Owner round: the figure card loses its container entirely (no border,
no padding box) - the figure is document material. Image first, then
the CAPTION ROW below it: 'Figure' label aligned to the image's left
edge, the controls (invert toggle, download, fullscreen) on the same
row aligned to its right edge. The wrapper carries the natural-sizing
law, so for a declared-width svg the row hugs the centered figure's
own edges, not the column's.
The invert affordance: the house Toggle gains an optional icon disc -
the figure's toggle renders lucide's Contrast (the half-filled circle)
AS the sliding disc, plus a native 'Invert colors' tooltip; every
plain toggle elsewhere is unchanged. Interactive demo cards keep their
boxed stage (owner ruling: an interactive surface reads as its own
stage).
- MenuShell: after placement, focus lands in the search when the menu has
one, else the body (tabIndex -1) — the lists' mount-time focus ran during
the hidden measuring pass and silently failed, so no dropdown ever opened
focused. The body owns the arrow machine for searchless menus:
ArrowDown/Up cycle options with wrap (first/last entry from the body,
native-select convention), Home/End, Enter activates, preventDefault so
arrows never scroll the page.
- Appearance: the CSS-var applier only ever setProperty'd — a later write
omitting a var left the stale inline value forever (empty background
never reset, serif toggle-back looked dead). appliedNamesRef tracks what
was set; staleVarNames (pure, exported) returns what to removeProperty.
- CommitInput: controlled — after a commit the field snaps to the stored
record, so the clamp on a -5 prose size is visible (12), Esc reverts.
- Keys: Add-provider dropdown closes on pick; the paste row is inline
(label | input | Save | Cancel); existing-row editors go inline with an
explicit Cancel beside Save/Delete — folding is visible, not Esc-only.
- Graph context: readout is content-sized (tabular-nums) — no fixed-width
dead gap when "off"; the dictation strip fills whatever space remains.
Gates: tsc clean, 866/866 tests (new staleVarNames suite), lint 0, build ok.
Live-verified via Playwright: dropdown focus+arrow cycles+wrap+Enter pick,
background set→empty reset, serif round-trip, visible clamp to 12, provider
pick closes menu, inline editor + Cancel + Esc fold, slider width 270→277px.
- Toggle (owner bug report): the ON disc sat flush against the pill's
right edge — translate-x-4.5 left only a 1px sliver; now translate-x-4
for a 2px inner inset both states (off: 3px left inset; on: 3px right
inset — measured live, symmetric).
- Toggle colors (owner ask): ON is a gray track (muted-foreground) with
a WHITE disc (foreground) — the full-white track was too loud; OFF
stays the muted track with the gray disc.
- Nav spacing (owner ask): gap-1 between the section nav buttons so the
hover highlights no longer touch.
- Role dropdowns (owner ask): the menus were clipped by the dialog's
overflow frame — they now portal to document.body with fixed
positioning against their trigger (AnchoredMenu), right-aligned,
repositioned on scroll/resize, so they flow over the whole screen
outside the settings dialog. Verified: a bottom-row menu extends
137px past the dialog's bottom edge; search + pick + Default-clear
work through the portal; Esc and inside-dialog clicks close the menu
but not the dialog.
- Thinking trigger (owner ask): fixed w-20 — the width the Default
state needs — so picking levels no longer shifts the row; the model
trigger takes the same width as a minimum (its values vary in length).
- Role hints (owner ask): ALWAYS visible and naming the actual default —
'Default: <model>'. The resolved per-role pins are not client-side
yet: master routed rolePins to the Platform stream (GET /api/models
extension, standalone commit); until that merge the rows read the
'config pin' fallback and light up on rebase. rolePins also lets the
thinking list use the pinned model's real supportedLevels when it's
in the catalog.
Also: staging repair commit 270db53 — the round-1 dialog rewiring
(sidebar row, chord, redirect, keyframes) was listed in 27d4f33's
message but never staged; committed as catch-up.
Live-verified on the worktree dev server. Gates: typecheck, lint,
701/701.
- 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.
