Recovery of Lost Uncommitted Changes

Date: 2026-08-27 Task: Restore working directory state after an overzealous git reset --hard that removed both the score ratio badge feature AND valuable uncommitted card UI polish work.

Context

During the score ratio badge brainstorming session, the user decided to remove that feature. A git reset --hard was used but it also wiped uncommitted changes to content/styles/cards.css (278 lines) and content/tweaks/cards.js (93 lines) that contained extensive card UI improvements from the fonts session (c6ee4c29).

Recovery Process

  1. Analyzed all agent transcripts in /agent-transcripts/ to find Write/StrReplace operations
  2. Initially recovered partial state from transcript 85d33c47 (card density, dark mode fixes)
  3. User reported this was insufficient — missing voting pill, rank badge, theme, and layout changes
  4. Found the bulk of missing work in transcript c6ee4c29 (fonts session) — lines 78-227 contained extensive post-fonts card UI polishing
  5. Used a subagent to extract the final file state from c6ee4c29: base Write at line 185 + 11 subsequent StrReplace operations for CSS; Write at line 187 for JS
  6. Successfully reconstructed both files to their pre-reset state

Recovered Features (in cards.css)

  • Voting pill (.midcol) with capsule styling and border-radius per density
  • Rank badge watermark (.rt-rank-badge) anchored top-left
  • Custom selection system (rt-selected) replacing Reddit/RES classes
  • Voted pill tinting: orange for upvoted, purple for downvoted
  • Deselected pill dim (opacity: 0.45) / selected vibrant (opacity: 1)
  • Opposing arrow hue matching with reduced opacity
  • Dark mode variants for all selection/voted states
  • Bold post titles
  • Shadcn page backgrounds (light + dark)

Recovered Features (in cards.js)

  • Rank badge DOM repositioning with rt-rank-badge class
  • initSelection() — mousedown-based rt-selected class toggle
  • applyDensity() — density class management
  • Click-outside deselection

Final State

  • cards.css: 278 lines (+254/-22 vs committed)
  • cards.js: 93 lines (+33 vs committed)
  • Git status matches conversation-start state
