# TASK (Codex): make Darwin chat full-bleed like Odysseus
2

File to edit: `/shared/projects/darwin/face/src/app/page.tsx`

## Problem
6
Zion's complaint: the chat "stays boxed and squared up" and does not fill the screen,
7
while the older Odysseus cockpit lets chat fill the width. The chat component (AskBox) is
8
already fluid (`w-full`). The boxing comes from the DESKTOP surface container in page.tsx:
9
1. A wrapper caps the whole surface at `max-w-screen-xl` and centers it (`mx-auto`).
10
2. A grid wedges the chat (AskBox, the center `1fr` column) between a 320px AgentTree pane
11
   and a 320px HitsInbox pane, so chat only gets the squeezed leftover middle strip.
12
 
13
## Make EXACTLY these changes (layout only - do NOT touch colors, fonts, or logic)
14
1. Find the DesktopSurface wrapper `<div className="max-w-screen-xl mx-auto">` (around line 324).
15
   Change its className: remove `max-w-screen-xl mx-auto`, replace with `w-full`.
16
   (Keep any other classes on that div intact.)
17
 
18
2. Find the grid `<div className="grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-[320px_1fr_320px] gap-5 min-h-[700px]">`
19
   (around line 334). Change the large-screen template:
20
   `lg:grid-cols-[320px_1fr_320px]`  ->  `lg:grid-cols-[280px_minmax(0,1fr)_280px]`
21
   The `minmax(0,1fr)` is important so the center chat column takes all remaining width and is
22
   never squeezed by its content. Keep `grid-cols-1` (mobile) and gap/min-h as-is.
23
 
24
3. In AskBox (the answer/message rendering, `src/components/surface/AskBox.tsx`): ensure the
25
   AI/assistant answer block fills the width (`w-full` / `max-w-full`). Mirror Odysseus's pattern:
26
   assistant/agent messages 100% width; only the USER's own message bubble is capped (~90%,
27
   right-aligned with `ml-auto`). If the assistant block is already `w-full`, leave it; only add the
28
   user-bubble cap if user messages are currently full-width too. Do not add fixed pixel max-widths
29
   to assistant messages.

## Constraints
32
- Layout/width only. No color/font/spacing redesign. No new dependencies.
33
- Preserve all existing functionality, props, and the mobile single-column path (around line 400) untouched.
34
- After editing, print the exact unified diff of every change you made.
