- Toggle knob (bug report): the knob span had no left anchor, so it sat
at its inline static position — right-edge in off, overflowing in on.
Now left-0 + the intended 2px/18px translate; verified live: 3px from
left when off, 1px right inset both states.
- Role model/thinking dropdowns (owner ask): the EXACT chat model
selector dropdown, not a lookalike — the fuzzy-search + arrow-walk +
Enter machine moved from model-picker.tsx into the shared
components/settings/model-menu.tsx (ModelMenuList/ThinkingMenuList),
ModelControl now renders the same bodies, and the agent roles open
them downward with a pinned Default row (clears the override). The
collapsed trigger keeps the thin select look (owner: 'the collapsed
look is good'). Esc claims and closes only the menu (the dialog
stays); a backdrop click is left to the dialog's own close.
- Sub-groups (owner ask): SettingsGroup — Models / Tools / System
prompts inside Agent, each with a separator + quiet label; section
headings more pronounced (text-sm, full-foreground).
- Graying (owner ask): graph-view render-panel convention — the WHOLE
row dims (opacity-40) and the control locks; the row owns the dim so
no double-opacity. Applied to the graph ladder, the mode row, and
prompt rows without an override file. The 'needs X on' prose is gone.
- Hints pruned (owner ask): mechanics-explaining lines removed — the
ladder mention, 'App-level behavior', 'Applied live as CSS
variables', per-row explanations. Only the keyboard storage note
stays, reworded 'Stored on this device' (desktop app — localStorage
is the Chromium profile in Application Support, not 'this browser').
Live-verified: knob geometry both states + PUT round-trip, menu
search/pick/clear through the record, thinking set/clear, Esc layering,
ladder dim 0.4 with siblings full, pruned phrases absent. Gates:
typecheck, lint, 701/701.
The validation surface for the settings foundation — deliberately thin,
real read/write against the delta record, polish is a later wave.
Mount (owner decisions): dedicated page, single scroll; entry = sidebar
bottom row + ⌘/Ctrl+, (open-settings in the registry); chat defaults NOT
shown (they live on /chat/new); mode dark-only (light palette = design
wave); final tool list = research/demo/visual/pdf (master-adjudicated).
Sections (PUT /api/settings/[section], replace-whole per section):
- General: auto-update toggle.
- Agent: six background-role model+thinking selects (Default = config
pin; a stored id stays VISIBLE even when the catalog hasn't loaded or
dropped it — a select showing Default over a live override would lie),
the four tool toggles, prompt override switches (file-gated) with
source/override text editors over the segment routes.
- Appearance: applied LIVE as runtime CSS variables by an
AppearanceProvider at the root layout — proseFontSize → the one
reading-size var, fontFamily → --font-prose, background → --background
+ the derived raised/accent/edge palette (dark curve, today's exact
spacing: +8/+22/+47 per channel, clamped), sessionNameSerif →
--font-title (titles flip with ZERO chat.tsx edits), headingWeight →
new --lh-heading-weight token, bold/italic colors → the lh-ink vars.
Mode renders honestly DISABLED.
- Graph: the ladder grays a rung when any ANCESTOR is effectively off
(stored values persist, resolve inert — switch shows stored, graying
shows effective).
- Keyboard: view/rebind/reset over the registry; overrides persist in
lh:keymap and apply INSTANTLY (dispatcher reads per keydown); bare
modifier presses are ignored while armed; displayOnly actions list but
never rebind.
First-boot fix: {settings: null} is no-record, not fetch-failure.
CROSS-LANE (flagged for master): src/core/keyboard.ts gained the
open-settings action/binding and exports saveOverrides/loadOverrides
(one-liners; no existing pins); app/layout.tsx mounts the provider.
Live-verified: structure, record writes (general/tools/graph/appearance),
prose-size applying live (16→20px), rebind + chord navigation from
another page, ladder graying, no console errors. Gates: typecheck,
lint, 689/689 (28 new), build.
