Summary

• The pod board's columns now scroll inside the pane, and the page stays at scroll 0 (TASK-698, slice 1 of TASK-687).
• Root cause: .v2-feature__body is the scroller, and its legacy wrapper had auto height, so the board's height: 100% and the column max-height: 100% resolved to nothing and the page grew to about 77,000px.
• Fix is scoped to .v2-feature--board: the body and wrapper become flex columns, and the wrapper gets width: 100% with the auto margin kept, so the board fills a phone and stays centred on desktop.

Measurement (ux-lead, build of dba819e, 701-row board)

• 1440: page 0.97×, columns 571px tall, each scrolls on its own.
• 390: page 0.93×, columns 548px tall, the board fits the viewport width.

Tests

• frontend/src/v2/__tests__/v2-layout-invariants.test.ts pins the scroll chain.
• Board and layout suites: 297/297.

Walkthrough

The V2 board now uses dedicated priority and status color tokens, adds classes for blocked columns and cards, and bounds board and focus-panel scrolling.

Changes: V2 board presentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Priority and status styling frontend/src/v2/v2.css, frontend/src/v2/components/V2PodBoard.tsx, frontend/src/v2/__tests__/v2-layout-invariants.test.ts	The board uses dedicated light- and dark-theme tokens for priorities and ownership statuses. Blocked columns and cards receive state classes. Tests check the token-based styling.
Board column scrolling frontend/src/v2/v2.css, frontend/src/v2/__tests__/v2-layout-invariants.test.ts	The board route uses a bounded flex layout. Columns scroll vertically, and the focus panel has bounded height and vertical scrolling. Tests check these layout rules.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Some Safari keyboard users may be unable to read a long focus list. The board is otherwise mergeable with this bounded accessibility issue tracked for correction.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: board columns now scroll inside their pane rather than the page. It also cites the ticket TASK-698. The changeset adds flex layout and scroll constraints on the board feature body, wrapper, and columns, plus a bounded focus panel, so the title matches the primary fix.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is related to the changeset. It explains the root cause (the auto-height legacy wrapper stopping the board's height and column max-height from resolving), states the scoped fix to .v2-feature--board, gives measurements, and lists the layout invariant test file. It matches the summarized changes to the CSS and the test file.

UX-GATE: PASS @ dba819e — the board columns scroll inside the pane, and the page no longer grows with the task count.

Built at dba819e (REACT_APP_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8808 npx vite build, index-BLhVzVIJ.css). Fixture: the real 701-row board for this pod (470 done, 158 pending, 56 blocked, 17 claimed), injected through a route on /api/v1/tasks/**. The control is main's build (index-DzNiI4MO.css) with the same rows.

This branch stacks on #3074 (12f608b, which I gated separately). Its delta over #3074 is the three .v2-feature--board rules in v2.css plus their invariant test.

	main	dba819e
1440×900: .v2-feature__body scroll/viewport	76,983 / 900 = 85.54×	870 / 900 = 0.97×
390×844	82,644 / 844 = 97.92×	788 / 844 = 0.93×
column client height (1440 / 390)	26,774 / 28,670, so it never scrolls	571 / 548, scrolls on its own
column scrollTop 2000 → body scrollTop	0	0 (the column moved and the page did not)
board left+width at 1440	135+1240	135+1240
board left+width at 390	0+390	0+390
column 1 at 1440 / 390	155+290 / 14+282	155+290 / 14+282
columns strip at 390 (client/scroll)	390/1199	390/1199
document scrollWidth	= viewport	= viewport

Short viewports: columns are 231 tall at 1440×560 and 264 at 390×560, and the board head stays above them. The task detail modal opens at the same box on both builds: 440,72 560×804 at 1440, and 0,44 390×800 (absolute) at 390.

The c81386f head ran off a 390 phone: the board was 1240 wide in a 390 body. width: 100% on the legacy wrapper fixes it while keeping the 1240 cap and the centring at 1440. .v2-board needs no width rule of its own.

Non-blocking, for me rather than this PR: the METRICS counter in the #3059 measure script picks the longest scroller, which is now the Done column (~85×). I'll point it at .v2-feature__body once #3059 lands.

Add a rendered-board test for blocked-card classes.

The CSS assertion does not detect whether V2PodBoard assigns v2-board__card--blocked only to blocked cards. Add a rendered-board test with one blocked task and one non-blocked task. Assert that only the blocked card has the class.

Make the focus section keyboard-scrollable.

8581-8581: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Make the focus section keyboard-scrollable.

When a viewer cannot edit and the focus has no available task links, the section has no focusable descendants. Safari users may then be unable to enter the scroll container with the keyboard. This is a narrow accessibility failure, not a major board workflow outage.

Add tabIndex={0}, a visible focus indicator, and a test for the non-editable case.

Suggested fix

-      <section className="v2-board__focus" aria-labelledby="v2-board-focus-title">
+      <section className="v2-board__focus" tabIndex={0} aria-labelledby="v2-board-focus-title">

 .v2-board__focus {
   margin: 16px 20px 0;
   padding: 16px 18px;
   border: 1px solid var(--v2-border);
@@
   max-height: min(35vh, 260px);
   overflow-y: auto;
 }

UX-GATE: PASS @ 5786313

This re-gates the CodeRabbit fix. My earlier PASS was on dba819e.

• Fixture: a static build of each head, served against the local fixture API. The pod focus has 14 next tasks (GET /api/pods/:id/focus is stubbed) and the board has 701 tasks.

• Positive control at dba819e: the focus box grows to its full content (530 px at 1440, 1568 px at 390, overflow visible). At 1440×560, 390×560 and 390×844 the columns shrink to 24 px and start below the fold (top 670 / 1684), so the board can't be reached.

• At 5786313 the focus box is capped at min(35vh, 260px) with overflow-y: auto. Its scroll ranges are 194/528 at 1440×560, 194/1566 at 390×560, 258/528 at 1440×900 and 258/1566 at 390×844. The last focus item can be scrolled into view inside the box.

• Visible column height at 5786313 (dba819e in brackets):

  Viewport	Visible column
  1440×560	143 px (0)
  390×560	172 px (0)
  1440×900	419 px (149)
  390×844	392 px (0)

  Columns start at 336 / 312 / 400 / 376. Each column scrolls on its own, and the document doesn't scroll at any of the four sizes.

• v2-layout-invariants.test.ts: 276/276. The new asserts (feature body display: flex, wrapper width: 100%) are included.

• A short focus list stays under the cap, so its layout is unchanged.

Non-blocking: at 390×560 the capped box shows only the goal and scope, and the task list starts below its fold. There's no cue that the box scrolls beyond the cut-off line. Worth a fade or a count if phone users miss it; not this PR.
