Closes #1777

At Inventory & Coverage -> Coverage, the "Coverage bar" column rendered empty cells for every row while the numeric Coverage % beside it was correct.

Root cause: the CSS for the bar never existed

The markup was always correct. buildServiceRow() in frontend/src/inventory.ts has always built td.coverage-bar-cell > div.coverage-bar > div.coverage-bar-fill, with the fill width set inline from coverage_pct and clamped to [0, 100]. No stylesheet anywhere in the repo defined those three classes, so both divs resolved to height: 0 with no background and painted nothing.

The evidence, in the order that established it:

  1. Reading the renderer ruled out two of the four candidate causes on its own: the data is present and the field name matches, so this is neither missing data nor a renamed field.

  2. Grepping the class names across every .css, .html and .ts in the repo returned exactly one file, inventory.ts itself:

    $ grep -rn "coverage-bar" frontend/src --include='*' -l | grep -v node_modules
    frontend/src/inventory.ts
    

    A column whose classes appear only in the code that builds them, and nowhere in the styles, is unstyled rather than vestigial. That grep is what rules out "the column is left over from a removed feature", which would have made deleting it the correct outcome.

  3. Confirmed by measurement rather than by reasoning: in Chromium the track's getBoundingClientRect().height is 0.

This is not fallout from the routing work in #1854. These classes have been unstyled since the column was introduced in #754. The route resolves correctly; the blank column reproduces once you are on the page by any means.

Why the existing tests never caught it

jsdom does not resolve stylesheets into layout. frontend/src/__tests__/inventory.test.ts asserts the DOM structure and the header aria-label, and stayed green for the entire life of the bug. Jest is structurally incapable of catching this class of defect, which is why the regression test added here is a Playwright spec that measures what Chromium actually paints (box height, computed background colour, and fill width as a fraction of the track) rather than what the DOM contains.

Against the pre-fix bundle it fails on the defect itself:

Error: ec2: track height
Expected: > 0
Received:   0

Post-fix: 4 passed. It runs on the existing hermetic e2e harness (production webpack bundle served by npx serve -s dist, API mocked via page.route), so it costs no live account and no backend boot.

Absent is not zero

A null coverage_pct now renders no track at all plus a muted N/A, not a zero-width bar. A 0% bar asserts that the answer is known to be zero, which is a different claim from "we have no usage signal for this service". The two are visually distinct: a genuine 0% row shows the empty grey rail, a null row shows no rail.

Previously a null row left the cell entirely blank, which was indistinguishable from the bug being addressed here.

Verified

Boundary coverage_pct Rendered
Fully covered 100 Track fully filled
Fractional 62.5 Fill ~5/8 of the track
Zero 0 Grey track, no fill
Absent null No track, muted N/A

Run from frontend/ on this branch:

  • npm test -> 2858 passed, 1 skipped, 90 suites
  • npm run build -> exit 0
  • npm run lint -> exit 0 (125 warnings, all pre-existing no-explicit-any in files this PR does not touch)
  • npx playwright test -> 32 passed (the full e2e suite, confirming the shared recs.ts fixture change does not disturb the existing deeplink and recommendations specs)

The bar also gains role="img" and an aria-label carrying its percentage, since it holds no text of its own and the column header already carries a deliberate screen-reader label.

XSS posture unchanged: this path uses textContent and createElement throughout, never innerHTML. The only API-derived value reaching an attribute is coverage_pct.toFixed(1), numeric by type.

Scope

.coverage-provider-card, .coverage-overall-badge and .coverage-service-table are also unstyled, but they inherit usable styling from the generic .card and table rules and render correctly. Styling them is out of scope here.

Not verified

  • Chromium only. The Playwright project is Chromium-only by design, documented in playwright.config.ts.
  • Against the fixture rather than a live backend. The renderer consumes the typed field either way and no backend contract changed.
  • Default 1280x720 viewport; the 160px cell width was not checked against the responsive.css breakpoints.
  • Light theme only, since there is no prefers-color-scheme handling anywhere in frontend/src/styles/.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added accessible coverage bars with percentage labels and proportional fill widths.
    • Added a clear “N/A” indicator when coverage data is unavailable.
    • Improved visual styling for coverage breakdowns.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented empty coverage cells when no coverage value exists.
  • Tests

    • Added automated coverage for accessibility, rendering, sizing, colors, and unavailable data states.

buildServiceRow() has always built div.coverage-bar > div.coverage-bar-fill
with the fill width set inline from coverage_pct, but no stylesheet ever
defined those classes. Both divs resolved to height 0 with no background,
so every cell in the column painted blank while the numeric Coverage %
beside it was correct.

jsdom does not resolve stylesheets into layout, so the existing jest suite
asserted the markup and stayed green throughout. The regression test is a
Playwright spec that measures what Chromium paints (box height, background
colour, fill width as a fraction of the track) across the boundaries: 100%,
a fractional value, 0%, and a service with no coverage figure at all.

A null coverage_pct now renders an explicit N/A placeholder instead of an
empty cell. Absent is not zero, and a blank cell was indistinguishable from
the defect above. The bar also carries role=img and an aria-label with its
percentage, since it holds no text of its own.

… savings figure (#1868)

Upcoming Scheduled Purchases actions collided with the savings figure

On Home, the View Details and Cancel buttons rendered flush against the
"$0 Est. monthly savings" text. Measured in Chromium across a 1600px to
320px sweep in 20px steps with three fixture rows, which showed the report
describes two distinct defects rather than one:

The savings-to-actions collision is width- and content-dependent. It
appears from roughly 780px to 1024px with a realistic plan name, and at any
width once a row's content is long enough; rows with short plan names never
collide. The button-to-button collision is genuinely at every width,
including 1600px, where View Details and Cancel share an edge with exactly
0px between them.

There is no z-order overlap anywhere. Overlapping area measures 0 at every
width and every fixture row, checked per text node with
Range.getClientRects() and cross-checked that no global word-break or
overflow-wrap rule defeats flexbox min-width: auto. What a user sees is
zero separation: bold green text sharing a pixel boundary with a solid
button reads as an overlap. Worth knowing before comparing this diff
against the issue's wording, since the fix adds space rather than
correcting a stacking order.

Root cause is the same shape as #1777: the markup was correct and the
stylesheet was not. .upcoming-actions had no rule at all, so its buttons
laid out edge to edge, and space-between alone leaves zero separation once
the three blocks fill the row. Three declarations, all built from existing
design tokens: a gap on the card, flex-shrink: 0 on the savings block so a
long plan name squeezes the info block rather than wrapping the label into
the buttons, and a flex row with a gap for the actions. A fourth
declaration was found to guard an unreachable state and removed before
commit.

Verified by a Playwright spec measuring rendered geometry, because jsdom
does not resolve stylesheets into layout and a jest test cannot observe an
overlap at all. It asserts both no-overlap and a minimum gap, fails 3 of 4
pre-fix and passes 4 of 4 after. The one spec that passes in both states is
a deliberate non-vacuity guard asserting the fixture renders two buttons
per row, so a fixture regression cannot make the spacing assertions pass
trivially. Confirmed in CI that Run Playwright tests executed rather than
being skipped.

One spec bug was found and fixed during the work: the label line-count
assertion used Element.getClientRects().length, which returns a single rect
for a block box regardless of how many lines the text wraps to, so it
passed pre-fix and proved nothing. It now uses a Range over the label's
contents and fails pre-fix.

CodeRabbit never reviewed this pull request. Its included allowance was
exhausted before the PR was opened, an explicit full review request was
also throttled, and roughly two and a half hours across several windows
produced only rate-limit notices. The entire production diff, 14 lines in
one stylesheet, was therefore reviewed by hand rather than a delta on top
of an earlier verdict. CI is green on all six runs with zero unresolved
threads.

Deferred: #1869 covers Frontend E2E hanging on Install Chromium and being
killed by the job timeout, which skipped every spec on three attempts here
and three on #1864; the run reports as cancelled rather than failed, so a
denylist-based green check reads it as passing. #1865 covers the fourteen
frontend files over the 500-line ceiling.
