📚 Description

Note

@erduotong mentioned on the issue that they intended to open a PR — I left a comment there to coordinate. Happy to close this in favour of theirs.

The indicator slot is absolute start-0 w-32, so it sits out of flow and occupies the leftmost 8rem, while container is mx-auto max-w-2xl and centers across the full root width without reserving that gutter.

The centered start offset is (W - CW) / 2, so it only clears the 8rem gutter once the root is at least 928px wide with the default max-w-2xl. Because lg: is a viewport breakpoint, any layout with sidebars trips this easily — the viewport is >= 1024px while the component itself is only ~700–800px — and the timeline runs under the version date and title.

This is also why the docs examples and the releases page all pass a narrower ui.container (max-w-lg / max-w-xl) as a workaround.

Fix

Clamp the container at lg, gated on a new indicator variant so indicator: false keeps the full width:

indicator: {
  true: {
    container: 'lg:w-[calc(100%-16rem)]'
  }
}

16rem is the 8rem gutter mirrored on both sides, because mx-auto splits freed space evenly — reserving only 8rem would shift the box by just 4rem and still overlap by 4rem. Mirroring it also means centering is preserved exactly, for any container width.

w- rather than max-w- is deliberate: max-w-2xl stays the binding cap when there is room, and a user override such as ui.container: 'max-w-4xl' still wins, since max-width beats width. Nothing is hardcoded to 42rem, so custom container widths keep working.

Measurements

Container position relative to the root, with the indicator ending at 128px:

root width before after
700px left 14pxoverlaps left 128px, width 444
820px left 74pxoverlaps left 128px, width 564
928px left 128px, width 672 identical
1200px left 264px, width 672 identical

The fix is inert whenever there is enough room, so existing layouts (including the releases page and the sticky-indicator example, which relies on me-0 right-alignment) are unchanged.

Snapshots updated; renders without indicator correctly correctly has no clamp.

The `indicator` slot is `absolute start-0 w-32`, so it sits out of flow and
occupies the leftmost 8rem, while `container` is `mx-auto max-w-2xl` and
centers across the full root width without reserving that gutter. The
centered start offset is `(W - CW) / 2`, so it only clears the gutter once
the root is at least 928px wide with the default `max-w-2xl`. Because `lg:`
is a viewport breakpoint, a layout with sidebars trips this easily: the
viewport is >= 1024px while the component itself is only ~700-800px, and the
timeline runs under the version date and title.

Clamp the container to `calc(100% - 16rem)` at `lg`, gated on a new
`indicator` variant so `indicator: false` keeps the full width. 16rem is the
8rem gutter mirrored on both sides, since `mx-auto` splits freed space
evenly; reserving only 8rem would shift the box by 4rem and still overlap.
Using `w-` instead of `max-w-` keeps `max-w-2xl` as the binding cap when
there is room and lets a `ui.container` override still win, since
`max-width` beats `width`.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changelog version component now enables its indicator UI state when the indicator prop or slot is present. The changelog version theme updates the indicator.true variant to keep the large-screen container at least 50% wide while reserving space for the indicator.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to aaabb

The layout fix does not cover every supported indicator configuration, so version dates and titles can still overlap the timeline; merge should wait until the gutter behavior is propagated or that configuration is otherwise handled.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Pass the parent indicator-slot state to child versions.

When ChangelogVersions receives indicator: false with an indicator slot, it still renders the absolute indicator. Its child binding passes only !!props.indicator, and the parent slot is not forwarded to UChangelogVersion. The child therefore evaluates Line 103 as false and does not apply indicator.true; the content can overlap the rendered indicator.

Pass the combined state to each child and add a regression case for indicator: false plus an indicator slot. This follows the supplied src/runtime/components/ChangelogVersions.vue:81-100 context.

Proposed parent binding fix
        <UChangelogVersion
-          :indicator="!!props.indicator"
+          :indicator="!!props.indicator || !!slots.indicator"

commit: aaabb21

`calc(100% - 16rem)` resolves negative once the root is narrower than the
reservation itself, and CSS clamps a negative width to `0`, so the container
collapsed and the content disappeared on roots under 256px. Floor it at 50%
of the root so the container degrades gracefully instead.

The floor only binds below a 512px root, where the 8rem indicator gutter
cannot fit anyway; from 512px up the reservation is unchanged.
