Adds widgetSetMaxWidth(widget, maxWidth) for responsive content columns: fill the available width below the cap, then remain centered at the cap as the window grows. Padding stays inside the capped width.

macOS uses an Auto Layout container to preserve each stack's alignment and the original widget's styling, including when the cap is applied after insertion. JavaScript and WebAssembly targets use CSS max-width and automatic side margins. Other backends accept a documented no-op, as permitted by the issue. Includes TypeScript declarations, the platform support matrix, and a usage example.

Fixes #10167.

Validation:

  • Native layout tests cover resizing, parent/content padding, cap updates, fixed-width replacement, hide/show, reparenting, clear/re-add, ScrollView, ZStack, and app-root placement. Existing widget ordering and padding tests pass.
  • Native, JavaScript, and WebAssembly codegen regressions pass.
  • cargo test -p perry-dispatch -p perry-ui -p perry-codegen-js -p perry-codegen-wasm -p perry-codegen-arkts passes.
  • Compiler and macOS feature checks, formatting, styling-matrix drift, file-size, Node-version consistency, and JavaScript syntax checks pass.
  • Browser visual testing was unavailable because no browser was connected. Cross-platform native backends were checked for exported symbols, not run on devices.

Summary by CodeRabbit

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds widgetSetMaxWidth(widget, maxWidth). It wires the operation through code generation and runtime dispatch, implements centered capped layouts on macOS and Web, exports no-op ABI stubs elsewhere, and adds tests and documentation.

Changes

Widget max-width support

Layer / File(s) Summary
API and code-generation wiring
types/perry/ui/index.d.ts, crates/perry-dispatch/..., crates/perry-codegen-*, crates/perry-codegen/tests/*
Adds the public API, dispatch entries, JavaScript and WebAssembly runtime mappings, HarmonyOS no-op handling, and code-generation tests.
macOS max-width layout integration
crates/perry-ui-macos/src/widgets/*, crates/perry-ui-macos/src/lib_ffi/core_widgets.rs, crates/perry-ui-macos/src/app.rs
Adds MaxWidthView and Auto Layout constraints. Widget and container operations now distinguish layout wrappers from content views. Fixed width clears an existing max-width cap.
Platform coverage and validation
crates/perry-ui-{android,gtk4,ios,tvos,visionos,watchos,windows}/*, crates/perry-ui-macos/Cargo.toml, crates/perry-ui-macos/tests/*
Exports no-op ABI stubs on unsupported backends. Adds the styling parity entry and macOS tests for clamping, centering, invalid values, fixed-width replacement, insets, visibility, and reparenting.
Documentation and release metadata
docs/src/ui/*, changelog.d/*, CLAUDE.md, Cargo.toml
Documents API behavior and platform support, adds the changelog entry, and updates the workspace version to 0.5.1566.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7d241

The new responsive max-width API works for the primary widget/window-body case, but on macOS a widget with a max-width cap can silently lose its cap-and-center behavior when it is also used as a window's content view, a sheet body, a tooltip's content, or a lazy-list/table row or cell, because those paths still fetch the unwrapped inner view instead of the capped layout wrapper. This should be fixed before merge to avoid inconsistent behavior when the new API is combined with these other macOS widgets.

Use get_layout_widget in window_set_body.

After set_max_width, get_widget returns the content view. The capped layout is installed in the MaxWidthView wrapper returned by get_layout_widget. Installing the content view directly bypasses the cap and centering for window bodies. Match app_set_body and use get_layout_widget(widget_handle) here.

Preserve the MaxWidthView wrapper when attaching widget views.

When widgetSetMaxWidth is applied, get_widget returns the inner content view. The sheet body, rich-tooltip content, and lazy-vstack/table row callbacks then pass that view to setContentView, addSubview, or AppKit row hosting. AppKit moves the content out of its MaxWidthView, leaving the wrapper registered without its content and disabling the cap and centering. Use get_layout_widget for these inserted views. Keep rich-tooltip host lookups on get_widget.

No max-width for widgets: expose widgetSetMaxWidth (AppKit already supports it via <= constraints)
