The component built and typechecked in the previous commit, but only because
nothing had rendered it. Everything Element Call needs that `src/main.tsx`
side-loads was missing from it.
Its stylesheet: only main.tsx imported index.css, so the library build emitted
CSS-module styles with every `--cpd-*` and `--font-size-*` unresolved. Split
into base.css, which both the app and the component import, and the rules that
are about owning a page, which only the app does. The split is a straight move
— comment-stripped and sorted, the old file and the two new ones differ by
exactly one line — and that line is the deliberate part: `.no-scroll-body`
becomes `body.no-scroll-body`. Element Call adds that class to whatever it
treats as its root, and since the root can now be a container, `position:
fixed` would have taken that container out of the host's layout. Pinning the
page is what it always meant.
Its translations: `initializeElementCall` called `i18n.init` with neither
resources nor a backend, so every key would have rendered as itself. English is
bundled in. The app fetches locale files from URLs its own build emits, which a
host serving the library from somewhere else could not resolve, so how a host
picks a language is left open.
And the types a host needs: `HostBridge` alone is not enough to implement
`HostBridge` — `HostRequest`, `DeviceMuteState`, `DeviceMuteRequest` and
`JoinCallData` all appear in its signatures, and `ConfigOptions` in
`initializeElementCall`'s.
Six selectors named `body` directly — the gradient backdrop and the
platform font overrides in index.css, and the iOS adjustments in
AppBar.module.css and Modal.module.css — so they only applied when Element
Call owned the page. A host mounting it into a container would have got an
interface decorated correctly and styled incorrectly, with nothing to show
that anything was wrong.
Mark the root element with data-element-call-root and match on that
instead. Scoping this way keeps the selectors more specific than they were,
rather than less: widening them to a bare [data-platform=…] would have
dropped specificity from (0,1,1) to (0,1,0) and changed which rules win.
The platform attribute moves with them, from the initializer's write onto
document.body to a layout effect on the root, alongside the theme — so it
still lands before anything is painted.
No visual change while Element Call owns the page: the root is the body,
which now carries the attribute, so every rewritten selector matches the
element it always did.
It turns out that for a blurry gradient background, low-res raster images look very convincing when scaled up and interpolated. That means that we can rasterize our gradient SVGs for improved paint performance when resizing the window, while still keeping them quite lightweight (just a couple of kilobytes each).
By adding viewport-fit=cover to the <meta name="viewport"> header, the page now requests to be displayed edge-to-edge across the entire screen. This gives us control over what we display around camera cut-outs and system navigation UI, if the user agent supports it. I then adjusted the styles of various UI elements to ensure that they still lie within the screen's safe area.
* Add a global control for toggling earpiece mode
This will be used by Element X to show an earpiece toggle button in the header.
* Add an earpiece overlay
* Fix header
The header needs to be passed forward as a string to some components and as a bool (hideHeader) to others.
Also use a enum instead of string options.
* fix top clipping with header
* hide app bar in pip
* revert android overlay app_bar
* Modernize AppBarContext
* Style header icon color as desired and switch earpice/speaker icon
* fix initial selection when using controlled media
* Add "Back to video" button
* fix tests
* remove dead code
* add snapshot test
* fix back to video button
* Request capability to learn the room name
We now need the room name in order to implement the mobile (widget-based) designs with the app bar.
* Test the CallViewModel output switcher directly

* Fix issues detected by Knip
Including cleaning up some unused code and dependencies, using a React hook that we unintentionally stopped using, and also adding some previously undeclared dependencies.
* Replace remaining React ARIA components with Compound components

They aren't yet used anywhere, but this will let us move on to implementing specific modal interactions from the new designs.
I made the design decision of making this new Modal component always be controlled by an explicit open state, which was inspired by some work I did with Jetpack Compose recently, where I saw that this makes state management and the behavior of components so much more obvious.
Here, I've begun updating the styles of video tiles to match the new designs. Not yet updated: the local volume option is supposed to go inside an overflow menu now, but I haven't gotten to that yet.
To make the outlines on hovered / speaking tiles show up properly, I have to remove the usePageFocusStyle hack, which was preventing CSS outlines from being used for anything other than focus rings. I honestly can't tell what problem it was solving in the first place: focus rings still appear to behave as expected throughout the application.
As a first step towards adopting the Compound design system and the new Element Call designs, this pulls in Compound's color tokens and applies them to all existing components. I've tried to choose tokens based on the semantics of where they're used, but in some cases, where the new and old design systems differ in semantics, it was necessary to choose tokens based on their resulting color. These hacks can be removed as we implement more of the new designs.
There were a set of environment variables that we used for custom themes, but Compound has way too many design tokens for that approach to still be a good idea, so I decided to replace them all with a single environment variable that just lets you write arbitrary custom CSS.
