The news feed leads with a story, and the transaction filter leaves the list

[SirYakoob]

Two phone surfaces that were still showing their desktop shape.

Crypto News: the grid could not fit a headline

On a phone the news grid resolved to two 181px columns, which left a 16px headline 147px of line against a 62-character median headline. Nearly every card was truncated, and thirty articles spent 4,248px of grid to say very little. It also put a search field first, above the news.

The narrow presentation now leads with the hero story and follows it with one digest panel: the same DashboardScrollContainer every other list page uses, holding the search field, a story count and each remaining article as a 72px-thumbnail row with a two-line headline and a one-line dek. The separate "Next up" band is gone, since its three stories are just the first three rows. The wide presentation is byte-identical.

Two smaller header corrections while it was open:

• The refresh button now renders on desktop only. It exists because pull-to-refresh is unreachable with a mouse, and that reason only holds where there is a mouse. On a phone RefreshIndicator is already mounted over the same feed, so the glyph was a second door into a room that has one - and its 40px tap target, not the 32px title, was what set the header row's height. The header goes 56 to 48.
• The freshness stamp moves down 1px. GWPageHeader centres its trailing by line box, and a line box is not where the letters are. Inter's proportional leading puts the 24/32 title's ink at 7.93..30.61 and the 14/20 stamp's at 11.49..25.03, so the stamp read a pixel high.

Transactions: nine filters, four of them reachable

The phone page inherited the dashboard panel's filter bar - four icon-only chips with the other five filters behind an overflow menu, and no labels anywhere, because a chip that grows on tap shoves its neighbours sideways. It cost a 44px row plus its gap, the filter names lived in a Tooltip a finger cannot open, and a filter chosen from the menu left no mark on the page: the list read as unfiltered while showing part of itself.

The trigger is now a funnel in GWPageHeader.trailing, the slot Crypto News already fills, so it costs the page no vertical space at all. It opens the app's own ResponsiveDrawer with a GWSelectRow per filter, each carrying the badge mark its rows already use and its live count, so all nine filters and All are one gesture away and every one is named. A live filter tints the trigger and adds a dismissible chip row above the list carrying the filter's name and 3 of 10 - the count Assets prints and this page never had.

Icons.filter_alt_outlined rather than Icons.tune: tune is already Swap's settings glyph, and the funnel is already this screen's own filtered-empty mark, so anything else would make the trigger disagree with the empty state it produces.

The page's filter moved from TransactionsSlimView's State up to TransactionsScreen, because the trigger that sets it sits two widgets above the list. Both pass-throughs take it as an optional parameter, so the dashboard panel keeps its own internal filter and its call sites are unchanged.

Three corrections from reviewing it on device:

• The page title sat 8px lower than every other page title, and the list 16px lower, because a 48x48 IconButton in the header sets that row's height against the 32px title line. The trigger is 48x32 now and the page measures 48/0/48, identical to Assets.
• The phone background drops GWMeshBackground for the flat surfaceBase that Assets and Crypto News paint. Both resolve to #0B0D12 dark, #DCE0E6 light.
• "No more transactions" is gone.

check_agent_rules_sync is red, and it was red before this branch touched anything: the drift is between AGENTS.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md, in prose about the lazy-developer ladder. Neither file is modified here. Left for whoever owns that sync rather than folded into a UI PR.

Test count moved 1207 to 1203 across the two feature commits and is accounted for exactly: a 14-test group asserting the old filter bar became a 9-test group asserting the new control, the drawer-padding census gained one, three end-of-list tests folded to two cap tests, and one header-geometry test was added. One assertion has no successor and was deleted rather than replaced with something invented: it measured the font size of the terminus label, and the label no longer exists.

Header geometry and drawer heights in this description are measured in widget tests against really-pumped screens, not estimated. phone: the page title sits exactly where Assets puts its own pumps TransactionsScreen and AssetsScreen in one test and compares them directly, so a change that moves both together still fails.

Deliberately not here

• The filter drawer will be full-screen height on a phone, leaving roughly 180px empty below the last row. Every mobile ResponsiveDrawer does this whatever it holds - _ResponsiveDrawerScaffold returns a Scaffold, which takes constraints.biggest. Measured: a drawer whose entire body is Text('one line') reports Size(390, 844). Pre-existing and app-wide; fixing it means a maxHeight on the component and about 19 call sites to re-check, which is its own PR.
• _TransactionFilterBar and _FilterChip are now dead code, roughly 200 lines. Deleting the narrow page's filter row removed their only live call site: _panel runs only when page == false, so its widget.page ? bar : GWViewAllLink ternary has always taken the link arm since the 2026-08-07 merge. They are kept here because removing them is a separate decision, and the dead arm keeps them referenced so no analyzer suppression is needed.
• The trigger's tap target is 48x32, down from 48x48. 32 on the short side clears WCAG 2.2 SC 2.5.8's 24x24 conformance floor and 48dp Android horizontally, but it is under Apple's 44pt recommendation vertically. That is the price of the title landing level with every other page title, and it was chosen knowingly. The alternative - teaching GWPageHeader to absorb a tall trailing into its own bottom gap - changes a component shared with Buy GNUS and Swap.
• Filters still mixes two orthogonal axes. Seven types and two statuses in one enum with single-value selection, so choosing Pending un-chooses Sent and "my failed sends" is not a question this control can ask. Sketch 191 measured it (Failed alone returns 2 rows, Sent + Failed returns 1) and sketch 191-F7 is the design for it. A model change, not a filter treatment.
• Mint's glyph is the odd one out. It is the only filter whose mark is not a Material icon but a stroked SVG asset at stroke-width 3.2, so it reads heavier than everything beside it at any size. True in the shipped app; recorded in sketch 193 rather than fixed silently.
• The "Updated" stamp can lie. _load stamps on whenComplete while the API returns its cache untouched for two minutes, so a refresh inside that window reads "Updated now" having fetched nothing. Sketch 194 finding 3, unfixed here.

Base branch

Stacked on redesign/assets-boxed-panels-260808 (PR #230), which is itself on redesign/row-rhythm-260808 (PR #227). Basing on develop instead would put roughly fifty commits already under review into this diff. Retarget once the parents land.
