docs(settings-panel): seal the prototype arc and open the build

Prototypes P12-P37 land, along with the night-watch and levels-compare pages plus the shared-engine updates and the kit-candidate file. The spec flips from DRAFT through READY to DOING with rewritten implementation phases and seven recorded build findings. The build tasks are filed in todo.org, and phase 1 is closed against the dotfiles commits.

+ * every state change including the initial paint; no page globals touched)

+ *     speedbump drag physics.
+ *   - DUPRE.drumRoller   (UPGRADE) — backward-compatible redefinition:
+ *     1..N channels (stock hardcodes exactly two), configurable min/max
+ *     range and stage height. Defaults reproduce the stock instrument.
+ *   - DUPRE.guardedToggle (UPGRADE) — rotateX throw (no planar spin).
+ *   - DUPRE.batToggle     (UPGRADE) — same throw fix.
+ *   - DUPRE.slideRule     (UPGRADE) — width option; the printed scale
+ *     spreads its stops proportionally. Default keeps stock 180px.
+ *   - DUPRE.slideSelector (NEW) — stretchable n-position slide switch
+ *     with a status lamp per position (pillSlide's full-size descendant).
+ *   - DUPRE.programChart  (NEW) — faceplate program matrix / punch card.
+ *   - DUPRE.thumbSlideH   (NEW) — horizontal thumb-slide attenuator;
+ *     continuous 0-100 or detented positions (thumbSlide turned on its
+ *     side, one channel, stretchable).
+ *   - DUPRE.pinMatrix     (UPGRADE) — configurable geometry, per-column
+ *     pin colors, clickable button column-heads, group dividers, set().
+ *     Defaults reproduce the stock 5×6 synth patch exactly.
+ *   - DUPRE.programMatrix (NEW) — the programmable matrix: programs as
+ *     column heads, settings as rows, white pins program, the ACTIVE
+ *     column's pins run green because the recalled program IS the live
+ *     state. No separate live column needed.
+ *   - DUPRE.tripRail      (NEW) — idle tripper rail: a time-switch tripper
+ *     scale for "when idle reaches here, throw this" — draggable stage
+ *     tabs on a sqrt-spaced minutes rail, with a parking siding to
+ *     disable a stage and a bypass state (caffeine dims the policy).
+ *   - DUPRE.tripDial      (NEW) — the round form Craig actually imagined:
+ *     the Intermatic segment-timer dial with colored tripper tabs on the
+ *     rim, an OFF notch at the bottom, and a side legend. Same policy
+ *     semantics as the rail.

+  /* NEW — programmable matrix. The pin routing matrix specialized into a

+     WHITE jewel pin means the program includes that setting. Pressing a
+     head key activates the program and the active column renders its
+     verdicts — active-is-live: a seated pin becomes a green jewel, an
+     empty socket lights a smaller red one (the program holds it off).
+     Editing the active column edits the present; a white column, a
+     future.
+
+     Head keys are the kit console-key primitive (.dupre-key), lighting
+     GREEN when their program is active. Programs may be strings or
+     { id, label, glyph, slim } — a glyph renders large on the key in
+     place of the label (label still names the program in callbacks);
+     blank labels make unassigned slots; ids keep pin keys unique. Rows are strings (pin rows) or { label, values }
+     — a LETTER ROW: every program cell is a tape-counter wheel (cream
+     paper, bezeled window, printed glyph from `values`); clicking a wheel
+     cycles that program's value; the active column's wheel IS the live
+     value and carries no highlight (paper doesn't glow).

-- [2026-07-19 Sun] DRAFT — folded Craig's control-set decisions (home->archsetup handoff): added night-light, DND, lock/suspend, power profile, and scenes to the controls table; recorded volume and theme as out-of-scope with reasons; pulled the format pickers into a separate display-format sibling spec (stub filed). The "few other things" scoping decision and the scenes decision are now closed. One decision stays open — the wallpaper manager's shape (row-that-opens-a-sub-view vs its own sub-spec), to resolve at spec-review. UI prototyping (ui-prototyping rule: research -> 5 directions -> iterate) is not done yet and is the gate before READY.
+- [2026-07-22 Wed] DOING — spec-response: the four rewritten implementation phases decomposed into build tasks in todo.org under a :SPEC_ID:-stamped parent, with the test surface and the final flip-to-IMPLEMENTED task emitted. The build proceeds in dotfiles settings/ per the location decision; archsetup drives.
+- [2026-07-22 Wed] READY — spec-review passed (rubric: Ready with caveats; see Review findings — two findings fixed in-run, two non-blocking build-time picks recorded). The prototyping gate closed at prototype 37, sealed by Craig's "Build it. Anything more would be bit fiddling." The FOCUS headphones glyph stands confirmed by the same words. Normative reference: prototype 37.
+- [2026-07-22 Wed] DRAFT — UI PROTOTYPING COMPLETE. Thirty-five prototypes ended at [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-35.html][Prototype 35, the final candidate]] (linked as the normative reference under Design sketch), sealed by Craig's "I think that's it" after his annotation batch applied clean. The design evolved far past the original controls table — programmable-presets matrix, instrument bench, wallpaper channels — with every turn recorded under Prototype iterations. The gate before READY is satisfied: research cited, ~5 directions grew to 35 with the winner iterated to final, every UI decision made against working prototypes. Next: spec-review (reconcile the Design sketch's aging architecture prose against what the prototypes actually settled), then spec-response into build phases.
+- [2026-07-21 Tue] DRAFT — casting sitting complete: Craig cast every control role live against working candidates (see "Casting" under Prototype iterations). Scenes = tuner dial + presets; brightness = new detent fader with speedbump physics; keyboard = single-drum roller; power = chicken-head; toggles = rocker bank; airplane = guarded lever (throw fixed); caffeine = wind-up timer dial; chrome = warm-gold receiver plate. Three kit-candidate components accrued in dupre-kit-additions.js with a merge task filed. Next: compose prototype 12 and iterate to final.
+- [2026-07-21 Tue] DRAFT — scope change (Craig): lock/suspend withdrawn from the panel (they live on the wlogout screen, Super+Shift+Q); a new open decision "Idle pipeline" proposes staged idle timeouts (dim/lock/screen-off/power action) and caffeine as a timed inhibit, replacing the bare on/off. DND semantics finding recorded in the controls table (pause dams and floods; dead-drop needs an explicit queue clear).
+- [2026-07-21 Tue] DRAFT — three Dupre Kit directions (9 engine room, 10 spacecraft DSKY, 11 mixing desk) composed from the real widgets.js builders after Craig pointed the phase at the panel-widget-gallery catalogue; his two favorite level controls (drum roller, thumb-slide attenuator) each carry the levels in one direction for a working comparison. Eleven directions total; pick still pending.
+- [2026-07-21 Tue] DRAFT — three more direction prototypes (6 hi-fi receiver, 7 chronograph, 8 gauge cluster) built to Craig's aesthetic brief: retro hi-fi stereo / chronograph / automobile dashboard. Craig loved the scenes-as-station-presets idea, so the tuner dial is direction 6's hero. Also retired the status lamps across all directions (the glowing dot pulled the eye) and fixed a slider-fill CSS hack that bled a huge gold disc over directions 1/2/3/5. Direction pick still pending.
+- [2026-07-21 Tue] DRAFT — UI-prototyping phase: recorded the quick-settings prior-art survey (see Prior art under Design sketch) and brought the five 2026-07-19 direction prototypes up to the current controls table (weather-geo toggle added to the shared engine and every direction; caffeine restored to directions 2 and 5, which had dropped it). All five verified rendering error-free headless. Awaiting Craig's direction pick before the iterate-to-final pass.
+- [2026-07-21 Tue] DRAFT — added a weather-geolocation toggle to the controls table (use_geo in the weather config: whereami WiFi fix vs pinned home coords). Both machines run use_geo=true for testing as of today; ratio may flip back by hand until the panel ships the switch.
+- [2026-07-19 Sun] DRAFT — folded Craig's control-set decisions (home->archsetup handoff): added night-light, DND, lock/suspend, power profile, and scenes to the controls table; recorded volume and theme as out-of-scope with reasons; pulled the format pickers into a separate display-format sibling spec (stub filed). The "few other things" scoping decision and the scenes decision are now closed. The wallpaper-shape decision closed the same day (row-that-opens-a-sub-view — see Decisions), leaving no open decisions. UI prototyping (ui-prototyping rule: research -> 5 directions -> iterate) is not done yet and is the gate before READY.
 - [2026-07-04 Sat] DRAFT — all four decisions resolved by Craig (dim + airplane collapse into the panel, touchpad + caffeine stay on the bar; Super+Shift+G keybind; code in dotfiles settings/ beside net/; 5% brightness floor). The four collapse/keybind/location/floor decisions are closed; one open scoping question remains ("few other things" — see Decisions) before a spec-review can flip it READY.

+[[file:../prototypes/desktop-settings-shared.css][desktop-settings-shared.css]]) so the directions are genuinely comparable:
+same state model, same verify-everything simulation (apply, mock readback,
+green verify flash + toast), same wallpaper sub-view.
+
+- [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-1.html][Direction 1 — tile grid]]: the Android/GNOME quick-settings idiom; scenes
+  strip, 2-column toggle tiles, sliders and power below.
+- [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-2.html][Direction 2 — sectioned rack]]: full-width console keys under engraved
+  section labels; closest to the net/bt panel idiom.
+- [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-3.html][Direction 3 — scenes-first]]: scenes as the hero controls, everything else
+  beneath.
+- [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-4.html][Direction 4 — instrument cluster]]: ring gauges for the levels, a rotary
+  power-profile selector, lamp rows; leans hardest into the faceplate
+  aesthetic.
+- [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-5.html][Direction 5 — compact expandable rows]]: one slim row per control,
+  progressive disclosure for power/scenes/wallpaper.
+
+2026-07-21: all five updated to the current controls table (weather-geo
+added; caffeine restored to directions 2 and 5) and verified rendering
+error-free.
+
+Three more directions added 2026-07-21 to Craig's aesthetic brief — retro
+hi-fi stereo, chronograph, automobile dashboard — treating the panel as a
+physical object rather than a software surface. Same shared engine, same
+control roster:
+
+- [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-6.html][Direction 6 — hi-fi receiver]]: scenes as station presets on a backlit
+  tuner dial (sliding needle) + preset keys; rotary knobs with VU meters
+  for the levels; a backlit switch bank; an input-selector knob for power.
+- [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-7.html][Direction 7 — chronograph]]: the panel is a watch. Brightness is the main
+  dial (drag the bezel; gold hand + digital window), chrono subdials carry
+  keyboard/power/scene, crowns are the momentary actions, bracelet links
+  are the toggles.
+- [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-8.html][Direction 8 — gauge cluster]]: a dashboard binnacle with twin needle
+  gauges (drag to set), a rocker-switch bank with backlit legends,
+  push-button drive modes for scenes, an ignition rotary for power, dash
+  pull-knobs for actions.
+
+Three further directions added 2026-07-21, composed from the real Dupre Kit
+builders (widgets.js) rather than hand-rolled lookalikes — so each doubles
+as a component-selection exercise for the eventual GTK port. Craig's two
+favorite level controls get the same job in two different directions so
+they can be compared in working form: the drum roller in direction 9, the
+thumb-slide attenuator in direction 10.
+
+- [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-9.html][Direction 9 — engine room]]: drum-roller levels, split-flap scene board
+  read from a rotary selector, breaker-panel toggles, guarded airplane
+  lever, engine-order telegraph for power, arm-to-fire actions.
+- [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-10.html][Direction 10 — spacecraft DSKY]]: thumb-slide levels, slide-switch bank
+  under a live caution board, scenes commanded by DSKY verb entry
+  (V01-V04, V00 off), keyed mode switch for power.
+- [[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-11.html][Direction 11 — mixing desk]]: slot faders in dB with a VU bridge,
+  radio-preset scene bank, chip toggles with DND on a stomp pedal, rotary
+  power selector.
+
+Kit-integration notes for the port, learned building these: the kit's
+CSS-built selector spans (.dupre-rotsel, .dupre-keylock) size themselves
+with width/height on inline display, so consumers outside the gallery need
+display:inline-block on them; breakerPanel has no set() and hardcodes its
+initial states, so reflecting external state means synthesizing clicks on
+its hit rects (a set() upstream would fix it); and the shared mock engine
+now carries weathergeo in its state object (it was metadata-only, and
+kit toggles default-on when opts.on is undefined).
+
+*** Casting (2026-07-21) — instrument per role, picked live
+
+Rather than one direction wholesale, Craig cast each control role from the
+bench in a live sitting (candidates driven in working form; the scenes and
+levels casting pages below were built for the head-to-heads):
+
+- Scenes (panel hero, top): kit slideRule tuner dial — stops
+  OFF/FOCUS/PRES/BATT/NIGHT, lit stop label, sliding needle — over
+  PRESET 1-4 keys. Beat rotary + split-flap head-to-head
+  ([[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-scenes-compare.html][scenes casting page]]).
+- Screen brightness: detentFader (NEW kit-candidate component) — full-width
+  horizontal fader, detents at 25/50/75 with speedbump physics (magnet +
+  escape hysteresis; the thumb parks until the pointer pushes through).
+  Craig's revision of the plain faderH pick.
+- Keyboard backlight: drumRoller, single drum 0-10 (kit builder generalized
+  to 1..N channels + min/max — stock was hardcoded to two drums).
+  ([[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-levels-compare.html][levels casting page]] carries both level controls.)
+- Power profile: chicken-head knob, three detents.
+- Toggle bank: kit rocker bank — lit engraved legends carry state (no lamp
+  dots; the status-lamp retirement holds).
+- Airplane: guardedToggle, laptop-only, patched to a rotateX throw (the
+  stock 180° planar spin swept the lever sideways mid-transition).
+- Caffeine / idle inhibit: kit timerDial as a wind-up timed inhibit (real
+  minutes at build; demo clock is min/sec).
+- Chrome: direction 6's receiver faceplate in warm Dupre gold — family-kin
+  with net/bt/audio. (Marantz-blue slideRule skin seen and passed on.)
+
+The three kit-candidate components (detentFader NEW, drumRoller and
+guardedToggle UPGRADEs) live in
+[[file:../prototypes/dupre-kit-additions.js][dupre-kit-additions.js]] pending the
+kit merge (tracked in todo.org).
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-12.html][Prototype 12 — the casting composite]] (2026-07-21, overnight on Craig's
+go): every cast instrument composed on the warm-gold receiver chassis with
+the current roster — tuner + presets, detent fader, single drum,
+chicken-head, wind-up caffeine timer, rocker bank, guarded airplane,
+wallpaper sub-view; lock/suspend absent per the wlogout amendment. All
+interactions verified headless (scene tune + preset punch, fader detents,
+drum drag, chicken step, timer wind → caffeine, rockers, lever, sub-view
+round-trip). Composing it surfaced and fixed a latent shared-engine bug:
+wallpaperSubview returned a div carrying the ds-subview class
+(display:none outside .open), so the wallpaper sub-view had been opening
+empty in every direction prototype. Iteration to final happens against
+this file.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-13.html][Prototype 13 — P12 + Craig's first iteration]] (2026-07-22): presets moved
+above the dial full-width (Preset 2 contains "Presentation" whole); screen
+brightness RECAST from the detent fader to the drum — screen + keyboard now
+run as the classic two-drum pair left of an enlarged caffeine timer, which
+gains a HOLD/TIMED rocker so caffeine can be held always-on; compact
+chicken-head in the upper-right quadrant; switch wall of six with the
+guarded airplane lever in the mix; weather-geo DROPPED from the panel
+entirely (controls-table row removed — the config stays hand-edited);
+wallpaper row unchanged. The detentFader remains a kit-merge candidate on
+its own merits. Verified: HOLD drives caffeine, drum drag drives
+brightness, preset containment and tuner stop visibility checked
+programmatically. Second pass same night: the drums grew to run flush with
+the timer column (drum top level with the dial top, bottom with the HOLD
+rocker — verified 0px deltas); drumRoller gained a height option for it (a
+taller stage opens a longer paper window showing more of the scale), which
+joins the kit-merge candidate's contract. Third pass: the caffeine timer
+was unwindable live — crossing zero mid-drag toggled caffeine, the
+re-render destroyed the dial under the pointer, and every rebuilt
+timerDial leaked its countdown interval as a ghost writing stale minutes.
+Fix: self-clocked instruments persist across re-renders (reparent, never
+rebuild) and state sync is debounced past the drag. This is a
+build-architecture rule for the GTK port too: instruments that own a
+clock own their widget lifetime.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-14.html][Prototype 14 — timer refinements]] (2026-07-22): the HOLD/TIMED rocker is
+replaced by a bat toggle seated at the timer's upper-right where the
+winding-direction arrow was (arrow removed) — bat up TIMED, down HOLD
+(always-on caffeine); the timer dial is vertically centered against the
+drum column instead of top-flush. batToggle joins the kit-merge additions
+with the same rotateX throw fix as guardedToggle (stock had the identical
+180° planar spin). Verified: bat drives hold-caffeine both ways, center
+delta 0, arrow absent.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-15.html][Prototype 15 — power slide]] (2026-07-22): the chicken-head is replaced by
+a three-position slide switch under the tuner — a status lamp per
+position, labeled PERFORMANCE / BALANCE / POWER SAVE, stretching to
+exactly the tuner's length; the tuner itself is restored to full plate
+width. Two more kit-candidates for it: slideSelector (NEW — stretchable
+n-position slide with per-position lamps, pillSlide's full-size
+descendant) and a slideRule width option (the printed scale spreads its
+stops proportionally; custom widths take a wider edge margin so end-stop
+labels stay inside). Verified: slide clicks and drags land positions and
+drive the profile, exactly one lamp lit, scenes move the slide (Focus
+sets BALANCE), tuner tunes at full width with end labels contained.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-16.html][Prototype 16 — rebalanced]] (2026-07-22): built from a design critique
+Craig requested ("it still feels off") whose diagnosis was inverted
+salience — the least-used control (the caffeine timer, largest object,
+only big red) shouted loudest while the heroes (scenes, brightness)
+whispered. Changes, same instruments throughout: three uniform plates on
+one grid (Scenes·Power / Levels·Caffeine / Switches); the drum pair
+replaced by the thumb-slide attenuator pair at Craig's call (the cream
+paper drums were the panel's bright blob and out of family with the
+slide/fader chrome); the timer de-throned — steel stop knob, amber
+index/OFF, single engraving, bat docked on its stage; rockers carry their
+function name on the lit half with a new `quiet` option killing the
+warning-red off state (a fourth kit-candidate UPGRADE — red-off stays
+stock default for switches where off is the notable state); the airplane
+lever sits on the rocker baseline with trimmed AIR/SAFE labels. Red now
+appears exactly twice, both semantically: the tuner needle (vintage
+heritage) and the airplane danger disc. Salience rule recorded for the
+GTK build: visual loudness follows frequency × importance — scenes and
+brightness loudest, switches calm, caffeine polite.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-17.html][Prototype 17 — switches under their presets]] (2026-07-22): plate order
+rearranged for causality — the presets program the switches, so the wall
+now sits directly beneath the scenes plate ("strange to have the preset
+buttons on top controlling switches on the bottom" — Craig), with the
+power slide just under the wall in a shared Switches · Power plate;
+Levels · Caffeine follows. The power slide's knob goes dark (a knob
+option — chrome default / machined-dark — added to the slideSelector
+kit candidate). Verified: plate order wall → slide → levels, dark knob
+class active, and the adjacency in action — the Night preset lights the
+rockers directly beneath it and slides power to POWER SAVE.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-18.html][Prototype 18 — the program chart]] (2026-07-22): Craig asked what analog
+component the missing "one selector recalls a configuration" pattern maps
+to. Answer: two — the behavioral half is the organ combination action /
+flying-fader scene recall (controls physically move on recall, which the
+panel already does), and the legible half is the washing-machine faceplate
+program chart, which was the missing piece. New kit-candidate
+DUPRE.programChart: one row per program, one column per contact — filled
+dot closes it, ring opens it, dash leaves it alone, letters carry enums —
+active row lit, display-only, derived straight from the scene definitions
+(which makes visible that scenes never touch TPAD/MOUSE). Also this pass:
+airplane removed from the panel (network panel owns it — table row and
+wall slot dropped); the dial's OFF stop relabeled CUSTOM (no scene = a
+hand-set configuration, not "off"); a real-proportion pass — thumb slides
+up toward hand size, timer down toward kitchen-timer size. Verified:
+chart rows follow scene changes, CUSTOM releases the scene while the
+switches hold state, airplane absent.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-19.html][Prototype 19 — the chart becomes a punch card]] (2026-07-22): the program
+chart turns editable and white — its lights indicate FUTURE state (what
+the preset will set on recall), so they sit deliberately outside the
+amber live family; clicking a cell reprograms the preset (dots cycle
+closes → opens → untouched, the power letter cycles P/B/S/–), with edits
+written back to the scene definitions and honored on the next recall
+(verified: adding DND to Battery's program, then recalling Battery,
+engaged DND for real). Switches engage GREEN (a rocker accent option —
+run/engaged semantics) and shrink to true rocker size; slides grow.
+Three-register color semantics recorded for the build: amber = scene
+family and live selection, green = engaged switches, white = programmed
+future state. Craig's observation logged with it: the panel is converging
+on a master-preset architecture — the presets program everything below
+except the wound timer minutes; the chart is that programming surface.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-20.html][Prototype 20 — the switch matrix]] (2026-07-22): the master-preset
+architecture made literal. The panel's axis IS the switches: preset row,
+punch chart, and switch wall fuse into one matrix — each row a live
+switch (rocker / caffeine lamp / a mini three-detent power slide), the
+four preset buttons running across the top as column heads (names only,
+no PRESET N), white punch lights under each program column, every cell
+editable. The slide-rule tuner is retired (preset buttons + CUSTOM-by-
+touching carry scene selection); TPAD and MOUSE — which no scene touches
+— drop to their own Pointing strip; SCREEN, KBD, and power go horizontal
+via a new kit-candidate, thumbSlideH (the thumb slide turned on its side:
+continuous 0-100 or detented positions, stretchable). Build note: the
+matrix itself is page-level composition for now — if it survives
+iteration it should become a kit switchMatrix component; and component-
+scoped CSS bit again (the chart's dot classes are scoped to .dupre-pchart,
+so the matrix carries its own copy). Verified: preset buttons recall and
+light the rockers, punch edits write back and hold, horizontal slides
+drive both levels, the matrix power slide sets the profile, tuner absent.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-21.html][Prototype 21 — the pin routing matrix]] (2026-07-22): P20's accidental
+switch-relocation told Craig what the interface actually is — a pin
+routing matrix (EMS-Synthi patch idiom, already in the kit). The kit
+pinMatrix got the upgrade treatment (kit-candidate #9: configurable
+geometry, per-column pin colors, clickable button column-heads with an
+active state, row-group dividers, set(); stock 5×6 defaults preserved)
+and became the whole interface: switch names label the rows (the physical
+rockers are gone — "remove all the switches, which now become labels"),
+program buttons head the columns, a green live NOW column carries current
+state (click to toggle; the live power pin can't be pulled, only moved),
+white pins program the four scene columns, and the power rows are a radio
+group per column. Program semantics simplified to complete definitions:
+recall makes the column's pin pattern the truth (pin on, absent off).
+CAFF is an ordinary switch row; the caffeine timer job is retired and the
+dial is repurposed as a SLEEP TIMER (wind minutes until suspend — the
+receiver classic; pairs with CAFF as the two directions of the idle
+fight), bat toggle retired with it. The drums return for SCREEN/KBD at
+Craig's call ("I love the drum"). Verified end to end: NOW pins toggle
+live state, program pins write back, power radio enforces one pin per
+column, column-head recall applies the full pattern (including a
+just-seated CAFF pin), sleep timer winds/runs down/fires the mock
+suspend, button heads contained after a geometry margin fix.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-22.html][Prototype 22 — the programmable matrix]] (2026-07-22): Craig named the
+component the design was building toward, and it exists now —
+DUPRE.programMatrix (kit-candidate #10): programs as caps column-head key
+plates (FOCUS · PRESENT · BATTERY · NIGHT — "Presentation" shortened),
+settings as spelled-out engraved rows (AUTO-DIM, NIGHT LIGHT, DO NOT
+DISTURB, CAFFEINE; engraved-and-infilled relief after the pure kit
+engrave idiom proved illegible at 6px), radio row groups, and the core
+semantic: NO live column — pressing a head activates the program and its
+column's pins turn white → green, because active-is-live: the recalled
+pattern IS the machine's state. Editing the green column edits the
+present (live state and stored program move together, and the column
+STAYS active); editing a white column edits a future. Build finding for
+the GTK port: the mock engine cleared the active scene on any member
+write, which silently dropped active-is-live — the real PanelModel must
+let program-membership writes survive without deactivating the program.
+Verified: activation floods the column green and applies the pattern,
+active-column DND pull changed live + program while staying in NIGHT,
+radio PERF move followed suit, inactive-column CAFFEINE seat edited the
+program without touching live state.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-23.html][Prototype 23 — the pushwheel CPU row]] (2026-07-22): CPU power collapses
+from three radio rows to ONE letter row. Craig asked for the analog
+referent — triangle up/down steppers beside a lettered tape-counter
+window — which is the industrial push-button thumbwheel (BCD pushwheel)
+switch; no kit component existed (chromeMinMax checked: it's a dome
+gauge), so programMatrix grew letter rows: program cells carry one of
+the row's values (P/B/S here, click cycles; ↑/~/↓ noted as an alternate
+glyph set), and stepper: true appends the pushwheel at the row's right —
+window showing the LIVE letter, triangles stepping it (up toward P,
+clamped). Active-is-live holds: stepping while a program is active
+writes the program's letter too and stays active. Row labels now
+right-align to the column buttons' left edge (Craig). Verified: stepper
+walks B→S and back up to P, inactive letter cycles edit programs only,
+NIGHT activation floods letters green, active stepping moves live +
+program together; a margin fix cleared the fourth column's letter from
+the pushwheel window.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-24.html][Prototype 24 — tape wheel + jewel verdicts]] (2026-07-22): the triangle
+steppers retire after one prototype — the tape-counter wheel IS the
+button now (click cycles the live CPU letter, wrapping), rendered as a
+proper wheel cell: cream paper, cylinder shading, 13px printed letter,
+after the kit tapeCounter's look. And the active column gains verdict
+lamps per Craig's read that they're jewel pilot lamps "just not so large
+and flashy": every switch row in the live column shows a definite state —
+a domed green jewel for seated, a smaller red jewel for a socket the
+program holds off; inactive seated pins wear a frost-white jewel dome.
+Verified: wheel cycles B→S→P→B, NIGHT activation shows three green
+verdicts + one red (CAFFEINE held off) + the green S letter, program
+edits and active-is-live unchanged.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-25.html][Prototype 25 — wheels in every column]] (2026-07-22): Craig caught the
+side wheel as another NOW-column vestige — under active-is-live the
+active column's value IS the live value, so the tape wheel belongs in
+every program column, not off to the side. Each CPU POWER cell is now
+its own bezeled tape wheel (click cycles that program's letter); the
+active column's wheel wears a green bezel and is the machine's live CPU
+state. Jewel pilot lamps sized up (5.6 / 4.8) with taller rows (dy 21)
+to match. Verified: inactive wheels edit programs only, the active wheel
+cycles live + program together and stays active, activation applies the
+program's letter.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-26.html][Prototype 26 — physical keys, arrow wheels]] (2026-07-22): the program
+heads become real keys — raised bevel over a static shadow at rest,
+visibly DEPRESSED onto it when active, with green lighting only the
+engraved legend (a backlit key, not a bordered chip); the active wheel's
+green bezel is dropped (paper doesn't glow — the depressed key and the
+jewel verdicts carry live indication); row labels engraved larger and
+brighter-infilled for faceplate presence; the CPU wheels print ↑ – ↓
+(performance / balanced / saver) instead of letters; and the whole panel
+widens to 434px (matrix 382) to give it all room. Verified: NIGHT's key
+depresses with a green legend while the others sit proud, wheels carry
+the arrow glyphs, the active wheel still cycles live + program together
+without dropping the program.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-27.html][Prototype 27 — console keys, six slots, one bench]] (2026-07-22): the
+head keys become the kit's own console-key primitive (.dupre-key,
+lighting full green when active — the component now composes DOM keys
+over the SVG pin field); TWO blank program slots grow the matrix
+rightward (programs are {id, label} so blank labels keep unique pin
+keys; the slots recall as honest all-off programs — verified: Slot5
+lights four red verdicts and a dash); the panel window widens to 560.
+The lower level becomes one bench: drums · machined groove · TPAD over
+MOUSE · groove · sleep dial, and the separate Pointing plate dissolves.
+Maintenance note: a string-surgery patch had earlier fused pinMatrix and
+programMatrix (shared anchor text matched the wrong builder — the
+assignment silently vanished); both were rebuilt clean, which the kit
+merge should treat as the canonical text. Keys blur after click so only
+meaningful light remains. Next design conversation, per Craig: how the
+sleep dial associates with the action it fires at zero.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-28.html][Prototype 28 — the idle tripper rail]] (2026-07-22): the dial-association
+conversation resolved the dial out of existence. Craig's question — "in X
+minutes from now, or when idle for X minutes?" — was answered B, with the
+principle stated: THIS PANEL PROGRAMS FUTURES, not immediate actions. A
+wound countdown lies for intent B (an idle threshold re-arms on input),
+so the sleep dial retired and the idle pipeline surfaced as its honest
+analog: the tripper rail (kit-candidate #12, DUPRE.tripRail — the
+mechanical time-switch tripper translated from clock time to idle time).
+A sqrt-spaced idle-minutes scale with clamp tabs — DIM 5 · LOCK 7 ·
+WATCH 8 · SCREEN OFF 10 · SUSPEND 30 — dragged to retune (stages clamp
+between neighbors, keeping pipeline order), a dashed OFF siding parks a
+stage disabled, flags re-alternate among active tabs so labels never
+collide, and engaged CAFFEINE renders the whole rail dimmed with a
+BYPASSED · CAFFEINE stamp — the pin's meaning made visible. This
+supersedes the idle-pipeline decision's "delays live in hypridle.conf"
+placement: the rail IS the panel-native programming surface for those
+same values (the build writes hypridle.conf and reloads). Verified:
+dragging SUSPEND 30→45 commits, LOCK clamps below its neighbor, WATCH
+parks to off, the bypass dims and stamps.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-29.html][Prototype 29 — the idle tripper dial]] (2026-07-22): the rail was my
+translation; Craig's actual mental image was the ROUND form — the
+Intermatic segment-timer dial with four COLORED tripper tabs clamped on
+the rim (kit-candidate #13, DUPRE.tripDial; the rail stays a candidate in
+its own right). A 300° sqrt-spaced idle scale with a bottom OFF notch:
+drag a tab around the rim to retune its stage, drop it through the notch
+to disable; a side legend maps color → stage → minutes (DIM amber ·
+LOCK slate · SCREEN OFF steel · SUSPEND terracotta). Two design
+resolutions rode in with it: WATCH IS THE LOCK SCREEN — the night watch
+becomes the face the lock stage shows, not a pipeline stage of its own
+(the idle-decision's separate eye-candy stage folds into LOCK; the
+night-watch build gains "runs as/over hyprlock" as its integration
+target); and the dial returns to the bench, restoring drums · groove ·
+pointing · groove · dial. Verified: rim drag commits (SUSPEND 30→45),
+order clamping holds (LOCK stopped at DIM+0.5), the notch parks a stage,
+CAFFEINE dims the face under the BYPASSED stamp.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-30.html][Prototype 30 — family chrome]] (2026-07-22): Craig flagged the panel as
+noticeably off-family from maint/net/bt; diagnosis: the prototypes had
+been wearing the widget gallery's amber (#e2a038) since P9, while the
+family runs THEME gold (#dab53d / #ffd75f) — plus flat brushed plates
+where the family uses raised gradient faceplates. Aligned: theme-gold
+token family, maint-style body glow and panel background, the maint
+header (raised face, cream wide-tracked title), raised-gradient plates
+with inset highlights, and a darker matrix field inset into a lighter
+plate (the requested contrast — empty sockets now read as visible
+punch-card rings). Also this pass: slots labeled 1 · 2 as SLIM keys
+(programMatrix gains weighted column widths; window compacts to 540);
+factory presets programmed (FOCUS 1011↑ · PRESENT 0011– · BATTERY 1000↓
+· NIGHT 1101↓, slots all-off, all programs persist edits); the section
+renamed PROGRAMMABLE PRESETS; the caffeine/CPU divider removed; drums
+and dial enlarged with lighter cream dial numerals. Open question
+parked: where TPAD/MOUSE live (Craig floated right-of-the-presets;
+recommendation recorded in session notes to keep them off the
+programming faceplate).
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-31.html][Prototype 31 — encircled groups]] (2026-07-22): the TPAD/MOUSE question
+resolved — Craig accepted keeping them off the programming faceplate but
+wanted them smaller: the rockers retire and the pair become console keys
+(same primitive as the preset heads, lighting green when engaged),
+horizontal, seated above the dial. The bench reorganizes into three
+ENCIRCLED instrument groups — bordered boxes with their labels set into
+the border break, the classic faceplate group idiom: BRIGHTNESS (the
+drum pair, grown to 204 to match proportion), POINTERS (the two keys),
+IDLE (the tripper dial, size unchanged). Grooves retired with the
+rockers. Verified: keys toggle live state and light green, groups render
+with break labels, no bench overflow. With this pass Craig declared the
+settings panel's cosmetics done; next surface: the wallpaper sub-view.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-32.html][Prototype 32 — the wallpaper channels]] (2026-07-22): built from Craig's
+mode-table reframe (see "Wallpaper sub-view — the mode table" under
+Design sketch): the units of choice are MODES, not framed pictures, so
+the sub-view is a CHANNEL BANK — seven mode cards, each wearing its own
+face per the table: WATCH (mini radar face), SUN PAIR (diagonal slashed
+thumbnail of the selected pair), SINGLE (the chosen thumb), RANDOM (a
+fanned deck — the answer to the table's open representation question),
+VIDEO (play-badged frame), CLOCK (drawn face), WORLD (mini-clock
+matrix). The active channel rings green; the config surface below
+switches per channel — library grid for single, the PAIR PRESS for
+sun pair (fill the day frame, the night frame auto-arms, MINT PAIR
+strikes the slashed chip into a persistent tray of selectable pair
+objects, exactly the mint semantics Craig specified), the interval wheel
+(tape-wheel idiom, 5/10/15/30/60) for random, a video picker, and
+honest no-options plates for the generators. The wallpaper row's state
+text reads the tuned channel. Verified: channel switching, single
+selection, the full mint flow (day pick auto-arms night, minted pair
+joins tray selected), interval cycling. Mechanisms like the carousel
+remain available for the eventual real-image library picker, demoted to
+the one layer where units are uniform.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-33.html][Prototype 33 — sources + pair scrap]] (2026-07-22): two missing
+capabilities land. SOURCES: a directory list at the sub-view's foot (all
+channels draw from it) — folder rows with remove (guarded: the last
+source can't be removed) and an ADD DIRECTORY key (mock candidates; the
+real build opens a directory picker). PAIR SCRAP: hovering a minted chip
+reveals ✕; the first strike arms it red ("strike again to scrap"), the
+second deletes — arm-to-fire friction for a destructive act, consistent
+with the panel's danger idiom; selection index self-heals including the
+empty-tray case. Verified: add/remove sources with the last-source
+guard, scrap flow arms then deletes, empty tray renders honestly.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-34.html][Prototype 34 — annotation batch one]] (2026-07-22): Craig's new iteration
+method in action — he annotated via org-capture into the roam inbox
+(ten archsetup notes), I claimed and applied the batch. Settings side:
+SETTINGS header amber-caps (verified against the net/bt prototype, whose
+header word is gold — the P30 family pass had wrongly copied maint's
+cream); preset keys become GLYPHS (crescent moon for NIGHT, half battery
+F007E for BATTERY, projector screen for PRESENT, and — answering Craig's
+"focus = ? help with this" — the crosshairs reticle F0210, aim-and-
+attend, over eyeglasses which read as "reading"); the narrower keys buy
+FOUR numbered slots; CPU balanced glyph – → =; TOUCHPAD spelled out; the
+drums' redundant LEVELS ×10 title removed (per Craig's screenshot) and
+the drums grown into the space; the toast's idle "waiting…" hidden.
+Wallpaper side (his sun-pair architecture + the extend-everywhere
+directive): every mode gets a DESCRIPTION panel (helpful operating text,
+never "no options"); galleries are side-scrolling strips (7-10 thumbs);
+the section order for sun pair runs modes → minted pairs → pair press →
+pictures → sources; the minted-pair gallery sorts alpha/recency via two
+small keys, shows labels under chips (nothing when unlabeled), and each
+chip carries ~ (edit: reopens day/night/label in the press and leaves
+the gallery, re-mint to return) and − (delete; recreate to recover);
+the press gains its label field; the picture gallery feeds the armed
+frame and notes the extension filtering; PREVIEW sections show watch
+(Craig's real night-watch screenshot, trimmed to
+prototypes/2026-07-22-watch-preview.png), clock, world, single, and
+video; SOURCES appears only for the directory-drawing modes (single,
+pair, random, video) and hides for the generators. All flows verified
+headless including the edit-remint round trip and sort toggles.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-36.html][Prototype 36 — annotation batch two]] (2026-07-22): eight more roam
+captures applied. Settings: all matrix keys uniform (43px — glyph keys
+slimmed to the numbered keys' size, glyphs bumped to 15px for
+recognizability); the bench rearranged — POINTERS above BRIGHTNESS on
+the left, the IDLE dial alone on the right, enlarged to 184 with its
+legend moved BENEATH the dial (a legendPos option on the tripDial
+kit-candidate); drums centered in their frame. Wallpaper: a NEW SOLID
+COLOR channel (eighth card) in the sun-pair format — minted labeled
+colors above, color picker + label + MINT below, no sources; RANDOM
+gains minted SETS — labeled, count-badged chips (first picture + count),
+sortable, with ~/− edit/delete, built in a set press by clicking
+pictures in and out, minimum two, interval wheel retained; sort keys now
+stack vertically LEFT of every sortable gallery; all side-scroll
+galleries wear custom themed scrollbars inside evenly-padded wells;
+SOURCES scrolls vertically past four entries; and the pair tray is
+seeded with a dozen pairs so the scroller's position shows. Verified:
+uniform key row, bench order and dial legend, pair tray overflow, solid
+mint, set press round trip (mint "blues" of three), card count badge.
+P35 remains the linked final for the matrix/bench; the wallpaper
+sub-view's normative reference advances to this file.
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-37.html][Prototype 37 — annotation batch three]] (2026-07-22): nine more captures.
+Channel faces go ICONIC — the sun-pair card is a fixed yellow/navy
+diagonal with a dark sun glyph on the gold and a cream crescent on the
+navy (per Craig's spec), SOLID wears dupre blue, and the world card's
+mini clocks are redrawn as honest clocks (cream faces, hour + minute
+hands at six different times; the world preview matches). Numbered slots
+register as scenes named 1-4 so activation announces "▶ 1" instead of a
+slot codename. The idle dial's center reads the EXACT minutes (halves
+included) live while a tab drags, reverting to a now-visible IDLE (9px
+cream) on release; the legend shows exact values too. The video
+channel's preview shrinks to 55% so sources fit; the sub-view title
+capitalizes to WALLPAPER. FOCUS tries the headphones glyph (F02CB) as
+the deep-work icon — awaiting Craig's confirmation, crosshairs retired.
+All seventeen applied annotations (batches two + three) swept from the
+roam inbox after application; seven foreign items remain for their
+projects.

+
+Surveyed 2026-07-21 for the prototyping phase (ui-prototyping rule: research
+before picking a direction).
+
+- *GNOME Shell 43+ Quick Settings* — replaced the decade-old system menu
+  with a grid of pill-shaped toggle tiles. Each pill is dual-function: click
+  the body to toggle, click a small arrow to expand a submenu that draws
+  over the grid rather than opening a new surface. Sliders span two grid
+  columns; on/off state is carried by the pill's fill colour. Component
+  anatomy: QuickToggle, QuickMenuToggle (toggle + popup submenu),
+  QuickSlider, in a column-based grid.

+  [[https://gjs.guide/extensions/topics/quick-settings.html][gjs.guide Quick Settings anatomy]].
+- *macOS Control Center* — a menu-bar hub of modules. Controls are
+  dual-function here too: clicking a module's icon toggles it, clicking its
+  name or arrow opens a deeper sub-view expanded in place (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
+  Display, Sound). Modules can be dragged out to the menu bar for permanent
+  glanceable placement — the same two-layer bar/panel split this spec
+  commits to (touchpad + caffeine stay on the bar; the rest collapses in).

+  [[https://macmost.com/customizing-and-using-control-center-on-your-mac.html][macmost Control Center walkthrough]].
+- *Windows 11 Quick Settings* — a taskbar flyout: customizable button grid
+  with sliders below it. The trend line is consolidation: 26H2 adds a
+  light/dark toggle to the flyout so the Settings app isn't needed, and the
+  hardware volume/brightness flyouts are being restyled and made
+  repositionable.

+- *KDE Plasma 6* — the counter-example: no single consolidated panel;
+  per-applet popups hang off individual system-tray icons (6.4 raised
+  control contrast and added tray-entry hiding). This is the
+  scattered-toggles status quo the spec exists to fix.
+  Source: [[https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/06/kde-plasma-6-4-review-new-features-linux-desktop][OMG! Ubuntu Plasma 6.4 review]].
+- *iOS / macOS Focus modes* — the prior art for scenes: named modes that
+  flip several settings in one action, surfaced as first-class controls in
+  Control Center. The shared prototype engine's SCENES model mirrors this.
+
+Convergent conventions the directions are judged against: a two-layer model
+(glanceable bar + consolidated panel); dual-function controls (toggle on the
+control itself, expand for depth); compact toggle grid with full-width
+sliders; sub-views drawn inside the panel rather than as new windows
+(matches the wallpaper-sub-view decision); scenes as first-class controls.
+
+** Final prototype (normative reference)
+
+[[file:../prototypes/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-prototype-37.html][Prototype 37 — the sealed final]] (2026-07-22, Craig's "Build it"),
+superseding P35 as the single normative reference after annotation
+batches two and three:
+the consolidated machine every build phase points at. Structure: the
+PROGRAMMABLE PRESETS matrix (glyph program keys + four numbered slots,
+white punch pins with jewel verdicts, arrow/equals CPU tape wheels,
+active-is-live semantics); the instrument bench of three encircled
+groups (BRIGHTNESS drum pair, POINTERS console keys, IDLE tripper dial
+with color-tabbed stages and caffeine bypass); and the WALLPAPER
+channel sub-view (seven mode cards, per-mode descriptions, side-scroll
+galleries, previews, the labeled pair press with mint/edit/delete, and
+per-mode sources). Verified by a 17-point end-to-end suite, all
+passing. The full design history lives under Prototype iterations in
+the Status section; the kit-candidate components accumulated along the
+way live in prototypes/dupre-kit-additions.js pending the kit merge.

+drops tailscale sessions and hourly backups. Hyprlock grace 5 s. The panel
+surfaces only the situational control (the caffeine timer dial); stage
+delays live in hypridle.conf. Original analysis below.
+
+Amended same evening (Craig, 2026-07-21): the eye-candy stage is IN after
+all — as the Dupre Instrument Night Watch, a fullscreen board of the kit's
+own instruments on watch (split-flap + movement + seven-seg carrying real
+time, radar sweeping, scope tracing, drift chart, spectrum, VU programme,

+It runs between lock and screen-off as a hypridle stage (fullscreen
+browser/webview launched on-timeout, killed on-resume); the power cost is
+accepted for the stage's duration since DPMS still follows at its delay.
+Kit note for the merge task: span-built instruments (scope, stripChart,
+vfdMarquee, analogClock, rotsel, keylock) need a blockifying host outside
+the gallery's card grid — the night-watch page carries the one-rule fix.
+Opened 2026-07-21 from Craig's question: "shutdown/reboot/suspend/hibernate
+when idle for X minutes?" Yes — hypridle listeners run arbitrary on-timeout
+commands, so any systemctl action can be a stage. Today's pipeline is only
+dim-to-10% at 5 min → lock at 7 min; there is no screen-off (DPMS) stage and
+no power action, so an idle machine glows at 10% forever.
+
+Proposed idle group for the panel, replacing the bare caffeine on/off:
+- Dim delay + dim level (currently hardcoded 300 s / 10%).
+- Lock delay (currently 420 s).
+- Screen-off (DPMS) stage after N minutes — new.
+- Idle power action after X minutes — one of none / suspend / hibernate /
+  suspend-then-hibernate / shutdown. Ordering guarantee: lock always fires
+  before the power action so the machine wakes locked.
+- Caffeine becomes a timed inhibit (wind-up timer, e.g. the kit timerDial:
+  30/60/120 min or until-off) instead of killing the whole daemon.
+
+Added 2026-07-21 (Craig approved recording these alongside the stages):
+- Hyprlock grace period (currently grace = 0): N seconds after lock where
+  any input wakes without a password — softens an aggressive lock delay.
+- Optional eye-candy stage: an animated "screensaver" (mpvpaper loop,
+  terminal art, shader) launched by a hypridle stage and killed on resume.
+  Sits before the DPMS stage if offered at all; it holds GPU + display
+  awake, so it trades power for style.
+- Lock-face notes for the build: path = screenshot shows a blurred image
+  of the work session (privacy consideration; wallpaper/solid is the
+  alternative), and hyprlock labels can run shell commands on an interval
+  (cmd[update:N]) — the lock face can carry weather/now-playing/battery.
+
+Build notes: Wayland's idle-inhibit protocol already keeps the pipeline at
+bay during media playback (video players and browsers inhibit idle, and
+hypridle honors it), so caffeine's real audience is passive non-media use —
+long reads, watching a build, screen-share without input. systemd
+suspend-then-hibernate is the likely default for velox
+(suspends now, hibernates when the battery drains); shutdown-on-idle is the
+risky option (kills the session and anything unsaved) and wants a long delay
+if offered at all; AC-vs-battery differentiation is possible by making the
+on-timeout a script that checks the power source. Decisions needed from
+Craig: which stages to expose, the default delays, and whether the power
+action appears on both machines or only the laptop.

+All phases live in dotfiles =settings/= (archsetup drives the lifecycle).
+The normative reference for every UI decision is prototype 37; the design
+history is the Prototype iterations subsection.
+
+1. *Backings engine* — pure Python, TDD with fake binaries. Brightness +
+   keyboard backlight (brightnessctl, 5% floor, ×10 drum mapping); toggle
+   backings (hyprctl dim_inactive, touchpad/mouse state scripts, hypridle
+   caffeine inhibit); DND via dunst pause levels implementing the
+   class-split semantic (ordinary notifications drop, alarms survive —
+   punch-through vs held decided here); powerprofilesctl three-way; the
+   hypridle.conf writer + reload for the idle pipeline (four stages, per-
+   stage enable/disable, hyprlock grace); the wallpaper engine — persisted
+   mode store (channel, single, minted pairs/sets/colors with labels,
+   video, interval, sources), setter adapters (images via the chosen
+   setter, solid colors, video via mpvpaper, clock/world/watch as
+   projected surfaces), sunrise/sundown calculation from lat/long, the
+   random-draw timer, and extension filtering for the galleries.
+2. *Presenters* — GTK-free models, unit-tested to 100% like the net
+   PanelModel. The program-matrix model (programs as complete
+   definitions; active-is-live with program-membership writes surviving
+   activation; pin, letter, and radio row kinds; slots 1-4 as first-class
+   programs); the bench model (drum mapping, pointers, idle stages with
+   order clamping, parking, and caffeine bypass); the wallpaper channels
+   model (mint/edit/delete and alpha/recency sort for pairs, sets, and
+   colors; per-mode sources visibility; previews).
+3. *GTK4/Blueprint UI* — port the instruments prototype 37 actually uses
+   to GTK widgets in the Dupre family chrome: console keys, the
+   programmable matrix (glyph + numbered heads, jewel verdicts, tape
+   wheels), drum roller, tripper dial (bottom legend, exact-minutes drag
+   counter, bypass stamp), encircled bench groups, iconic channel cards,
+   side-scroll gallery wells with themed scrollbars, the pair/set/color
+   presses. Architecture rule from the prototypes: instruments that own a
+   clock own their widget lifetime (never rebuilt on state refresh).
+   Layer-shell chassis under the bar, wallpaper sub-view navigation,
+   AT-SPI smoke per the family pattern.
+4. *Integration and bar* — gear module + Super+Shift+G; bar consolidation
+   per decision A as amended (dim and caffeine modules dropped 2026-07-22;
+   airplane's bar indicator is gone with the control — the network panel
+   owns it; only touchpad keeps a bar indicator; wire refresh signals
+   both ways); the
+   watch/clock/world renderers as projected surfaces (the night watch as
+   the hyprlock face per the WATCH-is-the-lock-screen resolution); live
+   hypridle rewrite-and-reload; dunst pause-level configuration; end-to-
+   end verify-everything against the real machine.
+
+Test surface: fake-binary suites for every backing; presenter suites
+covering program recall/edit semantics (including the active-scene-
+survives-member-writes invariant), idle-stage clamping/parking/bypass,
+and mint/edit/delete/sort round trips for all three minted stores; one
+AT-SPI smoke; a scripted end-to-end pass mirroring prototype 37's
+17-point suite.
+
+* Review findings [7/7]
+
+Reviewed 2026-07-22 (in-session, both roles — the annotation-batch method
+kept author and reviewer in one loop; Craig's "Build it" sealed the
+design). Rubric: *Ready with caveats* — the caveats are build-time picks,
+not design gaps.
+
+** DONE Implementation phases reflected the pre-casting roster
+CLOSED: [2026-07-22 Wed]
+The four phases still described the original controls table (lock/
+suspend, per-toggle rows). Rewritten this pass to the settled design —
+matrix, bench, wallpaper channels, projected surfaces — with the test
+surface enumerated.
+** DONE Stale architecture prose vs settled design
+CLOSED: [2026-07-22 Wed]
+The Design sketch accumulated its corrections through the iteration
+entries (controls table amended in place; wallpaper mode table and
+clock-channel backings recorded; Final prototype section added). The
+iterations subsection is the authoritative design log.
+** DONE Wallpaper setter tool selection :build:
+CLOSED: [2026-07-22 Wed]
+DECIDED (phase 1, 2026-07-22): awww 0.12.1 — the swww fork already
+running as the wallpaper daemon (=swww= on PATH is a symlink to it;
+=set-wallpaper= already drives it). Images and slashed pairs go through
+awww =img=; solid colors through awww =clear <color>=; video via
+mpvpaper (not yet installed — install lands in phase 4 integration);
+clock/world/watch are projected layer-shell surfaces, not setter jobs.
+The engine's setter adapter takes the binary from env so the fake-binary
+suite and a future setter swap both stay one seam.
+** DONE Speedrun pre-flight picks (Craig, 2026-07-22) :build:
+CLOSED: [2026-07-22 Wed]
+Batched before the phases 2-4 autonomous run:
+- Alarm sources for DND: wtimer only — its notifications get the
+  CRITICAL promotion in the phase-4 dunstrc rules; everything else
+  drops at unpause.
+- Night-watch host: google-chrome-stable in kiosk mode, launched by the
+  hypridle watch stage, killed on resume.
+- Sun-pair location: live whereami lookup at each transition (the
+  machine's own location is the right datum for its screen), with the
+  last good reading cached in state.json as the offline fallback.
+- Factory scenes (Focus / Presentation / Battery-saver / Night): drafted
+  against the controls table during phase 2, corrected by Craig in the
+  panel afterward.
+** DONE DND unpause variant — held, not punch-through :build:
+CLOSED: [2026-07-22 Wed]
+DECIDED (Craig, 2026-07-22, first live drive): the held-to-unpause
+variant. While DND is on nothing shows, alarms included (pause level
+100 holds everything). At release, ordinary notifications are dropped
+(history keeps them) and the alarms that arrived during DND surface:
+close-all → read history → unpause → history-pop each CRITICAL entry
+newer than the engage stamp, oldest first. The engine records the
+engage instant as CLOCK_MONOTONIC microseconds (dunst's history
+timestamp base) in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. The controls-table note offering
+punch-through-live is superseded by this finding.
+** DONE Night-light tool selection :build:
+CLOSED: [2026-07-22 Wed]
+DECIDED (phase 1, 2026-07-22): gammastep (installed; hyprsunset is not).
+On Wayland the gamma ramp only holds while a client owns the
+wlr-gamma-control protocol, so gammastep stays resident while night
+light is on and the backing mirrors caffeine's daemon model: engage =
+spawn detached (=gammastep -O <temp>=, default 4500K), release = pkill,
+pgrep as the one source of truth. Swapping to hyprsunset later is one
+adapter change behind the same seam.
+** DONE Persisted store location and format :build:
+CLOSED: [2026-07-22 Wed]
+DECIDED (phase 1, 2026-07-22): one JSON document at
+=~/.config/desktop-settings/state.json= (root overridable via
+=DESKTOP_SETTINGS_CONFIG_DIR= for tests) carrying programs (slots 1-4),
+idle stages, and the wallpaper store (channel, pairs, sets, colors,
+sources, interval). Factory presets ship as defaults in code; the store
+writes atomically (temp file + rename) and tolerates a missing or
+corrupt file by falling back to defaults.

+:SPEC_ID: d6bb1e73-ec90-4327-85ee-bfa762da5bce
+:END:
+The GTK build of the desktop-settings panel per the spec (docs/specs/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-spec.org, DOING; normative reference: prototype 37). Work happens in dotfiles settings/ — archsetup drives the lifecycle. Two non-blocking build-time picks live in the spec's Review findings (wallpaper setter tool; store location/format) — decide in phase 1 and record there.
+*** 2026-07-22 Wed @ 13:14:01 -0500 Built the backings engine (phase 1) — dotfiles 7a15237
+Landed as dotfiles settings/src/settings (10 modules) + tests/settings (118 tests against fake binaries, auto-discovered by make test — 81 suites green). Covers brightness/kbd (5% floor, x10 drum), toggles (dim, pointer cycle via toggle-touchpad, caffeine), DND class-split (dunst pause level 60, close-all before unpause, alarms punch through live), powerprofilesctl, nightlight (resident gammastep), hypridle.conf renderer + symlink-safe write + caffeine-respecting reload + hyprlock grace, suntimes (pure NOAA math), and the wallpaper engine (awww/mpvpaper/projector adapters, galleries, random draw, atomic JSON store). All three build-time picks recorded as DONE findings in the spec (setter=awww, store=state.json, nightlight=gammastep). Handoff note in ~/.dotfiles/inbox/.
+*** TODO Phase 2 — presenters :solo:
+GTK-free models at 100% unit coverage: program matrix (complete definitions, active-is-live surviving member writes, pin/letter/radio rows, slots 1-4), bench (drums, pointers, idle clamping/parking/bypass), wallpaper channels (mint/edit/delete/sort for pairs/sets/colors, per-mode sources, previews).
+*** TODO Phase 3 — GTK4/Blueprint UI
+Port prototype 37's instruments to GTK in family chrome: console keys, programmable matrix, drum roller, tripper dial (bottom legend, exact drag counter, bypass stamp), encircled groups, iconic channel cards, themed gallery wells, the three presses. Self-clocked instruments own their widget lifetime. Layer-shell chassis, sub-view navigation, AT-SPI smoke.
+*** TODO Phase 4 — integration and bar
+Bar consolidation LANDED EARLY (2026-07-22, live): gear module + Super+Shift+G wired; dim AND caffeine modules dropped (Craig amended decision A during the first drive — bar keeps only touchpad; dim/caffeine are panel-owned, keybinds stay). Remaining: watch/clock/world projected renderers (night watch as the hyprlock face); live hypridle rewrite; dunst pause-level config (alarm rules with override_pause_level 100); refresh-signal rewiring; end-to-end verify-everything.
+Backing tools: mpvpaper (AUR) + power-profiles-daemon installed on ratio 2026-07-22 and added to the installer (ppd service enable gated on no-battery, since TLP owns power on laptops). Remaining: velox wants mpvpaper (and optionally the ppd package, service off) by hand — one-time AUR install the sync doesn't carry.
+*** TODO Test surface — end-to-end pass
+A scripted end-to-end pass mirroring prototype 37's 17-point suite against the real panel, plus the per-phase suites called out above.
+*** TODO Flip the spec to IMPLEMENTED
+When the phases land: flip docs/specs/2026-07-02-desktop-settings-panel-spec.org DOING → IMPLEMENTED with a dated history line naming the shipping commits.
+** TODO [#C] Timer module hero hierarchy :feature:waybar:timer:
+From the roam inbox (Craig, claimed 2026-07-22). Which display ("hero") wins the waybar timer module when several timer modes run simultaneously: pomodoro wins over everything (the user is actively working; it's likely their main focus). The rest rank in chronological order of when they would ring. Worked example: with a just-started 15-min timer, a 1-hr timer at 10 minutes left, a pomodoro, and an alarm ringing in 12 minutes — show the pomodoro; when it completes, the 1-hr timer (rings first), then the alarm, then the 15-min timer. Feeds the timer-panel spec (docs/specs/2026-07-02-timer-panel-spec.org).
+** TODO [#C] Timer module: drop RING message, persistent notifications :bug:waybar:timer:
+From the roam inbox (Craig, claimed 2026-07-22). Remove the RING message from the timer module display; verify all timer and alarm notifications are persistent; the icon returns to normal once the notification has fired. Rationale: keeps timers and pomodoros from interfering with one another's displays (pairs with the hero-hierarchy task above).
+** TODO [#C] PTT icon outline removal :bug:waybar:
+From the roam inbox (Craig, claimed 2026-07-22): the waybar PTT icon should not have an outline. Cosmetic × every-glance = P3 = [#C].
+** TODO [#B] Weather tooltip caching :feature:waybar:weather:
+From the roam inbox (Craig, claimed 2026-07-22): retrieve the weather tooltip data once per hour and cache it. If the network is unavailable, display the cached tooltip with explanatory text saying so. Dotfiles-side work (archsetup owns the lifecycle); touches common/.local/bin/weather.
+** TODO [#C] WiFi tooltip signal strength :feature:waybar:network:
+From the roam inbox (Craig, claimed 2026-07-22): add signal strength to the WiFi tooltip.
+** TODO [#C] Night-watch live telemetry :feature:maint:
+Craig, 2026-07-21 ("mind. blown."): drive the Dupre Night Watch screensaver (docs/prototypes/2026-07-21-night-watch-screensaver-prototype-1.html, the idle-pipeline eye-candy stage in the desktop-settings spec) with real system data instead of synthetic signals — a passive status wall while the machine idles. Candidate mappings: scope = CPU load trace, drift chart = memory pressure history, spectrum = per-core utilization, VU pair = net throughput up/down, blinkenlights = disk I/O, tape counter = uptime, systems lamps / annunciator = maint status verdicts, engine-order telegraph = current power profile, VFD wire = maint status one-liner (temps, battery, pending updates). Browser prototype can poll a small local JSON endpoint; the production shape belongs to the idle-stage build. Depends on the spec's idle-pipeline implementation landing first.
+** TODO [#B] Dupre Kit merge — casting additions :feature:tooling:
+Fold docs/prototypes/dupre-kit-additions.js back into the kit proper: detentFader (NEW — multi-detent slide attenuator with speedbump drag physics: magnet + escape hysteresis, parked tick glow) and the drumRoller redefinition (UPGRADE — 1..N channels and min/max range; stock hardcodes two drums and throws on one, defaults reproduce stock exactly) and the guardedToggle redefinition (UPGRADE — lever throws with rotateX so it flips toward the viewer instead of the stock 180° planar spin that sweeps sideways mid-transition; contract unchanged). Merge means: builders into widgets.js, the additions CSS into DUPRE_CSS, additions-scoped gradients into the shared defs plate, gallery cards for both in panel-widget-gallery.html, and POLICY entries. Origin: the desktop-settings casting sitting 2026-07-21 — Craig's direction is that components get finished by being needed ("the ones needed most will have had the most attention"), so more additions may accrue here before the merge; batch them.
+** TODO [#C] Wlogout screen review :bug:hyprland:dotfiles:
+Craig, 2026-07-21: the wlogout window (Super+Shift+Q — lock/reboot/shutdown/logout/suspend/hibernate) "isn't great and has bugs." Review it end to end: catalogue the specific bugs, then assess the design against the Dupre instrument-console family (it predates the panel aesthetic). Config lives in dotfiles; the bind is hyprland.conf:428 (=pgrep -x wlogout || wlogout-menu=). Context: the desktop-settings panel spec withdrew lock/suspend in favor of this screen (2026-07-21 amendment), so it's now the sole owner of session-exit actions — worth being good. Grade each bug found via the severity×frequency matrix; this parent stays a [#C] review until specifics emerge.
 ** TODO [#B] Audit cgit-published repos for secrets and privacy :bug:security:
+:PROPERTIES:
+:LAST_REVIEWED: 2026-07-21
+:END:
 Grading: security carve-out — cgit at git.cjennings.net serves every repo under scan-path=/var/git over unauthenticated https (any repo is anonymously cloneable). archsetup being public is by design (curl-install), but this means ANY secret in ANY /var/git repo is world-readable, and any repo meant to be private is not. Severity depends on what else lives there = P2 = [#B], raise if a private repo with secrets is found.
 Not :solo: — needs Craig's decisions. Steps: list repos under /var/git; for each, decide intended public vs private; scan each for secrets (keys, tokens, credentials) the way this WireGuard leak was found; for any meant-to-be-private repo, actually restrict access (cgit repo.hide only hides from the index — a known repo name is still cloneable; use http auth or move it off the public scan-path); for public repos, confirm no secrets and add a pre-receive/CI secret scan. Check dotfiles (git.cjennings.net/dotfiles) specifically — it is also under /var/git. archsetup's own move is decided and tracked separately below.
 ** TODO [#B] Move archsetup off cgit to cjennings@cjennings.net :chore:security:
+:PROPERTIES:
+:LAST_REVIEWED: 2026-07-21
+:END:
 Decided (Craig, 2026-07-20): move the archsetup repo off the public cgit host (git@cjennings.net, scan-path /var/git) to Craig's private account remote cjennings@cjennings.net, so it is no longer world-cloneable. This is the archsetup-specific fix for the cgit-exposure finding above.
 Plan: create a bare repo under cjennings's control off the cgit scan-path (e.g. =~cjennings/git/archsetup.git=); push current main + tags there; migrate the post-receive hook that publishes the installer to =/var/www/cjennings/archsetup= so curl-install keeps working (the single published file stays public by design; only the repo goes private); update the origin remote on ratio and velox to =cjennings@cjennings.net:git/archsetup.git=; remove =/var/git/archsetup.git= so cgit no longer serves it. Verify: anonymous =git clone https://git.cjennings.net/archsetup.git= fails, the new private clone works from both machines, and the curl-install URL still returns the installer. Keep the two daily drivers' remotes in sync (daily-drivers rule).
 ** TODO [#B] Velox boot-failure retrospective — upgrade guard gaps :bug:zfs:maint:
+:PROPERTIES:
+:LAST_REVIEWED: 2026-07-21
+:END:
 Post-mortem for the 2026-07-15 velox no-kernel boot failure, from the archsetup/maint code review:
 - maint's UPDATE remedy runs a plain =yay -Syu --noconfirm= (remedies.py:297). The live-update guard (guard.py) only matches mesa/hyprland (the 2026-06-07 live-swap class) — it never checks /boot, kernel, initramfs, or mkinitcpio exit. No post-upgrade /boot assertion exists. An interrupted kernel transaction slips straight through.
 - Add a post-upgrade /boot assertion: after a transaction touching linux/linux-*, confirm vmlinuz-* + initramfs-*.img present and mkinitcpio exit 0; refuse to end the run (or page Craig) otherwise. Would have caught this.
 - Sanoid-vs-actual dataset drift: configure_zfs_snapshots configures zroot/var/log + zroot/var/lib/pacman as separate datasets; velox's actual layout has neither separate (/var/log sits inside zroot/var). Reconcile.
-- Confirm the pre-pacman snapshot hook is actually installed + firing on velox (it should be — it's what makes recovery possible).
+- CONFIRMED (2026-07-21): the pre-pacman snapshot hook fired on velox — the 2026-07-15 no-kernel boot was recovered via the pre-pacman ZFS snapshot rollback, and velox is back on the tailnet running linux-lts 6.18.38 with initramfs present (2026-07-19 session). Root-cause hook-ordering fix shipped separately. Still open: the post-upgrade /boot assertion in guard.py and the sanoid-vs-actual dataset drift reconcile (the two bullets above).

+CLOSED: [2026-07-21 Tue]
+Dropped 2026-07-21 (Craig's call) — not tracking the upstream report. The crash evidence (both reports + tmpfs log excerpts) and the voice-passed issue draft stay preserved in [[file:working/hyprland-layoutmsg-crash/][working/hyprland-layoutmsg-crash/]] if it recurs and is worth reviving.
 Grading: Critical severity (SIGSEGV kills the whole desktop session; every GUI app's unsaved state lost) x rare edge case (twice in ~4.5 months: 2026-03-07 on v0.54.1, 2026-07-20 on v0.55.4) = P2 = [#B]. Upstream Hyprland bug, not this repo's code — the task tracks reporting it and picking up the fix.
 A layoutmsg mfact dispatch (layout-resize, mod+H/L) throws std::bad_variant_access inside Layout::CAlgorithm::layoutMsg, uncaught, SIGSEGV. Both crashes fired from the layout-resize mfact path (keycode 104 shrink today, 108 grow in March). Layout at crash was master and the identical mfact had worked seconds earlier; the pre-crash window held monocle<->master toggles, two window closes dropping focus to "[Window nullptr]", and togglefloating x2. Monocle is a registered v0.55 layout (log shows graceful "Unknown monocle layoutmsg" rejects), so the config is not at fault; related edges are guarded ("mfact -> no window") while this path misses its variant guard. Repo has no newer build (0.55.4-1 installed and repo).
 Evidence preserved in [[file:working/hyprland-layoutmsg-crash/][working/hyprland-layoutmsg-crash/]] (both crash reports + excerpts from the tmpfs session log, extracted before reboot loses it).
 Next: Craig posts the issue himself (2026-07-20 decision) — the voice-passed draft is [[file:working/hyprland-layoutmsg-crash/issue-draft.md][issue-draft.md]], with both crash reports and the log excerpts beside it for attaching. Watch the repo for a fixed release and close on confirmation. The layout-resize script guard was declined (a script can't observe the internal desync).

 On dotfiles main (=c9f8604=, pushed). Craig approved proceeding with the default precedence. =classify= adds =disable-rival= (rival dhcpcd/networkd/iwd active + a failing link) and =chmod-keyfile= (bad-perms keyfile + a failing link), both =remedy_class="privileged"= through the same panelkit gate. PRECEDENCE settled: both gate on a local-link symptom (never nag next to a working link), sit behind rfkill/service (more fundamental) and ahead of the generic reset (naming the cause beats a blind reconnect); tested (rfkill beats rival, rival beats reset). Priv verbs =disable-rival= (three-unit allowlist), =chmod-keyfile=/=chown-keyfile= (paths validated under system-connections, no traversal). Repairs re-derive their target (=active_rivals= / the active connection). =fake-systemctl= gained a state dir so a disable flips the re-check. 782 net tests + 65 suites green, review-code clean. Two coverage edges deferred to the VM: the keyfile fix's root-owned pass (only reproduces under root), and whether disable-rival needs a follow-on reset to restore the link. All three Phase 1 verdicts now fake-complete; VM live-verification is the remaining piece (see the sub-task).
 **** TODO Net Phase 1 live verification — run the scenario harness against a VM
 The harness is BUILT (archsetup =a364c1e=): =scripts/testing/net-scenarios/{10-nm-masked,20-rival-manager,30-keyfile-perms}.sh= (break/fix/assert + the expected diagnose verdict) and =run-net-scenarios.sh= (rsyncs net+panelkit into a target over ssh, drives the scenarios). Scenario logic reviewed; the ssh transport plumbing is UNEXERCISED (marked first-draft) and wants a shakeout on the first real run. What remains needs Craig: a booted VM (a real kernel + network stack — NM does NOT run reliably in nspawn, so a container only shows the mask-symlink/keyfile-mode half, not "NM active") with NetworkManager + dhcpcd installed, reachable over ssh as root. Then =run-net-scenarios.sh --target root@HOST --profile <saved-profile>=. The two live questions: disable-rival was already chained to a follow-on reset (=be15a81=), so the run confirms whether the reset fires or NM auto-recovers; and the keyfile root-owned pass (only reproduces under root). The by-hand equivalent is the "Manual testing and validation" → "Net doctor privileged fixes" checklist.
+***** 2026-07-21 Tue @ 08:20:00 -0500 Decided (Craig): agent runs it via the archangel test VM, deferred to a later session
+No longer "needs Craig to provide a VM." The VM is the archangel test harness (=scripts/testing/create-base-vm.sh= + =vm-utils.sh=; ISO in =~/archangel-isos/=). Plan: in a later session the agent boots a fresh archangel VM (NetworkManager + dhcpcd), then runs =run-net-scenarios.sh --target root@HOST --profile <saved-profile>= against it, exercising the unexercised ssh transport on the first real run and answering the two live questions above. A 40-60 min VM operation; agent-driven, checkpointing and surfacing if it needs Craig's hands. This makes the sub-task agent-workable rather than blocked.

 On dotfiles main (=12e3e76=, pushed). =gather_context= derives an auth cause on an auth failure from the saved profile's key-mgmt + the scanned SECURITY flags for the SSID (not GENERAL.REASON, which only marks *that* auth failed): sae / hidden / enterprise / generic. =classify= turns sae and hidden into =fixable= Privileged profile-modifies (=key-mgmt sae= + PMF, or the hidden flag) routed through =panelkit.resolve()= like the Phase 1 control-plane verdicts; enterprise and generic stay =needs-user-action= with a cause-named message. Two new priv verbs (=conn-sae=, =conn-hidden=, uuid-validated single =nmcli connection modify= commands) + =repair_auth_sae=/=repair_auth_hidden=, each chained into a reset (FIX_CHAINS) so NM reconnects with the corrected profile. Hidden fires only on a non-empty scan missing the SSID, so a failed scan can't fabricate it. Tightened the =fake-nmcli= key-mgmt hook to require the =-g= prefix so the conn-sae modify isn't read back as a get_value. Pairwise (reason × profile-state) covered in =TestAuthCauseDerivation=. 813 net tests + 65 suites green, review-code Approve, voice. Inbox note sent.

 The weather-kit work added =#custom-weather= selectors to =hyprland/.config/waybar/style.css= but never mirrored them into =hyprland/.config/themes/dupre/waybar.css=. =tests/theme-css= asserts the two files are identical (set-theme copies the theme file over the live one), so switching to dupre would silently revert the weather chip styling.

 From the roam inbox (routed 2026-07-13): the memory-killer section seemed to update too often, and "it's a bit unclear what the line is doing; consider something else." Diagnosis (2026-07-14): the data cadence is already the requested 3s (gui live tier, _LIVE_SECONDS); the perceived churn is the live-refresh hairline — the 2px bar under the live sections that drains full-to-empty over each 3s window, redrawn at 150ms (gui._hair_tick, viewmodel.refresh_fraction). It exists to tell a stale board from a frozen one (2026-07-09), but it reads as constant unexplained motion. Design call for Craig: replace the draining line with something whose meaning is legible — candidates: a dot that blinks once per refresh, a "3s" age caption that only appears when refresh is overdue, slowing the drain redraw, or dropping the indicator on live tiers and keeping it only when data goes stale. Keep the stale-vs-frozen distinguishability that motivated the hairline.
+*** 2026-07-21 Tue @ 08:35:00 -0500 Decided (Craig): silent-until-stale age caption
+Replace the draining 2px hairline with an age caption that shows ONLY when refresh is overdue (e.g. "3s", "8s" once past the expected window) and shows nothing while the board is healthy. This keeps the stale-vs-frozen signal — a frozen board surfaces a growing age number, a live one stays clean — while removing the constant motion the hairline created. Implementation (dotfiles, archsetup-owned): drop =gui._hair_tick= / the hairline draw, add an overdue-age caption driven off =viewmodel.refresh_fraction= (or the last-refresh timestamp) rendered only past the live window. Now unblocked; needs a live visual check on the panel after.

+*** 2026-07-21 Tue @ 08:10:00 -0500 Re-graded D → C (Craig): treat as the actionable version-skew recurrence
+Craig's call: the fired tell counts as the version-skew recurrence this task predicts (zevlg =:latest= outran the installed elisp again), not just benign host noise — so it bumps [#D] → [#C]. Action: re-pin / upgrade the TDLib side (upgrade the elisp telega package on ratio+velox, or move to a host-native pinned TDLib build) so the server's plist parser and the installed elisp agree again. The durable escape remains the host-native pinned TDLib build.

+*** 2026-07-21 Tue @ 08:00:00 -0500 Audit reconcile: the tell FIRED — coredumps recurred
+The named tell has tripped. =~/.telega/telega-server.log:11413= now carries a fresh =Assertion failed: false (telega-dat.c: tdat_plist_value: 500)=, and =coredumpctl= shows telega-server SIGSEGV recurring on ratio: a burst of 8 on 2026-07-15, then 07-16, 07-18, 07-19, newest 2026-07-20 23:41. The 2026-07-09 "nothing recurred" verdict below is superseded.
+Open question for Craig (re-grade): is this the version-skew recurrence this task predicts (zevlg =:latest= outran the installed elisp again — actionable: re-pin/upgrade TDLib) or the separately-known benign dockerized-musl SIGSEGV class (the health-check known-issues entry, cosmetic host-coredump noise)? The answer decides whether this bumps back [#D] → [#C]. Note the health-check on 2026-07-21 classified this boot's telega coredumps as KNOWN musl-build noise, which argues against a version-skew regression — but the fresh tdat_plist_value assertion is the skew signature, so the two need reconciling.

 *** 2026-07-09 Thu @ 16:32:54 -0500 Audit reconcile: the fix is holding; re-graded C → D
 Verified rather than assumed: =~/.telega/telega-server.log= carries zero =tdat_plist_value= assertions, and the newest telega-server coredump is 2026-07-08 16:57 — before .emacs.d upgraded the elisp. Nothing has recurred.
