Implements intelligent auto-layout system that efficiently arranges widgets to maximize space usage while respecting panel width constraints.
**Key Features:**
- Smart packing algorithm that sorts by widget area and finds optimal positions
- Respects responsive column count (2-4 columns based on panel width)
- Prefers full-width widgets when possible to eliminate gaps
- Fallback to narrower widths for better vertical packing
- Maintains minimum widget sizes
**Implementation:**
- GridEngine.autoLayout() - Core packing algorithm with collision detection
- DashboardManager.autoLayoutWidgets() - High-level API that re-renders after layout
- Auto-Arrange button in dashboard header (uses fa-table-cells-large icon)
- Event handler wired to call autoLayoutWidgets with preferFullWidth=true
**Algorithm Strategy:**
1. Sort widgets by area (largest first) for efficient packing
2. For each widget, try full-width placement first
3. Find first available position using row-by-row scan
4. If position is too far down, try narrower widths
5. Mark cells as occupied to prevent overlaps
**Testing Notes:**
- Works with current responsive column system (2-4 columns)
- Respects minimum sizes and column constraints
- Re-renders all widgets after repositioning
- Auto-saves layout changes

PROBLEM (reported by user testing on Xiaomi Redmi 11 Pro 5G):
- FAB buttons (mobile toggle, refresh, debug) rendering off-screen
- Users need to scroll right to find buttons and drag them back
- Debug button invisible on some devices (never seen on Xiaomi)
- Issue occurs on devices with different viewport handling (MIUI Chrome)
ROOT CAUSE:
- Default positions scattered (right side, bottom side)
- Right-side positioning: buttons pushed off-screen on some devices
- Bottom positioning: buttons below fold when browser UI visible
- Fixed pixel values don't account for different screen sizes/viewports
SOLUTION:
Changed all FAB default positions to top-left stacked layout:
1. Mobile toggle FAB:
- WAS: top + 60px, right: 12px (TOP-RIGHT)
- NOW: top + 20px, left: 12px (TOP-LEFT)
2. Refresh button:
- WAS: bottom: 80px, right: 20px (BOTTOM-RIGHT)
- NOW: top + 80px, left: 12px (BELOW toggle)
3. Debug button:
- WAS: bottom: 140px, left: 20px (BOTTOM-LEFT)
- NOW: top + 140px, left: 12px (BELOW refresh)
BENEFITS:
- All buttons stacked vertically on LEFT side (always visible)
- Positioned safely below SillyTavern top bar
- 60px spacing between buttons (44px button + 16px gap)
- No scrolling needed to find buttons on first load
- calc(var(--topBarBlockSize) + Npx) accounts for dynamic top bar
- Users can still drag to preferred positions (saved per user)
NOTE: Only affects NEW users or users who clear their settings.
Existing users with saved FAB positions will not be affected.
Files changed:
- src/core/state.js: Default extensionSettings positions
- src/core/config.js: Reference default positions
PROBLEM:
- Debug logs only accessible via browser console (impractical on mobile)
- User (Salixfire) reporting parsing issues but can't debug on mobile device
- Need mobile-friendly debug mode for troubleshooting data display issues
SOLUTION:
Implemented debug toggle FAB button following exact pattern of existing mobile FABs:
Files Changed:
- src/core/state.js: Added debugFabPosition and debugMode to extensionSettings
- src/core/config.js: Added debugFabPosition to defaultSettings (reference)
- index.js: Created debug toggle button, imported setupDebugButtonDrag
- style.css: Added debug toggle CSS matching mobile FAB pattern (44px, grab cursor, theme colors)
- src/systems/ui/mobile.js: Added setupDebugButtonDrag() with drag-to-reposition
- src/systems/ui/debug.js: Removed button creation, added just-dragged check, updated visibility control
Implementation Details:
- Button created in index.js (not debug.js) following mobile FAB pattern
- CSS matches mobile toggle/refresh buttons (44px, theme colors, grab cursor, user-select: none)
- Drag support with touch/mouse handlers, 200ms/10px threshold
- Position saved to extensionSettings.debugFabPosition
- Just-dragged flag prevents accidental clicks after drag
- Mobile (≤1000px): slide from right with rpg-mobile-open/closing classes
- Desktop (>1000px): slide from bottom with rpg-debug-open class
- Event delegation for reliable click handling
- Default position: bottom 140px, left 20px (below other FABs)
Bug Fix:
- Initial implementation had debugFabPosition only in config.js
- extensionSettings uses state.js as source, not config.js
- Without debugFabPosition in state.js, button had no position and was invisible
- Now properly initialized in both files
The debug button is hidden by default (debugMode: false) and shown when user enables debug mode in RPG Companion settings. This allows Salixfire to view parser logs on mobile and troubleshoot the data display issues.
Add comprehensive debug logging system that's accessible on mobile devices
where browser console is impractical.
**New Features:**
- Debug mode toggle in extension settings (🔍 Debug Mode)
- Mobile-friendly debug panel with slide-up UI
- Red bug FAB button to toggle debug log viewer
- Copy logs to clipboard functionality
- Auto-scrolling log display with timestamps
- Stores last 100 log entries to prevent memory issues
**Parser Enhancements:**
- All parser logs now use debugLog() helper function
- Logs only appear in UI when debug mode is enabled
- Console.log still works for desktop debugging
- Full visibility into parsing pipeline:
- Raw AI response preview
- Code blocks found and matched
- Stats extraction (health, energy, mood, etc.)
- Inventory parsing (v1 and v2)
- Final values saved to settings
**UI Components:**
- src/systems/ui/debug.js: Debug panel creation and management
- style.css: Mobile-first debug panel styles (FAB + slide-up panel)
- Desktop view: Smaller panel in bottom-right corner
**Settings:**
- src/core/config.js: Added debugMode default (false)
- src/core/state.js: Added debug logs storage array
- settings.html: Added debug mode checkbox
- index.js: Wire up debug toggle and initialize UI
**Usage for Mobile Users:**
1. Enable "Debug Mode" in RPG Companion settings
2. Red bug button appears (bottom-left)
3. Tap bug button to view logs
4. Use "Copy" to share logs for troubleshooting
5. Logs show exactly what AI generated and how parser handled it
This addresses the issue where users on mobile can't access browser
console to diagnose parsing problems (vanishing attributes, placeholder
characters, etc.). Now they can view and share logs directly.

Extract dice rolling functionality from modals.js into dedicated
feature module at src/systems/features/dice.js. This includes:
- rollDice() - core rolling logic with animation
- executeRollCommand() - dice notation parser
- updateDiceDisplay() - sidebar display updates
- clearDiceRoll() - clear last roll
- addDiceQuickReply() - quick reply integration
Also fixes ES6 module binding issue with pendingDiceRoll by adding
getPendingDiceRoll() getter function in state.js to ensure correct
value retrieval across module boundaries.
Reduces modals.js from 568 to 499 lines (-69 lines).
Creates dice.js with 113 lines of focused dice functionality.
Extract core system modules from monolithic index.js into modular architecture:
- src/core/state.js: All extension state variables with controlled setters
- src/core/persistence.js: Settings and chat data persistence functions
- src/core/config.js: Extension metadata and default configuration
- src/core/events.js: SillyTavern event system wrapper
Updated index.js to import and use new core modules.
Removed ~220 lines of state/persistence code from index.js.
