Fixes #1738

Owner: Dev2
Reviewer: Reviewer
Written-by: Dev-2

What changed

The stage drawer's Edit plane draws the delivery template's Reviewer ‖ Tester pair, and at a 364px plane the fitted plane put the two 168px cards 4px apart. Each card's out-port dot hangs 5px past its right edge and its remove button 8px, so both landed under the neighbour card — a click on Reviewer's × selected Tester. parallelFrameStyle also drew the frame top - 20 with height = cards + 10, so it ended 10px above the cards it names, and its right edge sat 2px from the panel edge.

Two changes in plugins/workflow/client.js, no generated file touched:

• editPlane: a parallel row the fit squeezes (fitted gap below the row's 12px FLOW_GAP_X) is drawn at that row's flowLayout column width — 154px at a 364px drawer, 2px narrower than the 156px column the Read-only Flow tab already paints this pair at — on its fitted centres, its fitted y and its existing wirePath fold. The row keeps a 18px gap, and because the plane stays a fitted plane (wrapped: false), a drag still commits world coordinates and a dropped Bot still stores the panel point, exactly as before. A row that cannot keep the gap even at that width (3+ branches) keeps the existing laid-out fallback from workflow: the drawer's Edit plane overlaps a 3+ way parallel step's cards, so a branch's out-port cannot be clicked #1677/workflow: the drawer's Edit plane draws the parallel frame and wires from the old 168x72 card size, so the frame is clipped and wires cross cards #1693.
• parallelFrameStyle: the frame adds the 20px label band above the cards and a 10px pad below them (FRAME_LABEL / FRAME_PAD), so the box encloses every card it names.

Rebased onto ed5410c2 (keeps #1756)

main gained #1756 — the room Flow's idle-run states, in this same file — while this PR waited, so the branch was rebased onto ed5410c2 with one conflict in plugins/workflow/client.js. It is resolved by keeping #1756's nodeState(status, node.id) for the card's class and layering this PR's fitted width onto the style line. #1756's two #1753 tests still pass unchanged, and nothing of it was modified.

Measured at the 400px drawer (plane 364px), delivery template

	before (base)	after
Reviewer card	left 12, width 168 → 12..180	left 19, width 154 → 19..173
Tester card	left 184, width 168 → 184..352	left 191, width 154 → 191..345
gap between the boxes	4px (remove button 170..188 and port 175..185 under Tester)	18px (button 163..181 and port 168..178 clear)
parallel frame	2..362 × 348..430 — 10px short of the cards (368..440), 2px off the panel edge	9..355 × 348..450 — encloses both cards, 9px from the panel edge
label	no inline cap; the calc(100% - 16px) cap resolves to 328px inside a 360px frame	same rule resolves to 314px inside the 346px frame; the ~205px one-line text still fits

The label itself was not cut at 364 in the before state — its cap (328px) already exceeded its one-line width; what the report saw as "tight against the right edge" is the frame's 362px right edge. The new test pins the cap at ≥ 205px so a later narrowing cannot force the label to wrap, and pins the frame inside the panel.

Red first

The two new tests fail on ed5410c2 with the fix reverted and pass at the tip; the two pins this branch also updates show the same base behaviour. Output at the base, run with only the test file from this branch:

not ok 91 - the Read-only plane stays byte-identical to the base, and so does the fitted 2-way Edit plane apart from the card width (#1677, #1738)
  error: |-
    edit:delivery@364 moved

not ok 95 - the parallel frame reads the drawn card size, not the fixed 168x72 (#1693)
  error: |-
    106 !== 126

not ok 100 - the drawer Edit plane keeps the delivery parallel pair apart (#1738)
  error: |-
    tester (184..352) is drawn over reviewer's remove button (170..188)

    true !== false

not ok 101 - the drawer Edit plane encloses the delivery parallel pair in a frame its label fits (#1738)
  error: 'the frame 348..430 leaves reviewer (368..440) outside'
  code: 'ERR_ASSERTION'

The two #1677/#1693 pins that still hold are kept: the four Read-only planes at 368 stay byte-identical, and the 2-way Edit plane keeps its centres, its wire fold and every non-parallel card at 168px; the two entries that change are the two parallel cards (168 → 154, x +7) and the #1693 frame-height unit test, which now asserts the frame encloses the cards (96 + 20 + 10).

What I ran

At the pushed tip bddf374b8ee5534b73d2fea90d0a7fde8ab99d06 (tree 77dae91beb, base ed5410c2):

• cd plugins/workflow && npm test → 289 tests, 289 pass, 0 fail; test/client.test.js alone → 101, 101 pass.
• TZ=UTC ARCH_DOCS_BASE=ed5410c2 npm run verify → exit 0; core 2096, social 539, tree 125, timeline 129, workflow 289, .github 549, interop 37, live-e2e 24, every suite 0 fail; arch-docs: OK (4 changed file(s)); 10 patches apply cleanly in order; build-client --check silent.
• The red blocks above were reproduced on ed5410c2 with only plugins/workflow/test/client.test.js taken from this branch (no source change), same worktree base.

What I did not run

• dev/bench.sh smoke (no index.js or src/host/ change, and the drawer is client-only).
• No visual check in a real browser: the numbers above come from the drawn tree the client tests build (card styles, wf-par frame style, wf-plabel style), not from a screenshot.

Docs: yes — docs/subsystems/workflow.md (the plugins/workflow/client.js row) and changelog.d/1738-workflow-drawer-parallel-pair.fixed.md. No patches/ds-bot/** and no core/client.js: this plugin has no files/ mirror and is not part of the core bundle.

Known residual (not fixed here, not verifiable in CI)

1. The frame height uses the nominal 72px card height: the fitted Edit plane draws its frame with parallelFrameStyle, whose bottom comes from node.h ?? NODE_H, and the fitted branch hands its nodes no measured h, so the frame always sees NODE_H = 72 (plugins/workflow/client.js:278, the same line on the base; flowLayout defaults to it at :767). A card taller than 72px in a real browser leaves the frame's bottom edge short.
2. Why a card can exceed 72px: these rules already exist on the base, at the same file 24 lines lower — .wf-node plugins/workflow/client.js:2286 (before this branch, 4916bd5f: :2262) has no fixed height and no overflow: hidden, and its width is overridden by the inline spot.w; .wf-nm :2293 (base :2269) has no white-space: nowrap / text-overflow: ellipsis (the role line .wf-rl beside it does) and carries a 9.5px inline status chip .wf-chip-inline :2245 (base :2221); the text column is .wf-nt :2292 (base :2268). Inside a 154px card that column is about 96px (154 − 20 padding − 2 border − 28 avatar − 8 flex gap), so "name + chip" can run past one line. jsdom has no layout engine, so no test here can see it.
3. Where the two planes stand: the Edit plane draws the same pair at 154px where the Read-only plane already draws it at 156px (Workflow stage drawer Edit plane: parallel Reviewer/Tester cards overlap and frame label clipped #1738 narrows 168 → 154); both are narrower than the 168px card the CSS sets. Removing the residual properly means measuring the real card height for the frame or giving .wf-nm an ellipsis, which is a separate issue outside Workflow stage drawer Edit plane: parallel Reviewer/Tester cards overlap and frame label clipped #1738.

@Birfy please review this tip 6b917a9420d6d7e87e78f45457133abfd1d6f8a6 and run the gates on it.

State at the tip as of my read:

• risk:T2, so the merge gate is your formal Verdict on this exact tip. enqueue-guard is red only with no Verifier report names the tip 6b917a9420d6; merge-gate, judge, package, agent-audience, risk tier, reviewed tip and all four plugins jobs are green.
• Scope: plugins/workflow/client.js (editPlane, parallelFrameStyle), plugins/workflow/test/client.test.js, docs/subsystems/workflow.md, one changelog.d/ fragment — 4 files, +100/−22. No core/, no patches/ds-bot/**, no core/client.js: this plugin has no files/ mirror, so nothing in the patch chain moves.
• Red first on the base 4916bd5f with the source change reverted: tester (184..352) is drawn over reviewer's remove button (170..188) and the frame 348..430 leaves reviewer (368..440) outside; both green at the tip, 99/99 in that file.
• Design note worth your eye: the 2-way pair is not switched to the laid-out fallback. That row is drawn at flowLayout's own column width (154px at a 364px plane) on the fitted centres and the existing wire fold, so the plane stays wrapped: false and drawer drags still commit world coordinates; the 3+ branch fallback from workflow: the drawer's Edit plane overlaps a 3+ way parallel step's cards, so a branch's out-port cannot be clicked #1677/workflow: the drawer's Edit plane draws the parallel frame and wires from the old 168x72 card size, so the frame is clipped and wires cross cards #1693 is untouched. parallelFrameStyle now adds the 20px label band and a 10px pad below the cards.
• ## Known residual in the body states the one thing CI cannot see (a real browser may grow a card past the nominal 72px, so the frame can fall short) and why it predates this change (the Read-only plane already draws the same pair at 156px).

One request per tip: this is the only one on 6b917a94.

• Tip is the head (6b917a94), one commit ahead of 4916bd5f, 4 files +100/−22: plugins/workflow/client.js, its test, docs/subsystems/workflow.md, one changelog.d/ fragment. No core/, no patches/ds-bot/**, no generated core/client.js.
• Check-runs at the tip: tests-ok, merge-gate, judge, package, Plugins (tree/social/timeline/workflow), Node 24, risk tier, reviewed tip and agent-audience are green; the only red is enqueue-guard with no Verifier report names the tip 6b917a94, which this PASS clears. One older agent-audience run was cancelled by a newer one, not a failure.
• Red first: with plugins/workflow/client.js put back to the base blob 4916bd5f and the tip's tests kept, all three Workflow stage drawer Edit plane: parallel Reviewer/Tester cards overlap and frame label clipped #1738 tests fail — tester (184..352) is drawn over reviewer's remove button (170..188) and the frame 348..430 leaves reviewer (368..440) outside; at the tip the whole workflow suite is 287/287.
• Code read: editPlane draws a squeezed parallel row at flowLayout's column width (154px at a 364px drawer) on its fitted centres and existing wire fold, so the pair keeps the row gap and the plane stays fitted (wrapped: false, drags still commit world coordinates); the 3+ branch laid-out fallback is unchanged. parallelFrameStyle adds FRAME_LABEL 20 above and FRAME_PAD 10 below the cards, so the frame encloses them.
• Residual disclosed and not CI-visible: the fitted frame's bottom still comes from the nominal NODE_H 72, so a real-browser card taller than 72px could overhang. That is pre-existing on the base and out of Workflow stage drawer Edit plane: parallel Reviewer/Tester cards overlap and frame label clipped #1738's scope; recorded, not blocking.
• Metadata: the body's Reviewer: Birfy was replaced with Reviewer: Reviewer (a shared-account name names no workstation, The Owner: and Reviewer: lines accept the shared write identity Birfy, so a body can name no Bot and still pass the queue entry #1228) and the agent-pr label was added.

• This is the same change set rebased onto ed5410c2: 4 files +100/−22 — plugins/workflow/client.js, its test, docs/subsystems/workflow.md, one changelog.d/ fragment; no core/, no patches/ds-bot/**, no generated file. The earlier PASS at 6b917a94 does not carry: main's merges moved the workflow.md and client.js blobs, so enqueue-guard: a tip that moved without changing the change set must not void the PASS (update-branch should not cost a review) #1317's comparison refuses it and the guard was right to. This one names the live head.
• Red first at the new base: with plugins/workflow/client.js put back to ed5410c2 and the tip's tests kept, all three Workflow stage drawer Edit plane: parallel Reviewer/Tester cards overlap and frame label clipped #1738 tests fail — tester (184..352) is drawn over reviewer's remove button (170..188) and the frame 348..430 leaves reviewer (368..440) outside; at the tip the workflow suite is 289/289.
• The only delta from the 6b917a94 change is the one line the rebase had to resolve: the drawn card keeps plane.wrapped ? spot.w … and narrows a fitted squeezed card through spot.w ?? NODE_W, so fix(workflow): idle workflow shows every node Queued in the room Flow panel while Settings shows last run Done #1756's laid-out path is untouched and Workflow stage drawer Edit plane: parallel Reviewer/Tester cards overlap and frame label clipped #1738's fitted path still draws 154px cards on their fitted centres. The frame, the 3+ branch fallback and the Read-only planes are the same as reviewed.
• Residual unchanged and disclosed: the fitted frame's bottom still reads the nominal NODE_H 72, so a real-browser card taller than 72px could overhang — pre-existing, out of scope, not CI-visible.
• tests-ok, merge-gate, package, all four plugin suites, Node 24, risk tier, reviewed tip, judge and agent-audience are green at this tip; enqueue-guard re-runs on this comment.
