+ ## 0.61.0 — 2026-10-15
12
+
13
+ A host's own button, which 0.60.0 turned down. The reason it was turned down
14
+ still holds for one button, and only that one is kept back. Nothing changes for
15
+ a host that passes nothing: every story screenshotted against 0.60.0 in both
16
+ themes, 138 stories, identical but for the one that sets its own
17
+ `--ick-btn-radius` — its composer is concentric now, which is the point — and,
18
+ on a touch screen, the composer's "+" and microphone, below.
19
+
20
+ ### Added
21
+
22
+ - **`components={{ Button }}` on `ChatExperience`**, and `ComponentsProvider`
23
+ for pieces assembled by hand, in the way of `LabelsProvider`. The host's
24
+ button is drawn for every role in theming.md's table but one: the
25
+ composer's send / stop / save, whose glyph morphs between the three inside
26
+ the button. That one stays the kit's and is themed by the tokens, as before.
27
+ - The kit keeps the layout and the behaviour, the host's button paints. It
28
+ is drawn inside a box the kit sizes from `--ick-control-*` (square when
29
+ it is only an icon), places, animates, and gives the 44px touch area —
30
+ the ring past the button's edge is the box's, and a press there is handed
31
+ to the button. The box sets the button's height over the host's own.
32
+ - `KitButtonProps` is the contract: `kitRole`, `variant`, `size`, `shape`
33
+ (`square`, `pill`, `default`), `icon`, `iconRight`, `children`,
34
+ `disabled`, `loading`, `pressed`, `type="button"`, the handlers, the
35
+ `aria-*` and `data-ick-*` attributes, and the ref. `kitRole` rather than
36
+ `role`, because a button that spread a `role` of `"send"` onto itself
37
+ would be an ARIA error — the ARIA `role` still arrives where there is one,
38
+ `menuitem` in the header's menu.
39
+ - The header's menu items go through it too. Its back control and an
40
+ action with an `href` are links and stay `<a>`.
41
+ - In development, a host's button that does not forward its ref, is not a
42
+ `<button>`, drops the `aria-*` or `data-ick-*` it was given, or looks no
43
+ different with keyboard focus is named in the console, once per role.
44
+ `process.env.NODE_ENV === "production"` returns before any of it.
45
+ - **`--ick-composer-control`**: the composer's send glyph, "+" and
46
+ microphone, which were 28px written into the component — four widths
47
+ Motion springs open, and an overlay offset by 36 and 44 — are
48
+ `--ick-control-s` now, and a host can move them on their own.
49
+ - **The composer's corner is concentric with its buttons**: `--ick-input-radius`
50
+ is `--ick-btn-radius` plus the surface's 8px padding, up to
51
+ `--ick-radius-xl`. A pill button leaves it at the 24 it was; a host's 6px
52
+ button gets a 14px composer instead of a 6px button in a 24px pill.
53
+ - **`BringYourOwnButton` stories** — the chat and the hand-assembled pieces
54
+ with a shadcn-style button (a 6px corner, 36px tall, its own focus ring),
55
+ and the same pieces with nothing provided — and "Bring your own button" in
56
+ theming.md: tokens, then per-role CSS, then the component.
57
+
58
+ ### Fixed
59
+
60
+ - **On a touch screen the "+" and the microphone are round.** Their boxes
61
+ were 28 written in and their buttons as wide as `size="s"`, which the touch
62
+ block raises to 32: a 32 × 28 oval beside a 32 × 32 send, overflowing its
63
+ slot by 4px. All three are 32 × 32 there now, in 32px slots. On a pointer
64
+ nothing moves.
65
+
66
+ ## 0.60.0 — 2026-10-15
67
+
68
+ Reported from a host running the kit in production, each one worked around
69
+ outside the kit there. Each was reproduced here before it was changed.
70
+
71
+ ### Fixed
72
+
73
+ - **The header's "…" menu closes when "…" is pressed again.** The press
74
+ moved focus from the menu to the button, the menu closed on that blur, and
75
+ the click toggled it straight back open. Measured in Chromium and WebKit, by
76
+ mouse and by touch: it could not be closed that way at all.
77
+ - **And on a press anywhere outside it.** It closed only on a blur, and on iOS
78
+ a tap on something that takes no focus moves none — so the menu stayed open
79
+ over whatever was touched next.
80
+ - **`ChatExperience` fits its container on a page with no `box-sizing`
81
+ reset.** It was `width: 100%` plus 64px of padding, so in a 400px side
82
+ panel the end of every sent message sat under the panel's edge. A host
83
+ with a reset saw nothing change; one without now gets the column the
84
+ playground was designed with — 720px overall, not 784.
85
+ - **A short message is no longer faded, with "Read more" on it, because of
86
+ the width it had for one frame.** Whether a sent message is long was
87
+ measured once, a frame after the answer settled. In a host's side panel
88
+ still opening under an instant answer, that frame had the bubble 27px wide:
89
+ a one-line message measured 269px tall and stayed faded at 201×25. It is
90
+ measured again whenever it reflows, and the fade and the button go when it
91
+ is no longer long. A resting message mounted from history is measured too,
92
+ so it is clamped the same way a freshly sent one is.
93
+ - **An empty composer is never two lines.** Mounted a few pixels wide in the
94
+ same panel, the fresh composer decided it needed a second line, and the way
95
+ back compared against that width, so it never returned: 68px tall, its "+"
96
+ on a line of its own, for the rest of the session.
97
+ - **A docked composer no longer jumps on a send.** The fresh composer arrived
98
+ like any new turn — rising 16px into place — so the box at the bottom went
99
+ up and back every time a message was sent (840 → 824 → 840). It fades in
100
+ where it is now. A sent message still goes to the top, as before.
101
+ - **Docked, the question lands before its answer starts.** The answer's "…"
102
+ appeared at the top the moment a message was sent, while the message was
103
+ still travelling up from the composer — two things moving in opposite
104
+ directions, an answer begun above a question that had not arrived. The
105
+ answer now waits, still taking its room so the anchor does not move, until
106
+ the bubble has stopped: about 0.45s, measured at 1120×700 and 390×844, and
107
+ for a model that is silent first. Read off the screen rather than from the
108
+ spring, which rests at 1.2s, and including the scroll that carries a second
109
+ message most of its way. `ChatTurnRow` takes it as `answerAfterTravel`;
110
+ `ChatInput` reports it through `onLanded`.
111
+
112
+ ### Added
113
+
114
+ - **`ChatTurnRow` takes `entrance`** — `"rise"` or `"fade"`.
115
+ - **A host's own buttons.** A host matched the kit's buttons by hashed class
116
+ name (`[class*='ick-primary-']`), by position (the button in the
117
+ composer's surface is the send) and by `aria-label` (the stop is the one
118
+ labelled "Zaustavi"), so translating a label changed its colour.
119
+ - Every variant is painted from `--ick-btn-<variant>-*` tokens, with
120
+ `--ick-btn-radius` and `--ick-btn-weight`. The defaults are the values
121
+ the variants had: compared in both themes, at rest and on hover, 60
122
+ samples, no difference.
123
+ - Every button the kit draws says what it is for in `data-ick-role` and
124
+ what it is in `data-ick-variant`. `send`, `stop` and `save` are three
125
+ roles, not one button with three labels. A test fails on a `<Button>`
126
+ drawn without a role.
127
+ - `ChatHeaderAction` takes `variant`, so one action can be the host's
128
+ primary.
129
+ - `HostButtons` story; the tokens and the roles are listed in
130
+ `theming.md`.
131
+
132
+ Not a `components={{ Button }}` slot, though that was asked for: the kit's
133
+ buttons carry the composer's morphing glyph and its layout animation, and
134
+ a host component would have to take all of it on to stand in for one.
135
+ - **`OpensWithTheMessage` story**, and `npm run panel-check` in the gate: a
136
+ card's button opens a side panel and sends from it, the answer is ready at
137
+ once. Four failures against 0.59.2, none now — and a long message is
138
+ checked to still be clamped.
