Synopsis

Bump the composer draft text from 0.95rem to 1.05rem, desktop only.

Purpose

The composer textarea font-size is currently 0.95rem everywhere. That size is tuned for narrow viewports where vertical space is scarce, but on a wide screen there is room to make long-form drafts more comfortable to read while typing - the small glyphs leave that comfort on the table.

Description

  • existing: .composer-textarea declares a single base font-size: 0.95rem that applies to all viewports; the file is mobile-first, so @media (max-width: 720px) blocks layer on mobile-only overrides
  • change: add a @media (min-width: 721px) block that raises .composer-textarea font-size to 1.05rem - the inverse of the 720px mobile breakpoint, so phones keep the compact size and only large screens grow
  • result: desktop drafts read more comfortably; mobile is untouched

Notes:

  • intentional behavioural change, desktop-only - editing the base rule would have grown phones too, hence the min-width gate rather than a base edit
  • min-height: 5rem left as-is; at the larger font the empty composer shows ~3.2 lines vs ~3.5, a negligible shift that keeps the ~3-line empty-state intent
  • gate green (mise run test, postcss stylesheet parse included); not browser-verified from the cloud session

Generated by Claude Code

The composer draft text sits at 0.95rem, a size tuned for narrow
viewports where vertical space is scarce. On a wide screen there is
room to make long-form drafts more comfortable to read while typing,
so bump it to 1.05rem behind a min-width:721px query - the inverse of
the 720px mobile breakpoint the rest of the stylesheet uses. Phones
keep the compact size; only large screens get the larger glyphs.
