+## Horizontal Scroll Card Lane Pattern (Reusable)
+
+A reusable pattern for displaying actionable items as horizontally scrollable cards with
+gradient fades and scroll arrows. Used in the dashboard (environment cards, pending actions)
+and the approvals inbox (approval cards with inline actions).
+
+### Architecture
+
+Three layers:
+1. **Wrapper** (`*-lane-wrapper`) — relative-positioned container with `::before`/`::after` gradient pseudo-elements
+2. **Scroll container** (`*-lane`) — flex row with `overflow-x: auto`, hidden scrollbar, `scroll-behavior: smooth`
+3. **Cards** — fixed-width (`280px`) flex items with `flex-shrink: 0`
+
+### Scroll arrow signals (TypeScript)
+
+```typescript
+@ViewChild('myScroll') myScrollRef?: ElementRef<HTMLDivElement>;
+readonly showLeftArrow = signal(false);
+readonly showRightArrow = signal(false);
+
+onScroll(): void { this.updateArrows(); }
+scrollCards(direction: 'left' | 'right'): void {
+  this.myScrollRef?.nativeElement?.scrollBy({ left: direction === 'left' ? -300 : 300, behavior: 'smooth' });
+}
+private updateArrows(): void {
+  const el = this.myScrollRef?.nativeElement;
+  if (!el) { this.showLeftArrow.set(false); this.showRightArrow.set(false); return; }
+  this.showLeftArrow.set(el.scrollLeft > 1);
+  this.showRightArrow.set(el.scrollWidth - el.scrollLeft - el.clientWidth > 1);
+}
+```
+
+### Gradient fades (CSS)
+
+```scss
+.my-wrapper.can-scroll-left::before {
+  content: ''; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; width: 56px;
+  background: linear-gradient(to right, var(--color-surface-primary) 0%, transparent 100%);
+  pointer-events: none; z-index: 1;
+}
+.my-wrapper.can-scroll-right::after { /* mirror for right side */ }
+```
+
+### Confirmation dialogs for card actions
+
+- **Production approve**: `<app-confirm-dialog>` with `variant="warning"` and `ViewChild` ref, call `.open()` programmatically
+- **Reject with reason**: Custom inline dialog overlay with `<textarea [(ngModel)]>` for optional reason
+- **Detail popup**: `<app-modal size="lg">` — shows summary immediately, loads full detail via API on open
+
+### Reference implementations
+
+- Dashboard environment cards: `features/dashboard-v3/dashboard-v3.component.ts` (`.env-grid-wrapper`)
+- Approvals inbox cards: `features/approvals/approvals-inbox.component.ts` (`.cards-lane-wrapper`, `.apc` cards)
+- Stella Action Card List: `shared/components/stella-action-card/` (simpler variant without arrows)

 ## Tab Navigation Convention (MANDATORY)
 
 All page-level tab navigation **must** use `<stella-page-tabs>`.
@@ -271,6 +326,24 @@ Three filter component types:
 - Use `app-filter-bar` when search + multiple dropdowns + active chips are needed
 - Compact inline chips: 28px height, no border default, dropdown on click
 
+**Filter container overflow (CRITICAL):**
+
+Filter containers that hold `stella-filter-chip` or `stella-filter-multi` MUST use
+`overflow: visible` so dropdown panels are not clipped. Do NOT use `overflow-x: auto`
+or `overflow: hidden` on filter row containers — this clips the absolute-positioned
+dropdown panels (`z-index: 200`) below the fold.
+
+```css
+/* CORRECT — dropdowns escape the container */
+.filters { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; overflow: visible; gap: 0.5rem; }
+
+/* WRONG — clips dropdown panels */
+.filters { display: flex; flex-wrap: nowrap; overflow-x: auto; }
+```
+
+The topbar header row uses `overflow: visible` for this reason — all page-level
+filter rows must follow the same pattern.
