feat(ui): the whole window scales, from the View menu - #224
Conversation
Adds View ▸ Zoom In / Zoom Out / Actual Size (⌘= ⌘- ⌘0), which scale the
entire rendering rather than the text alone. style.css sizes everything in
px on purpose, so there is no root em to turn — and growing only the type
would leave the icons, row heights and gutters behind while the layout came
apart. This is WebKit page zoom (`pageZoom`), the same thing ⌘+ does in
Safari: `100vh` still means the window and no rule has to know it happened.
**Where each piece lives.** `ui/src/zoom.ts` owns the rule — a fixed ladder
of ten sizes from 75% to 200%, walls at the ends, and the defensive read of
a stored value — because a reading size is a viewing choice, kept in
localStorage beside the theme and the pane widths, never touching the vault.
The host is a pass-through: `set_zoom` hands a number to the webview and
holds no opinion about which numbers are allowed, exactly as it holds none
about column widths.
**Why the chords are the menu's and not the registry's.** macOS expects these
three in View with their keys printed beside them, and AppKit dispatches a
menu accelerator before the key window's responder chain — so a chord
spelled in both `menu.rs` and `bindings.ts` is a chord the webview never
receives. `menu.rs` gains its first `Item::Command` rows (everything before
was a `PredefinedMenuItem` restating a chord macOS assigned), `main.rs`
forwards the chosen id, and `zoom.ts` decides what it means. The accelerator
is *derived* from the registry spelling by `muda_accelerator` rather than
written twice: Tauri parses one with `.parse().ok()`, so a drifted second
spelling would be a menu line that silently has no shortcut.
The trade is that ⌘⇧= does not zoom in — Tauri splits an accelerator on `+`,
so `Key::Character("+")` is unreachable and the key equivalent is `=`, which
AppKit matches only without ⇧. Zed's View menu is spelled the same way.
**When a column goes.** Page zoom narrows the layout viewport, so the
breakpoints treat ⌘= as they treat dragging the window narrower: discovery
drops below 1040px, the file tree below 720px. B2 does not refuse the step
over it — the ceiling is the window width divided by the breakpoint, so it
moves on every resize, and a ⌘= that worked yesterday and does nothing today
is the worse surprise. It says so instead. The notice is *measured*, through
`panes.visiblePanes()`, so no breakpoint is copied out of the stylesheet.
Verified in the running app: both chords and both menu clicks, the reset,
and the notice firing as discovery drops.

host call completes before render() begins. Make loadZoomPref() await
api.setZoom(saved), and await loadZoomPref() from boot() while preserving the

Addresses CodeRabbit on #224. `loadZoomPref` started the host call and let `boot` walk on, so a window with a saved size painted one frame at 100% and jumped — the appearance preference's flash-of-the-wrong-thing in a second form — and `initPanes` settled the columns against a `clientWidth` that was about to change under it. (The resize a zoom fires corrects the columns eventually; it can't un-paint the frame.) It is now awaited: one IPC round trip of blank window is the cheaper half of that trade. The same look found a second timing hole the report didn't name. `applyZoom` fired its column-notice measurement in parallel with the round trip, so on a slow trip it measured a window that had not been scaled yet and said nothing about a column that had in fact just gone. Both paths now go through one `pushZoom` — the single place the IPC lives, resolving when the window is actually scaled and never rejecting, since two callers now wait on it and a promise that can reject would make one of them a hang. The notice is sequenced after it: the round trip, then two frames, because WebKit lays out on one and `getComputedStyle` can answer on the next. Boot takes no notice path at all, and now says so rather than relying on it: before the shell exists, "which columns were showing" has no answer, and the honest thing to report about a size chosen in a previous session is nothing.
