@lotics/ui 30.1.0 → 32.0.0

package/MIGRATION.md

@@ -4,6 +4,68 @@ Breaking changes, newest first — normally per major, plus the rare minor that
 anyway (recorded under its exact version). The current contract lives in `AGENTS.md` + `docs/`;
 this file exists only to move an app from one release to the next.
 
+## 32.0.0 — `Table`'s `align` prop is gone; rows are centred
+
+`align?: "center" | "top"` and the `TableAlign` type are removed. `center` was the
+default and nothing shipped on `top`, so a caller passing nothing is unaffected.
+
+**Why it went, so nobody rebuilds it.** It was added to close a measured 12px spread
+between the first lines of cells carrying different numbers of lines. That number was
+never compared against a baseline: the kit's own canonical register (`tpl_item_list`)
+ships a **15px** spread, centred, and reads correctly. The case the prop existed for
+is the case the reference example already handles.
+
+It was also wrong as built. `top` moved the CELLS to a shared top edge but left the
+row's ordinal, leading checkbox and trailing menu centred — so on a tall row a row's
+number sat ~24px below the name it belonged to, and the register read as scatter.
+Aligning the chrome too is possible, but that yields a correct prop with no consumers.
+
+**If a register looks misaligned, the cell is too tall for a columnar row.** Centring
+works because register cells are bounded; when they cannot be, the row is meant to
+stack — `computeTableFit` already drops to stacked below the register floor. Reach for
+that, or move the content to a record page. Do not reintroduce a cross-axis knob.
+
+## 31.0.0 — avatar `size` is a rung, not a pixel count
+
+`Avatar`, `MemberChip` and `GroupAvatar` no longer take `size?: number`. They take
+`size?: AvatarSize` — `"sm" | "md" | "lg" | "xl"` = **24 / 36 / 48 / 72** — defaulting to `md`.
+
+Map an EXPLICIT size by the density it was reaching for, not by nearest pixel:
+
+| was | now |
+| --- | --- |
+| ≤ 24 (18, 20, 22, 24) | `"sm"` |
+| 28, 32, 36 | `"md"` |
+| 40, 48 | `"lg"` |
+| 64, 80 | `"xl"` |
+
+**The DEFAULT is now `md` (36) on all three components**, which is a separate move from that
+table and goes in different directions: `Avatar` grows (32 → 36), `MemberChip` grows (28 → 36),
+and **`GroupAvatar` shrinks (40 → 36)**. If a `GroupAvatar` was relying on its default to sit at
+40 beside something else, pass `"lg"`. One default is the point — a member and a group in one
+list had no business being different sizes.
+
+Need an avatar's pixels for a sibling box — a stack's overlap, a dashed placeholder? Import
+`AVATAR_PX` from `@lotics/ui/avatar_size` and index it by the rung, so the two cannot drift.
+
+**Three rendering changes come with it, and none is opt-in.**
+
+Initials are now the first and **last** word of the name rather than the first two: "Vũ Thị
+Lan" renders VL where it rendered VT. A Vietnamese name is họ + đệm + tên, so the first two
+words are the parts a whole office shares — on a real 29-person roster the old rule left 11
+people indistinguishable and this one leaves 5. Two-word names are unaffected ("John Smith" is
+JS either way), and it matches the conventional English rendering ("Mary Jane Watson" → MW).
+`GroupAvatar` follows the same rule now: it showed one letter at every size and its neighbours
+in the same list showed two.
+
+The one-initial cutoff moved from "≤ 32px" to "`sm` only". Anything you map to `md` or above
+now shows two letters where it showed one — which is the point: every call site in the
+register apps sat under the old threshold, so the product only ever rendered a single letter.
+If a surface genuinely wants one letter, that surface is `sm`.
+
+The initials' TYPE SIZE now follows the rung instead of being a fixed `xs`. Most visible on the
+large rungs: an avatar that was 80px wore 12px letters and looked empty; at `xl` it wears 28px.

 your directory and pass `name` / `image`; never hand-roll `Avatar` + `Text`. (`MemberSelect`

+**Size is a RUNG, never a pixel count** — `sm | md | lg | xl` = 24 / 36 / 48 / 72
+(`@lotics/ui/avatar_size`, shared by `Avatar`, `MemberChip` and `GroupAvatar`). Default `md`.
+The number was removed because the same concept had drifted to eleven different values across
+the product and its apps, so one person looked different on every screen. Pick by density:
+`sm` for a dense row or inline cell, `md` for a register or list (the default), `lg` for a
+prominent row or the account menu, `xl` for a profile's own header.
+
+**`sm` shows ONE initial; every larger rung shows two** — two letters are not legible at 24px.
+That is the practical reason not to reach for `sm` by reflex: on a real roster a single letter
+is rarely unique (nine people can share "N"), so a register that must identify someone wants
+`md`. Initials are the first and **last** word of the name — "Vũ Thị Lan" → VL, "Mary Jane
+Watson" → MW — because a Vietnamese name's first two words are the family and middle names
+that a whole office shares.
