fix(ui): solve header visibility by constraining pane heights
After extensive debugging, discovered root cause: bordered panes in profileListView were growing unbounded without explicit Height() constraints, causing content to overflow and terminal to truncate header from top. Solution: Calculate available height for panes and cap at 70% of contentHeight: - filterHeight: 2-3 lines depending on filter mode - helpHeight: 4 lines for help text - paneHeight: contentHeight - filterHeight - helpHeight - 4 (safety margin) - maxPaneHeight: 70% of contentHeight (cap) - Set explicit Height(paneHeight) on both profile and K8s panes This ensures total content fits within available space, preventing overflow. Debug process: 1. Added markers at top/bottom of content 2. User reported seeing bottom but not top marker 3. Confirmed content overflow from top 4. Added explicit Height() constraints 5. Iteratively reduced height until header visible 6. Settled on 70% cap for safety Also updated: - CLAUDE.md: Documented Session 5 with complete debugging journey Fixes: Header now visible in all views including profile list view 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Session 5: Header Visibility and Layout Fixes
764+
765+
### The Problem
766+
Header was not showing in the profile list view despite:
767+
- Tests showing it rendered correctly
768+
- Working in splash screen and company views
769+
- Proper Bubble Tea layout structure
770+
771+
### Root Cause Discovery
772+
Through extensive debugging with markers, discovered that:
773+
1. Content was being rendered correctly
774+
2. BUT content was **too tall** for available contentHeight
775+
3. Terminal was truncating from the top, cutting off header
776+
4. The View() JoinVertical was correct, but panes had no height constraints
777+
778+
### The Solution: Explicit Pane Height Constraints
779+
780+
**Key Fix**: Set explicit `Height()` on bordered panes in profileListView()
781+
782+
```go
783+
// Calculate available height for panes
784+
filterHeight := 2 // spacing line
785+
helpHeight := 4 // help text + spacing
786+
maxPaneHeight := (contentHeight * 70) / 100 // Cap at 70%
787+
paneHeight := contentHeight - filterHeight - helpHeight - 4
788+
789+
// CRITICAL: Set both Width AND Height
790+
profilePane := profileBorderStyle.Width(profilePaneWidth).Height(paneHeight).Render(...)
791+
k8sPane := k8sBorderStyle.Width(k8sPaneWidth).Height(paneHeight).Render(...)
792+
```
793+
794+
### Why This Works
795+
1. **Constrains total content height** - Panes can't overflow
796+
2. **70% cap** - Ensures room for header, help text, spacing
797+
3. **Conservative math** - Extra safety margins prevent edge cases
798+
4. **Lipgloss truncates pane content** - Not the entire view
799+
800+
### Changes Made
801+
802+
**File: internal/ui/view.go**
803+
- Added pane height calculations in profileListView()
804+
- Set explicit Height() on both profile and K8s panes
805+
- Capped pane height at 70% of contentHeight
806+
- Added safety margins for filter, help text, spacing
807+
808+
**File: .gitignore**
809+
- Added `asso` and `ssoutil` executables
810+
- Added `.claude/` directory
811+
812+
### Other Approaches Tried (That Didn't Work)
813+
1. ❌ Removing header from individual views (header still missing)
814+
2. ❌ Using contentHeight for calculations (panes still too tall)
815+
3. ❌ Setting only Width() (panes grew infinitely tall)
816+
4. ❌ Using lipgloss.Place to truncate content (truncated wrong part)
817+
5. ❌ Copying company view structure exactly (same issue)
818+
819+
### Debug Process
820+
1. Added debug markers at top and bottom of content
821+
2. Discovered bottom marker visible, top marker not visible
822+
3. Confirmed content overflow from top
823+
4. Added explicit Height() constraints on panes
824+
5. Iteratively reduced pane height until header visible
825+
6. Settled on 70% cap for safety
826+
827+
### Testing Infrastructure Added
828+
- `internal/ui/full_layout_test.go` - Tests complete layout composition
829+
- `internal/ui/profile_view_test.go` - Tests profile view specifically
830+
- All tests confirm header at Line 0
831+
832+
### Lessons Learned
833+
1. **Lipgloss borders can grow unbounded** without explicit Height()
834+
2. **Tests don't catch overflow** because they test string content, not terminal rendering
835+
3. **Terminal truncates from top** when content exceeds screen height
836+
4. **Conservative height calculations** are essential for complex layouts
837+
5. **Debug markers at top AND bottom** reveal overflow direction
