+/**
+ * How every listing on the dashboard pages, sizes and spaces itself.
+ *
+ * THE OFFERED SET IS CLOSED, NOT MERELY CAPPED, and that is the difference between a control and a
+ * suggestion. `?size=` arrives in a URL an operator can hand-edit, and the honest answers to "give me
+ * 19 999 rows" are a cap or a refusal — a cap silently renders a page nobody asked for, so this refuses and
+ * falls back to the configured default. The set is also what the rows-per-page `<select>` renders, so the
+ * configured default is ALWAYS a member of it: a `<select>` whose current value has no `<option>` shows the
+ * first option instead, and submitting the form then resizes the table the operator was reading.
+ *
+ * `max-height` IS INTERPOLATED INTO THE STYLESHEET, as the `--table-vh` custom property the scroll container
+ * reads, which makes it the one key on this object that is not merely wrong when it is wrong. A value is
+ * matched against a length pattern and refused outright rather than escaped, because there is no escaping
+ * that makes `70vh;}body{display:none` safe inside a `<style>` element — the parser has already left the
+ * declaration by the time any entity would be decoded. `none` is admitted on purpose: it is how a deployment
+ * turns the scrollport, and with it the sticky header, off.
+ *
+ * The ceiling is `DataBrowserSettings::PAGE_SIZE_CEILING`'s, repeated rather than imported: the browser's
+ * cap exists because one request can materialise a table into PHP memory, and this one exists because one
+ * page can render a hundred thousand `<tr>`s into a response. Same number, different failure, and a shared
+ * constant would tie the two to each other for no reason beyond their agreeing today.

+ * the file literally starts with it, and give up otherwise. `str_starts_with` is exactly the wrong test for
+ * this job, because naming one directory two ways is routine — /var/www symlinked to a release directory, a
+ * bind mount inside a container, a test harness whose base path is a vendored application while the frames
+ * name the repository it was booted from. In every one of those the prefix misses and NOTHING is shortened,
+ * so a hundred trace rows each print /Users/…/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Routing/Route.php,
+ * wrap onto three lines at an 87-pixel pitch, and a 500 page measures 10,108 pixels tall. That is not a
+ * styling problem and no amount of collapsing frames fixes it.
+ *
+ * THREE ANSWERS, CHEAPEST FIRST. The literal prefix (a normal deployment: no syscall at all). The prefix
+ * normalised through realpath(), computed ONCE for the base rather than once per frame (the symlink, the
+ * bind mount). And the roots the trace reveals about ITSELF: everything before a `/vendor/` segment is a
+ * Composer project root whatever the application believes its base path to be, which rescues the harness
+ * case with no configuration and no filesystem access. Whatever survives all three is cut at the last
+ * `/vendor/`, because from there on a path IS the dependency's identity.
+ *
+ * NOTHING HERE HIDES ANYTHING. Every answer is a PREFIX removal: the path printed is the same path with the
+ * part every row shares taken off the front. A reader who needs the absolute name puts the project root
+ * back; a reader who needs the file sees the file, on one line, undamaged.

+/**
+ * One listing's position in its own data: which page, how many rows, ordered by what, narrowed by what —
+ * and, the half that matters, how to write the URL of a NEIGHBOURING position.
+ *
+ * This is Spring Data's `Pageable` with the web layer's `PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver` folded into
+ * it, and the qualifier is the same idea `@Qualifier("pos") Pageable` gives a controller that resolves two
+ * of them: the parameter names become `pos_page`, `pos_sort`, and two listings can share a page without
+ * paging each other.
+ *
+ * EVERY LINK IS REBUILT FROM PARSED VALUES. The views this replaces concatenated four strings —
+ * `$keepFilter`, `$keepSearch`, `$keepSize`, `$keepSort` — into every href, with a comment beside them
+ * asking the next author not to forget one. That is a contract no reviewer can hold: a sort link that
+ * dropped the filter widens the listing back to every row, which reads as rows appearing from nowhere, and
+ * nothing fails when it happens. Here the state lives in one place, `link()` is the only way out, and an
+ * override names a parameter rather than editing a string.
+ *
+ * DEFAULTS ARE OMITTED, DELIBERATELY. `/firefly/mappings` is the URL of an unsorted first page, not
+ * `/firefly/mappings?page=1&size=50&sort=path&dir=asc`. A URL that spells out its defaults is a URL that
+ * cannot be shortened by hand, and it also pins the defaults: a bookmark taken today would keep rendering
+ * 50 rows after an operator set `page-size` to 100.
+ *
+ * EVERY BOUND IS APPLIED HERE, NOT DOWNSTREAM. The page is clamped low and never redirected — answering 302
+ * to a bookmark is how the back button stops working — the size must be one the settings OFFER, the sort
+ * column must be one the caller published (an unknown one is dropped, never quoted into an ORDER BY), the
+ * direction is `desc` only for that exact string, and the search term is trimmed and length-capped so the
+ * URL cannot carry a kilobyte into a LIKE.

Subject: [PATCH 04/78] fix(web): derive error-page roots from the outermost
 vendor segment
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

roots() read the LAST `/vendor/` in every frame, so a dependency that
ships its own nested vendor directory contributed a root pointing INSIDE
vendor/ — `<project>/vendor/symplify/monorepo-builder/`. shorten()
deliberately prefers the longest matching root, so that root beat the
real project root and the package's own frames printed as bare
`src/Builder.php`: an application-looking path on a row still dimmed as
vendor, with ErrorFrame::package() answering null. It also broke the one
promise the class makes — the prefix removed was shared by no other row,
so no reader could put the absolute name back.

The root is now taken at the FIRST vendor segment. The markers carry a
leading separator, so strpos cannot be fooled by a directory merely named
`my-vendor`, which is the only reason strrpos was there; shorten()'s
fallback keeps strrpos, where the last vendor segment IS the dependency's
identity.

Covered by a test that builds a real nested-vendor tree, throws through
it, and asserts the derived root is the project root while both frames
keep their `vendor/` prefix.

+ * Every page of this dashboard except the data browser reads an actuator endpoint IN-PROCESS and gets back
+ * an array — 207 conditions, several hundred beans, the whole flattened environment. There is no query
+ * planner to push any of this into, so the work happens here; what changes is WHERE it happens. It used to
+ * happen in the browser: the complete list was rendered into every response and a keyup handler hid rows.
+ * That is fine for eleven rows, it is a 400KB response and a visibly janky filter at two hundred, and the
+ * "12 of 207" readout it produces is a statement about the DOM rather than about the application.
+ *
+ * THE TIEBREAK IS NOT OPTIONAL. Ordering by a column with duplicate values leaves the rows that tie in
+ * whatever order the payload happened to have, and the payload is rebuilt per request — so page 2 can
+ * re-order the block that straddles the page boundary, showing a row twice and another never. A second,
+ * always-ascending key over something unique (the class, the path, the correlation id) removes the freedom.
+ * It stays ascending under a descending sort on purpose: it is an identity, not a second ordering, and
+ * mirroring it would make the tie order depend on the direction it was breaking a tie inside.
+ *
+ * NULL AND EMPTY SORT LAST, in both directions, so a nullable column does not bury its values under a block

Subject: [PATCH 06/78] fix(web): spell error-page base roots with both
 separators, so Windows frames shorten
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

roots() built the base-path root as rtrim($basePath, '/\\').'/' — it accepted
either separator but always appended a forward slash. ErrorPageRenderer feeds it
Application::basePath(), which on Windows is C:\srv\app, while PHP reports trace
files as C:\srv\app\Http\Controllers\OrderController.php, so the root was the
mixed string C:\srv\app/ that no path on that machine can start with. Both of
the first two answers the class advertises — the literal prefix and its
realpath()-normalised twin — were dead by construction there, and the three
lines of str_starts_with that ErrorReport used to carry returned
Http\Controllers\OrderController.php for the same input, so this was behaviour
dropped rather than a case never covered.

It failed invisibly because the third answer, the root derived from a \vendor\
segment, is spelled by the frame itself and survived: every Laravel trace passes
through framework frames, so the dimmed dependency rows shortened while the
application rows — the ones that carry excerpts and are the reason the page
exists — each printed an absolute path and wrapped. That is the 10,108-pixel
page this class was written to end, inverted onto the other platform.

Both spellings are now contributed instead of one being guessed. shorten() skips
any root that does not prefix the file, so the wrong spelling costs a failed
str_starts_with and nothing else, and the two are the same length, so neither
disturbs the longest-first ordering. Pinned by a backslash case — the file had
no backslash path at all, and CI is ubuntu-only — plus an assertion on the
realpath branch, which had the identical flaw.

Subject: [PATCH 07/78] fix(admin): rank emptiness outside the direction flip,
 and share one row comparator with the data browser
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A descending sort on a nullable column opened on a page of em-dashes — the exact failure InMemoryListing's
docblock says it prevents. compare() returned +1 for "left is empty" and order() negated that result together
with the value comparison, so `desc` mirrored the empty-last rule along with the ordering. Emptiness is now
ranked first and returned unnegated, the same way the tiebreak already sits outside the flip, and only the
comparison of two present values is negated.

The comparison itself moves to Firefly\Admin\RowComparator, which DataQueryEngine's unpaged path now shares:
the two in-PHP engines disagreed about '' and about non-scalar cells, so one column header meant two orders on
two pages of one dashboard — the drift DataQueryEngine's own search-filter comment warns about. Its GT/LT
filter keeps comparing without an empty rank, because its paged sibling is `where(col, '>', ?)` in SQL.

The test whose name promised both directions asserted only the ascending one, which is why this shipped green;
it now pins the descending page and the tail where the em-dashes belong, and the data browser gets the same
assertion through the real browser pipeline.

+/**
+ * ONE ordering predicate for every table this dashboard sorts in PHP.
+ *
+ * Two surfaces do that sorting. The actuator listings go through `Table\InMemoryListing`, because a payload
+ * that arrived as an array from an in-process endpoint has no query planner to push the work into. The data
+ * browser goes through `Data\DataQueryEngine`'s unpaged fallback, for a repository that cannot page and must
+ * therefore be ordered and sliced after `findAll()`. Different callers, different payloads — and that is
+ * exactly why the comparison itself lives in one place. DataQueryEngine already says this about its search
+ * filter: "two implementations of one predicate would drift, and the drift would show as the same filter
+ * meaning different things on different resources". A sort drifts the same way and is harder to notice: the
+ * same gesture, a click on a column header, quietly answers differently on /firefly/beans than on
+ * /firefly/data, and nothing fails.
+ *
+ * EMPTINESS IS A RANK, NOT A VALUE, AND IT IS DECIDED BEFORE THE DIRECTION IS APPLIED. `null` and `''` both
+ * render as an em-dash: they are the ABSENCE of an answer rather than an answer that happens to sort low, so
+ * they belong at the END of a listing in BOTH directions. Folding that into the value comparison — returning
+ * 1 for "left is empty" and then negating the whole result for `desc` — mirrors the emptiness along with the
+ * ordering, and a descending sort on a nullable column then opens on a page of em-dashes: the rows the
+ * operator asked to see pushed past the fold by the rows that have nothing to show. Callers therefore rank
+ * emptiness with `rankEmpty()` FIRST, return that result unnegated, and negate only what `compare()` says
+ * about two values that are both present. It is the same reasoning that keeps InMemoryListing's tiebreak
+ * ascending under a descending sort: neither emptiness nor identity is a second ordering.
+ *
+ * The one thing this deliberately does NOT do is decide where empties sit in a FILTER. `greater than` on the
+ * unpaged path compares with `compare()` alone, because its paged sibling is `where(col, '>', ?)` in SQL,
+ * where the empty string is simply the smallest string; ranking empties last there would make the same filter
+ * mean two things depending on whether the repository could page.

Subject: [PATCH 09/78] fix(admin): compare the scalar string, not the raw
 value, in the unpaged gt/lt filter
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Sharing RowComparator with the data browser's unpaged path also changed what `greater than` and `less than`
mean there, which was never in that change's scope. RowComparator renders a value for a READER, so a bool
reaches the comparison as the word `true` or `false`; a word is not numeric, so the pair falls to the natural
text comparison, where `t` and `f` sort after every digit. On a boolean column `greater than 0` therefore
matched EVERY row and `less than 1` none, while the paged sibling `where(col, '>', ?)` bound the bool as 1/0
and answered correctly — one filter in one URL meaning opposite things depending only on whether the
repository could page. That is precisely the drift the docblock on compare() cites as its own justification.

passes() now hands compare() the scalar string it has already computed. `(string) true` is `'1'` and
`(string) false` is `''` — the shapes the driver binds — so every scalar compares exactly as it did before the
comparator was shared, and compare() narrows its parameters to `string` so a raw value cannot return.

The filter had no test over a boolean column, which is why this shipped green; the new case drives gt and lt
over one on the in-PHP resource and over the Eloquent-paged resource, and asserts the two engines agree.

Subject: [PATCH 11/78] fix(admin): choose the row comparison once per column,
 so a mixed column sorts the same every time
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

RowComparator::compare() chose between arithmetic and natural-text comparison per PAIR, which is not a
strict weak ordering on a column that holds both: with 1.10, 1.9 and 1.9-beta the relation closes a cycle
(1.10 < 1.9 as numbers, 1.9 < 1.9-beta and 1.9-beta < 1.10 as text), and usort() then answers differently
depending on the order the payload arrived in. That is the unstable page InMemoryListing's tiebreak exists
to prevent, reached through the primary comparison where a tiebreak cannot run.

The choice is now made once for the whole column by RowComparator::forColumn(), which both engines that sort
in PHP ask for: InMemoryListing (for the sort column and for the tiebreak, itself a column) and
DataQueryEngine's unpaged fallback. Arithmetic only when every value in the column is a number, empties
aside — they are ranked out before any comparison and are the smallest text under either rule — and
otherwise natural text for every pair. compare() stays the pairwise rule for the gt/lt filter, which holds
one cell against one typed operand and has no column to be consistent with.

+ * An ordered set of columns, and the `<colgroup>` widths computed from them.
+ *
+ * WHY THE WIDTHS ARE COMPUTED AT ALL, rather than declared per class in the stylesheet. Under
+ * `table-layout:fixed` a column with no declared width takes an equal share of whatever is left, which is
+ * the behaviour that makes a `Name` column as wide as a fully-qualified class name. Under `table-layout:
+ * auto` — which is what every table on this dashboard had, because none of them declared anything — the
+ * column widths are derived from the CONTENT, and that is worse: `overflow-wrap:anywhere` contributes its
+ * break opportunities to min-content sizing, so a path's minimum width becomes ONE GLYPH and the layout
+ * engine cheerfully gives it three characters and hands the slack to the neighbour. Declaring every width
+ * is the only way to stop both, and declaring every width means computing the flexible ones.
+ *
+ * THE ARITHMETIC. Rigid columns are `<n>ch` plus both of their cell paddings, because `box-sizing` is
+ * `border-box` on this page: `width:7.5ch` on a padded cell is 7.5 characters INCLUDING the padding, which
+ * is about 34px of content and clips the verb `DELETE`. `--row-x` is published on `:root` by the layout
+ * from TableSettings, and a custom property inherits into `<col>` like any other, so the `calc()` resolves
+ * against whatever density the deployment configured. Flexible columns then split `100%` minus the sum of
+ * those rigid widths, in proportion to their weights. Mixing `%` and `ch` inside one `calc()` is legal and
+ * resolves at used-value time against the table's own width.
+ *
+ * `ch` IS A MONOSPACE ADVANCE HERE, ON PURPOSE. `ch` resolves against the `<col>`'s own font, which
+ * inherits from `<table>` — 13px sans — while the cells these widths are sized for are 12.5px mono. The
+ * sheet therefore sets `table.ftable colgroup{font:12.5px var(--mono)}` so that every number in this class

From 7462d24d9011229af26f87838325b3b787414de2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Andres Contreras <andres.contreras@soon.es>
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 14:51:27 -0700
Subject: [PATCH 13/78] fix(web): trim the whitespace a deployment pads an
 error-page URL with, instead of dropping the link
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The guard refused any value containing a tab, LF or CR ANYWHERE, so a support URL arriving as
"https://support.acme.test\n" became '' — the link silently disappeared, with no exception and no log, for
a character no reader ever sees. The trigger is precisely the mechanism the method's own docblock names as
the source of these values: a Helm block scalar and a here-doc-rendered variable both end in a newline, and
Laravel's Env does not trim a REAL environment variable the way Dotenv trims a .env line. The stated
principle — that a value the browser will re-read differently must be dropped rather than normalised — does
not reach the edges: the URL standard strips every leading and trailing C0 control and space BEFORE it
parses, so boundary padding is re-read as exactly the value the guard would have allowed. The rule is right
for the INTERIOR, which is what makes `java<TAB>script:` an attack, and overshot at the edges, where a
trailing SPACE was already being kept verbatim while the newline spelling of the same padding was fatal.

The edges are now trimmed and every refusal is about the interior. That gives up no ground: each hostile
value trims into another one the guard already refuses (" //evil.test" into "//evil.test", "\0/\evil.test"
into "/\evil.test", "\tjavascript:…" into "javascript:…"). A test asserts both halves together — a
newline-padded https URL is KEPT, "/log<TAB>in" is still refused — so the two can never be conflated again.

+ * The dashboard capstone, given a route table worth listing.
+ *
+ * AdminCapstoneTestCase boots no application controllers, so its RouteManifest is EMPTY and
+ * `/firefly/mappings` renders the "No routes mapped" empty state — which proves the empty state and
+ * nothing else. A listing that pages, sorts and searches has to be asserted against rows, so this subclass
+ * binds the manifest itself: the same seam WebServiceProvider binds when a scan or a compiled artifact
+ * produced one, so MappingsEndpoint, AdminAction, the view and the router all see exactly what they would
+ * see in an application. Bound in defineFireflyEnvironment, which Testbench runs while the application is
+ * being created — before WebServiceProvider::register() asks `bound()` — so this instance wins rather than
+ * racing the scanner.
+ *
+ * The rows MIRROR THE SKELETON'S OWN CONTROLLERS, because tests/Browser/AdminTablesTest.php drives the
+ * shipped skeleton in Chromium and asserts the same facts in pixels: `/greetings/{name}` (the path that
+ * rendered as six stacked lines), `DELETE /orders/{id}` (the verb that clipped), and a handful of orders
+ * routes for `?q=orders` to narrow to. Two assertions about one application beat two applications.

Subject: [PATCH 16/78] fix(web): withhold the 404 sentences Laravel itself
 generates, and state the page's disclosure contract once
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`authoredDetail()` was publishing framework-generated 404 messages as if an author had written them.
`httpMessage()` replaced only the router's "The route … could not be found.", but
Handler::prepareException() rewrites a ModelNotFoundException and a BackedEnumCaseNotFoundException into
`new NotFoundHttpException($e->getMessage(), $e)` BEFORE renderViaCallbacks() reaches this package's
renderable, so a missed route binding — the most ordinary 404 an application has — put "No query results
for model [App\Models\Order] 42" into problem+json's `detail` and onto the report the production page
reads as its lede. The rule is added where the router's already lives, so one branch fixes both surfaces,
and the docblock names each shape's provenance.

ErrorPageSettings stated the disclosure contract two contradictory ways: the class docblock said production
with `trace` off sees the status, reason and code and explicitly "not the message", while the new
`authored-detail` property two screens below defaulted to true and claimed the page prints a sentence. The
"WHAT PRODUCTION SEES" paragraph now carves out the one exception and names its gate, and the property
comment describes what the REPORT carries rather than page behaviour that arrives in a later task.

Subject: [PATCH 17/78] test(admin): cover the pager's paged branch and make
 the page clamp observable
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The pager's paged branch — the page window, Previous/Next, the first/last jumps, the gaps and the on/off
classes — never rendered under test. AdminTableCapstoneTestCase seeds seven routes and the smallest size
the rows-per-page control offers is 25, so lastPage() was 1 and isPaged() false in every unit and browser
test; _pager.blade.php is included by one view, so nothing else covered it either. That is precisely the
third of the partial that carries listing state across a page boundary, which is the bug class this wave
exists to remove.

AdminTablePagedCapstoneTestCase gives it a fixture that pages: the skeleton's seven routes plus fourteen
filler ones, and a page size of 2 offered through firefly.admin.table.page-sizes. The size is seeded in
configOverrides() rather than set inside a test because AdminRouteRegistrar builds AdminSettings (and the
TableSettings on it) during the boot passes and binds it as an instance — a config()->set() from a test
body arrives after the object that would have read it. Twenty-one rows at two a page is eleven pages, the
smallest listing on which a five-page window has a gap and a jump on both sides at once.

AdminTablePagerTest asserts the window, the marked current page, the hrefless ends, both elisions and —
the point of the whole partial — that every page link keeps ?q= across the boundary. Four mutations were
checked against it: dropping ListingPage::pageFor(), dropping q from ListingPage::link(), widening
window()'s radius and losing the off class each turn one of the new cases red.

The clamp test was assertion-free: its only assertion was assertSee('Mappings'), which _panel-head prints
on every branch including the empty state, so deleting the clamp left the suite green. It now asserts that
the request renders rows and a pager rather than the empty state, and AdminTablePagerTest asserts which
page it landed on — a one-page listing cannot tell clamping to the last page from clamping to the first.

The three conditional class attributes in the partial became ternaries in the house style, so the markup
they emit is class="act on" rather than class="act  on " and the assertions against it are not pinned to
whitespace Blade happens to leave behind.

Subject: [PATCH 18/78] fix(web): the trace header names the untrimmed stack,
 and the reference stops promising what the page does not print yet
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The frame budget trimmed the list and the header went on counting the rows it was
left with, so a hundred-frame stack rendered as "7 of 40 in your code" with no marker
where sixty-four frames had been dropped — a label that was honest before max-frames
existed. It reads the untrimmed totals the report already carries and names them
whenever they differ from what is shown.

Two documents also claimed more than this tree does. firefly.web.error-page.authored-detail
puts the authored sentence on the report and nothing prints it: the reference and the
ErrorPageSettings class comment said the PAGE falls back to a generic sentence when the
key is off, which is what the page does either way. They now say the sentence is carried
(and read today by an application's own error view, which is handed the report), in the
voice the home/sign-in/support block already uses for values that arrive before their
renderer. ProblemMapper::instanceFor() likewise described an RFC 9457 defect as closed
while ProblemDetailsRenderer still publishes the relative form; its docblock says so, and
the method gains the direct test it never had.

Subject: [PATCH 19/78] test(admin): pin the state the two listing forms carry,
 and correct the total label's coverage claim
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The three partials left both GET forms unasserted. Deleting the hand-added
hidden `q` from the rows-per-page form, dropping the `@continue` that lets the
<select> own `size`, or removing the hiddenFields() loop from the search form
each passed all 280 admin tests — so an operator who resized a narrowed listing
got the whole listing back, and a search from a sorted page lost the ordering,
with nothing failing either time.

AdminTablePagerTest now asserts the pager form against
`?q=orders&size=2&page=2`: the hidden `q` is there, `page` is not, and
`name="size"` appears exactly once inside the form. AdminTableListingTest
asserts both forms against `?sort=path&dir=desc` and gives its
"says how many rows matched" test the count it never checked (`7 total`
unnarrowed, `5 total` narrowed).

The `_panel-head` docblock claimed tests/Browser/AdminDataBrowserTest.php
pinned its `N total` label, "which hand-rolled exactly this label before it
moved here". Nothing moved: data-list.blade.php is untouched, still hand-rolls
its own <header>, and is what those browser assertions hit. The docblock now
says so, and points at the assertions that do cover this branch — including a
new pager test that tells a grand total from a row count, which a one-page
fixture cannot.

+     * The trace, split into the frames a reader came for and the ones they came through.
+     *
+     * A raw PHP trace is a hundred frames of which ten are the application's, and interleaving them is what
+     * makes a trace something to scroll rather than something to read. So the application's frames are the
+     * LIST — accented, in stack order, the first one with source already open — and the dependencies are a
+     * single closed disclosure underneath. Nothing is hidden: the count is on both, and one click or one
+     * Enter opens the whole set.
+     *
+     * Every frame keeps its position in the UNTRIMMED stack (`#37`), so a split list still reads as a stack
+     * and a budgeted one still says where its gaps are.
+     *
      * THE HEADER COUNTS THE STACK, NOT THE ROWS. `max-frames` trims the list in the report, before any
      * markup exists, so counting what is rendered would answer "7 of 40 in your code" for a stack of 104
      * and say nothing at all about the sixty-four frames that were dropped — a label that was honest

Subject: [PATCH 21/78] fix(admin): emit a flexible column width as a
 percentage the fixed-layout algorithm can resolve
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`widths()` emitted `calc((100% - (7.5ch + 1 * 2 * var(--row-x))) * 0.4167)` for a flexible column. That
is valid CSS and is not a width: a `<col>` whose `calc()` mixes a percentage with a SUBTRACTED length is
not resolvable by the fixed-table-layout algorithm, so Chromium falls back to `auto` and every flexible
column collapses to an identical share. Measured on the Routes page: 84.4/453.8/453.8/453.9 on a 1445px
table, where the declared weights 5/4/3 asked for 567/454/340 — the whole weight algebra was inert, and
Tasks 7-10 would have inherited it on all eleven listings.

Flexible columns are now a bare percentage of their weight over the sum of the weights. The subtraction is
unnecessary because the layout engine already performs it: it honours the declared lengths first and
distributes what remains among the percentage columns in proportion to their percentages. Verified in
Chromium for the mixed case, the all-flexible case and two rigid columns plus 60/40.

The browser scenario that was supposed to prove the layout could not have caught this. It asserted only
`table-layout:fixed`, every header wider than 40px and no header wider than 60% of the table — all three
hold on the equal-thirds page that shipped. It now measures the pill column against `7.5ch + 2 * --row-x`
and the other three against 5/4/3 of what is left, within 2px, and reports the pixels it got when it fails.

Also restores `.wrap{overflow-wrap:anywhere}`. The rule had been flipped to `break-word`, but no page in
this wave uses `.wrap` any more — Routes moved to the typed `t-path`/`t-qual`/`t-token` classes — so the
flip only landed on the seven untouched `table-layout:auto` listings, where `anywhere`'s contribution to
min-content sizing is the whole layout. Measured with `break-word`: a 144-character unbreakable value made
the Environment table 258px wider than its panel. The `break-word` semantics stay where they were wanted,
on `table.ftable td.t-text`, where a fixed layout never asks a cell for its min-content size; the
explanatory comment moves there with them. A new browser scenario seeds its own worst case into the
Environment table and asserts the panel still contains it.

Subject: [PATCH 23/78] fix(web): keep a frame's method name out of the
 ellipsis and raise the trace's focus rings to 3:1
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A trace row printed the whole call in one shrinkable span, and a call is `Class->method()`: the ellipsis
took the METHOD NAME — the only token that differs across the sixty `Illuminate\…` frames of a Laravel
stack — and kept the namespace every one of them shares. The call is now split the way the path already
was: ErrorFrame gains callQualifier() and callFunction(), cut at the last `->`, `::` or `\` before any
`{` so PHP 8.4's `{closure:/abs/path.php:14}` descriptor survives whole, and the row emits a shrinkable
`.cls` beside a `.fn` that is flex:none. A phone drops the qualifier outright rather than shortening the
method name, because `Builder.php` two columns to its left already said it. row()'s docblock claimed only
`.dir` and `.call` had a discardable end, which was false of both; it now names the end the ellipsis
takes and what that costs.

The two focus rings this trace added were drawn in --brand, which measures 2.86:1 on --panel-2 — below SC
1.4.11's 3:1 floor for a non-text indicator, on the dependency disclosure, the one control a keyboard
reader must operate to reach the frames behind it. Both now use --brand-ink, the token this file already
keeps for the brand as a foreground: 5.35:1 and 5.63:1 in light, unchanged in dark. The contrast test
measured --ink-3 on three grounds and skipped the indicator it shipped in the same commit; it now
measures both, at each one's own threshold, and pins the token as a string.

The browser suite's `assertSee('app/Orders/OrderService.php')` asserted a string the document stopped
containing when the path became two spans; it only matched because Playwright concatenates sibling text
with no separator. It names both halves instead.

Subject: [PATCH 24/78] fix(admin): put the table scrollport opt-out on the
 panels that take it, and gate the scroll restore behind a documented key
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`.tw.free` shipped selecting nothing: no view in the package put `free` on a wrapper, and the test beside
it looked for the rule's text in the stylesheet, which a rule that can never match still satisfies. The set
that wants it is precise — a wrapper around a table with no `<thead>`, where the scrollport pins nothing and
costs a second scrollbar plus a footer link pushed out of sight — and that is the overview's four summary
panels, which now carry it. The stylesheet comment's old justification was wrong twice over: `max-height`
reserves no space, so a four-row health table was never "mostly empty box", and health draws a header and
keeps its scrollport. The assertion is now a computed `max-height` read off the elements themselves.

The scroll restore was ungated, untested and wider than its own comment: it ran on every load of the URL,
so clicking Beans in the sidebar an hour later dropped a reader into the middle of a table with the document
at the top and nothing to explain it. It is now applied only on `reload` and `back_forward` — exactly the
navigations where the browser restored the offset itself before `.tw` took the scrollport from `main` — and
switched by `firefly.admin.table.remember-scroll`, documented in the skeleton reference and defaulting to
on, because it restores parity rather than inventing an affordance. Saving moved from `beforeunload` to
`pagehide`, which does not make the page ineligible for the back/forward cache. Both halves are measured in
Chromium: the reload brings the offset back, the plain navigation opens at the top.

Subject: [PATCH 25/78] fix(web): ellipsise a trace frame's method name inside
 its row instead of clipping it at the panel edge
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`.frames .call .fn` was `flex:none` on the theory that a span which cannot shrink keeps its text. It keeps
its WIDTH: its box stays as wide as its glyphs, its own `text-overflow` therefore never has a narrower box
to draw an ellipsis in, and the glyphs run out of the shrunken row to be cut by `.panel{overflow:hidden}`
with nothing marking the cut. Measured in Chrome over a 35-frame Laravel trace, 34 of 35 rows at 375px
painted their method name up to 138px past the panel — `->whereHasMorphRelationship` arriving as `->wh` —
and rows still overflowed at panel widths up to 800px.

The ellipsis order is now stated with shrink factors instead of a refusal to shrink: `.dir` and `.cls`
shrink at 100 and `.fn` at 1, so flexbox spends both discardable spans to nothing before taking a character
off the method name, and `overflow:hidden` on `.call` keeps whatever is taken inside the row. At every
panel width from 540px up that leaves 35 of 35 rows on one line with nothing past the panel.

A phone cannot be answered that way: a row has 295px there and `AddQueuedCookiesToResponse.php` alone is
226 of them, so ranked shrinking ends with 23 of 35 method names cut and two rendered at zero width. Below
560px the row wraps and the call takes a line of its own, the directory joins `.pkg` and `.cls` in being
dropped — it was already ellipsised to `vendor/la…` on every row — and the call keeps the same 24em guard
it has everywhere rather than the old 14em one it no longer needs. Two lines a frame, 1,961px of trace
where the unwrapped page measured 1,407 and the pre-wave one 17,465; nothing wraps inside a span.

Also pins the dependency disclosure's honesty, which was entirely unasserted: its label counts the
UNTRIMMED vendor set and the `.dn` note says how many of those the budget actually left, and both are now
asserted from the report's own counts, together with the note's absence when nothing was trimmed.

+   WHAT "LAST" IS MADE OF, because `flex:none` did not mean it. An unshrinkable span inside a shrinking row

Subject: [PATCH 27/78] fix(admin): stop offering an ordering by an interval
 column that sorts durations by their leading digit

The Fixed rate and Fixed delay columns held Cadence duration STRINGS while carrying TableColumn::number()'s default sortable: true, so RowComparator::forColumn() committed them to strnatcasecmp and ascending by rate answered 1h, 5m, 30s, 250ms. Both columns are now sortable: false, like meter() and actions(), and the trigger() docblock says why a duration string cannot be ordered here instead of clearing the ordering it offered. The scheduled test asserted the column TYPING only, and class="t-num" matched the <th> rather than the t-num dim cells, so rewriting trigger() around is_numeric() would have em-dashed every trigger on the page and stayed green; it now asserts the normalised cells the fixture was built to produce and that neither interval header links.

Subject: [PATCH 28/78] fix(web): open the dependency disclosure when the trace
 has no frame of your own
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A stack whose every frame is under `vendor/` rendered the trace panel as a
heading over a closed disclosure with not one frame visible: `frames()` emits
`<ol class="frames">` only when there are application frames, and
`dependencies()` hardcoded a closed `<details>`. `ErrorFrame::$vendor` is
decided by `/vendor/` in the path alone, so this is the shape every failure
raised before application code runs takes under a worker deployment — Octane,
FrankenPHP worker mode, Vapor — whose front controller is itself a dependency
and so never puts an application frame on the floor of the stack. The
disclosure's open state is now the caller's decision and is open when it is the
only thing in the panel.

The `.deps` border-top is dropped when it follows the panel heading directly,
which is exactly that case: the heading already draws a border-bottom and the
two adjacent rules painted as one 2px line.

Also anchors the browser assertion on the domain 404's path spans at
`app/Orders/</span>` rather than from the project root. The harness serves the
skeleton from `<monorepo>/skeleton/app/…` and SourcePaths derives its root from
the outermost `vendor/` segment, so the page prints `skeleton/app/Orders/`
there and `app/Orders/` in a created project; the assertion pinned the created
project's layout and failed in the monorepo.

Subject: [PATCH 30/78] fix(admin): search the beans catalogue by the interface
 names the page says it searches, and pin the conditions page links over a
 fixture that pages
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

beanRows() ran every interface through Format::leafOf() BEFORE the row was built, so the `interfaces` cell
— and with it the `?q=` index over that column — held only leaf names. The Beans page promises the opposite
in two strings it renders verbatim: "Search by class, stereotype or interface…" in the placeholder and
"class, stereotype, scope, name or interfaces" in the empty state. Pasting the name an operator actually
has to hand answered a confident "Nothing matches": q=HealthIndicator found three beans and
q=Firefly\Actuator\Health\HealthIndicator found none, while those same three implement exactly it; ten
beans against Firefly\Actuator\Endpoint\ActuatorEndpoint, same story. It was also the one column on the
page that did not follow the page's own arrangement — `class` keeps the FQCN in the row and shortens it in
the view — and the truncation emptied the cell's title of its purpose, a cell reading ActuatorEndpoint
carrying title="ActuatorEndpoint".

The row now carries both: `interfaces` holds the leaves, which is what the column draws and therefore what
it may be ordered by, and `interfacesQualified` holds the FQCNs, which is what `?q=` also looks inside and
what the cell hovers. That keeps InMemoryListing's rule intact — a searched value has to be visible to the
reader, and this one is visible exactly where the Class column's FQCN already was — without giving the
Implements column an ordering by a namespace nobody can see.

The conditions test named for paging never rendered a paged panel. Nine conditions apply in an
auto-configured testbench and this harness backs two off, against a default page size of 50, so
ListingPage::isPaged() was false on both panels and _pager's paged branch — the only caller of
ListingPage::link() anywhere — never rendered: the pager read "1–9 of 9" and then went straight to the
spacer. conditionsPage() rebuilds each slice on the CARRYING query precisely so those links keep the
sibling's position, and deleting both rebuilds left all 296 tests green; what the old assertions caught was
the carrying through the two GET forms, which is a different mechanism. AdminTableConditionsPagedCapstoneTestCase
offers a page size of 2 through configOverrides() (AdminSettings is built during the boot passes, so a
config()->set() from a test body arrives too late) and grows the backed-off side to five rows, and the new
suite pins the hrefs both pagers draw — including a sibling `neg_q` that a page link would otherwise drop,
widening a panel the reader never touched. Both rebuilds now fail the suite when removed. The older test
keeps its assertions under a name that says what they cover.

+/**
+ * The dashboard capstone, given a Conditions page whose BOTH panels actually page.
+ *
+ * The Conditions page is the only one carrying two listings at once, and the mechanism that makes that work
+ * — each panel's links carrying the OTHER panel's position — lives entirely inside `_pager`'s paged branch,
+ * because `ListingPage::link()` is called nowhere else. The bare table capstone cannot reach it: an
+ * auto-configured testbench applies nine conditions and this harness backs two of them off, and eleven rows
+ * spread over two panels fit on every size the rows-per-page control offers by default, so `isPaged()` is
+ * false on both and the branch never renders. Paging the Applied panel would then rebuild a URL with no
+ * `neg_page` in it and the Backed-off panel would jump back to page 1 while the reader was looking
+ * somewhere else — the exact bug the carrying exists to prevent, with nothing failing.
+ *
+ * So this case changes TWO things and nothing else, the same two AdminTablePagedCapstoneTestCase changes
+ * for Routes. It OFFERS a page size of 2 — `firefly.admin.table.page-sizes`, seeded through
+ * configOverrides() rather than set inside a test, because AdminSettings (and the TableSettings on it) is
+ * built once by AdminRouteRegistrar during the boot passes and bound as an instance, so a `config()->set()`
+ * from a test body arrives after the object that would have read it. And it grows the backed-off side to
+ * five rows, which at two a page is three pages: enough for a page in the middle, a first-page jump that
+ * drops its own `page` while keeping its neighbour's, and a Next with nowhere to go.
+ *
+ * The filler is deliberately `App\Widgets\…`: `?neg_q=Redis` must keep narrowing to the one backed-off
+ * cache row the parent seeds, so no filler class or condition may contain a term a search test looks for.

From: Andres Contreras <andres.contreras@soon.es>
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 17:31:45 -0700
Subject: [PATCH 31/78] fix(web): give the copy button a rejection arm and stop
 three documents from describing a page that changed
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Copy button is revealed once `navigator.clipboard` exists, and `writeText()` can still reject from
there — an unfocused document (the common DOMException), a denied `clipboard-write` permission, an embedding
Permissions-Policy that omits it. The promise had no `.catch`, so in exactly the cases where the control HAS
been shown the click did nothing, the label stayed "Copy", and the quietest page in the framework wrote an
unhandled rejection to the console. It now reports `Copy failed` and stays clickable, and the three surfaces
that called the pre-click modes exhaustive say so no longer.

The same commit's prose had drifted from the same commit's code. The config reference concluded that
`copy-button` "is the answer for a deployment whose CSP blocks rather than merely reports" three lines after
explaining that a blocking CSP already yields a page with no control on it: the key is for the deployment
whose CSP must report zero inline scripts, which is what ErrorPage::clipboard() said. reassurance()'s
docblock still claimed the 5xx sentence names the reference and mirrors ProblemMapper::OPAQUE_WITH_REFERENCE,
both of which this wave retired on purpose; it now records that the two surfaces share the ID and no longer
the SENTENCE, and why a payload with no cell to point at keeps its id inline. docs/modules/error-handling.md
still quoted the retired lede, described the Reference fact as a plain row, and left `copy-button` out of the
excerpt.

Pinned, so none of it can drift back in silence: ErrorPageTest asserts the emitted `.catch` beside the
single-`<script>` assertion and holds the page's clause against the ProblemMapper constant, and
DocsProseIsRealTest derives the lede from a real render and fails any paragraph that says what the 500 page
reads without quoting it. tests/Browser/ErrorPagesProductionTest.php:49 asserted `quote reference`, which the
wording change orphaned; restated to `quote the reference below`, as Task 4 did for the assertion it orphaned.

Subject: [PATCH 33/78] test(web): run the error page's only script in the
 browser lane instead of grepping it
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Every assertion about the Copy button was string containment on the emitted markup: ErrorPageTest pins the
button element, `navigator.clipboard` and the `.catch` fragment, and nothing pinned `querySelector(".copy")`
or the coupling between the class ErrorPage::reference() writes and the selector ErrorPage::clipboard()
looks for. Rename either side alone and all 46 of those tests stay green while every production 500 ships a
control that is emitted `hidden` and never revealed — verified by mutating the selector to `.copy-btn`: the
unit suite passed, 300 assertions, unmoved.

The browser lane already visits `/browser-fixture/boom`, which is that exact page, and asserted nothing
about the control. The 500 test now also asserts the hint sentence inside `.fact-ref`, and a companion test
asserts a VISIBLE `Copy` inside `.ref-act` — visible only if the script found the button and unhid it, which
is the assertion the selector mutation fails on. It then clicks it and asserts the label stops saying
`Copy`. Which arm runs is the browser's business (this headless Chromium refuses `clipboard-write` and
takes the rejection arm), so the assertion is the thing both arms owe the reader, and the JavaScript-error
assertion after the click holds shut the unhandled rejection the `.catch` was added to prevent — on the very
path this browser takes. Removing the `.catch` again fails the new test.

Subject: [PATCH 34/78] fix(admin): size the configuration listings from the
 controls they draw, break the bound-properties ties by row, and keep the
 reader's place when a level is applied
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Four defects from wave UX-T task 8, three of them clipping and all four now
pinned by assertions that fail without the fix.

The rigid column widths counted characters and not chrome. The Loggers Set
column held a <select> carrying Monolog's whole Level::NAMES plus an Apply
button — 172.5px of control against the 135px that `ch: 18` gave it, so
`table.ftable td{overflow:hidden}` cut 23px off the button and it rendered as
`App`; it is now 24 characters. The Level pill is 11.5px mono inside 2x7px of
its own padding, which makes EMERGENCY 76.3px against 67.6px, and a testbench
already reports CRITICAL; it is now 11. The caches Default chip adds a dot, a
gap and 2x9px to a seven-character word — 71.8px against 60px, so `default`
lost its last two letters on every install, `cache.default` always being set;
it is now 10.5. Three browser scenarios measure each of them in Chromium, in
the shape the Method column's already has.

The bound config-properties listing passed `key` as its tiebreak, which names
one row per DTO that declares the property rather than one row. It now carries
a synthetic `row` — the class and the property — drawn by nothing and searched
by nothing, the way `interfacesQualified` rides along in the beans catalogue.

setLoggerLevel() redirected to the bare page, so applying a level threw away
the search and the page the listing had just been given. The form carries
`$query->link()` in a hidden field and the action validates it against the
Loggers URL before following it.

The panel-carrying test could not fail for the reason its name gave: both
panels write their own `?sort=` into their own links, so the sort literals it
looked for were on the page whether or not either query carried the other. It
asserts on `page` instead, which no panel writes into its own links — and a
paged capstone, a second bound DTO and AdminTableConfigPropsPagerTest now cover
the pager's own links, which a one-page fixture never renders.

Subject: [PATCH 36/78] fix(admin): let the configuration listings open
 unordered, the way every other listing on the dashboard opens
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The four listings this task added declared their own tiebreak as their default
sort — env `key`, caches `name`, loggers `name` and the Not-bound properties
panel `class` — which the rule in listing()'s docblock forbids and which the
five listings before them do not do. It changes no row: InMemoryListing falls
back to the tiebreak when no sort was asked for, so the ordering is identical
either way. What it changes is the page. `meaningful()` drops a parameter
already at its default, so that one header degrades from `?sort=key` to a bare
`?dir=desc`, and `indicator()` draws an arrow on it from the first request.

`/firefly/env` therefore opened claiming to be sorted by Key while
`/firefly/mappings` opened claiming nothing about Path, though each was ordered
by exactly that column — one affordance answering "what is this sorted by?" two
ways depending on which page a reader was on. Both conventions are defensible;
having both is not. The dashboard keeps the one it already had: an arrow means
a reader asked for this ordering.

The bound config-properties panel keeps its `defaultSort: 'class'` and is now
documented as the case the rule is about rather than an exception to it — its
tiebreak is `row`, the synthetic `Class::property` identity no column draws, so
a null default would order that table by a key no header can name and no reader
can click back to. The docblock's claim that "every header link would lose its
own `?sort=`" was overstated and is corrected: only the default column's does.

Two capstone tests pin the convention that had none — that the Environment,
Caches and Loggers tables open with every header naming its own column and an
arrow on none of them, that asking for `?sort=key` marks Key and returns the
same rows the bare page drew, and that the two config-properties panels differ
because their orderings differ in kind.

Subject: [PATCH 37/78] fix(web): re-issue the request that failed, not just
 its path, and say which sentence authored-detail does not govern
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three findings from the review of the action row and the 405 lede.

THE RETRY LINK DROPPED THE QUERY STRING. `$report->path` comes from Laravel's `path()`, which answers
`search` for /search?q=foo&page=2, so a 500 on a search offered "Try again" pointing at an empty one and
the reader had to retype what they had already typed — silently, on a page that looked right. The report
carries the query beside the path now, as Symfony's `getQueryString()`: normalised and percent-encoded to
RFC 3986, so it survives htmlspecialchars unchanged except for the `&` that becomes `&amp;`, and it cannot
end the attribute it sits in. The path stays '/'-prefixed on its own, which is what keeps a scheme and a
protocol-relative `//host` out of the href. The fact grid still states the path alone: it offers no action
that would justify printing a token or a search into a screenshot.

`authored-detail` DOES NOT GOVERN THE 405'S VERB SENTENCE, and two docblocks plus the config reference said
it did. The branch for it sits above the gate in lede(), so an operator who turned the key off for the
status-and-code page still got "That address does not accept a GET request. It accepts POST." The code is
right — nothing of the application's is in that sentence; ProblemMapper reads the verbs off the `Allow`
header the router put on its own exception, and the page writes the words, which the document beside it
publishes as `allowed` — so the three places an operator reads about the key now say so, and a test pins
the exception against the rule.

THE THREE BROWSER ASSERTIONS THE NEW LEDE ORPHANED are restated here rather than left red for the plan's
Task 11. /does-not-exist ledes ProblemMapper::NOTHING_HERE, /orders/999999 ledes the skeleton's own
"That order does not exist.", and the 405 names its verb — the commit that changes the sentence is the one
that owes the assertion, exactly as Task 4's fix commit owned the frame-path assertion it orphaned.

From b6f13ca255755198dca118783d34b63ee8aa54b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Andres Contreras <andres.contreras@soon.es>

Subject: [PATCH 38/78] fix(web): offer "Try again" only where a link can keep
 the promise, and stop ledeing the reason phrase
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three findings from the second review of the action row.

A LINK IS A GET, WHATEVER IT CLAIMS TO REPEAT. "Try again" was offered on every status >= 500 and its href
is a plain <a>, so a POST that 500s was handed a link carrying the address and the query and dropping the
verb and the body — on a POST-only route it lands the reader on this wave's own 405 page, and on a route
that answers both verbs it silently sends a different request under a label that says "again". The offer is
gated on GET and HEAD now and withheld otherwise, which leaves a failed POST the two offers that are true
for it: "Go home" and "Contact support".

THE RETRY HREF SKIPPED THE PACKAGE'S OWN URL GUARD on the strength of a claim that is false. The docblock
said the path begins with exactly one slash and therefore cannot carry a scheme or a protocol-relative
//host — but //host is not the only spelling of an authority. Symfony refuses a backslash in a request
target only inside Request::create(); prepareRequestUri(), the path every real request takes, neither
refuses nor normalises one, so a REQUEST_URI of /\evil.example reaches path() as \evil.example and the href
as /\evil.example, which a browser resolves as https://evil.example/ — the primary action on the page,
during exactly the incident that produces a 5xx on an arbitrary path. ErrorPageSettings::url() has refused
that spelling, and the tab/LF/CR a URL parser deletes, for every operator-supplied href since the row
existed; it is public now and retry() asks it the same question, accepting the address only when it comes
back unchanged and making no offer when it does not.

A BARE abort(403) AUTHORED NOTHING. ProblemMapper::httpMessage() substitutes the reason phrase for an empty
message — the honest answer for a document that needs some detail — so authoredDetail() answered a non-empty
string for every abort() that named no sentence, and the lede printed "Forbidden" under a heading already
reading "403 Forbidden". That also made the 401 and 403 reassurances dead code at the default configuration,
which is the one most deployments run. The page now discards a publicDetail equal to the reason phrase or to
the status text and falls through to its own sentence; nothing anybody actually wrote is affected, and the
problem document is unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 40/78] fix(admin): let the OAuth2 Active column order by its
 counts instead of by the em-dash in it
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A `0` the process-local authorization store cannot vouch for was written into the row as the em-dash
itself. `active` is a sortable number column, and `'—'` is neither `null` nor `''`, so
RowComparator::rankEmpty() never fired on it and RowComparator::forColumn() met a non-empty,
non-numeric value on its first pass and committed the whole column to strnatcasecmp — counts ordered
by their leading digit and, an em-dash being three bytes above every digit, a descending Active
opening on the page of em-dashes RowComparator exists to prevent.

The row now carries the empty string the view draws as `—`, which is the dashboard's own convention
for an absent cell (AdminAction::scheduledRows(), http.blade.php, oauth2.blade.php's own scopes and
redirects) and the only spelling of one that orders: emptiness is ranked out before the direction is
applied, so the unvouchable rows sit at the end of the listing both ways round and the counts keep
their arithmetic comparison. A case in AdminTableListingTest pins ?sort=active in both directions.

Subject: [PATCH 41/78] fix(web): re-issue the request under its front
 controller, and build both 405 sentences in one place
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

"Try again" was built from `ErrorReport::$path`, which is Laravel's `path()` and
therefore Symfony's `getPathInfo()` — base-URL-stripped by design, because the
router matches on the path info and the front controller is not part of what was
asked for. On a deployment served under a base path that made the PRIMARY action
on every 5xx page a URL the deployment never serves: `/app/index.php/orders/42`
rendered as `/orders/42`, which 404s or leaves the application, during the one
incident in which a reader clicks it. The report now carries
`getBaseUrl()` beside `path` and `query`, and retry() prepends it — the spelling
LoginPageAction, AuthorizationEndpoint, OAuth2LoginPageLinks and
FakeAuthorizationServer already share — and puts the CONCATENATION through
ErrorPageSettings::url() rather than its tail, so the `/\evil.example` refusal
holds for the href a browser actually reads. The fact grid still states `path`
alone.

The 405 also had two builders for one list of verbs: ErrorPage::methodSentence()
wrote "That address does not accept a GET request. It accepts POST." while
ProblemMapper::methodNotAllowed() put "This address only accepts POST." on the
wire for the same exception, and lede() claimed in its own headline that the page
and the problem document agree. Both sentences come out of
ProblemMapper::methodSentence() now, one argument apart: the document is built
from the throwable alone and has no request to read the refused verb off, so that
clause is the whole of the difference and it is visible in one ternary instead of
two files. The divergence is stated in lede()'s opening paragraph and pinned
against the document the way the 5xx lede is pinned against
OPAQUE_WITH_REFERENCE, so neither wording can be re-decided alone.

Subject: [PATCH 42/78] docs(error-handling): describe the production page this
 wave really renders
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

§ The HTML error page still described the page as it was before Task 6: "Production
shows the status, the reason, the code and the request's reference", closing with
"nothing that names a class, a file or a row". The production page now also ledes
with the application's own sentence — the browser suite asserts "That order does not
exist." — which names a row, and renders an action row the section never mentioned;
"the lede points at the cell" became true only of a 5xx. The commented excerpt elided
`authored-detail`, `home`, `sign-in`, `support` and `actions` entirely, so an operator
reading the module could not find the keys that govern any of it.

The disclosure boundary is restated accurately — no class, no file, no trace and no
framework hint, but the sentence the application wrote for the caller, which
problem+json publishes as `detail` — the five keys are named in the excerpt, and two
paragraphs state the rules this wave introduced: "Try again" is 5xx-and-GET/HEAD only
and carries the base path, and a 405 names the verbs whatever `authored-detail` says.

+carries a **Correlation** cell beside the Reference one, holding the `X-Correlation-Id` value; when they are
+the same string the cell is omitted, because two cells repeating one value teach a reader the ids are
+interchangeable. That is enough to quote into a ticket and grep in a log, and **no class, no file, no trace
+and no framework hint** — the boundary is the raw exception and everything downstream of it, not every word
+about the failure: the lede below is the sentence the application itself wrote for the caller, which
+problem+json publishes as `detail` for the same failure. The page's own advice about *how* to turn traces on
+is suppressed outside non-production environments too, because naming the framework and a config key to an
+anonymous visitor is a free hint about your stack.
+
+**The lede is the problem document's own sentence** (`firefly.web.error-page.authored-detail`, default
+`true`). An `abort(404, 'No such tenant.')`, or a `ResourceNotFoundException` carrying `Order 42 does not
+exist.`, says that to the person and to the client alike — one failure, one wording, whichever surface
+answered. What counts as authored is `ProblemMapper`'s decision and not this key's: below 500 only, and with
+every sentence the *framework* generated already replaced, so a `QueryException`'s SQL and the
+route-model-binding 404s that name a model class and a primary key are never ledes. Set the key `false` and
+the lede falls back to the generic sentence for the status — the status-and-code page — with two exceptions
+that do not move. A **405 always names the verbs**: "That address does not accept a GET request. It accepts
+POST.", built from the `Allow` header the *router* set, so there is nothing of yours in it for the key to
+withhold, and the same list is the document's `allowed` member. And a bare `abort(403)` authored nothing: the
+document publishes the reason phrase because it needs some `detail`, and the page declines to lede with a word
+already printed beside the status code.
+
+**The action row offers what fits the status, and nothing it was not given**: `home` (default `/`), `sign-in`
+and `support` (both **empty** by default — the values in the reference above are examples, and an empty one
+offers no link rather than a guessed route name), and `actions` (default `true`) to switch the row off
+entirely. A 401 gets **Sign in**; every page gets **Go home** and **Contact support** wherever those are set.
+**Try again** is offered on a **5xx and only for a GET or a HEAD**, because it is a plain link and a link is a
+GET: it carries the address and the query string of the request that failed and it cannot carry the verb or
+the body, so on a failed POST it would either land the reader on the 405 page or send a different request
+under a label that says "again". The address it names is the request's own — base path and all, so a
+deployment served under a front controller gets a link back to the URL it really serves — and it goes through
+the same scheme guard as every configured href on the page, which drops `javascript:`, `data:`, a
+protocol-relative `//host` and its backslash spelling `/\host`. When the guard refuses, the page makes no
+retry offer at all rather than one it cannot spell truthfully.
 
 **Overriding it.** `views` hands a status — or `default` — to your own Blade view. The view receives the same
 `$error` report the built-in page gets, so it is bound by the same `trace` gate and cannot print a stack

Subject: [PATCH 43/78] fix(web): the problem renderer answers with a document
 on any payload instead of throwing out of the error handler
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

json_encode($payload, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES) was a live failure mode on the one code
path that must not have one. A single byte that is not valid UTF-8 anywhere in the document raised a
JsonException straight OUT of render(), so the handler failed while handling the error and the caller
received no document at all — a blank 500 from the web server with the real failure buried underneath. Those
bytes arrive as a matter of routine: a driver message quoting a latin-1 column value, a request header echoed
into an extension member at the throw site, a file name off a filesystem that is not UTF-8.

encode() answers that case with JSON_INVALID_UTF8_SUBSTITUTE — the offending bytes become U+FFFD and the
document is still the document it was built to be — and catches what json_encode still refuses: recursion, a
resource, an INF or NAN an application put in an extension member. minimal() then rebuilds six members whose
types are checked rather than trusted, keeping the status and the code a client branches on and dropping
everything an application contributed, since one of those values is why we are here. Both are total: neither
throws and neither returns false.

The book's verbatim excerpt of render() is re-quoted from the file it names, in both languages, and each
gains a sentence saying what self::encode() is and why it may not throw.

Un renderizador que lanzara aquí fallaría mientras atiende el fallo, y quien llama no recibiría documento alguno.

 Lo que `render()` deliberadamente **no** decide es en qué `FireflyException` se convierte un throwable cualquiera. Esa regla vive una clase más allá, en `Firefly\Web\Error\ProblemMapper`, porque la página de error HTML del Capítulo 10 necesita la respuesta idéntica y dos copias de ella acabarían dándole a un navegador y a un cliente de API códigos distintos para el mismo fallo:

 The cut above the `return` hides the rest of the header work: the headers an `HttpExceptionInterface` already carries are copied onto the response — a `405`'s `Allow` among them — and a `503` additionally gains `Retry-After: 5`.
 
+`self::encode()` is the body, and it is total on purpose: a byte that is not valid UTF-8 — a driver message quoting a latin-1 column, a request header echoed into an extension member — is substituted rather than raised, and anything `json_encode` still refuses, such as an `INF` an application put in an extension at the throw site, falls back to a minimal document carrying the status, the code and an opaque sentence. A renderer that threw here would fail while handling the failure, and the caller would receive no document at all.

 What `render()` deliberately does **not** decide is which `FireflyException` an arbitrary throwable becomes. That rule lives one class along, in `Firefly\Web\Error\ProblemMapper`, because the HTML error page of Chapter 10 needs the identical answer and two copies of it would eventually hand a browser and an API client different codes for the same failure:

Subject: [PATCH 44/78] fix(admin): size the HTTP traffic When column for the
 dated stamp its formatter falls back to
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The column was declared `TableColumn::stamp('timestamp', 'When', ch: 12)`, sized for `2h ago`, while
Format::since stops giving an age past its 86400-second arm and gives `2026-09-22 20:49` — sixteen
characters. Measured against the sheet, twelve characters is a 118px box whose text starts after the
14px left padding and runs 115px, so `table.ftable td{overflow:hidden}` took the tail off; Chromium
reports the overflow as 26px. `td.t-stamp` carried neither `text-overflow:ellipsis` nor a `title`, so
the cut was a hard mid-glyph clip and the operator read `2026-09-22 20:` as the whole value. It is a
regression: before the listing wave the cell was `td.mono.dim.tight` on a `table-layout:auto` table,
where `width:1%` shrank the column to its content. It is also reachable in ordinary operation, since
the exchange ring is cache-backed precisely so it outlives a request.

The column is now `ch: 16` — 14 is the first width that stops clipping and 16 the first that fits
without spilling into the right padding, at both densities. The cell carries the full instant on its
title through a new Format::instant(), and `td.t-stamp` gains the ellipsis the other clipped kinds in
the vocabulary already have, so a stamp that ever outgrows its column again says so.

The fixture could not see any of this: its oldest exchange was 7200 seconds old, one arm short of the
branch that sizes the column. AdminTableCapstoneTestCase gains an archived row at a fixed past instant,
FormatStampTest pins the alphabets both widths are derived from, and the browser suite measures the
widest stamp in the column as the page really lays it out — that assertion reports a 26px clip at the
old width.

Subject: [PATCH 45/78] fix(web): the degraded problem document keeps every
 member that cannot be the cause, and the pipeline proves it answers at all
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The minimal fallback pinned category and severity to Internal/Error for every exception while keeping the real status, title and code, so a 409 came back saying `internal` and a 422 — reachable through FieldError::$rejectedValue, which is `mixed` — told a generated client branching on `category == 'validation'` to render the wrong arm. It also dropped detail, traceId, correlationId, instance and timestamp, which ErrorResponse declares `?string` and array_diff_key() keeps an extension from shadowing: none of them can be why json_encode refused, and dropping them published exactly the document whose body a person cannot correlate, against this class's own promise, and withheld an authored sub-500 sentence the disclosure gate had already cleared. Every standard member is now carried through a type check, the enums re-derived with tryFrom() so the published constraint holds; `errors` and the extension members, which genuinely can be the cause, still go.

The behaviour was proven only by unit tests calling render() directly, where a throw out of the renderer is observable but the blank 500 it causes is not — that happens one layer up. Two fixture routes on ConflictController and two capstone cases now drive a latin-1 byte and an unencodable extension member through the real kernel; against the previous encoder both fail with 500 and the JsonException escaping, which is the claim.

 Lo que `render()` deliberadamente **no** decide es en qué `FireflyException` se convierte un throwable cualquiera. Esa regla vive una clase más allá, en `Firefly\Web\Error\ProblemMapper`, porque la página de error HTML del Capítulo 10 necesita la respuesta idéntica y dos copias de ella acabarían dándole a un navegador y a un cliente de API códigos distintos para el mismo fallo:

 The cut above the `return` hides the rest of the header work: the headers an `HttpExceptionInterface` already carries are copied onto the response — a `405`'s `Allow` among them — and a `503` additionally gains `Retry-After: 5`.
 
-`self::encode()` is the body, and it is total on purpose: a byte that is not valid UTF-8 — a driver message quoting a latin-1 column, a request header echoed into an extension member — is substituted rather than raised, and anything `json_encode` still refuses, such as an `INF` an application put in an extension at the throw site, falls back to a minimal document carrying the status, the code and an opaque sentence. A renderer that threw here would fail while handling the failure, and the caller would receive no document at all.

 What `render()` deliberately does **not** decide is which `FireflyException` an arbitrary throwable becomes. That rule lives one class along, in `Firefly\Web\Error\ProblemMapper`, because the HTML error page of Chapter 10 needs the identical answer and two copies of it would eventually hand a browser and an API client different codes for the same failure:

Subject: [PATCH 46/78] fix(web): make the problem renderer total against a
 throwing accessor, and keep the field errors it used to drop
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The encoder caught JsonException, which is only the half of the failure set json_encode REPORTS. Encoding an
object CALLS the application's own code — JsonSerializable::jsonSerialize(), an Eloquent accessor, a
decrypting cast — and whatever that code raises comes out of json_encode with no error state set and no
JsonException in it, so it escaped render() untouched. Extension members are `mixed` and chosen at the throw
site by withExtensions(), and FieldError::$rejectedValue is `mixed` too, so a model whose accessor reads the
database is an ordinary member here — and it is likeliest to throw when the database is the thing that
already failed, which is why the renderer was running at all. The result was exactly the blank 500 this work
exists to remove, against a class docblock and a book paragraph that had just promised a body unconditionally.
The catch is widened to Throwable and JsonException dropped from the imports.

minimal() also dropped the whole `errors` array when only one of its members can ever be the cause: FieldError
declares field and message `string` and code/constraint `?string`, so `rejectedValue` alone is `mixed`. It is
the client's own value — the validators fill it with Arr::get($data, $field) off the decoded body, and
json_decode('{"ratio": 1e999}') is INF — so any caller could post one number into a #[Valid] body and get back
a 422 that still said `category: validation` while carrying no `errors` member at all, sending a generated
client down the field-error arm with nothing to render and taking every other field's sentence with it.
fieldErrors() now rebuilds the member from the declared strings and drops only the rejected values, keeping
`errors` last where STANDARD_MEMBERS has it.

Covered by two renderer tests and a capstone route through the real kernel, since a blank 500 is what the
layer above does with the exception the renderer threw and a direct call can only observe the throw. All
three fail against the previous renderer. The book's English and Spanish paragraphs are corrected on both
points, as the docs guard pins them to this file.

 Lo que `render()` deliberadamente **no** decide es en qué `FireflyException` se convierte un throwable cualquiera. Esa regla vive una clase más allá, en `Firefly\Web\Error\ProblemMapper`, porque la página de error HTML del Capítulo 10 necesita la respuesta idéntica y dos copias de ella acabarían dándole a un navegador y a un cliente de API códigos distintos para el mismo fallo:

 The cut above the `return` hides the rest of the header work: the headers an `HttpExceptionInterface` already carries are copied onto the response — a `405`'s `Allow` among them — and a `503` additionally gains `Retry-After: 5`.
 
-`self::encode()` is the body, and it is total on purpose: a byte that is not valid UTF-8 — a driver message quoting a latin-1 column, a request header echoed into an extension member — is substituted rather than raised, and anything `json_encode` still refuses, such as an `INF` an application put in an extension at the throw site, falls back to a minimal document. That fallback keeps every member the shape above defines — the status, the title, the code, the category, the severity, the sentence and the reference ids — because each of them is a string this class wrote and none of them can be what `json_encode` refused; what it drops is what can be, the extension members and the field errors. A renderer that threw here would fail while handling the failure, and the caller would receive no document at all.

Anything `json_encode` still refuses, such as an `INF` an application put in an extension at the throw site, falls back to a minimal document; so does anything an encoded object's *own* code throws, because encoding an object calls that code — a `jsonSerialize()`, an Eloquent accessor — and what it raises never becomes a `JsonException` at all, which is why the fallback catches `Throwable` and not just the JSON one.

A renderer that threw here would fail while handling the failure, and the caller would receive no document at all.
 
 What `render()` deliberately does **not** decide is which `FireflyException` an arbitrary throwable becomes. That rule lives one class along, in `Firefly\Web\Error\ProblemMapper`, because the HTML error page of Chapter 10 needs the identical answer and two copies of it would eventually hand a browser and an API client different codes for the same failure:

+           and they survive because a column's type is a fact about the resource that DataSchema derived,

Subject: [PATCH 48/78] fix(web): the degraded problem document reports the
 throwable it swallowed and names the members it could not carry
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The encoder's fallback caught an arbitrary application exception in
`catch (Throwable) { $json = false; }` and recorded it in no place at all:
no log line, no marker, no header. The document it published carried the
same status, code and category as a healthy one, so an application losing
its extension members from every problem document it rendered — an Eloquent
accessor under preventLazyLoading is the ordinary shape of this — had no
way for an operator to learn that it was happening, or why. An
error-handling subsystem that fails unobservably is the failure this wave
exists to remove; the blank 500 went away and took the evidence with it.

Both halves are closed. The catch now BINDS the throwable and reports it
through an optional Psr\Log\LoggerInterface — a second constructor argument
WebServiceProvider fills from the application's own logger, defensively, for
the reason ErrorPageRenderer resolves its view factory that way — with the
document's `traceId` in the context so the log line and the body a caller is
holding join up, and inside a nested try/catch so a log channel that is down
too cannot throw out of the error handler and put the blank 500 back one
layer up.

And minimal() stops deleting the RFC 9457 open namespace. encodable() walks
each extension member by type — scalars verbatim, arrays to a bounded depth
so a self-referential one cannot trade a failed encode for a failed stack,
enums by their own case, a non-finite float named rather than typed, and
everything else as get_debug_type() — so `allowed` still lists a 405's verbs
and a member nobody can read says `App\Models\Balance` instead of vanishing.
That is ConfigPropsEndpoint::value()'s idiom and its stated reason: naming
the type never calls the application's code, which is what threw on the way
in. FieldError::$rejectedValue is still dropped outright, because its whole
contract is "this is the value you sent" and "float" is not something anyone
sent.

Sólo se pierden dos cosas: el valor ilegible, sustituido por su tipo, y el `rejectedValue` de cada error de campo, que se descarta del todo porque el contrato entero de ese miembro es *esto es lo que enviaste* y la palabra `float` no la envió nadie.
+
+Y la degradación queda registrada. El throwable que capturó el respaldo es una excepción cualquiera de la aplicación, así que se registra — por el `Psr\Log\LoggerInterface` opcional que el provider le pasa a este renderizador, con el `traceId` del propio documento en el contexto para que la línea de log y el cuerpo que tiene quien llama se puedan juntar, y dentro de su propio `try`/`catch` para que un canal de log que también esté caído no pueda lanzar fuera del manejador de errores. Un subsistema de manejo de errores que falla de forma invisible es justo lo que toda esta superficie existe para eliminar, y un renderizador que se tragara una excepción en silencio mientras publica un documento indistinguible de uno sano sería exactamente eso. Un renderizador que lanzara aquí, por su parte, fallaría mientras atiende el fallo, y quien llama no recibiría documento alguno.
 
 Lo que `render()` deliberadamente **no** decide es en qué `FireflyException` se convierte un throwable cualquiera. Esa regla vive una clase más allá, en `Firefly\Web\Error\ProblemMapper`, porque la página de error HTML del Capítulo 10 necesita la respuesta idéntica y dos copias de ella acabarían dándole a un navegador y a un cliente de API códigos distintos para el mismo fallo:

 The cut above the `return` hides the rest of the header work: the headers an `HttpExceptionInterface` already carries are copied onto the response — a `405`'s `Allow` among them — and a `503` additionally gains `Retry-After: 5`.
 
-`self::encode()` is the body, and it is total on purpose. A byte that is not valid UTF-8 — a driver message quoting a latin-1 column, a request header echoed into an extension member — is substituted rather than raised.

That fallback keeps every member the shape above defines — the status, the title, the code, the category, the severity, the sentence and the reference ids — because each of them is a string this class wrote and none of them can be what `json_encode` refused. What it drops is what can be, and only that: the extension members, which are `mixed` to a one, and each field error's `rejectedValue`. The field errors themselves stay, names and sentences intact — a `422` that still says `category: validation` while carrying no `errors` member would send a generated client down the field-error arm with nothing to render.

+
+And the degradation is on the record. The throwable the fallback caught is an arbitrary application exception, so it is logged — through the optional `Psr\Log\LoggerInterface` the provider hands this renderer, with the document's own `traceId` in the context so the log line and the body a caller is holding join up, and inside a `try`/`catch` of its own so a log channel that is down too cannot throw out of the error handler. An error-handling subsystem that fails invisibly is the thing this whole surface exists to remove, and a renderer that quietly swallowed an exception while publishing a document nobody could tell from a healthy one would have been exactly that. A renderer that threw here, meanwhile, would fail while handling the failure, and the caller would receive no document at all.
 
 What `render()` deliberately does **not** decide is which `FireflyException` an arbitrary throwable becomes. That rule lives one class along, in `Firefly\Web\Error\ProblemMapper`, because the HTML error page of Chapter 10 needs the identical answer and two copies of it would eventually hand a browser and an API client different codes for the same failure:

Subject: [PATCH 50/78] fix(admin): size the data browser's datetime column,
 give its page-size key back its meaning, and choose the in-PHP tiebreak per
 column
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Four defects in the commit that moved the data browser onto the shared table system, all of them silent:

The <colgroup> computed from the schema gave a datetime column the same `calc(13ch + 2 * var(--row-x))`
as an int, a float and a boolean. Under the `table-layout:fixed` that commit introduced a cell cannot grow
out of its column, only clip — and `2026-01-01 10:00:00` is nineteen characters, so the stamp's own span
measured 143px of text inside a 98px box and the operator read `2026-01-01 10…` as the whole instant.
Nineteen is the width `TableColumn::stamp()` already carries for exactly this string, so the two mechanisms
that size a timestamp on this dashboard now agree rather than each guessing.

`firefly.admin.data.page-size` had become inert for the dashboard. The page stated `$query->size` on every
call to `DataBrowser::list()`, so `clampPageSize()`'s "null means use the configured default" branch was
unreachable from the web UI and a browser documented at 25 rows served 50. The two bounds are now composed
BEFORE the request is parsed, by a new `TableSettings::boundedBy()`: the query falls back to the browser's
own default, the rows-per-page control offers the shared set narrowed by `max-page-size` with `page-size`
forced into it, and a link omits `size` when it is that default — so a deployment that asked for ten rows
gets ten rows AND an option that says so.

`ListingQuery::sized()` records the size the rows were SERVED at, which the offered set never chose, so the
rows-per-page `<select>` now renders `TableSettings::offering()` — the set with that size spliced in — rather
than the set itself. A select whose current value has no option shows the first one, and pressing Apply then
resizes the table the operator was reading.

And the in-PHP tiebreak called `RowComparator::compare()` pairwise, which is the one thing that class's
docblock forbids for a sort: the choice between the arithmetic and the natural comparison belongs to the
COLUMN, made once, or the relation can close a cycle and stop being an ordering at all. It is now
`forColumn()` over the identifier column, exactly as `InMemoryListing::order()` does beside it.

The fallback branch had no test that could fail: PlainNoteRepository::findAll() orders by id, so the array
handed to the stable usort already carried the answer the tiebreak gives. ReverseNoteRepository hands its
rows back in descending identifier order, where the walk over every page returns [6,5,4,3,2,1] without the
tiebreak and [1..6] with it. The colgroup is pinned in the capstone by the widths it emits and in the browser
suite by measuring the span the page really drew, the page-size behaviour by a listing of thirty rows under
stock config and under `data.page-size: 10`, and the splice by unit tests on both value objects.

+ * that ALREADY carries the answer the tiebreak would give — the ordering is then indistinguishable from an
+ * ordering with no tiebreak at all, and a test written over it passes before the fix as well as after it.

Subject: [PATCH 51/78] fix(web): stand aside for the three throwables Laravel
 resolves itself, and withdraw the problem fallback with the page
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The wildcard fallback looked only at the REQUEST, so it claimed every throwable
Laravel's own handler resolves in the `match (true)` that runs AFTER
renderViaCallbacks(): HttpResponseException, AuthenticationException and
ValidationException. None of the three is a FireflyException or an
HttpExceptionInterface, so ProblemMapper dropped each to its default arm and
answered 500 / INTERNAL_ERROR / "An unexpected error occurred." — a 422 with its
field errors, a 401, and a response the application had already built, all
replaced by an opaque internal error and reported as one. ErrorPageRenderer::describes()
is now the one term that looks at what was thrown, and the renderable asks it
ahead of both branches: ahead of the problem document, and ahead of the PAGE,
which read the Accept header alone and drew a diagnostic 500 over a browser's
redirect-back-with-errors.

The fallback is also gated on `enabled` now. prefersHtml() folds `json-paths` in,
so an ungated term answered true for a browser on an `api/*` path with the page
switched off — exactly the answer the same flag on forcesJson() was written to
withhold, and the opposite of what the docblock and the reference comment shipped
beside it claimed. One key cannot mean "do not draw the page" on one branch and
"draw nothing at all" on the branch beside it.

Pinned through the real Testbench pipeline, where a unit test of the predicate
cannot see which exceptions Laravel would have resolved one arm later: Laravel
validation keeps its 422 and its field errors for a JSON client and its
redirect-back for a wildcard one, a 401 stays a 401, and a filter-thrown
HttpResponseException still delivers the response it carries. The capstone test
that named the replaced boolean is renamed to the rule the renderable applies and
gains the wildcard and empty-Accept cases it never had.

+The wildcard row is `firefly.web.error-page.problem-fallback` (default `true`); set it to `false` to let a

+**Three exceptions are Laravel's own and LaraFly never answers them**, whatever the table above says:
+`ValidationException`, `AuthenticationException` and `HttpResponseException`. Laravel's handler resolves

From dc662351aba0c8c1b319ba4210ef60321d872efe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Andres Contreras <andres.contreras@soon.es>
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 20:43:54 -0700
Subject: [PATCH 52/78] fix(admin): hide the data browser's search box where
 nothing is searchable, and stop its clear links dropping the page size
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two defects in the commit that moved the data browser onto the shared table system, both of them silent.

The <header> that commit replaced guarded its search form with `@if ($schema->searchable() !== [])`; the
`_panel-head` include that took its place branches on `@isset($query)` alone and this page always passes a
query, so the form is now drawn for every resource. `DataSchema::searchable()` keeps only non-sensitive
string columns, so a join table of `id`, `order_id`, `quantity` — or one whose only text column is masked —
publishes none, and `DataQueryEngine::fetch()` short-circuits to `[[], 0]` the moment that list is empty
(the in-PHP path's `matches()` returns false for every row). The operator was handed a control whose only
possible answer is `0 total` and "Nothing matches" over a table that has rows, with nothing on the page
saying the resource has no searchable column: it reads as data loss. `_panel-head` now takes an optional
`searchable` flag, defaulting to true so the twenty other callers are untouched, and draws the form only
when it is set — inside the `query` branch, so the formatted grand total the browser suite reads as
`3 total` still comes from the same line. Passing a null `query` instead would have hidden the form by
falling through to `@elseif (isset($filter))`, onto the `DataFilter` this view leaves in scope from its own
`@foreach`, and the bare branch below it prints an unformatted count with no word after it.

The three "clear the filters" links — the banner above the table, the filter bar's own button and the empty
state's "clear them all" — were rebuilt from `$base`, which is the resource URL and nothing else, so they
dropped the operator's chosen page size along with the condition: set Rows to 100, apply a filter, clear
it, and the table snapped back to the configured 25 under a reader who had chosen otherwise. They cannot
come from `$query->link()`, which re-emits the carried filters they exist to shed, so they are built from
`ListingQuery::own()` — the listing's own position without the carry — minus `page`, because widening a
result set invalidates the offset into it. The filter controls keep the search term, the way the filter bar
already re-submits `q` as a hidden field so that applying a condition keeps the search; the empty state's
link sheds it too, which is what makes it the way back for a resource that renders no search box to clear a
hand-edited `?q=` from. The comment at the top of the view claimed every in-listing link went through
`link()` while these three did not, and now says which link has to shed a parameter and why.

Regressions on all three, over a new `admin_links` fixture — four integers, the shape of any pivot table,
which is the resource every existing fixture's string column hid.

+
+    A SERVER-NARROWED LISTING CAN STILL HAVE NOTHING TO SEARCH, and `searchable` is how a caller says so
+    WITHOUT losing the grand total. It defaults to true because every actuator listing searches the strings
+    it renders; the data browser is the one caller that has to answer honestly, because
+    `DataSchema::searchable()` keeps only non-sensitive string columns and a join table of ints — or one
+    whose only text column is masked — publishes none. `DataQueryEngine` short-circuits to `[[], 0]` the
+    moment that list is empty, so drawing the box anyway offers a control whose only possible answer is
+    `0 total` and "Nothing matches" over a table that has rows: the operator reads data loss. The count
+    stays in this branch either way, because the number is still the server's grand total — the `filter`
+    and bare branches below print a DIFFERENT thing (a live shown-count, an unformatted tally) and falling
+    through to one of them to hide a form would change what the page says about itself.

+ * itself: it pins what our method does, and it would stay green for ever if Laravel grew a fourth arm,
+ * because nothing in it ever looks at Laravel's handler. For one release the describes() docblock claimed
+ * that test as protection against exactly that — which is worse than having no tripwire, because a
+ * maintainer doing a Laravel upgrade reads the promise and skips re-checking the list, and the new arm
+ * becomes a 500/`INTERNAL_ERROR` problem document in place of whatever Laravel would have resolved. This
+ * file is that claim made true.
+ *
+ * DERIVED, NOT TYPED OUT. `Handler::render()` is read out of the INSTALLED Laravel through reflection —
+ * the class's own file, so it does not matter where the vendor tree lives — and the classes its
+ * `match (true)` resolves are extracted from that source. Nothing below asserts a behaviour of Laravel's
+ * that could drift silently; it asserts the shape of the decision our renderable has to stand aside from,
+ * which is precisely the thing a `composer update` can change under us.
+ *
+ * WHAT A FAILURE HERE MEANS. Not that this test is wrong: that `packages/web/src/Error/ErrorPageRenderer.php`
+ * has a list to re-check. Read the arms this test found, decide whether the new one is a throwable Laravel
+ * resolves ITSELF after `renderViaCallbacks()` has run (it is, if it is in that match), add it to
+ * describes(), add the pipeline case to `CapstoneWebIntegrationTest`, and update this expectation.

Subject: [PATCH 56/78] fix(admin): size the data browser's columns for the
 headers a schema derives, emit its colgroup from TableView, and say what its
 page-size cap really does
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three findings from the review of Task 10, all of them about the listing
this wave moved onto the shared table system.

The rigid <col> widths were chosen from the column TYPE alone. Every
other .ftable listing writes its own labels beside hand-tuned widths, but
this page humanises a database column name — DataColumn::label() turns
`failed_login_attempts` into `Failed login attempts` — so nobody ever saw
the label the width had to hold. Measured in Chromium against these
rules, that header renders 184px inside a 126px box and reads
`FAILED LOGIN ATTE`: `thead th` is nowrap, `table.ftable td,th` is
overflow:hidden with no ellipsis, and under table-layout:fixed the column
cannot grow the way the table-layout:auto this wave replaced did. A rigid
column is now widened to the greater of its type's alphabet and what its
own header needs, through TableColumn::fittingItsHeader() — 1.25ch per
character plus 1.75 for the ordering indicator, both measured and both
documented beside the numbers TableColumn already carries — and the <th>
puts its full label on `title`, because a character count cannot measure
a font.

The colgroup was a second mechanism beside the one packages/admin/src/Table
already owns: literal `calc(19ch + 2 * var(--row-x))` strings in a Blade
@php, with the 19 copied out of TableColumn::stamp()'s default under a
comment claiming the two agreed that nothing enforced. AdminAction::
dataTableView() maps each DataColumn onto the TableColumn kind that knows
its own width and the view emits TableView::widths(), so the 19 is that
default rather than a copy of it and the text columns are the resolvable
percentages the fixed-layout algorithm wants instead of `auto`. The
`t-<dbtype>` classes stay on the cells — they are the database's types,
which ColumnKind does not model — and the header row gains the
`scope="col"` the shared _table-head partial emits. The dead `width:1%`
rules the colgroup replaced are gone with their stale explanation.

And the documented reference for firefly.admin.data.max-page-size still
described a cap. TableSettings::clamp() is a closed set: on the listing
`?size=300` is refused and falls back to 25 rather than being lowered to
200, and so is `?size=10`, which this page's own removed <select> offered
until this wave. The table row, the paragraph under it that contradicted
it, the skeleton's comment and a changelog entry now all say that, and
the stale `?perPage=1000000` is `?size=`.

its consumer verbatim: Config::string() does not trim, ProblemType::of() compares the base to
its 'about:blank' and '' sentinels with ===, and the value is published in the member RFC 9457
§3.1.1 defines as dereferenceable and every API console renders as a link. A base of
" about:blank" published " about:blank/resource-not-found", a Helm block scalar's trailing
newline published a type with a newline inside it, and "javascript:alert(document.cookie)"
reached the wire intact. It is now assigned through self::typeUri() in the constructor, beside
the three self::url() assignments, so the guarantee holds for a settings object built by hand
as well as one read from configuration: the edges are trimmed, an interior tab/LF/CR is
refused, and only '', 'about:blank' or an absolute http(s) base is kept — anything else falls
back to the documented default rather than to '', which is a position an operator takes
deliberately.

The RFC 9457 conformance pass also left the documentation stating the behaviour it inverted.
Both book editions taught the old, un-slashed `instance` as a deliberate lesson one paragraph
below the listing the pass had just edited; ten published samples across the book and the
tutorial showed a document the framework can no longer produce, none of them carrying the
`type` member that is now present by default. Both paragraphs are rewritten around §3.1.5, and
every sample gains its leading slash and its type. docs/modules/error-handling.md is left
alone on purpose: its JSON is the output of the ErrorResponse::fromException() listing printed
above it, and fromException() sets no type.

A new guard in tests/DocsProseIsRealTest.php derives the reference from
ProblemMapper::instanceFor() and the member order from a real ErrorResponse::toArray(), then
holds every "instance" in every fenced block on every prose page to both, and refuses a
paragraph that explains the member as $request->path() without naming what replaced it.
ProblemMapper::instanceFor()'s docblock no longer claims the published document is unfixed.

 Una `FireflyException` — o una de sus subclases tipadas, como `ResourceNotFoundException` — se devuelve intacta y se renderiza con su propio `httpStatus()`, porque su mensaje lo escribió tu aplicación *para* el cliente; ese es justamente el sentido de la taxonomía. El propio límite de tiempo de ejecución de PHP se nombra aparte y responde `503` con una cabecera `Retry-After`, porque «el servidor detuvo esta petición a los N segundos» es algo sobre lo que quien llama puede actuar y un `500` desnudo no lo es. Una excepción HTTP de Laravel/Symfony — una URL que no coincide con ninguna ruta, un verbo que una ruta no acepta — conserva su **código de estado real**, así que una ruta no coincidente sigue respondiendo `404` y nunca un `500` engañoso; solo se reemplaza la redacción del propio enrutador por una frase escrita para una persona, y los verbos permitidos de un `405` pasan a un miembro `allowed` y a la cabecera `Allow`, donde un cliente puede leerlos sin analizar inglés. Cualquier otra cosa es un accidente, y `$disclose` — `firefly.web.problem.disclose`, por defecto `false` — decide si su mensaje puede publicarse siquiera: con él apagado el cuerpo lleva una frase fija que nombra la misma referencia que lleva el `traceId` del documento, y el mensaje real se queda en el log, que es donde el SQL de una `QueryException` y sus enlaces deben estar.

+Pedir un monedero que nunca se abrió se renderiza así.

LaraFly publica la forma relativa a la raíz, que es el único trabajo de `ProblemMapper::instanceFor()`, y un cliente puede compararla con la ruta que pidió. Fíjate también en `type`: el RFC 9457 §3.1.1 dice que un `type` ausente *es* `about:blank`, y LaraFly lo escribe en vez de dejar que el lector tenga que saberlo — apunta `firefly.web.problem.type-uri` a una URI base y el `code` estable deriva uno real y abrible.

 A `FireflyException` — or one of its typed subclasses, like `ResourceNotFoundException` — is returned untouched and renders at its own `httpStatus()`, because its message was written by your application *for* the client; that is the whole point of the taxonomy. PHP's own execution-time limit is named separately and answers `503` with a `Retry-After` header, because "the server stopped this request after N seconds" is something a caller can act on and a bare `500` is not. A Laravel/Symfony HTTP exception — a URL matching no route, a verb a route does not accept — keeps its **real status code**, so an unmatched route still answers `404` and never a misleading `500`; only the router's own wording is replaced with a sentence written for a person, and a `405`'s permitted verbs move into an `allowed` member and the `Allow` header where a client can read them without parsing English. Anything else is an accident, and `$disclose` — `firefly.web.problem.disclose`, default `false` — decides whether its message may be published at all: with it off the body carries a fixed sentence naming the same reference the document's `traceId` carries, and the real message stays in the log, which is where a `QueryException`'s SQL and its bindings belong.
 
-Requesting a wallet that was never opened renders like this. Note `instance`: it is `$request->path()`, which Laravel returns **without** a leading slash, so it is `api/v1/wallets/wlt-999` and not `/api/v1/wallets/wlt-999` — a small thing, and exactly the kind of small thing a client that compares strings gets wrong.
+Requesting a wallet that was never opened renders like this. Note `instance`: RFC 9457 §3.1.5 makes it a URI **reference**, and a relative reference resolves against the document's base URI — so the bare `api/v1/wallets/wlt-999` that `$request->path()` answers, served from `/api/v1/wallets/wlt-999`, would identify `/api/v1/api/v1/wallets/wlt-999`. LaraFly publishes the root-relative form, `ProblemMapper::instanceFor()`'s one job, and a client may compare it to the path it asked for. Note `type` too: RFC 9457 §3.1.1 says an absent `type` *is* `about:blank`, and LaraFly writes it out rather than leaving the reader to know that — point `firefly.web.problem.type-uri` at a base URI instead and the stable `code` derives a real, openable one.

+ * them, over real requests, and the union of what they DREW is asserted to be the whole table.
+ *
+ * WHAT THIS ADDS OVER packages/admin/tests/Data/DataStableSortTest.php, and what it does not. That suite

+ * it fails the moment the tiebreak is dropped. This one cannot make that claim honestly — sqlite's sorter
+ * happens to be stable over a table this size, so the same three pages come back consistent with the
+ * tiebreak removed, which was measured rather than assumed. What it pins is everything BETWEEN the clause
+ * and the reader: three offsets, three rebuilt URLs and three renders, adding up to sixty distinct rows and
+ * no row drawn twice. A slice computed from the wrong size, a page link that lost the sort, or an offset
+ * off by a page are all invisible to a query test and all visible here.
+ *
+ * THE TIED COLUMN IS `created_at` AND NOT `ship_to`, because `DataSchema::sortable()` excludes json columns
+ * by design — ordering a serialized blob sorts its text, which looks like it worked and means nothing — so
+ * `?sort=ship_to` is dropped by ListingQuery and the listing falls back to its identifier, which is the one

Subject: [PATCH 59/78] fix(web): stop the root-relative problem instance from
 naming another origin
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adding a leading slash to `$request->path()` turned a same-origin reference
into a cross-origin one. `path()` does not strip a backslash from a real
request — Symfony refuses one only inside `Request::create()` — so a
REQUEST_URI of `/\evil.test/phish` answers `\evil.test/phish`, which resolves
against this origin, while the prefixed `/\evil.test/phish` enters the URL
parser's special-authority-ignore-slashes state and resolves to
https://evil.test/phish. ASCII tab, LF and CR are the same hazard by the rule
that deletes them before parsing. ProblemMapper::instanceFor() now
percent-encodes all four, which RFC 3986 admits in no path segment anyway, so
the member still identifies the occurrence and ErrorReport's copy is guarded by
the same line.

ErrorResponse::fromException() grows an optional `type`, and the renderer's
thirteen-argument re-declaration of the DTO is gone: that second construction
site had a default for every member, so a member added to ErrorResponse later
would have been dropped from every published document in silence.

The published contract and the prose catch up with both: ProblemSchema
described `instance` as a request path and `type` as a member emitted only when
passed, and both halves were false; the book's OpenAPI chapter said the same in
two languages; the testing chapter taught a toBeProblemDetails() limitation this
wave removed, and samples/lumen now exercises the expectation it used to warn
against; docs/modules/error-handling.md documents firefly.web.problem.type-uri
and the members only the renderer supplies. The prose guard is widened to judge
a paragraph that calls `instance` a request path in either language, which is
the sentence that outlived the conformance pass.

-!!! warning "Una limitación real y honesta: `toBeProblemDetails()` y el campo `type`"
-    El propio `Web\WalletRestTest.php` de `samples/lumen` documenta, en un comentario de código justo al lado de las pruebas que afecta, una brecha genuina: `toBeProblemDetails()` afirma que el cuerpo de la respuesta tiene una clave `type`, pero el renderizador RFC-7807 real del framework (`Firefly\Kernel\Error\ErrorResponse::fromException()`, renderizado por `Firefly\Web\Exception\ProblemDetailsRenderer`) nunca rellena `type` — es un campo opcional que solo se emite cuando se pasa explícitamente, cosa que el camino de excepción-a-respuesta nunca hace. Llamar a `toBeProblemDetails()` contra un `404`/`422`/`403`/`409` genuino que este framework realmente produce falla, siempre, por exactamente esa razón.
+!!! note "`toBeProblemDetails()` y el campo `type`: una limitación real, y cómo se cerró"
+    Esta caja describía una brecha genuina, y vale la pena tenerla a la vista porque es la forma que suelen tener estas cosas. `toBeProblemDetails()` afirma que el cuerpo de la respuesta tiene una clave `type` — y el renderizador real del framework, `Firefly\Web\Exception\ProblemDetailsRenderer`, no publicaba ningún `type`. Era un miembro opcional que solo se emitía cuando algo lo pasaba explícitamente, cosa que el camino de excepción-a-respuesta nunca hacía, así que llamar a la aserción entregada contra un `404`/`422`/`403`/`409` genuino fallaba siempre. Un matcher y un renderizador que se entregan en el mismo framework discrepaban sobre la forma del mismo documento.
 
-    Por eso las propias pruebas de Lumen — como la propia suite de pruebas de remate de `firefly/web` — afirman los campos RFC-7807 directamente en su lugar:
+    El RFC 9457 §3.1.1 lo zanjó: un `type` ausente **es** `about:blank`, así que escribirlo no le cuesta nada a un documento conforme y le ahorra a cada cliente tener que saberse la regla. El renderizador ahora lo emite — el `ProblemDetail` de Spring toma la misma decisión — y `firefly.web.problem.type-uri` o bien apunta a una URI base, derivando un tipo abrible a partir del `code` estable (`https://api.example.test/problems/resource-not-found`), o bien se pone a `''` para volver a omitir el miembro en un despliegue que quiera el documento pre-9457 byte por byte. Así que la aserción funciona contra las propias respuestas de error del framework, y `samples/lumen` la ejercita sobre el 404:
 
 <!-- source: samples/lumen/tests/Web/WalletRestTest.php -->
 ```php
 it('returns RFC-7807 problem+json for an unknown wallet', function () {
     // …

         ->assertJsonPath('title', 'Not Found');
+    // …
+    expect($response)->toBeProblemDetails(404);
 ```
 
-Un libro que solo enseñe lo que genuinamente funciona te haría un flaco favor ocultando esto: `toBeProblemDetails()` es real, se entrega, y la propia suite del paquete de pruebas lo ejercita contra un cuerpo que *sí* lleva una clave `type` — simplemente no es la aserción a la que Lumen recurre contra las respuestas de error reales del framework, y ahora sabes por qué, en lugar de toparte con el mismo fallo en frío.
+Las aserciones sobre campos se quedaron, y esa es la parte que conviene copiar: `toBeProblemDetails()` dice que la respuesta es *un* documento de problema de *ese* estado, mientras que `assertJsonPath('code', 'RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND')` dice cuál es el fallo. La segunda es la que una regresión tumba, así que una prueba que pueda permitirse ambas debería tener ambas.

-!!! warning "A real, honest limitation: `toBeProblemDetails()` and the `type` field"
-    `samples/lumen`'s own `Web\WalletRestTest.php` documents, in a code comment right next to the tests it affects, a genuine gap: `toBeProblemDetails()` asserts the response body has a `type` key, but the framework's real RFC-7807 renderer (`Firefly\Kernel\Error\ErrorResponse::fromException()`, rendered by `Firefly\Web\Exception\ProblemDetailsRenderer`) never populates `type` — it is an optional field only emitted when explicitly passed, which the exception-to-response path never does. Calling `toBeProblemDetails()` against a genuine `404`/`422`/`403`/`409` this framework actually produces fails, every time, for exactly that reason.
+!!! note "`toBeProblemDetails()` and the `type` field: a real limitation, and how it was closed"
+    This box used to describe a genuine gap, and the gap is worth keeping in view because it is the shape these things usually have. `toBeProblemDetails()` asserts the response body has a `type` key — and the framework's real renderer, `Firefly\Web\Exception\ProblemDetailsRenderer`, published no `type` at all. It was an optional member emitted only when something explicitly passed one, which the exception-to-response path never did, so calling the shipped expectation against a genuine `404`/`422`/`403`/`409` failed every time. A matcher and a renderer that ship in the same framework disagreed about the shape of the same document.
 
-    This is why Lumen's own tests — like `firefly/web`'s own capstone test suite — assert the RFC-7807 fields directly instead:
+    RFC 9457 §3.1.1 settled it: an absent `type` **is** `about:blank`, so writing it out costs a conformant document nothing and saves every client from having to know the rule. The renderer now emits it — Spring's `ProblemDetail` makes the same choice — and `firefly.web.problem.type-uri` either points at a base URI, deriving a dereferenceable type from the stable `code` (`https://api.example.test/problems/resource-not-found`), or is set to `''` to drop the member again for a deployment that wants the pre-9457 document byte for byte. So the expectation works against the framework's own error responses, and `samples/lumen` exercises it on the 404:
 
 <!-- source: samples/lumen/tests/Web/WalletRestTest.php -->
 ```php
 it('returns RFC-7807 problem+json for an unknown wallet', function () {

         ->assertJsonPath('title', 'Not Found');
+    // …
+    expect($response)->toBeProblemDetails(404);
 ```
 
-A book that only teaches what genuinely works would be doing you a disservice by hiding this: `toBeProblemDetails()` is real, shipped, and exercised by the testing package's own suite against a body that *does* carry a `type` key — it simply is not the assertion Lumen reaches for against the framework's actual error responses, and now you know why, instead of hitting the same failure cold.
+The field assertions stayed, and that is the part worth copying: `toBeProblemDetails()` says the response is *a* problem document of *that* status, while `assertJsonPath('code', 'RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND')` says which failure it is. The second is the one a regression trips over, so a test that can afford both should have both.

Then set `firefly.web.problem.type-uri` to `https://api.example.test/problems`, re-run, and confirm the member became `https://api.example.test/problems/resource-not-found` while the expectation still passes. Finally set the key to `''` and watch the same expectation fail with the missing-`type`-key message — the failure the note describes, now something a deployment chooses rather than something the framework does to you.
 3. **Run the browser suite, then break a page.** Run `composer test:browser` and look at `tests/Browser/Screenshots`. Then add a `<script>` that throws to the welcome view and re-run: confirm the page still renders, still passes every `assertSee`, and that `assertNoJavaScriptErrors()` is the only assertion that catches it.
 4. **Prove the suite split matters.** Time `composer test` and confirm nothing downloads Chromium. Then try `vendor/bin/pest --exclude-group=browser` and watch Playwright boot anyway — the group label filters tests, the suite split is what stops the files being included at all.
 5. **Add a `RequiresDocker`-gated integration test.** Pick a repository backed by Eloquent, write an `@group integration` test against a real Postgres testcontainer using `fireflyConfigFor()`, and confirm `vendor/bin/pest` (no flags) skips it entirely while `vendor/bin/pest --group=integration` runs it for real.

+**The rendered document carries more than the sample above, and every extra member is one only a request can
+supply.** That listing is a kernel call with nothing in hand but an exception and an `instance`; the renderer
+has the request, so it passes `traceId`, `correlationId`, a `timestamp` and RFC 9457 §3.1.1's `type` as well
+— and `type` is on **every** published document (`about:blank` unless `firefly.web.problem.type-uri` says
+otherwise, below), which is the one member the kernel sample above cannot show you, because nothing in it
+sets one. `instance` is the member with a rule of its own: the renderer builds it through
+`Firefly\Web\Error\ProblemMapper::instanceFor()`, which answers a **root-relative** URI reference
+(`/orders/42`, never `orders/42`) — §3.1.5 makes the member a URI *reference*, and a relative one resolves
+against the document's own base URI, so `orders/42` served from `/orders/42` would identify
+`/orders/orders/42`. The four characters that would let the leading slash open an *authority* instead
+(`\`, and the tab, LF and CR a URL parser deletes before it reads anything) are percent-encoded there, so
+the member can never name a different origin however the request target was spelled.

+**`firefly.web.problem.type-uri` decides what RFC 9457's `type` says, and it has exactly three positions.**
+§3.1.1 makes an absent `type` *identical* to `about:blank`, which makes emitting it a presentation choice
+rather than a conformance one — and LaraFly makes Spring `ProblemDetail`'s choice, writing `about:blank` out
+by default so a client reading the member always finds a string instead of having to encode the RFC's
+equivalence rule. Point the key at an absolute `http(s)://` base and every document instead carries a
+dereferenceable type derived from the stable `code` — `https://api.example.test/problems/resource-not-found`
+— which is the thing LaraFly can do here that Spring cannot, because that identifier is already on every
+error, in the log line and in the support ticket. Set the key to `''` and the member is omitted entirely:
+the pre-9457 document, byte for byte.
+
+Anything else falls back to `about:blank` rather than to silence, because `''` is a position an operator
+takes deliberately and a typo must not be able to take it for them. The vocabulary is
+`ErrorPageSettings::typeUri()`'s — the two sentinels and an absolute `http(s)://` base, edges trimmed the
+way a URL parser trims them, with a relative base, a `javascript:`/`data:`/`file:` scheme, a

+of its own: every API console, IDE HTTP client and documentation viewer that renders a problem document
+turns the member into a link.

 Two more things every problem document carries. **The ids — two of them, related and never conflated.**

The task-10 draft expected production ledes under trace=true and omitted Accept through a harness that supplies HTML. Bind those assertions to the production case and explicitly remove the injected header; shipped behavior takes precedence over the stale plan.

Subject: [PATCH 62/78] test(browser): measure error page height and exercise
 recovery controls

Retain the newer mobile call-boundary and clipboard rejection assertions absent from the old task-11 snippets. Fresh captures bound desktop and phone layouts and the wildcard request exercises the real pipeline.

+### Fixed
+
+- **Error pages:** shorten paths in symlinked deployments and test harnesses, bound the debug stack before
+  rendering, and group dependency frames behind a native disclosure. Frame summaries stay on one line on desktop and give calls a second line on phones;
+  text contrast meets 4.5:1 in both themes. The production facts grid has no empty colored cells and shows
+  the reference once, with selectable text and an optional clipboard enhancement.
+- **Error URL safety:** validate configured home, sign-in, support and problem-type URLs at construction;
+  reject unsafe schemes, authority-relative paths and interior URL control characters.
+- **Problem documents:** substitute invalid UTF-8 and return a degraded document if encoding or a serialization
+  callback fails. Wildcard, absent and unsupported Accept types receive problem+json while error-page
+  fallback is enabled. Laravel's own validation, authentication and carried-response exceptions retain
+  their native handling.
+- **Migration:** problem `instance` values now begin with `/`, with unsafe path characters percent-encoded.
+  Clients comparing the old relative path must account for the leading slash.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Error navigation:** configured sign-in on 401, retry on GET/HEAD 5xx, and home/support links where
+  configured. Production ledes retain safe authored details and 405 pages name the allowed methods.
+- **Error configuration:** documented `max-frames`, `home`, `sign-in`, `support`, `actions`, `copy-button`,
+  `authored-detail`, `problem-fallback` and `problem.type-uri` settings in the reference and module guide.
+- **RFC 9457 type:** `about:blank` by default, a code-derived URI when an HTTP(S) base is configured, or an
+  omitted member when the setting is empty. Omitting `type` does not revert the corrected `instance` path.

+| Extensions | Application-specific members (§3.2) | Stable `code`, reference ids, timestamp, field errors and safe exception extensions. |
+
+**Migration:** `instance` now has a leading slash. A client comparing it to `api/orders/42` must expect
+`/api/orders/42`. `type` is now explicit by default; setting `firefly.web.problem.type-uri` to `''` omits
+that member but does not undo the corrected `instance` behavior. A configured base identifies a problem
+type; the application is responsible for serving documentation at that URI.
+
+**Encoding degrades safely.** Invalid UTF-8 is substituted. If encoding or a serialization callback fails,
+the renderer reports the failure and emits a document preserving scalar metadata, safe authored details
+and encodable field errors and extensions. The [web rendering](#web-rendering-m6) section describes what is disclosed.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Fixed
+
+- **Admin listings:** replace competing column rules with typed columns, fixed table layout and explicit
+  colgroups. Route paths no longer collapse into stacks of characters beside unused space. Rigid column
+  widths include cell padding, and a bounded table scrollport makes sticky headers work.
+- **Stable paging:** append an ascending identity tiebreak so tied rows cannot move between pages. Clamp
+  stale out-of-range pages to the last page; a SQL-backed data listing may need one additional query.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Shared listing controls:** server-side paging, sorting and searching with validated, bookmarkable URL
+  state across routes, beans, conditions, scheduled tasks, configuration, runtime and data listings. Paired
+  listings preserve each other's state, and row-count controls have submit buttons for use without JavaScript.
+- **Table settings:** `firefly.admin.table.page-size`, `page-sizes`, `max-page-size`, `max-height`, `density`
+  and `remember-scroll`. The offered size set is closed; the data browser applies its own bounds in series.
+  Auto-refresh keeps URL state; optional per-URL scroll restoration applies on reload and back/forward.

+
+Every page that draws a list of rows — routes, beans, conditions, scheduled tasks, OAuth2 clients, the
+environment, config properties, caches, loggers, metrics, HTTP traffic and the
+[data browser](data-browser.md) — renders through one system, and it replaced six competing ones.
+
+**Columns are typed, and the type decides the width.** A column declares what it holds — a pill, a figure, a
+timestamp, a short token, a path, a qualified name, prose, one clipped line, a bar, a set of controls — and
+the layout is computed from those declarations into an explicit `<colgroup>` under `table-layout:fixed`.
+Rigid kinds are sized from their own alphabet (seven and a half characters is `DELETE` with room), and the
+rest share what is left in proportion to how much a reader needs.
+
+!!! danger "A `<col>` width includes the cell padding, and that is where `DELETE` went"
+    `box-sizing:border-box` applies to table columns like everything else, so `width:7.5ch` on a padded

+`App\Http\Controllers\Api\V1\WorkspaceController` are the same length in the same font and they are
+discriminated at opposite ends: a path by its head, so it clips at the end; a qualified name by its leaf, so
+it is drawn on two lines with the short name on top and it is the *prefix* that may go. The qualified kind
+takes its separator as a parameter, which is why a dotted config key, a meter name and a class name all get
+the same cell instead of three mechanisms.
+
+!!! note "`overflow-wrap: anywhere` is what collapsed the Path column"
+    Per CSS Text 3, `anywhere` and `break-word` both break an unbreakable token at render time, but
+    `anywhere` also **contributes its break opportunities to min-content sizing**. Under auto layout — which
+    is what every table here had, because none of them declared a `table-layout` — a path's minimum width
+    therefore became one glyph, the engine gave it three characters, and `/greetings/{name}` rendered as six
+    stacked lines beside 1100px of empty column. With seven routes on the page.
+
+**The header stays put.** `thead th` has carried `position:sticky` for as long as this dashboard has
+existed and it had never once worked: the wrapper it sticks inside had `overflow-x:auto` and no height, so
+it never scrolled — `main` did — and a sticky element does not follow an ancestor's scrollport. Giving the
+wrapper `max-height: var(--table-vh)` is the whole fix. The rule under the header is an inset box-shadow
+rather than a border, because under `border-collapse:collapse` a border belongs to the table's border grid
+and stays behind with the rows.
+
+**Paging, sorting and searching happen on the server.** They used to happen in the browser: the complete
+list was rendered into every response and a keyup handler hid rows, which is fine for eleven rows, is a
+janky filter and a large response at two hundred, and produces a "12 of 207" readout that is a statement
+about the DOM rather than about the application. Each listing now reads `page`, `size`, `sort`, `dir` and
+`q` from the URL with every bound applied — the page clamped and never redirected, the size a member of the
+offered set, the sort column one the page actually draws, the term trimmed and length-capped — and every
+link on the page is rebuilt from those parsed values rather than concatenated from carried strings.
+
+Two listings on one page (Conditions, Config properties) each take a **qualifier**, so their parameters are
+`pos_page` and `neg_page` — the same shape Spring gives a controller that resolves two `Pageable`s with
+`@Qualifier` — and each carries the other's position, so paging one never silently resets the other.
+
+!!! danger "A sort with no tiebreak is a listing that loses rows"
+    Ordering by a column with duplicate values leaves the tied rows in whatever order the source finds
+    convenient, and it is free to find a different one convenient for the query behind page 1 and the query
+    behind page 2: a row is then shown on both pages and another on neither, and the reader sees a table
+    that is missing records which are really there. Every listing here appends a second, **always
+    ascending** key over something unique. Ascending even under a descending sort, because it is an identity
+    rather than a second ordering.
+
+Because all of it lives in the URL, it composes with the ten-second **Auto** refresh for free: the refresh
+is a full `window.location.reload()`, so a reader on page 7 of a sorted, searched listing comes back to
+page 7 of the same listing. The only thing a reload cannot restore is the scroll position *inside* a table,
+now that tables scroll in their own box, so that is saved per URL in `sessionStorage` and restored on reload or back/forward navigation when
+`firefly.admin.table.remember-scroll` is enabled. Ordinary navigation starts at the top.

Subject: [PATCH 66/78] fix(admin): distinguish row identities when friendly
 sorting ties

The dossier treated route paths, condition classes and correlation IDs as unique; current endpoint data permits duplicates. Use composite identities and exact text fallbacks so rebuilt listings retain deterministic page boundaries, including descending identifier sorts and the data browser fallback.

Subject: [PATCH 67/78] feat(admin): bound bean exploration with iterative
 graph analysis

Replace recursive levels with iterative SCC condensation, preserve self cycles, and allocate hop columns round robin. The approved design supersedes the old self-edge suppression test: self injection now has explicit cycle coverage. Pre-count factories globally; ambiguous products no longer pretend the first candidate is the container winner. Existing producer projection does not provide scope, so report it as unknown.

Subject: [PATCH 68/78] feat(admin): inspect the compiled route binding
 contract

Read resolver supports without resolving arguments, preserve signature positions and identify shadowed registrations. Derive possible binding failures from ArgumentResolver, correcting the dossier: required body and service bindings do not imply missing parameters, uploads can fail conversion, and only loadable typed bodies hydrate. Read public route metadata with normalized paths and advice binding state without instantiating interceptors.

Subject: [PATCH 69/78] fix(admin): count only final omitted neighbours and
 document bounds

Compute overflow after both directions finish placement so a cyclic neighbor drawn on the opposite side is not reported missing. Add the regression and all eight configuration references. Model and configuration tests pass; PHPStan max passes including the in-progress page work.

Subject: [PATCH 70/78] fix(admin): match validation failures and dispatch
 order to runtime

Assert the displayed validation code against the real ValidationException errorCode and preserve the complete signature order for the dispatch explanation. Pattern sentences use the PHP argument name rather than the wire key.

Subject: [PATCH 71/78] feat(admin): open routes as accessible contract pages

Keep query state across normal links and gate detail, advice and destination pages. Render compiled bindings, effective pattern failures, bounded DTO disclosures, sibling comparisons, duplicate registrations, response handlers and advice provenance. Keep recent traffic and metrics as honest application-wide links; read normalized Laravel metadata without synthetic requests. Document new switches in the skeleton and correct the existing Admin to Web dependency comment without changing edges.

Subject: [PATCH 72/78] test(admin): verify route detail navigation and
 document its contract

Exercise real JavaScript-disabled keyboard navigation, focus, phone table containment and light/dark color contrast. Preserve the original one-line route path geometry assertion by measuring visible path text after links gain hidden verb text. Cover resolver claims, endpoint and page gates, all advice binding states, and documentation for route switches and inspection limits.

+
+## Inspecting a route
+
+Select a path in Routes to open its contract at
+`/firefly/mappings?route=GET%20%2Forders%2F%7Bid%7D#route-detail`.
+The ordinary link works without JavaScript; the optional focus enhancement moves to the route heading.
+Search, sorting, page and size travel with the link and the return link. No detail manifests, resolver
+claims, advice or wiring joins are read on an ordinary listing request.
+
+The page reads the booted Web `RouteManifest`, without widening `/actuator/mappings`. It shows handler
+arguments in signature order, including their wire keys, types, required flags, **compiled attribute
+defaults** and validation flags. A missing type means unrecorded (possibly union, intersection or untyped);
+a null default is not evidence of nullability. Resolver claims take precedence over compiled kinds:
+`#[AuthenticationPrincipal]` can compile as `query` but is shown as injected, alongside services.
+Inspection calls only `supports()` through `resolverFor()` and never executes `resolve()` or the handler.
+
+Possible failures are tied to each unclaimed caller binding. Required path/query/header/file inputs may
+produce `MISSING_PARAMETER`; primitive conversion and multi-file arrays may produce
+`TYPE_CONVERSION_ERROR`. A path pattern mismatch is 404 with its effective code and sentence. Bodies may
+produce `MALFORMED_BODY` or `INVALID_REQUEST`; a loadable DTO adds `UNBINDABLE_BODY`, and a typed `valid`
+body adds a possible 422. These are framework defaults: controller-local and global exception handlers
+can replace responses. Required body/service arguments do not imply a missing-parameter failure.
+
+DTO shapes prefer the compiled `dtos` table and fall back to legacy property names. Native disclosures
+keep the first two levels open, indentation is bounded, recursive references terminate, and a display
+budget limits very large trees. On phones the binding table scrolls horizontally inside its own region.
+The success status is a default; returned responses can override it. HTML stereotypes are shown explicitly,
+while older manifests with no HTML flag remain described as negotiated rather than promised JSON.
+
+Controller siblings appear near the heading with comparison markers. Duplicate verb/path registrations
+are marked **Shadowed** in the list and shown in manifest order on the detail page; the last wins.
+Related links respect each destination's page and endpoint gates. Configuration links identify known
+injected configuration collaborators, never request DTOs. The API reference link uses the actual registered
+viewer route, without guessing an operation fragment. HTTP traffic and Metrics remain application-wide.
+
+The collapsed advice section shows available plan provenance and interceptor binding state: **LIVE**
+means bound, **INERT** means explicitly allowed to be absent, and **UNBOUND** can prevent proxy creation.
+A transactional-only cache asks for recompilation. Declared settings and meter names are shown without
+claiming per-route measurements. Laravel metadata is read from its public route collection with normalized
+URIs and domain checks, without dispatching synthetic requests. No security authorization verdict is inferred.
+
+| Key | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `firefly.admin.routes.detail` | `true` | Offer detail links; false hard-404s every `?route=` URL. |
+| `firefly.admin.routes.advice` | `true` | Read and render the collapsed advice section. False omits it entirely. |

Subject: [PATCH 73/78] fix(admin): keep route contract details and joins
 accurate

Follow qualified bound and unbound configuration filters and verify the linked page actually narrows. Describe html as controller declaration metadata rather than a media-type promise, with ResponseFactory regressions for both stereotypes. Preserve encoded zero defaults, recover clipped binding values and verify the scrolled phone contract on the same browser page.

Subject: [PATCH 74/78] feat(admin): render navigable bounded bean explorer

Replace the whole-graph camera with server-rendered focus columns, native links, complete typed catalogues, module ports and bounded relation, cycle and root-path listings. Preserve factory identities, distinct contracts, honest ambiguity and distinct-neighbour degrees. Document every tunable and the legacy graphMaxNodes migration in both books.

The historical dossier predates the shared typed table and understates the live hover half of the global binder; reuse the current table implementation and remove both old graph bindings. Replace old self-edge suppression with cycle coverage and pair-only deduplication with distinct-contract coverage. Existing table assertions now include accessible sort and paging attributes without reducing behavior coverage.

Validation: composer check exited 0: 4132 passed, 6 skipped, 16766 assertions; Pint, PHPStan max and Deptrac passed. Chromium browser suite exited 0: 110 passed, 965 assertions. Focus, dark, mobile drawing, dense relations and module screenshots inspected.

-### El grafo de beans
+### El explorador de beans
 
-La mayoría de las páginas son tablas. Dos dibujan una imagen — esta, y el [mapa de entidades](#recorrer-el-modelo-relaciones-filtros-y-un-mapa) más adelante en el capítulo — y esta es la que amortiza el paquete el día en que algo está mal cableado.
+`/firefly/graph` abre con búsqueda, puntos de entrada, beans con más dependientes, acoplamiento entre módulos y ciclos del cableado. `?bean=<identidad cualificada>` muestra un entorno acotado; `?module=<namespace>` muestra los beans del módulo y sus relaciones externas; `?q=<término>` busca en el catálogo completo. `/firefly/beans` incluye componentes, productos de fábrica y DTOs de configuración enlazados, ordenados inicialmente por número de dependientes descendente.
 
-`/actuator/beans` te dice *qué* beans existen. No puede decirte a qué está **cableado** cada uno, que es lo que realmente quieres cuando un `#[ConditionalOnMissingBean]` no se disparó como esperabas, cuando un ciclo entre singletons ansiosos ha colgado un arranque sin mensaje alguno, o cuando intentas averiguar a qué se enganchó el paquete que acabas de instalar. `/firefly/graph` responde a eso, como un diagrama SVG por capas más una tabla de relaciones filtrable.
+El bean seleccionado queda entre sus dependientes a la izquierda y sus dependencias a la derecha. PHP calcula las posiciones: cajas de 176×38 píxeles, separadas cada 204×46 píxeles, con un máximo predeterminado de 16 filas por columna y 72 nodos. Dos saltos ocupan 992 píxeles de ancho y hasta 728 de alto. Las cabeceras se desplazan con las columnas. Los enlaces nativos, formularios GET, paginación y foco visible de teclado funcionan sin JavaScript; no hay cámara ni ajuste de escala. Texto y siglas identifican los módulos además del color decorativo.
 
-No se refleja nada para construirlo. `ComponentScanner` ya registra, en tiempo de **escaneo**, los tipos de clase e interfaz que pide el constructor de cada componente, y esa lista viaja en el manifiesto compilado igual que cualquier otro hecho escaneado (abreviado):
+La selección reparte cada columna por turnos entre los nodos de la frontera. Los enlaces de desbordamiento abren las tablas completas y paginadas de vecinos directos del origen, con interfaz y tipo de relación. Las cadenas más cortas desde puntos de entrada explican la alcanzabilidad. Se conservan todas las condiciones positivas y negativas, incluidas las de la configuración productora; la ausencia del endpoint Conditions se tolera.
 
-<!-- source: packages/container/src/Descriptor/ComponentDescriptor.php -->
-```php
-final readonly class ComponentDescriptor
-{
-    // …
-    public function __construct(
-        public string $class,

-        // …
-        /**

-        public array $dependencies = [],
-    ) {}
-// …
-}
-```
-
-Esa última frase es una decisión de diseño en la que merece la pena detenerse. Un parámetro de constructor tipado `string $name` es configuración; dibujarlo como una arista enterraría las relaciones que importan bajo ruido de `string`/`int`. Un parámetro de **clase anulable o con valor por defecto** *sí* se conserva, porque un colaborador opcional sigue siendo una relación.
-
-#### Tres clases de nodo, y por qué la primera versión estaba casi vacía
-
-Antes que las aristas, los nodos — porque la primera versión de esta página los entendió mal de una forma de la que merece la pena aprender. Una aplicación LaraFly tiene **tres clases de bean**, y las tres tienen que ser nodos:
-
-| Clase | Qué es | De dónde sale |
-|---|---|---|
-| `component` | Una clase escaneada `#[Component]`/`#[Service]`/`#[Repository]`/`#[RestController]`/`#[Configuration]` | El catálogo de beans |
-| `bean` | Un valor **producido por un método fábrica `#[Bean]`** de una `#[Configuration]` | Las filas `produces` del catálogo |
-| `config` | Un DTO `#[ConfigProperties]` enlazado desde la configuración | El endpoint `configprops` |
-
-Al principio solo la primera clase era un nodo, y la consecuencia no fue cosmética. El cableado de un framework vive casi por completo en la segunda clase: una autoconfiguración es una `#[Configuration]` cuyos métodos `#[Bean]` producen `MeterRegistry`, `TransactionTemplate`, `AggregateTracker` y demás. Con solo las clases declarantes como nodos, cada arista que apuntaba a uno de esos productos apuntaba a un nodo que no existía. Medido sobre un esqueleto de serie: **42 nodos, 41 productos `#[Bean]` ausentes, 21 dependencias colgando y exactamente una arista dibujada.** La página no mostraba un grafo disperso — era estructuralmente incapaz de mostrar el cableado del framework.
-
-La tercera clase es el mismo error en miniatura. Un DTO `#[ConfigProperties]` está enlazado y es inyectable, pero no se escanea como componente ni lo produce una fábrica, así que nada en el catálogo de beans puede verlo: `App\GreetingProperties` aparecía como *dependencia no resuelta* de `GreetingService` en lugar de como el bean que es. Por eso la página lee el endpoint `configprops` junto al catálogo.
-
-De modo que también hay dos clases de arista, y dicen cosas distintas:
-
-| Arista | De → a | Significado |
-|---|---|---|
-| `injects` | Un bean → algo de lo que declaró depender | El consumidor lo pidió; el contenedor lo satisface |
-| `produces` | Una `#[Configuration]` → el valor que devuelve uno de sus métodos `#[Bean]` | Esta clase es de donde sale ese bean |
-
-Las aristas `injects` se recogen de los parámetros del **constructor** de un componente *y* de los parámetros de cada **método fábrica `#[Bean]`** — el producto depende de lo que su fábrica pidiera. Esa unión es el cableado; los constructores por sí solos son una fracción de él.
-
-Una sutileza sobre la identidad. Un producto `#[Bean]` se identifica normalmente por el **tipo que produce**, porque esa es la clave que enlaza el contenedor y la clave que pide todo consumidor. Pero cuando dos métodos fábrica producen el mismo tipo — la forma que las reglas `#[Primary]`/`#[Qualifier]` del Capítulo 2 existen para desambiguar — el tipo por sí solo los colapsaría en un único nodo y ocultaría justo la ambigüedad por la que abriste la página. Así que cada competidor recibe `Declarante::metodo()` como identidad propia y el tipo desnudo resuelve al primero de ellos, reflejando al contenedor, donde la clave de tipo es un alias del ganador mientras todo candidato sigue alcanzable por nombre.
-
-#### Lo difícil no es dibujar, es resolver

-Un constructor pide un **tipo**, y ese tipo es muy a menudo una interfaz — `EventPublisher`, `HealthIndicator`, `Cache` — mientras que el bean que lo satisface es una clase concreta que meramente la implementa. Una lista de aristas construida ingenuamente a partir de los tipos del constructor apunta entonces a nodos que no existen, y el grafo sale como un campo de puntos desconectados. Pregúntate a qué debería dibujar una flecha la dependencia de `WalletService` sobre `WalletRepository`: no al puerto, que es una interfaz sin bean propio, sino a `EloquentWalletRepository`, que es lo que de verdad se va a construir.
-
-Así que cada dependencia se resuelve a través de un índice de interfaces antes de convertirse en arista:
-
-<!-- source: packages/admin/src/BeanGraphIndex.php -->
-```php
-foreach ($entry['dependencies'] as $dependency) {
-    $target = $this->resolve($dependency);
-
-    if ($target === null) {
-        $unresolved[] = $dependency;
-
-        continue;
-    }
-    // …
-    $edges[] = [
-        'from' => $entry['from'],
-        'to' => $target,
-        'via' => $target === $dependency ? null : $dependency,
-        'type' => $entry['type'],
-    ];
-}
-```
-
-<!-- source: packages/admin/src/BeanGraphIndex.php -->
-```php
-private function resolve(string $type): ?string
-{
-    return isset($this->nodes[$type]) ? $type : ($this->satisfiedBy[$type] ?? null);
-}
-```
-
-El miembro `via` es la honestidad de ese bucle. Cuando la arista pasó por una interfaz, el diagrama la marca y la columna **Wired by** de la tabla de relaciones nombra la interfaz, de modo que quien lee ve la indirección en lugar de que se le muestre calladamente una relación que nunca escribió. Cuando el constructor nombró la clase concreta, la columna simplemente dice `class`.
-
-El índice se construye en orden de catálogo y **gana el primer implementador**, de forma determinista — el catálogo se emite en orden de escaneo, así que la misma aplicación dibuja siempre el mismo grafo en lugar de rebarajarse entre máquinas. Una interfaz con varios implementadores es una ambigüedad real que el contenedor resuelve con `#[Primary]`/`#[Qualifier]`, y el grafo lo dice listando la arista como `via` en lugar de fingir que la elección era obvia.
-
-#### Capas, ciclos y el techo de nodos
-
-Los niveles salen de un recorrido de **camino más largo** sobre las aristas resueltas: la profundidad de un nodo es uno más que la de lo más profundo de lo que depende, y después los niveles se invierten para que el nivel 0 contenga aquello de lo que nada depende. El efecto es que un nodo siempre queda por debajo de todo lo que depende de él, las flechas se leen consistentemente hacia abajo, y la vista puede seguir una cadena desde un controlador hasta el repositorio que hay al final. La vista solo posiciona; los niveles vienen del modelo.
-
-La profundidad se memoiza y el recorrido lleva su propio conjunto de visitados, así que un ciclo termina en lugar de recursar para siempre — y la arista que lo cerró se *reporta*:
-
-<!-- source: packages/admin/src/BeanGraph.php -->
-```php
-foreach ($out[$node] ?? [] as $next) {
-    if (isset($path[$next])) {
-        $cycles[] = ['from' => $node, 'to' => $next];
-
-        continue;
-    }
-    $deepest = max($deepest, $walk($next, $path) + 1);
-}
-```
-
-Ese reporte vale más de lo que parece. El contenedor no tiene detección de ciclos propia, así que un ciclo entre singletons ansiosos no produce un error útil — agota la memoria en el arranque. Una página que nombra las dos clases implicadas convierte "la app murió sin mensaje" en un diagnóstico de cinco segundos, y el consejo del propio panel es el correcto: rompe una de estas aristas, normalmente inyectando una interfaz y dejando que el otro lado dependa de ella.
-
-Dos límites se declaran en la página en lugar de ocultarse:
+Cada relación entre módulos muestra peso (relaciones resueltas), beans destino distintos, interfaces distintas y relaciones concretas. Las aristas de producción se excluyen salvo petición explícita. Las listas siguen paginadas cuando se supera el presupuesto del mapa. El módulo señala la alcanzabilidad exclusiva y los beans sin dependientes; son observaciones del catálogo, no una garantía de que retirar un módulo sea seguro.
 
-* **Pasados los `firefly.admin.graph.max-nodes` — 220 por defecto — el diagrama se suprime** y la tabla de Relaciones de abajo lleva la misma información como una lista filtrable. Un diagrama de más de un par de centenares de nodos es una maraña, no algo que una persona pueda leer, y renderizarlo de todos modos sería peor respuesta que negarse. Es una clave de configuración y no una constante porque "ilegible" depende de la pantalla y de la aplicación.
-* **"Provided outside the container" no es una advertencia.** Esas etiquetas son tipos de constructor satisfechos por un binding del contenedor de Laravel y no por un bean escaneado — la `Request`, el repositorio de configuración, una conexión. Se listan en lugar de descartarse en silencio precisamente porque *"¿por qué no está mi bean en el grafo?"* es la pregunta que la página tiene que responder. Un tipo que aparezca ahí y que esperabas que fuera un bean *tuyo* significa que tu escaneo no lo vio, y `firefly.scan.paths` es lo primero que hay que revisar.
+Tarjan iterativo identifica componentes fuertemente conexos, incluida la autoinyección, sin recorridos recursivos. Un ciclo que incluye producción de fábricas no implica necesariamente un ciclo de constructores en ejecución. Las fábricas competidoras mantienen identidades separadas incluso en configuraciones diferentes. La proyección no aporta los metadatos primary/qualifier necesarios: los destinos ambiguos quedan sin resolver y el ámbito de fábrica se muestra como no informado. Se excluyen los DTOs explícitamente no enlazados. No se instancia ningún bean para inspeccionarlo.
 
-!!! tip "Léelo junto a la página de Condiciones"
-    Las dos responden mitades complementarias de toda sorpresa de auto-configuración. **Condiciones** dice *si* un bean del framework se registró o se echó atrás, y sobre qué condición. **El grafo** dice a qué está cableado el bean que sí ganó, y a través de qué interfaz. Una arista `EventPublisher` apuntando a `InMemoryEventPublisher` cuando configuraste `firefly.eda.provider=rabbitmq` se ve de un vistazo en el grafo; Condiciones nombra entonces el `#[ConditionalOnProperty]` que no casó.
+**Migración:** `firefly.admin.graph.max-nodes` sigue leyéndose en `AdminSettings::$graphMaxNodes` (220 por defecto), pero ya no controla el dibujo. **0 ya no fuerza una lista**. Para una vista tabular utiliza el catálogo completo o las tablas de relaciones.
 
-!!! note "Lo que el grafo sigue sin decidir por ti"
-    Dos límites merecen conocerse, y ninguno es una carencia de datos. **`#[Primary]`/`#[Qualifier]` no dirigen el índice** — gana quien escriba primero en orden de escaneo, tanto para una interfaz con varios implementadores como para la clave de tipo desnuda de un `#[Bean]` disputado. Cada competidor sigue teniendo su propio nodo y la arista se marca `via`, así que la ambigüedad es visible en la página, pero el destino dibujado puede no ser el que resuelve el contenedor. Y **un tipo no resuelto se reporta, nunca se explica**: la página puede decirte que un tipo lo provee algo fuera del contenedor, pero no *qué* enlace lo provee, porque un enlace del contenedor de Laravel no lleva descriptor que leer.
+Las claves nuevas son `firefly.admin.graph.focus.depth` (2, límites 1–4), `focus.max-rows` (16, 4–60), `focus.max-nodes` (72, 8–300), `focus.max-paths` (3, 0–10), `focus.page-size` (50, 10–500), `firefly.admin.graph.starters` (12, 1–50), `firefly.admin.graph.modules.max-nodes` (40, 0–200; 0 desactiva el mapa) y `firefly.admin.beans.page-size` (50, 10–500). Los tamaños de página también respetan los límites compartidos de tablas. Todas están documentadas en `skeleton/config/firefly.php`.

-### The bean graph
+### The bean explorer
 
-Most of the pages are tables. Two draw a picture — this one, and the [entity map](#walking-the-model-relations-filters-and-a-map) later in the chapter — and this is the one that pays for the package on the day something is wired wrongly.
+`/firefly/graph` now opens with search, entry points, heavily depended-on beans, module coupling and wiring cycles. Select `?bean=<qualified identity>` to explore a bounded neighbourhood; `?module=<namespace>` opens that module's beans and boundary relations; `?q=<term>` searches the complete catalogue. `/firefly/beans` includes components, factory products and bound configuration DTOs and defaults to dependent count descending.
 
-`/actuator/beans` tells you *which* beans exist. It cannot tell you what each one is **wired to**, which is what you actually want when a `#[ConditionalOnMissingBean]` did not fire the way you expected, when an eager singleton cycle has hung a boot with no message, or when you are trying to work out what a package you just installed attached itself to. `/firefly/graph` answers that, as a layered SVG diagram plus a filterable relations table.
+The selected bean sits between its dependents on the left and dependencies on the right. Positions are computed in PHP: 176×38-pixel boxes at 204×46-pixel pitch, with at most 16 rows per column and 72 nodes by default. Two hops occupy 992 pixels horizontally and at most 728 vertically. Headings scroll with the content. Native links, GET forms, pagination and visible keyboard focus work without JavaScript; the graph has no camera or fit operation. Module text and sigils complement decorative colours.
 
-Nothing is reflected to build it. `ComponentScanner` already records, at **scan** time, the class and interface types each component's constructor asks for, and that list rides the compiled manifest exactly like every other scanned fact (abridged):
+Frontier candidates share each column round robin. Overflow links open the source bean's complete direct-neighbour tables, with interface indirection and injection/production labels. Shortest entry-point chains explain reachability. The details preserve all positive and negative conditions, including those on the producing configuration; a missing Conditions endpoint is tolerated.
 
-<!-- source: packages/container/src/Descriptor/ComponentDescriptor.php -->
-```php
-final readonly class ComponentDescriptor
-{
-    // …
-    public function __construct(
-        public string $class,
-        public string $stereotype,
-        // …
-        public array $interfaces,
-        // …
-        /**
-         * The class types this component's constructor asks for — the edges of the bean graph.
-         *

-         // …
-         */
-        public array $dependencies = [],
-    ) {}
-// …
-}
-```
-
-That last sentence is a design decision worth pausing on. A constructor parameter typed `string $name` is configuration; drawing it as an edge would bury the relationships that matter under `string`/`int` noise. A **nullable or defaulted class** parameter *is* kept, because an optional collaborator is still a relationship.
-
-#### Three kinds of node, and why the first version was nearly empty
-
-Before the edges, the nodes — because the first version of this page got them wrong in a way worth learning from. A LaraFly application has **three kinds of bean**, and all three have to be nodes:
-
-| Kind | What it is | Where it comes from |
-|---|---|---|
-| `component` | A scanned `#[Component]`/`#[Service]`/`#[Repository]`/`#[RestController]`/`#[Configuration]` class | The beans catalogue |
-| `bean` | A value **produced by a `#[Bean]` factory method** on a `#[Configuration]` | The catalogue's `produces` rows |
-| `config` | A `#[ConfigProperties]` DTO bound from configuration | The `configprops` endpoint |
-
-Only the first kind was a node to begin with, and the consequence was not a cosmetic one. A framework's wiring lives almost entirely in the second kind: an auto-configuration is a `#[Configuration]` whose `#[Bean]` methods produce `MeterRegistry`, `TransactionTemplate`, `AggregateTracker` and the rest. With only declaring classes as nodes, every edge pointing at one of those products pointed at a node that did not exist. Measured on a stock skeleton: **42 nodes, 41 `#[Bean]` products missing, 21 dangling dependencies, and exactly one edge drawn.** The page was not showing a sparse graph — it was structurally incapable of showing framework wiring at all.
-
-The third kind is the same mistake in miniature. A `#[ConfigProperties]` DTO is bound and injectable, but it is neither scanned as a component nor produced by a factory, so nothing in the beans catalogue can see it: `App\GreetingProperties` turned up as an *unresolved dependency* of `GreetingService` rather than as the bean it is. That is why the page reads the `configprops` endpoint alongside the catalogue.
-
-So there are two kinds of edge, too, and they say different things:
-
-| Edge | From → to | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `injects` | A bean → something it declared a dependency on | The consumer asked for it; the container satisfies it |
-| `produces` | A `#[Configuration]` → the value one of its `#[Bean]` methods returns | This class is where that bean comes from |
-
-`injects` edges are collected from a component's **constructor** parameters *and* from every `#[Bean]` **factory method's** parameters — the product depends on whatever its factory asked for. That union is the wiring; constructors alone are a fraction of it.
-
-One subtlety about identity. A `#[Bean]` product is normally identified by the **type it produces**, because that is the key the container binds and the key every consumer asks for. But when two factory methods produce the same type — the shape that Chapter 2's `#[Primary]`/`#[Qualifier]` rules exist to disambiguate — the type alone would collapse them into a single node and hide exactly the ambiguity you opened the page to see. So each competitor gets `Declaring::method()` as its own id and the bare type resolves to the first of them, mirroring the container, where the type key aliases the winner while every candidate stays reachable by name.
-
-#### The hard part is not drawing, it is resolving
-
-A constructor asks for a **type**, and that type is very often an interface — `EventPublisher`, `HealthIndicator`, `Cache` — while the bean that satisfies it is a concrete class that merely implements it. An edge list built naively from constructor types therefore points at nodes that do not exist, and the graph comes out as a field of disconnected dots. Ask yourself what `WalletService`'s dependency on `WalletRepository` should draw an arrow *to*: not to the port, which is an interface with no bean of its own, but to `EloquentWalletRepository`, which is the thing that will actually be constructed.
-
-So every dependency is resolved through an interface index before it becomes an edge:
-
-<!-- source: packages/admin/src/BeanGraphIndex.php -->
-```php
-foreach ($entry['dependencies'] as $dependency) {
-    $target = $this->resolve($dependency);
-
-    if ($target === null) {
-        $unresolved[] = $dependency;
-
-        continue;
-    }
-    // …
-    $edges[] = [
-        'from' => $entry['from'],
-        'to' => $target,
-        'via' => $target === $dependency ? null : $dependency,
-        'type' => $entry['type'],
-    ];
-}
-```
-
-<!-- source: packages/admin/src/BeanGraphIndex.php -->
-```php
-private function resolve(string $type): ?string
-{
-    return isset($this->nodes[$type]) ? $type : ($this->satisfiedBy[$type] ?? null);
-}
-```
-
-The `via` member is the honesty in that loop. When the edge went through an interface, the diagram marks it and the Relations table's **Wired by** column names the interface, so a reader can see the indirection rather than being quietly shown a relationship they never wrote. When the constructor named the concrete class, the column just says `class`.
-
-The index is built in catalogue order and **first implementor wins**, deterministically — the catalogue is emitted in scan order, so the same application always draws the same graph rather than reshuffling between machines. An interface with several implementors is a real ambiguity that the container resolves with `#[Primary]`/`#[Qualifier]`, and the graph says so by listing the edge as `via` rather than pretending the choice was obvious.
-
-#### Layers, cycles, and the node ceiling
-
-Levels come from a **longest-path** walk over the resolved edges: a node's depth is one more than the deepest thing it depends on, and the levels are then flipped so level 0 holds the things nothing depends on. The effect is that a node always sits below everything that depends on it, arrows read consistently downward, and the eye can follow a chain from a controller to the repository at the bottom of it. The view only positions; the levels come from the model.
-
-Depth is memoised and the walk carries its own visited set, so a cycle terminates instead of recursing forever — and the edge that closed it is *reported*:
-
-<!-- source: packages/admin/src/BeanGraph.php -->
-```php
-foreach ($out[$node] ?? [] as $next) {
-    if (isset($path[$next])) {
-        $cycles[] = ['from' => $node, 'to' => $next];
-
-        continue;
-    }
-    $deepest = max($deepest, $walk($next, $path) + 1);
-}
-```
-
-That reporting is worth more than it looks. The container has no cycle detection of its own, so a cycle among eager singletons does not produce a helpful error — it exhausts memory at boot. A page that names the two classes involved turns "the app died with no message" into a five-second diagnosis, and the panel's own advice is the right one: break one of these edges, usually by injecting an interface and letting the other side depend on that.
-
-Two limits are stated in the page rather than hidden:
+Module coupling reports weight (resolved relations), distinct target beans, distinct interfaces and concrete relations. Production edges are excluded unless explicitly included. Module lists remain paginated above the map budget. The module page marks exclusive reachability and beans with no dependents. These are catalogue observations, not proof that removing a module is safe.
 
-* **Past `firefly.admin.graph.max-nodes` — 220 by default — the diagram is suppressed** and the Relations table below carries the same information as a filterable list. A diagram past a couple of hundred nodes is a hairball, not something a person can read, and rendering one anyway would be a worse answer than declining to. It is a config key rather than a constant because "unreadable" depends on the screen and the application.
-* **"Provided outside the container" is not a warning.** Those chips are constructor types satisfied by a Laravel container binding rather than a scanned bean — the `Request`, the config repository, a connection. They are listed rather than silently dropped precisely because *"why is my bean not in the graph"* is the question the page has to answer. A type appearing there that you expected to be a bean of *yours* means your scan did not see it, and `firefly.scan.paths` is the first thing to check.
+Iterative Tarjan SCC analysis reports all cycle members, including self-injection, without recursive walks. Since the wiring graph includes factory production, an SCC is not necessarily a runtime constructor cycle. Competing factory methods keep separate identities, even across configuration classes. The projection lacks primary/qualifier metadata, so ambiguous targets remain unresolved rather than guessing the container winner; factory scope is reported as unknown. Explicitly unbound configuration DTOs are excluded. No bean is instantiated to inspect it.
 
-!!! tip "Read it next to the Conditions page"
-    The two answer complementary halves of every auto-configuration surprise. **Conditions** says *whether* a framework bean was registered or backed off, and on which condition. **The graph** says what the bean that did win is wired to, and through which interface. An `EventPublisher` edge pointing at `InMemoryEventPublisher` when you configured `firefly.eda.provider=rabbitmq` is one glance on the graph; Conditions then names the `#[ConditionalOnProperty]` that did not match.
+**Migration:** `firefly.admin.graph.max-nodes` still parses into `AdminSettings::$graphMaxNodes` (default 220), but no longer controls rendering. In particular, **0 no longer forces a list**. Use the complete catalogue or relation tables for a tabular view.
 
-!!! note "What the graph still does not decide for you"
-    Two limits are worth knowing, and neither is a gap in the data. **`#[Primary]`/`#[Qualifier]` do not steer the index** — first writer in scan order wins, both for an interface with several implementors and for the bare type key of a contested `#[Bean]`. Every competitor still gets its own node and the edge is marked `via`, so the ambiguity is visible on the page, but the drawn target may not be the one the container resolves. And **an unresolved type is reported, never explained**: the page can tell you a type is provided outside the container, but not *which* binding provides it, because a Laravel container binding carries no descriptor to read.
+The new settings are `firefly.admin.graph.focus.depth` (2, bounded 1–4), `focus.max-rows` (16, 4–60), `focus.max-nodes` (72, 8–300), `focus.max-paths` (3, 0–10), `focus.page-size` (50, 10–500), `firefly.admin.graph.starters` (12, 1–50), `firefly.admin.graph.modules.max-nodes` (40, 0–200; 0 disables the map), and `firefly.admin.beans.page-size` (50, 10–500). Relation/catalogue page sizes also obey shared table limits. All keys are documented in `skeleton/config/firefly.php`.

-# Bean Graph
-
-The bean graph is the one page of the [admin dashboard](admin.md) that is more than a table: a layered, drawn
-diagram of how your beans depend on one another, at `/firefly/graph`.
-
-It answers a question `/actuator/beans` cannot. That endpoint tells you *which* beans exist; the graph tells you
-what each one is **wired to**, which is what you actually want when a `#[ConditionalOnMissingBean]` did not fire the
-way you expected, when a cycle has hung a boot, or when you are trying to work out what a package you just
-installed attached itself to.
-
-The graph is a dashboard page included in `fireflyframework/larafly`; no separate package is needed.
-
-## What counts as a node
-
-A LaraFly application has **three kinds of bean**, and all three are nodes:
-
-| Kind | What it is | Where the node comes from |
-|---|---|---|
-| `component` | A scanned `#[Component]`/`#[Service]`/`#[Repository]`/`#[RestController]`/`#[Configuration]` class | The beans catalogue |
-| `bean` | A **value produced by a `#[Bean]` factory method** on a `#[Configuration]` | The `produces` rows of the catalogue |
-| `config` | A `#[ConfigProperties]` DTO bound from configuration | The `configprops` endpoint |
-
-That list is the whole design, and it is worth saying why, because the first version of this page only knew about
-the first kind and was therefore *structurally incapable* of showing framework wiring.
-
-A framework's wiring lives almost entirely in the second kind. An auto-configuration is a `#[Configuration]` whose
-`#[Bean]` methods produce `MeterRegistry`, `TransactionTemplate`, `AggregateTracker` and so on. When only declaring
-classes were nodes, every edge pointing at one of those products pointed at a node that did not exist. Measured on
-a stock skeleton: **42 nodes, 41 `#[Bean]` products missing, 21 dangling dependencies, and exactly one edge drawn.**
-The graph was not sparse — it was a field of disconnected dots with the mechanism removed.
-
-The third kind is a smaller version of the same mistake. A `#[ConfigProperties]` DTO is bound and injectable but is
-neither scanned as a component nor produced by a factory, so nothing in the beans catalogue can see it: it showed
-up as an *unresolved dependency* of the service that injects it rather than as the bean it is. It is read from the
-`configprops` endpoint alongside the catalogue for exactly that reason.
-
-### The identity of a `#[Bean]` product
-
-Usually the produced **type** is the identity, because that is the key the container binds and the key every
-consumer asks for. `MeterRegistry` is the node; the `#[Configuration]` that made it is recorded on the node as a
-detail (`ObservabilityAutoConfiguration::meterRegistry()`), not as its name.
-
-When **two factory methods produce the same type** — the shape that requires `#[Primary]`/`#[Qualifier]` to
-disambiguate — the type alone would collapse them into one node and hide exactly the ambiguity the reader came to
-look at. So each competitor gets `Declaring::method()` as its id, and the bare type resolves to the first of them.
-That mirrors the container itself, where the type key aliases the winner and every candidate stays reachable by
-name.
-
-## What counts as an edge
-
-Two kinds, and they mean different things:
-
-| Edge | From → to | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `injects` | A bean → something it declared a dependency on | The consumer asked for it; the container satisfies it |
-| `produces` | A `#[Configuration]` → the value one of its `#[Bean]` methods returns | This class is where that bean comes from |
-
-`injects` edges are drawn for a component's **constructor** parameters *and* for a `#[Bean]` **factory method's**
-parameters — the product depends on what its factory asked for. That union is where a framework's wiring actually
-lives, and a graph built from constructors alone draws almost nothing.
-
-Nothing is reflected at request time to work any of this out. `ComponentScanner` records the types at **scan** time
-and they ride the compiled manifest exactly like every other scanned fact:
-
-<!-- source: packages/container/src/Descriptor/ComponentDescriptor.php -->
-```php
-/**
- * The class types this component's constructor asks for — the edges of the bean graph.
- *
- * Recorded at scan time, where reflection is already sanctioned, because the alternative is
- * reflecting at request time to answer "what depends on what", which the reflection-free boot
- * contract forbids. Only CLASS and INTERFACE types are kept: a scalar or a builtin is configuration,
- * not a wiring edge, and putting it in the graph would drown the edges that matter.
- *
- * Last, with a default, so a manifest compiled before this field existed still rehydrates.
- *
- * @var list<string>
- */
-public array $dependencies = [],
-```
-
-A `string $name` parameter is configuration, not wiring, and is not an edge. A **nullable or defaulted** class
-parameter *is* an edge — an optional collaborator is still a relationship.
-
-## Why an edge through an interface is labelled with that interface
-
-A constructor asks for a **type**, and that type is very often an interface — `EventPublisher`,
-`HealthIndicator`, `Cache` — while the bean that satisfies it is a concrete class, or the return of a factory
-method. An edge list built naively from declared types therefore points at nodes that do not exist.
-
-So every dependency is resolved through an index of *what satisfies what* — a component's `interfaces`, and every
-`#[Bean]` method's produced type — before it becomes an edge. `PostgresEventPublisher` is what `EventPublisher`
-links to.
-
-The edge then records the interface it went through, in a member called **`via`**, and both surfaces show it: the
-diagram's edge `<title>` reads `Consumer → Target (via EventPublisher)`, and the **Relations** table has a
-*Wired by* column naming the interface, or `—` when the constructor named the concrete type.
-
-That label is the honesty in the whole page. Without it the reader is shown a relationship they never wrote —
-`WalletService → EloquentWalletRepository` is *true*, but what they wrote was `WalletRepository`, and the gap
-between the two is precisely where a mis-wiring hides. With it, the indirection is visible and the port they
-depend on is named.
-
-The index is built in catalogue order and **first implementor wins**, deterministically — the catalogue is emitted
-in scan order, so the same application always draws the same graph rather than reshuffling between machines. An
-interface with several implementors is a real ambiguity that the container resolves with `#[Primary]`/`#[Qualifier]`,
-and the graph says so by listing the edge as `via` rather than pretending the choice was obvious.
-
-## Layers, and why arrows read downward
-
-Level assignment is a **longest-path** walk over the resolved edges: a node's depth is one more than the deepest
-thing it depends on, and the levels are then flipped so that level 0 holds the things nothing depends on. The
-result is that a node always sits below everything that depends on it, arrows flow consistently downward, and the
-eye can follow a chain from a controller to the repository at the bottom of it.
-
-Within a level the nodes are **clustered by module** — the first two namespace segments, `Firefly\Observability`,
-`App\Http` — so related things end up adjacent rather than scattered, and each module gets a stable colour assigned
-by position, with a legend whose entries toggle. Hues are kept away from the red and green the rest of the
-dashboard reserves for status.
-
-Each level is then **wrapped into a grid of its own** rather than laid out as one row. A pure layered layout is
-wrong for this graph: dependency depth is shallow and wide, so most beans land on one or two levels — a stock
-skeleton produced a single row 54 nodes and 9184px across, which the fit-to-view control then scaled to 11%, i.e.
-unreadable. Wrapping keeps the drawing a compact rectangle while arrows still read downward from dependents to
-dependencies.
-
-## Cycles are reported, not fatal
-
-Depth is memoised and the walk carries its own visited set, so a **cycle terminates instead of recursing forever**.
-The edge that closed it is collected, and when the walk finds one a *Circular dependencies* panel appears above the
-diagram listing every closing edge, with the **Cycles** stat turned red.
-
-Reporting rather than throwing is the deliberate choice, and it is worth being explicit about why. A cycle is a
-fact about *your application*, not a malfunction of the page that drew it — and the page is very often the only
-thing that can tell you. The container has no cycle detection of its own, so a cycle among eager singletons does
-not produce a helpful error: it exhausts memory at boot. If this page refused to render on finding one, the single
-tool capable of naming the two classes involved would go dark at exactly the moment you needed it, and you would be
-back to a process that died with no message.
-
-So it renders, draws everything else, and names the closing edges. The panel's own advice is the right one: break
-one of these edges, usually by depending on an interface and letting the other side provide it.
-
-## The panels
-
-| Panel | Shows | Notes |
+# Bean Explorer
+
+The [admin dashboard](admin.md) exposes the bean explorer at `/firefly/graph`. It starts with search,
+entry points, heavily depended-on beans, module coupling and wiring cycles. Selecting a bean draws a
+bounded neighbourhood; the application size never disables exploration. All navigation uses GET forms
+and ordinary links, including when JavaScript is disabled.
+
+## Four states, one URL
+
+| URL | What it shows |
+|---|---|
+| `/firefly/graph` | Search, starters, module overview and cycles |
+| `/firefly/graph?q=OrderService` | Paginated matches on identity, factory detail and stereotype |
+| `/firefly/graph?bean=App%5COrders%5COrderService&depth=2&dir=both` | Focus bean, hop columns, root chains, conditions and direct relations |
+| `/firefly/graph?module=App%5COrders` | Module beans, exclusive reachability and boundary coupling |
+
+`/firefly/beans` is the complete paginated catalogue, sourced from the same graph. It includes scanned
+components, `#[Bean]` products and bound `#[ConfigProperties]` DTOs, and opens with dependent count
+descending. Every identity links to its focus view. Interface search on component rows remains available.
+
+## Reading a neighbourhood
+
+Dependents sit to the left; dependencies sit to the right. Columns show graph distance from the selected
+bean. PHP computes the positions at a fixed 176×38 pixels per node, 204-pixel column pitch and 46-pixel
+row pitch. Two hops in both directions occupy 992 pixels horizontally, at most 728 pixels high with the
+default 16-row bound. Smaller neighbourhoods use fewer rows. Depth three expands to 1400 pixels and
+scrolls inside the drawing; headings scroll with their columns. There is no fit, camera, zoom or pan mode.
+
+Every box is a native HTML anchor over decorative SVG edges, with keyboard focus and a full accessible
+name. Labels remain at least 11 pixels. Module sigils and text identify modules independently of colour;
+decorative stripes use 38% lightness in light mode and 62% in dark mode. Text uses the dashboard's readable
+ink colours instead of those hues.
+
+Each frontier receives candidates round robin, so one hub cannot consume all of a column's budget.
+`+N more` links open the source bean's complete, paginated direct-neighbour tables. The two lists preserve
+the selected bean, depth, direction and each other's filters. They show the `via` interface and whether
+the relation injects or produces. Same-column, skip-hop and cyclic relations remain in these lists.
+
+Root chains are shortest-first and deterministic. The details join every positive and negative condition
+for the bean and its producing configuration; a class can legitimately have both outcomes under different
+conditions. An absent Conditions endpoint simply omits those details.
+
+## Modules and cycles
+
+Modules are the first two namespace segments (or the only namespace segment, or `(global)`). The bounded
+module overview presents each module's outgoing coupling. Module and coupling tables remain paginated
+when the map exceeds its configured ceiling. Fewer than three modules use the module list directly.
+
+Each module edge reports **Weight** (resolved dependency relations), **Beans** (distinct targets), **Via**
+(distinct interfaces) and **Concrete** (direct relations). Factory `produces` edges are excluded by
+default; a GET link includes them. The module view marks beans reachable only from that module and beans
+with no dependents (`unused outside`). Exclusive reachability is a graph observation, not proof that
+removing a module is safe: external Laravel bindings and runtime lookups are outside this catalogue.
+
+Iterative Tarjan analysis finds complete strongly connected components, including self-injection. The
+condensed graph supplies levels without recursive PHP calls; a 5000-node chain does not exhaust the call
+stack. Module coupling has its own SCC analysis. A component denotes a cycle in the published wiring
+graph; because factory production is represented too, it does not necessarily imply a runtime constructor
+cycle. Bean names in a component are members, not a claimed path ordering.
+
+## What the catalogue can establish
+
+No beans are instantiated and no reflection runs to build this page. Component dependencies and factory
+products come from the scanned or compiled catalogue. Bound configuration DTOs come from `configprops`;
+explicitly unbound DTOs are omitted. Factory products carry the declaring method as their detail.
+
+Competing factories retain distinct `Declaring::method()` identities even when declared in separate
+configuration classes. The projection does not contain enough primary/qualifier metadata to choose the
+container's winner. Ambiguous factory return types and interfaces therefore remain unresolved instead
+of drawing an arbitrary target. Factory scope is displayed as **Not reported** when the projection does
+not provide it. An unresolved type can also be supplied by a Laravel binding or absent from the scan;
+the explorer cannot distinguish those cases from the published metadata alone.
+
+## Configuration and migration
+
+| Key | Default | Bounds / meaning |
 |---|---|---|
-| Stats | Beans, Components, `#[Bean]` products, Config DTOs, Relations, Layers, Cycles | Cycles renders as a red chip when non-zero |
-| Circular dependencies | Every closing edge, `Bean` → `Depends on` | Only rendered when there is at least one |
-| Wiring | The layered SVG diagram — module legend with toggles, a find box, Fit/Reset controls, drag-to-pan and scroll-to-zoom, and an inspector panel showing a selected bean's dependencies and dependents | Suppressed past the node ceiling |
-| Relations | Every edge as `Bean` / `Depends on` / `Wired by` | Always rendered, filterable — the fallback when the diagram is suppressed |
-| Provided outside the container | Declared types nothing in the container provides | Chips, with the full type as a tooltip |
-
-Each node is a rounded box carrying the bean's short name, its kind, and its in/out degree; its `<title>` carries
-the fully-qualified identity and, for a `#[Bean]` product, the factory method that produced it. Edges are curves
-with an arrow marker, styled by edge type, and an edge that went through an interface carries the interface in its
-title.
-
-The diagram is plain inline SVG generated server-side — no JavaScript graph library, no layout engine, no network
-request. It is the same "no npm step, no CDN" rule the [rest of the dashboard](admin.md#no-build-step) follows.
-
-## Two honest limits
-
-**Past 220 nodes the diagram is suppressed.** The ceiling is `firefly.admin.graph.max-nodes`, default `220`; above
-it the Wiring panel says so and the Relations table below carries the same information as a filterable list. A
-diagram past a couple of hundred nodes is a hairball, not something a person can read, and rendering one anyway
-would be a worse answer than declining to. It is configurable because "unreadable" depends on the screen and the
-application — raise it to draw a bigger graph anyway, or set it to `0` to always get the list.
-
-**"Provided outside the container" is not a warning.** Those are declared types satisfied by a Laravel container
-binding rather than a bean — the `Request`, the config repository, a database connection, a framework contract.
-They are listed rather than silently dropped precisely because *"why is my bean not in the graph"* is the question
-this page has to be able to answer. A type appearing there is usually correct; a type appearing there that you
-expected to be a bean of yours means your scan did not see it, and `firefly.scan.paths` is the first thing to
-check.
-
-## Reading it against the Conditions page
-
-The graph and [Conditions](admin.md#the-pages) answer complementary questions, and the pair is the fastest
-way to diagnose an auto-configuration surprise:
-
-1. **Conditions** says *whether* a framework bean was registered or backed off, and on which condition.
-2. **The graph** says what the bean that *did* win is wired to, and through which interface.
-
-An `EventPublisher` edge pointing at `InMemoryEventPublisher` when you configured `firefly.eda.provider=rabbitmq`
-is visible in one glance on the graph, and Conditions then tells you which `#[ConditionalOnProperty]` did not match.
-
-## Known-latent
-
-- **`#[Primary]`/`#[Qualifier]` do not steer the index.** First writer in scan order wins, both for an interface
-  with several implementors and for the bare type key of a contested `#[Bean]`. Every competitor still gets its own
-  node and the edge is marked `via`, so the ambiguity is visible — but the drawn target may not be the one the
-  container resolves.
-- **No crossing minimisation.** Nodes are ordered within a level by module and then label, and levels are wrapped
-  into grids; there is no pass that reorders them to reduce edge crossings, so a dense graph has crossing edges.
-- **An unresolved type is reported, never explained.** The page can say a type is provided outside the container;
-  it cannot say by *which* binding, because a Laravel container binding carries no descriptor to read.

+The old whole-graph view has been removed. `AdminSettings::$graphMaxNodes` still parses and clamps the
+legacy key, but no page reads it. **Setting it to 0 no longer forces a list**, and raising it no longer draws
+the whole graph. Use the complete catalogue or the relation lists for a tabular view, and the new focus
+budgets to adjust drawing limits. Shared `firefly.admin.table.*` settings still control density, paging
+choices and scrollport behaviour. No npm build, CDN or graph library is required.

Subject: [PATCH 75/78] test(admin): verify native bean exploration across
 browser engines

Exercise true no-JavaScript search and anchor activation, visible keyboard focus, mobile fixed geometry and aligned headings, both-theme text contrast, exact dense overflow, and module ports. Safari uses its native macOS Option-Tab link navigation. Update the dashboard heading assertion for the approved explorer replacement.

Validation: full Chromium suite exited 0 with 110 tests and 984 assertions; focused Firefox and Safari each exited 0 with 7 tests and 30 assertions. Pint and PHPStan max passed after the final test edits. Inspected light, dark, scrolled phone, dense relation and module screenshots; generated evidence remains ignored.

Subject: [PATCH 76/78] fix(openapi): align generated contracts and make the
 reference readable

Runtime dispatch validates typed bodies, rejects path patterns with 404, and selects response media from returned values. Correct the generator and older documentation assumptions, retaining authored response overrides.

Verify the compiled skeleton operations, tags, nested schemas and response statuses in Swagger. Improve contrast and WebKit phone controls without changing vendor assets. Full composer check and browser gates pass; no dependency or build changes.

+- **OpenAPI contracts:** derive path-pattern `404` responses and restrict inferred validation `422` responses
+  to typed request bodies. Included page controllers now preserve their actual JSON, HTML or redirect return
+  contract. Browser coverage checks every generated operation, tag, response and component, including nested
+  schemas and keyboard access on phones.
+- **OpenAPI readability:** improve local Swagger text contrast for method and version badges, links, actions,
+  code examples, schema controls and constraints; verify expanded schemas with either system color preference.
+  Normalize native schema buttons and wrap operation controls to prevent phone overflow in WebKit.
 - **Error pages:** shorten paths in symlinked deployments and test harnesses, bound the debug stack before
   rendering, and group dependency frames behind a native disclosure. Frame summaries stay on one line on desktop and give calls a second line on phones;
   text contrast meets 4.5:1 in both themes. The production facts grid has no empty colored cells and shows

 Lee el nombre antes que el cuerpo: `excluded()` responde *deja esta ruta fuera*, así que cada `return true` de arriba es una ruta que **no** llega al documento. El primer brazo es la regla de `#[Controller]`, el segundo es `#[ApiIgnore]`, y el tercero es la lista configurada de prefijos de ruta.

Forma parte de la superficie HTTP de la aplicación, pero no es una operación JSON, y describirla como `application/json` haría que un generador emitiera un cliente tipado para una respuesta que es una página web — la propia página de bienvenida del framework estaba en la especificación exactamente así antes de que existiera esta regla. Pon `firefly.openapi.include-html` a `true` y la ruta se documenta igualmente, pero con honestidad: la operación se produce entonces con contenido `text/html` y un esquema `type: string`, no con un esquema JSON que sería una mentira sobre la que un generador de clientes actuaría fielmente.

El estereotipo no determina el medio de respuesta.
