fix(browser): sending indicator on the report dialog - #193
While a report is uploading, the dialog's fields are disabled and dimmed, and the viewer's infinity-sign loader (track + travelling bar on the same lemniscate path, same timing, reduced-motion aware) is shown over them. The overlay is a role=status element labelled "Sending…" and is restylable through the bugsee-reporting-dialog-busy|infinity* classes/parts and the existing accent/field-border custom properties.
Tests: new test for the overlay (mutation-checked); @bugsee/browser 1373/1373, coverage gate passes.
Review of #193: sending indicator on the report dialog
I read the diff together with setBusy, submit, closeDialog, requestCancel, the hook/make helpers and the card/confirm styles. I did not run tests, lint or typecheck. The "1373/1373" and coverage figures in the PR description are the author's, not mine.
Findings: none that I'd call real. I found no P0–P2 issues and have no inline comments.
What I checked:
Busy lifecycle:setBusy(true) is only called from submit(). Every path out of it (resolved, rejected, synchronous throw) ends in closeDialog, so the overlay can't get stuck on screen. requestCancel already returns early while busy, so Escape and the close button stay inert behind the cover.
Layering:.card is position: relative; overflow: hidden. The overlay is appended after confirm with inset: 0, so it covers the whole card, including the bar and footer. It also swallows pointer events, which is what you want during a send. .busy[hidden] { display: none; } is needed because display: flex would otherwise override hidden, and it's there.
Loader geometry:pathLength=100 with stroke-dasharray: 25 75 and a -100 offset gives a seamless loop on the closed path. The track and bar share the same d. The SVG is built with createElementNS, and pathLength keeps its case through setAttribute on an SVG element.
Theming and i18n: the colours reuse the existing accent and field-border custom properties. The label uses the existing strings.sending, so it is localised along with the send button.
Non-blocking observations (P3, not blockers):
packages/browser/src/report-dialog.ts (the overlay's role: 'status' with hidden): some screen readers don't reliably announce a live region that goes from display: none to visible. The label sits in aria-label and no text content changes. The send button's aria-label also changes, but that button is disabled at the same moment. If a reliable announcement matters, put the "Sending…" text in a visually hidden child, or in a persistent live region whose text you update. This is not a regression, because the old behaviour had no announcement at all.
report-dialog-styles.ts (reduced-motion): under prefers-reduced-motion the bar still animates, only slower (4s instead of 1.6s). That matches the PR's "reduced-motion aware" wording and the viewer's behaviour. If you want strict reduced-motion compliance, use a static or pulsing indicator instead.
The loader is drawn in accent over fields dimmed to 0.45 opacity, with no scrim behind it. Contrast depends on the theme the host page supplies. A cosmetic check with a light and a dark theme is enough.
Tests: the new test covers the hidden → visible transition, the role and aria-label, the data-busy attribute on the card, and that the track and bar paths share d. It does not assert the overlay is hidden again after the upload resolves, but closeDialog removes the host at that point, so that is fine.
Summary
Overall risk: Low. The change is confined to the dialog's presentation layer, and the busy and close logic it hooks into is unchanged.
Merge recommendation: Approve and merge. The P3 notes above are optional follow-ups.
Most important issues to fix: none. If you pick up one item, make it the live-region announcement.
Positives:
The overlay is restylable through bugsee-reporting-dialog-busy|infinity* classes and parts, in line with the rest of the dialog's styling hooks.
It reuses existing tokens and strings instead of adding new ones.
It is a small, self-contained diff with a test.
· branch fix/report-dialog-sending-indicator
Report submissions display a “Sending…” progress indicator while an upload is in progress. The form is visually dimmed, and its footer controls are inactive until sending finishes.
The progress indicator provides status text for assistive technology, and its animation respects reduced-motion preferences.
The report dialog now shows an animated infinity loader while a report is sending. The form’s busy state controls the overlay’s visibility and dims the dialog’s bar, body, and footer. The overlay has status semantics and a “Sending…” label. The added test checks its initial and sending states, including the SVG paths and the form’s busy marker.

Deep review
This PR dims the report card and shows the viewer-style infinity loader while prepared.send() is in flight. I read setBusy / submit / closeDialog / requestCancel, the discard-confirm overlay (same absolute-inset pattern), prepareUpload().discard(), the existing sending tests, and the Chromium e2e suite. I ran pnpm --filter @bugsee/browser exec vitest run src/report-dialog.test.ts (87/87). CI lint/typecheck/coverage/e2e is green.
Busy lifecycle is sound: setBusy(true) is only called from submit(), and every send completion path (fulfill, reject, sync throw) tears the host down via closeDialog. The overlay is a sibling of bar/body/footer, so dimming those sections does not dim the loader. pathLength="100" with stroke-dasharray: 25 75 and stroke-dashoffset: -100 is a closed loop.
Findings
P2 — status region will not announce in major screen readers (report-dialog.ts ~702)
The overlay is role=status with aria-label and an aria-hidden SVG. Live regions are announced from text content, not the accessible name (NVDA/JAWS). This file already does it correctly for field errors (aria-live="polite" + textContent). Enter-in-the-last-field (documented) disables the focused control; the send button's aria-label change is not a live region. A replay-sized upload leaves an AT user in a frozen dialog whose first Escape is swallowed.
P3 — reduced-motion still runs a continuous travelling bar (report-dialog-styles.ts ~312) prefers-reduced-motion: reduce only changes 1.6s → 4s. Twenty lines later, card-entry animation is gated on no-preference (fully off).
CodeRabbit's footer-link note is real and I am not duplicating it: setBusy disables fields/send/close but not the display:contents powered-by <a>. The new overlay blocks pointer activation; Tab can still open bugsee.com. P3.
Residual, pre-existing, not introduced here: a native dialogclose (Chrome's non-cancellable second Escape) still runs closeDialog(null) during send. The launcher resolves null and AfterReportShown gets sent: false while sendUpload continues (discard() only sets spent).
Tests
The new unit test covers hidden → visible, role/aria-label, data-busy, and shared path d. It cannot see layout, stacking, or announcement. report-dialog.e2e.ts exists because jsdom cannot answer those questions for this dialog; this overlay has no Chromium coverage.
Overall risk: Low — presentation-only; send/cancel/upload logic is unchanged.
Merge recommendation: Request changes for the P2 (small fix).
Most important to fix: Put the sending string in a visually hidden child of the status overlay (and set aria-busy on the card). Optionally pause the infinity animation under prefers-reduced-motion: reduce.
Positives: Same cover pattern as the discard confirm; restyle hooks match D8; reuses accent / field-border / strings.sending; overlay is pre-built (unhide, not innerHTML); no XSS surface.

P2 — this status region will not announce in NVDA/JAWS.
role="status" is the right role, but live-region engines announce inner text, not aria-label. The only child is an aria-hidden SVG, so the accessible name is "Sending…" and the announced content is empty.
This file already has the working pattern on field errors: aria-live="polite" plus error.textContent = message (report-dialog.ts around the setError / addField path). The send button's aria-label swap is not a live region, and it does not help the documented Enter-in-last-field path, which disables the focused control.
Impact: A session/replay upload can take long enough that this overlay is the whole point of the PR. A screen-reader user gets a frozen, non-dismissable dialog (first Escape is ignored while busy) with no spoken "Sending…".
Fix: Add a visually hidden text node (reuse the existing clip/label hiding rules under a busy-text class) as a child of this overlay:
Also set aria-busy on the card in setBusy. Unhiding an already-labelled live region is less reliable than a text-content change; putting the string in the tree is the piece that actually gets announced.
…tion under reduced-motion
- live region carries visually hidden text (screen readers read text, not aria-label); card gets aria-busy
- powered-by link is inert while sending
- prefers-reduced-motion: the loader bar is static
- test asserts the dimming/reduced-motion rules

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WeiJxSMPCqs6TBDKuGw9TG
Live region (cursor P2, claude P3): the overlay now has a visually hidden "Sending…" text child, and the card gets aria-busy.
Reduced motion (cursor P3, claude P3):animation: none under prefers-reduced-motion: reduce, matching the card entry.
Powered-by link (CodeRabbit, cursor P3): the footer row is inert while sending.
Dimming test (CodeRabbit): the test now asserts the dim, inert, aria-busy and reduced-motion rules. jsdom doesn't cascade shadow-root styles, so the dim and reduced-motion assertions check the stylesheet text.
Not changed: the native dialogclose during a send is pre-existing and out of scope for this PR. It deserves its own issue.
I read the full diff, the new test, the styles and the setBusy / submit / closeDialog lifecycle. I did not run tests, lint or typecheck.
Earlier findings, now fixed by 7214d6b3:
Live-region text: the overlay now contains a visually hidden busy-text span, so the "Sending…" string is in the tree and not only in aria-label.
Footer link: the footer row gets inert while sending, so Tab can't reach the powered-by link.
Reduced motion: the bar now has animation: none, matching the card-entry rule.
Dimming test: the test now checks the dimming selectors and the opacity rule. It reads the stylesheet text, because jsdom doesn't cascade shadow-root styles.
New finding (inline comment):
P2: aria-busy on the form wraps the live region (report-dialog.ts:274). The form is an ancestor of the role=status overlay. Setting aria-busy="true" on an ancestor can make assistive tech hold back announcements from that subtree. Chromium exposes it as container-busy on descendants, and NVDA/JAWS skip live-region events when an ancestor is busy. That could suppress the "Sending…" announcement added in the last commit, because the flag only clears when the host is removed. I haven't tested this with a real screen reader. The fix is to drop aria-busy, or move it to a sibling that doesn't contain the overlay. The test at report-dialog.test.ts:538 would need updating with the change.
Non-blocking (P3):
There is still no Chromium e2e coverage for the overlay's stacking or the inert footer. The unit test can't see layout or focus, and report-dialog.e2e.ts exists for questions like these.
Pre-existing, not introduced here: a native dialogclose event (Chrome's non-cancellable second Escape) still runs closeDialog(null) while a send is in flight.
Summary
Overall risk: Low. The change is presentation-only, and the send/cancel/upload logic is unchanged. Every send outcome ends in closeDialog, so the overlay can't stick.
Merge recommendation: Merge after addressing or consciously accepting the aria-busy placement.
Most important issue: the aria-busy placement above.
Positives:
The loader reuses the existing accent, field-border and strings.sending tokens.
The restyle hooks follow the dialog's bugsee-reporting-dialog-* class/part convention.
The overlay is built once and unhidden, with no innerHTML.
The latest commit closed all earlier review findings with matching tests.

The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Severity: P2 Medium (I have not verified this with a real screen reader)
Problem:aria-busy="true" is set on the form, and the role=status overlay with the announced "Sending…" text is a descendant of that form. aria-busy is meant to tell assistive tech to hold back changes inside the subtree until it clears. Chromium exposes it as container-busy on descendants, and NVDA/JAWS skip live-region events when an ancestor is busy.
Impact: The overlay is unhidden in the same tick that the busy flag is set, so the "Sending…" announcement may be suppressed. The flag only clears when closeDialog removes the whole host, so the announcement could be dropped entirely. That would undo the fix from the previous round.
Scenario: A screen-reader user presses Send. setBusy(true) sets aria-busy on the card and unhides the status region. The reader treats the live region as busy and says nothing, and the dialog stays frozen until the upload finishes.
Fix: Don't put aria-busy on an ancestor of the live region. Either drop it (the status text already carries the state), or set it on a sibling container, such as body/bar, that does not contain the overlay. Also consider making the status a persistent live region that is always rendered, with the text set when sending starts. Unhiding an element that already holds its content is less reliable than a text change. The test at report-dialog.test.ts:538 pins aria-busy on the card, so it would need updating with the fix.
