Explorer draft saves that the server rejected could show only a generic "Could not save this draft"; the shared error renderer now reads the whole response, names the field a message belongs to, distinguishes an unreachable server, a timeout, an oversized upload and a server error from a rejected form, and points at the specific contract link that failed.

The project one-liner now comes before the description in the application.

Every Explorer page also carried a negative margin cancelling a shell gutter these routes no longer have, so each page was wider than the viewport and scrolled sideways; that is removed, and shared layout tokens replace the per-page gutter values so the header, filters, cards and form column line up at every width.

Long project names now wrap instead of blowing out a grid track and being silently clipped, which had been hiding the status, actions and reviewer note on the project list, and the project detail page no longer collapses into a narrow column on small screens.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added clearer Explorer validation messages, including the specific contract link with invalid formatting.
    • Improved error handling for nested field errors, missing pages, timeouts, connectivity issues, and server failures.
    • Reordered the project editor so the one-line summary appears before the description.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved responsive Explorer layouts to prevent long names, slugs, and links from clipping or overflowing.
    • Standardized spacing and alignment across Explorer pages, including mobile views.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified contract URL validation and deployment error reporting in Explorer guidance.

Explorer draft saves that the server rejected could surface only a generic
"Could not save this draft", because the shared Explorer error renderer read
just the top level of the response. It now walks the whole payload, names the
field a message belongs to, and tells an unreachable server, a timeout, an
oversized upload and a server error apart from a rejected form. HTML error
pages from proxies and Django's own error handler are no longer rendered as
message text, a stock not-found body no longer exposes an internal model name,
and a rejected contract link now says which link is at fault. The project
one-liner moves ahead of the description in the application.

Every Explorer page also carried a negative margin cancelling a shell gutter
that these routes no longer have, so each page was wider than the viewport and
scrolled sideways. That is removed, and the per-page gutter values are replaced
by shared layout tokens so the header, filters, cards and form column line up at
every width. Owner-supplied project names now wrap instead of blowing out a grid
track and being silently clipped, which had been hiding the status, actions and
reviewer note on the project list, and the project detail page no longer
collapses into a single narrow column on small screens.

## Claude Implementation Notes
- frontend/src/lib/explorer.js: explorerErrorMessage recursively walks DRF
  payloads, prefixes a human field label, rejects HTML bodies and DRF's generic
  not-found detail, and falls back per HTTP status (401/403/404/409/413/429/5xx)
  plus no-response and ECONNABORTED.
- backend/explorer/validation.py: normalize_deployments prefixes each parse
  failure with "Link {n}:" so one of up to twelve links is identifiable.
- frontend/src/styles.css: add --explorer-gutter/--explorer-content/
  --explorer-band, and overflow-wrap:anywhere on the five Explorer page roots
  (anywhere, not break-word: only it shrinks intrinsic min-content size).
- frontend/src/routes/Explore*.svelte, StewardExplorer.svelte: drop the stale
  margin:-12px, replace gutter clamps and 1180px literals with the tokens, and
  remove the mobile overrides that shrank the gutter.
- frontend/src/routes/ExploreDetail.svelte: .detail-content was grouped into the
  640px rule meant for .instruction-list li, so it inherited
  grid-template-columns: 32px 1fr and rendered the description one letter per
  line; removed from that selector.
- frontend/src/routes/StewardExplorer.svelte: .review-tabs sized its padding
  from 100vw, which ignores the sidebar and scrollbar; now 100%.
- frontend/src/routes/ExploreEditor.svelte: one-liner section moved to 02,
  sections renumbered, progress copy reordered.
- frontend/src/tests/explorerErrorMessage.test.js: cover nested field errors,
  HTML bodies, empty bodies, generic 404s and transport failures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Explorer save validation now reports indexed deployment errors and structured frontend messages. Explorer routes share responsive layout variables and wrapping rules. The editor places the project summary before the description and updates section numbering and progress guidance.

Changes

Explorer updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation and error presentation
backend/explorer/validation.py, frontend/src/lib/explorer.js, frontend/src/tests/explorerErrorMessage.test.js
Deployment URL errors include their link number. Frontend parsing handles nested fields, status messages, HTML filtering, timeouts, and unreachable servers. Tests cover these cases.
Shared responsive Explorer layout
frontend/src/styles.css, frontend/src/routes/Explore*.svelte, frontend/src/routes/StewardExplorer.svelte
Routes use shared gutter, content, and band variables. Long content can wrap. Negative margins and superseded mobile padding overrides are removed.
Editor section ordering and release notes
frontend/src/routes/ExploreEditor.svelte, CHANGELOG.md, backend/CLAUDE.md, frontend/CLAUDE.md
The project summary appears before the description. Later sections and progress guidance are renumbered. Documentation records the validation and layout behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 283be

The Explorer layout changes leave page and header containers using clipping overflow, which can hide vertical content and interfere with sticky navigation on affected screens. The PR is not merge-ready until this behavior is corrected or explicitly accepted.

Comment thread frontend/src/routes/StewardExplorer.svelte Outdated
The Explorer page and header containers clipped with overflow:hidden, which
makes an element a scrollport. position:sticky sticks to its nearest scrollport,
so the steward review tabs were anchored to a box that never scrolls and slid
out of view with the content instead of holding at the top of the page. They
now stay pinned. The same containers no longer clip vertically either, so a
popover or focus ring that extends past a header is not silently cut off.

## Claude Implementation Notes
- frontend/src/routes/StewardExplorer.svelte, Explore.svelte,
  ExploreDetail.svelte, ExploreEditor.svelte, ExploreManage.svelte: .review-page,
  .hero, .detail-header, .editor-header and .manage-page use overflow-x: clip
  instead of overflow: hidden, per the existing rule in frontend/CLAUDE.md's
  "Common Issues & Solutions". None of the five has absolutely-positioned bleed
  to contain, so horizontal containment is all that was ever needed.
- frontend/CLAUDE.md, CHANGELOG.md: record the invariant and the fix.

Fixed in ae377e0 — the finding was valid, and it matches the rule already documented in frontend/CLAUDE.md under "Common Issues & Solutions".

Confirmed the sticky failure before changing anything. On /stewards/explorer at 1440x800, scrolling the page moved .review-tabs to top: -72px (fully off-screen) instead of holding at the header's 65px, because overflow: hidden made .review-page a scrollport and position: sticky anchors to the nearest scrollport — which never scrolls, since the real scrolling happens in <main>. After switching to overflow-x: clip the tabs hold at 65px.

All five containers now use overflow-x: clip. None of them has any absolutely-positioned child, so horizontal containment was the only thing the declaration was ever doing; the computed overflow-y goes from hidden to visible, so vertical content is no longer clipped either.

Re-checked after the change: horizontal overflow is still zero on the catalog, detail, manage and editor pages at 390 / 768 / 1440, and the editor's sticky sidebar still pins correctly.
