New Task now opens directly as an empty ChatThread (NewTaskChat) instead of
a separate compose screen, sized like a real task window. The Scope/Activity
context rail in a task window no longer renders until there's actually
something to show (touched entities, activity, or an open question),
avoiding an empty-placeholder sidebar on every new task. Also fixes the
chat input defaulting to several lines tall on window open, centers the
empty-chat greeting vertically, and gives floating windows the same
frosted-glass look as the desktop's task launcher card.

Implements plans/2026-07-20-desktop-mascot.md. New code under
web/src/lib/mascot/ (types/sprites/render/state/behavior/actions/
stimuli + Mascot/MascotLayer/RadialMenu/NameDialog components) plus
CC0 sprite sheets at web/public/mascot/ (chicken + Onocentaur egg pack
+ reaction bubbles). MascotLayer is inserted into Desktop.svelte after
WindowLayer; <2-line integration.
Tamagotchi: egg -> chick -> adult lifecycle persisted to
localStorage['oikos-mascot'] (debounced 300ms). Egg hatches on first
naming (no timed incubation per implementation deviation). Chick/adult
wander, peck, sleep, blink autonomously via a weighted-random FSM; the
chicken walks above windows (ground line = highest window top edge
beneath its x, recomputed each tick from wmState; rides the ground when
the window beneath is dragged).
Interaction: draggable with flutter-fall physics on release mid-air;
plain click = pet (heart bubble + happy anim); right-click opens a
rounded-button radial menu (Interact/Care/Identity/Debug nested groups)
mirroring the desktop's own right-click menu styling; auto-flips above/
left near screen edges.
Awareness: stimulus bus subscribes to chat.ts streaming, activity.ts
activityLog (knowledge-entry diff), events.ts liveEvents (critical/
signal -> alarmed, execution -> happy), with priority+cooldown gating.
Egg-stage reactions are suppressed. Reaction bubbles are anti-aliased.
Sprite loop runs at ~60fps via setTimeout (not rAF) per GraphBackground
convention, dt clamped to 100ms; position via transform: translate3d
+ will-change: transform for compositor-friendly motion. Z-index
ordering: WindowLayer z-40 < MascotLayer z-[45] < desktop context menu
z-50 < RadialMenu/NameDialog z-[60].
Docs: plan + docs/mascot/README.md (MBSE subsystem model) updated to
Implemented with a deviations note covering hatch-on-naming, PNG-sheet
art, button-column radial menu, 60fps loop, egg-reaction suppression,
and window-walking ground model. VERSION bumped 0.7.13 -> 0.8.0.
The taskbar's gear icon reopened the full-page "Connect to Oikos" screen
even once already connected. Split that: Config.svelte stays as the
first-run/unconfigured screen; a new Settings app (windowed, like Tasks or
Operations) now handles in-session changes, with a section list (Connection,
Appearance) built to grow — future settings are one more entry, not a new
screen.
- pages/Settings.svelte: Connection (server URL/token/Authentik, reusing
config.ts + oidc.ts) and Appearance (Terracotta/Carbon picker) sections.
- apps.ts: registered as a normal desktop app.
- Taskbar's gear button now opens the Settings window; removed the
onOpenConnection prop threaded through App -> Desktop -> Taskbar, since
Settings' "Forget saved connection" (clear config + reload) replaces it.

Replace the sidebar + hash-routed page shell with a desktop metaphor:
draggable app icons, apps opening as floating wmkit windows, a centered
"What should Nomos do?" task launcher, and a bottom taskbar showing all
open windows plus a system tray.
- New app registry ($lib/apps.ts) — adding an app is one entry, nothing
else to touch.
- New desktop shell components (Desktop, WindowLayer, DesktopIcon,
Taskbar, TaskLauncher) under $lib/components/desktop-shell/.
- Icon positions are a persisted, collision-avoiding grid ($lib/stores/icons.ts).
- Window layout persists across reloads (wmkit persist), with
drag-to-maximize, F6 window cycling, and now a right-click desktop menu
(cascade/tile/show desktop/reset icons) plus Cmd/Ctrl+Z undo/redo for
window moves, resizes, and closes.
- Taskbar buttons get a hover-close and self-correct their title once a
new task's real goal is known.
- New task windows (desktop launcher and the Tasks app's "New task"
button) open as a window, not a dialog, and hand off to the real
session window once the backend assigns an id.
- Fixed a real gap along the way: GET /sessions/{id} couldn't tell
"session deleted" from "session has no messages yet" (both returned
200 with an empty list) — cmd/nomos/main.go now checks existence and
404s, so a stale/persisted task window shows "Task not found" instead
of a misleadingly empty, live-looking chat.
- Test coverage for the new pure logic (icon placement/collision
avoidance, app registry id helpers) plus a vitest matchMedia polyfill
needed to import anything touching the theme store.
Deletes the now-superseded sidebar shell, MinimizedWindowsBar, and the
standalone Chat/EntityDetail pages (folded into the window layer).
