feat(ccb): reinstate active-file label with dirty indicator

abose · abose · commit 44d03a0d8c96 · 2026-04-24T09:39:41.000+05:30
Restores the vertical file-name + dirty-dot label that was removed in 22b2191 (replaced with a show-in-tree button at the time). The label hangs below the save group, reads the file name bottom-up, and shows a small amber dot at the top when the active document is dirty. Two improvements over the original: - Source the file from MainViewManager.getCurrentlyViewedFile(ACTIVE_PANE) instead of DocumentManager.getCurrentDocument(). getCurrentDocument() is CodeMirror-only, so the old label went blank whenever the active pane was an image or other non-CM view. Dirty state still goes through DocumentManager.getOpenDocumentForPath(fullPath), which is null for non-editable views — they correctly stay un-dirty. - Anti-pixelation for linux electron: swap `writing-mode: vertical-rl; transform: rotate(180deg)` for `writing-mode: sideways-lr`, which lets Chromium take its fast vertical-text path instead of rasterizing through a rotated transform. Pair it with translateZ(0), backface-visibility, -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased, and text-rendering: geometricPrecision so the glyphs stay crisp even if a system falls back to the slow text path. Click still dispatches NAVIGATE_SHOW_IN_FILE_TREE (mirrors the binoculars affordance the label replaced). Tests: adds a 2b. #ccbFileLabel describe to CentralControlBar-integ-test covering render/placement, the name-shown / cleared-on-FILE_CLOSE_ALL cycle, the .is-dirty toggle via setText + refreshText, the click → NAVIGATE_SHOW_IN_FILE_TREE dispatch, and the label updating when the active file switches.
