- Rail chip background opaque (was /85) so G{n} labels stay AA-legible over
tree content (Leonie).
- Rail effect: replace the reactKey hack with an inputsFinite guard that both
tracks deps and guards NaN; name the fallback-stack magics; correct the stale
'xMidYMid' comment (the CTM mapping is preserveAspectRatio-agnostic) (Felix/Markus).
- GLOSSARY zoom range 0.25–3.0 → 0.25–10; ADR-027 preserveAspectRatio note
xMidYMid → xMinYMin (Elicit traceability).

ADR-027 — Stammbaum pan/zoom is a custom viewBox layer, not a third-party library
Date: 2026-05-29 Status: Accepted Issue: #692 (mobile read path — pan, zoom, fit-to-view); supersedes OQ-007 Milestone: Stammbaum mobile read path
Context
#692 makes /stammbaum usable on phones: drag-to-pan, pinch/keyboard/wheel zoom,
fit-to-screen, recentre-on-person, a shareable URL view state, and an edge-fade
affordance. During issue grooming, OQ-007 was resolved to adopt the panzoom
library (timmywil v4.x) on the team's recommendation, pinned per NFR-MAINT-001.
That recommendation predated a load-bearing implementation detail: StammbaumTree.svelte
already renders zoom by deriving the SVG viewBox (w = baseW / z, centred on the
layout bounding box, preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin meet" so a fresh visit anchors to the
tree's top-left corner) — not by applying a CSS
transform. The panzoom library operates by writing transform to a DOM node. Adopting
it would mean:
- abandoning the proven viewBox derivation and the in-SVG generation gutter (#689), which lives in SVG user-space coordinates and would have to be reconciled with a CSS-transformed parent;
- re-deriving fit-to-screen, recentre, and the
?cx&cy&zURL state against the library's transform coordinate system; - a client-only lazy import to keep the SSR-rendered tree from touching
windowat module load; and - ~8 KB of bundle for behaviour we can express in a few pure functions.
Decision
Build pan/zoom as a thin custom layer over the existing viewBox, with no third-party dependency. This reverses OQ-007.
- All geometry is pure and unit-tested in
frontend/src/lib/person/genealogy/panZoom.ts:clampZoom,parsePanZoomParams/serializePanZoomParams,screenDeltaToSvg,zoomAtPoint(centroid-anchored),clampPan(edge-clamp),recentreOn,lerpView. - Pan offsets shift the viewBox centre; zoom scales its width/height. The default
{x:0, y:0, z:1}already frames the whole tree, so fit-to-screen is a reset to the default — no bounding-box recomputation. - DOM event wiring lives in the
panZoomGesturesaction (pointer/wheel/pinch + inertia, reduced-motion aware) and a keyboard handler on the SVG; both delegate to the pure module.
Consequences
- NFR-MAINT-001 (library pinning + feature-flag fallback) is moot — no library is
adopted. The "swap-out point" is
panZoom.ts+panZoomGestures.ts. - Text stays vector-crisp at any zoom (SVG-native scaling), satisfying US-PAN-002 AC5.
- The #689 gutter and the #361 seeded-rank invariant are untouched by the pan/zoom layer.
- Geometry is testable in the fast node project; only the DOM glue needs the browser project.
- Trade-off: we own the inertia/pinch code (~a few hundred lines across the action) rather than delegating it. This is acceptable given the testability and zero-dependency wins.
The issue body's OQ-007 row is updated to point at this ADR.
