Transforms the single-converter timestamp tool into a full four-mode developer utility with a shared session history drawer. Modes: - Convert: smart single-input parser (seconds/ms/ISO/RFC) with grouped output sections — Raw Unix, Standard UTC, and Localized (timezone dropdown with pinned defaults + extensible list). - Batch: multiline textarea; regex-detects Unix timestamps and ISO 8601 strings in raw log paste; renders results as a sortable table with original, ISO, and relative columns. - Diff/Duration: two datetime inputs → live human-readable duration; reverse mode (base datetime + offset expression → resulting datetime). - Cron: expression input with live description, next-5-runs preview in selected timezone, and copy-to-clipboard per run. Other additions: - Session history sidebar (persisted to localStorage, max 10 entries) that replays any past convert/diff/cron into the relevant tab. - Code snippet flyout on each value row (JS/Python/Go/Rust snippets). - URL state sharing via useUrlState for all four modes. - ✦ symbol on Now button and Unix Timestamp label for visual identity. - useToolStats wired up: usage counter increments on every copy action.
Dropdown (Field.tsx):
- Add overflowX: hidden to listbox container — eliminates horizontal
scrollbar that appeared with long timezone names (e.g. America/Sao_Paulo).
- Wrap item label in a flex span with white-space:nowrap + text-overflow:
ellipsis so long entries truncate cleanly without reflowing the list.
- Add title={opt.label} tooltip so full name is readable on hover.
- Raise listbox z-index from 100 → 500 so it floats above the history
sidebar panel without overlap.
Toast (Toast.tsx):
- Set left: auto and maxWidth: calc(100vw - 32px) on the container so
toasts never clip or overflow on narrow viewports.
index.css:
- Add overflow-x: hidden to html/body/#root to suppress any stray
horizontal scrollbar introduced by absolutely-positioned elements.

Summary
Rebuilds the Timestamp tool from a single-field converter into a four-mode developer utility, then stabilises it with a focused bug-fix and polish pass.
What changed
🛠 feat — Four-mode Timestamp tool (TimestampTool.tsx)
+1y 2mo 15d) → resulting datetime.Also included:
localStorage, max 10 entries) — replays any past convert / diff / cron back into the relevant tab on click.useUrlStatefor all four modes (shareable links).useToolStatswired up — usage counter increments on every successful copy (value rows + code snippets), consistent with ColorTool / CurlTool.🐛 fix — History runaway on Convert tab
Root cause:
parsedDate(aDateobject) was listed as auseEffectdependency. BecauseparseSmartDate()returnsnew Date()on every render, and the component re-renders every second from the live-clock ticker (setTick), React treated it as changed every tick → the historyuseEffectfired every second → a new history entry was created for every clock tick even with no user input.Fix: Removed all derived
Dateobjects from the effect dependency array. Only primitive strings (convertInput,diffDate1, etc.) remain — these change only when the user types.⚡ perf — Slow tab switching
Root cause: All four modes computed their full output on every 1-second render tick, regardless of which tab was active.
getNextCronRuns(), the batch regex loop, and threeparseSmartDatecalls for diff ran unconditionally every second.Fix: Each computation is now gated behind
activeMode === '...'. On the Convert tab, onlyparseSmartDate(convertInput)runs per tick. Cron, Batch, and Diff are no-ops until you switch to their tab.💅 fix — Dropdown, Toast, and shell polish (Field.tsx, Toast.tsx, index.css)
