fix(web): let task labels use card width

[hydraxman]

Description

Task labels on board cards were capped at 5rem even when the card had more room, so category-prefixed labels such as Client: Totem lost the value that distinguishes them.

This removes the fixed text-width cap and lets each badge use the available card width. Labels that are genuinely wider than the card still truncate safely, keep their color marker visible, and expose the complete name as native title text.

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
• Documentation update
• Refactoring (no functional changes)
• Performance improvement
• Test addition or update
• Other (please describe):

How Has This Been Tested?

• Unit tests — pnpm --filter @kaneo/web test (42 files, 155 tests passed)
• Integration tests
• Manual testing
• Other: pnpm --filter @kaneo/web typecheck, targeted Biome check, and pnpm --filter @kaneo/web build

Screenshots (if applicable)

Not applicable; the component regression verifies that normal label names no longer receive the fixed 5rem cap while oversized names remain constrained by the card.

Fix TaskLabels truncation by letting badges use full card width

🐞 Bug fix 🧪 Tests 🕐 10-20 Minutes

AI Description

• Remove fixed max-width cap so label names can use available card width.
• Preserve safe truncation for truly-overflowing labels and keep color dot visible.
• Add regression test to ensure truncation classes and native title are applied.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Use a Tooltip component instead of native title

• ➕ Consistent styling and better discoverability than the browser title tooltip
• ➕ Can support richer content and mobile-friendly interactions
• ➖ Adds UI complexity and potential dependency/behavior differences across platforms
• ➖ May require accessibility and focus/hover behavior tuning

2. Keep a max-width cap but compute it from card width (CSS variable)

• ➕ Retains predictable label sizing while scaling with card layout
• ➕ Could prevent very long labels from dominating multi-label rows
• ➖ More wiring (measurements/CSS variables) for a straightforward flexbox constraint problem
• ➖ Higher maintenance and more edge cases (responsive, virtualization, reflow)

Recommendation: The PR’s approach (removing the arbitrary max-width and relying on flexbox min-w-0/truncate with non-shrinking dot) is the simplest and most robust fix for the reported truncation. Consider a Tooltip component only if product wants a consistent, accessible overflow-reveal behavior beyond native title.

1. Brittle class-based test 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new test asserts specific Tailwind classes and relies on labelName.parentElement being the
Badge element, so non-functional refactors (e.g., changing classes/structure while keeping the same
truncation behavior) will break the test unnecessarily. This increases maintenance cost and can
create noisy failures unrelated to user-visible regressions.

Code

apps/web/src/components/kanban-board/task-labels.test.tsx[R22-27]

+    const labelName = screen.getByText(name);
+    expect(labelName).not.toHaveClass("max-w-20");
+    expect(labelName).toHaveClass("min-w-0", "truncate");
+    expect(labelName).toHaveAttribute("title", name);
+    expect(labelName.parentElement).toHaveClass("max-w-full", "min-w-0");
+  });

Evidence

The added test hard-codes specific Tailwind classes and uses parentElement to reach the Badge
container, which directly encodes implementation details rather than verifying a user-facing
outcome.

apps/web/src/components/kanban-board/task-labels.test.tsx[18-27]
apps/web/src/components/ui/badge.tsx[46-56]

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The new unit test validates implementation details (exact Tailwind classnames and parentElement structure) instead of the observable behavior (label can use available width and still truncates when constrained).
### Issue Context
This makes the test fragile: a future change to `Badge` rendering, class composition, or utility class choices could fail the test even if the UI behavior remains correct.
### Fix Focus Areas
- apps/web/src/components/kanban-board/task-labels.test.tsx[18-27]
### Suggested approach
- Keep the useful assertion that the full label is available as tooltip text (e.g., `title`).
- Replace `toHaveClass(...)` / `parentElement` assertions with behavior-level assertions that are stable:
- Prefer role/label-based queries if possible.
- If you must check truncation-related setup in JSDOM, reduce coupling: assert only the presence of the `title` attribute and that the label text node exists, and/or snapshot the rendered markup at the component boundary (less sensitive than checking specific class tokens).
- Avoid relying on `parentElement` (query the Badge via `closest('[data-slot="badge"]')` if you need the container; `Badge` sets `data-slot="badge"`).

Remove the redundant callback type annotation.

labels is already typed as NonNullable<Task["labels"]>, so TypeScript can infer label in labels.map. Remove the inline { id: string; name: string; color: string } annotation to keep this code aligned with the task label type.

As per coding guidelines, prefer inferred TypeScript types and do not add explicit type annotations that TypeScript can infer.
