**Learning:** In single-page applications die met toetsenbord en schermlezer worden gebruikt, gaat de focus verloren als een overlay sluit zonder focusherstel. Leg `document.activeElement` vast bij het openen van een overlay en herstel de focus bij sluiten, annuleren of succesvol opslaan.
**Action:** Leg altijd het actieve element vast dat de overlay opent en herstel de focus bij sluiten, annuleren of succesvolle voltooiing.

## 2026-08-02 - [Profile Empty State Recovery Actions]

**Learning:** For tabbed or filtered single-page dashboard interfaces where empty states can be caused by profile-level filtering, offering a contextual "Switch profile to core" recovery action (using the `.view-empty-link` class) prevented users from hitting dead ends and significantly improved usability and keyboard/screen-reader accessibility.
**Action:** Always provide direct, one-click recovery links to fallback to a valid profile state when custom profiles filter out all results in empty-state views.

🔥 The Roast: You're hand-crafting buttons here like it's 1995, but two blocks over the Catalog section already has an addLink helper that does the exact same thing. This is like building a bicycle from scratch when there's a perfectly good car parked in the driveway.

🩹 The Fix: Extract the button-creation pattern into a shared helper (or reuse the Catalog's addLink pattern) so all three views stay in sync when the button style evolves.

🔥 The Roast: Another hand-built button where the Catalog already handed you the tool. This is the third time you've reinvented the same wheel in this PR — at this rate you'll have your own tire factory by the end of the week.

🩹 The Fix: Reuse the same helper pattern from the Catalog section (or extract one) so the Fabric view's empty-state button stays consistent with the rest of the codebase.

Geef het profiel door en laad Fabric opnieuw na de actie.

loadFabricView() vraagt op Line 4215 /api/capabilities op zonder profile. src/kater/api/fabric_routes.py valt dan terug op core. De nieuwe lege toestand kan daardoor niet betrouwbaar het actieve profiel tonen.

Daarnaast laadt switchProfile() de Fabric-view niet opnieuw. Na een klik blijft de oude inhoud staan.

In `@src/kater/web/dashboard.py` around lines 4236 - 4243, Update loadFabricView()
to include the current active profile when requesting /api/capabilities, so the
response reflects that profile instead of defaulting to core. Update
switchProfile() to reload the Fabric view after changing profiles, ensuring the
displayed content and empty-state action reflect the new profile.

🔥 The Roast: You're testing that the string "Switch profile to core" exists in the HTML, but since activeProfile defaults to 'core', that button would never actually render at runtime. It's like testing that a fire extinguisher exists in the building by checking the blueprint — the extinguisher might as well not exist.

🩹 The Fix: Either set activeProfile to a non-core value in the test and verify the button appears, or test the conditional rendering logic directly instead of just checking for the string in the source.

Already covered: a behavioral Node/DOM test (test_server_map_empty_state_recovery_buttons_behavior_node) was added in a prior commit that sets activeProfile to a non-core value, verifies the button renders, and verifies clicking it switches the profile to core.
