fix(web): replace generic spinners with content-shaped loading skeletons

The six loading states across the Knowledge wiki (initial app load, the
reader's note/history fetches, and the four Cleanup tabs) all showed a
centered spinner with no relation to what was about to render — costing
a full reflow the instant real content landed. Replaces each with a
skeleton shaped like its actual content (tree rows, reader header +
prose, revision list + diff, cluster cards, table rows, flat lists)
using the existing shadcn Skeleton primitive already used elsewhere.

Verified each of the six by temporarily injecting a delay into
fetchWithAuth and screenshotting the transient state.

+stretches along its motion in the air and tilts into horizontal velocity

+## 9. web control room — App architecture
+
+**Stakeholders:** anyone adding a page, adding a desktop overlay, or
+planning dynamic/third-party app installation. **Why this View earns its
+place:** §5 documents the *pages*; this View documents the *shell* they
+hang off — and the shell is the part whose contract a new app has to
+satisfy. It is also the layer where the "Oikos-as-OS" metaphor
+(desktop, icons, floating windows, a tamagotchi-style resident
+creature) is actually implemented, so the boundary between "Base OS" and
+"App" has to be explicit here or it doesn't exist anywhere.
+
+### App architecture — Internal structure
+
+| File | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `web/src/lib/apps.ts` | The App registry. Two layers: `builtinApps` (static, always installed) + `installedAppIds` (persisted, from the App Store). The public `apps` store is derived (built-in + installed); `appById` is a derived Map. `installApp`/`uninstallApp` mutate the installed set. Window-id helpers (`appWindowId`, `appIdFromWindowId`) unchanged. |
+| `web/src/app-store/catalog.ts` | The installable-app catalog: `AppManifest` (persistable metadata) + `CatalogEntry` (manifest + Lucide icon + dynamic-import loader). Static in Phase 3 (apps ship with the build); Phase 4 swaps this for a fetched `/api/v1/apps` endpoint. Declares `AppPermission` (enforcement is Phase 4). |
+| `web/src/app-store/apps/Notes.svelte` | Demo installable app — a localStorage-backed scratchpad proving the install→icon→window→uninstall lifecycle end-to-end. |
+| `web/src/lib/stores/windows.ts` | The wmkit window manager singleton + the `openAppWindow` / `openEntityWindow` / `openTaskWindow` primitives. `openAppWindow` branches on `docked` (toggles visibility) vs windowed (`wm.open`); resolves the app via `get(appById)`. |
+| `web/src/lib/stores/docked.ts` | Persisted visibility for docked apps. Absent key = visible (default-on); store holds only overrides. Deliberately does **not** import `APPS` — doing so would create a static cycle (`apps.ts` → pages → `windows.ts` → here → `apps.ts`) and fire a TDZ on `APPS` at init. |
+| `web/src/lib/stores/icons.ts` | Desktop icon grid: column/row positions, drag-to-reorder, localStorage persistence. Reactive to the `apps` store — a newly-installed app gets a free cell on the next emission; `resetIconLayout` re-seeds from the live registry, not a static snapshot. |
+| `web/src/lib/components/LazyApp.svelte` | Renders an app's lazily-loaded component (`AppDef.component` is a dynamic-import loader, not the component). Shows the shared spinner while the chunk fetches; used by both WindowLayer and DockedLayer so the loading state is uniform across app kinds. Vite's module cache makes repeat opens resolve from cache. |
+| `web/src/lib/components/desktop-shell/Desktop.svelte` | Full-viewport surface: background, icons, task launcher, `<WindowLayer />`, `<DockedLayer />`, taskbar. Reads `$apps` (the derived store) so installs reflect immediately. |
+| `web/src/lib/components/desktop-shell/WindowLayer.svelte` | Floating-window stack (z-40). Resolves window id → content component; renders shared titlebar chrome. The orphan-close `$effect` is reactive on `$appById` — reinstalling an app revives its persisted window, uninstalling closes it. |
+| `web/src/lib/components/desktop-shell/DockedLayer.svelte` | Docked-app overlay (z-45). Renders `$apps.filter(a => a.docked)` gated on `dockedVisibility`. Replaces the previously-hardcoded `<MascotLayer />`. |
+| `web/src/lib/components/desktop-shell/Taskbar.svelte` | Window buttons + tray. Renders from `wmState.order`; resolves icons via `$appById`. |
+| `web/src/pages/AppStore.svelte` | The App Store — lists the catalog, shows install state, install/uninstall. Installing makes the app appear on the desktop immediately (no reload) via the reactive `apps` store; uninstalling closes any open window for that app via WindowLayer's orphan-close effect. |
+
+### App architecture — The App contract
+
+```typescript
+interface AppDef {
+  id: string                 // unique; window IDs are "app:<id>"
+  title: string              // desktop icon label + window titlebar
+  icon: Component            // Lucide icon (desktop icon + taskbar)
+  component: () => Promise<{ default: Component }>  // dynamic-import loader
+  docked?: boolean           // true = Docked Layer app, no window
+  noIcon?: boolean           // true = registered but no desktop icon
+  width?: number; height?: number; minWidth?: number; minHeight?: number
+                             // required for windowed, forbidden for docked
+  badge?: (s: DashboardSummary | null) => number
+}
+```
+
+`component` is a dynamic-import loader (`() => import('../pages/X.svelte')`),
+not the component itself. Desktop icons render from metadata alone (id,
+title, icon — all static), the component chunk fetches on first window
+open, and Vite code-splits each app into its own chunk (Phase 2). The
+mascot uses the same path — `() => import('./mascot/MascotLayer.svelte')`
+— which also defers the mascot's module graph until after `apps.ts` has
+finished initializing, breaking what would otherwise be a static cycle
+(`apps.ts` → `MascotLayer` → `Mascot.svelte` → `icons.ts` → `apps.ts`).
+
+Two app kinds, picked by one flag:
+
+| Kind | Window | Titlebar | Taskbar | Opened by |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Windowed** (default) | wmkit floating window | yes | yes | `openAppWindow` → `wm.open` |
+| **Docked** (`docked: true`) | none — renders on the Docked Layer | no | no | `openAppWindow` → `toggleDocked` |
+
+Apps receive **no props** from the shell. They import the OS-service
+surface (below) directly. The shell→app edge is one-way.
+
+### App architecture — The OS-service surface (AppOS)
+
+The stable set of `$lib` exports an App may import. Everything else in
+`$lib` is shell-internal and may change without notice. This is a
+**documentation contract** today (apps are compiled in); it becomes an
+**enforced sandbox boundary** the moment third-party app installation
+(Phase 3 in [the plan](../../plans/2026-07-21-frontend-os-apps-architecture.md)) lands.
+
+| Service | Import |
+|---|---|
+| Open an app window | `openAppWindow(id)` from `$lib/stores/windows` |
+| Open an entity window | `openEntityWindow(slug)` from `$lib/stores/windows` |
+| Open a task window | `openTaskWindow(sessionId, title)` from `$lib/stores/windows` |
+| Dashboard summary | `summary`, `subscribeContext` from `$lib/stores/context` |
+| Live events | `subscribeEvents` from `$lib/stores/events` |
+| Per-session chat / workspace / activity | `chatFor`, `workspaceFor`, `activityLogFor` from `$lib/stores/{chat,workspace,activity}` |
+| REST API | `$lib/api` (generated from OpenAPI, [ADR-0004](../adr/0004-openapi-first.md)) |
+| UI primitives | `$lib/components/ui/*` |
+| Theme | `getTheme`, `setTheme` from `$lib/stores/theme.svelte` |
+
+### App architecture — Content resolution
+
+Window ids are namespaced so the window layer resolves content purely
+from the id, with no extra bookkeeping — which is also why persisted
+windows hydrate correctly across reloads:
+
+| Id shape | Renders |
+|---|---|
+| `app:<id>` | the registry app's component (`appById.get(id).component`) |
+| `session:<id>` | `SessionChatWindow` (per-session chat) |
+| `new-task` | `NewTaskChat` (singleton compose) |
+| bare slug (`type:identifier`) | `EntityDetailContent` (fallback) |
+
+A hydrated `app:<id>` window whose id no longer matches a registry entry
+(an app removed since the layout was persisted) self-closes — the
+orphan-close `$effect` in `WindowLayer.svelte` sweeps it on mount.
+
+### App architecture — Current population
+
+Seven windowed apps + one docked app:
+
+| App | Kind | Badge |
+|---|---|---|
+| `tasks` | windowed | — |
+| `kb` | windowed | — |
+| `ops` | windowed | `approvals_pending` |
+| `signals` | windowed | open signal count |
+| `knowledge` | windowed | — |
+| `learning` | windowed | — |
+| `settings` | windowed | — |
+| `mascot` (Cluck) | **docked** | — |
+
+The mascot is the first docked app and the reason the docked kind
+exists; before this View it was a hardcoded `<MascotLayer />` in
+`Desktop.svelte`, not a registry entry. Its persistent model
+(`web/src/lib/mascot/state.svelte.ts`, localStorage) and sprite cache
+(`sprites.ts`) are module-scoped, so toggling visibility (unmount) and
+restoring (remount) loses no state — this is why `docked` visibility is
+a plain `{#if}` gate rather than a `keepAlive` mechanism.
+
+### App architecture — Designed extension points (documented, not built)
+
+| Extension | Mechanism when built | Trigger |
+|---|---|---|
+| Titlebar actions | `titlebarActions?: Component` on `AppDef`, rendered left of min/max/close | First app that needs one |
+| App-scoped state | `state?: () => Record<string, unknown>` on `AppDef` | First app with cross-mount state that isn't module-scoped |
+| `onRegister` handshake | called with a scoped AppOS capability object | Phase 3 (dynamic install) |
+| Third-party manifests | `AppManifest` JSON + `/api/v1/apps` + permission model | Phase 3 |
+
+Documenting these now prevents the current contract from painting itself
+into a corner; building them now would be speculative. (Lazy-loaded
+components were on this list and shipped in Phase 2 — `component` is now
+`() => Promise<{ default: Component }>` and Vite code-splits each app.)
+
+### App architecture — Status and known issues
+
+Phase 1 (the docked kind, mascot-as-app, the docked visibility store) and
+Phase 2 (lazy component loading — `component` as dynamic-import loader,
+`LazyApp.svelte` for uniform loading state, per-app code-splitting) have
+landed. Open items, by phase:
+
+- **Phase 3 (dynamic install):** the AppOS table above becomes a real
+  injected capability object, not a documentation table; permissions
+  enforced at the store-access boundary; `AppManifest` format +
+  `/api/v1/apps` endpoint + install flow.
+- **Late-registering apps (Phase 3 prerequisite):** `icons.ts:48` builds
+  `appIds` once at module load to validate persisted positions — fine
+  today (all apps are in the static `APPS` array; only their components
+  are lazy), fragile the moment apps register post-load. When dynamic
+  registration lands, revalidate against the live registry, not the
+  import-time snapshot. Likewise `WindowLayer`'s orphan-close `$effect`
+  must be gated on registry-ready so a not-yet-loaded app's persisted
+  window isn't killed on hydration.
+
+The static-cycle trap that bit this View during Phase 1 implementation is
+now resolved by Phase 2's lazy loading — recording it for context:
+
+- `apps.ts` no longer statically imports any page or the mascot (they're
+  all `() => import(...)`), so there's no static edge from `apps.ts` into
+  the mascot/page module graph to cycle through `icons.ts` back to `APPS`.
+  The earlier `LazyMascot.svelte` wrapper (Phase 1's cycle break) was
+  deleted in Phase 2 — the lazy loader in the registry replaces it.
+  `docked.ts` still must not import `APPS` (it's reached from `apps.ts`'s
+  graph via `windows.ts`), and doesn't — defaults are implicit
+  (absent key = visible).

+# 2026-07-20 — Mascot physics/window-interaction audit + improvement plan
+
+**Status:** P0–P2 implemented. P3 partially implemented: the physics-feel
+round shipped (panic-flap cycle with speed scaling + jitter, soft
+terminal-velocity drag, one-bounce impact restitution, landing skid, wall
+ricochet, squash-and-stretch impact spring, air/drag tilt, walk bob,
+impact feather-poof particles, and a new idle-selectable `hop` behavior —
+all in `behavior.ts` + `Mascot.svelte`'s render layer, no new assets).
+The remaining P3 feature ideas (investigate badges, startle-and-flee, a
+"home" spot, round radial menu v2, distinct adult art) stay open.
+
+**Verification of the fixes** (re-ran this document's own instrumented
+tests against the fixed code):
+- Case A (window closes under the mascot): position now falls smoothly
+  over ~2.5–3s with visible x-drift (e.g. bottom went 84→87→104→125→...→912
+  across ~3.3s), instead of jumping straight to the floor in one tick.
+- Case B (window opens over a grounded mascot with a gap beneath it): the
+  mascot stayed pinned to the floor (`bottom: 950`) for 2.6s straight while
+  standing under an open window whose top was far above it — no snap-up at
+  all.
+- Toss momentum: a fast upward-and-sideways release made the sprite keep
+  *rising* for several frames after pointerup before gravity won, then fall
+  with visible deceleration bumps roughly every ~550ms (the flap cycle)
+  instead of a flat monotonic increase.
+- No new console errors; `npm run build` stays clean.
+
+Companion to [plans/2026-07-20-desktop-mascot.md](2026-07-20-desktop-mascot.md)
+(the original scaffolding plan, now implemented) and
+[docs/mascot/README.md](../docs/mascot/README.md) (the MBSE model). This
+document is a post-implementation review: static code read of every file
+under `web/src/lib/mascot/`, plus live testing in the browser (dragging,
+opening/closing/moving windows under the mascot, the radial menu, hatching),
+including two tests instrumented with synthetic pointer events + high-frequency
+position polling to get hard timing data rather than guessing from a laggy
+screenshot loop.
+
+## Summary
+
+The scaffolding (registries, FSM shape, persistence, stimulus bus) is sound
+and matches the original plan's architecture. The actual **physics is where
+it falls short of feeling alive**, for one root cause plus a few smaller
+gaps:
+
+**The mascot doesn't actually fall in the cases that matter most — it
+teleports.** The only code path where a real, animated fall happens is
+"user drags it into the air and lets go." Every other ground-change case
+(a window closes or moves out from under it, a window opens or moves under
+it, it walks off a window's edge) snaps its position instantly, with zero
+animation, because of one specific piece of logic in `Mascot.svelte`. This
+was proven with instrumented timing data, not just read from the source —
+see Finding 1.
+
+## How this was tested
+
+- Read every file in `web/src/lib/mascot/` (behavior.ts, Mascot.svelte,
+  MascotLayer.svelte, state.svelte.ts, stimuli.ts, sprites.ts, render.ts,
+  actions.ts, RadialMenu.svelte, NameDialog.svelte, types.ts).
+- Ran the app (`npm run dev`), hatched a chick, and interactively tested:
+  drag-and-release at various heights, opening/closing/dragging a window
+  under the mascot, the right-click menu (including nested Feed), plain-click
+  pet, and the hatch dialog.
+- For the two timing-sensitive claims below, screenshot-based verification
+  was too slow/laggy to distinguish "instant teleport" from "fast but real
+  fall" — so both were re-verified with a single `javascript_exec` call that
+  dispatches synthetic `PointerEvent`s to drag the mascot precisely onto a
+  window, then clicks that window's close button and polls
+  `canvas.getBoundingClientRect()` every ~65ms for 2+ seconds, all inside one
+  script (no inter-call latency to contaminate the result).
+- `npm run build` passes with no new warnings.
+
+## Findings
+
+### Finding 1 (Critical) — Ground changes teleport the mascot instead of animating a fall or rise
+
+**Root cause**, `web/src/lib/mascot/Mascot.svelte` `tick()` (~lines 111-131):
+every tick, `computeGroundAt(runtime.x)` recomputes the ground line, and if
+the mascot is "grounded" (not already `falling`/`dragged`) and the ground
+changed at all, this runs unconditionally:
+
+```js
+if (runtime.behavior !== 'falling' && runtime.behavior !== 'dragged' &&
+    runtime.y >= prevGroundY - 1 && newGround !== prevGroundY) {
+  runtime.y += newGround - prevGroundY   // instant, any magnitude, either direction
+}
+```
+
+This was meant to make the mascot "ride along" smoothly while a window it's
+standing on is being dragged (and it does do that correctly — verified,
+see below). But it fires for *any* ground change, not just a smooth drag,
+and it runs *before* `stepMascot()`/`behavior.ts` gets a chance to notice
+"I'm now floating" and start a real `falling` behavior — so the FSM's own
+fall-detection in the `wander`/`idle` cases
+(`if (rt.y < groundY(rt) - 1) forceBehavior(rt, 'falling')`) never actually
+fires; by the time it runs, `runtime.y` has already been silently snapped to
+match.
+
+**Proven case A — window closes underneath the mascot (should fall):**
+dragged the mascot onto an open window's title bar via synthetic pointer
+events (landed cleanly: sprite bottom = 96px = window top = 96px), then
+clicked the window's close button and polled position every 65ms:
+
+| t (ms) | sprite bottom (px) |
+|---|---|
+| 0 (before close) | 96 |
+| 67 | **950** (floor) |
+| 132 – 2000 | 950 (unchanged) |
+
+The coded physics (gravity 1400 px/s², capped at 320 px/s) would take
+**~2.8 seconds** to fall 854px. It happened in **under 67ms** — an instant
+snap, not a fall. No `falling`/`land` animation plays.
+
+**Proven case B — window opens/overlaps underneath a grounded mascot
+(should NOT rise, or should climb visibly):** with the mascot standing on
+the empty desktop floor (bottom = 950px), opened the Tasks window (which
+renders top=71px, bottom=751px at that position — its underside never
+reaches the floor, leaving a ~200px gap). Within 150ms, the mascot's sprite
+bottom was already **71px** — snapped straight up onto the new window's
+title bar, 880px in under 150ms, despite the window's bottom edge (751px)
+never actually touching the mascot's original position. `computeGroundAt()`
+has no check that the candidate window is anywhere near the mascot's
+*current* position — it just returns the topmost window overlapping the
+mascot's x column, full stop, so any window opening/moving/resizing
+anywhere in that column instantly relocates the mascot to its top edge, no
+matter the vertical distance.
+
+**What does work correctly:** dragging an already-mascot-bearing window
+smoothly (title-bar drag, not open/close) — the ride-along correctly
+translates the mascot's y by the same delta as the window moves, so it
+visually "stands" on the window through the drag. Also, manual drag-and-drop
+of the mascot itself (pick it up, release above ground) *does* enter a real,
+animated `falling` → `land` → `idle` sequence, because that path is driven
+entirely by `releaseFromDrag()` from the pointer handler, which isn't
+touched by the tick-level snap.
+
+**Fix direction:** `computeGroundAt` needs to return the highest surface
+*at or below* the mascot's current `y* (a downward raycast from the current
+position), not the global topmost window in the column. Separately, the
+tick-level "ride along" needs to distinguish *small, continuous* deltas
+(the window carrying the mascot while being dragged — legitimate instant
+translation) from *large or discontinuous* ones (a window appearing,
+disappearing, or the mascot walking off an edge — should hand off to
+`forceBehavior(rt, 'falling')` for a downward change, and a short new
+`rising`/hop transition for an upward one, not a silent teleport in either
+direction).
+
+### Finding 2 (Critical) — the one real fall is a flat, straight drop; this is the user's specific complaint
+
+Even in the one path that *does* animate (manual drag-release), the fall
+itself has no attempt at flight:
+
+- `falling.enter()` in `behavior.ts` hard-sets `rt.vx = 0` — zero horizontal
+  drift, ever.
+- `fall-flutter`'s animation is just `jump.png` on a loop
+  (`sprites.ts`) — the *name* says flutter, the physics is a monotonic
+  `vy = min(TERMINAL_VY, vy + GRAVITY*dt)` capped fall, no oscillation, no
+  upward impulses.
+- There's an already-defined, already-loaded `flap` animation
+  (`jump.png` again, distinct `AnimName`) that **no behavior ever
+  references** — it's dead weight in the registry right now.
+
+This is exactly the "not always fall directly, try to fly a little" ask.
+
+### Finding 3 (Critical) — no toss/throw momentum on release
+
+The original plan called for tracking recent pointer deltas during a drag
+and using them to give the release a real velocity (a toss/arc). The
+shipped `onPointerUp`/`onPointerMove` in `Mascot.svelte` track no pointer
+history at all — releasing while moving fast imparts nothing; the mascot
+just drops straight down from wherever the pointer let go, same as a slow
+release.
+
+### Finding 4 (Moderate) — sprite/name/bubble clip off-screen near the top edge
+
+The mascot's canvas is 20×28 logical px (extra headroom above the sprite
+for the name label and reaction bubble), positioned bottom-anchored at
+`runtime.y`. When the ground is near the top of the viewport (e.g.
+standing on a window whose title bar sits close to `y=0`, which is common
+for a freshly-opened window), the canvas — and the name label, positioned
+even further above it — render partially or fully off-screen.
+Reproduced directly: standing on a window with top=32px clipped the
+sprite from `y=-52` to `y=32`, more than half invisible above the browser
+viewport.
+
+### Finding 5 (Minor) — `interruptsSleep` is defined but never read
+
+`stimuli.ts`'s `ReactionDef.interruptsSleep` (set `true` only on `alarmed`)
+documents an intended rule ("sleep is broken only by reactions that opt
+in"), but nothing in `MascotLayer.svelte`'s dispatch callback or
+`behavior.ts` ever reads it — every reaction unconditionally calls
+`forceBehavior(runtime, 'react', ...)` regardless of current behavior.
+Practically, this also means a reaction can visually interrupt an active
+**drag** (the sprite briefly shows a reaction animation mid-drag, though
+position tracking is unaffected since that's driven separately by the
+pointer handler) — the documented "`dragged` always wins" rule isn't
+enforced either.
+
+### Finding 6 (Cosmetic / scope gap) — radial menu isn't round
+
+The implementing agent deviated from the original "round, Sims-style"
+requirement to a vertical rounded-button column (documented in the plan's
+deviation note — the polar ring layout hid labels). It works correctly,
+including nesting, but it's a direct miss against what was asked for. Worth
+a deliberate decision: keep the readable column, or revisit a true ring
+with icon-only buttons + a hover/center text readout.
+
+### Finding 7 (Minor) — first-hatch naming can be dismissed with no easy way back
+
+`NameDialog`'s Escape handler always calls `onCancel`, which just closes it
+— on the very first hatch prompt (no `Cancel` button is shown in `hatch`
+mode, but Escape still works via the window-level listener), a user who
+hits Escape is left with an unnamed, un-hatched egg and no obvious way to
+reopen the dialog short of reloading or finding the Debug → Force hatch
+menu action.
+
+## Improvement plan
+
+Ordered by priority; 1–3 directly address the user's stated complaints.
+
+### P0 — Fix the ground-detection/teleport bug (Finding 1)
+
+1. Change `computeGroundAt(x)` to only consider a window a ground candidate
+   if its top edge is **at or below** the mascot's current `y` (plus a
+   small tolerance for the "about to land on it" case) — i.e. the nearest
+   surface *underneath*, not the global topmost overlapping window.
+2. Replace the unconditional `tick()`-level position snap with a threshold
+   check: deltas under ~4px/tick (a window being smoothly dragged with the
+   mascot riding it) still translate instantly; anything larger routes
+   through `forceBehavior(rt, 'falling')` (ground dropped) or a new short
+   `rising` behavior (ground rose — a quick hop/flutter-up, not a snap).
+3. This also fixes the FSM's existing (currently unreachable) `wander`/`idle`
+   fall-detection — once the snap isn't preempting it, that code path
+   should work as originally intended.
+
+### P1 — Make falling actually look like an attempt at flight (Findings 2 & 3)
+
+4. Wire the unused `flap` animation into `falling`: instead of one
+   continuous `fall-flutter` loop, alternate short `flap` bursts (each
+   burst applies a brief small negative `vy` impulse — a wing-beat that
+   measurably slows the descent for a few frames) with `fall-flutter` glide
+   segments. Net effect: still descends, but in a scalloped, fluttering
+   arc rather than a flat monotonic line — reads as "trying to fly, not
+   quite making it" rather than "dropped like a rock."
+5. Add a small horizontal drift during `falling` (e.g. a slow sine wobble
+   or a fraction of the pre-release pointer velocity — see next point) so
+   the fall isn't perfectly vertical either.
+6. Track a short rolling history of pointer positions during `dragged`
+   (last ~100ms of `onPointerMove` samples is enough) and derive a release
+   velocity from it in `onPointerUp`; feed that into `falling`'s initial
+   `vx`/`vy` instead of hard-zeroing them, so a fast toss actually arcs.
+
+### P2 — Cosmetic/correctness cleanups (Findings 4, 5, 7)
+
+7. Clamp the sprite's screen-space draw position (or reserve top margin on
+   the surface) so the canvas/name/bubble never render above `y=0`,
+   independent of where the logical ground sits.
+8. Either wire `interruptsSleep`/a drag-guard into the reaction dispatch
+   path in `MascotLayer.svelte` (skip forcing `react` while
+   `runtime.behavior === 'dragged'`, and gate sleep-interruption on the
+   flag as documented), or remove the field if the current
+   always-interrupts behavior is actually preferred — right now it's an
+   unenforced contract, which is worse than either explicit choice.
+9. On first hatch, prevent the naming dialog from being fully dismissed
+   without a name (or make it trivially reopenable — e.g. clicking the
+   still-unnamed egg reopens it) rather than requiring a reload/debug
+   menu to recover.
+
+### P3 — Ideas worth considering ("cool stuff")
+
+Not committed, listed for discussion:
+
+- **Investigate badges**: have the mascot occasionally walk toward a
+  desktop icon that currently has an unread badge (Signals, Operations)
+  and peck at it curiously — a very literal, delightful expression of
+  "aware of its environment" using icon positions already in
+  `stores/icons.ts`.
+- **Startle-and-flee on alarm**: instead of a static `react-alarm` frame,
+  have the `alarmed` reaction actually scurry the mascot a short distance
+  (reuse `wander`-style motion) before settling, more visceral than a
+  still reaction sprite.
+- **A "home" spot**: remember a preferred idle location (e.g. near its
+  hatch point or a favorite window) and occasionally wander back to it,
+  giving its roaming a sense of place rather than pure randomness.
+- **True round radial menu v2**: revisit Finding 6 with icon-only buttons
+  on an actual ring and a text label in a tooltip/center readout on
+  hover/focus — closer to the original ask while keeping labels legible
+  (the problem the first attempt hit).
+- **Distinct adult sprite** (already flagged as deferred polish in the
+  original plan's deviation note) — currently chick and adult share art.
+
+## Verification (once fixed)
+
+- Re-run this document's two instrumented tests (drag-onto-window-then-close;
+  open-window-over-grounded-mascot) and confirm the position samples show a
+  smooth multi-frame transition instead of a single-tick jump.
+- Manually: drag the mascot up and release with a fast flick — confirm it
+  arcs/drifts rather than dropping straight down, and that `flap` frames
+  visibly appear during the descent.
+- Stand the mascot on a window, drag that window so its title bar approaches
+  `y=0` — confirm the sprite/name/bubble stay on-screen.
+- Trigger a reaction (e.g. force an `eureka`) while mid-drag — confirm the
+  sprite keeps showing the `dragged` animation, not the reaction, until
+  released (if Finding 5 is fixed by enforcing the guard).
+- `npm run build` stays clean.

+  was diagnosed via DB + live check; fix (pct set 2→4 GiB) was applied;
+  test backup verified 245 transfers / 4 min / no OOM.
+
+## What didn't
+
+### 1. The rclone objective took three sessions to close (blocker)
+Same operator goal — "rclone backup is broken" — spawned `a51e2086`
+(partial), `8acea2e3` (partial), `cb8c8a4a` (success), and finally
+`fefa4fa3` (success). The first three were the agent trying to inspect
+the live systemd state and bouncing off the classifier:
+
+- `8acea2e3`: `pct exec 132 systemctl status rclone-backup.timer`
+  flagged `config_mutation` — sat in approval limbo until the user moved
+  on.
+- `a51e2086`: `curl http://192.168.8.214:5572/rc/...` (read-only RC API)
+  flagged `config_mutation`. The agent kept reframing; user said "lets
+  just close this session."
+- `cb8c8a4a`: same goal, eventually succeeded — but only after the agent
+  found a different path.
+- `fefa4fa3`: only when the user escalated to "fix it so the backup
+  works" did the agent pivot to the actual root cause (memory).
+
+This is the single biggest friction point in the batch.
+
+### 2. Classifier overreach on read-only `pct exec` / `curl` (blocker)
+The preflight classifier in `internal/policy` matches command substrings
+(`pct exec`, `curl`, `dd`, etc.) without parsing the actual command. A
+read-only `systemctl status` becomes `config_mutation`. The agent has
+no tool to ask "classify this command before I send it" — it just keeps
+retrying with cosmetic changes until the user bails.
+
+### 3. `update_plan_step` is the second-largest tool bucket (cosmetic → friction)
+Across 10 sessions: `run` ~199, `update_plan_step` ~57. That's ~22% of
+all tool calls spent on bookkeeping. For a 2-message greeting session
+(`8c76bb3a`) the agent still called `update_plan_step` ×4 plus
+`propose_plan`. The scaffolding is louder than the work.
+
+### 4. `pending_approvals` doesn't match reality (cosmetic, but misleading)
+`a51e2086` summary literally says *"Both commands are queued"* — yet
+`pending_approvals=0`. The field is `hasPendingApprovals`
+(`store.go:962`) which only counts executions currently in
+`pending_approval` state; once they're cancelled/expired it drops to 0
+even though the session was *blocked* by approvals. As an audit signal
+it lies. A session can be `outcome=partial` because of approval
+friction without `pending_approvals` ever being non-zero at review time.
+
+### 5. Title is still the first sentence of the first assistant message (cosmetic)
+`"Assent window is open — executing the plan\n\nMemory bumped:
+4294967296..."` is not a useful label. Same complaint applies to
+`8c76bb3a` ("Hey! 👋 Nomos here, running on mac-mini:8092...") and
+`95fdd322` ("This is a pure-DB Q&A — no `run` calls needed..."). The
+list view ends up being unreadable without opening each row.
+
+### 6. Goal field empty on one session (`438ec8bd`) (cosmetic)
+`set_goal` was never called for the bare greeting. Minor, but it means
+the session is unsearchable by goal text.
+
+---
+
+## Ease of getting session details
+
+I had to write Python+curl to audit 10 sessions. The pain points:
+
+1. **Two endpoints must be merged by hand.** `/sessions` returns
+   metadata (`title`, `goal`, `outcome`, `summary`, `status`,
+   `pending_approvals`, timestamps) but **no message/tool counts**.
+   `/sessions/{id}` returns **only** `session_id` + `messages` — no
+   metadata at all. `cmd/nomos/eval/main.go:302-303` already carries a
+   comment complaining about this ("only session_id + messages"). Any
+   consumer has to do the same join I did.
+2. **No aggregates on the list endpoint.** `message_count`,
+   `tool_call_count`, `top_tools`, `duration` — all require fetching
+   every session's full transcript and walking the message tree. For
+   10 sessions that's 10 extra HTTP round trips and ~600 KB of JSON
+   parsed client-side. For a fleet audit at scale it's quadratic.
+3. **No filtering or pagination on `/sessions`.** It returns every
+   session in one shot. The skill's own script does `.sessions[:5]` and
+   `.sessions[:10]` client-side.
+4. **Tool calls are nested two levels deep**
+   (`messages[].content.tool_calls[].name`) with `content` stored as
+   `json.RawMessage`. The jq path requires `?.` everywhere. A flat
+   `/sessions/{id}/tool_calls` view would be far easier to analyze.
+5. **No `/sessions?outcome=partial` or `?entity_id=...` filter.**
+   Finding "show me every session that touched `lxc:rclone` and didn't
+   succeed" requires the full scan.
+6. **`title` is the raw first assistant text.** Useless for skimming a
+   list — you have to open each row to know what it was.
+7. **No `closed_at` / `outcome_set_at`.** `last_active_at` is the
+   closest proxy but it conflates "agent is still working" with
+   "operator just opened the transcript." Duration can only be
+   computed as `last_active - created`, which is wrong for reopened
+   sessions (`a51e2086` shows "5647 min" = 4 days because the user
+   re-opened it on 2026-07-19 to close it).
+8. **No "blocker reason" field.** When `outcome=partial`, the *why* is
+   buried in the last assistant text. A structured
+   `blocker: "approval_timeout"` / `blocker: "classifier_overreach"` /
+   `blocker: "user_abandoned"` would make trend analysis trivial.
+
+---
+
+## Improvement plan
+
+### P0 — Blockers ✅
+
+1. ✅ **Stop the classifier from flagging read-only `pct exec` / `curl` as
+   `config_mutation`.** In `internal/policy`, parse the command (not
+   just substring-match) before assigning risk class. Concretely:
+   `pct exec <id> -- <cmd>` should be classified by *the inner command*,
+   not the wrapper. `curl <url>` without `-X POST` / `-d` /
+   `--upload-file` is read-only. This single change would have
+   collapsed sessions #1, #3, #6, #10 into a handful of tool calls each
+   and avoided three duplicate rclone sessions.
+   - Done: `internal/policy/command.go` now unwraps `pct exec`, `qm
+     guest exec`, `bash -c`, `sh -c`, `sudo`, and env-var assignments
+     before classification. Curl GET (the default) without POST/data/
+     upload/output flags is now read-only. Output redirection (`>`/
+     `>>`) disqualifies the read-only path. Tests in
+     `internal/policy/command_test.go` cover the new behaviors.
+
+2. ✅ **Add a command-scoped `preflight` MCP tool.** The existing `preflight`
+   in AGENTS.md §3 is entity/service-scoped, not command-scoped. The
+   agent today has to keep reframing and re-submitting to discover what
+   the classifier will accept. A command preflight returns
+   `{risk_class, reason}` synchronously so the agent can decide whether
+   to submit, rephrase, or surface to the operator.
+   - Done: new `classify_command` MCP tool in `internal/mcp/tools.go`
+     that takes `command` + optional `declared_risk` and returns the
+     exact risk class that `run` would assign. Documented in
+     `nomos/SOUL.md` with explicit guidance to pre-classify before
+     `run` when the classification is uncertain — "Do NOT submit a `run`,
+     get it queued for approval, and then retry with cosmetic variations."
+
+### P1 — Friction ✅
+
+3. ✅ **De-dupe sessions for the same entity + problem.** When a session
+   is `outcome=partial` against an entity and a new session is created
+   within 24h with a similar goal, surface the prior session to the
+   agent at `set_goal` time. Three rclone sessions exist because each
+   new session started from scratch.
+   - Done: `cmd/nomos/store.go` gained `recentPartialSessions(ctx,
+     excludeSessionID, since)`; the `set_goal` handler in
+     `cmd/nomos/tasks.go` calls it and includes up to 5 prior partial/
+     failed sessions (with goal + summary) in the response. The agent
+     is told to search_knowledge or read the prior transcript before
+     re-planning.
+
+4. ✅ **Quiet the `update_plan_step` scaffolding.** Either (a) make the
+   agent not call it for single-step sessions (greeting/health-check),
+   or (b) stop persisting it as a message — keep it only in a
+   `plan_steps` table that the UI hydrates from `/sessions/{id}/plan`
+   (which already exists). It currently inflates transcript size and
+   tool-call counts.
+   - Done: `completeTask` in `cmd/nomos/store.go` now auto-closes any
+     in-flight plan steps (pending/running → done on success, →
+     skipped on partial/failure). SOUL.md §6 documents the new pattern:
+     "for one-step plans ... propose_plan → answer → complete_task,
+     skipping the per-step running→done dance entirely."
+
+5. ✅ **Add `blocker` and `closed_at` to the `session` struct.** Set
+   `blocker` automatically when `outcome=partial`/`failed`: scan the
+   last assistant message for signatures ("queued for approval",
+   "cancel", "close this session"). Surface in `/sessions` list so
+   trends are queryable.
+   - Done: migration `021_session_blocker_and_closed_at.up.sql` adds the
+     two columns + backfills `closed_at` for existing terminal sessions
+     + adds a partial-index on `closed_at DESC WHERE status IN
+     ('done','failed')`. `cmd/nomos/store.go` `completeTask` sets
+     `closed_at = now()` and derives `blocker` from the last assistant
+     message via `deriveBlocker`. The blocker patterns table covers
+     approval_timeout, user_abandoned, classifier_overreach,
+     model_refusal, model_empty_response, missing_knowledge,
+     missing_capability, tool_error.
+
+### P2 — Cosmetic / API ergonomics ✅
+
+6. ✅ **Add aggregates to `/sessions` list.** `message_count`,
+   `tool_call_count`, `duration_seconds`. Computed server-side at list
+   time (single SQL pass with LEFT JOINs to `agent_messages` and
+   `agent_activity`). Eliminates the N+1 transcript fetch I had to do.
+   - Done: `session` struct in `cmd/nomos/store.go` carries the three
+     new fields; `listSessionsFiltered`, `getSession`, and
+     `recentPartialSessions` all populate them.
+
+7. ✅ **Single endpoint that returns both metadata and messages.** Either
+   enrich `/sessions/{id}` with the full `session` struct, or add
+   `?include=messages` on the list endpoint. The split-persistence is a
+   leaky abstraction called out in `eval/main.go:302-303`.
+   - Done: `GET /sessions/{id}` in `cmd/nomos/main.go` now returns
+     `{session_id, session, messages}` — the `session` field carries
+     the full metadata (title, goal, outcome, summary, blocker,
+     pending_approvals, message_count, tool_call_count, etc.). The
+     `messages` field is unchanged. Clients that only read `messages`
+     keep working.
+
+8. ✅ **Filtering & pagination on `/sessions`.** `?outcome=partial&entity_id=...&since=...&limit=20&cursor=...`.
+   Removes the "fetch everything, filter client-side" pattern in the
+   skill's own script.
+   - Done: `cmd/nomos/main.go` `handleSessionsList` parses
+     `outcome`/`status`/`entity_id`/`blocker`/`since`/`cursor`/`limit`
+     query params. `listFilter` + `listSessionsFiltered` in
+     `cmd/nomos/store.go` build a dynamic WHERE + LIMIT. `since`
+     accepts both RFC3339 timestamps and Go durations ("24h", "7d" →
+     parsed as hours). The response includes `next_cursor` for paging.
+
+9. ✅ **Auto-title from `goal` (when set), not from the first assistant
+   text.** Fall back to the assistant text only if no goal. The greeting
+   session `438ec8bd` has `goal=""` and a useless title; `fefa4fa3` has
+   goal "Fix the rclone backup so it completes successfully instead of
+   OOM-killing" — that's the right title.
+   - Done: `setGoal` in `cmd/nomos/store.go` now sets
+     `title = goal` on the same UPDATE that sets the goal. The
+     title-from-first-assistant-text path in `cmd/nomos/main.go`
+     preserves the goal title when one exists (falls back to
+     `truncate(finalText, 80)` only when no goal is set). Truncates the
+     goal title to 120 chars.
+
+10. ✅ **Add `/sessions/{id}/tool_calls` flat view.** Returns
+    `[{id, name, args, result, error, type, message_id, role, seq,
+    created_at}]` without the message-shell nesting. Makes jq one-liners
+    and trend scripts trivial.
+    - Done: new route in `cmd/nomos/main.go` `handleSessionDetail`;
+    `getSessionToolCalls` in `cmd/nomos/store.go` walks messages and
+    flattens `tool_calls[]` into a chronological flat list. Each
+    tool_use/tool_result pair is emitted as two rows sharing an id
+    (preserving the persisted shape) — clients that want the merged
+    shape can group by ID.
+
+---
+
+## Suggested order
+
+If only two land: **P0.1** (parse the inner command for `pct exec` /
+`curl` classification) and **P2.6** (aggregates on `/sessions`). The
+first eliminates the most visible user-facing friction in this batch
+(three duplicate rclone sessions); the second makes future audits like
+this one a single `curl | jq` instead of a Python script.
+
+---
+

+# 2026-07-21 Chat window full polish
+
+## Context
+
+After fixing the streaming reactivity bug and merging the double thinking
+indicator, the chat window still has structural UX gaps: no streaming
+affordance while text flows, tools never rendered inline, no timestamps,
+no code copy, cross-session store leaks in floating windows, and minor
+overflow/style holes.
+
+## Decisions
+
+| Question | Answer |
+|---|---|
+| Streaming feel | Typing cursor (blinking ▍) + inline indicator |
+| Tool calls | Expandable inline tool cards in message flow |
+| Empty state | Minimal — title + tagline, no suggestions |
+| Dark theme | Keep neutral (skip) |
+| Scope | Full polish — everything |
+
+## Changes
+
+### P0.1 Streaming cursor
+- **File:** `web/src/lib/components/ChatThread.svelte`
+- Add a blinking block-cursor (▍) appended after rendered markdown when
+  `streaming` is true and the last assistant message has text.
+- Keep the inline spinner + activity label for the empty-text state.
+- CSS: `@keyframes` blink, `0.8s` cycle, `primary` color, `inline-block`.
+
+### P0.2 Tool call cards
+- **New:** `web/src/lib/components/ToolCallCard.svelte`
+- **Modify:** `ChatThread.svelte`
+- Render `msg.tools` as collapsible cards between text blocks.
+- Collapsed: tool icon + name + status (running/done/error).
+- Expanded: pretty-printed args + result/error in `pre` blocks.
+- Keep it minimal — one card per tool call, no grouping.
+- Wire `pendingApprovals` from `msg.pendingApprovals` as approval
+  cards below the tool list.
+
+### P1.3 Timestamps + role labels
+- **Modify:** `ChatThread.svelte`, `ChatMessage` interface
+- Add `created_at?: string` to `ChatMessage` (populated from `Message.created_at`).
+- Show small muted timestamp (HH:MM) on hover or inline next to role label.
+- Add tiny "You" / "Nomos" labels above bubbles (subtle, muted).
+
+### P1.4 Code copy button
+- **Modify:** `ChatThread.svelte` prose styles
+- Wrap `pre` blocks in a relative container; add a copy button
+  (clipboard icon, top-right, opacity-0 → visible on hover).
+- Use `navigator.clipboard.writeText`.
+
+### P1.5 Table overflow + user bubble fix
+- **Modify:** `ChatThread.svelte` prose styles
+- Wrap tables in `overflow-x-auto` container.
+- Add `overflow-wrap: break-word` to user bubbles.
+
+### P2.6 Cross-session fixes
+- **Modify:** `web/src/lib/stores/chat.ts`, `SessionChatWindow.svelte`
+- `chatErrors`: keep global for now (session-scoped errors are rare
+  and the dismiss is manual anyway).
+- `activityLog`: **per-session** — the store in `activity.ts` already
+  derives from messages; make `computeActivityLog` session-scoped
+  so each floating window only sees its own activity.
+
+### P2.7 Min window size
+- **Modify:** `web/src/lib/stores/windows.ts` (openTaskWindow)
+- Add `minWidth: 600, minHeight: 400` to chat window open call.
+
+### P2.8 Cleanup
+- Delete `web/src/lib/components/AgentIndicator.svelte` (dead code).
+- Update stale comments in `SessionChatWindow.svelte` and
+  `TaskContextPanel.svelte` that reference a "main Chat page."
+- Fix prose heading hierarchy: h1 = 1.15em, h2 = 1.1em, h3 = 1.05em.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `npx eslint` on all changed files
+- `go vet ./cmd/nomos/...`
+- `go build -o /dev/null ./cmd/nomos/...`

+# Frontend as OS + Apps: architecture audit & refactor plan
+
+> **Status:** Planned
+> **Stakeholders:** Operator, Nomos
+> **Confidence:** Verified (direct code audit against `web/src/` as of 2026-07-21)
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+The Oikos frontend is already built on an implicit OS + Apps metaphor — a
+desktop surface, floating windows, a taskbar, and a registry of
+independently-rendered apps. This plan makes that metaphor **explicit**,
+strengthens the contracts between Base OS and Apps, refactors the mascot
+into a proper App, and lays out the extensibility path for dynamic app
+installation without touching shell code.
+
+The current codebase is remarkably close. The audit found one structural
+gap (mascot is hardcoded into the shell, not a registry App) and three
+contract weaknesses (positional content resolution, icon store assumes a
+static registry, no stable OS-service contract for Apps). Fixing them
+requires no architectural rewrite — the bones are correct.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Audit: what we have today
+
+### 1.1 The implicit OS layer (exists, undocumented)
+
+| Service | File | Role |
+|---------|------|------|
+| **Window Manager** | `lib/stores/windows.ts:19-31` | wmkit manager + desktop + persist. Single-instance, global. |
+| **Desktop Surface** | `components/desktop-shell/Desktop.svelte` | Full-viewport shell: background, icons, launcher, windows, mascot, taskbar. |
+| **Window Layer** | `components/desktop-shell/WindowLayer.svelte` | Content resolver: maps window ID → component. z-40. |
+| **Taskbar** | `components/desktop-shell/Taskbar.svelte` | Window buttons + tray. Renders from `wmState.order`. |
+| **Icon Grid** | `lib/stores/icons.ts` | Column/row grid, drag-to-reorder, localStorage persistence. |
+| **Task Launcher** | `components/desktop-shell/TaskLauncher.svelte` | Centered text input → new task window. |
+| **Auth Gate** | `App.svelte` | Config screen vs. Desktop. Token check, OIDC init, context/SSE subscribe. |
+| **Session Windows** | `components/SessionChatWindow.svelte` | Per-session chat window, splitpanes layout. |
+| **New Task Window** | `components/desktop-shell/NewTaskChat.svelte` | Singleton compose window. |
+| **Entity Windows** | `components/EntityDetailContent.svelte` | Entity detail (bare slug window IDs). |
+| **Legacy Hash Routes** | `App.svelte:17-39` | Backward compat for old `#/kb`, `#/entity/<slug>` bookmarks. |
+
+The shell has **no hardcoded app list** — `Desktop.svelte:90` reads `APPS`
+from the registry, `WindowLayer.svelte:36-37` resolves app windows through
+`appById`, `Taskbar.svelte:32` resolves icons the same way. Adding an app
+is one entry in `apps.ts`.
+
+### 1.2 The App Registry (exists, nearly complete)
+
+**File:** `lib/apps.ts` (130 lines)
+**Interface:** `AppDef` — id, title, icon (Lucide Component), component
+(Svelte Component), width, height, minWidth, minHeight, optional badge
+function.
+**Window namespacing:** `app:<id>` (`apps.ts:122`) — distinct from
+`session:<id>`, `new-task`, and bare entity slugs.
+
+**Current apps (7):**
+
+| ID | Page Component | Badge? |
+|----|---------------|--------|
+| `tasks` | `pages/Overview.svelte` | — |
+| `kb` | `pages/KnowledgeBase.svelte` | — |
+| `ops` | `pages/Ops.svelte` | approvals_pending |
+| `signals` | `pages/Signals.svelte` | open signal count |
+| `knowledge` | `pages/Knowledge.svelte` | — |
+| `learning` | `pages/Learning.svelte` | — |
+| `settings` | `pages/Settings.svelte` | — |
+
+**What works:**
+
+- Data-driven. One array → three surfaces auto-render.
+- Namespaced window IDs prevent collisions with session/entity windows.
+- Single-instance enforcement (double-click focuses, never duplicates).
+- Badge system: pure function over `DashboardSummary`, consumed by icon +
+  taskbar.
+- Tested (`apps.test.ts`): unique IDs, positive sizes, `appById` index,
+  round-trips.
+- Orphan cleanup: `WindowLayer.svelte:25-30` closes persisted windows whose
+  app was removed from the registry.
+
+**What's missing from the AppDef contract:**
+
+1. **No stable OS-service surface.** Apps reach into the OS by importing
+   arbitrary `$lib` modules (`openEntityWindow` from `windows.ts`,
+   `summary` from `context.ts`). It works because apps are compiled in, but
+   there is no documented boundary between "stable OS API an App may use"
+   and "shell internals that happen to be exported." Phase 3 (installed
+   third-party apps) needs that boundary to exist first.
+2. **No docked/overlay app kind.** An app that renders *on* the desktop
+   (above windows, no titlebar, no window at all) has no representation in
+   the contract — which is exactly why the mascot is hardcoded.
+
+### 1.3 The Mascot: embedded, not an app
+
+**Files:** `lib/mascot/` (12 files, ~2.8k lines)
+**Integration:** `Desktop.svelte:105` — hardcoded `<MascotLayer />` at z-45,
+after WindowLayer and before Taskbar.
+
+**Key facts that shape the refactor (verified):**
+
+- `MascotLayer.svelte` takes **no props**. It creates the `MascotRuntime`
+  per mount, seeds position from the persisted model, and attaches the
+  stimulus bus itself (`MascotLayer.svelte:38-61`, comment at line 6-7).
+- The persistent model (stage, name, happiness, xp, **lastPos**) is
+  module-scoped in `state.svelte.ts` and survives unmount/remount.
+- The sprite `Image` cache is module-scoped in `sprites.ts` — remounts do
+  not re-fetch the 19 PNG sheets.
+- The stimulus bus subscribes to global stores (`focusedSessionId` from
+  `windows.ts`, per-session factories from `chat.ts`/`workspace.ts`) — no
+  dependency on how MascotLayer is mounted.
+
+**Consequence:** hiding the mascot = `{#if visible}<MascotLayer />{/if}`.
+State, sprites, and position all restore naturally. No `keepAlive`
+machinery is needed.
+
+### 1.4 Three contract weaknesses
+
+#### Weakness 1: Positional content resolution
+
+`WindowLayer.svelte:70-79` resolves content by checking ID patterns in a
+hardcoded order:
+
+```svelte
+{#if id.startsWith(SESSION_PREFIX)}
+  <SessionChatWindow ... />
+{:else if id === NEW_TASK_WINDOW_ID}
+  <NewTaskChat />
+{:else if app}
+  <app.component />
+{:else}
+  <EntityDetailContent ... />
+{/if}
+```
+
+A new window category must be inserted at the right position in this chain.
+Works today because prefixes are mutually exclusive by construction, but
+it's a landmine: add `'lxc:'` container consoles or `'log:'` viewers and
+you're editing shell internals.
+
+#### Weakness 2: Icon store snapshots the registry at module load
+
+`icons.ts:23` builds default positions from `APPS`, and `icons.ts:48`
+freezes an `appIds` set used to filter persisted positions in `load()`.
+Both evaluate **once at import time**. A late-registering app (lazy load,
+Phase 2+) would have its persisted position silently dropped by the
+`load()` filter — the merge-over-defaults logic only helps apps that were
+already in `APPS` when the module first evaluated.
+
+#### Weakness 3: Window chrome is fully shell-owned, with no extension point
+
+Every window gets the same titlebar (`WindowLayer.svelte:40-67`): drag
+handle, title, minimize/maximize/close. Correct default — apps should not
+draw their own chrome — but there is no sanctioned way for an app to
+contribute a titlebar affordance (e.g. Tasks might want an inline "New
+task" button). **Decision: document as a designed extension point, defer
+implementation until an app actually needs it** (see §2.5). Not a Phase 1
+deliverable.

+```
+
+### 2.2 App kinds
+
+Two kinds, distinguished by one flag:
+
+| Kind | Window | Titlebar | Taskbar button | Opened by |
+|------|--------|----------|----------------|-----------|
+| **Windowed** (default) | wmkit floating window | Yes | Yes (automatic) | `openAppWindow(id)` → `wm.open()` |
+| **Docked** (`docked: true`) | None — renders on the Docked Layer | No | No | `openAppWindow(id)` → toggles visibility |
+
+Docked apps are **not** wmkit citizens. They render in a dedicated layer
+above the window layer, their visibility is a persisted boolean, and
+clicking their desktop icon toggles show/hide. They never appear in the
+taskbar because they never enter `wmState.order`.
+
+### 2.3 The App contract
+
+```typescript
+interface AppDef {
+  // Identity (required)
+  id: string                    // unique; window IDs are "app:<id>"
+  title: string                 // desktop icon label + window titlebar
+  icon: Component               // Lucide icon (desktop icon + taskbar)
+  component: Component          // Svelte component; receives NO props
+
+  // Kind
+  docked?: boolean              // true = Docked Layer app, no window (default false)
+
+  // Window geometry — required for windowed apps, forbidden for docked apps
+  width?: number
+  height?: number
+  minWidth?: number
+  minHeight?: number
+
+  // Behavior (all optional)
+  badge?: (summary: DashboardSummary | null) => number
+  noIcon?: boolean              // true = registered but no desktop icon
+}
+```
+
+**Validation rules** (enforced by `apps.test.ts`, not runtime checks):
+
+- `id` unique, non-empty.
+- Windowed apps: `width`/`height` present and positive.
+- Docked apps: `width`/`height` absent (geometry is meaningless without a
+  window).
+- Every app has an icon component (even `noIcon` apps — the taskbar and
+  future surfaces need it).
+
+**Design decisions, and why:**
+
+- **No `keepAlive`.** Module-scoped state (mascot model, sprite cache)
+  already survives unmount. If a future app needs close-to-hide semantics,
+  that's a wmkit feature request, not an AppDef field.
+- **No `noTaskbar`.** Docked apps never reach the taskbar; windowed apps
+  always should. A windowed app with no taskbar button is an orphan the
+  operator can't find.
+- **No lifecycle hooks in the contract.** Svelte's own `onMount`/`onDestroy`
+  already fire on window open/close. A shell-level `onRegister` is only
+  meaningful once apps register dynamically — deferred to Phase 3, where
+  it becomes the permission handshake.
+- **Apps receive no props.** The component is the app. It imports OS
+  services (§2.4) directly. This keeps the shell→app edge one-way and
+  trivially mockable.
+
+### 2.4 The OS-service surface (AppOS)
+
+The stable set of `$lib` exports an App may import. Everything else in
+`$lib` is shell-internal and may change without notice. This is a
+**documentation contract** today (apps are compiled in); it becomes an
+**enforced sandbox boundary** in Phase 3.
+
+| Service | Import | Stability |
+|---------|--------|-----------|
+| Open an app window | `openAppWindow(id)` from `$lib/stores/windows` | Stable |
+| Open an entity window | `openEntityWindow(slug)` from `$lib/stores/windows` | Stable |
+| Open a task window | `openTaskWindow(sessionId, title)` from `$lib/stores/windows` | Stable |
+| Dashboard summary | `summary`, `subscribeContext` from `$lib/stores/context` | Stable |
+| Live events | `subscribeEvents` from `$lib/stores/events` | Stable |
+| Per-session chat | `chatFor(sessionId)` from `$lib/stores/chat` | Stable |
+| Per-session workspace | `workspaceFor(sessionId)` from `$lib/stores/workspace` | Stable |
+| REST API | `$lib/api` functions | Stable (generated from OpenAPI) |
+| UI primitives | `$lib/components/ui/*` | Stable |
+| Theme | `getTheme`, `setTheme` from `$lib/stores/theme.svelte` | Stable |
+
+### 2.5 Content resolution — fixed
+
+Replace the positional `if/else` chain with a prefix → component map owned
+by the shell:
+
+```typescript
+// WindowLayer.svelte — one map, dispatch by prefix. New window kinds
+// register here, not in an if/else chain.
+const CONTENT_RESOLVERS: Array<[prefix: string, resolve: (id: string) => Component | null]> = [
+  ['session:', () => SessionChatWindow],
+  ['app:',     (id) => appById.get(id.slice(4))?.component ?? null],
+]
+
+function resolveContent(id: string): Component | null {
+  if (id === NEW_TASK_WINDOW_ID) return NewTaskChat
+  for (const [prefix, resolve] of CONTENT_RESOLVERS) {
+    if (id.startsWith(prefix)) return resolve(id)
+  }
+  return EntityDetailContent   // bare entity slug fallback
+}
+```
+
+Adding a `'lxc:'` console window kind later = one array entry. The
+existing orphan-close effect (`WindowLayer.svelte:25-30`) is kept as-is;
+Phase 2 must gate it on registry-ready (§5).
+
+### 2.6 Designed extension points (documented, not built)
+
+| Extension | Mechanism when built | Trigger |
+|-----------|---------------------|---------|
+| Titlebar actions | `titlebarActions?: Component` on AppDef, rendered left of min/max/close | First app that needs one |
+| App-scoped state | `state?: () => Record<string, unknown>` on AppDef | First app with cross-mount state that isn't module-scoped |
+| `onRegister` handshake | Called with a scoped AppOS capability object | Phase 3 (dynamic install) |
+
+Documenting these now prevents the Phase 1 contract from painting itself
+into a corner; building them now would be speculative.
+
+---
+
+## 3. The mascot as an App
+
+### 3.1 Registration
+
+```typescript
+{
+  id: 'mascot',
+  title: 'Cluck',
+  icon: EggIcon,                 // Lucide egg (chick/adult swap is a future nicety)
+  component: MascotLayer,
+  docked: true,
+  // no width/height — docked
+  // no badge — a permanent "1" is noise, not information
+}
+```
+
+### 3.2 The docked-visibility store (new)
+
+```typescript
+// lib/stores/docked.ts
+// Visibility for docked apps — persisted, so "hidden" survives reloads.
+// Keyed by app id; absent key = visible (default-on for new docked apps).
+export const dockedVisibility: Readable<Record<string, boolean>>
+export function toggleDocked(appId: string): void
+export function isDockedVisible(appId: string): boolean
+```
+
+- localStorage key: `oikos-docked-apps`
+- Default: visible (a fresh install shows the mascot; hiding is opt-out)
+- Merge semantics mirror `icons.ts`: unknown persisted keys are kept (an
+  uninstalled docked app that gets reinstalled remembers its state)
+
+### 3.3 Shell changes
+
+**`windows.ts` — `openAppWindow` branches on kind:**
+
+```typescript
+export function openAppWindow(appId: string): void {
+  const app = appById.get(appId)
+  if (!app) return
+  if (app.docked) { toggleDocked(appId); return }   // ← the branch the first draft missed
+  // ... existing wm.open path unchanged
+}
+```
+
+This is the load-bearing detail: the icon click in `Desktop.svelte:93`
+calls `openAppWindow(app.id)` for every app uniformly. Branching **inside**
+`openAppWindow` means Desktop.svelte, legacy hash resolution, and any
+future caller need no special cases.
+
+**`Desktop.svelte` — replace hardcoded `<MascotLayer />` with:**
+
+```svelte
+<DockedLayer />
+```
+
+**`components/desktop-shell/DockedLayer.svelte` — new, ~30 lines:**
+
+```svelte
+{#each APPS.filter(a => a.docked) as app (app.id)}
+  {#if $dockedVisibility[app.id] ?? true}
+    <app.component />
+  {/if}
+{/each}
+```
+
+Rendered after `<WindowLayer />` inside the surface div, so docked apps
+share the surface's coordinate space (the mascot's ground-line computation
+depends on this — `MascotLayer.svelte:9-13`).
+
+**`MascotLayer.svelte` — zero changes.** No props today, no props after.
+
+### 3.4 What the mascot gains
+
+| Feature | Before | After |
+|---------|--------|-------|
+| Registry entry | None — hardcoded in shell | First-class AppDef |
+| Show/hide | Impossible — always mounted | Icon click toggles; persists across reloads |
+| Shell coupling | `Desktop.svelte` imports mascot internals | Shell knows only `AppDef` |
+| Precedent for overlay apps | None | Any `docked: true` app (clock, net monitor) uses the same path |
+
+### 3.5 What the mascot does *not* gain (deliberately)
+
+- **No taskbar button.** No window → no taskbar entry. The desktop icon is
+  the control.
+- **No window chrome.** It's a desktop creature, not a document.
+- **No settings panel in v1.** Hatch/rename/pet/feed stay in the existing
+  radial menu. A mascot *settings* surface (volume, behavior toggles) would
+  be a separate windowed app later — noted as a follow-up idea, not
+  planned.
+
+### 3.6 UX risk: "where did my chicken go?"
+
+Hidden state persists across reloads. Mitigation: the desktop icon is
+always present and is the obvious toggle; the icon's tooltip reads
+"Cluck — click to show/hide". Acceptable.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Current apps — conformance audit
+
+| App | Conforms? | Notes |
+|-----|-----------|-------|
+| **Tasks** (`Overview.svelte`) | ✅ Full | Self-contained. Opens session windows via `openTaskWindow`. |
+| **Knowledge Base** (`KnowledgeBase.svelte`) | ✅ Full | Opens entity windows via `openEntityWindow`. |
+| **Operations** (`Ops.svelte`) | ✅ Full | Badge reads `summary`. |
+| **Signals** (`Signals.svelte`) | ✅ Full | Opens entity windows. |
+| **Knowledge** (`Knowledge.svelte`) | ✅ Full | — |
+| **Learning** (`Learning.svelte`) | ✅ Full | — |
+| **Settings** (`Settings.svelte`) | ✅ Full | Opened from taskbar tray too — same `openAppWindow` path. |
+| **Mascot** | ❌ Not an App | Hardcoded in Desktop.svelte. Refactored per §3. |
+
+All seven windowed apps conform today. "Independently shippable" at Phase 1
+means: add = one page file + one registry entry; remove = delete both. No
+shell edits, no inter-app imports (apps open each other's surfaces only
+through AppOS primitives).
+
+---
+
+## 5. Extensibility roadmap
+
+### Phase 1: Strengthen the contract (this plan)
+
+- [x] `AppDef` extended: `docked`, `noIcon`; geometry conditional on kind
+- [x] `lib/stores/docked.ts`: docked-visibility store, persisted
+- [x] `openAppWindow` branches on `docked`
+- [x] `DockedLayer.svelte`: generic docked-app layer in Desktop.svelte
+- [x] Mascot registered as `docked: true`; hardcoded `<MascotLayer />` removed
+- [x] WindowLayer: prefix-map content resolution *(deferred — re-audited as gold-plating; original gate already handles orphans)*
+- [x] `apps.test.ts`: validation rules per kind (§2.3)
+- [x] AppOS contract documented (§2.4 lands in MBSE component doc)
+
+### Phase 2: Lazy loading
+
+- [x] `component` becomes `() => Promise<{ default: Component }>`; all apps use dynamic imports
+- [x] Desktop icons render immediately (metadata only); component chunk loads on window open
+- [x] `LazyApp.svelte` — shared loading skeleton (spinner) used by WindowLayer + DockedLayer
+- [x] Deleted `LazyMascot.svelte` — the registry lazy loader breaks the cycle directly
+- [x] Vite code-splits each app into its own chunk (main bundle 800KB → 482KB)
+- [ ] Icon store revalidates against live registry *(Phase 3 prerequisite — not needed while apps are statically registered)*
+- [ ] WindowLayer orphan-close gated on registry-ready *(Phase 3 prerequisite)*
+
+### Phase 3: Dynamic app installation (frontend scaffold, local bundles)
+
+Scoped at execution time to **local bundles only** (remote-URL loading +
+sandboxing deferred to Phase 4 — security-critical, needs ADR + careful
+design). The mechanism built here generalizes to remote bundles by
+swapping the catalog for a fetched manifest + `import(/* @vite-ignore */ url)`.
+
+- [x] `AppManifest` format (id, title, permissions, version, geometry) — `web/src/app-store/catalog.ts`
+- [x] `AppPermission` enum (declaration-only; enforcement is Phase 4)
+- [x] Static catalog with one demo app (Notes) — `web/src/app-store/apps/Notes.svelte`
+- [x] Runtime registry: `APPS` → derived store (built-ins + installed); `appById` → derived Map
+- [x] `installApp` / `uninstallApp` + localStorage persistence (`oikos-installed-apps`)
+- [x] `icons.ts` reactive to app registration (late-registering apps get free cells; reset re-seeds from live registry)
+- [x] WindowLayer orphan-close reactive to `$appById` (reinstall revives, uninstall closes)
+- [x] App Store page (`web/src/pages/AppStore.svelte`) — list / install / uninstall
+- [x] Installed apps appear on desktop immediately (no reload); uninstall removes icon + closes window
+- [x] Icon store revalidates against live registry *(the Phase 3 prerequisite — now done)*
+- [ ] `/api/v1/apps` endpoint + DB-backed manifest storage *(Phase 4)*
+- [ ] Remote bundle loading from URLs + CSP + capability sandboxing *(Phase 4)*
+- [ ] Permission enforcement at AppOS boundary *(Phase 4)*
+
+### Phase 4: Marketplace (vision)
+
+- [ ] Community apps (network map, backup dashboard, energy monitor)
+- [ ] Versioning + auto-update
+- [ ] Mascot skin packs as installable docked-app variants
+
+---
+
+## 6. Implementation — Phase 1, file by file
+
+| # | File | Change |
+|---|------|--------|
+| 1 | `lib/apps.ts` | Extend `AppDef` (`docked?`, `noIcon?`, geometry optional). Register mascot. Import `MascotLayer` + `EggIcon`. |
+| 2 | `lib/stores/docked.ts` | **New.** `dockedVisibility` store, `toggleDocked`, `isDockedVisible`, localStorage persistence. |
+| 3 | `lib/stores/windows.ts` | `openAppWindow`: docked branch → `toggleDocked`. |
+| 4 | `components/desktop-shell/DockedLayer.svelte` | **New.** Renders visible docked apps after WindowLayer. |
+| 5 | `components/desktop-shell/Desktop.svelte` | Replace `import MascotLayer` + `<MascotLayer />` with `<DockedLayer />`. |
+| 6 | `components/desktop-shell/WindowLayer.svelte` | **Deferred during implementation.** The positional if/else was re-audited and found to already handle orphans cleanly (`{#if win && (!appId || app)}`), and any new window kind needs a prop-dispatch branch in markup regardless — so a prefix→component map adds machinery without decoupling. Documented as an extension point (§2.5) like `titlebarActions`; not built (YAGNI). |
+| 7 | `lib/apps.test.ts` | Mock `MascotLayer` import (same pattern as pages). Per-kind validation tests. Docked apps exempt from positive-size test. |
+| 8 | `lib/stores/docked.test.ts` | **New.** Toggle, persistence, default-visible, unknown-key merge. |
+| 9 | `docs/mbse/components.md` | Add Component 9: Web Control Room — App Architecture (§7). |
+
+**Out of scope for Phase 1:** `titlebarActions`, app-scoped state,
+lazy loading, manifests, permissions.
+
+**Verification:**
+
+```bash
+cd web
+npm run test          # vitest — registry + docked store
+npm run check         # svelte-check + tsc
+npm run lint
+npm run build         # vite build — confirms no import cycles from DockedLayer
+```
+
+Manual smoke: icon toggle hides/shows mascot → reload → stays hidden →
+toggle → returns at last position (model `lastPos` restore). All seven
+windowed apps open/focus/close identically to before. Legacy hash
+`#/signals` still opens the Signals window.
+
+---
+
+## 7. MBSE documentation
+
+Add **Component 9: Web Control Room — App Architecture** to
+`docs/mbse/components.md`:
+
+```
+9. Web Control Room — App Architecture
+  9.1 Purpose — OS + Apps metaphor, why apps are independently shippable
+  9.2 Structural View — shell modules, registry, docked layer (mermaid)
+  9.3 App Contract — AppDef, validation rules, app kinds
+  9.4 OS-Service Surface — the AppOS table
+  9.5 Content Resolution — prefix map, window kinds, orphan cleanup
+  9.6 Behavior — window state machine, docked visibility lifecycle
+  9.7 Requirements — WEB-APP-* traceability
+  9.8 Verification — test coverage, manual smoke
+```

+## 8. Risk & safety
+
+| Risk | Severity | Mitigation |
+|------|----------|------------|
+| Mascot refactor breaks stimuli or ground-line computation | Medium | MascotLayer unchanged; DockedLayer mounts it in the same surface div, same position in the stacking order as today. |
+| Hidden mascot never rediscovered | Low | Icon always present, tooltip says show/hide. |
+| `openAppWindow` docked branch leaks into windowed path | Low | Branch is the first statement; windowed path byte-identical. Covered by existing call sites (icon click, taskbar settings, legacy hash). |
+| Docked visibility store desyncs from registry | Low | Unknown keys kept on load; layer filters by `a.docked` from the live registry. |
+| Phase 2 lazy loading kills persisted windows of not-yet-loaded apps | Medium | Explicit Phase 2 gate: orphan-close waits for registry-ready (§5). Called out now so it isn't discovered in production. |

+# Table & Component Standardization Plan
+
+## 0. Motivation
+
+The app currently has **5 table implementations**, each hand-writing `<Table.Root>` boilerplate
+from scratch. The shadcn-svelte `Table.*` primitives (`web/src/lib/components/ui/table/`) are
+purely presentational wrappers — no sorting, filtering, pagination, row selection, or search.
+Every page reinvents sort arrows, empty states, loading skeletons, badge color maps, formatting
+utilities, and tab patterns independently.
+
+**Goal:** One `DataTable` abstraction that declaratively renders *every* table in the app,
+built on `@vincjo/datatables` (headless data-handling) with shadcn-svelte visuals and custom
+column/renderer composability.
+
+**Also:** Use this migration as leverage to standardize the component surface — extract
+repeated patterns into shared primitives so the codebase contracts rather than accumulating
+yet another abstraction.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Audit Summary
+
+### 1.1 Tables in the App
+
+| # | Page / Component | File | LOC | Features (what it has) | Gaps (what it's missing) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | `EntityTable.svelte` | `web/src/lib/components/` | 265 | Sort (5 cols), treegrid grouping, collapsible nesting, row selection, keyboard nav, loading skeleton, health dots | Pagination, search, column toggle, checkbox select |
+| 2 | `Overview.svelte` | `web/src/pages/` | 125 | Filter pills (all/running/input/done/failed), sticky header, responsive cols, animated status dots | Plain `<table>` (no shadcn), no sort, no pagination |
+| 3 | `Ops.svelte` — 3 tables | `web/src/pages/` | 240 | Inline approve/deny actions, risk/status badges, cancel button, duration formatting (`fmtDuration`), relative time (`fmtWhen`) | No sort, no pagination, no search |
+| 4 | `Signals.svelte` | `web/src/pages/` | 171 | Tab filter (open/muted/resolved), severity dropdown, inline Ack/Mute/Resolve actions, badge colors | No sort, no pagination |
+| 5 | Markdown tables | `ChatThread.svelte`, `EntityDetailContent.svelte` | CSS-only | Prose-styled `<table>` for AI output | No interactive features (by design) |
+
+### 1.2 Repeated Patterns (duplicated per-page)
+
+| Pattern | Occurrences | Where |
+|---|---|---|
+| Sort header with arrow icons | 1 (closed set in `EntityTable`) | Only EntityTable has sort; Ops/Signals/Overview don't bother |
+| `riskVariant()` / `severityVariant()` / `stateVariant()` / `execStatusVariant()` | 6 | Ops.svelte ×2, Signals.svelte ×1, EntityTable.svelte ×2, Knowledge.svelte ×1 |
+| `fmtWhen()` / `relTime()` inline relative-time formatting | 3 | Ops.svelte, Knowledge.svelte (both inline; utils.ts has `relativeTime` already) |
+| `<Table.Root> > <Table.Header> > <Table.Row> > <Table.Head>` boilerplate | 6 | Every table page |
+| Empty state `<Table.Cell colspan={N}>No ...</Table.Cell>` | 6 | Every table page |
+| `<Tabs.Root> > <Tabs.List> > <Tabs.Trigger>` with badge counts | 2 | Ops.svelte, Signals.svelte |
+| Loading skeleton | 2 | EntityTable.svelte (custom widths), EntityDetailContent.svelte |
+
+### 1.3 Current Tech Stack
+
+| Layer | What | Version |
+|---|---|---|
+| Framework | Svelte 5 (runes mode) | ^5.0.0 |
+| UI primitives | shadcn-svelte (local copies in `ui/`) | — |
+| Headless backing | bits-ui | ^2.18.1 |
+| CSS | Tailwind v4 (CSS-first config, no PostCSS) | ^4.3.2 |
+| Variant system | tailwind-variants | ^3.2.2 |
+| Icons | @lucide/svelte | ^1.23.0 |
+| Table library | **none** | — |
+
+---
+
+## 2. `@vincjo/datatables` — Why This Library
+
+**Headless.** It provides a `TableHandler` class that handles client-side pagination,
+sorting, searching, filtering, column visibility, and row selection — all as runes.
+Rendering is entirely up to us. This pairs perfectly with shadcn-svelte visual styling.
+
+**API surface (what we care about):**
+- `new TableHandler(data)` — instantiate with reactive data
+- `table.rows` — **rune** that reflects current page/filter/sort (auto-tracked by Svelte 5)
+- `table.rowCount`, `table.pageCount`, `table.currentPage`, `table.pages`, `table.pagesWithEllipsis`
+- `table.setRows(data)`, `table.setRowsPerPage(n)`, `table.setPage('next'|'previous'|int)`
+- `table.createSort()`, `table.createSearch()`, `table.createFilter()`, `table.createView()`
+- `table.select(id)`, `table.selectAll()`, `table.selected`, `table.isAllSelected`
+- `table.createCSV()`, `table.createCalculation()`, `table.createRecordFilter()`
+
+**No dependencies.** Lightweight. TypeScript-native. SSR friendly (even though we're SPA).
+
+### What it does NOT do (and that's fine)
+- No rendering. We build the UI ourselves — use shadcn-svelte primitives.
+- No server-side pagination — if we need that later, the library has a separate server-side API.
+- No column ordering — we don't need drag-and-drop reorder; we use `createView()` for visible/hidden.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Architecture Plan
+
+### 3.1 New Core Component: `DataTable.svelte`
+
+```
+web/src/lib/components/data-table/
+├── DataTable.svelte          # The main table component
+├── DataTable.svelte.ts       # TypeScript type definitions
+├── columns.ts                # Column definition helpers
+├── renderers/                # Built-in cell renderers
+│   ├── BadgeRenderer.svelte
+│   ├── HealthDotRenderer.svelte
+│   ├── RelativeTimeRenderer.svelte
+│   └── DateRenderer.svelte
+├── pagination/               # Pagination UI
+│   ├── Pagination.svelte
+│   ├── PageButton.svelte
+│   └── RowsPerPage.svelte
+├── sort-header.svelte        # Sortable column header with arrow icons
+├── search-input.svelte       # Text search input
+└── toolbar.svelte            # Top toolbar (search + filter + page size)
+```
+
+### 3.2 `DataTable` API (declarative, Svelte 5 runes)
+
+```svelte
+<script lang="ts">
+  import DataTable from '$lib/components/data-table/DataTable.svelte'
+  import type { DataTableColumn } from '$lib/components/data-table/DataTable.svelte'
+
+  let data = $state<MyRow[]>([])
+  let selected = $state<Set<string>>(new Set())
+
+  const columns: DataTableColumn<MyRow>[] = [
+    { key: 'slug',   header: 'Slug',   sortable: true,                            class: 'font-mono text-xs' },
+    { key: 'type',   header: 'Type',   sortable: true,  render: 'badge'                                     },
+    { key: 'health', header: 'Health', sortable: true,  render: 'health-dot',      accessor: (r) => r        },
+    { key: 'actions', header: '',      sortable: false, render: (row) => component /* snippet or component */ },
+  ]
+</script>
+
+<DataTable
+  {columns}
+  {data}
+  bind:selected
+  pageSize={20}
+  searchable
+  paginated
+  sortKey="slug"
+  sortDir="asc"
+  loading
+  emptyMessage="No items."
+>
+  <!-- optional slot for toolbar actions -->
+</DataTable>
+```
+
+### 3.3 Column System
+
+A `DataTableColumn<T>` is:
+
+```typescript
+type ColumnRenderer<T> =
+  | 'badge'           // wraps value in <Badge variant="outline">
+  | 'health-dot'      // colored dot + relative time
+  | 'relative-time'   // relativeTime(val)
+  | 'date'            // new Date(val).toLocaleString()
+  | Component         // any Svelte component, receives { row, value }
+  | ((row: T) => any) // raw value formatter
+  | undefined         // raw value
+```
+
+Built-in renderers cover badge colors, health dots, timestamps — eliminating the 6
+inline `riskVariant()`/`severityVariant()`/`stateVariant()` copies. Custom components
+cover action buttons and complex cells.
+
+### 3.4 What ships with the table
+
+| Feature | How | Default |
+|---|---|---|
+| Sorting | Click column header → `createSort()` | Yes, if `sortable: true` |
+| Pagination | `table.pages` + `Pagination` component | Optional (`paginated` prop) |
+| Text search | `search-input.svelte` → `createSearch()` | Optional (`searchable` prop) |
+| Column visibility | `createView()` → dropdown toggle | Not in v1 (add later) |
+| Row selection | Checkbox column → `table.select()` | Optional (`bind:selected`) |
+| Loading state | Skeleton rows via `loading` prop | Yes |
+| Empty state | Configurable `emptyMessage` | Yes |
+| Tree/grouping | `childToParent` prop → recursive rows | EntityTable-only feature |
+| CSV export | `table.createCSV()` → download button | Not in v1 (add later) |
+| Server-side pagination | `handlePageChange` callback | Not needed yet |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Standardized Shared Components
+
+Extract the repeated patterns discovered in the audit into shared components:
+
+### 4.1 `StatusBadge.svelte`
+**Replaces:** 6 copies of `riskVariant()`, `severityVariant()`, `stateVariant()`, `execStatusVariant()`
+
+```svelte
+<script lang="ts">
+  let { value, kind = 'state' }: { value: string; kind?: 'risk' | 'severity' | 'state' | 'execution' } = $props()
+  // Resolves variant mapping from kind + value
+</script>
+```
+
+### 4.2 `EmptyState.svelte`
+**Replaces:** 6 `<Table.Cell colspan={N}>No ...</Table.Cell>` blocks
+
+```svelte
+<script lang="ts">
+  let { message = 'No items.', colspan = 999, icon = null } = $props()
+</script>
+```
+
+### 4.3 `RelativeTime.svelte`
+**Replaces:** `Oks.svelte:58` (`fmtWhen`), `Knowledge.svelte:49` (`relTime`)
+**Consolidates:** Already exists as `relativeTime()` in `utils.ts` — wrap in a component that auto-updates.
+
+### 4.4 `FilterTabs.svelte`
+**Replaces:** `Ops.svelte:114-120` and `Signals.svelte:153-159` (Tabs.Root boilerplate with badge counts)
+
+```svelte
+<script lang="ts">
+  let { tabs, value = $bindable(''), class, children }: {
+    tabs: { value: string; label: string; count?: number }[];
+    value?: string;
+    class?: string;
+    children?: any;
+  } = $props()
+</script>
+```
+
+### 4.5 `PageHeader.svelte`
+**Replaces:** Every page's `<h1 class="text-lg font-semibold">...</h1>` + optional actions row.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Migration Sequence (ordered for incremental delivery)
+
+### Phase 1 — Library & Foundation (~1 PR)
+
+1. **Install `@vincjo/datatables`**
+   ```
+   npm install -D @vincjo/datatables
+   ```
+
+2. **Build `DataTable.svelte` + `DataTable.svelte.ts` + `columns.ts`**
+   - Core loop: `{#each table.rows as row}` + column render dispatch
+   - Pagination sub-components: `Pagination.svelte`, `PageButton.svelte`, `RowsPerPage.svelte`
+   - `SortHeader.svelte` — click to sort, arrow icons (extract from `EntityTable:163-178`)
+   - `SearchInput.svelte` — debounced text search
+
+3. **Build renderers:** `BadgeRenderer.svelte`, `HealthDotRenderer.svelte`, `RelativeTimeRenderer.svelte`, `DateRenderer.svelte`
+
+4. **Build `EmptyState.svelte`**
+
+5. **Unit tests** for `DataTable` column dispatch, sort, pagination, selection.
+
+### Phase 2 — Simple Tables (no tree, no actions) (~1 PR)
+
+6. **Migrate `Overview.svelte` (task board)**
+   - Plain `<table>` → `DataTable` with `StatusBadge`, `RelativeTime`, filter pills external
+   - Drop sticky-header CSS (`DataTable` handles it)
+   - Verify: filter pills, status dots, responsive summary column, click-to-open
+
+7. **Migrate `Signals.svelte`**
+   - Replace `signalTable` snippet → `DataTable` with action-column renderer
+   - Extract `FilterTabs.svelte` from the Tabs boilerplate
+   - Verify: severity dropdown, tab counts, Ack/Mute/Resolve buttons
+
+### Phase 3 — Action Tables (~1 PR)
+
+8. **Migrate `Ops.svelte` — Pending Approvals**
+   - Approve/Deny buttons as action column renderer
+   - Risk badge via `StatusBadge kind="risk"`
+
+9. **Migrate `Ops.svelte` — Decided Approvals**
+   - Same columns, no actions
+
+10. **Migrate `Ops.svelte` — Activity**
+    - Cancel button, summary + error inline, duration via `RendererComponent`
+    - Extract `FilterTabs` for Approvals vs Activity tabs
+
+### Phase 4 — Tree Table (~1 PR)
+
+11. **Migrate `EntityTable.svelte`**
+    - Treegrid grouping is the hard part. Build a `TreeTable` variant or a `grouped` prop.
+    - `childToParent` prop stays → recursive rendering while `DataTable` handles sort + selection.
+    - **Alternative:** Ship `treegrid` as a separate `TreeDataTable.svelte` component if the
+      recursive pattern is too divergent to fit into `DataTable`.
+
+### Phase 5 — Cleanup & Standardization (~1 PR)
+
+12. **Extract shared components everywhere:**
+    - Audit every `.svelte` file for inline `riskVariant()` / `severityVariant()` / `fmtWhen()` — replace with `StatusBadge`, `RelativeTime`
+    - Audit for inline `<Tabs.Root>` boilerplate — replace with `FilterTabs`
+    - Audit for `<Badge variant={...}>` with inline logic — consolidate
+
+13. **Remove deprecated shadcn-svelte table primitives** after confirming nothing else imports them.
+
+14. **Delete duplicate utility functions** (`fmtWhen` in Ops, `relTime` in Knowledge, etc.)
+
+### Phase 6 — Polish (~1 PR)
+
+15. **Column visibility toggle** (optional)
+16. **CSV export** for entity tables (optional)
+17. **Responsive tables** — horizontal scroll with frozen left column for mobile
+
+---
+
+## 6. Risk Assessment
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| `@vincjo/datatables` doesn't support treegrid grouping | EntityTable's recursive rendering stays independent; `DataTable` wraps flat tables only |
+| Svelte 5 runes + `TableHandler` reactivity mismatch | `TableHandler.rows` is a rune. Wrap in `$derived` or `$effect` to feed `data` prop → `table.setRows()` |
+| Over-engineering a simple table (3-row decided approvals shouldn't need pagination) | `DataTable` accepts `paginated` prop — default off. Small tables stay simple. |
+| Treegrid migration breaks KB browser | Phase 4 is isolated. Phases 1–3 deliver value before touching the critical KB table. |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Success Criteria
+
+1. **Every `<Table.Root>`** in the app routes through `DataTable.svelte`
+2. **0** copies of inline `riskVariant()` / `severityVariant()` / `stateVariant()` — all through `StatusBadge`
+3. **0** copies of inline `fmtWhen()` / `relTime()` — all through `RelativeTime` or `utils.relativeTime`
+4. **0** copies of manual `<Table.Cell colspan={N}>No ...</Table.Cell>` — all through `EmptyState`
+5. **`web/src/lib/components/ui/table/`** retained for `DataTable` internals only (or removed if unused)
+6. **TypeScript compiles** with `--noEmit` and **tests pass** (`vitest run`)
+7. **All existing features preserved**: sort, tree expand/collapse, tab filters, severity dropdown, approve/deny/cancel/ack/resolve buttons, sticky headers, loading skeletons, health dots, empty states
+

+
+### Key Decisions Made During Implementation
+
+- **EntityTable treegrid NOT migrated to DataTable**. The recursive tree rendering is too
+  divergent from flat, paginated data. Instead, EntityTable was refactored to use shared
+  `SortHeader`, `EmptyState`, and `HealthDotRenderer` to eliminate inline duplication.
+- **`renderProps` added to `DataTableColumn`** to pass extra props (callbacks, state) to
+  custom cell renderer components (used by `SignalActions`, `ApprovalActions`, `ActivityCancel`).
+- **`headerClass` added to `DataTableColumn`** for responsive column visibility on `th` + `td`.
+- **`bordered` prop on `DataTable`** for cases where parent wrappers provide the border.
+- **`StatusBadge`** uses a `kind` discriminator (`risk`, `severity`, `execution`, `type`, `default`)
+  instead of separate components per domain.
+- **`FilterTabs`** created but not yet wired into Ops/Signals — those pages still use
+  inline `<Tabs.Root>` for the approvals/activity and open/muted/resolved tabs.
+
+### Remaining (Phase 6 — Future PR)
+
+- Wire `FilterTabs` into Ops.svelte and Signals.svelte
+- Column visibility toggle
+- CSV export
+- Responsive table with frozen left column for mobile
