# Krate (Window Group) Feature Specification

## Overview
A krate is a named group of detail windows for a single Kubernetes object or collection. Krates live on the canvas and serve as organizational units for related workspace views.

## Core Responsibilities
- Group related windows together visually and logically
- Auto-fit frame around contained windows
- Manage window layout within krate boundaries
- Handle krate-level interactions (move, drag, collapse, expand)

## Visual Container

### Krate Frame
- **Dashed border**: `border: 1px dashed rgba(color, .3)`, `border-radius: 18px`
- **Background**: `rgba(color, .04)` (subtle color tint)
- **Auto-fit**: Frame adjusts to bounding box of all windows + 30px padding
- **Color**: Matches namespace palette (e.g., payments: `#6fb1ff`)

### Header Bar
Above the frame:
- Shows object name + status badge + window count
- **Drag handle**: Move entire krate
- **× button**: Dismiss krate
- **Minimize button** (`—`): Collapse to overview card
- **Double-click header**: Collapse/expand toggle

## Window Layout

### Grid System
- Windows tiled in 2-column grid
- Column 0: `dx: 0`
- Column 1: `dx: 412`
- Row height: 416px
- **Window default size**: 380×362px

### Properties
- Windows never overlap (snap-to-grid on release)
- When one window resized, siblings resize proportionally in same column/row
- Storage:
  ```typescript
  interface Window {
    wid: string;
    kind: 'detail' | 'collection';
    tab: 'logs' | 'shell' | 'describe' | 'yaml';
    dx: number;  // offset within krate (column * 412)
    dy: number;  // offset within krate (row * 416)
    w: number;
    h: number;
  }
  ```

## Krate Interactions

### Dragging
- **Drag header** = move entire krate
- **Non-overlapping placement**: On drag release, nudge to avoid overlap with other krates
- **Gentle snap, not strict grid** (allows flexibility while preventing overlap)

### Collapse/Expand
- **Minimized state**: 230px-wide card showing:
  - Name
  - View-letter badges (Y/D/L/S)
  - Status dot
  - Window count
  - Namespace
- **Double-click collapsed card**: Re-expand and fly camera to krate

### Camera Fly
- On krate creation: animate camera to center krate at `zoom: 0.92`
- Duration: `.52s cubic-bezier(.22,.8,.28,1)`
- Position: center of krate's bounding box

## Krate State
```typescript
interface Krate {
  id: string;
  objId: string | null;        // null for collection krates
  collScope?: { kind: 'namespace' | 'category', value: string };
  label: string;              // display name
  status: string;             // status badge text
  color: string;              // hex, from namespace palette
  wx: number; wy: number;     // world position (top-left of frame)
  minimized: boolean;
  windows: Window[];
  seq: number;                // for generating unique window IDs
}
```

## Non-Overlapping Placement Algorithm
1. Try computed default position
2. Check bounding boxes against all existing krates
3. If overlap, nudge by fixed increments (e.g., 20px right/down)
4. Repeat until no overlap
5. **Same algorithm** used on creation AND drag release

## Gotchas
1. **Auto-fit frame**: Re-compute bounding box whenever windows are added/removed/moved/resized
2. **Non-overlapping**: Use AABB (Axis-Aligned Bounding Box) collision detection
3. **Window grid**: Store `colWidths` and `rowHeights` arrays for proper resize relationships (future enhancement)
4. **Krate ID**: `objId` is null for collections; otherwise references the Kubernetes object ID
