/trit = viridis,
deut/prot = plasma, achromat = pure luminance
- `cb-presets.js` writes `--mc-rt-ramp-0..4` CSS vars; route reads them
via `getComputedStyle`
- `cb-preset-changed` + `theme-changed` listeners hot-recolor without
re-render

### 7. Desktop chrome
- **Resize handle** on right edge of sidebar (drag, persisted to
`localStorage["mc-rt-sidebar-width"]`)
- **Collapse button** = round chevron **centered on the right edge**
(Material/Drive style — not in the top-right corner, doesn't collide
with the close X)
- Collapsed = 36 px strip with rotated "ROUTE" label, expand on click

### 8. Mobile (bottom sheet)
- Anchored above bottom-nav (`bottom: 56px + safe-area-inset`)
- Collapsed = thin summary line `TYPE · N hops · X km · M obs` + hex
preview, tap chevron to expand to ~75 vh
- Drag-grip removed (conflicted with browser pull-to-refresh +
CoreScope's own pull-to-reconnect)
- Desktop collapse / resize affordances hidden on mobile (sheet is the
mobile collapse affordance)
- Map controls toggle floats top-right, panel collapses on route entry,
reachable via toggle click
- All three mobile detail panels (`pktRight`, `.slide-over-panel`,
`#mobileDetailSheet`) explicitly closed when entering route view

### 9. Map fit / centering
- Manual layer-children walk because `L.LayerGroup.getBounds()` doesn't
aggregate (only `FeatureGroup` does)
- Mobile padding: `paddingTopLeft: [30, 70]`, `paddingBottomRight: [30,
190]` to clear top-nav + sheet+nav stack
- Re-fits on: initial render, isolate, All, `window.resize` (iOS URL-bar
collapse)
- Staggered timers 0/200/600/1400 ms (and 2800 ms on initial render) to
survive layout settles

### 10. Hop drill-in refinements
- SNR sparkline suppresses connecting polyline when n < 3 (two points
implies a trend across time it can't represent — dots only)
- "Node details" link properly chip-styled with aria-label including
node name + route count

## Edge weight scales

| View                            | Range          |
|---------------------------------|----------------|
| Single-path                     | 5 px flat      |
| Multi-path interior             | 3..9           |
| Origin→hop1 / last-hop→dest     | proxy via max adjacent edge count |
| Union overlay                   | 2..8           |

Boundary edges (SRC→first hop, last hop→DST) used to render thin because
`edgeCounts` only tracks `path_json` transitions. Now they take the
strongest adjacent edge count as proxy (every observer who saw the
packet implicitly transited that boundary edge).

## Files

- **NEW** `public/route-tufte.js` (~1700 lines) — the route renderer +
sidebar
- **NEW** `public/route-tufte.css` (~750 lines) — all styling
- **MOD** `public/map.js` — async draw functions, deep-link loader,
`__mc_nodes` exposure, raw_hex extraction
- **MOD** `public/packets.js` — View Route → deep-link URL only, closes
all mobile panels
- **MOD** `public/cb-presets.js` — `routeRamp` per preset + CSS var
write
- **MOD** `public/index.html` — script + stylesheet tags

## Testing

Manually CDP-validated across desktop and mobile-emulator viewports for
every major change. Fixtures cover:
- ADVERT (4 hops, single-obs)
- DM (TXT_MSG, raw_hex parse)
- GRP_TXT (#test channel, decrypted text)
- PATH (operator's bug case)
- TRACE (3-hop)
- 1-hop edge case
- Multi-path (75-observer 4-hop with 47 unique paths)
- 32-hop stress
- Loop (SRC = DST)
- Bay Area dense cluster (spider-fan)

Per AGENTS.md net-new-UI exemption, no failing-test-first; existing
tests stay green. **TODO**: Playwright E2E follow-up PR.

## What's deferred to v2.1 / follow-ups

- **Glyph overlay on SRC marker** for packet type (e.g. 📡 corner glyph
on ADVERT marker, ⌖ on TRACE)
- **Per-hop SNR sparkline for TRACE packets** (their payload contains
real per-hop SNR contributions, distinct from observer-derived SNR)
- **GRP_TXT full content preview** (currently truncated at 80 chars;
could expand inline)
- **Playwright E2E test** covering the deep-link → isolate → All flow

## Screenshots

(would be useful here — CDP screenshots captured during dev show:
desktop with sidebar + multi-path picker, mobile with bottom sheet +
overlay toggle, isolated-path view, union view, spider-fan on Bay Area
cluster, packet context for each of the 5 main types)

## Operator's frustration patterns (lessons for next time)

1. **Browser-validate every UI change, not just compute state** —
CDP-screenshot before claiming a UI fix is done. Verifying
`display:none` resolves correctly is necessary but not sufficient; the
visual layout matters.
2. **Edge-deduplicated drawing beats per-path overlays** for union views
(Tufte v6) — operator's instinct was correct from the start.
3. **Material/Drive UI conventions exist** because they work — center
collapse handles on borders, don't pile them in corners.
4. **Mobile = different problem than desktop** — bottom-sheet, no
drag-grip near pull-to-refresh zone, asymmetric fitBounds padding,
redundant refits to survive iOS URL-bar collapse.
