Element Plus ships no html/body reset, so the browser default
`body { margin: 8px }` applied, while the app shell was declared
`min-height: 100vh`. The document therefore measured one viewport plus
8px: a vertical scrollbar was permanently visible on the right edge even
for short pages, every page was pushed 8px off the intended 20px gutter,
and the window and .el-main both scrolled.
Add src/styles/base.css, imported once from main.ts after Element Plus,
which now owns the reset and the shell contract:
- html/body/#app/.app-shell are exactly one viewport tall with no margin;
body never scrolls, so the window has no scrollbar
- .app-main is the single scroll container (min-height: 0, overflow-y
auto, overflow-x hidden) with a slim low-contrast scrollbar that only
shows when content truly exceeds the viewport
- global guards against content escaping the gutter: media max-width,
wrapping for long code strings
- shared .page helper for a consistent per-view vertical rhythm
Also let the header menu track its content box, so its active underline
stays flush with the header separator instead of spilling past it, and
drop the now-unused RouterLink import.
Backend (backend/):
- FastAPI app with layered app/{api,core,crud,db,models,schemas} structure
- TiDB connection via SQLAlchemy. The URL is built with URL.create rather
than string formatting: the password contains '@', which would otherwise be
parsed as the user/host separator and silently truncate the credential.
- Alembic environment wired to Base.metadata and the app settings, so
backend/.env stays the single source of truth for credentials
- /api/health endpoint reporting database reachability
- models/ and crud/ are intentionally empty: no model classes are defined and
no tables are created, at import time or otherwise
Frontend (frontend/):
- Vue 3 + Vite + TypeScript scaffold (create-vue, --bare)
- axios instance with a normalized error shape
- vue-router with a home route and a catch-all 404
- pinia + pinia-plugin-persistedstate; the app store persists selected keys
- Element Plus with its icons registered globally
- dev proxy forwards /api to the FastAPI service on port 8000
The database paper_doc was created in TiDB out of band; no table exists yet.
