Merge pull request 'v0.9.8 — pin tab bar at top while panel content scrolls (#31)' (#33) from pin-tab-bar into master

The TabsList is now position:sticky top:0 with a z-index above the panel
content. In wide mode it pins to the top of the OPERATIONS scroll area
(#21's center-pane scroller); in narrow mode, where the body scrolls and
there is no inner scroll container, it pins to the viewport. The existing
opaque background keeps scrolled content from showing through.

 # Changelog
 
+## v0.9.8 — 2026-09-29 10:20
+- The OPERATIONS tab bar now stays pinned while its content scrolls (#31): the TabsList is `position: sticky; top: 0` with a z-index above the panel content, so it pins to the top of the OPERATIONS scroll area in wide mode (where only the center pane scrolls, #21) and to the viewport when the body scrolls in narrow mode. Its existing opaque background (`--surface-raised`) keeps scrolled content from showing through; no layout restructure needed — #21 behavior is untouched.
+- e2e: new smoke spec — shrink the viewport so WORLD MAP's fixed-height chart overflows the pane, scroll the panel to the bottom (asserting a real offset), and check the tablist's bounding box hasn't moved.
+
+## v0.9.7 — 2026-09-29 09:59
+- LOCAL SYSTEM no longer shows the previous system after a jump (#30): WorldMapPanel owns the world state and applied the `/api/jump` response locally, so MissionControl's lifted `/api/system` state (which drives the LOCAL SYSTEM tab, CARGO HOLD and the SECTOR row) went stale until a page refresh. The panel now takes an `onJumped` callback that MissionControl wires to a `/api/system` refetch after every successful jump — same failure policy as the mount fetch (keep old state on error).
+- e2e: new smoke spec — click-to-jump on WORLD MAP, wait for the chart's turn counter to update, switch to LOCAL SYSTEM and assert its header shows the NEW current system from `/api/world` (no `page.reload()` workaround; one jump per run/retry, same pattern as the existing jump test).
+
+## v0.9.6 — 2026-09-29 09:41
+- The active operations tab now survives a page refresh (#27): the selected tab ID is persisted to `localStorage` (`sw-active-tab`) on every change and restored on mount when it matches one of the seven valid tab IDs (unknown/stale values fall back to WORLD MAP). The Radix Tabs are controlled for this; SSR and first client render still agree on the default, so there is no hydration mismatch.
+- e2e: new smoke spec — click CREW, reload, assert `aria-selected=true` again (fresh context per run/retry, no API state touched, idempotent).
+
+## v0.9.5 — 2026-09-29 09:13
+- Fixed the production freeze reported after the v0.9.3 (#21) deploy ("entire UI system is now fucked"). Root cause was NOT the #21 layout change (verified healthy across all 7 tabs and multiple viewports — no clipping, middle pane scrolls internally, side panes fixed): it was world name generation. `makeName` draws from a finite pool of 16×8=128 system names with an unbounded rejection loop, so once a save grew past ~128 systems (turns of play / e2e jump loops), any jump into an undiscovered system spun forever on Node's single thread — sql.js runs synchronously, so the whole process blocked and EVERY API route hung, leaving all panels stuck at LOADING.
+- `makeName` (lib/game/world.ts) now falls back to numbered variants (`Kepler Drift 2`) once the pool is exhausted, so it always terminates; `makeCrewName` (lib/game/crew.ts) gets the same guard — the roster has no cap and its 16×22=352 pool would eventually exhaust too.
+- Tests: unit — both name generators terminate with unique numbered names after full pool exhaustion (80 tests green, was 78); e2e unchanged — no spec depends on the old behavior and a fresh CI stack never approaches 128 systems.
+
+## v0.9.4 — 2026-09-29 08:29
+- Top bar (#23): the `◄ SHIP` label in the mission control header is replaced with the app version number (e.g. `v0.9.4`). The header reads it from `package.json` via the same `@/package.json` import that `/api/version` and the OpenAPI spec use, so there is a single source of truth — no second hardcoded copy.
+- e2e: no spec changes needed — no spec asserted on the old `◄ SHIP` label (the landing-page test only checks the SpaceWanderer heading). All 15 specs compile unchanged.
+
+## v0.9.3 — 2026-09-29 08:20
+- Layout (#21): only the middle column scrolls now — the app is pinned to the viewport (`height: 100vh` + `overflow: hidden` on the root in wide mode) so body-level scrolling no longer moves the side panes. Left/right columns keep their existing `overflow-y: auto`, so any overflowing content (e.g. a long planet list) scrolls inside its own track instead.
+- Added `min-height: 0` to the BODY wrapper and the 3-column grid — flex/grid items default to a content-based minimum size, which is what let the page grow past the viewport before.
+- The middle OPERATIONS panel became a flex column with its PanelContent as the scroll area (`flex: 1; min-height: 0; overflow-y: auto`): long tab content scrolls inside the panel while the "OPERATIONS // SHIP COMMAND" header stays pinned — without this, the Panel root's default `overflow: hidden` would have clipped it.
+- Narrow layout (<900px) is unchanged: stacked columns with natural body scroll (the viewport pin applies to wide mode only).
+- e2e: no spec changes needed — none use mouse.wheel/scrollTo, and Playwright scrolls click targets into view within any scroll container. All 15 specs compile unchanged.
+
+## v0.9.2 — 2026-09-29 08:00
+- WORLD MAP (#19): the bottom JUMP ROUTES button list is gone — jumps now happen by clicking galactic chart fields. Systems adjacent to the current one (the same set as before, undiscovered included) are clickable nodes with a pointer cursor and a `// JUMP` sublabel; the current system stays bright green with CURRENT, unreachable systems are dimmed (OFFLINE) and not clickable.
+- NodeGraph (`components/ui/node-graph.tsx`) gained two optional, backward-compatible additions: an `onNodeClick(id)` prop that turns non-disabled nodes into buttons (click + Enter/Space, role=button, aria-label, focusable), and a per-node `disabled` flag — while a jump is in flight every node locks, mirroring the old disabled-button behaviour.
+- The jump flow itself is unchanged: same POST /api/jump call, world state refreshed from the response (turn counter, current system, new routes), event log entry written server-side as before.
+- e2e: two smoke tests touched the removed buttons and were updated — "world map shows…" now asserts the adjacent systems render as clickable chart fields (role=button count matches API adjacency) and "jumping to an adjacent system" clicks the target node by its accessible name. All 15 specs compile; `jumpToFreshSystem` is API-driven and needed no change.
+
+## v0.9.1 — 2026-09-29 06:47
+- UI layout pass (visual only — no game logic or API changes): CARGO HOLD // INVENTORY moved out of the LOCAL SYSTEM tab into a persistent panel in the right column; the UPCOMING ENCOUNTERS placeholder was removed entirely; the SHIP DATA placeholder was merged into VESSEL METRICS.
+- Grid: `260px / 1fr / 240px` → `320px / 1fr / 360px` (left pane ~+23%, right pane ~50% wider).
+- Cargo state wiring follows the existing lifted-state pattern: MissionControl fetches `/api/system` on mount and owns the SystemState; LocalSystemPanel receives it as a prop, keeps its planet list + scan result + explore action, and reports each scan's response up via `onChanged` (same as ShipSystemsPanel) — so CARGO HOLD mirrors scans live with no polling.
+- VESSEL METRICS now carries the two SHIP DATA rows that had real values: SECTOR (current system name from the lifted state) and TURN (`ship.turn`). The rest was dropped — HULL INTEGRITY / REACTOR OUTPUT / CREW ACTIVE duplicate the existing progress bars, TOTAL MODULES duplicates the left column's "N ONLINE" badge, DRIFT VELOCITY has no game equivalent.
+- e2e: no assertion changes needed — the LOCAL SYSTEM tests only assert panel internals (header, EXPLORE buttons, SCAN RESULT) and API state; CARGO HOLD / UPCOMING ENCOUNTERS / SHIP DATA were never referenced by any spec. All 15 specs compile unchanged.
+
+## v0.9.0 — 2026-09-29 02:47
+- EVENT LOG tab — the last of the seven tabs to go live (issue #11): the terminal now renders the save's real game events instead of a placeholder feed. Every action already appends an event row (new game, jump, scan, research, ship upgrade/expand/build, mission accept + completion); this issue adds the read side and the rendering.
+- New endpoint: `GET /api/events` → latest N events, newest first (`{id, turn, type, message, createdAt}`), auto-initializes like all other reads. Optional `?limit=` (default 50, cap 200; non-integers or out-of-range values → 400). OpenAPI spec in code updated (14 → 15 paths) with the Event schema enumerating the eight event types.
+- Read model (`lib/game/events.ts`): `getEvents(db, limit)` — ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT N over the existing append-only events table; `parseEventLimit` for the query param. No schema change — the events table and all its writers already existed.
+- EVENT LOG tab: self-fetching EventLogPanel (MissionPanel pattern — refetches on each tab open). One terminal line per event: `T<turn> // <MESSAGE>` uppercased, with the event's local time as the timestamp; new_game lines render as system lines. Placeholder feed + now() removed from mission-control.tsx.
+- Tests: unit — parseEventLimit default/accept/reject (400) and getEvents newest-first ordering + slicing; writer coverage gaps closed so every action type is asserted with correct turn/type/message (expand had no event assertion at all; build and mission-complete lacked the turn check); e2e — after a jump + scan, both events appear in GET /api/events with the newer one first and the terminal renders both lines (idempotent across retries: asserts on this run's own entries by turn/message, never absolute counts), plus the latest five log lines come back identical (ids included) after the mid-run container restart.
+
 ## v0.8.0 — 2026-09-29 01:56
 - MISSIONS tab — contract generation, acceptance and completion (issue #10): the first objective loop on top of issue #9's research. The board is generated deterministically from the save seed; one mission is ACTIVE at a time; completion is checked after every jump and scan and grants its reward into the cargo hold.
 - New table (`lib/db/schema.ts` + DDL): `missions` (id/save_id/type/description/target_system_id/condition_kind/progress_target/progress/reward_kind/reward_qty/state). Seeded on new game AND as backfill step v6 — same pattern as tech; saves created by older code get their board on first read. `SCHEMA_VERSION` 5 → 6.
