Drag feedback: floating ghost card + lifted palette entry - #2
Merged

Conversation
Grabbing a Source previously gave zero visual feedback — Avalonia's DragDrop renders no native drag image, so nothing appeared to move. - A ghost card (accent border, waveform icon, Source title) now floats under the pointer for the whole drag, with a quick scale pop on lift-off. It lives in the TopLevel OverlayLayer and follows DragOver events, listened on the TopLevel with handledEventsToo since columns handle their own. - The board root sets DragDrop.AllowDrop so DragOver keeps firing between columns and the ghost never freezes; drops outside a column are refused there with a no-drop cursor. - The grabbed palette entry dims and sinks slightly (accent tint, scale 0.97) while its ghost is in flight, and restores on release. - DragSourceBehavior gains a DragLabel attached property (bound to the Source title) to feed the ghost; ghost teardown is in a finally so a failed drop can't strand it. - The --screenshot tool stages the full mid-drag look (dimmed entry, ghost over the highlighted column) for docs/screenshots/board-dragover.png. Build, 65 tests, --smoke and --smoke-ui all pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Jac4PWhnEzh7j5f5NaafJ1
GitHub Actions workflow (ubuntu-latest, .NET 10) running on pushes to main and on every PR: - dotnet restore / build (Release) / test (65 unit tests) - the two window-free smoke checks (--smoke viewmodel flows, --smoke-ui headless render with binding-error detection) - renders the board via --screenshot (headless Skia) and uploads the PNGs as a build artifact, so every PR carries an up-to-date visual of the UI it ships Linux-only by design — AutoRoute targets PipeWire/WirePlumber. Superseded runs on the same ref are cancelled. CI badge added to the README.

- scripts/build-appimage.sh publishes a self-contained linux-x64 build into an AppDir (AppRun, desktop file, icon, /usr/bin/autoroute symlink) and packs it with appimagetool (downloaded on demand, FUSE-less via --appimage-extract-and-run). Self-contained means no .NET dependency at runtime; the glibc floor comes from Microsoft's runtime binaries, not the build machine. - CI gains an "AppImage (linux-x64)" job after the main job: builds the image, boots it for --smoke and --smoke-ui, and uploads it as the AutoRoute-AppImage artifact on every PR. - New release workflow: pushing a v* tag builds + smoke-tests the AppImage and attaches it to an auto-generated GitHub Release. - packaging/: shared .desktop entry and a generated 256px icon (gradient rounded square + waveform, matching the in-app logo). - packaging/aur/PKGBUILD: ready-to-publish template (framework- dependent build, pipewire/wireplumber/dotnet-runtime deps) for the planned AUR package; needs a LICENSE file and a tagged release before it can go up. - README: install section now covers AppImage and the AUR plan. Verified locally: the published AppDir passes --smoke and --smoke-ui; the appimagetool step runs on CI (sandbox egress blocks the download here).

Follow-up to #1: grabbing a Source gave zero visual feedback — Avalonia's DragDrop renders no native drag image, so nothing appeared to move until you hovered a column.
What it looks like now
Mid-drag: the grabbed palette entry (Zen, left) dims and sinks, a ghost card floats under the pointer, and the drop column glows:
What changed
OverlayLayerand is repositioned fromDragOverevents, listened on the TopLevel withhandledEventsToosince columns mark their own DragOver handled.DragDrop.AllowDrop, so DragOver keeps firing between columns and the ghost never freezes; drops that land outside a column are refused there with a no-drop cursor (instead of the misleading default copy cursor).DragSourceBehaviorgains aDragLabelattached property (bound to the Source title in the palette) to feed the ghost; ghost teardown sits in afinally, so a cancelled or failed drop can never strand it on screen.--screenshottool now stages the full mid-drag scene for the shot above.Verification
