Summary

The service worker update notice was a dismissible toast that was easy to miss, leaving users on a stale build. It is now a persistent status bar above the app shell with an explicit Reload action. The shell became a flex column and pages size against the shell height (h-full) rather than the viewport (h-dvh), so the layout stays correct while the banner is visible.

Frontend PwaUpdatePrompt tests pass (4/4), frontend lint is clean, and frontend typecheck passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • When a service-worker update is available, an accessible prompt now offers a Reload button to apply it.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Updated page and sidebar layouts to fit within their parent containers instead of sizing directly to the viewport. This keeps the update prompt outside swipeable content and supports more consistent full-height layouts across the app.

The service worker update notice was a dismissible toast that was easy to miss, leaving users on a stale build. Render a persistent status bar above the app shell with an explicit Reload action, and switch the shell to a flex column so pages size against the shell height (h-full) rather than the viewport (h-dvh), keeping the layout correct while the banner is visible.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The frontend now displays a PWA update prompt after an update signal and places it outside the swipe-bound content. Sidebar and page containers use parent-relative height classes instead of dynamic viewport height classes.

Changes

Frontend update prompt and layout

Layer / File(s) Summary
PWA update prompt behavior and placement
frontend/src/components/PwaUpdatePrompt.tsx, frontend/src/App.tsx, frontend/src/components/PwaUpdatePrompt.test.tsx
The prompt displays a status message and Reload button after a service-worker update signal. Reload calls the page reload function. Tests cover initial hidden state, update display, reload, and listener cleanup. AppShell places the prompt outside the swipe-bound content container.
Parent-relative page and sidebar sizing
frontend/src/components/ui/sidebar.tsx, frontend/src/pages/AssistantRedirect.tsx, frontend/src/pages/GlobalSchedules.tsx, frontend/src/pages/Login.tsx, frontend/src/pages/Register.tsx, frontend/src/pages/RepoDetail.tsx, frontend/src/pages/Repos.tsx, frontend/src/pages/Schedules.tsx, frontend/src/pages/SessionDetail.tsx, frontend/src/pages/Setup.tsx
The sidebar and listed page containers replace dynamic viewport height classes with h-full and, where present, max-h-full.

With an update available, some users may be unable to reach an auth form control or the Reload button. Address these layout failures before merging.

vertical centering when content overflows. Preserve the existing layout when the

Addresses two CodeRabbit findings on the update banner change.

The banner row could not fit the icon, message and Reload button on a narrow viewport at large text zoom, and the root clips overflow, so the button could be unreachable. Let the row wrap; the button drops to its own centered line only when the content does not fit.

The login, register and setup containers centred their forms with no scrolling, so once the banner reduced the shell height a tall form was clipped and its submit button could not be reached. Make the container the scroll area and centre the form wrapper with min-h-full, matching the pattern already used in GlobalSchedules and PromptsTab.
