Walkthrough

The changes update the changelog to document a UI fix for the visibility of Cancel and Continue buttons on small screens in the Start/Join Room dialog. In the RoomJoinButton component, the form structure and dialog footer are refactored: the form is given an explicit ID, and buttons are moved to a named footer slot and linked to the form via the form attribute.

Changes

resources/js/components/RoomJoinButton.vue	Refactored form structure: assigned an explicit form ID, moved buttons to a named footer slot, and linked the submit button to the form via the form attribute.

🔇 Additional comments (4)

resources/js/components/RoomJoinButton.vue (2)

44-44: Good practice: Explicit form ID assignment.

Adding an explicit ID to the form enables proper linking with external submit buttons, which is essential for the footer restructuring.

---

155-175: Excellent UX improvement: Footer slot implementation.

The restructuring effectively addresses the visibility issue by:

• Moving buttons to a dedicated footer slot that remains visible
• Maintaining form submission functionality via the form attribute
• Following Vue.js best practices for dialog structure

This ensures Cancel and Continue buttons are always accessible on small screens without requiring scrolling.

CHANGELOG.md (2)

10-13: Clear and accurate changelog entry.

The changelog entry properly documents the UX fix with appropriate categorization under "Fixed" and includes the correct PR reference.

---

529-529: Consistent reference linking.

The PR reference link follows the project's established pattern for changelog references.
