+# Mobile audit — auth and public surfaces
+
+## Summary
+
+Reviewed 11 components across the auth (`/auth/login`, `/auth/register`),
+public (`/privacy`, `/about`, onboarding `[step]`), and error
+(`error.tsx`, `global-error.tsx`, `error-details.tsx`) surfaces, plus
+shared chrome (`AuthShell`, `OnboardingShell`, shadcn `Input` /
+`Button`).
+
+Headline finding: `/about` was added to `proxy.ts` PUBLIC_PATHS in B3
+but not to `AuthShell.tsx` PUBLIC_PATHS, so an unauthenticated visitor
+is bounced to `/auth/login` before the GeoLite2 CC BY-SA 4.0
+attribution can render — a licence-compliance regression on an
+otherwise-public route. Register page also missed the WCAG 2.5.5 tap-
+target lift the login page received; the entire form submits through
+a 36 px button. Long-form public pages have no TOC, no breakout on
+hostnames / code identifiers, and no safe-area insets on their sticky
+header — concrete iOS-PWA pain coming in v1.5.
+
+17 findings total: 2 Critical, 5 High, 7 Medium, 3 Low.
+
+## Findings
+
+### F1 — `/about` bounces unauthenticated visitors to sign-in
+- Severity: Critical
+- Axis: logic
+- File: `src/components/layout/auth-shell.tsx:14`
+- Symptom: B3 made `/about` a public path in `src/proxy.ts:35` so the
+  bundled GeoLite2 CC BY-SA 4.0 attribution is reachable without an
+  account. The client-side `AuthShell` PUBLIC_PATHS still reads
+  `["/auth/login", "/auth/register", "/privacy"]`. An unauthenticated
+  visitor hitting `/about` clears the proxy, hydrates `AuthShell`,
+  fails the `isPublicPage` check, and is redirected to `/auth/login`.
+  The CC BY-SA 4.0 attribution requirement is silently broken.
+- Evidence: `src/proxy.ts:32-35` vs `src/components/layout/auth-shell.tsx:14`.
+- Recommended fix: Add `"/about"` to the `PUBLIC_PATHS` constant; also
+  add it to `isStandalonePublicPage` (line 28) so the page renders
+  edge-to-edge with its own header/footer instead of inside the
+  centered login-card wrapper.
+- Effort: S
+
+### F2 — Register page CTAs sit below the 44 px tap-target floor
+- Severity: Critical
+- Axis: visual
+- File: `src/app/auth/register/page.tsx:132`
+- Symptom: Login page (`src/app/auth/login/page.tsx:136-205`) bumps every
+  CTA to `size="lg"` + `min-h-11` after WCAG 2.5.5 work landed. Register
+  page shipped the same release, but its primary submit button kept the
+  default `h-9` (36 px). Three other auth surfaces follow this pattern
+  in lockstep; register is the asymmetric outlier.
+- Evidence: Grep `min-h-11` shows zero matches in `register/page.tsx`.
+- Recommended fix: Mirror login — `size="lg" className="min-h-11 w-full"`
+  on the submit `<Button>`.
+- Effort: S
+
+### F3 — No `/not-found.tsx` shipped at the app root
+- Severity: High
+- Axis: code
+- File: `src/app/` (absent)
+- Symptom: Next.js falls back to its built-in 404 page when a route is
+  not matched. The built-in page is English-only, has no HealthLog
+  branding, no `Logo`, no "Back to dashboard" link, and no mobile
+  safe-area treatment. A user who follows a stale link from email /
+  Telegram / browser history lands on a generic page that looks
+  unrelated to the product.
+- Evidence: `find src -name "not-found*"` returns nothing under
+  `src/app/`. `error.tsx` and `global-error.tsx` only handle runtime
+  exceptions, not 404s.
+- Recommended fix: Add `src/app/not-found.tsx` with the same chrome
+  shape used by `ErrorDetails` — `Logo`, translated headline, "Back to
+  dashboard" CTA at `min-h-11`, optional report link if
+  `bugReportEnabled`.
+- Effort: M
+
+### F4 — `global-error.tsx` ships hardcoded inline styles with no mobile padding
+- Severity: High
+- Axis: code
+- File: `src/app/global-error.tsx:36-104`
+- Symptom: The root-level boundary uses literal hex colours and pixel
+  values via `style={{ … }}` because it cannot rely on providers. The
+  `<body>` carries `padding: 24px` and the content `maxWidth: 560` —
+  on a 320 px viewport that maxWidth never bites, but on a 320 px
+  viewport with the iOS notch (no `padding-top: env(safe-area-inset-
+  top)`) the headline crowds against the status bar. The retry +
+  copy buttons are 8/14 padding (~32 px tall) — below the 44 px floor.
+- Evidence: `src/app/global-error.tsx:48,76,89` — no env(safe-area-*),
+  buttons `padding: "8px 14px"`.
+- Recommended fix: Switch to a `min-height: 100dvh` + `padding-top:
+  max(24px, env(safe-area-inset-top))` pattern; bump button padding
+  to `12px 18px` so the tappable rect clears 44 px.
+- Effort: S
+
+### F5 — Sticky header on `/privacy` and `/about` ignores safe-area insets
+- Severity: High
+- Axis: visual
+- File: `src/app/privacy/page.tsx:110`, `src/app/about/page.tsx:59`
+- Symptom: Both pages use `sticky top-0 z-10` for the "HealthLog /
+  Sign in" header. The root layout sets `viewportFit: "cover"`, so on
+  iOS PWA standalone (v1.5 ships this) the page paints under the
+  status-bar notch and the header text overlaps the notch. The proxy
+  + AuthShell carve-out (`isStandalonePublicPage`) lets the privacy
+  page render edge-to-edge, which makes this the page's responsibility,
+  and it currently does nothing.
+- Evidence: Grep `safe-area` across `src/app/auth/`, `src/app/privacy/`,
+  `src/app/about/` returns zero hits.
+- Recommended fix: `sticky top-0 pt-[env(safe-area-inset-top)]` on the
+  outer `<header>` of both pages; same on `<main>` left/right via
+  `pl-[max(1rem,env(safe-area-inset-left))]` if landscape-on-notched
+  is a real use case.
+- Effort: S
+
+### F6 — Long-form `/privacy` ships no table of contents on mobile
+- Severity: High
+- Axis: logic
+- File: `src/app/privacy/page.tsx:104-829`
+- Symptom: 11 sections, ~3000 words, every `Section` carries an `id`
+  with `scroll-mt-20` already wired, but nothing in the document
+  consumes those anchors. App Store reviewers and GDPR-curious users
+  scroll-fish to find "section 6 / rights" or "section 4 /
+  sub-processors" with no affordance. The `scroll-mt-20` scaffolding
+  was added in anticipation of a TOC that never landed.
+- Evidence: Grep "Table of\|TOC\|table-of-contents" in
+  `src/app/privacy/page.tsx` returns zero hits; sections 1-11 each
+  carry distinct `id` attrs.
+- Recommended fix: Add a collapsible TOC `<details>` block right under
+  the H1 (default-closed on mobile, default-open on `md:`). Each anchor
+  is `<a href="#${id}">`. Cheap, semantic, no JS.
+- Effort: M
+
+### F7 — Inputs miss `inputMode` and `enterKeyHint` across both auth forms
+- Severity: High
+- Axis: code
+- File: `src/app/auth/login/page.tsx:172-192`, `src/app/auth/register/page.tsx:78-117`
+- Symptom: Login email field is `type="text"` with no `inputMode="email"`;
+  password fields carry no `enterKeyHint`. On iOS / Android Chrome the
+  on-screen keyboard does not surface the `@` key on the email field
+  and the Return key reads "return" instead of "go" / "next". Tiny
+  per-keystroke friction on the most-tapped flow in the app.
+- Evidence: Grep `inputMode\|enterKeyHint` across both auth pages
+  returns zero hits.
+- Recommended fix: Login email — `inputMode="email"` (still
+  `type="text"` because the field accepts username too),
+  `enterKeyHint="next"`. Login password — `enterKeyHint="go"`. Register
+  email — already `type="email"`, add `inputMode="email"` +
+  `enterKeyHint="next"`. Username — `enterKeyHint="next"`. Password —
+  `enterKeyHint="go"`.
+- Effort: S
+
+### F8 — Password fields have no show / hide toggle
+- Severity: Medium
+- Axis: logic
+- File: `src/app/auth/login/page.tsx:183-192`, `src/app/auth/register/page.tsx:106-117`
+- Symptom: Both forms expose only `type="password"`. On mobile, where
+  the user is typing one-handed on a glass surface, the inability to
+  reveal the password to verify it matches what they meant to type is
+  a measured drop-off point in every public login-funnel study. The
+  competitor surfaces (Withings, Oura, MyFitnessPal) all carry the
+  eye-icon affordance.
+- Evidence: Login + register both render `<Input type="password" …>`
+  with no sibling toggle button.
+- Recommended fix: Wrap each password input in a `<div className="relative">`
+  with an absolutely-positioned `<button type="button">` that swaps
+  `type="password"` ↔ `type="text"`. `min-h-11 min-w-11` for the tap
+  target; `aria-pressed` on the toggle; `aria-label` translated
+  through `t("auth.passwordToggle.show" / "auth.passwordToggle.hide")`.
+- Effort: M
+
+### F9 — Form-level error has no `aria-invalid` link back to the field
+- Severity: Medium
+- Axis: code
+- File: `src/app/auth/login/page.tsx:217-224`, `src/app/auth/register/page.tsx:123-130`
+- Symptom: Both forms collapse every API error into a single
+  `role="alert"` block at the bottom of the card. The inputs that
+  caused the error carry no `aria-invalid="true"` and no
+  `aria-describedby` pointing at the alert. A screen-reader user has
+  to dig for the message and cannot tell which field is wrong.
+  Doubly painful on mobile where the alert pin sits under the
+  on-screen keyboard.
+- Evidence: Grep `aria-invalid\|aria-describedby` across both pages
+  returns zero hits.
+- Recommended fix: Carry the API error shape as `{ field?: 'email' |
+  'password', message }` (Zod issues already produce this on the
+  server); spread `aria-invalid="true" aria-describedby={errorId}` on
+  the matching `<Input>`; render the alert above the submit button
+  with a stable `id`.
+- Effort: M
+
+### F10 — "Back to passkey" button is a raw `<button>` with no tap target
+- Severity: Medium
+- Axis: visual
+- File: `src/app/auth/login/page.tsx:207-213`
+- Symptom: The reverse-mode toggle is a raw `<button>` styled
+  `text-xs` with `text-muted-foreground`. No `min-h-11`, no padding —
+  the tap rect is ~16 px tall. Same accessibility floor as F2 missed
+  it.
+- Evidence: `src/app/auth/login/page.tsx:207-213`.
+- Recommended fix: Switch to `<Button variant="link" size="sm">` or
+  wrap the existing `<button>` in `min-h-11 inline-flex items-center
+  justify-center px-2`.
+- Effort: S
+
+### F11 — Login card uses `p-8` at every breakpoint (no mobile reduction)
+- Severity: Medium
+- Axis: visual
+- File: `src/app/auth/login/page.tsx:121`, `src/app/auth/register/page.tsx:62`
+- Symptom: Card padding is `p-8` (32 px on every side) regardless of
+  viewport. Login card is `max-w-sm` (384 px) wrapped in
+  `AuthShell` main `px-4`. At 320 px: outer 16 + 16 = 32, card 32 + 32
+  = 64 → 224 px content width. Inputs are full-width but cramped.
+  Mobile-first cadence calls for `p-6 sm:p-8`.
+- Evidence: Both pages literal `p-8`, no `sm:` step.
+- Recommended fix: `p-6 sm:p-8` on both card wrappers.
+- Effort: S
+
+### F12 — `/privacy` HealthKit identifier list overflows at 320 px
+- Severity: Medium
+- Axis: visual
+- File: `src/app/privacy/page.tsx:286-344`
+- Symptom: HKQuantityTypeIdentifier list renders as `grid grid-cols-1
+  sm:grid-cols-2`. At 320 px, a single column with
+  `heartRateVariabilitySDNN` / `environmentalAudioExposure` / 
+  `distanceWalkingRunning` at `text-xs` still fits, but the `<code>`
+  tag carries no `break-all` / `overflow-wrap`. If a future identifier
+  exceeds 28 chars it will horizontal-scroll the entire page. Same
+  story for `healthlog.bombeck.io` and `io.bombeck.healthlog`
+  inline-code spans further up.
+- Evidence: Grep `<code` in the file shows 20+ usages, none with
+  `break-all` or `overflow-wrap`.
+- Recommended fix: Add `break-all` to the `<code>` className on the
+  HK lists; keep prose-context code untouched (those are short
+  enough). Cheaper alternative: extract a shared `<KbdCode>` /
+  `<InlineCode>` component with the right defaults.
+- Effort: S
+
+### F13 — Privacy / about page `<header>` "Sign in" link sub-44-px
+- Severity: Medium
+- Axis: visual
+- File: `src/app/privacy/page.tsx:118-123`, `src/app/about/page.tsx:67-72`
+- Symptom: Both pages put two `<Link>` elements ("HealthLog" home,
+  "Sign in") in the sticky header at `text-sm` with `py-3`
+  inherited from the wrapper. The hit-rect is roughly 36 px tall —
+  below the 44 px floor that the rest of the app holds for nav
+  links.
+- Evidence: Header div has `py-3` (12 px top + bottom = 24 px) plus
+  `text-sm` line-height (~20 px) = 44 px-ish, but the link itself
+  carries no padding so the actual `<a>` rect is closer to 20 px.
+- Recommended fix: Wrap both links in `inline-flex items-center
+  h-11 px-2 -mx-2` (negative margin neutralises the visual shift).
+  Or use shadcn `<Button variant="ghost" size="sm">` with
+  `asChild`.
+- Effort: S
+
+### F14 — `ErrorDetails` action row uses `size="sm"` (32 px) buttons
+- Severity: Medium
+- Axis: visual
+- File: `src/components/error-details.tsx:85-108`
+- Symptom: Retry / Copy / Report buttons are all `size="sm"` which
+  maps to `h-8` (32 px). On mobile, the error page is exactly the
+  place where the user is already mildly stressed and the buttons
+  should be _easier_ to tap, not harder.
+- Evidence: `src/components/ui/button.tsx:26` defines `sm: "h-8 …"`.
+- Recommended fix: Drop `size="sm"`; let buttons fall to the default
+  `h-9` (36 px) or bump to `size="lg"` (40 px). Wrap row in
+  `flex-wrap gap-2` (already there) so they stack on 320 px.
+- Effort: S
+
+### F15 — `error-details.tsx` and `global-error.tsx` carry no safe-area / dvh
+- Severity: Medium
+- Axis: visual
+- File: `src/components/error-details.tsx:76`, `src/app/global-error.tsx:42`
+- Symptom: `ErrorDetails` outer wrapper is `max-w-xl space-y-4 p-6` —
+  no `min-h-dvh`, no centring. When the boundary fires from a route
+  that previously rendered a sidebar, the error layout floats in the
+  upper-left of the viewport with nav chrome still in place. On
+  mobile the user sees an awkward gap. `global-error.tsx` does centre
+  but with `minHeight: "100vh"` (pre-dvh) — leaves a notch-sized
+  gap on iOS.
+- Evidence: Grep `min-h-dvh\|min-height: 100dvh` in both files
+  returns zero hits.
+- Recommended fix: `ErrorDetails` outer → `min-h-dvh flex flex-col
+  items-center justify-center`. `global-error.tsx` body → `minHeight:
+  "100dvh"`.
+- Effort: S
+
+### F16 — Onboarding step pages keep arrow-pager buttons on 320 px viewports
+- Severity: Low
+- Axis: visual
+- File: `src/components/onboarding/WelcomeCarousel.tsx:223-281`
+- Symptom: The carousel renders prev arrow + tablist + next arrow on
+  one row, gap-3. At 320 px with size-11 buttons (44 px), three slides
+  in the tablist as size-11 buttons each, plus two arrows: 5 × 44 +
+  4 × 12 = 268 px. Plus the row uses `justify-center`, so the row
+  fits, but adding a 4th slide or a 5th locale-glyph in the slide
+  copy will overflow. Defensive only.
+- Evidence: Manual count of children.
+- Recommended fix: Wrap the row in `flex-wrap` or drop the chevron
+  arrows on mobile (the dot pager + scroll-snap already handles
+  swipe).
+- Effort: S
+
+### F17 — `BaselineForm` Skip + Save row drops below the keyboard on small viewports
+- Severity: Low
+- Axis: logic
+- File: `src/components/onboarding/BaselineForm.tsx:223-247`
+- Symptom: The CTA row is rendered inline after the form fields, no
+  sticky-bottom pattern. When the user taps the height / date-of-
+  birth field at the bottom of the form, iOS scrolls the input above
+  the keyboard but the Save CTA below the input is now off-screen.
+  The user has to dismiss the keyboard, scroll, then tap Save. A
+  sticky-bottom CTA on `sm:` and below would close the loop.
+- Evidence: No `sticky bottom-0` or `fixed` on the action row.
+- Recommended fix: Wrap the action row in `sticky bottom-0
+  bg-background pt-3 -mx-4 px-4 sm:static sm:bg-transparent` so it
+  pins on mobile, releases on tablet+.
+- Effort: M
+
+## Headline metrics
+- Components reviewed: 11 (login page, register page, privacy page,
+  about page, error.tsx, global-error.tsx, error-details.tsx,
+  AuthShell, OnboardingShell, BaselineForm, WelcomeCarousel; plus
+  shared `Input`, `Button`, `MaintainershipBanner` as references).
+- Findings by tier: C: 2  H: 5  M: 7  L: 3 (17 total).
+- Mobile-hostile patterns flagged for B7-style symmetry pass: 3
+  (asymmetric tap-target lift between login and register; missing
+  safe-area on every edge-to-edge public page; mixed dvh / vh usage
+  across error boundaries).
+
+## Open questions for the consolidator
+
+1. **TOC scope for `/privacy` (F6).** Should the table of contents
+   ship as a `<details>` HTML primitive (zero JS, fold-up on mobile)
+   or as a fixed-position floating button that opens a `<Sheet>`?
+   The former matches the page's static-server-rendered shape;
+   the latter is one more dependency on Sheet from the public
+   surface.
+
+2. **`not-found.tsx` (F3) — branded vs minimal?** The `ErrorDetails`
+   pattern is heavy (Logo, copy-details payload, bugreport link).
+   For a missing-route 404 a lighter wrapper might be the right
+   call. Consolidator chooses: re-use `ErrorDetails` shape or ship
+   a smaller `not-found.tsx` that mirrors the auth-card geometry.
+
+3. **Show/hide password toggle (F8) — symmetry with profile-settings
+   password change?** If the consolidator wants the same affordance
+   on the in-app password-change form (under `/settings/account`),
+   that's a third site and worth one shared `<PasswordInput>` rather
+   than three local toggles.
+
+4. **`/about` standalone fix (F1) — does it land in this round or
+   wait for v1.4.28?** The licence-compliance angle (CC BY-SA 4.0
+   attribution must be reachable) reads Critical to me but the fix
+   is two lines. Consolidator confirms.
