fix(web): keep the model quick-switch menu inside the viewport by elkaix · Pull Request #96 · PyModel/pythinker-code

No issue. The problem is described below.

Problem

The web model quick-switch menu opens above its pill with a fixed 160px
minimum height. When the pill sits near the top of the viewport, the menu
reached past the viewport edge, so its upper entries could not be scrolled to.
The existing test asserted the 160px value, so it encoded the off-screen
behaviour rather than catching it.

What changed

Clamp the menu height to the space actually available above the pill. The
360px cap is unchanged. The low-space case in the test now asserts the
constrained height.

This pull request was originally a larger desktop and web branch. #97 landed
that work, so only this fix is left; the branch has been reset onto main.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates desktop window appearance and packaging assertions. It also constrains web model dropdowns and session dialogs, improves dark-mode contrast, adds dropdown height tests, and records related patch releases.

Changes

Desktop rendering and release metadata

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Opaque desktop window appearance `apps/desktop/src/main.ts`, `apps/desktop/tests/window-appearance.spec.ts`	The desktop window now uses an opaque background. macOS transparency settings were removed. Windows frame options remain conditional and are covered by updated tests.
Desktop packaging and release metadata `apps/desktop/tests/packaging-config.spec.ts`, `.changeset/desktop-dedicated-update-channel.md`, `.changeset/desktop-pin-host-port.md`	The packaging test validates the Windows download icon link. Changesets document dedicated update channels, Host-port pinning, and updater failure reporting.

Web layout and dark-mode styling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Viewport-aware model dropdown `apps/pythinker-web/src/components/Composer.vue`, `apps/pythinker-web/test/composer.test.ts`, `.changeset/web-model-dropdown-viewport.md`	The model dropdown calculates its maximum height from the model pill position, scrolls when needed, and has tests for constrained and larger viewport space.
Scrollable session dialog `apps/pythinker-web/src/components/NewSessionDialog.vue`	The dialog clips overflow. Its form body can shrink and scroll within the flex layout.
Dark-mode contrast tokens `apps/pythinker-web/src/style.css`, `.changeset/dark-sidebar-contrast.md`	Explicit and system-preference dark modes use lighter `--dim`, `--muted`, and `--faint` values. The changeset records the sidebar contrast update.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9fc78

The PR repairs desktop window rendering, dark-mode contrast, and web menu sizing, but merge readiness still carries two bounded follow-ups: the Windows packaging test may not verify the link in the desktop section, and one release note describes behavior that is no longer shipped.

The menu opens above its pill with a 160px minimum height, so a pill near the top of the viewport produced a menu that reached past the viewport edge and could not be scrolled to. Clamp the height to the space that is actually available; the 360px cap is unchanged.
