jaap-jan	4f9faa2fe3	Ask about a host key where the connection was made, not on the host list ... The trust prompt was two banners at the top of the desktop's hosts screen, so the shell navigated there before letting a handshake raise one: Screen = Hosts, Surface = Page, in OnVaultConnectionFailed and again in the palette's own connect. The reason was sound — a connection can be started from Ctrl+K on any screen, and a question behind whatever somebody is looking at is a question nobody can answer — and it was answered the wrong way round. Rather than making the decision reachable from where the user is, it moved the user to where the decision was, and charged every screen for it. It is worst for the one connection that has no host at all. A machine typed into the phone's connect box is deliberately in no keychain, so a first contact from there judged it on a list it does not appear on, after taking the box that dialled it away. So both heads now draw the decision over the surface. HostKeyCard is the desktop's, and is the counterpart of the phone's HostKeySheet: a scrim with no press handler, because a question with two named answers must not be answerable by missing; the unknown key offering TRUST AND CONNECT, because judging a fingerprint against what an operator published is a decision a person is entitled to make and the only moment they can make it; and the changed key offering no way forward at all, because a button beside that warning is "continue anyway" with two clicks instead of one. The phone needed no new markup — its sheet was already a shell-level overlay, so deleting the navigation is what puts it over the Connections screen. IsHostKeyDecisionShowing is on the shell rather than on a screen because the answer decides an occlusion. A second connection can be refused while a first one is open, so this card is routinely raised over a live terminal, and that rectangle is a native child window: layered over it the card would be sliced at its left edge with TRUST AND CONNECT taking no clicks, which for the most safety-critical question in the product is the worst place for that class of bug to land. IsTerminalShowing gives the rectangle up instead. The banners are gone rather than copied. One prompt in two markups is two copies of the most safety-critical wording here, and the second is the one that goes stale. TWO DEFECTS FOUND BEHIND IT. VaultViewModel.RejectHostKey cleared only the pending key and never the mismatch, so the changed-key refusal had no working exit. That was invisible for as long as it was a banner nothing was drawn over — nothing was trapped, and the next attempt cleared it — and it was already live on the phone, where that refusal is an opaque full-screen panel whose one button runs this command: pressing it left the panel up over every screen the user went to next, including the host editor the panel tells them to open. TransfersViewModel.RejectHostKey has always cleared both; the vault's was the outlier. Its button said BACK TO HOSTS, which was wrong twice over, and now says BACK. And an assertion written for this change could not fail: the palette test asserted the renderer was collapsed in a scenario whose only tab had just been removed, so it was collapsed for want of a session whatever the occlusion rule said. It is gone, with a note pointing at the test that can fail on it. VERIFIED. 1580 tests, build clean, no new warnings, format clean. Three mutations each seen to fail and then seen green again: dropping !IsHostKeyDecisionShowing from IsTerminalShowing, caught by AChangedHostKey_CollapsesTheTerminalItIsRefusedOver; reverting RejectHostKey to clear one flag, caught by RefusingAHostKeyDecision_TakesItOffTheScreen(false) and by that same test; and dropping the two host-key arms from OnVaultPropertyChanged, caught by TheHostKeyDecision_IsAnnouncedToTheWindowWhenItArrivesAndWhenItGoes. That last one is the first test in this repository to watch PropertyChanged, and it is worth being the first: every other assertion about the flag reads it directly, and a direct read passes with the subscription deleted — while the card would never go away. The two layout tests moved with the prompts, from the hosts screen to the card. manual-checks gains 7.4a for the occlusion, 7.4b for getting out of a refusal and 11.7a for the hand-typed case, none of which a test can see; 1.5 and 7.4 are corrected rather than left describing a window that no longer moves. ONE ROUGH EDGE, DELIBERATELY LEFT. On the desktop, refusing a first contact whose tab was the only one leaves the terminal surface with no tabs — a blank rectangle under the strip's "no terminals open · press + or Ctrl+K", which is the one sentence near that rectangle Avalonia can draw. The alternative was falling back to the page, and on the phone that means the host list, which is the bug this commit is about. A desktop connect page would close it properly.	2026-08-06 12:25:37 +02:00

jaap-jan	185790fb14	Let a key move to another vault, and ask whether it goes with the host ... Keys sync and keys are shared: SshKey is in the sync registry on both sides, the material rides in the sealed payload, and every generation of the vault key is wrapped to a new member. What was missing was the way in. Hosts and groups could move between vaults and keychain items could not, so a key typed into a personal vault before the team existed stayed there for good — and moving a host into the team's vault left it authenticating with something nobody else in that vault can read. The code said so and could do nothing about it: "the answer is usually to put a copy of that key in the destination vault", which meant pasting the private half into a second item and deleting the first. A private key on a clipboard, and two items nobody can tell apart afterwards. MoveAsync already existed on the generic repository and is now exposed for keys and passwords as it is for hosts and groups. What had to be built around it is the re-aim. An item re-sealed under another vault's key lands with an id of that vault's making, so every host bound to the old one and every group lending it as a default is left naming a tombstone — and a host bound to something its vault no longer holds refuses to connect rather than falling back to a typed password. A move without the re-aim would look like a success and break every machine on that key. It runs over every vault this session can write to, because a binding resolves across all of them, and it counts what it could not rewrite: an item from a newer client, or one in a vault this account may only read. Those are said in the sentence afterwards rather than swallowed. The host's move asks the question rather than deciding it. A binding resolves across vaults, so the moved host goes on working for the person who moved it whichever way this is answered; it is the colleagues they have just joined who hold one vault's key and cannot connect with a host whose key stayed behind. Unticked, and it stays that way on purpose: moving a key into a team's vault hands it to everybody holding that key, and this design does not default anybody into a disclosure. Under the box is the count of everything else that authenticates with that key, because a key twenty machines use is a different decision from one nothing else touches, and neither number is visible from the panel otherwise. The question is answered against the vault in the picker, so choosing a different destination re-asks it and a key already in the destination offers nothing. One thing fixed on the way. A host that inherited its key from its group arrived in the destination naming nothing at all — the group belongs to the vault it left — so a machine that connected before the move refused after it, with no sentence anywhere saying why. The resolved binding is now written onto the host as it crosses, and the stranded-binding warning reads the resolved binding too, which is the case where somebody is least likely to know a key is involved. MOVE is on both heads, for keys and passwords only: a tag, a bucket and a pin are read from the active vault alone, so "another vault" is not a question any of them has. Four tests cover the move and its re-aim, the host's move with the key brought and without it, and the inherited binding.	2026-08-06 07:39:15 +02:00
jaap-jan	3d9ed03b09	Let a snippet be shared to a vault, the way a host already can ... A snippet was a first-class vault item everywhere except where it mattered: the crypto, the sync, the server table and every registry already treated it exactly as they treat a host, and the screen read it out of the active vault alone. So the one command a team most obviously wants to hold in common — the incantation somebody worked out once and everybody else retypes — was the only item kind that could not leave the machine that wrote it. The read is the half that had to come first, and it is why this is not simply a MoveAsync. ReloadSnippetsAsync now lists every readable vault rather than the active one, in the shape ReloadHostsAsync and ReloadKeysAsync already use: the vault new items go into first, then by vault name, then by label, with a badge on the row only where there is more than one vault to tell apart. Without that, a snippet moved into a team vault would have disappeared from the very screen that moved it, and one a colleague wrote there would never have arrived at all — sharing would have looked like losing. Three writes were pinned to the active vault and each one broke differently once the list spanned several. The delete tombstoned in the wrong vault, which tombstones nothing and leaves the snippet on screen. The save is the bad one: an update sent to the active vault creates a second snippet there and leaves the team original untouched, so the person editing sees their fix and nobody else ever does. That is a fork with no symptom, which is why the vault is now a parameter and the screen latches it when the editor opens — the chosen vault for a new snippet, the row own vault for an existing one — rather than reading it back off a selection that can move under a half-typed form. VaultViewModel has carried editingHostVaultId for the same reason since hosts crossed vaults. Two controls rather than one, and that is the same line the host pane draws. The editor asks which vault a new snippet is filed into; MOVE re-seals an existing one under another key and tombstones the first. Putting the second inside the first would let somebody correcting a typo hand a command to a team by leaving a picker where they found it, so the picker is not drawn for an existing snippet at all. Both live on SnippetsViewModel rather than VaultViewModel because this screen owns its editor, unlike the host drawer; the writing they ask for is still the vault. A snippet crosses whole, which is the one way this is simpler than the host it copies. A host leaves its group and its tags behind because both are items of the vault it came from and would dangle for everybody in the destination. A snippet is a label, a command and a note, and none of them points at anything — so there is nothing to strip, nothing to report as left behind, and what the copy says instead is the thing that is actually at stake: who can read the command afterwards. For a command that may carry a hostname or a path, that is the whole decision. Two judgement calls worth finding later. A hidden vault now hides its snippets, filtered in the screen projection rather than in VaultViewModel.Snippets, which is the rule keys and passwords already follow: the list stays whole so nothing that resolves against it breaks, and the projection is what a preference about reading gets to change. And the nav rail count is left spanning vaults unfiltered, because Vault.Hosts.Count beside it is unfiltered too — filtering one of the four would make the rail disagree with itself. Four flow tests in VaultSharingTests, beside the host ones they mirror: the move re-seals with a new id and carries the runs-on-insert flag across, the move with nowhere to go refuses rather than opening an empty picker, the editor files into the vault chosen on it, and the edit of a shared snippet goes back to its own vault instead of forking. That last one is the regression the latch exists for and the only one whose absence has no visible symptom. Plus a layout test with the move panel open, since that paragraph wraps in a 300-pixel column and the desktop pane it lands in is measured. The whole suite passes: 1660 tests, none failing.	2026-08-06 07:39:03 +02:00
jaap-jan	af0e29a98b	Give the desktop a nightly channel, the way the phone has one ... ADR 0014 gave the phone a nightly and ADR 0013 rule 3 gave the desktop none, so the two heads had different answers to the same question — how does somebody try what is on main? — for no reason except the order the work happened in. This is the desktop's answer: CI publishes a build from main on every push, and it installs beside the release one rather than over it. The phone gets its separation from the platform. Android refuses an update signed by a different key, so its two channels cannot replace one another whatever anybody does. Nothing refuses anything here: Velopack applies what its feed serves and verifies no signature. So all of it is construction, and there are four separations because each closes a different door. A pack id each, so the two install in different directories and neither feed's package can be applied to the other's install. A Velopack channel each — win and win-nightly — so neither build ever reads the other's release index; the name reaches the wire as releases.win-nightly.json, which is why the constant in VelopackUpdateChannel and the argument in ci.yml have to agree or the channel answers nothing forever with no error. A prerelease flag, so the release channel cannot see the nightly even by accident. And a profile directory each, which is the one that is easy to skip and would hurt most: the cache schema is migrated on every launch, before unlock, so a shared profile means a nightly quietly upgrading a database the release build then opens. Both are installed at once by design, so that is an ordinary Tuesday rather than a corner case. The prerelease flag turns out to be load-bearing across heads as well. The phone's release channel reads releases/latest, which skips prereleases — so a desktop nightly published as a stable release would become the newest release in this repository and every phone on the release channel would start failing its check against a release carrying no Android manifest. Which build this is arrives as assembly metadata, the same mechanism and the same reasoning as the Android head: the updater needs the string rather than a branch, and a value baked into the assembly is one a crash report can be asked for. Three things read it — the feed, the prerelease flag, and the profile — and one more shows it: the titlebar says DodoSSH Nightly. Everything else that distinguishes the two is somewhere nobody is looking while typing a passphrase into one of them. The version needed a floor and it is applied to the whole build rather than to the packaging. MinVer answers 0.0.0-alpha.0.N until the first v* tag and vpk refuses anything below 0.0.1, so the job lifts the patch digit and keeps the height — through MinVerVersionOverride, so the assemblies carry the same number the installer does. Packing a version the assembly disagreed with would put one string on the preferences screen and another in the feed, which is the screen somebody reads when asked which nightly they are on. Two things found by running it rather than reading it. -t:MinVer needs a restore first, because the target arrives with the package and MSB4057 on a clean checkout reads like a typo in the workflow rather than a missing restore; the release script had the same gap and now restores before it reads. And vpk rejects an empty --packVersion loudly, which is how a broken version handoff announces itself rather than shipping a package called 1.0.0. Rule 3 is untouched. The release channel still has no job, no token and no runner, and the two channels cannot see each other. What a nightly costs is written where somebody reads it before installing one: whoever can write a release here can put a build on every nightly machine, which is fine for a build being tried and is not fine for a build holding somebody's infrastructure credentials. Verified by running the job's own steps against a clone in a Linux container: DodoSSH.Desktop.Nightly-win-nightly-Setup.exe, and an index naming pack id DodoSSH.Desktop.Nightly at 0.0.1-alpha.0.144. The upload itself is the one step not exercised — it needs a real forge and a write token, and check 16.10 is what walks the half no runner can.	2026-08-05 22:35:51 +02:00
jaap-jan	dc1ebf6afa	Let the recovery code be copied, and give the phone a clipboard to copy to ... Both screens had made the code selectable and both said why: a person who cannot get it out of the box photographs the screen, and a screenshot is a worse home for it than a clipboard. This finishes that argument. Selecting 64 characters of letter-spaced monospace with a thumb is the version of "possible" people give up on halfway — and on the phone the screen blocks screenshots, so the honest remaining options were retyping it or losing it. It is the one secret this application deliberately offers to a clipboard, and the contrast with the keychain's copy is the whole argument rather than an inconsistency. There, copying the private half is refused outright, because installing a key means pasting the public one and the private one has no business leaving the vault. Here there is no better route: the code exists for one screen, is stored nowhere, and has to reach a password manager. The clipboard is the intended destination rather than a way round the design. The sentence afterwards matters as much as the copy, and is asserted: a clipboard is a staging post, this screen is the only place the code exists, and the next thing copied replaces it. Somebody who copies and does nothing has not saved it. The phone had no clipboard delegate at all — the desktop passed one and this head passed null — so COPY PUBLIC KEY on the keychain answered "this machine has no clipboard" on a device that plainly has one. Nothing about that was platform shaped: Android has a clipboard and Avalonia surfaces it through the same TopLevel. Wiring it fixes that copy too. The test fixture built its shell without a clipboard, which modelled the bug rather than the product, so it has one now and the public-key test asserts what lands there instead of the refusal. The refusal keeps its own test, on a shell built without one, because the view model reads the delegate's absence rather than an empty result — and because a button that silently does nothing on this screen is worse than one that refuses.	2026-08-05 18:14:34 +02:00
jaap-jan	253c72d2b7	Name the organisation the repository actually lives in ... It moved to DodoTech-Public, and every address in the product still said DodoTech. That looked like it worked, which is the part worth writing down: Gitea leaves a 301 at the old path and HttpClient follows a redirect on a GET, so both update channels would have kept polling through it. What a 301 does not survive is a POST. `vpk upload gitea` publishes the desktop release by POSTing to that URL, so the stale address would have failed at the one step the whole feature depends on — and a redirect is a thing an operator can delete, which turns "works today" into the same silent outage this session has already spent two commits on. So both channel constants, both release scripts, the workflow's REPO, the image's source label and the curl in phase 16 all name the live path. The local remote too, which had been printing a redirect warning on every push. Measured after the move: the org, the repo and the nightly release all answer 200 anonymously, and that release now carries both assets — the manifest and a 54 MB APK. The upload going through also answers the open question about the reverse proxy's body-size limit, which nothing local could test.	2026-08-05 12:51:19 +02:00
jaap-jan	ca07d63585	Offer to bring the keys an ssh_config points at ... An import that recorded a key path and left every host asking for a password was an import whose result did not connect. The answer to that was a manual paste per key, which is the sort of thing people do once and then stop importing. So there is a tick, and it starts off. With it off nothing changes: an IdentityFile becomes a note and the host asks for a password. With it on, IMPORT reads each host's first IdentityFile out of ~/.ssh, stores it in the vault encrypted like any other key, and binds the host to it. Three things about how it is drawn are load-bearing rather than tidy. It is a default nobody arrives at by accident. The sentence beside it names the directory rather than saying "your keys", because that is what somebody is agreeing to. And nothing is read during SCAN — tick it, read what it says, untick it, and no private key has been opened. This is the only place the application opens key material out of a directory the user did not point at file by file, and the whole of what makes that acceptable is that it took a deliberate press. One vault key per file, however many entries named it: an ssh_config pointing twelve hosts at one id_ed25519 is the ordinary shape, and twelve copies would be twelve things to rotate and eleven to forget. A file whose material is already in the keychain is bound to rather than stored again, which is what makes running the import twice harmless. What cannot be read off a disk is a passphrase, so a protected key arrives without one — and the report under the button names those files rather than leaving a host to fail at connect time with a message about a malformed key. Telling them apart means decoding for OpenSSH's own container, whose cipher name is the first field inside the base64 rather than anything in the armour, and that is the format ssh-keygen has written by default for years. The 88 base64 characters it decodes need 66 bytes, not 64: with the smaller span every protected key came back unprotected, which the tests now pin. A path that is not on this machine leaves its host imported and unbound, exactly as it would have been with the tick off, and is named in the same report. A config carried from another machine is the ordinary case, not an error.	2026-08-05 08:58:28 +02:00
jaap-jan	69bc9e270b	Let a team be joined only by somebody who is already here ... An invitation decided access from an assertion about an address. Everything else in this model decides it from something a person did — an admin naming an account, a key holder wrapping a vault key to a key they verified — and this was the one place a token's email claim was the thing that let somebody in. It was guarded as tightly as that can be guarded: the claim was refused outright on an unverified or absent `email_verified`, with no setting to relax it. But the guard and the risk were the same shape. The whole defence was one boolean sent by a system the deployment does not control. So `POST /teams/{id}/members` is the only way in, and an address with no account is refused with `no-such-account` — which is now the end of the road rather than the signal to invite. Both clients say the remedy: that person signs in here once, which is what creates the account, and then they can be added. The desktop leaves the address in the box, because a message telling you to come back later is one you act on later. Gone with it: the `team_invitation` table, the claim hook in the sign-in path, and `Oidc:EmailVerifiedClaim`, which that hook was the only reader of. Nothing in the server now reads the email claim to decide anything. Pending invitations are dropped rather than converted. Converting one would mean creating a membership because an address matched, which is the property being removed — and an invitation to an address that did have an account here had already been claimed by the hourly sweep, so what is left is offers to people who never arrived. Two tests carry the property rather than the feature: the endpoint inventory asserts the three routes are absent, and the API suite adds an address that has no account, watches the refusal, then signs that address in and checks it joined nothing. Without the second half, a server that merely renamed the deferred path would pass.	2026-08-05 08:28:57 +02:00
jaap-jan	b4a6c19ac1	Let the phone replace itself, and give CI a channel it may sign ... The Android head had no updater and no release path, and the two are one problem: Android refuses an update signed by a different key, and CI generates a fresh debug key in every container. An APK released from a workflow could be installed once and never updated again — each new one an uninstall, which on this product means losing the cache, the outbox and the device key. So there are two channels, and they are two applications because the platform gives no third option. dev.dodotech.dodossh is cut from a v* tag by a person running scripts/release-android.ps1 with the key ADR 0011 rule 1 keeps off runners. dev.dodotech.dodossh.nightly is cut from main by CI and signed with a keystore committed here in the open — a key everybody has cannot be stolen and grants nothing by being held, which is why putting it in CI does not touch the rule. Neither can update the other, by construction. See ADR 0014. The android job assumed an image with a JDK and an Android SDK on it, which is what a GitHub runner is and what this project's is not. It now installs a JDK, fetches Google's command-line tools, accepts the licences and installs API 36 — each a no-op where it is already satisfied, and each cached by the persistent runner's own disk rather than by an action that would move a quarter of a gigabyte to rebuild a directory that never left. The client reads a small JSON manifest beside the APK, the counterpart of releases.win.json, and compares Android's versionCode rather than a version name: that integer is what the platform itself uses to accept or refuse an install, so comparing anything else would offer updates the phone then rejects. It fetches, and then asks Android to ask — the system draws its own confirmation, and from API 26 will not draw even that until unknown sources is on for this application. IUpdateChannel gained ApplyingEndsTheProcess. On Windows applying replaces the files and restarts, so the shell disposes the vault first and that is what zeroes the keys. On the phone the install is a request and the answer may be no, so disposing first would answer "not now" with a locked keychain and every shell closed — a punishment for declining an update. Two measured bugs found on the way, both older than this work and both invisible to a -getProperty check. ApplicationDisplayVersion is read by the Android targets in a top-level PropertyGroup, so the target setting it from MinVer ran after the only thing that reads it: every APK ever built here said versionName 1.0.0. And nothing found so far varies the launcher name per channel — four mechanisms tried, all of them recorded in platform-flags, none of them reaching the label the launcher shows. The two channels share an icon name for now and are told apart by package name, version, and what the preferences screen says.	2026-08-04 21:46:01 +02:00
jaap-jan	3ead865f01	Merge branch 'main' into the desktop updater, and give way on two numbers ... Main landed a realtime push feature while this branch was building the updater, and the two collided in three places. Every one of them resolves the same way: main got there first, so this branch moves. **Two ADRs were both numbered 0012.** Main's is realtime push; this one is now [ADR 0013](docs/adr/0013-desktop-distribution-and-updates.md). Git did not call this a conflict — the filenames differ — so it would have merged quietly and left the directory with two 0012s and every cross-reference ambiguous. Renumbered here along with the nine places that point at it. **Two manual-check phases were both numbered 15**, and that one git did catch. Main's "Changes that arrive without a timer" keeps 15; installing and updating the desktop client becomes Phase 16, with its checks and every reference to them renumbered. The file's own rule is that a number is for life, which is exactly why the one that had not been pushed is the one that gives way. **The merge rewrote several files with CRLF**, and `.editorconfig` asks for LF on everything except `*.ps1`. That is not cosmetic here: IDE0055 is an error and `EnforceCodeStyleInBuild` is on, so it failed the build on three lines of App.axaml.cs whose only change in this branch was an ADR number in a comment. Forty-six files normalised back to LF; the release script keeps CRLF, which is what `.gitattributes` and `.editorconfig` both already say for a PowerShell file. Nothing else conflicted. The updater does not touch the sync loop or the event stream, and the one file both sides edited heavily — MainWindowViewModel — merged without a hunk in common. Verified after merging: the solution restores locked and builds clean, and 304 shell, 100 layout, 54 session, 28 client-api and 25 contracts tests pass. The first two counts are higher than before the merge because main's own tests came with it and pass alongside these.	2026-08-04 17:52:57 +02:00
jaap-jan	780f4bf892	Merge branch 'main' into the group's move and its deletion question ... Main took the group's EDIT and DELETE off the GROUPS heading while this branch was adding a MOVE beside them, so the conflict was about the same six pixels from both directions. Main's answer wins outright, and it is the better one for the reason its own message gives: a button beside a heading has no card under a pointer to mean, and had to work its subject out from the selection or from the trail. Moving a group had that problem worst of all — the thing it takes with it is everything on the shelf, and "which shelf" is not a question a button there could answer plainly. So the MOVE button is gone and the menu entry it was drawn beside is the whole of it. That entry was already in this branch, above the separator DELETE sits below, and it needed no change: the card menu selects whatever was right-clicked before it runs anything, which is exactly the aiming a group move wants. Three things went with the button. ShowsGroupActions, which main deleted because hiding buttons was all it did, and which this branch had extended to hide them for the move panel as well. CanMoveGroupTarget, which existed to answer whether that button was worth drawing — CanMoveSelectedHost stays, because the phone really does leave the host's MOVE out rather than offer a refusal, and a menu whose entries came and went would be a menu whose items move. And the two test assertions that read them, which were describing the button rather than the behaviour; what they were guarding is that the two panels never share the moment, and IsConfirmingGroupDeletion says that directly. The move panel and the deletion question both keep their place under the heading, which is where the buttons were and is now simply where that section puts things. They still exclude each other, by disarming rather than by a visibility flag: MoveGroup clears a pending deletion and DeleteGroup folds the move panel away. Manual checks 3.3 was rewritten by main for the menu and by this branch for the tick, and now says both; 3.3a is new and walks a two-level shelf across a vault boundary, which is the half of this feature no headless test can watch land.	2026-08-04 17:11:06 +02:00
jaap-jan	6728a0a597	Let the desktop client replace itself, and give the repository one version ... Packaging for Windows, and the updater that only exists once something is packaged. Velopack, win-x64, fed from the project's own forge — never from the deployment a client signs in to, which is ADR 0011 rule 2 carried over unchanged and is why the feed address is a constant in the code rather than a setting. See docs/adr/0012-desktop-distribution-and-updates.md. **Nothing is ever installed while somebody is using it.** A newer build is found on a six-hourly pass, downloaded in the background, and then waits — for a restart the user presses, or for the next launch they were going to do anyway. That is a policy rather than caution: this application argues at length that locking keeps shells running, because a lock that destroyed work would stop being used, and a restart does not keep them. Having taught that, it owes the user the choice at the one moment it stops being true, and the sentence saying so counts the shells it would close. **The version is now derived from the v* tag**, by MinVer, for everything. There was no version before this — no property anywhere, so every assembly reported the SDK's 1.0.0 and the API served that string as its serverVersion to every client that asked. The tag was already the version of record for the container image; this makes it the version of record full stop. MinVer's failure mode is answering plausibly rather than failing, and here a wrong version is a client that never updates, so it is guarded twice: fetch-depth 0 on every checkout, and a step that fails a tag build when the tag and the computed version disagree. **The pack id is DodoSSH.Desktop and not DodoSSH**, which is the one decision here that would have destroyed data. Velopack installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\<packId> and removes that whole directory on uninstall, and %LOCALAPPDATA%\DodoSSH is where ClientPaths keeps the encrypted cache, the outbox of changes not yet pushed, and the device key. The obvious id would have had the uninstaller silently delete work the server has never seen — the thing the application refuses to do without a counted confirmation. Velopack's own advice to move user data to roaming %APPDATA% is declined for the reason ClientPaths already gives. **Releases are cut by a person, and CI gains no job that could.** The tempting argument is that a forge write token is not a signing key. It does not survive contact with what the token does: Velopack clients trust their feed and do not verify a package signature when they apply one, so whoever can write a release can ship an update every install runs. That is the capability ADR 0011 rule 1 puts on a machine which is not a runner, reached through a different door. The mechanical objection — vpk needs Windows and the runners are Linux — is the smaller of the two and is recorded beside it, because somebody will fix one and believe they are done. Unsigned for now, deliberately and with the cost stated where a user reads it: SmartScreen warns once per person, on Setup.exe, because Mark-of-the-Web is applied by the browser that downloaded it. In-app updates are fetched by the application and applied from a local file, and never trip it. The banner is a fourth row of the window rather than an overlay. Anything drawn in the terminal's rectangle is sliced by the native child window that composites above it — the defect this window has shipped once — and a sibling row is the arrangement TitleBar and StatusBar already prove works. ---- Three defects surfaced on the way, none of them in the feature being built. **A settings key absent from the file came back as the CLR default, not the declared one.** The JSON source generator builds a record through a synthesised parameterised constructor and assigns every property from its argument array, so a property initializer runs and is then overwritten by a default for anything the file did not contain. A settings.json of {} read back a font size of 0, clamped up to the 8px floor rather than the 13px the renderer draws at. It could not bite while there was one setting, because that setting was written on every save and so was never absent; adding a second would have turned automatic update checks off for every existing profile, silently, the opposite of the documented default. Reflection-based deserialisation of the same JSON answers correctly, which is why every way of checking it by hand agrees except the one that ships. The defaults now live on the constructor parameters, which is the only place the generator reads them from. **Declaring a RuntimeIdentifier on the desktop head broke the server's image build.** It is the obvious way to let a self-contained publish restore under locked mode, and it writes a net10.0/win-x64 target into the lock file of every project the head references transitively — including DodoSSH.Contracts and DodoSSH.Crypto, which the API builds too. The Dockerfile restores those with no RID and fails NU1004. Found by running docker build rather than by reading. The RID stays out of the committed state; the two commands that need one ask for it unlocked, and the release script puts the lock files back. **A Docker ARG named VERSION silently sets MSBuild's Version.** An ARG is an environment variable for the rest of the stage, MSBuild reads environment variables as properties, and property names are case-insensitive. With the workflow passing main-<short sha> on a main build the publish died with NETSDK1018 pointing at DodoSSH.Contracts, a project nobody had touched. The build stage's argument is ASSEMBLY_VERSION now, empty except on a tag build. All three are in docs/platform-flags.md, which is where the next person will look. ---- Verified: the whole solution builds and restores locked; 289 shell, 93 layout and 54 session tests pass, including the regression test for the settings defect and a measurement of the banner at the window's minimum width. vpk pack runs end to end and reports "Verified VelopackApp.Run()" against Program.Main. The API image builds correctly both as a main build and as a tag build, carrying 1.0.0 and 0.1.0 respectively. Not verified, and it needs a published release to be: installing, updating and uninstalling on a real machine. That is Phase 15 of docs/manual-checks.md, and the pack id and the WebView2 profile fix are reasoned and commented but only proved by walking it. Two things to watch at the first upload — the reverse proxy's body-size limit for a 64 MB asset, and whether vpk upload gitea is happy with Gitea 1.27.1.	2026-08-04 17:04:41 +02:00
jaap-jan	a86731ee08	Move the shelf as well as what is on it, and ask what a deletion takes ... Two things about a group, and they turn out to be the same argument twice. **A group can be moved to another vault, and it takes everything on it.** The host's move shipped last week and stopped one level too low: moving twenty machines into a shared vault meant twenty trips through a menu, and each one arrived stripped of the group it had been filed under, so the shelf had to be rebuilt by hand on the other side. Moving the shelf is what people were attempting. MOVE sits between EDIT and DELETE over the group cards, and on the card's own menu above the separator DELETE is below — the same place, and the same reasoning, as the host pane's ⋯ entry. **The whole subtree goes, and taking less was never coherent.** A group's children are items of the vault it is leaving, so a parent moved alone leaves them naming a tombstone and they surface as roots in the vault the user has just emptied: half a shelf here and half there, from one gesture that said "move this". The hosts are the same argument and are the half the request was about. The groups go first, top down, and the hosts last. Each item is re-sealed under the destination's key and takes a new id — VaultItemRepository.MoveAsync, which HostGroupRepository now exposes — so nothing pointing at a group can be written until that group has landed and its new id is known, and a child's parent must already be over there. What an interruption leaves is therefore hosts still in the vault they started in, under UNGROUPED: visible, and re-movable. The reverse order would leave hosts in the destination filed under nothing. The parent stays behind and the tags are dropped, which is the host move's rule one level up: both are items of the vault being left, so a reference carried across would resolve on the machine that moved it and dangle for everybody else in the destination. The moved group arrives at the top level, and the panel says so before the press rather than the status line saying it after. Keys and passwords are kept — those genuinely resolve across vaults, and clearing them would take a working host and make one that cannot connect — and any now outside the destination is named, because that is precisely what the other members of it will not be able to resolve. Refused as a whole where anything under the group was written by a newer client, rather than skipped item by item: a move that left behind what it could not re-encode would file some of the shelf in one vault and the rest in the other, which is the state this exists to prevent. Refused with a host editor open, as the drop gesture is, because it rewrites hosts. And the walk carries a visited set, for the reason every walk over this tree does: a group that is its own parent — which two offline clients can build and no editor was ever shown — would otherwise be appended to the move list for as long as there was memory. **Deleting a group now asks what should become of the hosts under it, and that reverses a decision this repository had written down.** The deletion did not touch them: the reference was left dangling, the list resolved it to nothing, and the machines turned up under UNGROUPED. That was right for one of the two things people delete a group for and wrong for the other — a heading being tidied away should leave its machines alone, and a project that has been decommissioned is a shelf and everything on it — and nothing in the code can tell which of the two it is looking at. So it is asked. A tick rather than a pair of options, because the two answers are not equally weighted: keeping the hosts is recoverable and deleting them is not, so the safe answer is the one that needs no decision. It is off on every question, including the one that disarms it, or a tick left standing would destroy the next group's machines on the strength of a decision about the last one's. Once the deletion knows which hosts it means, leaving them naming something that has gone is a state kept for no reason, so the unticked answer writes too: N hosts with the reference cleared, where the ticked one writes N tombstones. That is the N writes HostGroupRepository refuses to hide behind a DeleteAsync overload, made where somebody asked for them and where the count is on screen first. The nested groups take the deleted group's place in the tree rather than being orphaned to the top level. A read-only host is skipped, counted and named, because unfiling it would re-encode a payload this build cannot represent — and the cost of skipping is a dangling id, which every reader here already survives. **Both are the desktop's alone**, and that is not an omission. The phone draws groups as headings in the host list and has never had a way to delete or move one; the two panels take the row of buttons over the group cards, and there is no such row on a 360dp screen to take. One test had to change its premise rather than its assertion. EditingAHostWhoseGroupIsGone built its dangling reference by deleting the group, which now unfiles instead — so it imports a host naming an id nothing resolves, which is what a group deleted on another machine actually looks like and is the only way that state still arises. The picker's placeholder is still needed and still covered. Four places said an item could not be moved between vaults. Two were about a group and were true when written; the other two were left stale by the host's move. All four now say what is true, including the design gaps document, where the chevron beside the vault name stays undrawn for the reason it already had.	2026-08-04 17:04:06 +02:00
jaap-jan	d02d103569	Take the group's EDIT and DELETE off the heading row ... A pair of buttons sat at the end of the GROUPS heading, and the card's own right-click menu arrived later offering the same two things. Two controls for one job, and the buttons were the harder of the two to read: a button beside a heading has no card under a pointer to mean, so it had to work its subject out — the selected card, or failing that the group the trail ends with, which once a group is open is not a card on screen at all. The menu never has that problem, because opening it is what aims it. The menu is the whole of Edit and Delete on the desktop now. ShowsGroupActions went with the buttons, since hiding them was all it did. GroupTarget stays: the menu's two entries read it after the code-behind has selected whatever was right-clicked, and its fallback to the open group is what makes + NEW HOST open on the group somebody is standing in rather than on none. One case changes shape. Opening a group with nothing inside it folds the card grid away, so from in there nothing can be right-clicked — renaming that group means pressing the trail back one level, to where it has a card of its own. The buttons used to cover it through the fallback. The trail was already the way out of an empty group, and 3.2a says so now. The test that pressed EDIT through its binding is replaced by one holding that no button on the screen commands either of them, which is the failure worth catching: a button coming back is not a compile error, and it would draw itself in place, aimed at the group the trail ends with. What that test covered — a command that has to accept an empty parameter, and act on the card the pointer was on — the two menu tests beside it already do.	2026-08-04 16:39:14 +02:00

jaap-jan	3f419cb19b	Let one card be selected at a time ... The hosts screen draws two grids, one above the other, and each is a ListBox with a selection of its own. Nothing joined them, so a group card and a host card could be lit at the same moment — two chosen things, under two pairs of buttons of which only one would act on whichever the eye had settled on. Both grids mark a selection the same way, so there was nothing on screen to say which of the two the next press belonged to. They share one mark now. Selecting a host clears the group and selecting a group clears the host, and that second one takes the detail pane down with it: a pane about one machine cannot go on standing beside a marked group, because nothing on it would be about what is selected. Losing a selection deliberately clears nothing. A null arrives whenever either list is rebuilt — every keystroke in the filter box and every background sync — and treating that as somebody deselecting would take the mark off a group card because a search emptied the grid beneath it. The reload needed the same guard for the same reason. It falls back to the first host when nothing is selected, which is what puts a target under CONNECT on a fresh unlock; with one mark between the two grids that fallback would have unselected a group nobody had touched, once a minute. It is skipped while a group holds the selection, and it moved into a method of its own because the comment saying why pushed ReloadHostsAsync past sixty lines. One consequence needed handling rather than accepting. The phone's only route into the group editor is a button on a heading in the host list, and it worked by selecting the group first — which under this rule takes the highlight off the machine somebody was about to connect to, on a screen that draws no group cards to say where it has gone. EditGroup takes the group as an argument now: the heading passes its own row, and the desktop's button beside the cards passes nothing and still means "the card that is selected". What the tests hold is the half that lives in the controls. Clearing the property has to reach the list that is drawing the card, and a selection nulled in the view model while the card stays highlighted is the exact failure this is about — so the rule is driven on the real screen, in both directions, against the ListBoxes' own SelectedItem. The desktop's EDIT is pressed through its binding for the same kind of reason: a command refusing the button's empty parameter would be a button that never fires, and nothing about the markup would say so.	2026-08-04 16:27:20 +02:00
jaap-jan	c39df3f51e	Share the shelf as well as what is on it, and ask a group which vault ... A group is where hosts are filed and what lends them a port, a username and a key, and until now it could only ever be made in the vault this machine files new items into. So sharing a vault shared the machines and not the arrangement: a colleague opened four hosts filed under a group they could read the name of and nothing else, and the group a teammate made had no card, no heading and no way to be corrected from the screen looking straight at the hosts inside it. Recorded as half shipped in docs/design-import-gaps.md, and this is the other half. The list stopped being the active vault's. It was narrow for two stated reasons — a row shown across vaults has to carry which vault it lives in, because rename and delete both need it, and two vaults may hold a "production" each, which a layout with one heading per group cannot tell apart — and both are now paid for rather than avoided. Every row carries its vault, the badge beside the name says which, and the two cards sit side by side saying what they are. The three shapes of the group read are now deliberately different sizes. The list is what a person looks at, so a hidden vault's groups leave it: a card that cannot be opened onto anything is worse than no card. The per-vault lists are what a picker offers, because a picker is always asking about one vault. The map is what a host's GroupId resolves through, and it stays widest of all — including over hidden vaults, since a group lends a port and hiding a vault must never change what one of its hosts dials. RebuildGroups is the one place hiding is applied, which is what keeps those answers apart. The editor asks which vault on the terms the host editor's picker set: while adding only, hidden where there is one writable vault, and never offered afterwards, because the two are encrypted under different keys and moving an item is a delete and a retype. Its parent picker is that vault's alone, for the reason the host editor's group picker is one level down — a parent in another vault is a level half the key holders cannot resolve, and their hosts would inherit from nothing. + NEW GROUP inside an open group departs from NewHost and takes that group's vault rather than the standing preference: a group made inside another is in its parent's vault by construction, and answering "inside PLATFORM" with a group elsewhere and no parent would drop the one thing the button said. Two smaller things follow from the cards spanning vaults. Dragging a host onto a group card in another vault is refused with both names, because the write it would make is exactly the id-nobody-can-resolve the host editor's picker was fixed to prevent, and treating it as "no group" would unfile a host somebody was plainly filing. And a group being renamed says its vault in the drawer's header, since the picker is not drawn for an existing one and renaming a colleague's shelf without being told whose it is is the edit most worth naming. The save target is a nullable field behind a property that falls back to the standing preference. The group name box is bound whether or not anything raised an editor over it — that is what the desktop's group bar was, and typing a name into it and pressing ADD is still a way to make a group, which would otherwise have written to no vault at all. 1575 tests pass, five more than before: a group filed into a shared vault is listed and renamed there, the editor's picker does not move the keychain screen's, the parent picker offers only its own vault, a cross-vault drop is refused, and hiding a vault takes the cards without changing what its hosts dial.	2026-08-04 16:27:16 +02:00
jaap-jan	be012585b3	Let a group be right-clicked, as a host already can ... The host cards have had a menu since the grid replaced the sidebar; the group cards above them had a double-click and two buttons beside the heading, and nothing that named the card under the pointer. Open, Edit and Delete are on them now, drawn and aimed the same way. On the list rather than in the item template, for the reason the host grid's is: the three commands are the vault's, and a ContextMenu inside a DataTemplate has the row for its data context, so every binding in it would silently resolve to nothing. The code-behind selects whatever was right-clicked before the menu opens, and that is what makes one menu act on the card under the pointer rather than on whichever was selected before. **Cancelled over the space around the cards, and here that guard is doing more than the host grid's.** GroupTarget falls back to the group whose contents are on screen when no card is selected — the right answer for a pair of buttons beside the heading, which would otherwise have no subject the moment a group with nothing inside it is opened, and the wrong one for a menu that opened on a card. Without the guard, right-clicking the gap beside the cards would offer to delete the group the trail ends with: a question about something the user is not pointing at, in the one menu where the answer is a deletion. Only Open takes a parameter, and it has to. OpenGroupCommand's null is a real argument rather than a missing one — it is the trail's first crumb, ALL HOSTS — so an entry with no parameter would not open the card, it would leave the group the user right-clicked and go back to the top level. Two tests beside the two the host menu already had. What they hold that a build cannot is the CommandParameter binding: a path that resolves to nothing compiles and draws, and the entry would then quietly do the opposite of what it says. The popup itself is still the platform's, so manual-checks 7.9 gained the group half of the same check.	2026-08-04 16:27:01 +02:00
jaap-jan	bee6202949	Let a host be moved to another vault ... The one thing the host editor's vault picker has always been unable to offer, and the comment beside it said so: an existing host's vault was not a field because the two vaults are encrypted under different keys. That is still true. What changed is that it is no longer a reason to have nothing. **A move is a copy and a tombstone, and it cannot be anything else.** A payload is sealed under its vault's key and its AAD binds the vault, the entity id and the item version, so no edit moves one and no server call could — the server holds ciphertext it cannot read. What crosses is the plaintext, in this process, between an unwrap under one key and a seal under another. VaultItemRepository gained MoveAsync for it, so the three decisions below live in one place with their reasons rather than being re-derived at each call site. The item takes a new id. Keeping it would put one entity id in two vaults, and the item table is keyed on the type and the id rather than on the vault — so the destination's row and the source's tombstone would be the same row, and the move would delete what it had just written. The write comes first and the tombstone second, which decides what an interruption leaves: a copy in both vaults, visible and deletable, rather than a tombstone with nothing on the other side. Both are queued rather than sent, so the window is a crash between two local writes; it is still worth being on the survivable side of. Two activity lines rather than one, because that is what the two vaults actually record. A single "moved" line would have to be written to one of them and would be missing from the other's history. **The group and the tags stay behind, and that is the half that makes this honest.** Both are items of the vault the host is leaving: the editor's group picker offers one vault's groups and the chips are drawn from one vault's tags. A host carrying either across would resolve it on the machine that moved it — groups and tags are resolved over every readable vault — and dangle for everybody else in the destination. The mover and their colleagues would be looking at two different hosts. Cleared and reported beats carried and invisible. The key or password binding is kept, and the difference is not inconsistency. Those genuinely resolve across vaults — one key on twenty hosts in three vaults is the arrangement they exist for — so clearing them would take a working host and make one that cannot connect. What the message does instead is name a binding that is now outside the destination, because that is precisely what the other members of it will not be able to resolve. **It is not in the editor**, on either head: the desktop puts it in the detail pane's ⋯ menu above the separator Delete sits below, and the phone beside EDIT. A picker inside the form would move a machine as a side effect of correcting a port, which is the bug the editor's own vault picker was fenced off to prevent in the first place. The panel takes the footer as the deletion question does, and says what will be left behind before the tap rather than after it — on a phone, where the status line afterwards is one line on a screen somebody has already navigated away from, that is the only place it reliably gets read. The phone hides the button where there is nowhere to go rather than offering one that answers with a refusal; the desktop keeps its menu entry either way, because a menu that grew and shrank would be a menu whose items move. One thing found while writing the test and deliberately not changed. The pass that follows every write on this screen reports what it moved and supersedes the confirmation — for a save and a delete as much as for a move — so the move's own sentence is what somebody sees offline. The test asserts it in that state and says why. Making confirmations survive their own sync pass is a question about the whole screen rather than about this. Four places said an item could never be moved, two of them sentences on screen in both heads. All four now say what is true, including the design gaps document, where the chevron beside the vault name stays undrawn for a different reason: a chevron on a subtitle implies an edit, and this is a re-seal, a new id and two references left behind.	2026-08-04 16:04:15 +02:00
jaap-jan	e9cea2ccbc	Let a shared vault arrive, a bucket be found, and a vault be deleted ... Three things a user reported, one of which was a real bug and one of which was not the bug it looked like. **A vault shared with somebody never reached their machine.** The grant was correct at both ends: the sharing client verified the recipient's key against the key log and wrapped every generation to it, the server stored it, and /me would have returned it. Nothing asked. VaultSession.RefreshVaultsAsync — the method whose own summary says it is "called after a share and on a periodic pass" — had no caller anywhere in the application, so the vault list was whatever the last browser sign-in cached. A restart did not help: an offline unlock reads that same cache. The vault appeared only if the recipient happened to sign in through the browser again, which is why this looked like sharing being broken rather than like a list that was never re-read. So every synchronisation pass now re-reads it, before it syncs. SyncOnceAsync takes the whole server rather than its sync half for that reason, and the order matters: a vault admitted by the refresh is one that same pass then pulls, where the other order would show a newly shared vault as an empty one until the minute after. The shell is told only when the set actually changed — it rebuilds the tab strip's vault menu from the session's list, and doing that on every quiet pass would rebuild a menu once a minute for nothing. The test needed the fake server to be able to do something no test here had needed before: hand this account a vault it did not make. ShareVaultWithMe wraps a real key to the encryption key this account enrolled, so the keyring opens it exactly as it opens a real colleague's — a helper that filled the field with bytes would let a vault appear in the list and never prove it could be read. **Adding an S3 bucket on the desktop works, and could not be found.** The report was that it is not possible; driving the real XAML headlessly says otherwise — Keychain, + BUCKET, and the editor saves. What is true is that S3 is where somebody goes looking, and from there SELECT BUCKET opened a combo box with nothing in it and no sentence anywhere saying that a bucket is a keychain item. From where the user was standing that is indistinguishable from an application with no way to add one. The empty state now says what a bucket is and offers a button that lands on the keychain with the editor already open — navigating to the screen and leaving + BUCKET to be found among five buttons would be most of the same problem. The phone gets the sentence and no button: its keychain screen reads and deletes and edits nothing, so there is no editor to send anybody to, and naming the machine that has one beats an empty control that reads as a screen still loading. The keychain screen's layout test grew the two categories it never covered. Tags and buckets arrived after it was written, and the header strip it measures is one that has overflowed twice before. **A vault can now be deleted.** DELETE /api/v1/vaults/{id}, gated on Admin — the line the rename already drew, for a stronger version of its reason, since this takes the vault from everybody in it at once. The row is soft-deleted and every grant to it withdrawn in one write; VaultAccessService filters on the stamp at both ends, so from that moment the vault is absent from every member's /me and every call naming it answers 404. Their clients notice on the pass described above. The team behind it is archived when it owned nothing else, which is the mirror of renaming it: a vault made from the vaults screen gets a team named after it that nobody was ever shown, and leaving that behind would leave a membership list no screen has a row for. That is a second call rather than one transaction — archiving is TeamService's, it refuses while a team owns vaults, and it can only tell that this one no longer does once the deletion is committed. A crash between the two leaves an empty team: invisible, archivable afterwards, harmless, and a better failure than a vault that could not be deleted because tidying up after it did not work. Two refusals worth stating. The personal vault cannot be deleted at either end: it is created by enrollment, everything filed nowhere else lives in it, and no call would make another. And the items are kept — ciphertext behind a vault nothing will resolve, so deleting them buys no confidentiality while destroying what an operator undoing a mistake would need. The client drops the key from the keyring and the row from the cache rather than waiting for a refresh, so the list is right immediately; the items stay, as they stay for a vault whose grant was withdrawn, because a copy is on every other member's machine too and removing these rows would be the client pretending to a reach it does not have. The confirmation says that out loud before it is answered. It is the one sentence this screen must not leave implied: deletion is no more retroactive than revocation is. See ADR 0001. Desktop only, deliberately. The Android vaults screen offers no rename and no hand-over either, so adding delete alone there would be the one destructive vault operation on a screen with no other. Three places asserted that a vault can never be deleted — TeamService's refusal message, the TeamNotEmpty problem code, and ADR 0009 — and each now names the route instead.	2026-08-04 15:34:40 +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	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	01d54ba4fa	Put the trail above the GROUPS label rather than under it ... It was drawn as the transfers screen's is, under the heading of the list it belongs to. That is right there and wrong here: over there a path describes the one pane beneath it, and this one describes two. Opening a group narrows the host grid as well as the row of cards, so a trail sitting under GROUPS reads as one more fact about the groups while it is also the reason the grid at the bottom of the screen is showing eleven machines instead of forty. So it is the first thing in the section, and both headings below — GROUPS and HOSTS — belong to it. Markup only: the trail moved, the note on it says why it is not placed like its sibling, and the group buttons' note now points up rather than down. 85 layout tests pass, including the one that presses a rendered crumb and would have caught the $parent binding failing to resolve from its new place.	2026-08-03 16:32:09 +02:00

jaap-jan	e3dfe5c371	Make the host pane something you ask for, and draw it as cards ... THE DRAWER USED TO ARRIVE WITH THE SELECTION. IsDrawerOpen read "a host is selected", so touching any card took 304 pixels off the grid — including every card arrowed past on the way to the one somebody wanted. Choosing among forty machines was charged the price of the pane for one of them. A pencil now appears on the card under the pointer and on the selected card, and that is what opens it; IsHostPaneOpen is the flag, and the grid's context menu gained Details… so the pane is reachable without a pointer, which a hover-only control is not. Once open it follows the selection rather than pinning the host it was opened on: a pane about one host beside a grid marking a different one is two answers to the same question. Losing the selection closes it and clears the flag, or a filter matching nothing would leave the pane armed to spring open again on the next card merely selected — which is the behaviour the pencil exists to remove. The pencil is drawn over the card rather than in a column of its own. A column would have cost the name 30 pixels of a 232-pixel tile, permanently, for a control that is only there while the pointer is; the dot and the pencil stack in the two corners of that edge instead. IsVisible and not opacity, because a button at zero opacity still takes the click and the card underneath does not. A HEADER, A BODY THAT SCROLLS, AND A FOOTER, which is the one structural change in the pane. The header names what the drawer is about and carries the two things true of every panel; the footer carries the one thing each panel is for — CONNECT, or SAVE, or the question about deleting. Only the middle scrolls, so the button somebody came here to press can no longer be below the fold, which CONNECT could be on a host with fifteen tags. That also widens what the layout harness certifies: it skips anything inside a ScrollViewer, and the control each panel exists to offer is now outside one. THE SAME THREE CARDS TWICE. Address, General, Connection — first as rows stating what the host is, then as boxes for changing it. The detail pane's rows are buttons that open the editor: the design draws every fact as a filled box, and rather than draw an input that refuses the pointer, pressing one leads to the same card with a real box in it. Nothing here saves as you type, and that is not timidity — saving validates the key-or-credential exclusion and writes one encrypted payload, so a box committing per keystroke would be a save per character and a half-typed hostname on the wire. Every value the pane prints is the resolved one, and says "inherited" beside it where a group supplied it. The number is the same either way and the edit is not: clearing a group's default moves every host that never overrode it. A HOST CARD IS TWO LINES AND NO CHIPS. The subtitle is now "ssh, root, pci, eu-west-1" — the transport, the resolved account, then every tag — replacing both the user@host:port line and the wrapped row of tag chips under it. The address went to the card's tooltip rather than nowhere: a card is read while scanning forty machines, where the name and the kind of machine are what is being looked for, and an address is what you read once you have found it. "ssh" is a constant today and is printed anyway, which is the one thing here that argues with this codebase's own rule about constants dressed as readings. It is the first item of a list whose other items vary, and a list beginning with the account on one card and a tag on the next has no shape to scan. The remark on HostRowViewModel.Summary says so rather than leaving it to be discovered. WHAT THE DESIGN DRAWS AND THIS PANE HAS NOT GOT: Share this host, Add Telnet, "SSH ID, Certificate, FIDO2", the backspace-key mapping row, the vault picker's chevron and Show more. Sharing is per vault and not per item, every session here is an SSH channel, there are no identity or certificate item types, nothing carries a terminal setting to the renderer, and an item cannot be moved between vaults at all. Six controls with nothing behind them, listed in docs/design-import-gaps.md with what ships instead, and none drawn disabled. The credentials row is marked with ◆ rather than the ⚿ the nav rail uses for the keychain. U+26BF is outside both faces this application substitutes for the design's fonts, so it lands on whatever the platform's fallback has; every other glyph in the pane is from Geometric Shapes, which both carry.	2026-08-03 16:26:43 +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	61139bd469	Move the SFTP and S3 connection into the right-hand pane ... THE CONNECT BAR IS GONE. It was a 44-pixel strip across the top of the file screen holding a heading, a picker, a password box and a button — chrome spanning both panes in order to configure one of them, drawn at full width whether or not anything was ever going to be connected. Underneath it sat a pane that was empty for exactly the same reason, saying so in a sentence nobody had to be told twice. So the pane says it instead. Disconnected, the right-hand half is an invitation where the listing would be: what the screen is for, what pressing the button costs, and one thing to press. SELECT HOST opens the picker in place — the same combo, the same password box, the same CONNECT — and the sentence and the button go away with it, because by then they have been read or they have not. Two steps rather than a picker sitting open, and that is not decoration. The reason the pane is empty is the question, and a combo box in the middle of it is a form with no question above it. The two steps also keep the panel inside its budget, which is the pane's height less whatever the queue has taken — 268 pixels with three transfers on it. Neither shape reaches the floor, and the layout suite measures both. IsChoosingRemote is cleared by everything that changes what the picker would be picking: connecting, disconnecting, moving between the SFTP and S3 tabs, and losing the vault. The last two are the ones that would rot quietly — a picker surviving a hop to the other tab offers hosts on a screen showing buckets, and one surviving a lock offers a list that has just been emptied because its rows carried decrypted secrets. CANCEL takes the typed password with it, which is a secret nobody asked to keep. WHERE THE TWO CONNECTED FACTS WENT. The address chip and DISCONNECT are a strip of their own inside the remote pane, above the listing — not three more cells in the header beside UP, REFRESH and DELETE. That pane is 381 pixels wide at the window's minimum and a fourth control in that row would have pushed one of the three off the edge; the number is written into the markup so the next thing added to either row is measured against it rather than tried. The status line did not fit there either. What is left after a 170-pixel address and a DISCONNECT is about eighty pixels, which turns every sentence into its first word and an ellipsis, so while a session is open it is in the queue's own strip at the foot of the screen, which spans the window. The other half of the time it is inside the invitation, beside the button that provoked it. One home in each state rather than two homes in one and none in the other. The header label reads HOST or BUCKET now, which is the only thing on the screen naming the kind — the bar that printed SFTP or S3 is gone and the tab in the strip says it either way, whether or not this screen is showing. The opening status text was "Choose a host and connect to browse its files", which the invitation now says in a heading, a sentence and a button. It is "Nothing is open yet.": a state rather than an instruction. That string is shared with the phone, where it still reads correctly under the picker card that head shows directly. Desktop only, and the phone is unchanged rather than merely untouched. Its FilesScreen is one pane at a time, so the picker *is* what it shows before a connection exists; it binds none of the new members. Four tests. Three in the layout suite — the picker open over a full queue, which is the tall shape and the one that has to be measured with the panes at their least; the bucket picker, which is a row shorter because an object store has nothing to type; and a session open with a long enough address to prove the chip gives way before DISCONNECT does. The fourth is the picker's lifecycle in ShellFlowTests, over all four things that put it away. 302 tests pass across the two suites.	2026-08-03 15:50:31 +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	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	d6cd8825fc	Let the launcher icon catch up with the mark v2 already drew everywhere else ... TitleBar and PhoneShell have drawn >_ knocked out of a solid accent tile since v2, and both say in a comment that the launcher icon draws the same thing so the three cannot drift. The launcher was still v1: an outlined square in the accent. The comments are true now. On Android the tile is the background layer rather than a rounded rectangle in the foreground, because the rounding a launcher applies is its mask. Drawing the tile would put a second rounded shape inside the mask, clipped at the corners on any device whose mask is not the one it was drawn for; leaving it to the mask gets a squircle on one device and a circle on another for free. Windows has no mask, so dodossh.ico still draws its own corners. The monochrome layer keeps only the glyph. A themed icon drops the background, which is where the tile now lives, and a layer filled to the edges to stand in for it would tint to a featureless square. The glyph is half the width of the safe zone, taken from the two headers rather than invented -- both set >_ a little under half the tile across. It is also markedly more legible small than the outline was: dark on accent at 16px is a mark, where a sub-pixel hairline was a smudge.	2026-08-03 14:45:18 +02:00

jaap-jan	b86ff6158b	Keep the password that just worked, so the host stops asking for it ... The vault has held credentials and host bindings since they landed, and the only route from a typed password into one ran through two screens: add a password under Keychain, open the host, bind it. The password box's own tooltip instructed people to do exactly that by hand — which means typing the secret a second time, into a screen that has no idea which host it is for, while the screen that does have the password is the one being left behind. A tick beside the box does it in one step. What it produces is an ordinary CredentialSecret, named after the host, bound through CredentialId with AsksForPassword cleared beside it. That is the whole reason nothing else here had to change: it syncs, it merges, it appears in the keychain, it can be renamed and deleted, and it can be bound to the other nineteen machines that share the account. A password field on HostSecret would have been a payload schema bump, a fourth place a secret lives, and a copy per host to rotate and forget. It waits for a handshake the remote accepted, and that is not caution for its own sake. Binding on the keystroke would store whatever was in the box — including the typo about to be refused — and the host would then stop asking, leaving a machine nobody can connect to until they work out that the keychain is where the wrong password now lives. For the same reason the password is read from the credential as dialled rather than from the box, which stays typeable throughout a handshake. Off by default, because the typed box exists precisely for the passwords that should not be in a synchronised vault — a one-off on a machine somebody will never open again. The credential is written into the host's own vault rather than the active one: in the personal vault, bound to a team's host, it would be a binding every other member can see and none of them can resolve. One thing is given up knowingly. The confirmation naming where the password went is replaced a moment later by the auto-sync's own count, exactly as SaveHostAsync's "Saved 'x'" is; this follows that rather than becoming the one write that suppresses a sync line. The feedback that lasts is the row answering "credential" and the box disappearing — which is also the only way to store a password on the phone at all, since that head lists credentials but has never had an editor to create one in.	2026-08-03 14:40:25 +02:00
jaap-jan	c7c844f7bd	Give the desktop head the mark the phone has carried all along ... The window had no icon and the executable had no icon, so Windows drew its generic one in the taskbar, in alt-tab and in Explorer, next to an application that draws its own titlebar precisely so that nothing about it looks borrowed. The geometry is the launcher vector's, mapped so the middle 72 of its 108-unit viewport fills the canvas: that 72 is what an adaptive icon actually shows, and rendering the full 108 would draw the mark at 39% of the width. Nine sizes, because Windows asks for several and downsamples unkindly when one is missing, and a floor of one pixel on the strokes so 16px is a mark rather than a smudge. Windows takes an .ico and nothing else, so the raster the phone does not need exists here. dodossh-icon.ps1 sits beside it and draws it from those same numbers, so the two heads still have one geometry between them.	2026-08-03 14:34:39 +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-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	b7335743d9	Make a host take what its group lends it, everywhere it is read ... Step 4 of docs/adding-hosts-on-the-phone.md. The domain could resolve a host against its groups; nothing asked it to. This is the wiring, and it is mostly one change repeated: read the resolved host, not the stored one. TryBuildAuthentication and TryBuildConnectionRequest now take the resolved value beside the stored one, which is where group context was being lost. It is the only authentication resolution in the product — both heads and both transports come through it — so a host inheriting its binding would otherwise have been offered a password prompt on every screen at once. The credential-username fallback becomes three levels, and Complete still refuses an empty username, but now only after the chain has been walked; refusing before it would refuse exactly the hosts inheritance exists to serve. HostRowViewModel carries its ResolvedHost, resolved once when the list is built. Address, Authentication and Dialled read it, so a row cannot disagree with itself about what it dials — and MainWindowViewModel.Rank searches Address, so a host inheriting 2222 that displayed 22 would have been unfindable by the port it actually answers on. HostsBoundTo counts over the resolved binding, which is the difference between a warning and a silence: a key bound once on a group and inherited by twenty hosts named nobody, would have been deleted, and would then have refused all twenty at connect time. HostFields.From is answered by a refusal rather than by threading a group list through the sync engine. A relay host may not inherit its port. The reason is stronger than the convenience: a plaintext column is a derived duplicate the client supplies when it pushes *this* host, so an inherited port would make it depend on another item — editing a group would change what the relay dials for every host beneath it, except that nothing re-pushes those hosts, so the server would keep dialling the old port until each was next touched for some unrelated reason. A stale wire on the relay path connects the user to the wrong service. The editor distinguishes unset from explicit in both directions. An empty port box means "take the group's" and shows what that will be as a placeholder, following the group picker as it moves — a pre-filled 2222 would have been indistinguishable from one the user typed, and saving would have pinned it. The authentication picker gains a fourth entry, offered only to a host in a group, because for an ungrouped host it would behave exactly like the first. Which found a real defect while the tests were being written. Filing an ungrouped host into a group silently pinned it to a typed password: the picker had no "Inherit" entry when it opened, so it sat on "Password (ask each time)", and saving wrote that as a decision — the host would have been pinned to a prompt nobody asked for and the group's key would never have reached it. Two guards now: the picker is rebuilt when the group changes, and BuildHost writes AsksForPassword only for a host that had the alternative on offer. The group editor is here too, and the plan never assigned it a step. Without it no group can carry a default, so every line above would have been unreachable. It grows a parent picker that leaves out the group itself and everything beneath it — a courtesy rather than the guarantee, since a cycle assembled from two offline re-parents was never offered that list — and three defaults beside the name, each of which may be left empty because "lend nothing" is an answer. Tags are stored and not editable. TagIds merges, encodes and resolves; no screen can set one yet, and the editor carries the set through a save untouched so a client that can set them does not lose them to somebody editing a port. Eight new tests, and they dial. That is the point of them: a resolved value that never reaches SshConnectionRequest is a label, and every one of these failures would be silent — a host connecting to the wrong port, or being asked for a password it does not need, with nothing on screen admitting it. Verified by the whole suite: 1390 tests over nineteen projects, none failing. Both heads build. Nothing on the phone has changed.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	359087f1ce	Give the tabs their hover back, and the plus the shape its comment claims ... Two things v2 broke in the last commit, both found by reading resolved brushes rather than markup, and both the same mistake: Avalonia has no specificity, so the later declaration wins, and a rule that restated the base instead of excepting from it went in below the rules it was supposed to be underneath. Making a tab a pill gave it a Background of its own, which the flat tab it replaced never had. That one detail moved where the hover has to live. `Button.flat:pointerover` is declared far above and had been supplying it; the moment `Button.tab`'s template rule set a Background, it won, and every tab in the strip stopped answering the pointer. Silently — a tab that no longer lights is not a crash and not a layout change, and nothing in a suite that measures heights and reachability can see it. The `+` lost more than that. It sits below as an exception — no outline, because it is not one of the things being chosen between — and a `.tab` rule declared after it was overriding the exception itself. It drew as a filled, outlined pill identical to a tab, contradicting the comment directly above it. So the base pill and its hover come first now and the exceptions follow, which is the order the rest of this file already uses and the order the Border.rowmark note further down was written about. The `+` clears the fill as well as the border, because an exception to a rule that sets both has to say both. The titlebar's search box had the same shape of error in geometry rather than colour. The design draws it at exactly 380 and centred, and stating that as a Width on the inner Border is what made it wrong: the button around it is free to shrink when the account name or the vault chip beside it is long, and a Border that will not shrink with it arranges outside its own parent — over the name on one side and over the window buttons on the other. MaxWidth on a stretching button gives the same 380 whenever there is room and gives way when there is not. The regression test is the point of this commit rather than an afterthought. It is the only test in that suite that reads a brush, and the gap it fills is exactly the one these two went through: everything else measures rectangles. It hovers a tab through the real input path and asserts the fill changes, then asserts the `+` is neither filled like a tab nor outlined like one. Checked against the broken ordering before being kept — it fails there and passes here, which is the only thing that makes a regression test worth committing. Verified by the whole suite: 1310 tests over nineteen projects, none failing, the layout suite now 70 cases. Both heads build. Still nothing seen on a display.

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-janandClaude Opus 5	5593f337b6	Give the phone the second design, and both heads the palette it arrives with ... The Android v2 design is what this head draws now: four destinations in a bottom bar — Hosts, Terminal, Keychain, More — with snippets, SFTP, S3, logs and preferences one tap deeper behind the last. The first design's four had nothing behind them, which is what made a hub worth building. The palette moved from green-black to blue-black, and it moved in the shared project because that is where it lives and the desktop v2 specifies the same seventeen tokens. One colour changed meaning rather than value, and it is the only semantic change in the file. Green used to *be* the accent, so Ellipse.dot.live filled with Accent and "the thing to press" and "a shell is open on this host" were the same colour by construction. v2 makes the accent blue and keeps a green for status alone, which finally separates them: Live is that green and nothing merely interactive may use it. The accent is also two colours now — Accent fills, AccentText writes — because a row of chips in the fill colour is a row of things that all look like the primary action. A palette is not one file, which is the part worth knowing before the next one. Nine hex literals lived outside it: the nav bar's own label colours, the accessory keys and their Ctrl-latched state, two scrims, the window background Android paints before Avalonia has a frame, and the launcher vector. The two C# sites now resolve from the dictionary by name rather than restating it. The renderer's page cannot — it is served to a WebView over a loopback socket — so terminal.css and terminal.js keep hand-copied values and say so at both sites. ShellScreen gained More and Buckets, appended rather than slotted in. SFTP and S3 are one screen over one TransfersViewModel differing only in which picker they offer, and the kind is set by the button that navigates rather than on arrival — doing it in OnScreenChanged made every arrival at Transfers force the picker back to hosts, including the desktop's own rail arriving at a screen with a bucket already open. It refuses to change kind while a session is live, because there is one session behind both destinations and switching under it would title a screen S3 while it listed an SFTP host. What the design draws and this does not, on the usual grounds. The FORWARDING screen: nothing here forwards anything, so every toggle would be a control with no effect — it is a paragraph on the hub naming the absence, for the reason the desktop keeps TEAMS in its rail. The terminal's `23 ms · fwd 5432`. An ED25519 badge and a SHA256 line on keychain cards, which need an algorithm field and a fingerprint the item type does not have. An `agent` chip, for an agent that does not exist. Snippet run history and exit codes. The Logs FOLLOW pill, which claims a live tail over records that are written once at close and read when the screen opens, and the severity filter, which has nothing to count — that chip row is spent on the real choice, which of the two logs. S3 bucket totals and lifecycle. And the + on HOSTS, which would open a host editor this head has not got. SFTP is browse, open and delete. Both transfer commands work, and what they work against is the local pane: QueueDownloads writes to Path.Combine(LocalPath, name), and LocalPath starts at SpecialFolder.UserProfile, which on Android is the application's own private directory. A download would have reported success and left the file where the person who asked for it cannot open it, which is worse than not offering it — a refusal is visible and a file in /data/user/0/ is not. The queue is not drawn either, since nothing here can put anything in it. Both return with the document picker. The foreground service still counts zero transfers, and the reason moved rather than went away. Four defects worth naming, because three of them are the kind that compile. A Button as a ListBox ItemTemplate swallows the pointer press before the list sees it, so the files listing selected nothing and every command reading the selection did nothing — the row is a Border now and the phone-only single-tap-to-open is a Tapped handler, which also keeps a desktop single click from walking into directories. Avalonia type selectors are exact, so TextBlock.fingerprint never matched SelectableTextBlock and every fingerprint on this head rendered proportional and unwrapped: that was breaking the never-truncated rule on the host-key sheet already. The new two-level hierarchy had no handler for the system back gesture, so back left the application from a log screen. And the tab's close cross had shrunk to a 30x32 target flush against the select target, which is the one control here that ends a shell with no confirmation and no undo. Fingerprint unlock is raised on arriving at the lock screen rather than waiting for its button, which is still there. Only at launch: a lock the user asked for is not answered with an immediate request to unlock, which makes LOCK look inert and trains the reflex of authenticating at a prompt nobody asked for. And once, because a declined gesture leaves the passphrase box exactly where it was and a prompt that came back after being dismissed would be a modal you cannot get out of to type into it. Two fixes fall on the desktop. Its file listing coloured directories with Info and executables with Accent, which was blue against green and is now two steps of one blue; an executable is Live now. And a bucket's folders were drawn with a 0001-01-01 timestamp, because a prefix has no modification time — blank now, for the reason a directory's size is blank. Verified by the whole suite: 1309 tests over nineteen projects, none failing, including the layout suite that stands up real Avalonia and parses every desktop screen. Both heads build. Not verified on a device — nothing in this head ever has been; see docs/android-port.md.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	c00e5dbc5c	Let the terminal's text be made bigger, and remember how big ... Taking pinch-zoom off the phone left nothing in its place, and there was nothing on the desktop either. This is the replacement, and it is deliberately not the thing that was removed: zoom scales what has already been drawn, so the remote goes on wrapping to a width that is no longer on screen. Changing the font size refits the grid and reports the new column count, so the far end is told it has fewer columns. That round trip is the feature. The size is one number, owned by the shell. It has to be, for two reasons that pull the same way: it must survive a relaunch, and it must be reachable from a phone that has no Ctrl key to press. So the page asks and the host decides — a signed step over a new client opcode, answered with a size over a new server opcode. The phone's buttons and the desktop's chords arrive at the same place, and a size set by either is the size both remember. Stored in settings.json beside the cache rather than in it, and that is not laziness about a migration. The cache is encrypted and unreadable until a vault is unlocked, and the first terminal of a locked launch needs the size already. Nothing secret may go in that file; ClientSettings says so out loud, because the next person to add a preference is the one who needs to read it. Where it is reachable from differs per head, and only here. The phone gets A− and A+ on the connection line — not in the accessory row, which scrolls, and a control that fixes unreadable text must never be the thing that is off-screen. The desktop gets the three chords every terminal emulator has, answered by the page while a terminal has focus and by the window when it does not, plus a row in preferences that shows the current value and names the chords rather than replacing them. Someone whose terminal is too small to read is not in a position to go looking. Clamped 8 to 32. Below eight a monospace grid stops being legible and becomes a texture, and every column of it is still a column the remote is being told exists; above thirty-two a phone in portrait has too few columns to hold a prompt. The buttons disable at the ends rather than accepting presses that do nothing, which on a terminal reads as the application having stopped responding. The preferences screen's header comment claimed none of the design's terminal settings could be saved, and listed the three things that were missing to make one work. All three now exist, so it says which one is real and why the other five still are not. Verified with the protocol suite — including that the step byte round-trips signed, since read unsigned a step down arrives as 255 and clamps to the largest font, making "smaller" do the most dramatic available version of "larger" — a data-plane test that the chord is heard with no session registered, and five shell tests: the default matches the renderer's, both clamps hold, reset works, and a size chosen in one shell is there in a second one over the same profile directory. Layout suite and both heads build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-02 13:15:11 +02:00
jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	52596aac76	Ask the Linux WebView for the one mode it can draw in this window ... The terminal renders nothing on Linux, and does it in the most misleading way available: the page loads, the scripts run, the renderer connects, InvokeScript answers. Everything works except the pixels, so it reads as a broken terminal rather than as a host with nowhere to paint. Measured on Fedora 44 with Avalonia.Controls.WebView 12.0.1, by a spike that hosts a NativeWebView and reads AdapterInfo. The backend is WebKitGTK 2.52.5 — not the WPE one this repository's platform notes predicted, and Fedora packages no WPE WebKit at all, so that path was never going to be the answer here. In its default mode the adapter reports SupportedScenarios = NativeDialog: a window of its own, and nothing that can be hosted in place. Identical under X11 and Wayland, so it is the adapter's answer rather than a session problem. Setting ExperimentalOffscreen on the GTK environment arguments changes the same adapter's answer to OffscreenRenderer — the compositor-drawn mode, which is what the NativeWebViewCompositorHost mentioned in those same notes exists to host. MainWindow now sets it as the environment is settled. Windows and macOS are untouched by construction rather than by an OS check: the argument is a GTK type there and the handler does nothing. The platform notes carried this as "unproven, and still the largest risk in the plan". They carry the measurement now, including the part that is still unproven and the reason the spike could not settle it. What is NOT verified is that it now paints. An XWayland root capture is black under a Wayland compositor and RenderTargetBitmap does not capture a compositor surface, so both ways of looking at it from here failed. It needs eyes on a running client, and if the terminal is still blank the next question is whether it takes input at all — that separates "not drawing" from "not hosted".

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5	cf1a321d1e	Pin the font the layout suite measures, and let the slice say it means plaintext ... Two failures left on the runner, with nothing in common except that both only appear on a machine unlike the one anybody develops on. The runner is Alpine, musl, inside a container, with no fonts installed at all — and that combination is now reproducible locally, which is how these were fixed rather than guessed at. Both are verified by running the suite in it. The layout suite had two causes stacked, and the first hid the second completely. Missing libfontconfig stops libSkiaSharp loading, which the last commit fixed and which then revealed the real one: Avalonia takes its default font family from the platform, and on an image with no fonts there is no answer, so FontManager throws "Default font family name can't be null or empty" inside AppBuilder.SetupUnsafe — before a single test body runs, for all sixty-eight of them, naming none of their subjects. WithInterFont does not prevent it: it registers a collection without nominating a default. HeadlessApp's own comment already claimed it measured "the same Inter font the application registers", which was an intention the code never carried out. Both heads now name it, through FontManagerOptions.DefaultFamilyName. That is worth more than getting CI green: a suite whose entire job is measuring text was taking its metrics from whatever the machine happened to have — Segoe UI here, DejaVu there — and reporting the two as one number. It also means the application uses the font it has been shipping and declining to use since it first referenced the package; almost nothing moves visually, because App.axaml already sets MonoFont on essentially everything that draws. The end-to-end slice was the product being right and the test leaning on an accident. ServerConnection permits an http authority only when it is loopback. Testcontainers reports the host a container can actually be reached at, so running the suite directly gives localhost and passes, while running it inside a container gives the bridge gateway 172.17.0.1 and is refused — correctly, since a client that accepted plaintext metadata from a routable address would be a weakness for everyone who is not a test. Loosening that rule was the wrong repair. The slice now passes configureOidc and says out loud that it accepts plaintext from the Keycloak it started itself. Verified by reproducing the runner rather than approximating it: dotnet/sdk:10.0-alpine, musl-x64, fc-list returning zero, the docker socket mounted so Testcontainers resolves the gateway exactly as it does in CI. The whole solution passes there — 19 suites, 0 failures, 4 skipped — and the end-to-end failure was confirmed causal by reverting only that one file and watching it fail again in the same container. The layout suite also still passes on a Fedora desktop with 595 fonts, so the two agree now. Not verified on Windows, and it should be said plainly rather than left to be discovered: pinning the family changed the measured metrics there too, so a tight layout assertion could have moved. platform-flags.md records that, and corrects the entry the last commit added — "libfontconfig, and nothing else" was true of the container it was tested in and false of the runner.
