Conversation

🤖 Check Failure Analysis The only failing check is Error: Details: 38 out of 51 checklist items are checked, with 13 remaining unchecked items. All code-related checks (ESLint, TypeScript, tests, builds, Prettier, etc.) are passing. Resolution: The PR author needs to review and check the remaining unchecked boxes in the PR description. Some of the unchecked items include:
If any of these items are not applicable, they should still be checked with a note indicating N/A. This is not something I can fix with a code change — the PR description checkboxes need to be manually updated. |

@MelvinBot can you also try making the left hand navigation pane on the Reports page skinnier? Currently it is 320px, but let's see what it looks like at 260px. Only do this for the Reports page, not the Workspace editor. You will also have to adjust the left margin of the wrapper that wraps the Reports page content (the pane to the right of the left hand navigation) to account for the 60px difference. |
|
@MelvinBot When the rows in the To-do section have badges, they now feel a little big. Can you also adjust these badges to use our "condensed" style? We should have a flag you can use to pass through condensed styles which makes the badges 20px tall. These styles should already exist. |
Add a new searchSidebarWidth variable (260px) separate from the general sideBarWithLHBWidth (320px) so the Reports page LHN is narrower without affecting the Workspace editor sidebar. Updates searchSidebar, searchSplitContainer, and SearchRowSkeleton to use the new width. Co-authored-by: Shawn Borton <shawnborton@users.noreply.github.com>

The only failing check is the checklist CI check, which reports that 13 out of 51 checklist items are unchecked in the PR description. This is not a code issue — all code-related checks (ESLint, TypeScript, prettier, builds, storybook) are passing. The unchecked items fall into two categories:
To fix: Check the boxes for the conditional items that don't apply to this PR (no new files, no new assets, no markdown changes, no generic component changes, no Storybook stories affected, no deeplink pages, no new pages, no unit tests needed for a CSS change). The manual test verification boxes should be checked once you've actually performed the testing. |

The whole left hand nav sidebar on the Reports page is still not 260px. I think you updated the value for the skeleton loader, but not the value for the actual left hand pane when it loads with data. Can you take another look @MelvinBot? |

@MelvinBot any updates here? This is taking longer than expected. Thanks! |

@MelvinBot the badge still appears to be 36px wide... can you double check and push a fix? Or explain why the adhoc build isn't updating? |
The defaultBadge style sets paddingHorizontal: 12 which was not being properly overridden by paddingLeft/paddingRight: 0. Using paddingHorizontal: 0 directly overrides the inherited padding, allowing the width: 24 to take effect correctly. Co-authored-by: Shawn Borton <shawnborton@users.noreply.github.com>

Hmm it's still not working, the old 36px width is still there. |

cc @MelvinBot see above ^^ |
The todoBadge style override wasn't taking effect on web because paddingHorizontal: 0 may not properly override the defaultBadge's paddingHorizontal: 12 in style arrays on React Native Web. Use a more robust override approach: - minWidth/maxWidth/width all set to 24 to force exact width - padding: 0 (shorthand) to override all padding properties - overflow: hidden to clip any content exceeding bounds Co-authored-by: Shawn Borton <shawnborton@users.noreply.github.com>

The only failing check is the PR Author Checklist ( All code-related checks are passing:
To fix the checklist failure, the unchecked items in the PR description need to be reviewed. For items that don't apply (e.g., "If new assets were added...", "If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages..."), they should still be checked off to indicate they were considered, or the non-applicable sections can be removed. This is not something I can fix with a code push — the PR author needs to update the checklist in the PR description. |

☝️ Honestly pretty good for a robot 😂 I've lost the counters completely, but this is still pretty sweet haha! |
|
Yeah don't mind it either. Still think I prefer label over body. Body in that small of a container just feels a bit too cramped to me. |
|
I actually don't mind the body sized text in these rows, especially as I think it connects back to the table rows/rest of the UI a bit better than if we had all label sized text in that column. Badges also got borked for me. Anyways, I'm going to close this out as it was mostly just to experiment with vibe coding with Melvin. Let's continue the discussion about condensed rows in Slack though. |
