🎯 Key Fixes Summary

Fix #1: "Barfing" Palette Window (SOLVED ✅)

Root Cause: .node-palette { max-height: 200px } was forcing entire palette to compress

Solution Applied:

.node-palette {
  height: 100%; /* ← Changed from max-height: 200px */
  flex: 1;
  min-height: 0; /* ← Critical for flex to work */
}

.palette-scroll {
  flex: 1; /* ← Makes scroll area fill space */
  min-height: 0; /* ← Enables overflow: auto to work */
}

Result: Palette now stays in floating window on left, doesn't collapse! 🎉

Fix #2: Mushroom Handle Sizes (SOLVED ✅)

Root Cause: Touch targets too small for iPad/mobile clicking

Solution Applied:

• Connection ports: 24×8px → 48×16px (56×18 on hover)
• Card buttons: 4px padding → 12px 16px (min 44×44px)
• Palette icons: 30×48px → 64×64px (HUGE!)
• All buttons: Added hover/active effects for tactile feedback

Result: Easy to click on any mobile device! 🍄

Fix #3: Palette Width Constraint (SOLVED ✅)

Root Cause: .palette-item { max-width: 20% } was squishing items

Solution Applied:

• REMOVED the max-width: 20% constraint
• Changed to width: auto with flexbox
• Items now take full width of container

Result: Items display at full width in palette! ✅
