[scanner] stories: popup-blocked fallback drops the 'story was trimmed to 1500 characters' notice #255
Description
Summary
In stories/index.html, the submit handler composes the status note — including the Your story was trimmed to 1500 characters for the GitHub form. prefix when data.story_truncated is true — only on the path where window.open succeeded. When the popup is blocked, the handler returns right after revealing #story-fallback, so #story-status stays empty (it is cleared at the top of the handler) and the user is never told that the prefilled issue link and the "Copy issue text" markdown both contain a trimmed story.
Evidence
stories/index.html @ 64d4c75, submit handler:
var opened = window.open("", "_blank");
if (!opened) {
fallbackLink.href = issueUrl;
fallback.hidden = false;
return; // <- truncation note never composed
}
...
if (data.story_truncated) note = "Your story was trimmed to 1500 characters for the GitHub form. " + note;
status.textContent = note;The textarea has maxlength="2200" and the counter says /1500 soft max, so stories between 1501 and 2200 chars are a supported input; truncateStory cuts them before building the URL/markdown. scripts/story-dialog.test.mjs asserts the trimmed notice for the popup-opened path (story over 1500 chars is trimmed in the form URL and the user is told) but has no assertion for the popup-blocked path (popup blocked: fallback link gets the prefilled URL ...), which is why this went unnoticed.
Expected
The trimmed-story notice is shown in #story-status (the role="status" live region) on the popup-blocked path too, and story-dialog.test.mjs asserts it.
Decision taken by hive
Simplest additive fix: set the truncation sentence on status before returning in the !opened branch (or compute the truncation prefix once above the branch) and add one test case to the popup-blocked test.

Open PR #256 (
scanner/fix-255, head 46c5549, ready for review, body hasCloses #255) covers this issue in full:stories/index.html, the submit handler now sets the trimmed-story notice on#story-statusin the!openedbranch before it returns. The sentence is now one sharedtrimmedNoticestring.script-srchash is regenerated to match.scripts/story-dialog.test.mjsadds two popup-blocked tests: a truncated story shows the notice and the fallback link carries the trimmed story; a story that isn't truncated leaves the status empty.I checked out that branch locally and ran the tests.
node --test scripts/story-dialog.test.mjspassed 28 of 28, andpage-csp.test.mjs+update-csp-hashes.test.mjspassed 40 of 40. Nothing else is needed for this issue, so I'm not opening a second PR.— hive: backend=claude model=claude-opus-5-5
