Viewports

This skill renders one page at a fixed set of widths and heights. It measures each render for sideways scroll, clipped text, small targets and controls that only hover reveals.

Every width rendered, none inferred

The widths are exact: 320, 375, 768, 1024 and 1440, plus 1px either side of each project breakpoint. A width reasoned from the media queries is a finding. Run it after any layout change and whenever the user names a phone or a width.

Opening the result belongs to verify. Alignment inside one render belongs to alignment. Safe areas, hit areas and dynamic viewport units belong to defaults, and a failure there cites its id.

1. Read the breakpoints

Read the breakpoints from the CSS, the Tailwind config or the tokens. Add 1px below and 1px above each one to the fixed widths. A sweep that skips the edges of a breakpoint is viewports-cross-each-breakpoint.

2. Render each width

Set the viewport through device emulation at each width. Use 320×568, 375×812, 768×1024, 1024×768 and 1440×900. Breakpoint edges render 800px tall. Emulate touch at every width under 1024. Take a full-page screenshot of each. A layout judged from the code is viewports-render-every-width.

3. Measure each render

Run overflow.js through the browser's evaluate call at each width. Treat each result as a candidate until a crop of that width shows it.

The page never scrolls sideways, though a box may scroll inside itself. A 40px sideways scroll at 320 is viewports-no-sideways-scroll.

Text is never cut by its box without an ellipsis or a clamp. A button label cut in half at 375 is viewports-no-clipped-text. A target under 24px cites defaults-hit-area.

4. Tap at touch widths

Tap through the page with touch emulated. Row actions, copy buttons and menus that appear on hover need another way to appear. A delete button that shows only on row hover is viewports-no-hover-only-controls.

5. Shorten the height

Render 812×375, a phone held sideways. Open each dialog, sheet and menu at that size. Content scrolls inside the overlay and its actions stay reachable. A dialog whose Save sits below the screen with no scroll is viewports-short-heights.

6. Double the text

At 1024 wide, set the root font size to 200% and render again. Text wraps and its boxes grow, with nothing overlapping. Labels overlapping their icons at 200% is viewports-text-zoom. A layout that cannot grow because sizes are set in px gets the same id.

7. Report by width

Return one screenshot per width with the overlay numbers, then the findings in the same order. A finding with no width named is viewports-name-the-width.

The pair

Every check is a pair. The broken line sits beside the line that replaces it.

Reporting

Severity. HIGH is sideways page scroll, a control that hover alone reveals on touch or an action unreachable at a short height. MEDIUM is clipped text, overlap at 200% text or a break at a breakpoint edge. LOW is a finding that does not name its width.

Format. One finding per root cause, naming the width:

1. file:line - [rule-id] at 375, what is wrong (measured values)

Cite the script's element when the source line is not found. Then a Rule | Count | Severity summary. Block when any HIGH remains, Approve otherwise. Mark any width you could not render as Not verified.
