Description

On a 390px screen the home news list and /news/ kept the date, thumbnail, and title in one row. The title column was about 170px wide, so headlines wrapped to about five lines, and the action button sat under a large gap. Both surfaces now use the shared bridge.css .news-row block. Below 760px the date and thumbnail sit above the copy, and the button follows the text.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Content update (Team/Publication)
  • Documentation update
  • Other (please describe)

Changes Made

  • Home and /news/ markup uses .news-row (copy, date, and kind labels are unchanged).
  • The row layout, including the stack below 760px, lives only in bridge.css and uses existing spacing, radius, and type tokens.
  • Removed the /news/ inline style that duplicated the row, and removed the matching rules from home.css.
  • Archive page chrome moved to news-v2.css, loaded for body.news-v2.
  • Merged main after the coral-text, join copy box, and research chip pulls. Dark --color-strong stays var(--c-accent-coral-text).

Testing Done

  • Tested locally using bundle exec jekyll serve
  • Checked all links and references
  • Verified content formatting
  • Cross-browser testing (if UI changes)

./scripts/lint-check.sh, npm test (215 passed), npm run lint, and ./scripts/build.sh --skip-deps passed after the merge. Chromium at 390px and 1440px, light and dark: mobile titles use the full row (about 358px, two lines) with the button 12px under the summary. Desktop stays a horizontal row. Dark <strong> in the news rows computes to #ff6714.

Additional Notes

News copy and _data are unchanged. Tokens are referenced, not redefined. The phone stack is the base .news-row layout. The horizontal row starts at min-width: 761px.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Style
    • Updated news entries with responsive layouts for dates, article content, thumbnails, metadata and actions.
    • Added category-specific styling for papers, talks, and people, moves and awards.
    • Added a consistent visual style for the news archive, including a centred heading and introductory text.
    • Clarified the homepage team-preview section and adjusted its section numbering.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Pages configured to use the updated news design now load its styling.

Phone widths kept a date, thumbnail, and title in one row, so titles
wrapped for about 170px and the action sat in the gap underneath.
Home and /news/ now share bridge.css .news-row, which puts the date
and thumbnail above the copy below 760px.

Review: Stack news rows on phones so titles stay readable

Reviewed exact head 27a7d20dc2cdaed5bcd8f864b4bc3f1ed0620a55 across all six changed files (+349/-416).

No P0/P1 findings. The home/archive class migration matches the shared news-row selectors; the mobile copy and action span the row, while desktop retains the nested horizontal layout. Archive chrome has been separated into its stylesheet without changing news content or link behavior in the diff.

Verification: current-head build and PR-hygiene checks succeeded; deployment was skipped. Patch checks found no added conflict markers or trailing whitespace. Existing peer discussion contained no actionable code findings at packet collection time.

This was a static review, not an independent browser run or execution of PR code. No automated responsive regression test was added in this diff; a follow-up covering both pages around 760px, paper/avatar rows, and light/dark themes would strengthen coverage.

📝 Walkthrough

The homepage feed and news archive now use shared news-row classes and styles. The archive’s inline stylesheet was removed. A separate stylesheet provides archive page layout and heading styles, and loads conditionally from the default layout. Command data literals were reformatted without changing their rendered content or behaviour.

Changes: News presentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared news-row presentation
index.html, assets/css/bridge.css, assets/css/home.css
The homepage feed uses news-row class names. Shared styles define row layout, typography, media, actions, category colours and responsive behaviour. The homepage news-feed styles were removed, and the heading now labels the team preview.
Archive page styles
news/index.md, _layouts/default.html, assets/css/news-v2.css
The archive uses news-row class names and a distinct class for its decorative kicker rules. Its inline stylesheet was removed. The default layout loads news-v2.css when the page body class contains news-v2.

Command data formatting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command data literal formatting
assets/js/command-data.js
Icon and shortcut-help HTML strings now use single-quoted literals. Several titles and the repository URL call were reformatted. Their values and behaviour remain unchanged.

Review: Stack news rows on phones so titles stay readable

Reviewed all six changed files at 8789c294634b82711fa1126c6956225bd28c97d1 (+354/-419).

No P0/P1 findings. The home and archive markup consistently use the shared news-row component. The base layout gives copy and actions the full row width; the desktop media query restores the nested horizontal layout. Content, link behavior, and heading levels are preserved. The earlier generic .rule naming concern is fixed in this head.

Verification: exact-head build and PR-hygiene checks passed; deployment was skipped. Deterministic patch checks passed. Review was static: I did not execute PR code or independently reproduce the browser screenshots. A responsive regression check across both surfaces and the 760/761px boundary would be a useful follow-up.

Keep the dark emphasis alias from the coral-text token work and the
phone-first news-row layout. The archive feed still stacks below 761px.

Reviewed the exact head 5fcdf78 across all seven changed files. No P0/P1 issues found.

The shared news-row classes match both templates, the narrow-screen layout gives the copy and action full-width rows, and the desktop query restores the horizontal layout. The archive stylesheet extraction and command-data string-formatting changes introduce no identified functional regression. The earlier peer naming concern is fixed in this head.

Verification: the packet reports a successful build and PR-hygiene check; conflict-marker and trailing-whitespace checks pass. Deployment is skipped and CodeRabbit is pending. No PR code was executed during this review. Browser screenshots and the test count in the description were not independently reproduced; responsive visual regression coverage is not established by the changed files.
