webclient: polish batch — caps off, kit badge/chip in header+input, search clear closes, mobile full-bleed input, settings centered ...

- chat-header-title and sidebar logo span: remove forced uppercase
- profile badge -> GnBadge (variant per profile: secretary secondary,
  server_admin warning, developer info); custom box styles dropped
- pending file pill -> GnChip (icon + removable); image thumb stays
  app-owned (no kit image-preview component) but on kit surface look
- sidebar search clear button now also closes the field
- input-row: no yellow focus ring; on mobile full-screen width, no
  borders, inner padding carries the breathing room
- sidebar footer: without-hover removed from gear/admin/logout buttons
  — kit hover returns
- settings: header and body centered, max-width 1200px

webclient: artifacts panel -> kit 1.0 visible pass ...

Tabs became kit chips (aria-pressed selected state, plain count inside),
empty states became GnEmptyState, action/refresh/close icon buttons moved
to kit btn-icon / GnIconButton, list badges to kit .badge variants. List
rows dropped the filled-box look for the kit idiom: subtle hover fill and
a left accent bar with panel-muted fill for the selected row. Header is
now stretchable so wrapped chips don't clip. Raw hexes and font literals
replaced with --gn-* tokens.

webclient: center lightbox photo in the modal panel ...

Kit's .modal .modal-dialog .modal-panel min-height rule (0,3,0) beat the
lightbox's own override, so shorter photos sat at the top of an empty
panel and the dialog hugged them horizontally. Drop the shrink-wrap, let
the dialog keep the standard kit width and center the image in the panel
body both ways.

webclient: replace vue-virtual-scroller with plain content-visibility rendering ...

The virtual scroller's measurement states duplicated item views (parked
copies at translateY(-9999) alongside working ones), which made tool/plan/
thinking cards unclickable and the chat flicker. Both chat messages and
the session sidebar are now plain v-for lists; off-screen rows skip
render/paint via content-visibility: auto, keeping long sessions cheap
without the scroller engine. Library removed from dependencies.

webclient: reconnect banner -> GnAlert (kit warning styling)

webclient: W5 — icon/variant audit + design-system docs in CLAUDE.md ...

- ApiKeysPanel: dropped invalid variant="ghost" on GnIconButton (the
  component has no variant prop — it leaked into the DOM as an attribute)
- Icon audit: all icon props/classes carry the required ph base class
  and ph- prefix (kit v1.0 dev-warning otherwise); variant whitelist
  (primary/secondary/warning/danger/info) confirmed against the kit
- webclient/CLAUDE.md: new 'Design system (gnexus-ui-kit v1.0)' section
  — points to vendor/gnexus-ui-kit/CLAUDE.md, documents prebuilt-css
  consumption, dark kit.css theme, --gn-* + kit-deps tokens, icon rule,
  test-locked app classes, and the documented non-kit surfaces

webclient: W4 — chat empty state -> GnEmptyState, card modal -> GnModal ...

- ChatArea: .empty-chat custom icon+text -> GnEmptyState card
  (keep .empty-chat wrapper only for centering)
- CardGrid: inline Teleport modal (overlay/close/scroll bespoke chrome
  removed) -> GnModal; .card-modal/.card-modal-title class names kept
  inside the new DOM (test contract); kit header slot renders the title
- WelcomeScreen: typography aligned to kit (30px h1, 14px base),
  profile cards get -radius-md, dead .profile-icon style dropped
- CardGrid test: mount with the kit plugin (GnModal resolves),
  two nextTicks for the post-flush open watcher

Verified: vitest 111 passed, build OK, welcome screenshot unchanged
(modal/empty-state visually checked after final build)

webclient: W3 — migrate settings/sidebar/chip surfaces onto kit components ...

- AppSidebar: hand-styled <select> -> GnSelect (options computed from the
  profiles store); the ~60-line bespoke select styling in app.scss is now
  three compact overrides collapsing GnSelect's form chrome for the slim
  sidebar row
- ApiKeysPanel: bespoke grid-table -> GnTable with cell slots (monospace
  key prefix, formatted dates, revoke GnIconButton in actions); loading
  state -> GnLoader; no-auth callout -> GnAlert(variant=warning)
- NotificationSettingsPanel: unsupported-browser callout -> GnAlert(info)
- SettingsView: header -> GnPageHeader (compact) with sidebar toggle in
  #actions
- ShowTokenModal: token field -> GnInputGroup + GnCopyButton (drops the
  bespoke copy/useCopy wiring)
- QueuedMessagesChip: .task-chip div -> GnChip (icon prop)

Verified: vitest 111 passed, build OK, screenshots of / and #settings

webclient: retokenize styles onto gn-ui-kit v1.0 CSS variables ...

All ~165 legacy var() usages (--color-*, --surface*, --accent*, --border,
--text*) with hex fallbacks and ~150 raw hex literals across app.scss and
24 scoped style blocks are swapped to the kit's --gn-* tokens per the
intent of the old fallback values:

- accent/primary/teal (#7aa2f7/#4ec9b0) -> --gn-color-secondary
- amber/orange highlights -> --gn-color-accent
- text greys -> --gn-color-text-{light,medium,dark}
- panels -> --gn-surface-panel; elevated tints -> color-mix over panel
- translucent overlays -> color-mix(in srgb, ..., transparent)

Deliberately literal: terminal deep bg #0f0f14 (darker than any token)
and the content-card image badge teal #89dceb (kit has no teal). File
type badges keep a categorical palette via nearest kit tokens.

Dead "UI kit overrides" block halved: kit 1.0 dropped hover icon
rotation, so only the app-owned chevron open-state flip remains.

Verified: vitest 111 passed, build OK, dev render matches W1 baseline

webclient: merge Terminals into Backgrounds tab (single list) ...

One list of background tasks and terminals, running first. Row icon and
badge distinguish kind; details route to task or terminal card. Selection
resets on session switch and drops dangling entries when the selected
task/terminal disappears.

webclient: Backgrounds tab in artifacts panel + task toasts ...

- new Backgrounds tab: task list (running first, badges, per-tool icons)
  with a detail view (status, timestamps, sub-agent tokens, result/progress)
- GET /sessions/{id}/tasks snapshot endpoint: task_update events are not
  replayed on reconnect, so the client fetches the task list on session
  load/reload; live task_update entries are merged on top (chat.fetchTasks)
- terminal task_update no longer removes the entry — it marks it finished
  so the tab shows recent completions; _terminalTaskIds still blocks
  resurrection by a late running update
- toasts for background task start / finish (info / success / error) in
  the WS dispatch; silent for other sessions and unknown terminal ids
- persistent background-tasks chip removed (replaced by the tab); only
  the queued-messages chip stays
- fix invisible status text in terminal detail rows: filled .status-*
  backgrounds now scope to .terminal-status-badge only

webclient: virtualized message list (DynamicScroller) ...

- MessageList rewritten on vue-virtual-scroller DynamicScroller; only rows
  near the viewport mount (session switch 650-730ms longtask / DOM 31645 ->
  110-165ms / DOM 1-2.5k, zero freezes)
- scroller is keyed by session id: message ids repeat across sessions, so
  teardown drops the measured-size cache on switch
- convergeToBottom watches the bottom hold for a bounded window after
  landing (lazy row measurements nudge scrollHeight late); yields to wheel/
  pointer/touch input instead of scroll-position heuristics, which the
  scroller's own adjustments would trip
- renderMarkdown gets a byte-capped LRU memo so markdown remount cost is
  amortized while virtualized rows recycle
- removed dead .message-list/.message-list-inner styles

webclient: session-list polish from review pass ...

- documentTitle: persistent nameById map — names for sessions beyond the
  loaded list page (list only holds ~30); map filled by fetches and
  loadSession meta, never wiped by later refetches
- createSession: placeholder inserted at the position the server list
  would give it (after pinned run, last_active desc) so refetch no
  longer visibly moves the new row
- SessionItem: skip empty .session-icons wrapper when no icons
- drawer breakpoint made exclusive (-sidebar-drawer 1280 -> 1279.98):
  viewport of exactly 1280px now gets the desktop sidebar

webclient: fix session-list flicker and double-load on select ...

- fetchSessions merges into existing items (preserve object references)
  instead of wholesale array replacement — DynamicScroller reuses rows,
  the list no longer repaints/reflows on every refetch (measured: sidebar
  repaint spikes 8-17% per switch -> 0)
- AppSidebar.handleSelect no longer refetches the list on a plain select;
  refetch only when leaving search (the array still held search results)
- loadSession now lives only in handleSelect — SessionList.onSelect used
  to start a first load and handleSelect raced it with a second one
  (double fetch + double buildMessageList, incl. search-jump target)
- pinSession mutates in place instead of replacing every item object
- SessionItem.highlightText matches on the raw string so <mark> offsets
  stay correct when the text contains &/</>

webclient: loading indicators where the UI looked frozen ...

- session open: centered spinner in MessageList while chat.loading
- image paste/drop: imagesProcessing counter (chat store, shared);
  FilePreviewStrip shows spinner placeholder tiles where the resized
  previews will land
- file upload: indeterminate sliding bar instead of the fake static 60%
- send → run start gap: "Sending…" hint with spinner, cleared on
  stream_start / message_queued / stream end / error / session switch
- content-card images: skeleton with spinner until @load (reset on src
  change); wrapper keeps min-height while the img is empty

vitest 96 passed.

e2e fixes: tasks tool in profiles, bg timeout lift, stepIcon fix, queue semantics docs ...

E2E findings addressed:
- tasks tool was registered but not in any profile's tools.agent.native —
  added to all six profiles (agent could not check/wait/cancel bg tasks)
- detached terminal/code_exec/ssh_exec runs without explicit timeout are
  lifted to 300s: foreground defaults (20/30/60s) marked long commands
  'completed' with partial output while the process still ran
- ToolCard.vue: define stepIcon(status) — template referenced it but the
  function was missing (render crash on task_update step)
- message_queued reachability documented: WS read loop is sequential, the
  queue path is only reachable from a second socket/headless recall

webclient: background task chip, id-first tool matching, queued badge ...

- toolIndex (tool_call_id → card): exact matching for parallel batches and
  late events after stream_end; legacy name+pending fallback kept
- bare tool_call synthesizes a card so results are never lost
- task_update: backgroundTasks chip above composer + steps appended to the
  spawning tool card (parent_tool_call_id binding)
- message_queued badge, terminal_opened dispatch
- new BackgroundTasksChip component, task_update step rendering in ToolCard

webclient: lightbox dialog shrink-wraps the photo, img without crop

PWA: installable webclient, offline shell, web push ...

Installability:
- public/manifest.webmanifest (standalone, theme #16161E) + PNG icons
  generated from logo.svg (regular + maskable, served via /images mount)
- index.html: manifest link, theme-color, apple-touch-icon

Offline shell:
- hand-rolled sw.js (no workbox): navigation = network-first (3s race)
  with cached-shell fallback + background refresh (a stale cached shell
  would 404 on entry chunks after a deploy); /assets/* cache-first
  (content-hashed); /images/* cache-first capped; /api,/ws,/auth,/push,
  /content pass-through
- vite closeBundle plugin stamps __NAVI_BUILD_VERSION__ (digest of
  index.html + asset names) into dist/sw.js; sw.js served no-store so
  every deploy reactivates the SW and activation evicts old caches
- SW registration in main.js, PROD only (dev HMR untouched)
- OfflineBanner (useOnline composable) over the app shell

Web push (VAPID, pywebpush):
- navi/push/ package: push_subscriptions table (postgres, boot-time DDL),
  PushSubscriptionStore, PushService (async fan-out, to_thread sends,
  404/410 prunes dead endpoints, per-session cooldown)
- routes: GET /push/vapid-key, POST/DELETE /push/subscribe (auth-gated)
- trigger in orchestrator run_agent + run_recall: push on StreamEnd when
  no WebSocket client watches the session; fire-and-forget, never
  disturbs the run; anonymous fallback only when auth is off
- client: usePush composable + Notifications settings panel (enable/
  disable via PushManager.subscribe with the server VAPID key)
- notification click focuses the app at /#<session_id> (hash routing
  opens the right chat); payload body is a markdown-stripped <=140-char
  preview

NAVIVAPID keys empty = push fully disabled (graceful, like other optional
integrations). dist/ artifacts committed per repo convention.

Tests: pytest push store/service/routes/trigger (+23), vitest usePush
(83 webclient tests green). Full suite 1143 passed.

Merge branch 'master' into feature/navi-code ...

#	navi/main.py

renderers: colour diff line numbers + read line numbers, keep content neutral ...

Standard for diff and read output: the line number (and the +/- marker for
diffs) is the coloured anchor; the content itself reads plainly.

diff: "{num} {marker}  {content}" with num+marker in the marker colour
(green/red), content neutral. Fixed the number-column regex to "^( +)(\d+)|"
so files with more than 9 lines (width > 1) still match — the old
single-space pattern silently fell back to whole-line colouring.
read: "{num}: {content}" with the number in the accent colour, content
neutral (was dim number).

Applied to both clients: the TUI diff/filesystem renderers and the webclient
ToolCard (renderDiff / renderRead). The model-facing text from the server is
unchanged — this is display-only.

feat: integrate navi_ui MCP server (card_grid + form) into master ...

Port the internal navi_ui MCP server from the vmkdemo branch (it never
landed on master). The server exposes render_component, which returns a
structured JSON envelope; navi/mcp/tools.py extracts metadata.ui_component
onto the role="tool" message, and the webclient renders the component
(card_grid, form) inline inside the assistant turn.

Backend
- navi/mcp/ui_server/: FastMCP server + component registry with card_grid
  and form components (pydantic-validated payloads, LLM-friendly schema docs)
- mcp_servers.d/navi_ui.json: streamable_http config, group "ui"
- config.py: navi_ui_mcp_enabled/host/port flags
- main.py: start UI server in lifespan (task + wait-for-ready + cancel)
- mcp/tools.py: navi_ui envelope parsing; "Error:" results surface as
  failed tool calls so the UI card is not green
- orchestrator.py + agent.py: run_stream(hidden=) for form submissions
  (single is_display=False, is_context=True user message)
- api/websocket.py: extract _start_agent_run helper, add form_submit
  branch that delivers submitted form values as a hidden user message
- profiles/secretary: enable navi_ui "ui" group (agent + subagent)
- .env.example: NAVI_UI_MCP_* flags
- tests/unit/mcp/test_ui_server.py

Webclient
- components/ui/{registry.js,CardGrid.vue,Form.vue}: auto-discovered
  renderers (snake_case <-> PascalCase aliasing)
- components/messages/UiComponentCard.vue: wrapper rendered in
  AssistantMessage when entry.kind === 'ui_component'
- stores/chat.js: extract ui_component from tool_call metadata in both
  live stream and history-replay paths
- composables/useWebSocket.js: note that ui_component rides tool_call
- tests/unit/components/ui/* (17 tests)
- dist rebuilt

Excluded from the vmkdemo port: the stale single-file navi/mcp/ui_server.py
duplicate, the realtor profile, and the vmk_data server (unrelated real
estate work that was interleaved with navi_ui on vmkdemo).

Fix terminal detail UX: description wrapping, status contrast, close button ...

- Remove `white-space: nowrap` from `.terminal-detail-meta` and
  `.terminal-item .artifact-meta` — long descriptions now wrap instead
  of being clipped with ellipsis.
- Add `-webkit-line-clamp: 2` to list-item meta so description is
  limited to 2 lines with graceful overflow.
- Fix status colour in detail rows: `.terminal-detail-value.status-busy`
  etc. added after `.terminal-detail-value` so their colours override
  the default #C0CAF5 (was causing light-on-light text).
- Add close button (X) inside `.terminal-detail-header` to dismiss
  the detail pane without leaving the tab.
- Make `selectTerminal` toggle: second click on the same item deselects.
- Build webclient and run tests — all pass.

Fix link deduplication in ArtifactsPanel — three root causes ...

1. normalizeUrlForDedup returned only pathname, so https://a.com/foo
   and https://b.com/foo shared key /foo. Now uses host+pathname
   (with www stripped).
2. Trailing punctuation was stripped for display but not before dedup,
   so https://example.com/path. and https://example.com/path got
   different keys /path. vs /path. Now stripTrailingPunctuation() runs
   before normalizeUrlForDedup().
3. Fragile before==='(' skip logic for markdown hrefs replaced with
   precise protectedRanges tracking — bare URLs whose match falls inside
   a recorded markdown href range are skipped regardless of spacing.
