jaap-jan	4b706bc3c3	Say when a vault has moved, so nobody waits out the minute ... The delta pull was cheap enough to run on a timer and the client did, once a minute. That is fine for a machine and wrong for two people: an edit a colleague makes is up to a minute stale, which is long enough for both of them to make it and produce a conflict neither needed to have. Shortening the interval is the obvious answer and the wrong one — it costs a request per client per interval whether or not anything happened, and it converges on a busier server that is still late. So the server now says so. A client holds a WebSocket open at GET /api/v1/events, subprotocol dodossh.events.v1, and gets a line down it when something it can read has changed. ADR 0012 has the reasoning; three parts of it are worth repeating here, because they are what everything else rests on. **What crosses the socket is a notice, never data.** A frame names a vault and how far its change log has got. No item, no ciphertext, not even which item it was. The client's answer is the delta pull it would have run anyway, so there is still exactly one code path that applies a change to a keychain, and it is not this one. Pushing the items themselves would save a round trip and fork that path in two, with the cursor, the merge and the tombstone rules duplicated across both — ADR 0003 put every mutation through one write path for that reason, and this keeps every read on one for the same one. It also makes a dropped notice harmless, which is what lets the fan-out below be as simple as it is. **Polling stays, and is what guarantees a pass.** The minute timer is unchanged. A network that eats WebSockets, a server with Events:Enabled off, an older server, a proxy that will not upgrade, a notice dropped under backpressure — every one of those leaves a client behaving exactly as it did before this commit. Nothing is reachable only over the socket and nothing is meant to become so; VaultViewModel's AutoSyncInterval remark now says that where somebody changing it will read it. **The bearer token authorises the upgrade, unlike the relay's ticket.** Not an inconsistency with ADR 0004: the relay's socket is a byte pipe whose whole authorization decision — which host, which IPs, which port — is made before it opens and never revisited, and it is the extraction seam for a process that must hold no ACL code. This one is a view of the caller's own vault list and has to keep answering "what may this account read" for as long as it is held. A ticket would carry that answer in a token and be wrong the moment the account's access changed. The two bounds that arrangement needs are met rather than waved at: the socket is closed at the token's exp with close code 4401 and the client comes straight back with a fresh one, and the vault set is re-resolved every few minutes as well as on the changes known to affect it. Both bound *metadata*, because a notice contains nothing else and reading a vault still needs a key this server has never held. **The fan-out.** VaultEventHub is a singleton holding the sockets this node accepted; publishing walks them and asks each whether it cares, rather than keeping a vault-to-subscriber index that every re-subscription would have to move entries between under a lock publishing also takes. At a few hundred sockets per node and an event rate bounded by how often people edit keychains, the walk is not measurable and its races are obvious. Per-connection queues are bounded and drop the *oldest*: a notice means "pull vault X, which is at least at sequence N", so the newest subsumes what it displaces and the client's answer is identical either way — which is what lets the publish path be void, never block, and never fail. Announced from the endpoint rather than from SyncService, and that placement is the point: by then the push has committed and released the per-vault advisory lock. From inside it would name a sequence no reader can see yet and would hold the lock that serialises writers across a socket write. Only the highest *applied* sequence, so a batch of pure conflicts announces nothing, and a duplicate — already announced when it first landed — announces nothing either. Grants and membership publish too, and those take the *recipient* rather than the actor. This is what AdmitNewVaultsAsync has been apologising for since sharing shipped — "the recipient is handed nothing, there is no push channel" — and the README with it. A vault shared with somebody now turns up as it is shared. The comment and the README paragraph both say what is true now, and both keep saying that the pass is what *discovers* the vault, because a client with no socket has to arrive at the same place. **On the client**, VaultEventStream is really a reconnection policy wrapped round a ClientWebSocket: a dropped socket is the ordinary case here — laptops sleep, proxies time out, tokens expire, servers are redeployed — so nothing in it treats a failure as exceptional, and every path ends in "wait, then dial again". A connection that lived long enough to say hello resets the backoff, so a laptop that woke, worked, and lost its network an hour later does not inherit a minute-long wait it has already proved it need not take. A 4401 close skips the backoff entirely and asks the token provider again, which is the whole reason that close code is distinct. A server that does not advertise the events feature gets IdleVaultEventStream, which never delivers — so IVaultServer.Events is never null and every caller stays on one shape, because the correct behaviour without a socket is the behaviour with a silent one. The shell's background loop now selects between the timer and a notice, and both waits are held across iterations. That is load-bearing rather than tidy: PeriodicTimer permits one outstanding WaitForNextTickAsync and throws on a second, and an abandoned channel read stays registered and consumes the next notice written. Either defect leaves the first notice working and every one after it silently lost, which is why NoticesKeepWakingTheLoop_NotJustTheFirst pushes three and not one. Notices are coalesced over a quarter of a second, so one person's save — a host and its log entry are two items — and a colleague clearing a folder each cost one pass rather than a dozen. **The kind is a string, not an enum**, and that is a compatibility decision. UseStringEnumConverter throws on a value it does not know, so a newer server sending a kind an older client had never heard of would not add an unreadable frame — it would break that client's socket outright. A string is ignored instead. ProblemCodes is the same shape for the same reason. **Tested on both sides, through the real pipeline.** The endpoint suite opens a genuine socket against TestServer and proves a push produces a notice, that another account's push does not reach it, that a ping is answered, and that a frame this server cannot parse does not end the connection. Two of those assert on *ordering* rather than on absence within a timeout — the stranger's write goes first, so a socket that leaked would have announced it before the one the test waits for — because "nothing arrived in two seconds" is a test that passes on a slow machine for the wrong reason. And ANoticeCarriesNoCiphertext asserts on the bytes that crossed the wire rather than on the record's fields, since the latter would only prove that this type has no payload member, which is a tautology; the former is what catches a field added later without anybody thinking about disclosure. The client suite drives VaultEventStream through an injected connector, because the one thing a test cannot do to a real network is make it fail on cue — and failure is the entire subject. The shell suite proves a notice produces a pull inside ten seconds against a sixty-second timer, so the timer cannot be what caused it. **Two limits, stated rather than left to be discovered.** Fan-out is in-process, so a deployment running more than one API replica only pushes for writes its own replica handled and the rest arrive on the timer. IVaultEventPublisher is the seam a PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY backplane implements and it is deliberately not implemented: an untested backplane is worse than a documented gap, and multiple replicas degrade to the behaviour before this commit rather than breaking. And a client is notified of its own writes; it pushed, so it already pulled, and the extra pass finds nothing. Suppressing that echo correctly needs a per-device identity on the socket, and the same user's other machines must still be told. Manual checks phase 15 covers what no test here can reach, which is the network in between: a proxy that will not upgrade, one that drops an idle socket without telling either end, a laptop lid, a token expiring. Every one of those is invisible inside a test host, and every check there passes only if the change arrives quickly *and* still arrives with the socket taken away. ADR 0012 also fixes one thing about the shared terminal session this is the transport for, so it need not be renegotiated later: session data will be binary frames on this same socket, because base64 in a JSON envelope is the wrong shape for the one payload here that is continuous rather than occasional. Two questions it explicitly does not answer by implication — whether those bytes go through the API at all, and what end-to-end encryption means when the second party watches a stream rather than holding a key — are ADR 0001 questions and get their own decision. 1512 tests pass. DodoSSH.SystemTests was not run — it needs the whole compose stack — so the end-to-end path is unverified for this change beyond what the manual checks describe.	2026-08-04 16:37:41 +02:00
jaap-jan	a0568d4c35	Merge branch 'main' into the vaults screen, and let it rotate keys too ... Main built vault key rotation while this branch was reshaping the screen that would drive it, so the two met in the same three files. Every other conflict was textual and resolved by taking both; these are the ones where a decision had to be made. **The view model.** Main taught TeamsViewModel three things and this branch had renamed and rewritten it into VaultsViewModel. All three are ported rather than dropped, because each is a behaviour rather than wording: adding somebody now wraps the vault to them on the spot instead of leaving SHARE KEY to be pressed, removing somebody rotates the vault and hands the new key to whoever is left, and a share reports how many generations were wrapped. The session calls they reach — ShareTeamVaultsAsync and RekeyTeamVaultsAsync — are scoped to a membership list rather than to one vault, and they are called that way here rather than narrowed: adding somebody is a change to the list, so every vault the list carries is one they can now fetch. This screen makes lists that carry one vault, so the sentences name one; where a list carries several, naming them all is the honest report, and the members section already says the list is shared. AddMemberAsync ran two lines over the length limit once the sharing was in it, so the calls behind it moved to AddOrInviteAsync and the three-way refusal to WhyNobodyCanBeAdded — the command reads as its guards now, which is what it was before the sharing arrived. **The tests.** Main's four new cases are ported to the vault-first API, including the one that matters most: the tampered key log is corrupted *before* the add, because the add is now a route to a wrap and a test that corrupted it afterwards would be asserting about the manual route only. SelectingAVault_ListsWhoHoldsAKey now expects two holders rather than one — main's fake records the creator's own self-grant, and a key-holder list that omitted it would show the one person who can certainly open a new vault as somebody who cannot. **The README.** The limits list is six rather than four or five: main's rotation entries and this branch's "a vault cannot be deleted" describe different things and both are true. "The rekey is flagged, never performed" is gone, since it is now performed, and M3 reads *Done* rather than *Done, except rekey*. One thing worth writing down that neither side had. An invitation claimed at sign-in still leaves the key owed, where an add does not: at the moment an invitation is issued there is no account and no published key to wrap to, and the claim happens on the invitee's machine, which holds nothing. Manual check 12.1 says so, because a reader who knows adding shares would otherwise read that step as stale. 1561 tests pass.	2026-08-04 13:58:56 +02:00
jaap-jan	8707629a6c	Make the vault the thing you share, and ask a host which one it lives in ... The teams screen listed teams that owned vaults, so sharing four servers with two colleagues meant creating a team, then a vault inside it, then wrapping a key. Two of those three steps are about a concept nobody arrives wanting. The screen now lists vaults: naming one creates the membership list that carries it, named after the vault and owned by you, and members, invitations, roles, hand-over and key holders all hang off the vault they apply to. Nothing on the server moved. VaultAccessService still resolves a shared vault through team_membership and every membership call still names a team id — what went is the requirement that anybody make one. The split the whole design rests on is untouched and is still what the screen is built around: adding somebody authorises the server to serve them, and only a machine holding the key can make the vault readable. ADR 0009 keeps its decision and gains an addendum recording which half of it a person is now asked about. The one place the team resurfaces is a membership list carrying several vaults, which this screen cannot produce and does not hide: the members section says so, because "adding somebody here adds them there" is precisely the fact a vault-shaped screen is in a position to conceal. Two things left the interface and one arrived. Creating a team is gone, and so is archiving one — it was only ever possible for a team owning no vaults, and a screen whose rows are vaults has no row for one, so the button would have been unreachable or always refused. The endpoint is unchanged and the screen states the limit instead, since a vault cannot be deleted at all. The exception is a create whose second call failed: cancelling that form archives the membership list it left behind, which is a deliberate departure from this client's rule against tidying up on the user's behalf, made because nothing else can reach it. What arrived is PUT /api/v1/vaults/{id}. Without it the screen loses its only editing action, since renaming the team behind a vault is invisible to everybody who was never shown the team. It is gated on PermissionFlags.Admin — the line UpdateTeamEndpoint already draws, because a name is what everybody in the vault sees it called rather than part of its contents — and it renames the owning team with it when that team carries nothing else, so the row an operator reads and the name a user says cannot drift apart. The slug never moves, for the reason it does not move on a team rename. The session edits its cached vault row rather than replacing it with the response, which deliberately carries no wrapped key. The host editor now asks which vault a host goes into, beside the name, while adding and only where there is more than one vault to write to. It is a second picker rather than the keychain screen's reused, and the two selections are separate on purpose: that one is a standing preference about where new items go, this is a field of the host in front of you, and binding both to one selection would mean a click on the other screen could move a half-typed host. An existing host is not offered it at all rather than offered it disabled — the two vaults are encrypted under different keys, so moving an item is a delete and a retype. That forced a fix worth naming. The group picker was built from the active vault's groups whatever vault the host was being filed into, so a host put in a shared vault could be filed under a group only its author can resolve — a colleague would see it filed under nothing, which is the quietest kind of wrong. Groups are now kept per vault and the picker follows the vault choice. Two renames, because the pair they would otherwise have made is a bug farm: ShellScreen.Vault became Keychain and VaultScreen became KeychainScreen, which is what the rail has always labelled that screen, leaving Vault for one vault's contents and Vaults for the vaults themselves. The enum values are unchanged; NavRail.axaml writes them as x:Static literals. 1536 tests pass, seven more than before. Five are new on the server — the rename endpoint's success, the team it does and does not take with it, the two refusals and the empty name — and the client suite gains six and folds four together, having lost the two about archiving a team.	2026-08-04 12:22:29 +02:00

jaap-jan	27bb1deb5d	Say what the docs describe, in the order they describe it ... A tidy across docs/, and every change is either something that had drifted from the code or something a reader would trip over. Nothing here is a rewrite: the audit documents keep their audit-time text, because that is what the scope was decided against, and corrections are marked in place the way each file already marks them. The one that matters is crypto.md. Section 4.3's resourceType table stopped at 13 while CryptoSpec.AadResourceType has carried ConnectionLogEntry = 14, ActivityLogEntry = 15 and ObjectStore = 16 since the logs and the buckets shipped — and items have been sealed under all three. That file is normative, so a table three item kinds behind the code is the sort of gap somebody reimplementing this would build against. Nothing on the wire or on disk changes; the list now says what the code has been doing, and it notes the thing that makes it worth reading carefully — 14, 15 and 16 are the first members that are not a fixed offset from their SyncEntityType counterparts, because 12 and 13 closed a hole and pushed the two enums apart. manual-checks.md had Phase 3 in an order nobody could follow: 3.2b, then 3.2a, then 3.4a, then 3.3. The letters are not the problem — they exist so a check can keep its number for life, which is what lets HostGridTests cite 7.6 and platform-flags.md cite 3.6-3.8 — so the sections are reordered and the numbers are untouched, and the intro now says the convention out loud rather than leaving the next person to infer it from two orphaned letters. Phases 8 and 9 got the horizontal rule every other phase has. The Phase 3 preamble still said "a sidebar that now draws headings", which has been two different interfaces for a while: the desktop's grid of cards and the phone's flat list. 7.6 cited MovingAHostToAGroup_FilesItAndLeavesItSelected, which was renamed in the commit before this one. Every other Type.Member citation across all six files was checked against src/ and tests/ the same way; those two were the only ones pointing at nothing. design-import-gaps.md's v3 section described the grid of cards without saying it holds one level, and its Groups row still said the sidebar emits one heading per group — true of the phone and not of the desktop. The team-groups row said a host a teammate filed "shows under UNGROUPED", which is now only half the story and the interesting half is why: the chip resolves through groupsById, which is every readable vault, while the level resolves through Groups, which is the active vault alone — so the card sits at the outermost level with its group's name still on it. Verified against both call sites rather than reasoned about. android-port.md's destination inventory is the desktop as it stood when the audit was taken and is deliberately left that way, with a note at its head saying so and two inline corrections where a reader would otherwise be misled: the rail lost FILES and S3 to fixed tabs, and the hosts sidebar became a grid — which is exactly why the headings this head draws are the phone's alone now. adding-hosts-on-the-phone.md is a plan marked built, so its two open questions are answered in place: GroupId did get into the merge test's with block, and the server test that asserts a plaintext ParentId is refused survived under a name that says what it means. Its "found on the way" note is marked still open, because it is: LocalCacheProtector.For has no arm for ConnectionLogEntry, ActivityLogEntry or ObjectStore, so ConflictStore.Record still throws for all three. That outlived the phases that shipped them, which is the drift a note like that exists to prevent. No code changed, so the suite is untouched at 1522 passing.	2026-08-04 10:15:02 +02:00
jaap-jan	cba6f435e9	Merge branch 'claude/vault-creation-sharing-62c0b6' ... # Conflicts: # README.md	2026-08-04 10:10:40 +02:00
jaap-jan	ebb88c8ae4	Give the phone both pickers, and settle who signs the APK ... The files screen could browse a remote and delete on it, and that was all: there is no browsable local filesystem on Android for a second pane to show, so the gesture the desktop is built around — choose on the left, press the arrow — has nothing to stand on. What replaces it is the platform's own two pickers. ADD FILES is ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, so a document is pointed at wherever it lives and goes to the directory showing; SAVE FILE is ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT for the selected row. Both stage through the application's cache, and that copy is a requirement rather than a shortcut. android-port.md predicted a picked document would be a third IRemoteFileStore beside SFTP and S3; it cannot be. FileTransferQueue seeks, because an upload resumes from the byte the last attempt reached, and a content:// URI has no path behind it, no length worth trusting, no promised seek and no grant that survives the document being edited underneath it. Copying first costs one class in the head and nothing at all in the shared layers, where the alternative was every resume rule rewritten around a stream that cannot rewind. The copy is deleted when the transfer completes, kept while it is stopped so RESUME still has something to read, and swept at the next launch — which is the one moment emptying that directory is provably safe, since nothing has queued anything yet. Coming out had a decision going in did not: when to ask where it goes. The save picker is raised before the transfer, so the download runs into the same staging directory and hands its bytes to a callback the head supplied, held against the transfer id so a RETRY still lands where the person pointed. Asking afterwards would put the picker minutes from the button that caused it and, on a phone, usually while the application is backgrounded and Android will not show one at all. The cost is that the picker creates its file when it is dismissed, so a download that then fails leaves an empty one there; that is said on the screen, in the README and in the manual checks rather than left to be discovered. A delivery that fails keeps the staged bytes for the sweep instead of throwing away the one copy of something just fetched over somebody's network. The foreground service counts transfers now, which is the half of it that matters most here: a shell survives backgrounding because somebody is looking at it, and an upload has to survive precisely when nobody is. Queued counts as active, so putting five files in and locking the phone moves five files. The seam was built for this and wired to () => 0 because nothing could fill the queue. Alongside it, ADR 0010 answers the second question android-port.md left open, and it had to be answered before the first release rather than at upload time: a new Play app must use App Bundles and therefore Play App Signing, and an installed app can only be updated by a package signed with the same key, so the first release picks an identity for good. The project holds the key, offline and never in CI — the workflow's package step now says so where somebody would break it — and a DodoSSH deployment never serves the client, because a download link on your own server hands the binary that holds the plaintext to the party the whole threat model is about. The README's M1 gap note was stale in both halves and is replaced by what is actually true: credentials have an editor and a REMEMBER tick, and the device key registers into the TPM under a CNG policy that makes the consent dialog a condition of using it. What is left is the floor rather than a gap — no TPM, or no Windows, means the passphrase on every launch.	2026-08-04 10:07:16 +02:00
jaap-jan	2a56ae3efb	Put a host inside the group it is filed under, rather than beside it ... The group cards were headings with a navigation gesture bolted on. Opening one narrowed the grid to its hosts, but the level above already held every host in the keychain — so a card could only ever subtract, filing something changed nothing but a chip, and a keychain with forty machines was forty cards however carefully anybody had arranged them. The trail said ALL HOSTS and meant it. So the grid holds one level of the tree, the way a directory pane holds one directory. A host filed under a group is inside that group and is not also on the screen the group's card sits on; the outermost level is what nothing has been filed into. A group is a place now, and the cards, the trail and the drop target were already the vocabulary for saying so. The find box is the exception and had to be one. Typed into, it searches the open group and everything under it, which from the outermost level is every machine in the keychain. A box scoped to the level it was typed on would answer "no host matches that" about a host this keychain has got, and finding a machine without first remembering where it was filed is most of what the box is for. The accent chip on a card is what tells a searched-up host from one that lives at this level. Two things came free with the change and are handled rather than left. The phone would have broken. Its list binds SidebarRows, which was a projection over VisibleHosts, and it has no group cards and nowhere to open one into — so level-scoping would have left it drawing only the hosts nobody had filed. RebuildSidebarRows takes its own pass over the hosts now, narrowed by the vault switches and the box and by nothing else, which is the whole tree flattened under headings: exactly what it drew before. And anything created inside a group disappeared the moment it was saved. The host editor opens on the group the screen is about rather than only on a selected card, and + NEW GROUP defaults its parent to the group that is open. Deliberately not the selected card there: a highlighted card is what EDIT and DELETE are aimed at, and reading it as "and the next group goes inside it" would nest one because somebody had clicked something. The host editor takes both because it always took the selection, and its picker shows the answer before anything is written. Dropping a host on a group card now takes the card off the grid, and the selection goes with it — Connect, Edit and Delete all read that property and none of them should be aimed at a card that has left the screen. The status line is what says where it went, which is why the manual check now asks for it to be read. Coming back out through the editor lands the host on this level again, and there the selection survives. An empty grid has two more things it can say: that every host is filed away, which the level-at-a-time grid made reachable and which is not the same sentence as "there are none", and that nothing under this group matches what was typed — with ALL HOSTS named as the way to widen it. Not changed, and next door: a group card counts the hosts filed directly under it, so a group holding only subgroups reads "0 hosts". That was already true and is more visible now that its subgroups' hosts are not spilled onto the level above. 1522 tests pass. Four are new — the level rule and the phone's flat list asserted together, the box reaching two levels down, the all-filed sentence, and where a host and a group made inside a group end up. MovingAHostToAGroup was asserting the old outcome and is rewritten rather than adjusted: it held that the host stayed selected, and what it holds now is that the host leaves the level it came from.	2026-08-04 09:51:55 +02:00
jaap-jan	7b7fd7b2ef	Make a vault the thing you create, and let a window set one aside ... Everything a shared vault needs was already here and arranged the wrong way round. A vault has to belong to a team, so creating one meant going to the teams screen, founding an organisation, and only then adding a vault to it — which the NEW VAULT button named after the team, so a team with three of them held three vaults called the same thing and nothing told them apart. Somebody who wants to share four servers with two colleagues is not asking to found anything. So the form asks for a name and nothing else. The team is derived from it, slug included, and created with this account as its owner; the vault goes inside; and the members, roles, invitations and key holders that hang off a team are all on screen the moment it exists. The tab strip's New vault entry lands there with the new vault selected, which is where the next thing anybody wants to do already is. That is two calls, and the first can succeed alone. When it does the team is kept: the id is minted once into pendingVaultTeamId, so pressing CREATE again resends the identical create — which the server treats as the same team — and retries the vault, and the message says all of that rather than "creating the vault failed". Archiving the orphan instead would be a client deleting something on the user's behalf because a later step failed, which is the kind of tidying that eventually archives a team somebody has just been added to. A slug taken by somebody else is retried once with a disambiguated one and never in a loop; a name with no a-z or 0-9 anywhere in it falls back to the team's own id rather than to a refusal pointing at a field nobody was shown. The other half is the caret beside Vaults. Being in four teams means four teams' machines in front of you all day, and the answer is a switch per vault rather than four sign-ins. Switching one off takes its hosts, groups, keys and pins off the screens that list them and does nothing else: it still syncs, its key stays in the keyring, it stays choosable as somewhere to file a new item, and a shown host that authenticates with a key filed in it still connects. That last one is what shaped the design. TryBuildAuthentication resolves a binding out of the keychain's typed list and a cross-vault binding is legal, so filtering the reload loops — the obvious implementation — would have turned a preference about reading into an outage. Only the projections a person reads consult IsVaultShown; every Reload*Async stays whole, including the dialled-endpoint set that decides which pins are described as unused, because that is a hint which invites deleting trust. Snippets, logs and buckets needed no code and the comment says so out loud: all three read ActiveVaultId alone, and the personal vault is drawn in the menu ticked and cannot be switched off — it is the active vault, the group and tag editors' target, and the save picker's fallback, so hiding it would empty half the application rather than filter it. The preference is a column on the cache's vault row, which is what makes it survive both a relaunch and the /me refresh that runs every minute: Apply does not touch it, deliberately, because the server has never been told which vaults this machine is showing. It is in the encrypted cache rather than settings.json because it is a list of vault ids and that file's own doc comment says what may go in it. VaultSession cannot see the type at all — ReadableVaults is what the sync loop walks, and a filter reaching it would be a vault that quietly stopped syncing, found out weeks later from a host that was never there. The strip's note refusing a MenuFlyout stands and is unchanged. This flyout sidesteps the question rather than answering it: the handler selects the Vaults tab first, which collapses the renderer, so nothing native is under the popup by the time it opens — the move QuickConnect already makes. A headless test asserts that ordering, which is as far as headless can go with no native window, and manual check 1.6 is the other half. The phone is out of scope on purpose: it has no tab strip and its teams screen's vault section is read-only. The plumbing is in Client.Shell, so it can adopt this later; until then nothing there is ever hidden, which is today's behaviour. 1514 tests pass. Fifteen are new in VaultVisibilityTests, and the ones worth naming are the guards: a hidden vault still syncs, still holds keys that authenticate hosts on screen, still appears in the save picker, and still counts towards which pins nothing dials. Not fixed, and noted here because it is next door: VaultGrantService's team-vault create refuses a taken vault id rather than returning the existing vault, while VaultSharing's own remark claims a create whose response was lost is safe to resend. A lost 200 therefore leaves a vault whose key the client's catch already zeroed, openable by nobody.	2026-08-03 21:52:27 +02:00

jaap-jan	0c0ac94312	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.	2026-08-03 16:16:18 +02:00
jaap-jan	38d8706784	Give the phone a way to enrol the fingerprint it already unlocks with ... The Android device key store, the biometric gate and the lock screen's UNLOCK WITH FINGERPRINT button have all shipped since this head was written, and none of them could ever run: that button appears only when a device key exists, and nothing on the phone could create one. `CanUnlockWithDevice` was false on every launch of every phone. This is the missing half. **The offer is on PREFERENCES**, which held a PendingScreen until it had a setting on it. It is there rather than beside the button it turns on because registering needs an unlocked keychain and a reachable server — the vault has to be open to seal the bundle, and the wrap has to reach the account or a phone somebody has lost could never be revoked. Neither is true on the lock screen. One card, and exactly one of its three blocks is ever drawn: the offer, the withdrawal, or the sentence saying this phone has nowhere to keep a key. That is `CanRegisterDevice` / `CanForgetDevice` / `HasNoDeviceKeyOption`, which are two flags and not one and its negation for the reason written where they are set — a phone with no screen lock and a phone already registered are both "cannot register", and only the second has anything to take back. The withdrawal has no confirmation, deliberately, and the sentence above it carries what the desktop puts in a tooltip this head has no room for. `StatusMessage` is on the screen because it is the only feedback this head has once the system's own dialogue has gone. **Two things would have been wrong in the feature the moment it worked.** `Environment.MachineName` answers `localhost` on Android, and registering names the device — so every phone would have arrived in the account's device list as another identical row, on the very screen a lost handset is revoked from. `PhoneEnvironment.DeviceName` was already written and never called; the shell now takes it as an optional constructor argument that the desktop does not pass, and it reaches enrollment, registration and every connection log entry. That was gap §7 of docs/android-port.md, and it is now closed. And the status line said "Waiting for Windows…" over an Android biometric prompt. `GestureWait` picks the sentence from the platform rather than from a head, unlike the device name beside it: a device name is a fact about one handset only the head can read, and which dialogue appears is a fact about the operating system this assembly is running on. Two tests cover the seam — the injected name reaching the account, and the default still being this machine's own name — and `FakeVaultServer` records what each device called itself, because the name is the only part of a registration a person ever reads. The gesture itself is unreachable from any test process, so Phase 13 of docs/manual-checks.md carries five checks, including that enrolling a new fingerprint in Android's own Settings destroys the key. That one is the property that makes this a fast path rather than a weakening of the passphrase.	2026-08-03 16:12:50 +02:00
jaap-jan	0c4bfea2a8	Merge branch 'claude/group-creation-hosts-dragdrop-56c6a3'	2026-08-03 15:50:12 +02:00
jaap-jan	f9d08b738c	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.	2026-08-03 15:49:58 +02:00
jaap-jan	562fb444a8	Merge main into the phone connections branch ... Main had already taken this branch's first two commits, so what merged is the Connections work against three things that landed beside it. Four of the six conflicts were prose about arrangements both sides changed; two were real. **The phone hub gained a Teams row while this branch was moving the keychain onto it.** Both are additions to `IsMoreSurface` and both belong: teams because the desktop reaches them from its rail and the phone through the hub, the keychain because a bottom bar is for the places a session moves between. The membership test, the back gesture's first case and the hub's own arithmetic all take the union. The distinction is now written down rather than implied — teams is the design's count plus one, and the keychain is the only rearrangement of it: the bar lost a slot to gain that row. **`ConnectAndAnnounceAsync` was the real one.** Main gave it `RememberTypedPasswordAsync`, which binds the password that just worked to the host it worked on; this branch had replaced the `HostRowViewModel` that method needs with a four-field `ConnectionTarget`. Keeping both meant deciding what a manual connection does with a password that succeeded, and the answer was already written on the screen it is typed into: nothing. There is no item to bind a credential to and none to bind it on, and that path saves nothing by design. So `ConnectionTarget` carries the row again — as a nullable, in place of the host id it had, with `HostId` derived from it. Two things read it and both are things that can only be done to a keychain item rather than to an address: naming the log entry, and keeping the password. Null is not missing data there; it is the whole of what makes the manual path different, and having one field rather than two keeps "was this a keychain host" a question with one answer. The desktop's rail lost SFTP and S3 to the tab strip on main, so the README's "a rail with nine slots has room" was true when it was written this afternoon and is not now. It says the room rather than the number. Phase 11's four new device checks and main's Phase 12 on teams were the same conflict twice — two appends to the end of one file — and both are kept. Verified after resolving: the solution builds, the Android head builds clean, and 837 tests pass across the seven client suites, including main's own additions (233 shell, 79 layout, 240 domain, 118 sync, 54 session, 74 terminal, 39 storage).	2026-08-03 15:35:49 +02:00
jaap-jan	f5ffd1983d	Make Connections the place a connection is made, and put the keychain away ... Four changes to the phone, and the last one needed the connect path taking apart. **The bottom bar is three entries.** The keychain moved onto the hub, which is now SETTINGS with a gear rather than MORE with a hamburger. A bottom bar is for the places a session moves between, and keys, credentials and tags are managed occasionally and then left alone — which is the shape of everything already behind that hub. With the keychain on it, "more" stopped being a description of what is there. `ShellScreen.Vault` joining `IsMoreSurface` is the whole of the change: the tab that lights, the header that stands down and the back gesture's first case all read that one property, which is why the switch mirrors it by construction rather than by a second list. The keychain screen grew the header every hub screen has, because the shell's own is not above it any more and without one there would be no back arrow and nothing saying what the list is. The desktop keeps its Keychain rail entry. A rail with nine slots has room, so this is the second thing the two heads arrange deliberately differently, after the hub itself. **Terminal became Connections**, and the word does more work than a rename usually does — see below. The enum member stays `ShellSurface.Terminal`, for the reason the tab was never called Vault: the surface is a terminal, and the word a user reads is the product's. **The + puts the software keyboard away.** It sits above a terminal somebody is typing into, so the sheet it raises was arriving underneath a keyboard covering the half of the screen the sheet is on — and worse, laid out into the strip left above it, since the keyboard's inset shortens everything this head draws. Avalonia cannot do this and it is worth knowing why: `TopLevel.InputPane` reports the keyboard and offers nothing that closes one, because the framework's model is that it belongs to whatever has focus — and this keyboard was raised by the `WebView`'s own text input, by a native view Avalonia's focus manager never owned. Clearing Avalonia's focus leaves it exactly where it is. So `Platform/SoftKeyboard.cs` asks `InputMethodManager`, off the decor view's window token, and every step of it is allowed to be absent. **With nothing open, Connections is a connect screen rather than an empty state.** A box taking `user@host` or `user@host:port`, a password, and the machines most recently connected to underneath. The box is the only path in this product to a machine the keychain has never heard of, which is a real case it had no answer for: an address somebody was handed five minutes ago. A typed password and nothing else — offering the keychain's keys would be a second binding resolution beside `TryBuildAuthentication`, and the argument against a second one is written there at length. Nothing typed is saved, and the screen says so: a machine worth keeping belongs on HOSTS, where it can carry a key, a group's defaults and a name. The recents come out of the vault's own connection log rather than a list kept in this process, so they survive a restart and arrive on a new phone with the keychain. Deduplicated by address, because this is a list of places and not of events, and capped at six so the box stays above the keyboard. Emptied when the vault is — they are decrypted entries naming where somebody works, and a lock that left them on screen would be a list still readable after every key that decrypted it was zeroed. Tapping one leads to whichever of two things it is: a keychain host goes to that host's connect bar, where its key, its password box and its refusals already live, and an address goes back into the box, without the password, whose absence is the point of that path rather than a gap in it. **The connect path was shaped like `HostRowViewModel` all the way down.** The log entry, the identification, the failure record and the retry all took a row. They take a four-field `ConnectionTarget` now, so a connection to an address shares the ladder of refusals, the host-key question and the tab's lifecycle rather than growing a second copy of them. `ConnectionRecorder.Record` and `Identify` have always taken a nullable host id, so the log could already hold a connection with no item behind it. One behavioural change falls out of that and it is the one to know about: **trusting a host key now retries the attempt that raised the question** instead of re-running whichever host is selected. That was correct while a selected host was the only way to connect; with a manual target it would dial a different machine, or refuse with "choose a host first" over a key the user has just agreed to trust. The test selects a host first, so a regression cannot pass by connecting to the wrong thing successfully. `LogsViewModel.ReloadAsync` split so the connections half can be read alone. Reading the keychain's activity for a screen that offers neither would double the decryption on the list that was already the expensive one. Twelve tests: the parse grammar as a theory over seven refusals, the dialled request, the retry, and both branches of tapping a recent row. The recents rows are built by hand rather than connected-and-closed — what those tests are about is which branch a row takes, and driving it through the recorder's queue would test the recorder, which `DodoSSH.Client.Session.Tests` already does. What needs a device is phases 11.6 to 11.9 of `docs/manual-checks.md`.	2026-08-03 15:26:47 +02:00
jaap-jan	1b7df47537	Merge main into the desktop redesign branch ... Four conflicts. Three were two people adding to the same spot, and one was a real collision: main gave the connect bar a REMEMBER tick in the same pass that this branch took the connect bar off the hosts screen. REMEMBER is now in the drawer, beside the password box it qualifies. Nothing about the feature changed — RemembersConnectPassword, its refusal to fire until the remote has accepted the password, and the six tests over it are main's untouched — only where it is drawn. The move improves it slightly and it is worth saying why rather than claiming a merge was neutral: the bar had one row and had to fit the box, the tick, the authentication note and CONNECT along it, which is why the tick was a bare "REMEMBER" in tracked capitals. A column has room to put it under the box as a sentence, where it reads as a property of the password rather than as a fourth control in a row. MainWindowViewModel: both sides added members after ShowTerminal — the desktop's three fixed tabs here, the phone's connect menu on main. They do not interact, so both are kept, each under its own heading. TeamsScreen: main added the team's own RENAME, HAND OVER and ARCHIVE, a member's LastActive, the role a new member arrives as, and the KEY HOLDERS list. This branch had only bumped the file's font sizes a point. Resolved by taking main's file whole and re-running the bump over it, so the new controls join the scale rather than sitting a point below everything around them. README: both sides described a different head's third pass in the same paragraph. Both kept. Two things checked rather than assumed, because this branch moved the furniture the merged commits sit on. The chrome heights main's terminal work touched are the phone's, not the desktop's — 44, 42 and 24 are unchanged, so the layout harness's budget still describes the window. And main's keychain DELETE did not reach VaultScreen.axaml, whose header this branch rearranged, so the five buttons that overflowed at the larger type are still five. 2415 tests pass, up from 2369 by the 46 main brought.	2026-08-03 15:17:55 +02:00
jaap-jan	208443b932	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.	2026-08-03 15:08:48 +02:00

jaap-jan	a2f0d4813a	Take a third off both of the terminal's bars, and centre the cross in a tab ... The bar the last commit put above a shell opened at 52 and the accessory row under it at 50, both inherited from the arrangement they replaced rather than measured against the one they are in. Neither is carrying a title or a sentence any more — the top one holds two icons and a row of pills, the bottom one a line of keys — so a third comes off each: 35 and 33. Every height inside them came down too. The pills go 44 to 30, the icon squares 34 rather than 44, the keys 38 to 30. A bar that shrank around contents that did not would not have saved anything; it would have moved the clipping somewhere harder to see. Two of those numbers had arguments written against them and both arguments change rather than disappear. The pill was 44 because it contains the one control on this head that is destructive with neither confirmation nor undo, and that is now carried by width — the cross keeps its full 44-pixel column, and what it gave up is vertical slack in a row where nothing sits above or below it to be hit by mistake. The keys were 38 for the same kind of reason, and the 44 that mattered there was always the width: ten keys flexed across 360dp is 32 pixels each, which is what the horizontal minimum exists to refuse. Both comments say what replaced the reasoning rather than quietly showing a smaller number. The close cross was not vertically centred, and it was not a rounding error. `Button.row` sets `HorizontalContentAlignment` and says nothing about the other axis, so the glyph sat against the top of its own column while the label beside it was centred by the stack panel it lives in. On the control that ends a session that reads as a misprint. Both alignments are now stated, on the button and on the text. The `+` loses the accent and becomes the same `Button.icon` as the arrow across from it. The two are a matched pair at either end of one bar — one leaves this surface, one adds to it — and an accented one ranked itself above the way out. The accent fill belongs to the floating `+` on HOSTS, which is the only action on its screen; this one is not. Five pixels between the renderer and the keys, as a margin rather than a border. The renderer is a native child view and nothing Avalonia draws can sit on top of it, so a hairline there would have to be a row of its own — and a terminal whose last line of output is flush against a row of grey keys reads as one surface that has gone wrong rather than as two that are different things. The four places that named the old bar height are corrected, including manual check 11.5, which asserted a number that would now fail.	2026-08-03 14:54:16 +02:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	7e4e068aab	Merge main into the teams branch ... Two conflicts, and both were two people counting the same things differently rather than disagreeing about what the code should do. PhoneShell's header comment. The branch made "the five hub screens" numberless, because TEAMS made it six and a number in that sentence had already gone stale once. Main corrected "three destinations" to "two" in the same sentence, because giving a shell the whole phone took the terminal out of the set the header is drawn on. Both are right and neither noticed the other: the header now stays on the hub's screens and on the two top-level destinations, which is Hosts and Keychain. The manual checks. Both sides appended a Phase 10 — main added the software keyboard and the phone's terminal surface as 10 and 11, the branch added Teams. Nothing about them overlaps, so the resolution is to keep all three in the order they were written and renumber Teams to Phase 12, its subsections and the one cross-reference inside 12.1 with it. Main's two phases keep the numbers they already carry in its history, since renumbering those would move headings somebody may already have linked to. Everything else merged without a conflict, and the two places worth checking afterwards both held: IsMoreSurface and the first case of PhoneShell.OnBackRequested each kept ShellScreen.Team alongside main's edits. Those two are one fact in two places, so a merge that dropped Team from either would have trapped the user on the teams screen with the MORE tab dark. Verified after resolving: solution builds with no errors and no new warnings, the Android head builds, and every suite passes — App 214, Layout 73, Api 162, Infrastructure 34, Contracts 25, Session 54. App gained the three shell-flow tests main brought with it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-03 14:40:27 +02:00
jaap-jan	80ae586fc4	Give a shell the whole phone, and one bar to leave it by ... A connected phone was drawing five rows of chrome around the thing the user opened it for. The vault header at 56, the terminal's own tab strip at 52, a connection line at 36, the shells strip at 46 and the four-entry bottom bar at 64: at 360dp that is about a third of the display, and every row of it was about somewhere the user was not. What replaces them is one 52-pixel bar drawn by the surface itself — back on the left, the session pills, and a `+` across from them — and then the terminal. Three of those rows belong to `PhoneShell` and each is now bound on `IsShowingPages`. That is the same question asked once rather than three conditions that could drift: the surface is either a page or a terminal, and these are the chrome a page has. The header needed a wrapper because Avalonia's bindings have no "and" and it already had a condition of its own; the strip needed one for the same reason. The bottom bar had none and is bound directly. The back arrow goes to the page the terminal was opened over rather than to Hosts by name, because the system back gesture already picks that and an arrow landing somewhere else would be the second of two answers to one question. The bar's `+` raises a sheet offering the three connections this application can make — a shell, a host's files over SFTP, a bucket — since SFTP and S3 used to be two taps through the bottom bar's MORE and the bar is not on screen here. A control that replaced it and led to one of the three would have quietly removed the other two. Two things moved rather than being dropped. The text-size buttons are pinned at the right-hand end of the accessory key row, outside its scroller: the connection line existed to keep them from scrolling out of reach, and being outside the scroller answers that argument rather than abandoning it. The dialled address moved onto the connecting card, which is the moment it is worth reading — what is being connected to, before anything has answered — and after that the shell's own prompt says it more accurately than a header derived from the keychain ever did. The sheet collapses the renderer rather than covering it. Whether Android's `WebView` composites above Avalonia content the way Win32's child window does is still unverified — `docs/android-port.md` has said so since the port — so this follows the desktop's palette and gives up the rectangle outright, which is correct under either answer. It collapses `IsTerminalShowing` and not `IsTerminalSurface`, because the bar the sheet was raised from is part of that surface and dropping it would take the bar, the tabs and the whole arrangement with it, leaving the sheet floating over the page underneath. `OnSurfaceChanged` is the one place the flag is lowered, and that is the load- bearing half. Every way out of a terminal ends there — a destination, the files screen, the palette connecting to a host, closing the last tab, a lock — and each of them would otherwise leave a sheet set over a page. Not merely untidy: the flag holds the renderer blank, so the next return to the terminal would draw the menu again over a rectangle kept blank by it. Opening is refused off the terminal surface for the same reason from the other direction. The back gesture gains a guard above the switch, in the shape of the editor guard that arrived with the phone's `+`. It is nearer than any of them: with no header and no bottom bar, while the menu is up that gesture is the only way off it other than the scrim and CANCEL. The bottom bar's Terminal entry lost its `IsCurrent` binding. The bar is collapsed on that surface, so the binding could only ever be read as false, and a rule about a state the control cannot be in is a claim that it can. Three tests in `ShellFlowTests`, which is where shared state-machine behaviour for this head goes: the collapse and its recovery, the refusal to open over a page, and the sheet lowering both by a menu entry and by a route it was never wired to. Everything visual needs a device, so it is phase 11 of `docs/manual-checks.md` — and 11.2 is the check that would finally settle the compositing question this head has carried as unverified since the port.	2026-08-03 14:33:16 +02:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	a43286ece8	Let a team change hands, and be joined by somebody with no account yet ... M3 built teams and stopped short of the two operations that decide who controls one. Both were written down as refusals rather than omissions: ADR 0009 listed ownership transfer under "deliberately not built", and design-import-gaps said an invitation needed "a token with a lifetime and an outbound mail path". One of those reasons had expired and the other never applied — an invitation does not need a token if it is not a thing anybody presents. Handing a team over is one write. The member you name becomes owner and you become an admin, in a single transaction, because ownership is sole: promoting first leaves the team owned twice, demoting first leaves it owned by nobody, and there is nobody left with the authority to finish a transfer that stopped in the middle. That is also why it is not two calls to the role endpoint, which refuses Owner outright. The outgoing owner is demoted rather than removed — removing them would revoke their vault key grants and flag every team vault for rekey, which is a far larger act than the one asked for, and somebody handing over a team is usually staying in it. It unblocks the thing that was impossible before: an owner can now leave, by handing the team on first. An invitation is a standing instruction rather than a message. This server has no outbound mail path, so nothing is sent and there is nothing for the invitee to present. The row says the next account signing in with that address joins this team at this role, and telling them to sign in is the caller's job over a channel this server does not carry. A link nobody can deliver would be worse than none. It lives in its own table rather than becoming a membership with MembershipStatus.Invited, and that member stays unwritten for the reason it always was: team_membership.user_id is not nullable and carries a foreign key, so somebody who has never signed in has nothing for that row to point at. Widening it would make the unique index on (team, user) meaningless, because PostgreSQL counts every NULL as distinct. Verification is the security boundary, and nothing in this server read it before. A claim requires the access token to assert email_verified. An invitation decides what the server will serve, so one claimable by anybody able to obtain a token carrying somebody else's address is a way into a team — which is precisely the attack OidcOptions.AllowEmailLinking exists to refuse, and it would have been reintroduced by the back door. There is deliberately no setting that relaxes it: a flag that exists is one somebody turns on for the afternoon their provider is misconfigured. Absence is refused rather than trusted, and logged, because a provider that never sends the claim otherwise leaves every invitation pending with nothing anywhere saying why. Claiming happens at just-in-time provisioning and again on an hourly sweep. The sweep is what makes it recoverable rather than one-shot — an invitation issued between an account being created and that person next signing in would otherwise be stranded for ever — and it shares its rate with the last-seen write because both are housekeeping nobody is waiting on. Archiving is refused while a team owns a vault, and that refusal is the end of the road rather than a step on it. A team vault is readable because of membership, so archiving one that still owned vaults would take them away from everybody holding a key, including the caller, quietly and all at once. Nothing in this product deletes a vault, so no order of operations gets past it today — which is stated with a count of what is in the way, for the reason the SFTP layer refuses a recursive delete: a refusal is visible and a quiet removal is not. It is owner-only, as handing over is; renaming is not, because a rename is visible to everybody and reversible by anybody who can do it. The slug is not renameable at all: it is unique only among live teams, so a rename could take one an archived team is still holding, and that team could then never be restored. LAST ACTIVE is real and coarse on purpose. UserAccount.LastSeenAtUtc is refreshed on ordinary authenticated requests, at most once per account per hour, through ExecuteUpdateAsync — user_account carries the xmin concurrency token, so a read-then-write on the hot path would start losing races between one user's own overlapping requests. An hour is the granularity the question is actually asked at, and the interface draws it to the day rather than the minute so it does not read as a precision that is not there. The remarks in Contracts and in the view model that argued at length for the column's absence are rewritten rather than extended; both had become false. Two endpoints already existed and nothing called them. ChangeTeamMemberRole and ListVaultGrants have been reachable since M3. The role picker refuses Owner itself rather than letting the server do it, since the interface already knew the rule; the key-holder list sits under the vault rather than beside the member, because a grant is per vault and a count on a member row would imply per-item sharing, which is M5. It lists withdrawn and stale grants and says which they are — a list that dropped them would show a departed colleague as merely absent rather than as somebody whose key was taken away — and staleness is decided by comparing generations, since a grant can be Active and still open nothing. ADD MEMBER stopped being a dead end. An address the directory did not know used to end at a sentence telling the user their colleague had to sign in first. It invites them instead, from the same button, because which of the two applies is a fact about the server's account table rather than about what the user is doing; which one happened is reported afterwards, because that decides what they do next. An address that merely has an account is invited rather than refused: refusing would have made the endpoint an oracle for which addresses have accounts here, answerable by anybody willing to create a team first. The phone has a TEAMS screen, behind MORE, and it is the reverse of every other row in design-import-gaps: a shipped screen the design had no slot for. It is there because an invitation is claimed by signing in, so somebody told they are now in a team is at least as likely to be holding a phone — and a membership visible only on a head they never installed is one they cannot see. It draws SHARE KEY and nothing that takes something away: wrapping a key is the one act on that screen a server cannot perform at all, and the desktop guards its revocations with a tooltip, which is a control a touch screen cannot show. Two defects were found by an adversarial pass and both were green against the whole suite at the time. The owner-only check on archiving and handing over had been weakened to the admin check while their messages and comments still said owner — and since nothing behind the archive endpoint re-checks it, an admin the owner had promoted could have archived the team out from under them. And the rename endpoint built its response with a hardcoded Owner role, so an admin who renamed a team was handed a summary claiming they owned it, and a client trusting that instead of re-listing would have offered them the two owner-only buttons the server then refuses. The new table gets its constraints tested rather than merely migrated: live uniqueness per (team, address), the citext proof that an address typed by a person matches one cased by a provider, and reissue after both revocation and acceptance. The teams screen gets its first entries in the layout suite, at the minimum window with every list populated and with each of the two states that cover half of it — it had none, and it just grew four sections and a second line in the member row.

jaap-jan	35387b1c9d	Tell the phone's keyboard these are secrets, and get it off the box ... Five boxes on this head take a secret and every one of them was drawing dots and saying nothing. `PasswordChar` is a screen property: Windows has no opinion about what is being typed into a text box, so the desktop head needs nothing more. Android's software keyboard has an opinion, and left at its default it read a vault passphrase as prose — completions offered in the suggestion strip above the box, and the passphrase itself learned into the IME's dictionary. Dots on screen with a word bar over them is the worst of both: hidden from the person typing it and offered to the room. `TextInputOptions.ContentType` is the property the Android backend maps onto `InputType`, and it is what turns both off. Both attributes now live in one `TextBox.secret` class rather than being repeated per box, because they are two halves of one fact and the next box added would have got one of them. The keyboard also went on covering whichever box had raised it. That is in `PhoneShell` rather than on each screen: everything the phone draws is inside its one root panel, so a bottom margin shortens all eleven screens at once, and a screen added later cannot forget to handle something it never had to know about. Two mechanisms, and it matters that neither is a backstop for the other. Before Android 15 the activity now declares `AdjustResize` and the platform shortens the window itself; left unspecified Android chooses, and what it chooses for a window whose entire content is one native view — which is what an Avalonia surface is — is to pan, sliding the window by however much it thinks the focused native view needs and leaving the box exactly where it was. That was the bug. From Android 15 the attribute is ignored, edge-to-edge being enforced and the window no longer resized for the keyboard at all, and the reported inset is what there is. Each is dead where the other applies — where the window resizes, the inset arrives already consumed and measures zero — which is why the margin comes from the inset alone. Both added together would strand the interface an entire keyboard above the keyboard. Scrolling the box back into view keys off the size change rather than off either mechanism. `ScrollViewer` already brings a newly focused child into view; what it cannot know is that the visible region shrank after the focus, and both ways of losing that region end in the same resize. None of it is reachable by a test. The software keyboard is an inset the platform reports and a headless top level reports none, so phase 10 of `docs/manual-checks.md` is the whole of the verification — including the note to run it on one device each side of Android 15, since a build exercised on only one of the two will look correct and be half broken.	2026-08-03 13:55:08 +02:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	16e0051e89	Draw the tags that have been storable and invisible since the domain landed ... `Tag` has been a full item kind for three commits — a table, a migration, a codec, a merge, a cipher — and `HostSecret.TagIds` has merged per tag so two people tagging one host both keep theirs. Nothing drew a chip. The tags a client could store were ones nothing here could see. Chips on host rows, both heads, from names resolved through the tag list rather than ids: a tag that does not resolve is left out rather than drawn, because it means the tag was deleted elsewhere or belongs to a vault this session cannot read, and a host with one chip fewer is the honest answer where a host wearing a GUID is not. The id stays on the host, so the chip comes back if the tag does. The picker is chips that toggle, matching the chips on the row behind it. A list of names to tick would make the user match an entry to a chip they can see two inches away. The box under it creates a tag and puts it on straight away, because that is when a tag is usually wanted — while tagging a host and finding it does not exist yet. Unlike every other field in that editor it writes to the keychain immediately, since a host can only name an id that exists; cancelling therefore leaves the tag behind, which is honest rather than hidden. A name that already exists is used rather than repeated: two tags called "staging" are storable and must stay storable, because two people creating one offline is how it happens, but typing it into a box beside a chip of the same name is a slip. Renaming and deleting needed a home, or the picker fills with names nobody uses and never empties. That home is a TAGS category on the keychain screen, where every other item kind is managed — and renaming is the whole reason a tag is an item rather than a string repeated inside twenty payloads: it is one write, and no host is touched. The delete confirmation counts the hosts wearing it, which is the difference between a tidy-up and losing a filter somebody relies on. The desktop host editor now scrolls, and that is not a tidy-up. A picker's height is a chip per tag in the keychain, wrapped, so somebody with fifteen tags has an editor half again as tall as somebody with three; no fixed height holds that, and trimming other fields to buy room only moves the failure to whoever has sixteen. The layout suite caught it the moment its seeder grew tags — which is why the seeder now creates ten rather than three, enough to drive the pane onto its cap so the capped shape is what gets measured rather than one no real keychain produces. The cost is named where it is paid: the harness skips anything inside a ScrollViewer, so from here it certifies that pane fits the column rather than that every field in it does. Two smaller things fell out. Five buttons overflowed the keychain header by a few pixels, so GENERATE lost the word KEY — its tooltip carries what the word did. And TotalItemCount had been counting keys and credentials while ALL showed four kinds; it counts all five now, because a number under a chip that disagrees with the rows it opens is worse than no number. An adversarial review of this change found two defects it had introduced, both green against the full suite. NewTag filed into the "new items go to" picker while the tag list only ever holds the active vault's — so with a team vault selected a tag would be created, queued for push, reported as added, and then invisible, with no row, no count, no picker entry and nothing able to rename or delete it, because there is no active-vault switcher to go and find it with. The comment on the host editor's own create path states that exact rule; this was the one place that broke it, and NewObjectStore, whose list is likewise active-vault-only, already ignored the picker. And the tag editor was the only one of five that did not disarm a pending deletion when it opened, so arming a key's deletion and then pressing + TAG left a live DELETE for an item the user was no longer looking at, directly above the boxes they were typing into. Both are fixed, both have a test, and the first was checked against the broken version before being kept. The same review caught a doc comment that had been inserted between SnippetRowViewModel's summary and its declaration, silently taking it over. Verified by the whole suite on a clean build: 1413 tests over nineteen projects, none failing. Both heads build. The rectangles the layout suite cannot reach are phase 9 of docs/manual-checks.md.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	4925dcf179	Give the phone the + it was promised, and the editors behind it ... Steps 5 and 6 of docs/adding-hosts-on-the-phone.md, which finishes it. The phone can now put things in a keychain rather than only read one. The floating + arrives three designs after it was first asked for. It was refused twice on the honest grounds that it would open an editor this head had not got — and that stopped being true when steps 1 to 4 landed. It raises a sheet rather than a form, because "add" on this screen has been two operations since groups existed: a host, or a group to file hosts under. Both editors are cards in the list's own row, swapped for the list rather than stacked over it, following SnippetsScreen and for the reason written there: a form on top of the list hides what it is about. There is still no dialog and no editor screen anywhere on this head. The port and username boxes may be left empty, and the greyed text inside each is what the host will actually use — following the group picker as it moves, so the form says what leaving a box blank will do rather than making it a guess. The back gesture gains a guard above the switch rather than a case inside it. An editor is not a screen and has no entry there, and it is strictly nearer: the sheet sits over the editor's own screen, so back lowers whatever is topmost before it considers moving between screens. A group editor needs a way in, and the phone draws no groups panel — so the heading in the host list gains a pencil. A + that adds groups with no way to correct one is the same strange thing to ship as one that adds hosts with no way to correct one, and worse: a group's defaults are what every host beneath it falls back to. Scouting step 6 turned up a bug worth more than the prose it was looking for. ReloadGroupsAsync read the active vault alone, which was a cosmetic limitation while a group carried only a name — a teammate's host showed under UNGROUPED and nothing else was lost. Since a group began lending a port, a username and a binding, the same omission silently dropped all three: that host would dial 22 as nobody while the machine is on 2222 as deploy, with nothing on screen saying why. The resolution map now spans every readable vault. The editable list stays narrow, because a row shown across vaults needs a vault id for rename and delete and two vaults may hold groups with one name — but the map needs none of that, since it is only ever asked what an id says. An adversarial review of this change found something I had written a comment denying. The + was a child of the outer Panel rather than of the list's row, so it anchored to the bottom of the screen and sat squarely over the new EDIT button and the lower edge of CONNECT — and because a Panel hit-tests its last-declared child first, tapping the right end of EDIT would have raised the add sheet. The comment beside it claimed it was in the list's row precisely so that could not happen, and manual-checks 8.1 names that exact failure. It is in Grid.Row 2 now. The same pass caught a connect bar that was disabled rather than hidden while its own comment said hidden, a scrim that would have flashed its default pressed chrome across the screen, a fab comment claiming an accent fill no other button had when Button.primary has it, and a back-gesture remark naming two view-model properties that do not exist anywhere in the repo. That last one came from this plan, which invented IsVaultsSurface and IsConnectionsSurface, and pointed step 6 at a ConnectionsScreen.axaml that has never existed. Both are corrected in the plan rather than quietly worked around, along with a fourth "groups are flat" site in README.md that step 1 missed. The phone's rectangles are not measurable and structurally never will be: the layout suite is net10.0, the Android head is net10.0-android, and Avalonia's application is a one-shot process global — so a second head cannot share the process even if the reference were possible. Everything the sheet and both editors bind to is shared and is tested headlessly here; the pixels go to docs/manual-checks.md phase 8, nine checks, which is where this project already sends what it cannot assert. Tags remain the one thing asked for that did not ship. Tag is a full item kind and TagIds merges, encodes and resolves, but no screen draws a chip or offers to add one, so the tags a client can store are ones nothing here can see. Both editors carry the set through a save untouched so a client that can set them does not lose them. Recorded as half-shipped in docs/design-import-gaps.md rather than quietly left out. Verified by the whole suite: 1402 tests over nineteen projects, none failing. Both heads build. Nothing seen on a display — phase 8 is what that costs.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	3627021420	Give the desktop the second design too, and the window the size it now needs ... The desktop v2 design is the other half of the one the phone took last commit, and this is its chrome: a 190-pixel labelled sidebar where the 54-pixel icon rail was, a titlebar with the search box centred in it, and session tabs drawn as pills. The palette was already here — it is shared, and moved when the phone's did — so what this changes is shape rather than colour. **The window's minimum grew, and by exactly what v2 added.** The sidebar is 136 wider and the chrome 14 taller, so 880x560 became 1016x574. That is not a round number somebody liked: it leaves every screen the same 826x464 it was designed against, which is the arithmetic the layout suite is built on. Four of the tables stop fitting at 690 wide, so widening the sidebar and leaving the window alone would have broken them somewhere no test was looking. LayoutHarness carries the new constants and the suite still passes at the minimum, which is the whole reason it exists. The rail's five-character abbreviations are gone with the width that caused them — PINS and SNIPS are Pins and Snippets again — and each row gains a glyph and a count. A count is drawn only where one is real, so SFTP, Logs and Preferences show nothing rather than a zero: a transfer queue's depth is not how many files a screen holds, and a log has no total until it is read. The count beside Pins is the vault's own, not the Pins screen's VisiblePins, which is the filtered list and would have made the sidebar count whatever somebody had just typed into a filter box on another screen. Teams has no count for a related reason: they are read from the server when that screen is opened rather than on unlock, so a number there would read 0 until somebody had already been to look. One colour moved with it, finishing what the repalette started: the live-session summaries on the unlock and sign-out cards were Info, so the two heads disagreed about a fact the phone paints green. They match again. **Buckets became a destination rather than a mode**, which is what the design draws and what the phone already does. The HOST / BUCKET pair inside the files screen is gone; ShellScreen.Buckets draws the same TransfersScreen with the other picker, and the sidebar entry is what sets it. That also settles an old disagreement rather than merely moving it: TotalItemCount is keys plus passwords and excludes buckets, so the number beside the keychain used to disagree with the list under it, and now counts what that screen shows. There is one session behind both file destinations, so asking for the other kind while something is open is refused rather than obeyed — and refusing means staying put. An earlier turn of this had it move anyway and only decline to switch the picker, which put the S3 entry in the sidebar over a screen still listing an SFTP host: two pieces of chrome disagreeing about where you are, which is worse than the navigation simply not happening. The message that says so goes to Transfers.Status, which turned out to be drawn in the same grid cell as the connected chip — survivable while it was mostly read before connecting, and not once a refusal reports itself there. It has its own column now. The design has nine entries' worth of screens and draws five. Pins, Teams, Import and Preferences are built, working screens, so they keep their entries — the sidebar is labelled now and has the room, and dropping an entry would have stranded a screen rather than simplified anything. The Team vault card the design pins to the foot is not drawn: it is a second route to a screen already in the list, carrying a seat count nothing here produces. **The status bar survives the design that deletes it**, cut down to one thing. Two of the three facts it carried moved into the titlebar with v2 — the sync word is beside its dot and the shortcut hint is inside the box that uses it — so those are gone from it rather than printed twice. The third is Vault.Status, the only channel this application has for saying a save failed or a merge picked a winner. The design is a mock-up of an afternoon that goes well and has nowhere to put a sentence like that; dropping the bar would have meant dropping the sentence or repeating it on nine screens. What v2 draws and this does not is in docs/design-import-gaps.md, and it is the same list as the phone's for the same reasons: the forwarding screen and both its chips, the host detail's fingerprint, tags and last-session cards, the keychain's rotate button, the logs' FOLLOW pill and severity filters, and the session footer's latency. The terminal is not inset behind a rounded frame either — it is a native child window that composites above everything Avalonia paints, so the frame would clip nothing, which is the same answer the phone gave. **The light theme is not built.** Its accent is #6D5AE6, a different hue rather than a tint of the dark one, so it needs every colour doubled, a variant to switch on, the renderer's own page switching with it, and contrast checked twice. That is a piece of work rather than a setting, and it is separable from the layout — which is why this commit is the layout. The screens themselves are restyled through the shared vocabulary rather than rebuilt: corner radii, chips, cards and the accent's ink, all in App.axaml, so every screen moves at once. Their layouts are left alone deliberately. The design draws read-only detail panes and these screens carry the editors and forms it has no equivalent of, so replacing a layout with the mock-up's would have lost the half that is actually used. Verified by the whole suite: 1309 tests over nineteen projects, none failing, including the 68 layout cases that stand up real Avalonia and measure every screen at the new minimum. Both heads build. Not run on a machine with a display — see docs/manual-checks.md for what wants looking at.

jaap-jan	4300d917a8	Stop making people wait for a handshake, and give the host list a pointer ... Connecting held the vault's busy gate, which meant a window that did nothing visible for as long as a machine took to answer — and against one that is merely asleep, that is the whole timeout. The gate is gone from that one command. A tab now appears in the strip in the same turn as the click, carrying "connecting…" rather than a pane, and the terminal's rectangle draws a card naming the host and the address being dialled. Every other screen stays usable, and two connections can be in flight at once. That splits the vault's one connection event into three, carrying an attempt id, because "which tab is this about" can no longer be answered by "the most recent one". The id also buys the two kinds of not-connecting their different endings: a refusal stays in the strip as a tab holding its reason, since by then the user is quite likely three screens away and a status line they are not looking at is not where a failure should end; a host key question takes the tab away and puts the window back on HOSTS, because the prompt is drawn there and a tab claiming failure would be competing with the thing about to resume it. ConnectAsync takes no CancellationToken any more, and that is load-bearing rather than tidying. A [RelayCommand] over a method that takes one generates a command that cancels the previous execution's token on every invocation — so asking for a second machine silently abandoned the first, measured as the first tab disappearing with "Cancelled." the instant the second was asked for. Giving up on a connection is closing its tab, and a session that lands after that is adopted rather than dropped: a shell running with nothing naming it cannot be closed at all. A tab is marked active on IsShowing rather than IsSelected. The selection survives navigating away — that is what makes the strip a way back to a terminal instead of a way to lose one — so a tab lit while preferences filled the window was a second "you are here" mark pointing at something nobody could see. The nav rail's own entries have always made this distinction. The host list grows the two gestures it looked like it already had. A right click selects the row under the pointer before opening a menu of Connect, Edit and Delete — the menu is on the list rather than in the item template, so its entries are the vault's own commands and not a row's, and it is cancelled outright over a group heading. Dragging a host onto a heading files it there, onto a host files it beside that one, and onto UNGROUPED takes it out of a group; the write is one field of one host through the same repository a save uses, refused while the editor is open because a drop is a gesture on the list and not on a half-typed form. Clicking a result in the palette connects, which is what a list of hosts under a search box looks like it does. It went through the shell's own command, so the pointer and Enter take one path. And the files screen's two pickers followed the vault's lists once, at unlock: a host or a bucket created afterwards could not be picked until the keychain had been locked and opened again, with nothing on screen explaining why the machine plainly in the host list was missing. They follow the collections now, re-finding the selection by id across the rebuild a sync pass causes every minute. 165 shell tests and 69 layout tests green, including the connecting tab, both failure endings, two connections at once, a connection in flight across a lock, and the right click acting on the row under the pointer rather than on the selection. The drag itself is in docs/manual-checks.md with the rest of phase 7 — headless Avalonia has no platform drag, and a test that claimed to have dropped something would pass while confirming nothing.	2026-07-31 22:59:33 +02:00
jaap-jan	d07b336868	Free the terminal from the Hosts screen, and fill the room it left ... The WebView sat inside the Hosts grid, so navigating to Files or the keychain hid every open terminal and the strip that named them. A connection you had opened was invisible from four of the five screens. The window now has two surfaces rather than one: a nav rail that says which page you are on, and a terminal strip that is always there and switches the whole content area to a shell. Screen keeps meaning "which page" and never becomes a sixth kind of page, which is why this is two properties instead of one enum with a terminal member in it. Every screen lives inside one wrapper panel that collapses when a terminal is showing. That is not tidiness — the WebView hosts a Win32 child window that composites above everything Avalonia draws, so a screen left visible over its rectangle is a screen sliced in half, and this window has shipped that defect once already. One decision point, IsTerminalShowing, and a nested panel rather than five compound bindings nobody would remember to extend. The focus choreography is the part no test in this repo can see. Every reveal path now focuses in the same turn the WebView appeared, so all three of them post at DispatcherPriority.Loaded and let the native control re-push its bounds first. Going the other way had a real bug: the screen-changed branch called a bare Focus() where it had to release the keyboard from the native child, so switching from a terminal to Files silently ate the first keystrokes. Rare before this commit and the primary gesture after it. The tab strip grew a cross inside each tab, a plus that opens the quick-connect palette, and middle-click close. Nested buttons are correct here: Avalonia handles a left press on the cross and deliberately does not handle other buttons, which is exactly what lets middle-click bubble up from the cross as well as the tab. The test is PointerUpdateKind rather than IsMiddleButtonPressed, because the latter reports button state and is also true for a left press made while the middle button happens to be held. The handler is on the tab and not the strip, so the background closes nothing by construction. Plus opens the palette rather than a flyout, since a menu dropping into the WebView's rectangle may or may not composite above a child HWND and this repo does not make rendering claims it has not photographed. Everything a user reads now says keychain. The wire, the database and the cryptographic spec still say vault, deliberately: renaming those is a migration and a protocol change for a word. That split is written down rather than left to be rediscovered as an inconsistency. Four things that were squeezed into the keychain's category rail, or into nothing at all, now have screens. Pinned host keys get one, with fingerprints never truncated and a filter that matches them, because comparing what you have against what the operator published is the whole workflow; the approved date is read out of the item's UUIDv7 rather than added as a column, and says so, since it means first approval and not last use. Keys can be generated in the client, which needed the openssh-key-v1 container written by hand — there is no BCL or NSec helper, and the PKCS#8 route is unverified in the SSH library this uses. The armour carries no passphrase: encrypting it needs bcrypt_pbkdf, which is Blowfish with a swizzle, in a project whose crypto is otherwise entirely libsodium, for a protection the key's own remarks argue is redundant inside a vault. Generation fills the existing editor and stops, so SAVE stays the one thing that writes. ~/.ssh/config can be imported behind a preview that is ticked per row and writes nothing until the button; IdentityFile records the path and imports the key material only on an explicit opt-in, because reading somebody's private key into a vault is precisely the act this product exists to make deliberate. Match blocks and ProxyJump are reported rather than obeyed — one cannot be evaluated statically and the other has nothing behind it to route with, and a preview that implied otherwise would be worse than one that admits it. Files can be dragged in all four directions that are honestly available. Remote to Explorer does not ship and is not pretended to: the shell wants the bytes during the drop, which needs a virtual file and a native COM data object, outside what Avalonia offers. Note for the next person that Avalonia 12 replaced the drag model outright — DataObject and DataFormats are no-op stubs and IDataObject is not in the reference assembly, so every tutorial written for 11 does not compile here. Hosts can be grouped, flat and never nested. A parent id merged as a scalar lets two offline clients each re-parent A under B and B under A, producing a cycle inside an encrypted payload that no server can police and every reader would have to detect for ever. Membership lives in that payload rather than in the one plaintext concession ADR 0001 allows, whose test is that the relay cannot function without it — nothing on the server reads a group, so what plaintext would hand over is a clustering of the estate for nothing. The plaintext column reserved for it is dropped, provably always null, and the server now refuses a client that sends one; it was never populated, was copied on apply, and was not cleared on delete, so a group id would have outlived the host it described. Snippets insert through xterm rather than through the pump, because xterm is the only thing that knows whether the remote has bracketed paste on, and that is what makes a shell treat embedded newlines as text instead of as execute. The host process moves opaque bytes and never parses output, so it would have to guess, and guessing wrong runs every line. Running is off by default and the copy says the text goes into whatever is there — the terminal has no notion of being at a prompt, and may be in vi or at a password prompt with echo off, so the Enter the user presses themselves is the entire safety property. Connections and keychain changes are recorded as synced encrypted items, which is what makes them auditable by a team later and costs the server knowledge of connection rate and timing from row counts alone. ADR 0001 already concedes it cannot hide that class of metadata; the trade is now written into it rather than left implicit. A connection entry is written once, at close, which is what makes a synced log tractable: nothing to merge, one outbox row, no chance of colliding with itself. Live sessions come from memory, not from the log. The write is void by contract and posts to a bounded channel, because putting an encrypt-and-write on the teardown path of every session is how closing the application comes to take four seconds. A ticket opened before a lock still closes afterwards, since a shell outlives the vault. The activity log hooks the one generic repository every kind writes through, so it cannot miss a caller — which is also why the log kinds themselves declare they are not audited, or the first entry would write an entry about writing an entry. It records the names of the fields that changed and never their values; a log with an old password in it would be a plaintext credential store with no vault around it. Retention is 90 days or 5,000 entries, whichever bites first, pruned on the sync loop rather than on a second timer. That log traffic then broke the status line, which is worth recording because the fix is a shape and not a patch: background sync counted its own log rows as pushed items, so the quiet rule stopped being quiet and every action's message was overwritten a second later by a sync report. The report now separates log rows from user items and the rule reads the latter. S3 buckets appear as a remote in the file browser, behind the same interface an SFTP session implements, so the queue and both panes did not have to learn what they are talking to. Uploads go through a pipe, because the queue wants to write and the SDK wants to read; memory is then bounded by the part size instead of buffering a file to disk twice. Finally, the Windows device key store moved out of the session project, which was the one thing keeping it from being portable — everything else in it is platform-neutral, and a Windows CNG dependency in the middle of the vault code meant a second head could not reference it without dragging Windows along. The seam that made the move free was already there. docs/android-port.md is the audit behind that: what ports, what does not, in order of cost, the four decisions taken, and an inventory of every screen and state the interface has to carry, written so a design can be made from it directly. dotnet build, dotnet test and dotnet format --verify-no-changes are all clean: 1240 tests at zero warnings, including the end-to-end suite against real containers. The manual checks that headless Avalonia cannot make — the drag from Explorer, a generated key against a real host, twelve tabs at the minimum window width — are listed in docs/manual-checks.md and are still outstanding.	2026-07-31 20:30:05 +02:00
