Dragging across a chart to zoom into that span existed only on the logs histogram, in that page's own code. This makes it part of the linked cursor, so any group of charts that already shares a hover cursor can opt in.

What changes

  • Drag across a time chart to zoom. A drag paints a band on every chart in the group and labels the span ("1:32 PM to 4:39 PM · 3h 7m"). On release the page opens that span as its window. The navigation is a push, so the browser's Back returns to the window the drag started in.
  • Where it is on: service detail (the four golden-signal charts), release detail, Overview and host detail. Each opts in with MountLinkedZoom and one SelectedChartRange handler; zoomSearchPatch in the page kit turns the span into the URL's bounds (whole seconds, at least a minute, preset cleared).
  • How it works. The chart writes its time scale on its plot anchor (data-chart-time-axis), so the drag turns pixels into times in the DOM. Nothing reaches the Model until release, the same way the cursor already avoids a Message per pointer move.
  • Details. A press that moves under 5px stays a click. Escape cancels. Touch still scrolls. A press on a control or on what a page lays over the plot (deploy markers) does not start a drag. The chart's own cursor and tooltip step aside while the band is up, and the click that follows a release is swallowed so it does not land on a legend or marker.
  • The overlay's cursor line and the band are now two children of the overlay, so the hovered chart can hide its line and still show the band. Groups on MountLinkedCursor (the integration pages, the Kubernetes service page) behave as before.

Not in this PR

  • The integration pages and the Kubernetes service page still use the cursor without zoom. Each needs the same two lines against its own time search.
  • The logs histogram keeps its bucket-snapped brush.

Verified

  • New unit tests: the time axis round trip and pixel mapping (plot-time-axis.test.ts), drag direction, clamping and the label (linked-cursor.test.ts), the URL patch (chart-zoom.test.ts), and a scene test each for service detail and Overview asserting the navigation a drag causes.
  • bunx vitest run src/charts in packages/views: 138 passed. In apps/web: src/page/services/detail src/page/overview src/page/releases/detail src/page/infra/hosts/detail src/page/kit/chart-zoom.test.ts src/update.audience.test.ts src/lab: 291 passed.
  • bun run --filter=@maple/web typecheck and --filter=@maple/local-ui typecheck, bunx oxlint -c .oxlintrc.effect.json --quiet on every changed file, bun run ui:index, bun run ui:patterns:check: clean.
  • Driven in a real browser with Playwright on /lab/bench/service-detail: press, drag, release. The label read the dragged span and all four charts re-rendered on it. The bench now narrows its rows on a drag so the lab shows the whole gesture.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Drag across time-series charts to select a time range and zoom into it across overview, host, service, and release pages.
    • Selected ranges update the page’s time window and clear any active time preset. Navigation preserves the ability to return to the previous window.
    • Zoom selections display the chosen span and duration.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for chart range selection, time-window navigation, and zoom behavior.

…at span

Drag to zoom existed only on the logs histogram, in that page's own code.
It is now part of the linked cursor: a drag across any time chart in a
group paints a band on every sibling, labels the span, and on release the
page opens that span as its window. The navigation is a push, so Back
returns to the window the drag started in.

The chart writes its time scale on its plot anchor, so the drag turns
pixels into times in the DOM and no Message is sent until release. A
press that moves under 5px stays a click, Escape cancels, touch still
scrolls, and the chart's own tooltip steps aside while the band is up.

Service detail, release detail, Overview and host detail opt in with
MountLinkedZoom and one handler. Groups on MountLinkedCursor are unchanged.

Maple review

🟢 Confidence 9/10 · safe to merge. The pixel→time→URL math is pinned and consistent across the four pages; only the DOM gesture (threshold, Escape, click swallow) has no test.
1 note · tests partial −1 · risk medium

Makes drag-to-zoom part of the linked cursor: a drag paints a band on the whole group and a push navigation opens that span. The pixel-to-time mapping and the URL patch agree, and all four pages push, so it is safe to merge.

  • MountLinkedZoom paints a band across a group's charts and reports the span on release
  • zoomSearchPatch turns the span into absolute URL bounds, preset cleared
  • Service detail, release detail, Overview and host detail opt in
  • The overlay splits its cursor line and zoom band into separate children

Walkthrough

Charts now support drag-based time-range selection. Page views convert selected ranges into URL search windows, while the chart bench stores the range and filters service-detail rows when zoom is active.

Changes: Linked chart zoom

Layer / File(s) Summary
Time-axis mapping and chart metadata
packages/views/src/charts/plot-time-axis.ts, packages/views/src/charts/chart-mounts.ts, packages/views/src/charts/plot-time-axis.test.ts
Charts encode time-axis bounds and pixel positions on plot anchors. The new helpers decode the axis and map plot positions to times within the domain.
Drag selection and linked overlay
packages/views/src/charts/linked-cursor.ts, packages/views/src/charts/linked-cursor.test.ts
Linked chart handling supports drag selection, displays a zoom band and duration label, and emits selected ranges. Cursor-line visibility is handled separately from the overlay.
Page wiring and URL search updates
apps/web/src/page/kit/chart-zoom.ts, apps/web/src/page/kit/chart-zoom.test.ts, apps/web/src/page/kit/service-metrics/grid.ts, apps/web/src/page/infra/hosts/detail/*, apps/web/src/page/overview/*, apps/web/src/page/releases/detail/*, apps/web/src/page/services/detail/*, apps/web/src/update.audience.test.ts, packages/views/src/ui/INDEX.md
Page charts mount linked zoom with a time zone and route selected ranges through page messages. Search patches round bounds to whole seconds, enforce a one-minute minimum, and clear the time preset. Page handlers navigate with the updated search.
Bench zoom state and row filtering
apps/web/src/lab/bench/chart-bench.ts, apps/web/src/lab/bench/service-detail-bench.ts
The chart bench stores selected bounds. The service-detail bench filters rows to the inclusive zoom range when zoom is active.

Drag-to-zoom can leave a stale selection band, and chart tooltips stay suppressed, if the browser drops the mouse-release event, for example after a window switch. Pressing Escape clears it. Reconciling the button state on the next pointer move would close this gap, which is low-impact and recoverable, so the change is mergeable with that follow-up.

Explanation

The title "feat(charts): drag across a linked chart group to zoom its page to that span" matches the main change. The changeset adds drag-to-zoom to linked chart groups (linked-cursor.ts, MountLinkedZoom, SelectedChartRange), and pages such as service detail, Overview, release detail, and host detail use it to navigate to the selected time span via zoomSearchPatch. The title is concise, specific, and follows a conventional-commit style.

Reconcile a moved drag with the button state on the next move.

If a pointerup or pointercancel is not delivered, for example after a window switch, state.drag stays set with moved: true. Moves without a pressed button then keep painting the zoom band. The chart also stops receiving pointer events until a drag ends. A new press does not clear the stale band. Only Escape or a completed moved drag clears it.

Check the button state in onDragMove and cancel the stale drag before painting:
