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.
