Fixes #1860.

Problem

frontend/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json sets "decorations": false + "titleBarStyle": "Overlay" on every platform. On macOS this means the native traffic-light cluster is drawn on top of the web content instead of getting its own row; Windows/Linux draw nothing there (decorations:false just hides all chrome). Header.jsx's left block (status dot + t(view.kickerKey) kicker) had no inset at all for that zone, so on macOS the traffic lights render on top of it.

Fix

macOS-only, following the codebase's existing patterns instead of inventing new ones:

  • Platform detection: reused the exact navigator.platform check already used in HotkeyTab.jsx / SettingsSearch.jsx (/Mac|iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(navigator.platform || '')) rather than adding a new shared utility - this repo's precedent for OS detection is a local inline check, not a shared module.
  • Inset width: .header-area--tabs (the titlebar-tabs navStyle) already reserves a flat 64px from the window edge for the same traffic-light cluster (index.css:964-970, and documented again in TitleTabs.jsx's header comment). Added .header-area__left--mac-inset with padding-left: 48px, which completes .header-area's own existing 16px left padding to that same 64px total - so both header modes agree on the same physical clearance instead of picking a new number.
  • Applied the class conditionally in Header.jsx only when isMacLike is true (the rail/breadcrumb branch that only exists when navStyle !== 'tabs'), so Windows/Linux get zero extra padding - no space is reserved where nothing is overlaid, keeping cross-platform parity.

Did NOT touch .header-area--tabs's own 64px inset, which is currently applied unconditionally on all platforms (a pre-existing, separately-scoped issue, not part of #1860) - flagged separately below rather than bundled in.

Testing

  • frontend/src/test/HeaderMacTrafficLightInset.test.jsx (new) - stubs navigator.platform to MacIntel/Win32/Linux and asserts the inset class only appears on macOS. Verified fail-before/pass-after.
  • cd frontend && bun run test -- src/test/HeaderMacTrafficLightInset.test.jsx src/test/HeaderNavStyle.test.jsx -> 7 passed
  • uv run pytest tests/test_locale_parity.py -q -> 248 passed (no new user-facing strings)

What a reviewer should check

  • The 48px number (64px total minus .header-area's existing 16px left padding) - if .header-area's base padding ever changes independently, this constant would need re-deriving; I left a comment at the CSS rule explaining the math for that reason.
  • Whether .header-area--tabs's own unconditional 64px inset (wasting 64px on Windows/Linux in tabs mode) is worth fixing too - it looks like the same class of bug, but it's a separate code path from what [macOS] Studio header kicker text renders underneath the traffic-light window controls #1860 reported, so I left it alone here.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

On macOS, the breadcrumb header adds a 48px left inset so the status indicator and kicker clear the overlay traffic-light controls. Windows and Linux retain the existing spacing, and tabs mode remains unchanged. Human review should confirm the 48px inset matches the native control area across supported macOS window sizes.

tauri.conf.json sets decorations:false + titleBarStyle:"Overlay" on
every platform, so on macOS the native traffic-light cluster is drawn
on top of the web content instead of getting its own row; Windows and
Linux draw nothing there. The header's left block (status dot +
kicker) had no inset at all for that zone, so on macOS the traffic
lights sat on top of it.

Fix, macOS-only: detect macOS the same way HotkeyTab.jsx /
SettingsSearch.jsx already do (navigator.platform), and apply a new
.header-area__left--mac-inset class that completes header-area's own
16px left padding to the same flat 64px-from-window-edge total that
.header-area--tabs already reserves for the identical cluster. Windows
and Linux get no inset, so no space is wasted where nothing is
overlaid.

Fixes debpalash#1860.

Greptile Summary

Adds a macOS desktop-only left inset so breadcrumb header content clears native overlay traffic lights, with platform and browser-context coverage.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
frontend/src/components/Header.jsx Detects a native macOS webview and conditionally applies the traffic-light inset to the non-tabs header.
frontend/src/index.css Adds the 48px padding needed to complete the existing 64px titlebar clearance.
frontend/src/test/HeaderMacTrafficLightInset.test.jsx Covers native macOS, browser-hosted Apple platforms, Windows, Linux, and the macOS Tauri configuration.
CHANGELOG.md Adds the community-credit fix entry, whose placement remains covered by an unresolved previous review thread.

Full details: Cross-Platform Default Parity

Explanation

The PR introduces platform-divergent default behavior. In Header.jsx:158-159,267-270, the default rail/breadcrumb header adds header-area__left--mac-inset only when navigator.platform identifies macOS; Windows and Linux do not receive it. The store defines navStyle: 'rail' as the out-of-the-box mode (frontend/src/store/uiSlice.ts:146-148), so this is not behind an explicit opt-in.

Resolution

Make the default rail header layout identical on macOS, Windows, and Linux by applying the same inset without the platform condition, or move the macOS-only inset behind an explicit Settings toggle, environment variable, or CLI flag. Update the platform tests to enforce the selected compliant behavior.

Comment thread frontend/src/test/HeaderMacTrafficLightInset.test.jsx
CodeRabbit flagged that setPlatform() redefined navigator.platform as
an own property but nothing ever restored it, so after this file's
tests run the global stays pinned to whichever platform ran last
('Linux x86_64') — order-dependent and able to leak into any later
test in the same environment that reads navigator.platform. Capture
the original descriptor (undefined, since it's an inherited jsdom
getter) and restore it — or delete the own-property override — in
afterEach.
