OVERVIEW_ROOTS = 3 does not fit the slot it is named for. Three healthy roots put the widget at 212px in a 205px slot, and .od-card > .body is overflow: hidden (core/packages/shell/src/pages/HomePage.svelte:56,69, grid-auto-rows: 276px), so the read/write · N more roots footer is cut by 7.39px with no cue that anything is missing.

Pre-existing, not from #4 — origin/main's widget measures the same 212 / 205 / −7.39. Found while measuring a different question on that PR.

Measured

Rendered headless on the real dashboard via the @astral/astral recipe in core/CLAUDE.md:376, against a running server with OPSDECK_FAKE_DATA=1 and six roots configured. Identical figures at a 376px card (1440 viewport) and a 360px card (380 viewport):

rows	row heights	widget content	slot	over
3 readable	55.91 × 3	212px	205px	−7.39px
1 readable + 2 unreadable	55.91 / 38.52 / 38.52	205px	205px	fits exactly

A readable row is 55.91px (bar 17.39 + one .meta line 16.67 + 3px margin). An unreadable row is 38.52px, because it has no bar. So the layout only fits today when at least one root is unreadable — the healthy case is the one that overflows.

Why it matters

Two invariants in the tree currently say this does not happen:

HomePage.svelte — "widgets must fit the slot — never show a scrollbar"
OVERVIEW_ROOTS's own doc comment in backend/fsops.ts:487-490, which names the slot as the reason for the number

The clip is silent, and the thing it eats is the footer that says how many roots are hidden — so the card understates its own incompleteness exactly when it is full.

Options

OVERVIEW_ROOTS = 2 — fits with headroom, costs a row.
Shrink the readable row: drop the bar's margin, or put usage on the same line as the name.
Raise the slot: grid-auto-rows in HomePage.svelte, which affects every widget, not just this one.

Whichever way it goes, a rendering test that measures content against slot height would keep it from drifting back — that is the check OVERVIEW_ROOTS's comment currently asks a reader to perform by hand.

Also noticed

OverviewWidget.svelte:141's CSS comment says "the slot is 260px wide". It measures 322px at a 360px card, and .why never ellipsises at either width (clientWidth 322 == scrollWidth 322). Stale comment, no behaviour attached.

`OVERVIEW_ROOTS = 3` does not fit the slot it is named for. Three healthy roots put the widget at **212px** in a **205px** slot, and `.od-card > .body` is `overflow: hidden` (`core/packages/shell/src/pages/HomePage.svelte:56,69`, `grid-auto-rows: 276px`), so the `read/write · N more roots` footer is cut by **7.39px** with no cue that anything is missing.
