fix(mobile): resolve overflow, top-bar, filters and focus on small screens

NiallJoeMaher · claude · NiallJoeMaher · commit 40ff989257e5 · 2026-06-14T08:56:31.000+01:00
The relaunch redesign had several mobile regressions:

- cards overflowed the viewport (byline meta line couldn't shrink) — now
  truncates; card padding p-4 on mobile
- app-main side gutters reduced to 0.75rem and per-page content wrappers
  drop px-4 py-8 → px-0 py-4 on mobile (parent already gutters), so text
  gets full reading width without double padding
- top bar collapses to burger + logo + search icon ≤720px; Log in / Join
  free move into the nav drawer; real search SVG replaces the tiny glyph
- feed filters drop to their own row below the tabs instead of cramming
  under them, and no longer sit in an overflow container that clipped the
  FilterPill dropdowns (they now open on mobile)
- command palette: Esc hint becomes an X close button on mobile
- search field active state is a subtle accent underline, not the global
  (blue-resolving) focus ring
