What

Every remaining hand-built widget moves onto Base UI parts. The UI looks the same as before; only the code underneath changes. Base UI is now imported only inside components/ui.

Widget Before Now
Request list right-click menu div with document listeners ContextMenu (new components/ui/context-menu.tsx). It acts on the row the opening event came from: right click, the menu key, or a long press, iOS included
Body Copy menu div with document listeners DropdownMenu, new look="list"
Segmented control, request kind filter, theme, team plan, ticket category, blocking, rating, body view, email preview width, text view and JSON view, changelog filter, ops queue, reply/note, sharing, refunds and view-as pickers buttons with role="radio", aria-pressed or no state at all RadioGroup + Radio (new components/ui/radio-group.tsx)
Settings switch role="switch" button Base UI Switch (new components/ui/switch.tsx)
Phone site menu Escape, blur and scrim handlers Popover, portalled into the header so it keeps the header's stacking context
Docs contents (phone) aria-modal aside, always mounted Dialog, unmounted while closed. It closes at the md breakpoint and has a close control a touch screen reader can reach
Dashboard guide sections, MDX <Tabs> buttons Base UI Tabs
Quota, allowance and share-data bars role="progressbar" Meter (role="meter")

The cookie banner stays as it is: it is a non-modal notice that has to be answered, with no keyboard or dismiss behaviour of its own for a part to replace. The request list stays a hand-built listbox, because Base UI has no standalone listbox. The timeline's SVG dots stay hand-built, because they are points on a chart.

lib/retired-classes.test.ts now fails on a hand-written widget role outside components/ui, whether written as role="radio", role={"menu"}, a props object's role: "dialog", or aria-modal. The cookie banner is the one file allowed.

Behaviour changes

  • Every pick-one choice is one Tab stop, and the arrow keys move the choice. Base UI does not use Home and End there, so the segmented control loses them, as native radio groups do.
  • The two list menus and the guide's sections work from the keyboard.
  • The dashboard's shortcut keys now leave an open menu or dialog alone. Before, a letter typed with focus in a menu could open Replay or copy the curl command behind it.
  • The docs contents dialog traps focus while open. When closed it no longer leaves its links reachable by Tab under aria-hidden, and it no longer leaks a faint strip of its shadow along the left edge on phones.
  • globals.css gives every radio group the darker control edge. The body, preview, text and JSON view switches and the ops queue switch keep their old hairline with border-border!, so they look as before.

Checks

  • Pixels: screenshots of main and of this branch, on two local dev servers with the same data, light and dark.
    • Compared screens:
      • request view, context menu, Copy menu
      • endpoint settings at full height
      • Appearance, Plan, Share links
      • the team billing panel, New ticket, a closed ticket's rating
      • the phone site menu, signed in and out
      • the docs page with its contents open and closed
      • the changelog, the email JSON view, the dashboard guide
      • the ops tickets, ticket, sharing and refunds pages
    • Identical apart from sub-pixel anti-aliasing noise and Next's dev badge.
    • Menu text renders with greyscale smoothing inside the Base UI popup, as the existing Base UI menus already do.
    • The shadow strip described above is gone.
  • Behaviour: checked in the browser.
    • Context menu:
      • Copy ID copies, and Pin and Unpin work.
      • It opens from a contextmenu event and from a touch long press.
      • A right click on a group heading opens nothing.
    • Arrow keys move the kind filter, segmented control, theme, plan, body view and rating.
    • The switch toggles on click and Space.
    • Copy menu:
      • By keyboard, Enter picks and focus returns to the button.
      • Typing r, c or 2 there no longer reaches the dashboard shortcuts.
    • Phone menu:
      • A keyboard open focuses the first link, and Escape returns focus to the button.
      • Tabbing out, a tap on the scrim and a link all close it.
    • Docs contents:
      • Escape, a link and Search all work.
      • Widening the window past md closes it and releases the page.
  • Tests: typecheck, lint and Prettier pass. Unit tests: 1767 pass. Full Playwright suite against the branch: 156 pass, 25 env-gated skips.
  • Reviews: CodeRabbit's three findings are fixed and answered. Three Opus review rounds are done and their findings are fixed. Round 2 brought back the Copy menu's click-through, a heading menu, the Saved replies picker as a Base UI menu, and the sharing tabs. Round 3 fixed where focus goes when the Saved replies menu closes.
  • Context menu: a click outside it only closes it, as with the browser's own context menu. Base UI keeps a context menu modal.

Walkthrough

This PR adds shared Base UI components and adopts them across dashboard, navigation, settings, support, and billing interfaces. It also updates design-system guidance, a changelog entry, and widget-role and end-to-end checks.

Changes: Base UI controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared control components
apps/web/components/ui/context-menu.tsx, apps/web/components/ui/dropdown-menu.tsx, apps/web/components/ui/meter.tsx, apps/web/components/ui/popover.tsx, apps/web/components/ui/radio-group.tsx, AGENTS.md, apps/web/changelog/web/base-ui-menus-and-choices.json, apps/web/lib/retired-classes.test.ts
Adds context-menu, meter, popover, and radio-group components. Dropdown menus gain panel and list styles. Design guidance, changelog content, and the widget-role check are updated.
Radio and switch controls
apps/web/app/(settings)/account/appearance/page.tsx, apps/web/components/dashboard/settings-primitives.tsx, apps/web/components/support/new-ticket-form.tsx, apps/web/components/support/ticket-view.tsx, apps/web/components/teams/team-billing-panel.tsx
Replaces custom radio controls with shared RadioGroup and Radio components. The dashboard switch uses Base UI switch primitives.
Dashboard menu interactions
apps/web/components/dashboard/request-detail.tsx, apps/web/components/dashboard/request-list.tsx
Replaces custom copy and context menus with shared menu components. The request list records the selected row for context-menu actions and adds a screen-reader status for its displayed count.
Mobile navigation menus
apps/web/components/docs/sidebar.tsx, apps/web/components/nav/site-header.tsx
The docs sidebar uses a controlled dialog for its mobile menu. The site header uses a popover for its mobile navigation.
Usage meters
apps/web/components/account/shares/shares-page.tsx, apps/web/components/settings/allowance-meters.tsx, apps/web/components/settings/quota-meter.tsx, apps/web/tests/e2e/settings.spec.ts
Replaces progress-bar markup with the shared Meter component and updates the end-to-end assertion to use the meter role.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review db5f9

On some touch devices, long-pressing a request row may not open its menu. The phone docs contents dialog also lacks an in-dialog close control for touch screen-reader users, and it can stay open invisibly if the viewport grows past the tablet breakpoint. These are fixable, localized issues; resolve them before merging.

- Around line 191-195: Update handleCtxOpenChange to resolve the request row
from the opening event’s target when ctxPressedRef.current is null, using the
nearest [data-request-id] element; ignore events whose targets are outside a
request row. Preserve closing behavior and remove ctxPressedRef and its
onContextMenu handler only if they are no longer needed.

Review comments at @apps/web/components/docs/sidebar.tsx:
- Line 150: Update the mobile dialog state managed by Dialog.Root and
setMobileOpen so the dialog closes when the viewport crosses into the desktop
layout at the md breakpoint. Preserve the existing mobile open behavior and
avoid leaving the modal focus trap or scroll lock active after the mobile UI is
hidden.
- Line 165: Add an accessible, labeled close control as the first child inside
Dialog.Popup in the mobile sidebar, using Dialog.Close so touch screen-reader
users can dismiss the modal. Keep SidebarContent and its existing navigation and
search dismissal behavior unchanged.

…e UI

Every remaining hand-built widget moves onto Base UI parts, imported only
inside components/ui, with the look unchanged:

- The request list's context menu (Base UI ContextMenu, acting on the row
  the opening event came from, a long press included) and the body's Copy
  menu and ops Saved replies picker (DropdownMenu in a new `list` look, not
  modal, as before).
- Every pick-one choice is a RadioGroup: the segmented control, request
  filters, body, preview, text and JSON view switches, theme, team plan,
  ticket category, blocking and rating, the changelog filter and the ops
  pickers. View switches keep their hairline edge.
- The settings switch is a Base UI Switch; usage bars are Meters.
- The phone site menu is a Popover kept in the header's stacking context;
  the docs contents on phones are a Dialog, unmounted while closed, closed
  at the md breakpoint, with a close control inside for touch screen
  readers.
- The dashboard guide's sections, the MDX Tabs and the ops sharing
  sections are Base UI Tabs.
- The dashboard's shortcut keys leave an open menu or dialog alone.

A test fails on a hand-written widget role outside components/ui.
