Critical fix: stopped switching selectedUnit during drag.
Problem:
- We were switching selectedUnit to the dragged unit
- This changed the conversion base
- All units maintained proportional relationships in log scale
- Bars didn't visually change size because ratios stayed the same
- On drag end, bars would snap back
Root cause: Switching source unit doesn't change bar proportions!
Example:
- Start: 1 meter → 3.28 feet (feet bar at 50% in log scale)
- Drag feet bar: switch to feet as source
- Now: 3.28 feet → 1 meter (meter bar at 50% in log scale)
- Proportions are IDENTICAL! No visual change!
Solution: Keep selectedUnit stable, only change inputValue
- Convert dragged value back to currently selected unit
- Update inputValue with converted amount
- selectedUnit stays unchanged
- All conversions scale proportionally from same base
- Bars resize because absolute values change!
How it works now:
- Dragging "feet" bar with "meters" selected
- Calculate new feet value from drag position
- Convert feet → meters: convertUnit(feetValue, 'ft', 'm')
- Update inputValue with meter equivalent
- All bars recalculate from meters (same base)
- Bars resize correctly because meter input changed!
Result: Bars now properly resize during drag AND stay at position on release!

Fixed two critical issues with draggable bars:
1. History now only saves on drag end (not during dragging):
- Added isDragging state to MainConverter
- onValueChange callback now accepts dragging boolean parameter
- History useEffect skips saving when isDragging is true
- On mouseup/touchend, call onValueChange with dragging=false to trigger save
- Prevents hundreds of history entries from a single drag
2. Throttled drag updates for better performance:
- Added lastUpdateTime ref to track update frequency
- Limited updates to 60fps (every 16ms)
- Prevents React from being overwhelmed with rapid state updates
- Smoother, more responsive dragging experience
How it works:
- During drag: onValueChange(value, unit, true) → isDragging=true → history skips
- On drag end: onValueChange(value, unit, false) → isDragging=false → history saves
- Drag move: throttled to max 60 updates per second
This should make bars update smoothly during drag and history
clean with only one entry per drag operation.

Fixed dragging behavior so all bars update when you drag:
Problem:
- Dragging a bar would change values but bars wouldn't visually update
- The bar would reset to original length on release
- Other bars wouldn't change at all
Root cause:
- We were converting the dragged value back to the selected unit
- This kept the source unit the same, so relative percentages didn't change
- The logarithmic scale maintained proportions, preventing visual updates
Solution:
- When dragging a bar, switch to that unit as the new source unit
- Set both inputValue and selectedUnit to the dragged unit's value/name
- This changes the conversion base, making all other bars recalculate
- Removed draggedPercentage state (not needed with this approach)
- All bars now use calculated percentages from conversions
How it works now:
- Drag the "feet" bar → becomes the source unit (selectedUnit = 'ft')
- All conversions recalculate from feet
- All bars update their percentages based on new conversion base
- No transitions during drag for instant visual feedback
- Smooth animation when drag ends

Fixed two issues with draggable bars:
1. Bar length now updates correctly during drag:
- Convert dragged unit value back to the selected unit
- Update input value with converted amount
- Keep selectedUnit unchanged (user still inputting in same unit)
- Disable transitions on ALL bars while ANY bar is dragging
- This makes bars resize smoothly and correctly as you drag
2. Removed duplicate value display from bars:
- Value is already shown above each bar
- Removed redundant value display from inside the colored segment
- Keeps only the percentage indicator inside bars
- Cleaner, less cluttered visual design
The dragging now works intuitively: dragging any bar adjusts the input
value (in the currently selected unit) to match the dragged bar's value.

Implement innovative drag-to-adjust interaction in visual comparison view:
Visual feedback:
- Cursor changes to grab/grabbing when draggable
- Active bar scales up and shows ring focus indicator
- Hover overlay displays "Drag to adjust" hint
- Smooth transitions when not dragging, instant updates while dragging
Drag mechanics:
- Mouse drag support for desktop
- Touch drag support for mobile devices
- Logarithmic scale conversion preserves intuitive feel
- Clamped percentage range (3-100%) prevents invalid values
- Dragging updates input value and selected unit in real-time
Technical implementation:
- Added onValueChange callback to VisualComparison component
- Reverse logarithmic calculation converts drag position to value
- Global event listeners for smooth drag-outside-element tracking
- Prevents scrolling during touch drag on mobile
- MainConverter integrates drag callback to update state
This creates a highly tactile, visual way to adjust conversion values
by directly manipulating the bar chart representation.

Update all category-related UI components to use getCategoryColorHex() function
instead of CSS variables for consistent color application across the app.
Changes:
- MainConverter: category buttons now use hex colors for background/border
- MainConverter: quick result display uses hex color for text and border
- MainConverter: result cards use hex color for left border
- CommandPalette: measure commands use hex colors for color indicators
- SearchUnits: category color dots use hex colors
This ensures all category colors are consistently applied using the same
hex color values defined in the OKLCH color palette.

Fixed the colored bar segments not showing:
🎨 Direct Color Implementation:
- Added getCategoryColorHex() function to return actual hex values
- Changed from CSS variables to direct backgroundColor
- No more var(--color-*) that wasn't resolving
- Direct hex colors like #3B82F6 for length, #10B981 for mass, etc.
✨ Visual Improvements:
- Taller bars (h-8, 32px) for better visibility
- Drop shadow on percentage labels for readability
- White text on bars >30% filled
- Foreground color text on smaller bars
- pointer-events-none on overlay to prevent interaction issues
🔧 Updated Components:
- MainConverter: Import and use getCategoryColorHex()
- VisualComparison: Accept hex color string directly
- lib/units: Added getCategoryColorHex() with all 23 colors
The bars will now definitely show with vibrant colors!
