Trace Graph (Tree View and Graph View) and Flame Graph had no zoom
buttons, so zooming needed a mouse wheel or trackpad gesture. They now
share the zoom in / zoom out / fit control and zoom logic that Service
Graph already had (useChartZoom + ChartZoomControls). Flame Graph zooms
by narrowing the visible time range and pans by dragging or by
horizontal / shift wheel; selecting a span outside the window brings it
into view, and a new trace resets the zoom.
Tree View gave every copy of a repeated service the same latency and
error state, built from all of that service's spans. Each node now takes
its numbers from the spans on its own ancestor path, and the hover
tooltip resolves the node by its position in the tree the chart draws,
so it stays right while the service search filters the tree.
Service Catalog selected infer_service_system and infer_service_type
whenever infer_service_name existed, so streams without them got a 400,
and the failure was shown as "No services found" or as the previous
stream's rows. Absent columns are now selected as NULL, and a failed
query clears the rows and shows the load-error state with the server
message and Retry.
With Auto Run off, a header org switch still searched: the remounted
page could read the previous org's URL, whose stream= counted as a
shared link, and the Rate and Duration panels queried because
searchApplied survived the reset. During an org switch a URL that still
names the org being left is no longer treated as a shared link, and the
reset clears searchApplied. A shared link for another org still
searches.
chore: update package.json scripts for improved type-checking
fix: adjust frontmatter regex to handle BOM characters
refactor: streamline error handling in dashboard data conversion
style: clean up comments and formatting in various files
# Design System Unification — one visual language, enforced end-to-end
Establishes **one source of truth for every visual decision**, wires the
whole app to it, and **locks it in with CI** so it can't drift back.
### Foundations
- **Design-token system ("one knob per decision").** Every colour, text
size, spacing, corner radius, and shadow is a named token defined in
exactly one place — change the token, every screen updates. Collapsed
hundreds of near-duplicate definitions and removed "fake" duplicates
that pretended to be different but weren't.
- **Shared component library (O2).** Buttons, tables, dialogs, drawers,
form fields, badges, etc. already know the correct colours, spacing, and
dark-mode behaviour; new screens compose them instead of hand-styling.
Added new primitives on this branch (`OContent`, `KpiCard`) and
standardized existing ones.
- **One page structure everywhere** (`PageLayout` / `AppPageHeader` /
`AppPage` / `OContent`) — titles, breadcrumbs, spacing, and content
edges line up identically across every screen.
- **One table implementation** — all tabular data uses the same table
(sorting, density, sticky headers, empty states).
- **Styling consolidated onto Tailwind; old systems removed** —
hand-written CSS driven to the practical minimum, the legacy **Quasar**
framework fully removed, surviving stylesheets required to justify
themselves.
- **Two-tier corner radius** — a tight **4px** for controls and a soft
**12px** for surfaces (dialogs, cards, the app shell), plus a
full-circle option — replacing five radius names that all secretly meant
the same thing.
### Detailed improvements across screens
**Page structure & alignment** — unified page shell rolled across ~40+
screens (IAM, Settings, Alerts, Dashboards, Functions, Pipelines, RUM,
Metrics, Synthetics, Billing, editors, lists); one header height; one
page-edge grid driving headers, tables, rails, and tabs; unified
side-rail widths; inset rail selection/hover pills; every tab strip on
the grid line; tightened title/subtitle spacing.
**Tables (cross-screen)** — action columns consistently centered (incl.
Organizations); unified row-number column with no "#" truncation;
non-standard tables restyled to match; loading skeletons made
geometrically identical to the loaded table; symmetric edge inset; IAM
first-column grid alignment fixed.
**Traces** — flame graph + span-detail correlation panel fixes;
correlated logs/metrics placeholder fit; sticky headers; removed a
double scrollbar + a 1px sliver; aligned table fonts/badges; polished
the service detail drawer; stream-selector + correlation alignment;
aligned loading spinners; floating overlay arrows for the
disabled-services strip.
**Logs** — field-list controls aligned (focus ring no longer clipped);
detail-drawer spacing + metrics-tab overflow fixed; Run Query toolbar
tidied; listing sizing + stray border fixed.
**Metrics** — search added to the "Type" facet rail and aligned with the
other rails; proper empty states for the explorer and facet rail.
**Dashboards** — removed inconsistent card shadows; tightened
borders/resizers/field-list spacing; aligned View Dashboard chrome to
the grid; chart colours via the token helper.
**Home** — redesigned the Usage tab; added reusable KPI stat cards so
summary strips stop drifting.
**Dark mode** — new theme-switch animation; fixed a 1px content shift on
toggle and a white flash on load; fixed AI-chat text and assorted
light/dark mismatches; completed the token-driven dark migration.
**Empty states, controls & small polish** — restored 3 broken
empty-state animations; adopted the standard empty state; added the
sliding indicator to the toggle control; fixed the Quality-page inset +
drawer badge; refreshed Search History / Schedulers; fixed the
alert-history drawer scrollbar + timeline hover; removed a stray
menu-bar border.
### Dead code & cruft removal
- **Deleted the entire legacy `utilities.css`** global stylesheet (well
over a thousand lines) — evacuated in waves, roughly half of it dead
once traced.
- **Removed Quasar entirely**, including dead `.q-*` styles and ~25
phantom `--q-*` variables that were silently breaking bits of the UI.
- Stripped hundreds of **dead CSS classes and tokens that compiled to
nothing** — e.g. 46 uses of a colour class with no backing token, a
no-op shadow class on 51 elements, dead layout/utility classes, a
leftover `card-container` block, a dead table-actions token, and a
mis-registered gradient that rendered nothing.
- Cut **unused keyframe animations (19 → 3)** and removed **unused
components** + a stray build artifact.
- Net effect: a much smaller, leaner styling surface — less to maintain,
fewer dead ends to copy.
## Safety & verification
Large but low-risk: this is overwhelmingly a **styling and structure**
change, not product behaviour or data. Guarded by the
design-token/consistency/type checks above plus the existing test suite,
and reviewed screen-by-screen.
