Open a group by double-clicking it, and say where you are
ONE PRESS WAS DOING TWO JOBS. A group card was the only place a group could be selected — it is what EDIT and DELETE aim at — and it was also the control that narrowed the grid to that group. So there was no way to name a group in order to rename it without every host outside it leaving the screen at the same moment, and no way back except a SHOW ALL button that appeared beside the heading. Two gestures instead. A click selects and does nothing else; a double-click opens, which is what the host cards below already do to get a shell and what the transfers screen's directories already do to go inside one. The grid now has one vocabulary rather than one per list. The gesture is wired in the code-behind beside the host one, and guarded the same way: a double-click on the space around the cards must not open whichever group happened to be selected. THE CARDS ARE ONE LEVEL NOW, not every group in the keychain. Groups nest, and drawing all of them flat was the only honest thing to do while a card was a filter — a filter nobody can see is a filter nobody can turn off. Once opening one became navigation the cards became its contents, and VisibleGroups is that level beside Groups the way VisibleHosts sits beside Hosts. Groups itself is untouched: it is what every lookup reads and what the phone's headings are built from, and the phone binds none of the new members. Which is what the trail is for. A level with no name and no way out is a grid that has quietly hidden things, so a breadcrumb sits above the cards — drawn exactly as the transfers screen draws a directory path, same flat crumbs and same separator, because it is the same control answering the same question and a window with two breadcrumbs that look different has two ideas of what a path is. The first crumb is always there and always goes back to every host, which is what SHOW ALL was; that button went with it, because a control that only says "stop" beside a trail that says where you are is a second control for one job, and this one also gets you back one level rather than all the way. EDIT AND DELETE AIM AT GroupTarget: the selected card, or the open group when no card is selected. Without the fallback a group with nothing inside it could be opened and then never edited, because opening a group is exactly what takes its own card off the screen. It is also what a file manager does — act on the selection, and on the current folder when there is none — and the pair is now hidden with nothing to act on rather than shown doing nothing. A DANGLING PARENT AND A CYCLE BOTH HAD TO END UP SOMEWHERE REACHABLE. Neither is prevented: a parent id may point at a group deleted on another machine, and two clients can each re-parent A under B and B under A while offline, which no merge can see because the pointer is inside the payload. EffectiveParents promotes both to the outermost level, which is the same degradation the resolver's visited set produces for inheritance. The repair for either is the group's own editor and the editor is opened from its card, so a group drawn nowhere would be a broken state with the fix locked inside it. Three tests in HostGridTests: the split rule through the properties the cards bind, the pointer gesture itself in two windows so that "one press still only selects" is asserted separately from the pair, and a nested group opened, emptied of cards and walked back out of one level. The last presses the trail as it is actually rendered rather than calling the command, because a crumb reaches the vault through a $parent binding — a string that compiles whether or not it resolves, and would otherwise leave a row of buttons that do nothing. 85 layout tests and 234 shell-flow tests pass. Manual-checks 3.2, 7.6 and 7.7 follow the new gestures, and 3.2a and 3.4a are new: nesting, and the two states above, both of which need two machines and neither of which headless Avalonia can reach. |

Take the group headings out of the host grid, and drop onto a group card
A first group turned the wrap of host cards into an accordion: SidebarRows interleaves a full-width fold-away heading — chevron, name, count — between the cards, and in a grid that reads as a dropdown somebody left open. The desktop grid binds VisibleHosts now. The headings and the fold stay for the phone, whose list has no room for the row of group cards the desktop draws above the grid. What a heading said, the card says: HostRowViewModel.GroupLabel, resolved once per reload like the tag names, drawn as an accent chip and absent from a host in no group — or in one that has been deleted, which is the same thing to look at. What a heading also was is the drop target, and that moves to the group cards. Two things go with it. A host dropped onto another host card used to be filed beside it, which was legible while a heading named the band of cards it landed in and is guesswork now; it is refused. And UNGROUPED was how a host was dragged back out of a group; the way out is the picker in its own editor, which is the one place "no group" can be said in words. A drag held at either edge of the grid scrolls it. Without that the gesture only works for whoever can see both ends of it: the group cards are the first thing in the scroller, the host may be the fortieth card down, and a drag cannot use the wheel. A step per drag event rather than a timer, so it follows the pointer and stops when it stops. The two heading-shaped tests are replaced. TheHostsGridHoldsCardsAndNoGroupHeadings asserts the grid's contents rather than only measuring them, because a heading that came back would lay out perfectly cleanly. TheGroupCardsAreWhatAcceptsADroppedHost raises a real DragOver over both kinds of card and checks the effects and the mark — the nearest a headless test gets to a gesture no headless test can synthesise. manual-checks 3.1-3.2 and 7.6-7.9 follow. |

Move SFTP and S3 into the tab strip, and the host list into a card grid
Four asks in one pass over the desktop head, and two of them are furniture moving rather than anything new. THE STRIP IS THE WINDOW'S NOW, not the terminal's. Vaults, SFTP and S3 sit at its head and cannot be closed, and open terminals follow them. SFTP and S3 left the nav rail to get there, which is the one semantic change: they are the two destinations you stay in while something runs, and a rail entry is for somewhere you go and come back from. So the rail belongs to the Vaults tab and collapses with it, which also means SFTP, S3 and a terminal each get the full 1016 rather than the 826 a page gets. The tab is expressed as "a page, and not one of the two the strip took" rather than as a fourth ShellSurface. Both are still ShellScreen members and have to be — that is what they are on the phone, where they are two rows in a hub — so a surface each would have been a second way to say a thing Screen already says. IsTransfersShowing and IsBucketsShowing light the other two tabs unchanged. What is new is one field: the page Vaults comes back to, because it is the one tab with sub-navigation and therefore the one that can return to the wrong place. That is not the hidden field ShellSurface argues against — that one would be a second copy of "which page"; this is a tab remembering its own. THE HOSTS SCREEN IS A GRID, and the 268-pixel sidebar is gone. That column was choosing among forty machines and editing one of them at two-thirds width, and it was narrow so the editor beneath it could be a column at all. Cards took the first job at full width; a 304-pixel drawer took the second and collapses when nothing is selected. Pressing a group card narrows the grid; SHOW ALL is the way back. The group editor moved into the drawer as well, which finally makes IsEditingGroup mean the same thing on both heads — it was the phone's alone, because the desktop's editor was a bar that was always on screen. AreHostsExpanded and ToggleHosts went with the control that used them. They folded the whole list away under one heading, an affordance that existed because the column was narrow. Folding a single group is a different thing and is still here. THE TYPE SCALE IS A POINT LARGER and the text ramp is white. The base size was never stated anywhere — a bare TextBlock took TextElement's default of 12 — so raising the scale meant naming it, on Window and on UserControl. The second selector is not redundancy: the layout harness hosts a UserControl in a window it builds itself, and without it the suite would measure every screen a point smaller than it ships, silently. A selector on TextBlock would have been the obvious way and is wrong, because a style setter beats an inherited value and would collapse every deliberate step back to one number. #E3E7F4 is a blue-tinted white on blue-black surfaces, which costs contrast twice — once for being darker than white and once for sharing a hue with what it is drawn on. Pure white is 18.3:1 against the canvas where that was 15.5:1. Every step below moved with the top, so the intervals the design chose are kept and TextDim clears 9:1 against 6.4:1. The palette is shared, so the phone has both changes too. TWO DEFECTS THE HARNESS STRUCTURALLY CANNOT SEE, found by rendering the screen rather than by measuring it, and both now covered. The tile was 232 and was first written as 248, from arithmetic that left out the scrolling stack's own margins. Every layout test passed — the harness asks whether a control is inside the window, never how many fit on a line — so the grid quietly became one column wide at exactly the minimum this application guarantees, which is the shape cards exist to avoid. TheHostsGridKeepsTwoColumnsAtTheMinimumWithTheDrawerOpen counts columns instead, and fails at 248. And a card's text ran past its own border, because a horizontal StackPanel measures children with infinite width: a TextBlock inside one never learns it is short of room, so TextTrimming never fires. Both card rows are grids with a star column that gives way and an Auto column that does not — a hostname with its tail cut is still the machine you were looking for, where a badge or the word naming an auth method is not. The keychain header changed shape for the same class of reason. It was Auto,Auto,*,Auto with the buttons last, so the slack column was the only thing absorbing a change of width and five buttons fell off the right edge the moment the type grew. That is how GENERATE lost the word KEY once already. The summary sits in the star column and trims now, so the buttons always get their width. HostSidebarTests became HostGridTests and moved to the grid with the gestures it drives. docs/design-import-gaps.md gains a v3 section naming the five toolbar controls in the design with nothing behind them — a view-mode switch, a tag filter, a calendar, a share control and Serial — and manual-checks.md and the README follow the controls that moved. |
