fix(web): keep floating previews stable after resizing - #25029
Portrait floating previews stop at 240 pixels wide. Starting a drag after resizing changes placement policy, reopening details and moving the preview away from the pointer.
Change
Use the existing 150-pixel minimum height and source aspect ratio for sizing. Derive placement from explicit size and position so dragging preserves the chosen frame and folds details; compact chat stays an overlay and wide chat still reflows. Production changes stay in two layout files; the store and gesture controller remain intact.
Verification
Blacksmith vp run check:changed passed on the current head, which merges main and keeps #26027's inward-resize minimum (now height-based only). In the real web client with a live 390×844 browser stream, a 140-pixel resize gives 140×303 instead of 240×519, and after resizing to 340×736 a 12-pixel left drag moves 12 pixels instead of jumping 292 pixels; details stay folded. Unverified: Electron compositing, native mobile, and relay/tunnel paths. The browser control footer can overflow very narrow thumbnails; that layout is outside this fix.
Before: the portrait preview remains 240 pixels wide.
After: the same preview shrinks to 140 pixels wide.
Preview frames can be narrower while retaining a minimum height. Canvas layout now uses preview size and position to determine chat reflow, preview placement, and details-card overlap.
The minimum preview width is based on the width needed to retain the minimum height at the source aspect ratio. Tests cover default sizing and resizing for portrait and landscape sources.
Canvas layout and preview interactions apps/web/src/components/chat/chatCanvasLayout.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/chatCanvasLayout.test.ts, apps/web/src/previewMiniPlayerStore.test.ts
Chat reflow depends on available width and explicit preview sizing. Preview position determines layout obstacles. Tests cover chat overlap, details-card behavior, preview placement, and movement.
pingdotgg/t3code#26015: The issue concerns preview growth after an inward resize. This PR changes the minimum width behavior, but the reported 118 px case is not confirmed as fixed.
pingdotgg/t3code#22988: The issue concerns preview position after corner resizing. This PR changes preview sizing and placement, but the reported interrupted-gesture cause is not confirmed as fixed.

The sizing and drag changes appear mergeable with awareness that a tall preview can still overlap part of the composer when the find bar is open.

Autofix · Keep fixing CodeRabbit findings and required CI, and resolving merge conflicts
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The layout changes keep resized previews stable and limit chat reflow. Removing the minimum-width floor also changes the initial size of portrait previews, which requires human confirmation of the intended default.

Merged main (becf853defb6) into this head without rebasing. Resolved the adjacent test conflict by retaining main's chat-centering cases and this PR's find-bar cases. The scoped diff remains five files, 216 insertions and 34 deletions.
Blacksmith vp run check:changed passed format, lint, both knip passes, affected typechecks and all 54 focused tests. Two independent scoped reviews approved 345f1ff63036 with no findings.
Scope and approval: this is Maria's requested takeover of https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/24950. The floating-preview sizing and placement fix remains unchanged. Macroscope's requested human review remains Maria's decision. Existing before/after evidence stays in the PR body. Post-merge browser interaction is unverified: the client opened, but its browser surface remained connecting during this attempt.
verified as-is at 345f1ff63036168d7c3159e8f24e94789ec3a0d9 on a disposable linux boat vm. no source changes or pushes were needed.
reproduced both bugs on github/main at c677d5fc45e6d585e52bca03244a0870c588a555 in a separate worktree, then stopped its captured dev process before starting this exact pr head. ran vp i in both checkouts and vp run dev in the background with isolated, unseeded state.
used the repo's playwright with /usr/bin/google-chrome. created the project and thread through the web app against a real git repository. real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns completed on both branches. a follow-up turn on the pr called preview_status and reported the actual browser tab, https://example.com/, at 390×844.
opened that live server-browser stream through the browser panel, entered portrait dimensions, floated it over chat, and used actual mouse resize/drag gestures. matched full-window captures use the same project, prompt, response, page, viewport, and 1840×1000 client size.
main: request 140px width -> 240×519
pr: request 140px width -> 140×303
main: resize to 340×736, drag left 12px -> x 1488 -> 1196 (-292)
pr: resize to 340×736, drag left 12px -> x 1488 -> 1476 (-12)
pr: details density stays compact across drag; moving away restores full
pr: at 1000×900, resize 340 -> 260; composer stays {x:317,y:779,w:622,h:48}
neighboring behavior: wide chat reflow remained usable; compact chat stayed an overlay without moving the composer. docking back into the panel retained the url, and closing removed the floating player, exercised with keyboard activation. also inspected the compact client in dark mode.
blacksmith vp run check:changed passed format, lint, both knip passes, affected typechecks, and all 54 focused tests. the worker needed its shallow history deepened and origin/main set to the recorded pr base, becf853defb6, before that check could run. cafe reports all 30 head checks successful.
before: main remains 240 pixels wide.
same request on the pr produces 140 pixels.
inspected the captures and recordings. uploaded mp4 versions also played through and sought successfully in t3's browser player.
Not verified
native ios/android device streams, electron compositing, macos/windows, and relay/tunnel/multi-environment connections were not exercised on this linux vm. other provider adapters were not exercised; this change is client layout logic.
mouse activation of the hover-only docking/close pill is unverified: this headless chrome reports hover: none and pointer: none, so mouse clicks on its hidden controls timed out. keyboard activation passed; mouse resizing and dragging passed.
the existing browser control footer still overflows the 140-pixel thumbnail, as already documented in the pr. this verification does not claim that footer layout is fixed. no provider turn or app stall exceeded ten minutes.

- Line 152: In the chat canvas layout flow, check whether the preview overlaps
the composer after find-bar clamping and final frame placement, then fit the
preview if it does; use the existing overlap and fitting logic rather than
relying only on the earlier lift calculation.
