Raw Blame History

Why

The Headquarter web app is currently unusable on mobile devices. Critical workflows—starting and stopping sessions, viewing instance status, and making small configuration adjustments—are blocked by desktop-oriented layouts, missing touch targets, and broken responsive behavior. Since users perform real work through terminal sessions (already mobile-optimized) and session management, the core app shell and key pages must be at least functional on phones.

What Changes

Mobile navigation: Replace horizontal scroll nav with bottom tab bar on mobile breakpoints
Session management mobile layout: Redesign session cards for touch, add swipe actions, ensure all controls are reachable
Dashboard mobile view: Simplify summary cards, optimize quick actions for touch
Responsive forms: Stack multi-column forms vertically on mobile, ensure touch targets ≥ 44px
Mobile-optimized dialogs: Ensure all dialogs fit within 320px viewport, add scroll when needed
Page headers: Add consistent back buttons and contextual action bars on mobile
Touch feedback: Add active states and loading indicators for all interactive elements
Graceful degradation: Complex admin pages (Tool Workshop, Config Profiles) get read-first mobile views with edit capability
