v1.31.0

Changes in 1.31.0

Building a mod on top of Sideload? Sideload_1.31.0_debug.zip is the same version built in Debug, which turns on hot reload from Mods/<appId>/, the F9 dev overlay, Ctrl+F10 box outlines, the Chrome DevTools bridge and the MCP probe that lets an agent drive a page. Players want the file above it; you probably want this one.

Added

• Changing only the text of a box no longer rebuilds the page. A clock that ticks once a second rebuilt every
  element on screen with it.

Fixed

• A scrolling area inside a plain <div> keeps its height. It was squeezed to nothing, so the one part of a page
  meant to scroll was the part that disappeared.
• A box only shrinks its children if it says display: flex, flex-direction, flex-wrap or flex-flow. Anything
  else overflows, as a block does.
• transform turns a box around its transform-origin without dragging its contents along. A button growing on
  hover left its own label behind.
• :hover survives a page rebuild. A page that redraws on a timer flickered once a second, and a text field lost
  its hover for good.

Installing by hand: put Sideload.dll into Mods/. That is the whole install - AngleSharp, Jint and
Esprima are inside it now, so there is nothing to place in UserLibs/ any more. Old copies there do no
harm and are still used if present; delete them whenever you like.

v1.30.0

Changes in 1.30.0

Building a mod on top of Sideload? Sideload_1.30.0_debug.zip is the same version built in Debug, which turns on hot reload from Mods/<appId>/, the F9 dev overlay, Ctrl+F10 box outlines, the Chrome DevTools bridge and the MCP probe that lets an agent drive a page. Players want the file above it; you probably want this one.

Added

• Elements look like they do in a browser before your CSS says anything: heading sizes, paragraph spacing, list
  indent, bold, italic, monospace.
  • Only with <meta name="sideload" content="web-defaults">, and every rule you write beats it.
• Lists have bullets and numbers. list-style-type picks between disc, circle, square, decimal and none,
  and start on an <ol> counts from there.
• localStorage and sessionStorage reach the same store as s1.storage, so a library that calls getItem works.

v1.29.0

Changes in 1.29.0

Building a mod on top of Sideload? Sideload_1.29.0_debug.zip is the same version built in Debug, which turns on hot reload from Mods/<appId>/, the F9 dev overlay, Ctrl+F10 box outlines, the Chrome DevTools bridge and the MCP probe that lets an agent drive a page. Players want the file above it; you probably want this one.

Added

• outline draws a focus ring, outside the box and without moving it. Width, colour, offset and auto are all read.
• vertical-align puts an icon or a badge on the line it sits in: top, middle, bottom and baseline.
• touch-action: none says a box handles its own drag, so a map pans instead of scrolling the page around it.
• tab-size fills a tab to the next stop in preserved text, counted from the line start. Default 8, as in CSS.
• FormData exists, including new FormData(form), iteration and posting it as a fetch body.

Fixed

• A rounded box with a border and no background draws its border. It drew nothing at all, so an outlined chip was
  an empty rectangle.
• A drag listener no longer takes scrolling away from the list underneath. Claim the gesture with preventDefault()
  or touch-action: none.
• el.value = x no longer reports itself as typing. A field whose page wrote its value back could loop.
• A page that needs longer than 250 ms to start now gets it: loading has a 5 s budget, a handler still has 250 ms.
• mousemove fires while a page listens for it, and createElementNS puts the element in the namespace it names.

• Boxes have their borders, corners and shadows back next to a mod that draws in the main menu. Only the fill was
  drawn, and no stylesheet could bring the rest back.

Players want the file above it; you probably want this one.

Fixed

• A styled <span> inside a sentence keeps its background, padding and corners. The whole sentence used to
  collapse into one run of text, and a badge in the middle of it came out as coloured words.
• The space before a bold or coloured word is there. "A paragraph with" and a bold "bold" were printed as
  "withbold", because the piece that carried the space was measured without it.

Added

• ::placeholder styles the hint text in a field. Without a rule it stays the field's own type, faded, exactly as
  before.
• The lh and rlh units, which is one line box tall - min-height: 1lh is how a stock Tailwind build sizes a
  one-line control.

Changes in 1.25.0

Building a mod on top of Sideload? Sideload_1.25.0_debug.zip is the same version built in Debug, which turns on hot reload from Mods/<appId>/, the F9 dev overlay, Ctrl+F10 box outlines, the Chrome DevTools bridge and the MCP probe that lets an agent drive a page. Players want the file above it; you probably want this one.

Added

• text-decoration draws an underline or a strike, the font shorthand sets the whole type in one line, and
  inherit works on every property the cascade can carry down.
• A font stack is read the way a browser reads it: Inter, game-comic reaches the comic face instead of falling
  back to the UI font on the first name it does not have.
• An input's type is read at last: a checkbox and a radio are a box with a state, hidden is no box at all, and
  button draws its value as a label.
• Clicking a checkbox flips it, clears its radio group and raises input and change - which is what React
  listens for, so a controlled checkbox finally moves. Clicking its label works too.
• sideloadwheel [notches] [appId] turns the wheel over a page through the real raycast and names what took the
  notch. A screenshot cannot tell scrolling from cropping. Debug builds only.

Changed

• The log names only what is lost. A React and Tailwind build reported 128 dead declarations and now reports 28,
  and most of the difference was the report being wrong.

Fixed

• A page taller than the phone scrolls instead of drawing past it. The lower half used to be painted outside the
  phone, over the game world, out of reach.
• A page whose script listens for the wheel still scrolls. React registers one on its root container, which took
  scrolling away from every React app.
• A text field is as tall as a line of its own text. It used to be padding around one pixel of nothing, with the
  placeholder hanging out of the bottom.
• A page that says overflow-x: hidden still scrolls downwards. It used to be cropped at the first screenful,
  with everything below it reachable by nothing.
• scrollToEnd() works on a box that already had a scroll area. The position restore that follows a rebuild put it
  straight back where it was.

Players want the file above it; you probably want this one.

Added

• align-content moves the wrapped lines: flex-end, center, space-between, space-around, space-evenly.
• object-fit: fill stretches the picture to its box, and scale-down leaves one alone that is already smaller.

Changed

• align-content: flex-start and object-fit: contain are taken in silence. Both are what the engine already
  did, and every use of them in the shipped apps was reported as unimplemented.

Players want the file above it; you probably want this one.

Changed

• The report about unusable CSS only names what is actually lost. will-change, touch-action, user-select
  and the other pure browser hints are accepted in silence.
• A breakpoint wider than the phone now says so and names the screen, rather than reading as a missing feature.

Fixed

• border-style: none removes the border. It used to leave it drawn, and every value including solid was
  reported as doing nothing.

Players want the file above it; you probably want this one.

Added

• line-height reaches the text. It was read and then used only to size an empty box, so nine of the fourteen
  shipped apps set a line height that never appeared.
• pointer-events: none lets the pointer through to whatever is behind. A scrim that only dims, a label over a
  map. Inherited, so one rule covers a whole overlay.
• text-transform with uppercase, lowercase and capitalize.
• transform-origin, in the keyword and length forms.

Fixed

• scale and rotate turn a box around its centre. They turned it around its top-left corner, which is not what
  any browser does and not what any page that scales was drawn against.
