fix: timeline resize regression + dynamic lane alignment

- Remove splitAreaEl dependency from handleResizeMove; use fixed 40-500 clamp
- Add computeLanes() + LaneLayout for dynamic lane height computation
- Update clipRenderer to accept LaneLayout instead of hardcoded constants
- Tighten CONTROLS_HEIGHT (30→22) and CLIP_HEIGHT (30→20) to reduce gaps
- Tighten label baseline offset (14→10) for better waveform-to-tick alignment

+# v0.1.3 Polish/Tweaks Implementation Summary
+
+**Date:** 2026-09-22 16:55 ET
+**Version:** 0.1.2 → 0.1.3
+
+## Task Description
+
+Implemented three UI polish features for v0.1.3 of the GUI Video Clipper (Tauri + Svelte 5):
+
+1. **Adjustable clip list layout** — clip list can appear below the timeline (default) or as a left sidebar next to the video preview, with a toolbar toggle button and persisted preference
+2. **Timeline timestamp magnification** — increased base font from 10px to 12px, with a mouse-proximity magnification effect using cosine interpolation (~18px peak, 80px radius)
+3. **Timeline right-click context menu** — custom context menu replacing the default web menu, with Mark In/Out, Go to Clip Start/End, and Delete Clip actions
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### Commits (oldest → newest)
+- `0b8bec2` — chore: bump version to 0.1.3
+- `b371ec6` — feat: adjustable clip list layout (bottom/left sidebar)
+- `923c7b0` — fix: clip list width edge cases (falsy check, narrow-window clamp)
+- `27c199e` — feat: larger timeline timestamps with mouse-proximity magnification
+- `8c27177` — feat: timeline right-click context menu with mark/seek/delete actions
+- `279e27a` — docs: user edits to v0.1.3 spec (version bump section)
+
+### Files Modified
+- `VERSION` — new file, version 0.1.3
+- `package.json` — version bump
+- `package-lock.json` — lockfile sync
+- `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json` — version bump
+- `src-tauri/Cargo.toml` — version bump
+- `src-tauri/Cargo.lock` — lockfile sync
+- `src/lib/stores/preferences.svelte.ts` — added `clipListPosition` and `clipListWidth` preferences
+- `src/App.svelte` — dual layout modes (bottom/left), toggle button, sidebar resize
+- `src/lib/components/ClipList.svelte` — added `position` prop for sidebar styling
+- `src/lib/timeline/renderer.ts` — larger base font, magnification math in `drawTimeTicks()`

+
+### Design & Plan Docs
+- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-22-v013-polish-tweaks.md` — design spec
+- `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-22-v013-polish-tweaks.md` — implementation plan
+
+## Process
+
+Used subagent-driven development: 5 tasks dispatched as subagents with task reviews between each. Two reviewer findings on Task 2 (falsy width check, narrow-window clamp) were fixed before proceeding.
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+- The layout restructure required careful conditional rendering in App.svelte — the `{#if}/{:else}` approach creates two separate DOM trees. This means TransportControls gets remounted on layout toggle, which should be smoke-tested.
+- Context menu `$effect` for viewport clamping can flash position (0,0) for one frame before adjustment — initializing adjusted positions from the raw x/y props would eliminate this.
+- The bump-version.sh script doesn't sync package-lock.json — needed manual `npm install --package-lock-only`.
+
+## Follow-Up Items
+
+- [ ] Manual smoke test with `npm run tauri dev` — layout toggle, sidebar resize, timestamp magnification feel, context menu flow
+- [ ] Consider fixing first-frame context menu position flash
+- [ ] Consider adding `onresize` clamp for sidebar width when window shrinks below saved width

+# Fix Resize + Waveform Alignment
+
+**Date:** 2026-09-22 17:42
+**Task:** Implement the "Fix Resize + Waveform Alignment" plan to fix horizontal resize regression and waveform/lane alignment issues.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Resize Regression Fix — `src/App.svelte`
+- **Root cause:** After the CSS-grid refactor, `handleResizeMove` used `splitAreaEl.clientHeight` as the upper bound. Since `.lower-section` only contained the resize handle (5px) + timeline pane, `totalHeight ≈ timelineHeight + 5`, so the clamp `Math.min(totalHeight - 20, ...)` immediately locked the height.
+- **Fix:**
+  - Removed `splitAreaEl` state variable.
+  - Removed `bind:this={splitAreaEl}` from the `.lower-section` div.
+  - Simplified `handleResizeMove` to use a fixed max of 500 (matching the existing keyboard resize handler): `Math.max(40, Math.min(500, resizeStartHeight + delta))`.
+
+### 2. Dynamic Lane Layout — `src/lib/timeline/renderer.ts`
+- Removed fixed lane height constants (`THUMB_LANE_HEIGHT`, `WAVEFORM_LANE_HEIGHT`, `CONTROLS_LANE_HEIGHT`).
+- Added `LaneLayout` interface and `computeLanes(totalHeight)` function that dynamically computes lane positions proportionally based on total canvas height.
+  - Controls lane: fixed 30px at bottom.
+  - Clip lane: fixed 30px above controls.
+  - Remaining space split 55/45 between thumbnails and waveform (with minimums of 20px and 15px).
+- Updated `drawTimeline` to call `computeLanes(height)` and pass layout to all sub-draw functions.
+- Updated `drawTimeTicks` to accept `LaneLayout` and use `lanes.controlsY` instead of `state.height - CONTROLS_LANE_HEIGHT`.
+
+### 3. Clip Renderer Update — `src/lib/timeline/clipRenderer.ts`
+- Removed hardcoded `CLIP_LANE_Y` and `CLIP_LANE_HEIGHT` constants.
+- Updated `drawClips` and `hitTestClip` signatures to accept `LaneLayout` parameter.
+- All clip positioning now uses `lanes.clipY` and `lanes.clipHeight`.
+
+### 4. Timeline Component Update — `src/lib/components/Timeline.svelte`
+- Imported `computeLanes` from renderer.
+- Updated `hitTestClip` call to pass `computeLanes(timelineState.height)`.
+
+## Verification
+- `npm run check` (svelte-check): 0 errors, 0 warnings.
+
+## Files Modified
+- `src/App.svelte`
+- `src/lib/timeline/renderer.ts`
+- `src/lib/timeline/clipRenderer.ts`
+- `src/lib/components/Timeline.svelte`
+
+## Lessons Learned
+- When using CSS grid layouts, elements that previously represented the "total space" may now only contain their own children. Relying on `clientHeight` of such elements for resize calculations breaks — use fixed bounds instead.
+- Dynamic lane computation is preferable to fixed pixel constants because it adapts to any canvas height, preventing gaps or overlaps when the user resizes the timeline.

+# v0.1.3 Polish & Tweaks — Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-09-22
+**Version:** 0.1.2 → 0.1.3
+
+## Overview
+
+Three UI polish features for v0.1.3: adjustable clip-list layout, improved timeline timestamp labels with a mouse-proximity magnification effect, and a custom right-click context menu on the timeline.
+
+---
+
+## Feature 1: Adjustable Layout (Clip List Position)
+
+### Current State
+
+The main content area is a vertical stack:
+
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────┐
+│ Toolbar                      │
+├──────────────────────────────┤
+│ Video Preview                │
+├──────────────────────────────┤
+│ Transport Controls           │
+├──────────────────────────────┤
+│ Timeline / Thumbs / Waveform │
+├──────────────────────────────┤
+│ Clip List                    │
+├──────────────────────────────┤
+│ Status Bar                   │
+└──────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Proposed: Two Layout Modes
+
+A new `clipListPosition` preference (`'bottom' | 'left'`) controls where the clip list appears. Default: `'bottom'` (current behavior, unchanged).
+
+When set to `'left'`, the layout becomes:
+
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Toolbar                                  │
+├──────────┬───────────────────────────────┤
+│ Clip     │  Video Preview                │
+│ List     │                               │
+│          │                               │
+│          ├───────────────────────────────┤
+│          │  Transport Controls           │
+├──────────┴───────────────────────────────┤
+│ Timeline / Thumbs / Waveform (full)      │
+├──────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ Status Bar                               │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+Key details:
+
+- The clip list shares horizontal space only with the video preview and transport controls. The timeline remains full-width underneath — no horizontal space is sacrificed for timeline real estate.
+- A vertical drag-to-resize handle sits between the clip list and the video area, allowing the user to adjust the sidebar width. Default width: ~220px. Min: 150px. Max: 40% of window width.
+- The existing vertical resize handle between timeline and clip list only appears in `'bottom'` mode. In `'left'` mode, the timeline height is controlled by the existing `timelineHeight` state (still resizable via a horizontal drag handle between the upper section and the timeline).
+
+### Toggle Button
+
+A button in the toolbar (alongside ⚙ and ℹ) toggles between `'bottom'` and `'left'` modes. The icon visually hints at the current layout — e.g. a stacked-rows icon for bottom mode, a sidebar icon for left mode. Clicking it switches immediately and persists the preference.
+
+### Persistence
+
+- Add `clipListPosition: 'bottom' | 'left'` to the `Preferences` interface in `preferences.svelte.ts`.
+- Add `clipListWidth: number` (default 220) for the sidebar width in left mode.
+- Both are saved/loaded via the existing Tauri store mechanism.
+
+### Implementation Notes
+
+- `App.svelte` is the only component that needs structural changes. `ClipList.svelte`, `VideoPlayer.svelte`, and `Timeline.svelte` remain unchanged — they just get placed in different containers.
+- In `'left'` mode, the `.content` area becomes:
+  - A flex column with two children:
+    1. **Upper section** (flex row): `[ClipList sidebar | flex column of [VideoPlayer, TransportControls]]`
+    2. **Lower section** (same as before): timeline pane with resize handle
+  - The vertical resize handle between the upper and lower sections works the same as the existing one.
+- In `'bottom'` mode: the current layout is preserved exactly.
+- The `ClipList` component needs no changes; it already fills its container. The only adjustment is removing the `border-top` when in left mode (the sidebar should have a `border-right` instead), which can be handled via a CSS class or prop.
+
+---
+
+## Feature 2: Timeline Timestamp Labels
+
+### Current State
+
+Timestamp labels are rendered at `10px` font size in `drawTimeTicks()` in `renderer.ts`. They are small and hard to read.
+
+### Proposed Changes
+
+1. **Increase base font size** from `10px` to `12px`.
+2. **Mouse-proximity magnification effect:** As the cursor moves along the timeline, labels near the cursor smoothly scale up. This creates an invisible "magnifying lens" effect for timestamps.
+
+### Magnification Behavior
+
+- **Radius:** ~80px from cursor (in canvas pixel space).
+- **Peak size:** ~18px directly under the cursor.
+- **Falloff:** Smooth cosine interpolation from peak to base size. A label 80px away renders at base size; a label directly under the cursor renders at peak size.
+- **Vertical alignment:** Labels stay bottom-aligned as they grow — the text baseline remains constant, so larger labels grow upward. This prevents layout jitter.
+- **Cursor leaves timeline:** When the mouse leaves the canvas (`onmouseleave`), `mouseX` is set to `null` and all labels render at the base size. No magnification in this state.
+
+### Implementation Notes
+
+- `Timeline.svelte` already handles `onmousemove`. Add tracking of the mouse X coordinate (a simple `let mouseX = $state<number | null>(null)`), updated on `mousemove` and cleared on `mouseleave`.
+- Pass `mouseX` into `drawTimeline()` → `drawTimeTicks()`.
+- `drawTimeTicks()` computes the per-label font size based on distance from `mouseX`:
+  ```
+  distance = abs(labelX - mouseX)
+  if distance > MAGNIFY_RADIUS: scale = 0
+  else: scale = (1 + cos(PI * distance / MAGNIFY_RADIUS)) / 2
+  fontSize = BASE_FONT_SIZE + BONUS_FONT_SIZE * scale
+  ```
+- Trigger a redraw whenever `mouseX` changes. Since `requestDraw()` already coalesces via `requestAnimationFrame`, this adds no extra frame overhead — it simply piggybacks on the next scheduled frame.
+
+---
+
+## Feature 3: Timeline Right-Click Context Menu
+
+### Current State
+
+Right-clicking the timeline shows the default web/Tauri context menu (Reload, Inspect Element), which is not useful.
+
+### Proposed: Custom Context Menu
+
+A styled context menu appears on right-click anywhere on the timeline canvas. Right-clicking also moves the playhead to the clicked position.
+
+### Menu Items
+
+| # | Label | Behavior | Availability |
+|---|-------|----------|-------------|
+| 1 | **Mark In** | Sets in-point at the right-clicked time (calls `markInPoint`) | Always |
+| 2 | **Mark Out** | Sets out-point at the right-clicked time (calls `markOutPoint`) | Always |
+| — | *(separator)* | | |
+| 3 | **Go to Clip Start** | Seeks playhead to `selectedClip.startTime` | Disabled if no clip selected |
+| 4 | **Go to Clip End** | Seeks playhead to `selectedClip.endTime` | Disabled if no clip selected |
+| — | *(separator)* | | |
+| 5 | **Delete Clip** | Removes the selected clip | Hidden if no clip selected |
+
+### Behavior
+
+- **Right-click on canvas:** `contextmenu` event is intercepted, default is prevented. The playhead moves to the clicked time position. The context menu appears at the cursor's screen coordinates.
+- **Selecting an item:** Executes the action and closes the menu.
+- **Closing without action:** Click anywhere outside the menu, press Escape, or scroll — the menu closes.
+- **Positioning:** The menu is rendered as a positioned `<div>` appended at the `App.svelte` level (or uses a portal pattern) so it isn't clipped by any `overflow: hidden` containers. If the menu would extend beyond the window edge, it flips direction (e.g. opens leftward or upward).
+
+### Component: `TimelineContextMenu.svelte`
+
+Props:
+- `x: number` — screen X position
+- `y: number` — screen Y position
+- `time: number` — the timeline time at the right-click position
+- `selectedClipId: string | null` — to determine which items are enabled/hidden
+- `onAction: (action: ContextMenuAction) => void` — callback for menu item selection
+- `onClose: () => void` — callback to close the menu
+
+Actions (discriminated union):
+```typescript
+type ContextMenuAction =
+  | { type: 'mark-in' }
+  | { type: 'mark-out' }
+  | { type: 'go-to-clip-start' }
+  | { type: 'go-to-clip-end' }
+  | { type: 'delete-clip' };
+```
+
+### Styling
+
+- Dark theme matching the app's existing style (dark background, light text, hover highlights).
+- Subtle border/shadow to float above the timeline.
+- Disabled items: dimmed text, no hover effect, not clickable.
+- Separators: thin horizontal lines using `var(--border)`.
+
+### Implementation Notes
+
+- `Timeline.svelte` adds an `oncontextmenu` handler on the canvas element.
+- The handler computes the time from the click X coordinate (using existing `computeClickTime`), seeks the playhead, and emits an event / sets state to show the context menu.
+- The context menu component is rendered conditionally in `Timeline.svelte` (or `App.svelte` if clipping is an issue).
+- Keyboard shortcut hints can optionally be shown in the menu items (e.g. "Mark In  I") for discoverability.
+
+---
+
+## Version Bump
+
+Execute `scripts/bump-version.sh` after incrementing `VERSION`.
+
+Confirm all locations updated from `0.1.2` → `0.1.3`:
+- `package.json` — `version` field
+- `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json` — `version` field
+- `src-tauri/Cargo.toml` — `version` field
+- `grep`/`find` for remaining `0.1.2` references, fix any, and add to `scripts/bump-version.sh`
+
+---
+
+## Scope Boundaries
+
+- No changes to the backend (Rust). All three features are purely frontend.
+- No changes to clip store logic — existing `markInPoint`, `markOutPoint`, `removeClip`, `selectClip` functions are reused as-is.
+- No new dependencies.
+- The context menu does NOT appear on the minimap — only on the main timeline canvas.
