Auto-arrange and reset now properly size widgets to defaults and expand to fill
available space without exceeding visible area.
This commit implements 5 major improvements to the dashboard layout system:
**1. Improved Default Layout (defaultLayout.js)**
- Changed from 2 tabs to 3 tabs for better organization:
- Tab 1 (Status): User widgets only (userInfo, userStats, userMood, userAttributes)
- Tab 2 (Scene): Scene widgets + characters (calendar, weather, temp, clock, location, presentCharacters)
- Tab 3 (Inventory): Full inventory widget
- Cleaner separation prevents cramming all widgets on one tab
**2. Widget Max Size Limits (widget definition files)**
- Added maxAutoSize property to all widgets (enforced only during auto-arrange):
- Info widgets (calendar, weather, temp, clock): { w: 2, h: 3 }
- Location: { w: 3, h: 3 }
- presentCharacters: { w: 3, h: 6 } (can expand significantly)
- Inventory: { w: 3, h: 8 } (full tab)
- Prevents blind expansion while allowing intelligent space filling
**3. Smart Expansion Algorithm (gridEngine.js)**
- Added expansion pass after compaction in autoLayout():
- Sorts widgets top-to-bottom, left-to-right
- Tries to expand height first (fills vertical gaps)
- Then tries to expand width (fills horizontal gaps)
- Respects maxAutoSize limits from widget definitions
- Only expands if no collision with other widgets
- Widgets now fill available space instead of staying at default sizes
- Example: presentCharacters expands from 2x3 to 3x6 when space available
**4. Auto-Reflow on Column Change (dashboardManager.js)**
- Modified onColumnsChange callback to auto-layout after column count changes
- When grid transitions (2→3 or 3→2), automatically reflo ws widgets
- Prevents overlap and optimizes for new column count
- User experience: seamless adaptation when console opens/closes
**5. Fixed Grid Height/Scrollbar CSS (style.css)**
- Added flex: 1, overflow-y: auto, min-height: 0 to .rpg-dashboard-grid
- Grid now properly fills available space in dashboard container
- Accounts for bottom buttons (manual update, settings)
- Prevents "fingernail of extra height" that caused scrollbars
**Technical Changes:**
- Passed widget registry to GridEngine for maxAutoSize lookups
- getWidgetMaxSize() helper looks up definitions from registry
- Moved registry initialization before GridEngine construction
- Grid now uses flexbox to fill available vertical space
**User-Facing Improvements:**
- Reset layout creates logical 3-tab structure from the start
- Auto-arrange expands widgets to fill available space intelligently
- Resizing window/console automatically reflows layout
- No more unwanted scrollbars from slight overflow
Fixes cramped layouts, underutilized space, and scrollbar issues.
Implement responsive scaling for info widgets and fix sizing issues:
**1. Container-Responsive Info Widgets (style.css)**
**Calendar Widget:**
- Add flexbox layout (height: 100%, flex-direction: column)
- Change font sizes from vw to rem for better scaling
- Calendar day now uses clamp(1.5rem, 2.5rem, 3.5rem) to fill space
- Add flex-shrink: 0 to top/year, flex: 1 to day
**Weather Widget:**
- Add container wrapper (height: 100%, justify-content: space-around)
- Weather icon scales with container: clamp(2rem, 8vh, 4rem)
- Forecast text uses rem instead of vw
- Both elements marked flex-shrink: 0
**Temperature Widget:**
- Container fills height with flexbox centering
- Thermometer scales: clamp(4rem, 60%, 8rem) height
- Tube/bulb use percentages (40% width, 70% height)
- Text value uses rem units
**Clock Widget:**
- Container with space-around layout
- Clock scales with container: clamp(3rem, 60%, 6rem)
- Clock hands use percentages of clock size
- Time text uses rem units
**Location Widget:**
- Container flexbox with column layout
- Map background uses flex: 1 (was fixed 1.875rem)
- Map marker scales: clamp(1.5rem, 4vh, 3rem)
- Location text uses rem units
**2. Fix Attributes Widget Scrollbar (style.css)**
- Line 966: Change grid-auto-rows: 1fr to grid-auto-rows: minmax(0, 1fr)
- Allows rows to shrink below natural size to fit container
- Prevents overflow when widget manually positioned after auto-arrange
**3. Widget Size Constraints (widget files)**
- userAttributesWidget.js: Change minSize from {w:1, h:2} to {w:2, h:2}
- Enforces 2x2 minimum as requested
- Prevents cramped 1-column layout
- infoBoxWidgets.js: Change location minSize from {w:2, h:2} to {w:1, h:2}
- Allows narrow 1x2 layout for space-constrained dashboards
- Only widget that didn't fit on desktop screen
**Technical Details:**
- All info widgets now use rem units instead of vw for text
- Flexbox scaling ensures widgets fill their containers beautifully
- Percentage-based sizing for thermometer/clock internal elements
- clamp() used for min/preferred/max sizing across resolutions
- minmax(0, 1fr) fixes classic CSS grid overflow issue
**User-Reported Issues Fixed:**
✅ Info widgets scale to fill containers instead of fixed sizes
✅ Attributes widget no longer shows scrollbar in 2x2 (manual or auto-arranged)
✅ Location widget works in both 1x2 and 2x2 layouts
✅ All widgets maintain readability across different panel widths
Related: Dashboard v2, Epic 2, Phase 3.2
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
