Three things one pass over the shell's chrome turned up, none of them related
to the others beyond having been looked at together.

◆ A PALE STRIP ACROSS THE TOP OF THE WINDOW ON WINDOWS, and it is not this
application's titlebar. Avalonia's Win32 backend gives a BorderOnly window
WS_BORDER | WS_THICKFRAME and then calls DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea with
one-pixel margins on all four sides — read out of WindowImpl.UpdateWindowProperties
in 12.1.1 rather than guessed at. So DWM owns a hairline of every edge and fills
it with the system's caption and border colours, which follow the user's
personalisation settings: with "show accent colour on title bars and window
borders" on, that is blue against a near-black shell. Nothing in the visual tree
painted those pixels, which is why nothing in the visual tree could cover them.

NativeWindowFrame sets DWMWA_BORDER_COLOR and DWMWA_CAPTION_COLOR to the
window's own Background, so the hairline still exists — the resize grip is on
it, the drop shadow hangs off it — and cannot be seen. Deliberately not
DWMWA_COLOR_NONE, which removes the border outright and leaves a near-black
window with no edge at all on a dark desktop. Windows 10 gets the dark-mode
attribute and nothing else, because the two colour attributes are Windows 11
and DwmSetWindowAttribute simply answers E_INVALIDARG there.

Called from OnOpened, not the constructor: there is no platform handle until
the window is shown, and calling early is a silent no-op — which looks exactly
like a fix that does not work.

Verified on screen on Windows 11.

◆ THE HOSTS HEADER SAT A STEP LEFT OF AND ABOVE EVERY OTHER SCREEN'S. Keychain,
Snips, Logs and Pins all frame their content with Margin="26"; Hosts was on 16
a side and 20 on top. It is 26 all round now, stated per row rather than once on
the root, because the board's ScrollViewer is deliberately full-bleed so that
its scrollbar rides the pane's edge, and because a root margin would also inset
the drawer, which draws its own.

That cost the cards ten pixels, and the layout suite is what said so:
TheHostsGridKeepsTwoColumnsAtTheMinimumWithTheDrawerOpen failed, because
Border.tile's 224 was derived from the board's old 16-pixel margins and the grid
quietly collapses to one column at exactly the size this application guarantees.
224 becomes 214, with the arithmetic in App.axaml rewritten — it had also gone
stale in a way that hid itself, still citing the 1016 minimum and 190 rail from
before v5b, whose two changes happened to cancel.

◆ PINS LEAVES THE RAIL, and only the rail. KnownHostsScreen is still built and
still one click away, from "Host keys" on the Keys screen's own header, which
was always the second way in. The row was kept through v5b on the grounds that
the mock has no screen for approved host keys — a reason for the screen to
exist, and never a reason for a rail entry once the keychain had a door to the
same place. Two rows landing on one screen is a rail that has to be read twice.
MainWindowViewModel.IsKnownHostsShowing stays: it names a real shell state and
ShellFlowTests still asserts on it.

design-import-gaps.md recorded that row as a deliberate deviation and
manual-checks.md Phase 1.1 walked the rail entry by entry; both are corrected,
and the manual check now reaches the screen the way a user would.

The layout suite's rail row count moves from six to five with it.

153 layout tests and 446 shell tests pass. The frame is confirmed by eye; the
Hosts inset and the rail are covered by the layout suite but were not seen
running, because the instance launched to check them came up locked.

> | The status bar's negotiated cipher, host-key algorithm and key/credential name | ◆ **Shipped, on both surfaces, with three honest deviations.** `ISshConnection` and `ISftpSession` now both carry `Cipher` — the server-to-client algorithm off SSH.NET's own `ConnectionInfo.CurrentServerEncryption`, captured once at construction because a rekey is not an event SSH.NET raises — and `TerminalWorkspace.GetSessionFacts` hands the cipher and the host key's algorithm back to the shell the moment a session opens; `VaultViewModel.TryBuildAuthentication` now threads the authenticating key's or credential's own `Label` into `HostAuthentication.IdentityLabel`, all the way to `MainWindowViewModel`'s surface-aware `SessionCipher`, `SessionHostKeyAlgorithm` and `SessionIdentityLabel`, composed into one `SessionIdentityText` run for the status bar. Three deviations from the mock, not omissions: the algorithm prints exactly as negotiated (`ssh-ed25519`), not the design's shortened `ed25519`, because trimming it would be an edit to a string this client did not choose; the run is plain text rather than the design's clickable element, because there is no pin-details modal for a session that is already open, and drawing a click target for a screen that does not exist would itself be a fabrication; and a typed-password session — nothing filed in the keychain to name — shows the host-key algorithm alone, with no `·` after it, because there is no item behind the dot. |
> | S3 dimmed in the design's own switcher | **Enabled.** The mock leaves S3 as future work; this application already has bucket browsing, so SSH, SFTP and S3 are a true three-way segment, wired to `IsSshShowing`, `IsTransfersShowing` and `IsBucketsShowing` exactly alike. |
> | The S3/Buckets screen | **Did not get the session shell in v5b.** `TransfersScreen` serves both SFTP and S3 today and only the SFTP usage in `MainWindow.axaml` sat inside the new tab row/header/status bar/sidebar; the S3 usage was unchanged at the time. **v5c gives it the shell's own look without the machinery** — a 26-pixel padded, bordered, radius-12 container and nothing past that, since a bucket has no tab to close, no host to head a card with and no pin for a sidebar to show; see the v5c section, below. |
> | No pins destination in the design at all | **Kept anyway.** The rail still carries Pins — `KnownHostsScreen` — because the mock has no screen for approved host keys and this application's has to stay reachable. |
> | No pins destination in the design at all | **The rail agrees with the design now.** `KnownHostsScreen` is still built and still reachable — from **Host keys** on the Keys screen's own header, which was always the second way in — but the rail's Pins row is gone. It was kept through v5b on the grounds that the mock has no screen for approved host keys, which is a reason for the screen to exist and was never a reason for a rail entry once the keychain had a door to the same place. Two rail rows landing on one screen is a rail that has to be read twice. |
> | The popover's Settings and Preferences rows, and the design's own Settings-* family of screens | **Landed in v5c.** What was two doors to one room in v5b — Settings and Preferences both opening the same bare `Preferences` screen — is now two of three doors onto their own settings pages: Settings opens General, Preferences opens Preferences, and a third row, Vaults, opens Vaults. All three are real, distinct pages inside one settings mode; see the v5c section, below. |
> | `· Org` after the user chip's name, and a `Primary` tag on a vault row in the popover | Neither. There is no organisation concept behind a vault — only the vault itself — and no vault is distinguished as primary; the popover's vault rows are the existing shown-vaults toggles, restyled. |
> | The design's titlebar, which has nowhere for a sync indicator | `SYNCED` stays, on the titlebar's right side, ahead of the window's own minimise/maximise/close buttons — the one thing this titlebar keeps that the design's own does not draw at all. |
