pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a1e51b0b97 the device is in the URL too
?mode=edit&device=mobile

I had argued this one should stay in React state — a way of LOOKING rather than a thing being looked at
— and the distinction did not survive contact with the obvious use. "Here is what it does on a phone"
is exactly the link somebody wants to send, and a URL that drops the width sends them the desktop.

docs/navigation-audit.md already said addressable state goes in the URL. Both of these are addressable.
The rule was right; my exception was not.

Absent means desktop, as absent means view: an ordinary link carries neither parameter, and each
appears once somebody has chosen it.

/**
* How the open section is being looked at: editing or just viewing, and at what width.
*
* ── Why a context, and the same shape as SaveTarget ──
*
* The controls live in DetailPanel's bar and the thing they control lives in the section. DetailPanel
* deliberately knows nothing about the sections beyond a map of keys to components, so the section
* announces itself rather than being handed props — exactly as it does for Save.
*
* ── Why a section has to OPT IN ──
*
* Most sections have no preview. Media is a file browser, Administration is a connection form, Messages
* is an inbox — offering to view any of them at tablet width is offering something that means nothing,
* and a control that does nothing teaches people that controls do nothing.
*
* So the bar shows these only when the open section says it has a preview, the same way Save renders
* nothing when there is nothing to save.
*
* ── Both live in the URL ──
*
* `?mode=edit&device=mobile`. I had argued the device should stay in React state — a way of LOOKING
* rather than a thing being looked at — and that distinction did not survive contact with the obvious
* use: "here is what it does on a phone" is exactly the link somebody wants to send, and a URL that
* drops the width sends them the desktop.
*
* docs/navigation-audit.md says addressable state goes in the URL, and both of these are addressable.
* The rule was already right; the exception was not.

/**
* The widths a preview is rendered at, and why these numbers.
*
* Widths ONLY. There were heights too, and they were wrong: media queries answer width, so a frame's
* height changes how much page you see and never which layout you get. The preview takes whatever
* height the panel has.
*
* They are REAL viewport sizes, and the preview is scaled down to fit rather than being given whatever
* width the panel happens to have. That distinction is the whole point: a "Desktop" preview squeezed
* into a 900px panel would render the site's tablet layout and call it desktop, which is precisely the
* lie a preview exists to prevent.
*
* mobile 390 — the iPhone width the site's own slot table already assumes (see media/slots.ts,
* where MOBILE is 342: this minus the layout's 48px of padding)
* tablet 834 — iPad portrait, and deliberately ABOVE the site's `md:` breakpoint at 768, so it
* shows the desktop navigation rather than the drawer. A tablet at 768 exactly sits
* on the boundary and is the least informative width available.
* desktop 1440 — a common laptop, comfortably past the 1280 the content column caps at, so the
* margins either side are visible rather than implied.
