Problem

Portrait simulator previews could not shrink below 240 pixels wide, making them too tall to fit beneath thread details. After resizing folded the details card, starting a drag switched layout policies, reopened the card, and pushed the preview away from the pointer.

Change

Derive minimum width from the existing 150-pixel minimum height and the source aspect ratio. Portrait previews can shrink further while wide previews retain their minimum height. Keep explicit sizing independent of the last gesture, and let manually placed previews fold the details card through its existing compact/essential layouts. Moving away expands the card again; automatic placement still avoids it. Compact windows and details-constrained chat keep the preview as an overlay without moving or wrapping the conversation. Wide windows retain chat reflow.

Scope and approval

Focused correction to existing floating preview sizing and placement, requested with a reproduction recording. Shared by web and desktop browser/device previews. No native mobile, provider, protocol, or transport changes. Independent of #22999, which handles interrupted gestures and pointer capture.

Verification

  • vp run check:changed passed: format, lint, knip, affected typechecks, and 51 focused tests. Regression tests first reproduced minimum sizing, resize-to-drag placement resets, compact text reflow, and wide-preview minimum-height failures.
  • Actual web client with isolated showcase data and native Playwright mouse input. Matched before/after captures compare d0b9e9d3c7 with 2f77cf9862 in light theme at DPR 1.
  • At 1440×800, the same shrink-and-drag sequence leaves the original preview at 240×519 with compact details. The fix reaches 140×303 and fits below the full card.
  • At 1840×1000, a 12-pixel left drag originally moved the preview 55 pixels downward and reopened details. The fix preserves the vertical position and compact card; moving away restores full details.
  • Native responsive audit covered nine viewport widths from 900 to 1840 pixels. All seven compact chat canvases (644–1100 pixels, including constrained details layouts) kept identical paragraph position and width through resize and drag. The two wide cases still reflowed, matching main.
  • Also verified dragging an unresized landscape preview over details and away again. Focused tests cover portrait/landscape tablets, the existing 16:10, 16:9, and 21:9 minimum heights, composer/find-bar clearance, and preferred-width restoration.

Captures use a deterministic static demo frame inside the real preview shell. They verify layout and native mouse interaction; device streaming and Electron-specific compositing were not exercised. T3 Browser capture timed out, so the requested fallback browser was used. Capture details.

This pair compares the original PR head (9ec7f9772f) with 2f77cf9862 at 1296×1000. The paragraph originally narrowed from 660 to 632 pixels during resize and drag. It now remains at x=308, width 660 throughout. Main restores the small-window overlay after dragging, but its resize path can briefly reflow; the correction keeps compact chat fixed through both gestures.

Preview state and reporting no longer include interaction history. Preview width and position now inform mini-player sizing and chat-canvas placement, including details-card overlap behavior.

Do not cap the height-derived minimum for wide previews.

resizePreviewMiniPlayer is reachable from the preview resize handles. For a 16:9 source, the current lower bound selects 240px width and returns 135px height. Wider device previews can become even shorter. This violates the configured 150px minimum height.

Suggested fix
diff
1- Math.min(
2- PREVIEW_MINI_PLAYER_MIN_SIZE.width,
3- PREVIEW_MINI_PLAYER_MIN_SIZE.height * aspectRatio,
4- ),
5+ PREVIEW_MINI_PLAYER_MIN_SIZE.height * aspectRatio,

This preserves the existing portrait and 4:3 shrink behavior while keeping wide previews at least 150px high.
