fix(ui): outline the match markers instead of filling them - #154
Conversation
The `match …` labels carried the same solid amber as the highlighted words. That was right while a row had at most one of them (#139); #152 made a row carry up to four — `match #N` plus path, assistant, and recap or reply — and at that count the labels compete with the text they point at, and cannot be told apart from it. They are now amber outlined pills, the shape every other badge on the row already uses (PR, account, terminal), so solid amber means exactly one thing: text the query matched. The `id 4ed7505a` marker follows, keeping the 3px corner of the badges beside it on that line. `display` stays inline: an inline border costs no line height and is not clipped by the line's `overflow: hidden`, while inline-block adds 2-8px per row. Measured across four rows of chips, 2026-09-08. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Reported after using #152: the
match …labels are hard to tell apart from the matched text, and they make the row noisy.Why
The label and the highlight were the same solid amber. That was a deliberate choice in #139, and it was right then: a row carried at most one
match #N, so the chip and the highlighted words read as a single "search found this here" system.#152 changed the count. A row can now carry up to four labels at once —
match #Nplusmatch path,match assistant, andmatch recapormatch reply(the last two are mutually exclusive) — plus theid 4ed7505amarker on line 1. At four or five solid amber blocks per row, the rationale inverts: the labels compete with the thing they point at, and "is this orange a field name or matched text?" has no answer at a glance.The two have different jobs. The highlight says where in the text the query hit and has to be findable inside a line. The label says which field this line is and is read once. Same fill for both puts them on the same attention layer.
What changed
SNIPPET_MARKER_STYLEbecomes an outlined pill: text#e0b060, border1px solid rgba(245, 185, 66, 0.5), transparent background,border-radius: 9px. The hue stays, so the label is still visibly part of the search system; the weight goes. Thematch …labels are amber-outlined pills from here on.This is the badge language the row already speaks. Every other badge on a session row is outlined with a transparent background:

id 4ed7505amarker takes the same amber outline but keepsborder-radius: 3px, the corner of the badges it sits among on line 1, rather than the snippet lines' pill.Not touched: the search highlight itself (still solid amber — that is the point), and the header's scope chips (
only,● live,by match), which are interactive toggles rather than per-row labels and appear one at a time.Verification

The line'soverflow: hiddendoes not clip an inline border — checked at 4× zoom, the pill is whole top and bottom.switcher-ui.tsx, four variants side by side (solid / amber outline / amber outline plus a faint fill / neutral outline).tscclean, 191 tests pass. No test covers styles.SNIPPET_MARKER_STYLEstated the old "deliberately the same amber" reasoning and now states the new one with the count that changed it, so the next reader does not undo this as a bug.prettier/prettierfindings. That JSX block is not prettier-formatted onmaineither (1803 findings in the file, and every line in the range I touched already had one), so formatting it would reflow ~1k unrelated lines.src/switcher-ui.tsx. It works on the launch path; this change is a style constant near the top of the file plus the id marker, so a conflict is unlikely, and trivial if it happens.What to test by hand
