## Panel Element IDs

| Element | Selector | Role |
|---------|----------|------|
| Panel container | `#review-artifact` | `.chat-review` with `.open` / `.show-editor` classes |
| Source textarea | `#artifact-source` | Code editor content |
| Live preview iframe | `#artifact-preview` | Renders `srcdoc` from source |
| Code toggle button | `#artifact-toggle-code` | Toggles `.show-editor` class |
| Resize handle | `#artifact-resize-handle` | Drag to resize, double-click to toggle 50%/85% |
| Chat main wrapper | `.chat-main` | Receives `.artifact-open` class for layout reflow |

## CSS Custom Property

`--artifact-panel-width` on `.chat-main` (inherited by `#review-artifact`) — clamped 20-85% via JS drag handler.
Default: 50%. Min rendered: 320px (CSS `min-width`).
Used for both panel width AND `.chat-main.artifact-open` padding-right (single variable, two consumers).

### Chat Surface Split-Pane Reflow (BUG FIX — added 2026-05-15)

Root cause: `.chat-main.artifact-open` defined a `transition` for `padding-right`
but never set an actual `padding-right` value. The artifact panel (position: absolute)
overlaid chat content instead of reflowing it. Fix: `padding-right: var(--artifact-panel-width, 50%)`
and moved the CSS variable from `#review-artifact` to `.chat-main` for shared inheritance.

| # | Transition | Input | Expected | Result |
|---|-----------|-------|----------|--------|
| 20 | Chat reflow on pricing Open | Click inline "Open" on pricing-comparison.html | Chat content reflows to left of panel, no text hidden | PASS |
| 21 | Chat reflow on tiering Open | Click inline "Open" on portfolio-tiering.html | Panel swaps content, chat stays reflowed | PASS |
| 22 | "Open" buttons visible during reflow | Panel open at 50% | Both inline "Open" buttons remain clickable | PASS |
| 23 | Chat restores on panel close | Click back arrow or press Escape | Chat content returns to full width, no stale padding | PASS |
| 24 | Resize syncs padding and panel | Drag resize handle or double-click toggle | padding-right matches panel width via shared CSS variable | PASS |
| 25 | Variable inheritance | Set `--artifact-panel-width` on chatMain | Both `#review-artifact` width and chatMain padding-right update | PASS |

## Accessibility Audit

| Element | role | tabindex | Keyboard | aria-label |
|---------|------|----------|----------|------------|
| Report card strips (`[data-artifact-card]`) | button | 0 | Enter/Space -> activateStrip | via title |
| Chat "Open" button | native button | auto | Enter/Space (native) | -- |
| Chat "Preview" button | native button | auto | Enter/Space (native) | -- |
| Inline overlay (pricing) | none | none | mouse-only (redundant with button) | "Open artifact preview" |
| Inline overlay (tiering) | none | none | mouse-only (redundant with button) | "Open portfolio tiering preview" |
| Back button | native button | auto | Enter/Space (native) | "Back to chat" |
| Code toggle | native button | auto | Enter/Space (native) | -- |
| Discard button | native button | auto | Enter/Space (native) | -- |
| Save to report | native button | auto | Enter/Space (native) | -- |
| Resize handle | separator | -- | mouse drag only | -- |
| Escape key | -- | -- | document-level keydown | -- |

Inline overlays are click-through convenience targets on the iframe thumbnails.
They are NOT in tab order (no tabindex). The canonical keyboard path uses the
"Open" / "Preview" buttons below them, which are native button elements with
automatic keyboard support.

## Edge Cases Verified

| Case | Behavior | Status |
|------|----------|--------|
| Panel at min-width 320px (20%) | Both editor and preview render | PASS |
| Panel at max-width 85% | Chat column compresses but remains visible | PASS |
| Double-click handle toggles 50%/85% | Threshold: parseFloat(current) > 70 | PASS |
| Width persists across artifact swaps | CSS custom property not reset by openArtifact() | PASS |
| Editor resets on artifact swap | openArtifact() removes .show-editor, resets button text | PASS |
| Iframe srcdoc updates after 50ms render delay | setTimeout(render, 50) -- intentional debounce | PASS |
| Origin surface null when opened from chat | removeAttribute('data-origin-surface') in chat handlers | PASS |
| Origin surface set when opened from report strip | Captured from shell data-active before switchSurface('chat') | PASS |
| Chat text reflows (not truncated) on panel open | padding-right = panel width via CSS variable inheritance | PASS |
| Resize updates both panel width and chat padding | --artifact-panel-width set on chatMain, inherited by panel | PASS |
| Inline "Open" buttons accessible during split-pane | Buttons remain in visible/clickable area after reflow | PASS |

## QA Prevention: Chat Surface Inline Artifacts

**Missed in original QA (2026-05-15):** Only tested artifact opening from Graph
view peek cards and Report strip cards. Did NOT test the Chat surface's own
inline "Open" buttons for split-pane reflow behavior.

**Prevention rule:** Any change to artifact panel open/close/resize MUST be
tested from ALL three entry points:
1. **Chat inline "Open" buttons** (`[data-artifact-open]`, `[data-artifact-open-tiering]`)
2. **Report strip cards** (`[data-artifact-card]`)
3. **Graph peek card** (`[data-graph-open-artifact]`)

Each entry point has different context: Chat clears origin-surface, Report
strips save origin-surface, Graph switches surface first. All three must
reflow correctly.

## Summary

25/25 tests passed. All state transitions verified programmatically and
visually. No regressions found. Panel handles all combinations of:
- 5 artifact types x open/close/swap
- Editor on/off x width 20%-85%
- Keyboard (Enter/Space/Escape) and mouse
- Cross-surface origin tracking
- **Chat split-pane reflow** (padding-right synced via CSS variable inheritance)

Bug fix documented: `.chat-main.artifact-open` missing `padding-right` value.

Documented 2026-05-15. Companion to ARTIFACT_PREVIEW_DIRECTION.md and HOME_V3_GRAPH_HIERARCHY.md.
