TailwindCSS

Skeleton Loading Layer

• Added soft and consistent skeleton effects during card pre-render and render phases to reduce jarring layout jumps
• Preview area now uses a controlled skeleton layer to prevent the "single horizontal line" collapse issue before content loads
• Lightweight overlay added for quick re-renders to make brief refreshes feel smoother

Graceful Image Fallback

• Missing or failed images now display a clean light gray visual placeholder instead of leaving broken gaps

YAML Entity List Recognition

• When pasting complete YAML configurations into the editor, entity arrays are now recognized more reliably and preserved in the config state

External Script Library Support

• Added support for importing external script libraries including Tailwind CSS (twcss), Bootstrap JS Bundle, anime.js, and other utility frameworks
• Skeleton placeholders are shown while scripts load, then smoothly transition to rendered content once ready to prevent style flashing
• Key online JS library URL: https://cdn.tailwindcss.com
• Usage: Add a scripts field to the card configuration with the external script URLs. The system loads them in order during initialization and keeps the skeleton state active until all resources are ready.

Live Hass Proxy

hass injected into <script> is now a live Proxy. Every property access (hass.states, hass.callService, etc.) transparently resolves to the latest HA object at call time. Closures, event handlers, and async callbacks no longer hold stale references.

┌─────────────────┐     set hass()     ┌──────────────┐
│  HA Frontend     │ ──────────────►  │  html-pro-card │
│  (frequent push) │                   │  this._hass    │
└─────────────────┘                   └───────┬────────┘
                                              │
                                    Proxy get(_, prop)
                                              │
                                     ┌────────▼────────┐
                                     │  script scope    │
                                     │  hass.states[id] │  ← always fresh
                                     │  hass.callService│  ← always bound
                                     └─────────────────┘

Implementation: new Proxy({}, { get: (_, prop) => { const v = self._hass[prop]; return typeof v === 'function' ? v.bind(self._hass) : v; }}). Functions are .bind()-ed to preserve this context.

Event-Driven Live Updates

New _watchedEntities + _onHassUpdate mechanism replaces polling for dynamic JS cards.

root._watchedEntities = ['light.', 'climate.living_room'];
root._onHassUpdate = () => renderUI();

Internally, _shouldUpdate() resolves watch patterns into concrete entity ID lists via _resolveWatchList(), caches the result, and performs O(1) reference comparison (oldHass.states[id] !== newHass.states[id]). The resolved list is invalidated when:

• The watch pattern array reference changes
• The total entity count in hass changes (new entities added/removed)

Overlay Auto-Delegation

Global overlay container (#html-pro-card-overlay) now has a click event listener using event delegation. Any [data-action] + [data-entity] element appended to the overlay — by any card, at any time — automatically gets toggle/turn_on/turn_off/more-info handling without manual addEventListener calls.

Domain routing in overlay matches card-internal routing:

• lock → lock/unlock based on current state
• cover → open_cover/close_cover based on current state
• button → press
• scene → turn_on
• script → script.{name}
• Others → {domain}.toggle

Overlay Ownership & Isolation

Each card instance generates a unique _instanceId on connectedCallback. The overlay variable passed to scripts is a Proxy that intercepts appendChild/append/prepend and auto-stamps each child with data-hpc-owner="${instanceId}".

On disconnectedCallback, only elements matching the card's own _instanceId are removed — other cards' overlay content is preserved.

Card A overlay content:  <div data-hpc-owner="hpc_a3k2m1">...</div>
Card B overlay content:  <div data-hpc-owner="hpc_x9f4j2">...</div>
                         ↑ Card A disconnect only removes hpc_a3k2m1

Previous behavior (overlay.innerHTML = '') wiped all cards' content on any single card disconnect — this is now fixed.

Overlay Container Fix

Removed overflow: hidden from the global overlay container CSS. Child elements with overflow: auto (e.g., scrollable popup sheets) now scroll correctly.

Removed Global Close Button

The red circle close button (#claw-overlay-close) that auto-appeared at bottom-right is removed. Cards are responsible for their own close UI within overlay content.

Bug Fixes

• lock domain toggle: lock → unlock when locked, lock when unlocked
• cover domain toggle: close_cover when open/opening, open_cover otherwise
• Function binding in Proxy: hass.callService() and other methods now have correct this context via .bind(self._hass)
• root.hass exposed: set hass() now syncs this._rootElement.hass = hass for direct access

claw union

What's New

Unified Border Radius

• All ha-card elements now enforce 10px border-radius on creation.
• Content CSS border-radius values are auto-normalized to 10px at runtime.
• Eliminates inconsistent card corner styles across dashboards.

Overlay Close Button

• A persistent close button (bottom-right) appears automatically when overlay content is active.
• One click clears all overlay effects and temporary elements.
• Page navigation (location-changed) also clears all overlay content.
• Browser refresh naturally removes everything — all effects are purely temporary.

window.claw API

• New global API available inside card <script> blocks.
• Service calls: claw.callService(), claw.toggle(), claw.press() with smart domain mapping.
• State access: claw.state(), claw.states() with optional filtering.
• Navigation: claw.navigate(), claw.moreInfo().
• Communication: claw.fire(), claw.ws() for raw WebSocket messaging.
• DOM utilities: claw.el() for element creation, claw.remove(), claw.deepQuery/deepQueryAll for shadow DOM traversal, claw.inject() for CSS injection.
• Utility: claw.wait(), claw.hass().

Version Tag

• Added HTML_PRO_CARD_VERSION constant (3.3.0) at file top.
• Console prints version badge on load for easy identification.
• Editor header displays current version dynamically.
• Prevents stale cache issues by making version visible.
