Findings / UX-050
File-path pills scrolled the whole page sideways at 390 px
FixedMediumFailureNewsroom Design Lab
What we saw
Long, unbreakable file-path pills on the data pages pushed the page wider than a phone.
Why it matters
Sideways scroll on a phone makes every line harder to read and hides the edge of the content.
The fix
Let pills wrap; the gate now fails on any sideways scroll at 390 px. Fixed in kit v0.1.2.
