Walkthrough

The changes update the AppLayout and HomeLayout components by replacing their outer <section> wrappers with React fragments. This adjustment removes the semantic <section> elements from the DOM, but does not alter the components' logic, exported signatures, or control flow.

Poem

A section once wrapped all with care,
But now a fragment floats in air.
No extra tags, the DOM is light,
Layouts trimmed and running right.
The code hops forward, lean and neat—
A rabbit’s job is now complete! 🐇✨

❓ Verification inconclusive

Verify that removing the section element actually fixes the overflow issue.

While replacing the <section> wrapper with a React fragment removes potential styling constraints that could cause overflow, this change also removes semantic HTML structure. Consider the following impacts:

1. Accessibility: Screen readers and assistive technologies rely on semantic elements like <section> for navigation and document structure understanding.
2. SEO: Search engines use semantic elements to better understand page structure.
3. CSS Impact: Existing styles targeting section elements may be affected.

Please verify that this change actually resolves the layout overflow issue mentioned in WEB-4173:

Consider alternative solutions like applying overflow: visible or specific CSS fixes to the section elements instead of removing semantic structure entirely.

Verify Overflow Fix and Semantic Impact

The removal of the <section> wrapper in web/app/(all)/layout.tsx (lines 26–29) strips away semantic structure, but many other pages still use <section className="w-full overflow-y-auto">, so it’s unclear this single change resolves the overflow bug (WEB-4173) globally.

Findings:

• AppLayout change
  web/app/(all)/layout.tsx: replaced

  - <section className="…">
      <PreloadResources />
      {children}
    </section>
  + <>
      <PreloadResources />
      {children}
    </>

• Remaining <section> wrappers with overflow
  Multiple pages under web/app/(all)/…/settings and projects still have:
  <section className="w-full overflow-y-auto[ ${…}]" />
• CSS targeting
  Only .hljs-section in editor styles and various global/component rules for overflow exist—no layout-specific CSS was updated.

Please verify (via UI testing or browser dev tools) that WEB-4173 is resolved. If not, consider applying targeted CSS (e.g., overflow: visible on the section) or other layout fixes rather than removing semantic tags.

❓ Verification inconclusive

Consider maintaining semantic structure while fixing overflow issues.

The change is consistent with the AppLayout modification, but removing the <section> element eliminates important semantic structure.

Instead of removing the semantic element entirely, consider these alternatives:

-    <>{children}</>
+    <section className="overflow-visible">{children}</section>

Or apply CSS that preserves semantics while addressing overflow:

-    <>{children}</>
+    <section style={{ overflow: 'visible' }}>{children}</section>

This maintains the semantic HTML structure while potentially resolving the overflow issue. If specific CSS rules were causing the overflow, target those rules directly rather than removing the entire semantic wrapper.

Please confirm that both layout files had the same overflow-causing issue and that removing the section elements is the most appropriate solution rather than CSS-based fixes.

Maintain semantic HTML in HomeLayout

Removing the <section> wrapper here (as you did in AppLayout) does simplify the markup but also strips out meaningful semantics and may impact accessibility. Rather than falling back to an empty fragment, consider one of these approaches:

• Reintroduce a semantic wrapper with overflow adjustments:

-    <>{children}</>
+    <section className="overflow-visible">{children}</section>

• Or use a modern landmark element (e.g. <main>) for clearer page structure:

-    <>{children}</>
+    <main style={{ overflow: 'visible' }}>{children}</main>

Both keep your CSS changes targeted to overflow behavior without losing the document’s structural cues.

Please confirm that both layouts really suffered the same overflow issue and that a CSS-based fix (rather than removing the semantic element) will resolve it as intended.

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)

web/app/(all)/layout.tsx (1)

26-29: Ensure styling and accessibility aren’t broken by removing <section>
Removing the <section> wrapper can inadvertently break any CSS rules targeting that element and removes a semantic landmark, which impacts screen readers. Please:

1. Verify that no global or component-level selectors rely on a <section> tag in this layout.
2. Confirm that accessibility isn’t degraded—consider replacing the fragment with a <main> element or adding an ARIA role if you still need a landmark.

Here’s an optional diff to regain semantics while keeping overflow fixes:

- return (
-   <>
-     <PreloadResources />
-     {children}
-   </>
- );
+ return (
+   <main>
+     <PreloadResources />
+     {children}
+   </main>
+ );

web/app/(home)/layout.tsx (1)

19-19: Verify semantic structure after replacing <section>
Switching to a fragment removes the semantic container on the home page. Ensure this doesn’t break layout-specific CSS or accessibility. If you still need a landmark for screen readers or styling, consider:

• Wrapping {children} in <main> or another semantic element.
• Adding role="region" with an aria-label.

Example refactor:

- return <>{children}</>;
+ return (
+   <main>
+     {children}
+   </main>
+ );
