Onboarding gap g13. Closes #547. Part of #550.

The dashboard composer's place picker cut both descriptions off ("This chec…", "A team comp…"). DropdownMenuContent sets its inline size to the trigger's width with min-inline-32; the composer's min-w-56 didn't override either (tailwind-merge doesn't treat min-w-* and min-inline-* as the same utility), so the menu stayed 128px wide.

The composer's agent menu now passes inline-auto min-inline-56, which replaces both defaults: the menu is at least 224px and grows to fit its entries. The descriptions keep their max-w-64 truncation as a ceiling for longer ones. The copy stays the same.

Screenshots

Taken with a loopback source host (ace serve --port 4414 --loopback, its own ACE_HOME, ACE_CONFIG_HOME, and Keychain service), the cloud compute beta on, and a project with a GitHub origin, using headless Chromium:

  • Before: a 128px menu with "This chec…" and "A team comp…"
  • After: a 224px menu with "This checkout" and "A team compute container" in full

bun types and bun run ci pass.

Built in Ace

No. Claude Code made this outside Ace, in a lane, while the user was away and couldn't drive an Ace channel. It took the screenshots with Playwright against a disposable source host. Tracked under dogfooding, #5.
