Midterms 2026 dashboard: forecast timelines, race readouts, engagement section - #5114
Conversation
…ight cards
Five changes to the /midterms-2026 hub:
- Governor tab gets a top-line summary ("10 of 19 races lean Democrat"),
rendered in a new absolutely-positioned header row shared with the chamber
tabs and legend so a wrapping summary never pushes the map down. Lean split
is >= 50%, matching the state tooltip so the two can't disagree.
- Both seat-distribution charts gain a median callout: a dot on the x-axis at
the median bin carrying an always-on VictoryTooltip. It hides while a bin is
hovered so it never stacks with the hover tooltip, and is suppressed entirely
when the median is exactly 0 (the EVEN bin already owns that spot). Hover
flyouts go to 90% opacity, the median's to 80%, both +1px padding-top and
~2px more gap between lines.
- Chamber control's pre-midterm baseline reads "Today:" instead of "Current:"
and drops its party colors for gray, so it reads as context rather than
competing with the live forecast above it. Also fixes an existing dark-mode
bug: those two spans hardcoded light-mode hexes with no dark variant.
- Community Insight cards carry their question title in a header strip, with
the comment as the visual hero and the author as a footer. Height is capped
rather than fixed, so short comments let the card shrink.
- Adds the Labor Hub's three engagement cards (contact / share / newsletter)
with midterms copy and its own Mailjet list. NewsletterSubscribeCard gained
an optional `copy` prop defaulting to its current English, so the Labor Hub
renders unchanged.
Median-marker note: Victory's voronoi handleMouseMove calls onActivated(new)
then onDeactivated(previous) back-to-back in the same tick, so an unconditional
onDeactivated handler silently undoes every activation. Guarded with a ref.

Cleanup: Preview Environment RemovedThe preview environment for this PR has been fully removed.

The hub's right panel showed only point-in-time numbers, so a reader couldn't tell whether "Democrats 86.3% to hold the House" was a sharp move or had been flat for months. The panel now shows three community-prediction timelines — House, Senate, and the four-way congressional outcome — covering ~18 months of history (333 aggregation points back to Jan 2025). No new fetching: getPostsWithCP already sets include_cp_history, so the history for #34484 was arriving and being discarded. - helpers/build_control_timelines.ts turns that history into ChoiceItem series, summing options per series. House = DD+RD / RR+DR and Senate = DD+DR / RR+RD, the same sums chamber_control_card.tsx uses, so each line's last point lands exactly on the percentage the cards showed (verified: 86.3/13.7, 37.3/62.7). Deliberately not built on generateChoiceItemsFromMultipleChoiceForecast, which routes through getAllOptionsHistory — that returns only the last entry of question.options when options_history is absent and would silently collapse a four-option question to one series. - Rendered with the shared GroupChart: individual lines, a dot pinned to each endpoint that tracks the cursor on hover, and no axes. Values live in the legend instead, showing the current figure at rest and the hovered point's figure while the cursor is in the plot. - GroupChart gains additive hideYAxis / hideXAxis props (both default false, so no existing call site changes). Its axis tick styles are set inline on the VictoryAxis and can't be reached via extraTheme, hence props rather than a theme override. hideXAxis makes permanent what the component already did while the cursor was active; pair it with showCursorLabel so the hovered date is the only x value ever shown. - The four congressional outcomes use MULTIPLE_CHOICE_COLOR_SCALE; two blues and two reds were indistinguishable as four lines. - Layout: one rule divides the map from the panel and runs the full card height, and the map column now carries the same padding as the panel so it's inset equally on all sides rather than butting against the rule. The snapshot cards (chamber_control_card, congress_outcome_card) are no longer rendered but are left in place unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…lized copy toast - Insight cards navigate in the current tab instead of opening a new one. Their corner glyph changes from the open-in-new-window arrow to a plain right arrow, which is what the link now actually does. - build_control_timelines resolves each timestamp's covering forecast window once with a monotonic cursor and shares the result across every series, replacing a history.find scan run per timestamp per series. Both sequences ascend, so this is a single pass rather than series x timestamps x history. Verified behavior-identical against the previous implementation: 3 charts x 7 sample indices x 8 series, plus timestamps, labels and forecaster counts — zero mismatches, zero nulls across 333 points. It assumes non-overlapping aggregation windows, which is how CP history is built; the tradeoff is noted in the helper's comment. - useCopyUrl accepts optional localized success/failure messages. It previously hardcoded an English success toast and dropped failures into console.error, so on the fully-translated midterms hub "Copy Link" showed English, and a denied clipboard write left the button looking broken. Both defaults are unchanged, so the other three callers behave exactly as before. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Removes the map's party legend. The balance-of-power panel's timeline legend already names both parties in the same hues with live values, so the card carried two legends for one colour scheme. Dropped on the tile map too, where that panel sits directly below. Moves the race readout into the corner the legend vacated, right-aligned, and gives the Senate tab one of its own: "13 of 23 races lean Republican · 3 too close to call". summarizeRaceLeans now also counts races within 10 points of even, in the same pass so the two figures can't contradict each other; the count deliberately overlaps the lean split rather than partitioning it, since a toss-up still leans one way. Alignment is passed per call site because the summary sets a text-align class on itself, which a wrapper could not override. Fits the timelines' y-axis to the plotted range instead of a fixed 0-100%. The machinery was already wired into GroupChart, but a carve-out discarded the computed domain for binary questions; binaryYZoom opts a chart out of that and minYSpan floors the result, since generateYDomain collapses to a +/-1pp window when a series is flat and would draw noise as movement. The two party series are exact complements, so their span tracks distance from 50/50 rather than how much the forecast moved: Senate tightens to ~[0.33, 0.67], Congressional Control to ~[0, 0.55], while House at 86/14 barely changes. Values themselves are untouched - the legend still reads 86.3/13.7 and 37.3/62.7. Restores the seat-distribution median callout at every median. Zero now has its own wording and takes the label's ink; without a branch it fell through to the Republican string as "R +0 seats" in red, which is why it had been suppressed. The Senate median is zero right now, so that callout had been missing entirely. Also brings the range toggle's active state in line with the Key Drivers toggle - blue-700 inverts across themes, which is what reads as dark-on-light - and folds in the earlier uncommitted panel work: text-sm titles and legends, the reclaimed right padding behind the hidden y-axis, the floating timeframe toggle, its clipping fix, and 2M as the default range.

GroupChart's internal zoom state only ever changed through the chart's own picker, so a parent that drives `zoom` from elsewhere never reached it. The midterms panel does exactly that: internal state sat at `defaultZoom` while the chart displayed 2M, and releasing control would have snapped the range back. A useEffect now mirrors the controlled value, matching the pattern the neighbouring `yDomainSource` state already uses. Uncontrolled behaviour and the onZoomChange callback are unchanged. `navigator.clipboard` is undefined outside a secure context, so reading `.writeText` off it threw synchronously, where the promise's catch could not see it — the click ended in an uncaught error and no toast, which reads as a broken button. useCopyUrl now checks for the API first and reports through the existing localized error path. The success and async-rejection paths are untouched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The map counted questions rather than races. "10 of 19 races lean Democrat"
reads as wrong to anyone who knows 36 governorships are up, and the states with
no question looked like no election was happening there.
Adds the missing races as data rather than forecasts. A race with no question
carries a rating instead: "D"/"R" where the seat is safe enough that a question
would not be interesting, null where it is genuinely in play and simply has not
been posted. Safe seats paint the spectrum endpoint and state their rating on
hover; unrated ones stay grey and say so. Neither is clickable — interactivity
now keys off `href` rather than the presence of a race, which also removes the
dead click a race whose question failed to load used to offer. The map reads 35
senate and 36 governor races, and `summarizeRaceLeans` counts safe seats for
their party, so `dem + rep` deliberately falls short of the total by the number
of unrated races.
The ratings are a judgement about each seat, not a forecast, and they render
publicly — both tables say so and name the four governorships held back as
unrated. When a question appears for one of these states, delete its row; the
fetch layer also drops any row whose state gained a real race, so a stale entry
degrades instead of duplicating.
Congressional Control took its four colors from the multiple-choice palette in
order, which painted the all-Republican outcome blue and the all-Democrat one
light blue. The two single-party outcomes now use the same party colors as the
Democrats and Republicans lines directly above them, and the two split outcomes
take the palette's hues furthest from red and blue — amber and teal.
The panel also replaced the snapshot card that used to link to question #34484,
leaving no route from the dashboard to it. The Congressional Control title is a
link again, via the shared getPostLink rather than this hub's hand-rolled
`/questions/${id}`, so it carries the slug.
Also guards the geographic map's hover test: `hovered?.abbr === abbr` compared
undefined to undefined for the five territories the topology carries but the
abbreviation map does not, rendering them permanently hovered.

Congressional Control listed its four outcomes in authored order, so finding the leading one meant reading all four percentages. They now sort by current probability, highest first. Sorted once on the latest value and then left alone: the legend's numbers still follow the cursor, but re-ranking them as it moves would swap rows under the pointer mid-read. The chart receives that array reversed, because graphs paint in array order and the leading series would otherwise be drawn first and crossed over by the rest. House and Senate keep Democrats then Republicans — ranking those would flip party order between two charts sitting one above the other. In light mode the toss-up fill is a warm grey-beige close enough to the uncontested grey that a genuinely balanced race read as an unforecast one. The grey now recedes to half opacity there, which separates the two. Dark mode already distinguished them and is untouched — which also closes the gap the comment above that constant already admitted to, calling the values "light-mode" while applying them in both themes. Every insight card ended with "Metaculus User", the same three words telling the reader nothing. That line is now the comment's timestamp, using the treatment comment_card.tsx already ships rather than CommentDate: CommentDate renders its own anchor and the insight card is itself a Link, which would nest one anchor inside another. The P1D threshold keeps recent comments relative and older ones an explicit date, and the prefix comes from the existing `onDate` key because the element's own default is a hardcoded English "on". The fallback children are load-bearing — they are what the server renders before the custom element upgrades. midtermsHubMetaculusUser had no other reference, so it goes.

@github/relative-time-element v4.5.1 format relative threshold time zone source
💡 Result:
In @github/relative-time-element v4.5.1, the element supports several key configuration attributes for date formatting, threshold logic, and time zone handling [1][2][3]. Format The format attribute controls how the date is displayed [4][5]. Supported values include: - datetime: Displays an absolute date/time [6]. - relative: Displays a relative time (e.g., "5 days ago") [5]. - duration: Displays a duration [4]. - auto: The default format that automatically selects the display method [1][4]. - micro: A concise display format [6]. - elapsed: Displays the time elapsed [2][6]. Threshold The threshold attribute determines when a relative date switches to an absolute (full) date [4][5]. - It expects a valid ISO 8601 duration string [4][5]. - The default value is P30D (30 days) [1][5]. - If the time difference between the current time and the specified datetime exceeds this duration, the element renders an absolute date [4][7]. Time Zone The element provides attributes to control time zone display and behavior [1][2]: - time-zone: Accepts a string representing the time zone (e.g., 'UTC', 'America/New_York') [1][2]. If left unspecified, it defaults to the browser's local time zone [1][5]. - time-zone-name: Configures how the time zone is displayed (e.g., 'long', 'short', 'shortOffset', 'longOffset', 'shortGeneric', 'longGeneric') [1][2]. The element relies on the browser's native Intl.DateTimeFormat and Intl.RelativeTimeFormat APIs [1][2].

Keep the server fallback and hydrated timestamp in one time zone.
formatDate uses Intl.DateTimeFormat without a timeZone, while RelativeTime uses the browser’s local time zone for absolute dates after P1D. A timestamp near midnight can show different dates before and after hydration. Pass the same explicit time zone to both paths.

formatDate and RelativeTime use the same explicit time zone, preserving
identical server-rendered and hydrated dates for timestamps near midnight.

this sounds like an app-wide improvement so we'll skip in this PR

@aseckin, understood. This can be handled as an app-wide date-formatting follow-up. Would you like me to open a GitHub issue for it?

Learning: Do not hardcode English strings in TSX components. In the Metaculus frontend (Next.js App Router), embed routes under front_end/src/app/(embed)/ inherit NextIntlClientProvider from the root layout (front_end/src/app/layout.tsx). Prefer using useTranslations() and i18n strings for UI text across components, including deeply nested components like front_end/src/components/detailed_question_card/detailed_question_card/multiple_choice_chart_card.tsx. Ensure translations are loaded and referenced via the app's i18n setup, and avoid hardcoded literals that could stall localization.

Summary
Every balance-of-power number on the dashboard was a single snapshot, so nothing
told a reader whether 86% was a sharp move or had been flat since spring. This
PR adds forecast history, race readouts on the map, and an engagement section.
Balance-of-power panel
The two snapshot cards become three timeline charts:
A single vertical rule divides the map from the panel, which now carries no card
chrome of its own. One toggle drives the timeframe on all three charts at once
(default: 2 months), so they can't drift apart and invite false comparisons. The
legend shows the latest value, and follows the cursor when you hover a chart.
build_control_timelines.tsderives all three from question 34484, summingoption probabilities for the House and Senate series.
Map
summarizeRaceLeansalso counts races within 10 points of even. A close racestill counts on the side it leans, so the two figures in one sentence
reconcile.
