 All notable changes to Armature are documented here.
 
+## v0.9.8 — Conditional Routing → SDK Primitive
+
+Promotes the workflow branch-rule engine to a generic Starlark SDK
+module available to all extensions — no permission required.
+
+**New Starlark module: `routing`**
+
+- `routing.evaluate(rules, data)` — evaluates an ordered list of
+  condition rules against a data dict; returns the first matching
+  rule's `target` string, or `None` if no rule matches
+- 10 operators: `exists`, `not_exists`, `eq`, `neq`, `gt`, `lt`,
+  `gte`, `lte`, `in`, `contains`
+- First-match-wins semantics
+- Domain-agnostic: uses `target` (not `target_stage`) so any
+  extension can use it for feature flags, content routing, approval
+  logic, etc.
+- Always available — pure computation, no I/O, no permission gate
+
+**Tests:** 8 new unit tests covering all operators, type coercion,
+first-match-wins, empty/missing/bad input
+
+## v0.9.7 — Full Read/Write Workflow Starlark Module
+
+Extensions with `workflow.access` permission can now start, advance,
+cancel, and signoff workflow instances directly from Starlark scripts.
+
+**WorkflowEngine interface**
+
+- Defined in `sandbox` package to break the `workflow ↔ sandbox` circular
+  import (follows `NotificationSender` / `ConnectionResolver` pattern)
+- 4 methods: `Start`, `Advance`, `Cancel`, `SubmitSignoff`
+- `workflow.Engine` satisfies the interface implicitly — zero changes to
+  the engine package
+
+**New Starlark builtins**
+
+- `workflow.start(workflow_id, data={})` → instance dict
+- `workflow.advance(instance_id, data={})` → instance dict
+- `workflow.cancel(instance_id)` → None
+- `workflow.submit_signoff(instance_id, decision, comment="")` → signoff dict
+- All write ops require authenticated user context (`RunContext.UserID`)
+- Graceful errors when engine or user context unavailable
+
+**Refactors**
+
+- `instanceToDict` helper extracted — shared by `get_instance`, `start`,
+  `advance`
+- `signoffToDict` helper for signoff return values
+- `dictToJSON` helper for Starlark dict → `json.RawMessage` conversion
+
+**Tests:** 6 new unit tests (mock engine, happy path + error guards)
+
+## v0.9.6 — Deprecate stage_type, Collapse stage_mode
+
+Simplifies the workflow stage classification model by removing
+redundant fields.
+
+**stage_type deprecated**
+
+- No longer validated on input; any value accepted, defaults to "simple"
+- Existing manifests parsed for backward compatibility
+- DB column retained; export no longer includes the field
+- `starlark_hook` presence (not `stage_type`) determines automation
+
+**stage_mode collapsed (4 → 3 values)**
+
+- "review" removed as valid mode; mapped to "form" on input
+- Existing DB rows migrated: review → form
+- Review surface removed from workflow.html (~110 lines); signoff system
+  in `stage_config.validation` handles review behavior
+- Valid modes: form, delegated, automated
+
+**DB migration 018**
+
+- Postgres: UPDATE + CHECK constraint replacement
+- SQLite: UPDATE only (CHECK stays broad)
+
+**Package manifests updated**
+
+- bug-report-triage, content-approval, employee-onboarding,
+  webhook-notifier: review → form, stage_type removed
+
+## v0.9.5 — Typed Forms → SDK Primitive
+
+Promotes the typed form system from a workflow-only model to a reusable
+SDK primitive. Any package can now declare and validate forms — not just
+workflow stages.
+
+**Backend — `server/forms/` package**
+
+- Extracted `TypedFormTemplate`, `FormField`, `FormFieldset`, `FormOption`,
+  `FormValidation`, `FieldCondition`, `FormHooks`, `FieldError` from
+  `models/workflow.go` into standalone `forms` package.
+- `ParseTypedFormTemplate()`, `ValidateFormData()`, `EvaluateFieldCondition()`
+  exported for use by any consumer.
+- ~317 lines removed from `models/workflow.go` (no external imports existed).
+
+**REST endpoint**
+
+- `POST /api/v1/forms/validate` — authenticated endpoint. Accepts
+  `{template, data}`, returns `{valid: bool, errors: [{key, message}]}`.
+
+**Starlark module**
+
+- `forms.validate(template, data)` — gated by `forms.validate` permission.
+  Returns dict with `valid` (bool) and `errors` (list of dicts).
+
+**Frontend SDK**
+
+- `sw.forms.render(container, template, opts)` — Preact component rendering
+  flat and progressive (fieldset) forms. Returns `{getData, setErrors, destroy}`.
+- `sw.forms.validate(template, data)` — client-side validation (mirrors Go logic).
+- `sw.forms.validateRemote(template, data)` — server-side validation via REST.
+- SDK version bumped to `0.9.5`.
+
+**Manifest validation**
+
+- `form_template` accepted at package level. Validated via
+  `forms.ParseTypedFormTemplate()` at install time.
+- `ManifestInfo.HasFormTemplate` flag added.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- 16 new tests: 12 forms package unit tests (parse, validate by type,
+  conditions, fieldsets), 4 Starlark module tests (valid, required,
+  type errors, conditions).
+
+---
+
+## v0.9.4 — Package Adoption + Roles
+
+Packages can now declare `adoptable: true` in their manifest. When a team
+adopts an adoptable package, a team-scoped copy is created that references
+the original (shared assets, no disk duplication). The package's
+`requires_roles` auto-populate into a new `team_role_catalog` table so
+team admins know which roles to assign.
+
+**Schema**
+
+- Migration 017: `adoptable` and `adopted_from` columns on `packages`.
+  `team_role_catalog` table (team_id, role, source_package_id) with
+  unique constraint. Both Postgres and SQLite dialects.
+
+**Store + Models**
+
+- `PackageRegistration`: `Adoptable bool`, `AdoptedFrom *string`.
+- `PackageStore`: `ListAdoptable()`, `GetByAdoptedFrom()`.
+- `TeamRoleCatalogEntry` model struct.
+- `TeamStore`: `AddRoleToCatalog`, `ListRoleCatalog`,
+  `RemoveRoleCatalogBySource`.
+
+**Handlers**
+
+- `POST /teams/:teamId/packages/:id/adopt` — adopt a global adoptable
+  package into the team. Creates team-scoped registration, clones
+  workflow if applicable, populates role catalog. Idempotent.
+- `GET /teams/:teamId/packages/adoptable` — list available packages
+  with adoption status per team.
+- `DELETE /teams/:teamId/packages/:id/unadopt` — remove adopted package
+  and clean up role catalog entries.
+- `GET /teams/:teamId/roles/catalog` — list known roles for a team.
+
+**Manifest Validation**
+
+- `adoptable: true` parsed as `ManifestInfo.Adoptable`.
+- Rejected on `library` and `test-runner` types.
+- Persisted to DB on package install.
+
+**Deprecation**
+
+- `POST /teams/:teamId/workflows/:id/adopt` (`AdoptTeamWorkflow`) now
+  returns `X-Deprecated` header and logs a deprecation warning.
+  Use the package-level adoption endpoint instead.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- 11 new tests: 5 manifest validation, 3 role catalog store, 3 handler
+  integration (adopt success, idempotent, non-adoptable rejection).
+
+---
+
+## v0.9.3 — Team User Roles
+
+Promotes the team role system from a single-role-per-member model to a
+many-to-many relationship, enabling users to hold multiple roles within
+a team simultaneously.
+
+**Schema**
+
+- Migration 016: `team_user_roles` table (team_id, user_id, role) with
+  unique constraint and compound index. Both Postgres and SQLite dialects.
+
+**Store + Models**
+
+- `TeamUserRole` model struct.
+- 6 new `TeamStore` methods: `AddUserRole`, `RemoveUserRole`,
+  `ListUserRoles`, `GetMemberRoles` (union of primary + additional),
+  `HasRole`, `RemoveAllUserRoles`.
+- Implementations for both Postgres and SQLite stores.
+
+**Middleware**
+
+- `RequireRole(teams, roles, stores)` — kernel middleware that checks
+  whether the user holds at least one of the required roles (OR semantics).
+  System admin bypass via permissions.
+
+**Handlers**
+
+- `GET /teams/:teamId/members/:memberId/roles` — list full role set.
+- `POST /teams/:teamId/members/:memberId/roles` — assign additional role.
+- `DELETE /teams/:teamId/members/:memberId/roles/:role` — remove role.
+- `RemoveMember` handler now cleans up `team_user_roles` on member removal.
+
+**Manifest**
+
+- `requires_roles` field parsed from package manifests (advisory in v0.9.3;
+  extensions gate via `teams.has_role()` in Starlark).
+
+**Starlark SDK**
+
+- New `teams` module wired into sandbox runner:
+  - `teams.get_member_roles(team_id, user_id)` → list of strings.
+  - `teams.has_role(team_id, user_id, role)` → True/False.
+
+**Admin UI**
+
+- Team-admin members page: removable badge chips for additional roles,
+  "+ Role" dropdown for assignment.
+- Fixed pre-existing SDK auto-unwrap bug in `loadRoles` / `loadMemberRoles`.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- 10 new tests: store CRUD (add, idempotent, has_role, remove, removeAll),
+  middleware (allowed, denied), manifest parsing (valid, empty, invalid).
+
+## v0.9.2 — Starlark Converter Consolidation + Snapshot Cleanup
+
+Consolidates duplicated Go↔Starlark conversion code and snapshot
+parsers into canonical locations, removing ~350 lines of copy-paste
+across 8 files.
+
+**Converter consolidation**
+
+- New `sandbox/convert.go` with four exported functions:
+  `GoToStarlark`, `StarlarkToGo`, `DictToMap`, `MapToDict`.
+- Superset implementation handles all Go primitive types (nil, bool,
+  int, int64, float64, string), containers (map, slice), and Starlark
+  Tuple — covering every variant that previously existed.
+- Deleted duplicate converters from `workflow/automated.go`,
+  `handlers/starlark_helpers.go`, `handlers/workflow_hooks.go`,
+  `sandbox/workflow_module.go`, `sandbox/realtime_module.go`,
+  `sandbox/files_module.go`, `triggers/event.go`, `triggers/webhook.go`.
+- SQL-specific converters in `db_module.go` (error-returning, `[]byte`
+  handling) intentionally excluded — different semantics.
+
+**Snapshot parser consolidation**
+
+- New `models/snapshot.go` with `ParseSnapshotStages()` handling both
+  wrapped `{"stages":[...]}` and legacy flat `[...]` formats.
+- Deleted three identical parsers from `workflow/engine.go`,
+  `handlers/workflow_instance_handlers.go`, and
+  `handlers/workflow_assignment_handlers.go`.
+
+**Snapshot format standardization**
+
+- `workflow_packages.go` publish path now emits wrapped format,
+  matching `workflows.go`. All snapshot creation is consistent.
+
+**Tests:** 7 new converter tests with round-trip coverage. Existing
+engine, handler, and workflow tests updated and passing.
+
+---
+
+## v0.9.1 — Server-Side Sub-Path Routing
+
+Hardens multi-surface routing so full-page refreshes on sub-paths work
+correctly server-side, with early auth optimization and back-button
+resilience.
+
+**Route consolidation**
+
+- Root (`/s/:slug`) and catch-all (`/s/:slug/*path`) handlers now share
+  a single `dispatch` function. The root handler injects `path="/"` and
+  delegates, eliminating the separate code path.
+
+**Early auth short-circuit**
+
+- New `aggregateAccess()` function scans all surfaces to determine
+  whether a package is all-public, all-authenticated, or mixed.
+- All-authenticated packages redirect to login before surface matching,
+  skipping `matchSurface()` + `evaluateAccess()` overhead.
+- Mixed-access packages fall through to per-surface checks as before.
+
+**SDK back-button fix**
+
+- On boot, `history.replaceState()` seeds the initial history entry
+  with `__SURFACE_PATH__` and `__SURFACE_PARAMS__`. This fixes
+  back-button navigation from `sw.navigate()` to the initial
+  server-rendered view.
+- SDK version bumped to `0.9.1`.
+
+**Tests: 13 new**
+
+- 5 `aggregateAccess` unit tests (all-public, all-auth, mixed,
+  default-access, single-public).
+- 8 handler integration tests covering root refresh, sub-path static
+  and param refresh, unauth redirect, public anonymous, mixed-access,
+  non-matching sub-path, and early auth short-circuit.
+
+**Modified files:**
+
+- `server/pages/pages.go` — `aggregateAccess()`, route consolidation,
+  early auth short-circuit in `RenderExtensionSurface`
+- `server/pages/pages_surface_match_test.go` — 5 new unit tests
+- `server/pages/pages_handler_test.go` — 8 new integration tests
+- `src/js/sw/sdk/index.js` — `history.replaceState()` seed, version bump
+
+## v0.9.0 — Multi-Surface Packages
+
+Packages can now declare multiple surfaces — each with its own path, access
+level, title, and layout. A single package can serve a public submission
+form, an authenticated dashboard, and an admin settings page. The kernel
+resolves incoming requests to the correct surface and enforces access
+server-side.
+
+**Manifest: `surfaces` array**
+
+- Packages declare a `surfaces` array with entries like
+  `{ "path": "/submit", "access": "public", "title": "Report a Bug" }`.
+- Each surface has independent `path`, `access`, `title`, `layout`, and
+  `nav` fields. Package-level `auth` and `layout` serve as defaults.
+- Supported access levels: `public`, `authenticated`, `admin`, `group:{name}`.
+- Packages without `surfaces` get auto-synthesis from legacy `auth`/`layout`
+  fields — no existing packages break.
+
+**Kernel: unified route tree**
+
+- Surface handler and ext API handler share a single `/s/:slug` route tree
+  via `RegisterExtensionRoutes`. The dispatcher checks the path prefix:
+  `/api/*` → ext API handler with JWT auth; everything else → surface
+  handler with per-surface access checks.
+- `matchSurface()` resolves request paths against surface patterns with
+  Gin-style `:param` support. Static segments preferred over params.
+- `evaluateAccess()` checks access requirements per-surface, with login
+  redirect for unauthenticated users and 403 for insufficient permissions.
+
+**Frontend: `__SURFACE_PATH__` + `sw.navigate()`**
+
+- `window.__SURFACE_PATH__` and `window.__SURFACE_PARAMS__` injected into
+  every extension surface page. Packages use these to decide which view to
+  render.
+- `sw.navigate(path, params)` for SPA-style intra-package routing via
+  `pushState`. Emits `surface.navigate` events. Handles back/forward via
+  `popstate`.
+- SDK version bumped to `0.9.0`.
+
+**Navigation**
+
+- `extensionNavItems` reads the `surfaces` array to find the nav entry
+  (first `nav: true`, or root `/`).
+- Fix: packages with `status: pending_review` no longer appear in the
+  sidebar navigation.
+
+**Validation**
+
+- `ValidateManifest` validates `surfaces` entries: path required, must
+  start with `/`, no duplicates, access level must be recognized.
+- Empty `surfaces` array rejected. Non-array `surfaces` rejected.
+
+**Tests: 22 new**
+
+- 11 manifest validation tests (surfaces valid/invalid, auto-synthesis,
+  group access, duplicate paths).
+- 11 route matching tests (static paths, param extraction, specificity
+  ordering, nav resolution).
+
+**Modified files:**
+
+- `server/handlers/package_validate.go` — surfaces validation + auto-synthesis
+- `server/handlers/package_validate_test.go` — 11 new tests
+- `server/main.go` — unified extension route registration
+- `server/pages/pages.go` — matchSurface, evaluateAccess, findNavSurface,
+  RegisterExtensionRoutes, nav status filter
+- `server/pages/pages_surface_match_test.go` — 11 new tests
+- `server/pages/templates/base.html` — surface path/params injection
+- `src/js/sw/sdk/index.js` — sw.navigate, popstate, version bump
+- `docs/PACKAGE-FORMAT.md` — surfaces field documentation
+- `docs/MULTI-SURFACE-GUIDE.md` — developer guide
+
+## v0.8.5 — Extension Composability
+
+Extensions can now compose with each other through declared slots, UI
+contributions, and cross-package function calls. This is the last kernel
+feature before 1.0 — the platform now supports the "extensions extending
+extensions" pattern.
+
+**Manifest declarations**
+
+- Surfaces declare named `slots` in their manifest (e.g., `toolbar-actions`,
+  `note-footer`) with context documentation for extension authors.
+- Extensions declare `contributes` entries targeting `{host}:{slot}` names
+  (e.g., `notes:toolbar-actions`). Coupling is soft — install order doesn't
+  matter.
+- The kernel validates slot/contribution conventions at install time.
+
+**Backend: `lib.require()` relaxation**
+
+- `lib.require()` now works with any package that declares `exports`, not
+  just `type: "library"` packages. A full package (with surfaces, settings,
+  UI) can export callable functions for cross-package use.
+- The existing `depends` and permission model is unchanged — the called
+  function runs with the target package's permissions.
+
+**Admin slots endpoint**
+
+- `GET /api/v1/admin/slots` returns an aggregated map of all declared slots
+  across installed packages with their contributors.
+- Uninstalling a package that declares slots warns about orphaned
+  contributions in other packages.
+
+**SDK additions**
+
+- `sw.slots.renderAll(name, context)` — convenience helper for host surfaces
+  to render all components in a slot with error isolation.
+- `sw.slots.declare(name, description)` — runtime slot declaration for
+  discoverability and debugging.
+
+**Documentation**
+
+- `PACKAGE-FORMAT.md` — added `slots`, `contributes`, `depends` field docs.
+- `EXTENSION-GUIDE.md` — new "Extension Composability" section with slot
+  naming conventions, contribution patterns, and cross-package call examples.
+- `STARLARK-REFERENCE.md` — updated `lib` module to reflect exports-based
+  calling (not library-type-only).
+
+**Modified files:**
+
+- `server/sandbox/lib_module.go` — type check → exports check
+- `server/handlers/extensions.go` — composability field validation
+- `server/handlers/packages.go` — orphaned contribution warning
+- `server/main.go` — admin slots route registration
+- `src/js/sw/sdk/slots.js` — `renderAll()`, `declare()`, `declarations()`
+- `docs/PACKAGE-FORMAT.md` — slots, contributes, depends
+- `docs/EXTENSION-GUIDE.md` — composability section
+- `docs/STARLARK-REFERENCE.md` — lib module update
+- `docs/DESIGN-extension-composability.md` — status Draft → Implemented
+
+**New files:**
+
+- `server/handlers/admin_slots.go` — admin slot aggregation endpoint
+
+## v0.8.4 — Documentation Refresh + Surface Sizing Fix
+
+Eight versions of module additions (v0.7.5–v0.8.3) shipped without a
+docs pass. This release brings the public-facing guides up to date and
+fixes a CSS layout bug affecting all surfaces.
+
+**Documentation refresh**
+
+- `STARLARK-REFERENCE.md` — added `workspace` module section (5 builtins),
+  `permissions` module section, and `settings.has_capability()` documentation.
+- `EXTENSION-GUIDE.md` — added `capabilities` manifest block, `vector(N)`
+  column type, `user_permissions` and `gate_permission` manifest fields,
+  updated sandbox permissions list with v0.8.0+ additions (`files.read`,
+  `files.write`, `workspace.manage`).
+- `TUTORIAL-FIRST-EXTENSION.md` — reviewed for v0.7+ accuracy (no changes needed).
+
+**Surface sizing fix**
+
+All surfaces using the shell topbar had scroll content clipped at the
+bottom by ~44px (the topbar height). Root cause: surface containers were
+siblings of `#shell-topbar` inside `.surface-inner`, which used
+`height: 100%` without flex layout — the surface div claimed the full
+parent height, ignoring the topbar sibling.
+
+- Fix: `.surface-inner` now uses `display: flex; flex-direction: column`
+  so the topbar and surface share vertical space via flex layout.
+- All surface containers (`.surface-docs`, `.surface-admin`,
+  `.surface-settings`, `.surface-editor`, `.extension-surface`) changed
+  from `height: 100%` to `flex: 1; min-height: 0`.
+- Inline styles on `surface-team-admin` and `welcome-mount` templates
+  updated to match.
+
+**Modified files:**
+
+- `server/pages/templates/base.html` — `.surface-inner` gains flex column layout
+- `src/css/surfaces.css` — `.surface-docs`, `.surface-admin`, `.surface-settings`, `.surface-editor`
+- `src/css/extension-surface.css` — `.extension-surface`
+- `server/pages/templates/surfaces/team-admin.html` — inline style fix
+- `server/pages/templates/surfaces/welcome.html` — inline style fix
+- `docs/STARLARK-REFERENCE.md` — workspace, permissions, has_capability
+- `docs/EXTENSION-GUIDE.md` — capabilities, vector, user_permissions, gate_permission
+
+## v0.8.3 — Vector Column Type
+
+Extensions can now declare vector columns and perform similarity search.
+Three-tier progressive enhancement: native pgvector on Postgres, JSONB
+fallback without pgvector, TEXT fallback on SQLite.
+
+**Manifest: `db_tables` vector columns**
+
+- Declare `"vector(N)"` as a column type (N = dimension, 1–4096).
+- On Postgres with pgvector: native `vector(N)` type with auto-created
+  HNSW index (`vector_cosine_ops`).
+- On Postgres without pgvector: `JSONB` column.
+- On SQLite: `TEXT` column (JSON-encoded float arrays).
+
+**Starlark API**
+
+- `db.query_similar(table, column, vector=[], limit=10, filters={}, metric="cosine")`
+  — returns rows ordered by ascending cosine distance with injected `_distance` key.
+- `db.insert()` now accepts list values (serialized as JSON strings) for
+  vector column storage.
+
+**Internal**
+
+- Modified: `handlers/ext_db_schema.go` — `parseVectorDim`, `mapColType`
+  gains `hasPgvector` parameter, HNSW index creation for vector columns.
+- Modified: `sandbox/db_module.go` — `HasPgvector` in `DBModuleConfig`,
+  list support in `starlarkToGoValue`, `dbQuerySimilar` with pgvector and
+  fallback paths, `cosineDistance` helper.
+- Modified: `sandbox/runner.go` — wire `HasPgvector` from capabilities.
+- Modified: `handlers/extensions.go` — `SetCapabilities` on `ExtensionHandler`.
+- Modified: `server/main.go` — wire capabilities to extension handler.
+- Updated: `docs/STARLARK-REFERENCE.md` — vector similarity section.
+- New tests: 5 schema tests + 8 db module tests (13 total).
+
+## v0.8.2 — Capability Negotiation
+
+Extensions declare environment requirements in their manifest. The kernel
+validates at install time and exposes a runtime query for graceful degradation.
+
+**Manifest: `capabilities` block**
+
+- `capabilities.required` — array of capability names. Install is rejected
+  (HTTP 422) if any are unavailable. Rollback deletes the package row.
+- `capabilities.optional` — array of capability names. Install succeeds
+  regardless; extensions query at runtime via `settings.has_capability()`.
+
+**Detected capabilities:** `postgres`, `pgvector`, `object_storage`, `s3`,
+`workspace`.
+
+**Starlark API**
+
+- `settings.has_capability(name)` — returns `True` or `False`. Always
+  available (no permission required).
+
+**Admin API**
+
+- `GET /api/v1/admin/capabilities` — re-probes and returns current state.
+
+**Internal**
+
+- New: `handlers/capabilities.go` (detection, parsing, validation, admin handler).
+- New: `handlers/capabilities_test.go` (14 tests).
+- New: `sandbox/settings_module_test.go` (4 tests).
+- Modified: `handlers/packages.go` — replaced stub `checkCapabilities` with
+  real validation; `SetCapabilities` setter.
+- Modified: `handlers/packages_bundled.go` — bundled packages with unmet
+  required capabilities are skipped on startup.
+- Modified: `sandbox/settings_module.go` — `has_capability` builtin.
+- Modified: `sandbox/runner.go` — `capabilities` field + `SetCapabilities` setter.
+- Modified: `server/main.go` — `DetectCapabilities` at startup, wired to
+  runner and package handler, admin route registered.
+
+---
+
+## v0.8.1 — Workspace Module
+
+New `workspace` sandbox module. Managed disk directories for extensions
+that need a real filesystem (git, compilers, media tools).
+
+**workspace module (permission: `workspace.manage`)**
+
+- `workspace.create(name)` — create a workspace directory (idempotent). Returns absolute path. Enforces quota if `WORKSPACE_QUOTA_MB` > 0.
+- `workspace.path(name)` — get the absolute path of an existing workspace. Returns None if not found.
+- `workspace.list()` — list workspace names for this extension.
+- `workspace.delete(name)` — recursively remove a workspace (idempotent).
+- `workspace.usage(name)` — disk usage in bytes (10-second timeout on directory walk).
+
+**Configuration**
+
+- `WORKSPACE_ROOT` — mount point for extension workspaces (default `/data/workspaces`).
+- `WORKSPACE_QUOTA_MB` — per-extension quota in MB (default `0` = unlimited).
+
+**Internal**
+
+- New file: `sandbox/workspace_module.go`.
+- New permission constant: `ExtPermWorkspaceManage`.
+- Config: `WorkspaceRoot`, `WorkspaceQuotaMB` fields.
+- Runner wiring: `SetWorkspaceRoot()` setter, `buildModulesWithLibCtx` creates workspace module when permission granted.
+- Startup: `main.go` creates workspace root directory if writable, graceful degradation if not.
+- All directories scoped to `{WORKSPACE_ROOT}/{packageID}/{name}/`.
+- Security: name regex (`^[a-z][a-z0-9_]{0,62}$`), `filepath.Clean` + prefix check, `filepath.EvalSymlinks` for symlink escape detection.
+- 16 new tests (create, path, list, delete, usage, name validation, quota enforcement).
+
+## v0.8.0 — Files Module
+
+New `files` sandbox module. Bridges the existing ObjectStore (PVC/S3) into
+the Starlark sandbox with extension-scoped key namespacing.
+
+**files module (permissions: `files.read`, `files.write`)**
+
+- `files.put(name, content, content_type, metadata)` — store a file with optional metadata companion. Accepts string or bytes content. 50 MB default limit (configurable via `EXT_FILES_MAX_SIZE`).
+- `files.get(name)` — read a file. Returns dict with `content` (bytes), `content_type`, `size`, `metadata`. Returns None if not found.
+- `files.meta(name)` — read metadata only (no content transfer).
+- `files.list(prefix, limit)` — list files by prefix. Returns list of dicts. Filters out internal `_meta/` companions.
+- `files.delete(name)` — delete a file and its metadata companion. Idempotent.
+- `files.delete_prefix(prefix)` — delete all files under a prefix.
+- `files.exists(name)` — check existence without reading.
+
+**Internal**
+
+- New file: `sandbox/files_module.go`.
+- New permission constants: `ExtPermFilesRead`, `ExtPermFilesWrite`.
+- `ObjectStore` interface gains `List(ctx, prefix, limit)` method; implemented for PVC and S3.
+- Runner wiring: `SetObjectStore()` setter, `buildModulesWithLibCtx` creates files module when permission granted.
+- All keys scoped to `ext/{packageID}/`. Metadata stored as companion JSON at `ext/{packageID}/_meta/{name}`.
+- 16 new tests (15 files module + 1 PVC list).
+
+## v0.7.12 — Concurrent Execution Primitive
+
+New `batch` sandbox module. Enables extensions to parallelize arbitrary
+Starlark callables — including frozen library exports from `lib.require()`.
+
+**batch module (permission: `batch.exec`)**
+
+- `batch.exec(callables, timeout=10)` — runs up to 8 zero-arg callables concurrently, each in its own `starlark.Thread` with independent step budget. Returns `(results, errors)` tuple with ordered results. Per-branch timeout (1–30s, default 10).
+- Nested `batch.exec()` calls are prohibited (prevents exponential goroutine growth).
+- `lib.require()` not available inside branches — load libraries before the batch call.
+- `print()` output from branches is discarded.
+
+**Internal**
+
+- New file: `sandbox/batch_module.go`.
+- New permission constant: `ExtPermBatchExec`.
+- Runner wiring: `buildModulesWithLibCtx` creates batch module when permission granted.
+- Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-batch-exec.md`.
+- 12 new tests (parallel ordering, partial failure, timeout, cancellation, cap enforcement, nesting prevention, frozen sharing, permission gating).
+
+## v0.7.11 — Query & HTTP Ergonomics
+
+Four new Starlark sandbox builtins. No new permissions, no schema changes.
+
+**db module (permission: `db.read`)**
+
+- `db.count(table, filters={})` — returns integer count of matching rows.
+- `db.aggregate(table, column, op, filters={})` — single-value aggregation. `op` ∈ {count, sum, avg, min, max}. Returns int, float, or None.
+- `db.query_batch(queries)` — execute up to 10 query specs in a single call. Each spec supports the same parameters as `db.query`.
+
+**http module (permission: `api.http`)**
+
+- `http.batch(requests)` — concurrent HTTP dispatch of up to 10 requests. Individual failures return error response dicts (`status: 0`) rather than aborting the batch.
+
+**Internal**
+
+- Extracted `buildSelectQuery` helper from `dbQuery` for reuse by `db.query_batch`.
+- 21 new tests (14 db, 7 http).
+
+## v0.7.10 — Workflow Handoff + Assignment UI
+
+Closes the three UX gaps found during v0.7.9: public→team handoff,
+team inbox, and manual assignment. Also fixes dead system-admin bypass
+in team middleware and enriches assignment API responses.
+
+**Public Stage Handoff**
+
+- `RenderWorkflow()` detects audience mismatch (team/system stage + unauthenticated visitor) and renders "Submitted Successfully" screen with reference ID instead of showing the team-gated form.
+
+**API Response Enrichment**
+
+- `ListByTeam` and `ListMine` handlers enrich assignment records with `workflow_name`, `stage_name`, `sla_breached` by joining instance → workflow → version snapshot. Results cached per-request to avoid repeated DB hits.
+- `ListTeamInstances` returns `instanceView` with `workflow_name`, `stage_name`, `age_seconds`, `sla_breached`.
+
+**Team Middleware Fix**
+
+- `RequireTeamAdmin` / `RequireTeamMember` system-admin bypass was dead code (`c.Get("role")` never set by auth middleware). Fixed to resolve `PermSurfaceAdminAccess` via `resolveAndCachePerms`. Variadic `allStores` parameter preserves backward compatibility.
+
+**Team Workflow Inbox**
+
+- Enhanced `AssignmentsTab` in team-admin: "My Active" (claimed) and "Available" (unassigned) sections with claim/unclaim/release/work/complete actions, time-ago display, WS live updates.
+- Manual "Assign" button on unassigned rows with team member dropdown. New `POST /api/v1/assignments/:id/assign` endpoint.
+
+**Assignment Notifications**
+
+- Engine calls `notifyAssignment()` on assignment creation — notifies specific user or all team members via notification system.
+
+**SDK Gap Closure**
+
+- Added `workflowAssignments` domain (claim/unclaim/complete/cancel/assign/mine)
+- Added `teams.assignments`, `teams.workflowInstances`, `teams.cancelWorkflowInstance`
+- Fixed dead `workflows.cancel` route referencing `/channels/`
+
+**E2E Test**
+
+- `ci/e2e-workflow-handoff.sh`: public form → team review → claim → complete. Verifies audience mismatch screen, assignment creation, full lifecycle.
+
+---
+
+## v0.7.9 — Workflow Independence Audit
+
+Workflows proven independent of chat and all optional packages. Critical
+rendering bugs fixed, dead chat UI removed, deferred test debt closed.
+
+**RenderWorkflow Fix (critical)**
+
+- `RenderWorkflow()` was a stub that never loaded instance/stage data — post-start page was broken. Now loads instance by token/ID, resolves current stage, populates all template fields.
+- `WorkflowPageData` fields renamed: `ChannelID` → `EntryToken`, `ChannelTitle` → `WorkflowTitle`, `ChannelDescription` → `WorkflowDescription` (vestigial chat-era names)
+- Stage modes aligned: template uses Go constants (`form`, `review`, `delegated`, `automated`) instead of legacy `form_only`/`form_chat`
+- Dead chat UI removed: chat CSS, split layout, `sendMessage()`, fallback chat branch (~180 lines deleted from `workflow.html`)
+- Landing page mode conditionals updated to match Go constants
+- OpenAPI `stage_mode` enum corrected (4 occurrences)
+
+**Bug Fixes (found during verification)**
+
+- Entry token resolution: handler passed route param (instance ID) as entry token to JS. Fixed: resolve actual token from `inst.EntryToken` + `?token=` query param.
+- Fieldset submit guard: `submitForm()` checked `FORM_TPL.fields` but not `.fieldsets` — progressive forms silently no-op'd. Fixed: accept either.
+- Stage advance status check: JS checked `result.status === 'advanced'` but API returns `active`/`completed`. Fixed: on 200 OK with `active`, reload to render next stage.
+
+**Deferred test coverage (carried from v0.7.6)**
+
+- 17 new SQLite store tests: workflow CRUD, stages, instances, lifecycle (advance/complete/cancel/stale), team scope, API tokens, users, groups
+- `InstallPackage` decomposed from 400-line monolith into 7 private methods: `receiveUpload`, `parseAndValidateArchive`, `extractPackageAssets`, `registerPackage`, `applySchemaAndPermissions`, `resolveDependencies`, `checkCapabilities`
+- `ci/e2e-workflow-nochat.sh` — E2E test for workflow lifecycle without chat
+
+**Discovered issues (deferred to v0.7.10)**
+
+- Public→authenticated stage handoff: visitor sees auth-gated stage form instead of "submitted" screen
+- Team member pickup UI: no surface for claiming workflow instances
+- Assignment flow: no admin UI for manual instance assignment
+
+**Tests:** 17 new store tests, 1 new E2E script
+
+---
+
+## v0.7.8 — Bug Fixes & Admin Gaps
+
+- `StartBySlug` handler + `/api/v1/workflow-entry/:scope/:slug` route for landing page Start button
+- Workflow delete guard: admin endpoint rejects team-scoped workflows (403)
+- Package button cleanup: Delete hidden for bundled packages
+- Package export: `fetch()` with auth token instead of `window.open()`
+- Settings CSS: bottom padding fix for save button cutoff
+- Shared `StageForm` component between admin and team-admin; public entry URL with copy button
+
+---
+
+## v0.7.7 — API Tokens + Extension Permissions
+
+Personal access tokens (PATs) for programmatic API access, plus extension-declared
+user permissions for backend RBAC enforcement.
+
+**API Tokens (PATs)**
+
+- Migration 015: `api_tokens` table (PG + SQLite) with SHA-256 hash, prefix, JSON permissions, expiry
+- Token store interface + PG/SQLite implementations (Create, GetByHash, ListForUser, Revoke, CleanExpired, UpdateLastUsed)
+- `POST /api/v1/auth/tokens` — create token (returns plaintext once), permissions validated as subset of user's
+- `GET /api/v1/auth/tokens` — list my tokens; `DELETE /api/v1/auth/tokens/:id` — revoke
+- `POST /api/v1/admin/tokens` — create token for any user (audit logged as `admin.token.create`)
+- Auth middleware: `Bearer arm_pat_...` tokens validated alongside JWTs, user active check, fire-and-forget `last_used_at` update
+- Permission scoping: PAT permissions used directly at request time (git model — retained until revoked)
+- `auth.HashToken()` shared SHA-256 utility (replaces local `hashToken()` in auth.go)
+- Settings UI: API Tokens tab with create form, permission checkboxes, copy-once display, revoke button
+- Admin UI: "PAT" button on user rows creates tokens for any user
+- `BootstrapPAT`: `ARMATURE_BOOTSTRAP_PAT=true` env var creates admin PAT at startup, writes to `/tmp/armature-admin-pat.txt`
+- E2E smoke test: reads bootstrap PAT before falling back to login flow
+
+**Extension-Declared User Permissions**
+
+- Dynamic permission registry: `RegisterExtensionPermissions()` / `UnregisterExtensionPermissions()` with RWMutex
+- `AllPermissionsWithExtensions()` returns kernel + extension permissions; `AllPermissionsGrouped()` for admin UI
+- `user_permissions` manifest field: extensions declare user-facing permissions
+- `gate_permission` manifest field: ext_api.go checks user permission before calling `on_request`
+- `req["permissions"]` in Starlark request dict: user's effective permissions included for inline checks
+- `permissions.check(user_id, perm)` Starlark module: read-only permission check, always available (no sandbox gate)
+- Group UI: permissions grouped by source (Platform / package name) with section headings
+- Boot-time scan: `RegisterAllExtensionUserPermissions()` populates registry from active packages
+- Uninstall cleanup: `UnregisterExtensionPermissions()` called on package delete
+
+**Tests:** 10 new tests (7 handler + 3 auth registry)
+
+---
+
+## v0.7.6 — Code Hygiene + Test Coverage
+
+**Critical Fixes**
+- Removed `channels` from `allowedViews` in `db_module.go` — `ext_view_channels` does not exist; `db.view("channels")` would crash
+- Fixed 5 dead API routes in `workflow.html` — rewired to public workflow API (`/api/v1/public/workflows/`)
+- Fixed `RenderWorkflow` handler to pass route `:id` param as entry token (was reading unset `channel_id`)
+
+**Dead Code Removal**
+- Deleted `SeedTestChannel()` from `database/testhelper.go` (inserted into nonexistent channels table)
+- Removed `RunContext.ChannelID` from `sandbox/runner.go` (vestigial, unused)
+- Removed `webhook.Payload.ChannelID` field (channels no longer exist — breaking webhook JSON change)
+- Fixed stale comments in `storage.go`, `prometheus.go`, `workflow_module.go` referencing dead `/channels` paths
+
+**Migration Hygiene**
+- Added SQLite placeholder `013_cluster_registry.sql` (PG-only migration, aligns numbering)
+- Renumbered SQLite `013_test_runner_type.sql` → `014` to match PG (compat rename in `migrate.go`)
+- Documented missing migration 008 in both 009 files (merged into 007 during pre-1.0 consolidation)
+
+**Test Coverage**
+- 82 new workflow routing tests (`routing_test.go`): `ResolveNextStage`, `ResolveStageByName`, `ParseStageConfig`, `evaluateCondition` with all 10 operators
+- 10 new middleware tests (`permissions_test.go`): `RequirePermission`, `RequireAdmin`, permission caching, `RateLimiter` (allow/deny/fail-open)
+
+**Bug Fixes**
+- Removed dead Admin "Storage" tab from System category (backend endpoint preserved for future Monitoring use)
+- Fixed backup download: `sw.auth.token()` → `sw.auth._getToken()` — both "Download Backup" and server backup download now work
+
+## v0.7.5 — Headless E2E + CI Gate
+
+**CI Gating Redesign**
+- `VERSION` and `scripts/*` no longer trigger frontend/backend tests — deploy-only (pipeline v0.18.0)
+- `docs/*` changes now trigger build-and-deploy (docs are served in-app via Docs surface)
+- Path gating comment block updated to reflect corrected model
+
+**E2E Smoke Test**
+- `ci/e2e-smoke-test.sh` — authenticates as admin, discovers surfaces, runs Playwright navigation test
+- `ci/e2e-smoke-driver.js` — visits every surface, asserts shell topbar present, no JS console errors, home link works
+- Screenshot-on-failure: full-page PNG + console log saved as CI artifacts
+- Baseline screenshots captured for every surface (informational, not a gate)
+
+**CI Pipeline Integration**
+- `test-runners` stage re-enabled with broad trigger condition (BE/FE/packages/infra)
+- New `e2e-smoke` stage: boots server via docker-compose, runs Playwright smoke test, failure blocks merge
+- `docker-compose.ci.yml` gains `e2e-smoke` service (same Playwright v1.52.0 image)
+- `build-and-deploy` now depends on both `test-runners` and `e2e-smoke`
+
+**Documentation**
+- `docs/DESIGN-storage-primitives.md` — v0.8.x storage primitives design (files module, workspace module, capability negotiation, vector columns)
+- `docs/DESIGN-extension-composability.md` — v0.8.4 composability design (slots/contributes manifest fields, lib.require relaxation, SDK helpers)
+- `ROADMAP.md` expanded through v1.0: v0.8.x storage primitives, v0.9.x reference extensions, v0.10.x sidecar tier, v1.0 gate criteria, design principles, full design decisions log

-## v0.7.x — Test Infrastructure + Quality Gate
+## Planned
 
-The v0.6.x series built the kernel. v0.7.x makes it provably correct.
+### v0.9.x — Multi-Surface Packages + Workflow Redesign
 
-A full surface audit (docs/AUDIT-surfaces.md) found 7 cross-surface issues
-and 18 surface-specific issues across Settings, Admin, Team Admin, and Docs.
-Only Docs is properly built. The fix is three phases: (1) establish a shell
-contract and bring all four primary surfaces to parity, (2) build a runner
-framework for end-to-end browser tests, (3) automate those runners headlessly
-in CI.
+**v0.9.0 — Multi-Surface Packages** *(completed)*
 
-Design docs:
-- `docs/DESIGN-shell-contract.md` — two-slot topbar, three navigation patterns, surface migrations
-- `docs/DESIGN-surface-runners.md` — runner framework, requires declarations, headless E2E
-- `docs/AUDIT-surfaces.md` — full audit findings
+Packages declare a `surfaces` array with per-path access controls,
+titles, and layouts. Unified route tree dispatches between surface
+rendering and ext API calls. `sw.navigate()` for client-side sub-path
+routing. Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-multi-surface.md`.
 
-### v0.7.0 — Shell Contract + Surface Audit + Rebrand Cleanup
+**v0.9.1 — Server-Side Sub-Path Routing** *(completed)*
 
-Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-shell-contract.md`
+Consolidated root and catch-all route handlers into a unified dispatcher.
+Added `aggregateAccess()` for early auth short-circuit on all-authenticated
+packages. SDK seeds initial history state for back-button resilience.
+8 handler integration tests + 5 aggregateAccess unit tests.
 
-**Shell Infrastructure**
+**v0.9.2 — Starlark Converter Consolidation + Snapshot Cleanup** *(completed)*
 
-| Step | Status | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| Shell topbar (two-slot model) | done | Kernel injects topbar into `surface-extension` template. Two named slots: **left** (defaults to manifest title) and **center** (`flex: 1`, for tabs/pickers/search). Home link, notification bell, and user menu always present. |
-| Topbar customization API | done | `sw.shell.topbar.setLeft(vnode)` overrides left slot. `sw.shell.topbar.setSlot(vnode)` sets center slot. `sw.shell.topbar.setTitle(str)` shorthand for text-only left. `sw.shell.topbar.hide()` / `.show()` for full-bleed surfaces. |
-| Kernel tab CSS | done | `.sw-topbar__tabs` and `.sw-topbar__tab` classes for consistent tab styling in the center slot. Surfaces use these for free or style their own slot content. |
-| Notification read broadcast | done | Backend emits `notification.read` and `notification.all_read` WS events. Bell listens for `.created`, `.read`, `.all_read`. Cross-surface sync without refetch. |
-| User menu reactivity | done | Emit `package.changed` (install/uninstall/enable/disable) and `auth.changed` (role/membership) WS events. UserMenu listens and re-fetches surface list. Most impactful single fix. |
-| Shell announcement global dismiss | done | Dismissed state persisted to localStorage keyed by content hash. Dismiss once, dismissed everywhere. |
+Consolidated duplicate Go↔Starlark converters into `sandbox/convert.go`
+(4 exported functions) and snapshot parsers into `models/snapshot.go`.
+Standardized on wrapped snapshot format. ~350 lines of duplication removed.
+Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-workflow-redesign.md`.
 
-**Surface Migrations**
+**v0.9.3 — Team User Roles** *(completed)*
 
-| Step | Status | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| Settings → Pattern B (flat tabs) | done | Delete custom topbar + sidebar nav. 6 sections become flat tabs in topbar center slot. Content full-width. Fix Teams section: add team admin link, role display, leave action. Remove sessionStorage return URL logic. |
-| Admin → Pattern C (category tabs + sidebar) | done | Delete custom `admin-topbar`. `setLeft()` for favicon + "Administration". `setSlot()` for category tabs (People / Workflows / System / Monitoring). Admin sidebar (sub-navigation) unchanged — surface-owned, below the topbar. Bell + user menu come free from shell. Delete bespoke CatIcon renderer if using standard SVGs. |
-| Team Admin → Pattern B (flat tabs) | done | Delete custom topbar + sidebar nav. 5 sections (Members / Connections / Workflows / Settings / Activity — Groups removed) become flat tabs. Content full-width. `setTitle()` for team-specific name. Remove sessionStorage return URL. Fix signoff user display (`user_id` → `sw.users.displayName()`). |
-| Team Admin: remove Groups tab | done | 37-line dead-end. Read-only "No groups" with no create/docs/link. Remove until team-scoped group management is properly designed. |
-| Docs → Pattern A (default) | done | Delete explicit Topbar import. Shell topbar auto-renders with manifest title. Docs sidebar (document list) is in content area, unaffected. |
+Many-to-many `team_user_roles` table. `RequireRole()` middleware.
+Manifest `requires_roles` field (advisory). Starlark `teams` module
+with `get_member_roles()` and `has_role()`. Team-admin UI with role
+badge chips and assignment dropdown. 10 new tests.
 
-**Error Handling + UX Pass**
+**v0.9.4 — Package Adoption + Roles** *(completed)*
 
-| Step | Status | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| Inline error states | done | Replace `catch { toast }` with inline error + retry on all list endpoints. New `.sw-inline-error` CSS primitive. Systematic pass across Settings, Admin, Team Admin. |
-| Empty state guidance | done | Every "No X" message gets one-line explanation + primary action (create button or doc link). Admin Groups, Workflows, Teams; Team Admin Workflows; Settings Notifications. |
+`adoptable` manifest field + `team_role_catalog` table. When a team
+adopts an adoptable package, the package's `requires_roles` auto-populate
+into the team's role catalog. Adopted packages reference the original via
+`adopted_from` column (shared assets, no disk duplication).
+`AdoptTeamWorkflow` deprecated in favor of package-level adoption.
+4 new endpoints, migration 017, 11 new tests.
 
-**Bug Fixes**
+**v0.9.5 — Typed Forms → SDK Primitive** *(completed)*
 
-| Step | Status | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| evil-chat cleanup | done | ICD security tier: `finally` cleanup block + tighten `409` assertion. |
-| Workflow demo error surfacing | done | Replace silent `catch` with inline error + retry. |
-| Hello dashboard removal | done | Delete `packages/hello-dashboard/`. |
+Extracted `TypedFormTemplate`, `FormField`, `FormFieldset`, etc. from
+`models/workflow.go` into a standalone `forms` package. REST endpoint
+`POST /api/v1/forms/validate`. Starlark `forms.validate()` module.
+FE SDK: `sw.forms.render()`, `sw.forms.validate()`, `sw.forms.validateRemote()`.
+Manifest `form_template` accepted at package level. 16 new tests.
 
-**Rebrand**
+**v0.9.6 — Deprecate `stage_type`, Collapse `stage_mode`** *(completed)*
 
-| Step | Status | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| Light-mode icon SVG | done | New `favicon-light.svg` — square icon, transparent bg, dark node fills. Rename current `favicon-light.svg` (wordmark) to `wordmark.svg`. |
-| Dark-mode wordmark SVG | done | New `wordmark-dark.svg` — light text for dark backgrounds. |
-| Light-mode raster assets | done | `favicon-light-32.png`, `favicon-light-256.png`. |
-| PWA manifest description | done | "Self-hosted extension platform — build, compose, and run extensions." |
-| REBRAND-SPEC.md | | Land into `docs/`. Find/replace patterns, validation checklist, asset inventory. |
-| base.html favicon swap | done | Verify theme swap works with new square light icon. |
+`stage_type` deprecated (no longer validated, defaults to "simple").
+`stage_mode` collapsed from 4→3 values: form / delegated / automated.
+"review" mapped to "form" on input; review surface removed (~110 lines).
+Migration 018. 4 package manifests updated.
 
-**Tests**
+**v0.9.7 — Full Read/Write Workflow Starlark Module** *(completed)*
 
-| Step | Status | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| Shell topbar renders for extensions | done | Home, left slot, center slot, bell, user menu present. |
-| Topbar API (setLeft, setSlot, hide) | done | Custom content renders. Hide removes topbar. |
-| All 4 surfaces use shell topbar | done | No double topbars. Each pattern (A/B/C) renders correctly. |
-| User menu reactive to package install | | Install → menu updates without reload. |
-| Notification bell cross-surface sync | | Dismiss on Notes → clears on Chat. |
-| Inline error on API failure | | Error + retry shown, not empty list. |
+`WorkflowEngine` interface extracted in sandbox package to break
+circular import. Four write builtins added: `workflow.start()`,
+`workflow.advance()`, `workflow.cancel()`, `workflow.submit_signoff()`.
+`instanceToDict` and `signoffToDict` helpers shared by read+write paths.
+6 new tests.
 
-### v0.7.1 — Surface Runner Framework
+**v0.9.8 — Conditional Routing → SDK Primitive** *(completed)*
 
-Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-surface-runners.md`
+`routing.evaluate(rules, data)` Starlark builtin — a generic decision
+engine reusable by any extension. 10 operators (exists, not_exists, eq,
+neq, gt, lt, gte, lte, in, contains), first-match-wins, returns target
+string or None. Always available (pure computation, no permission).
+8 new tests.
 
-| Step | Status | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| Runner framework (`sw.testing`) | done | SDK module: suite/test/assert, lifecycle hooks, structured JSON results. |
-| `requires` declarations | done | Runner manifests declare dependencies. Missing packages → clean skip. |
-| Cleanup enforcement | done | `s.track(type, id)` auto-deletes in `afterAll`. No leaked state. |
-| Warning tier | done | pass / fail / warning. No silent catch swallowing. |
-| ICD runner migration | done | Refactor to `sw.testing`. Test logic preserved. |
-| SDK runner migration | done | Refactor to `sw.testing`. Domain suites preserved. |
-| Runner registry surface | done | `/s/test-runners` — list runners, run-all, results dashboard. |
+**v0.9.9 — Surface Access via Roles**
 
-### v0.7.2 — Package Runners + CI Gate
-
-| Step | Status | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| Notes runner | done | `requires: ["notes"]`. 3 suites (crud, folders, tags-search), 12 tests. |
-| Chat runner | done | `requires: ["chat", "chat-core"]`. 2 suites (conversations, messaging), 9 tests. |
-| Schedules runner | done | `requires: ["schedules"]`. 1 suite (crud), 5 tests. |
-| Workflow runner | done | `requires: ["content-approval"]`. 1 suite (lifecycle), 5 tests. |
-| Renderer runner | done | `requires: ["mermaid-renderer"]`. 1 suite (contract), 4 tests. |
-| Runner result API | done | `POST/GET /api/v1/admin/test-runners/results`. In-memory store, 4 Go tests. |
-| CI integration | done | `test-runners` stage in Gitea CI. Playwright driver, `wait-for-healthy.sh`. |
-| CI DinD networking fix | done | Resolve container IP via `docker inspect` — DinD port mapping doesn't expose to runner localhost. |
-
-### v0.7.3 — Extension Shell Migration
-
-Chat, Notes, and Schedules still use the old `sw.shell.Topbar` component,
-producing a double topbar (shell-injected + surface-owned). Migrate all
-three to the v0.7.0 shell contract (`sw.shell.topbar.setTitle/setSlot`),
-same pattern as the kernel surface migrations.
-
-| Step | Status | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| Chat → shell topbar | done | Delete `<Topbar>`, use `setTitle('Chat')` + `setSlot()` for thread title/people button. |
-| Notes → shell topbar | done | Delete `<Topbar>`, use `setTitle('Notes')` + `setSlot()` for action buttons. |
-| Schedules → shell topbar | done | Delete `<Topbar>`, use `setTitle('Schedules')` + `setSlot()` for count/new button. |
-| Update package runner tests | done | Shell-topbar test suite in each runner — assert no legacy Topbar, uses shell API. |
-
-### v0.7.4 — Documentation + Deferred Surface Work
-
-| Step | Status | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| Docs category grouping | done | Backend `Category` field on doc entries. Frontend groups sidebar by category with headings. Four categories: Getting Started, Platform, Extension Development, Operations. |
-| Permissions & Groups guide | done | RBAC model, 7 permission slugs, system/custom groups, settings cascade, extension permissions. |
-| Workflows user guide | done | Entry modes, stages, team roles, signoff gates, SLA, public forms, branch rules, Starlark hooks. |
-| Starlark Reference | done | Sandbox constraints, 10 modules with function signatures, permission gates, example hook script. |
-| Frontend JS Guide | done | Preact+htm runtime, 16 SDK modules with API reference, shell topbar patterns, CSS contract. |
-| Extension config_section docs | done | Manifest schema, backend discovery, frontend contract, example component. Added to Extension Guide. |
-| Docs content refresh | done | All 10 user-facing docs reviewed for v0.7.x accuracy: rebrand volume names, stale CSS vars, TLS_MODE env, self-hosted font notes, Architecture frontend section. |
-| Team Admin Workflows split | done | 722-line `workflows.js` split into 3 modules: `workflows.js` (router+CRUD), `workflow-editor.js` (editor+stages), `workflow-monitor.js` (assignments+monitor+signoff). |
-| Stale CSS variable fix | done | `--bg-2` references in `sw-shell.css` and `sw-primitives.css` replaced with `--bg-secondary`. |
-
-### v0.7.5 — Headless E2E + CI Gate
-
-| Step | Status | Description |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| Playwright test harness | | `ci/e2e-surface-test.sh` — docker-compose, chromium, run-all, assert. |
-| Screenshot-on-failure | | Full-page screenshot + console log. CI artifacts. |
-| Navigation smoke test | | Playwright visits every surface. Asserts topbar, no JS errors, home link works. |
-| Visual regression baseline | | Optional screenshot diff. Not a gate — report for review. |
-| CI pipeline integration | | Enable `test-runners` stage, add `e2e-smoke` stage. Failure blocks merge. |
+Wire team roles (v0.9.3) into surface access declarations:
+`access: role:approver`. Kernel middleware checks role membership.
+Completes the workflow→package access story.

-## Post-v0.7.x
+### v0.10.x — Panels + Composable Layout
 
-- **LLM participation** (`llm-bridge` extension)
-- **Rich media extensions:** image generation, code sandbox, STT/TTS
-- **Desktop app** (Tauri or Electron)
-- **Sidecar tier:** container-based extensions
-- **Federation:** cross-instance package sharing
-- **Plugin marketplace** with signing and review
+Panels are a new kernel rendering tier between surfaces (full-page) and
+block renderers (inline). They solve composable companion views — e.g.,
+a notes reference panel inside chat. Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-panels.md`.
+
+| Version | Title |
+|---------|-------|
+| v0.10.0 | Panel Manifest + Lifecycle |
+| v0.10.1 | FloatingPanel Primitive |
+| v0.10.2 | Docked Panels + Mode Transitions |
+| v0.10.3 | Panel Communication Patterns |
+| v0.10.4 | Reference Panel: Notes (basic) |
+
+---
+
+### v0.11.x — Notes Reference Extension
+
+Notes becomes the first reference extension — a production-quality
+knowledge base that exercises every kernel primitive. The UI/UX redesign
+is front-loaded as v0.11.0 so every subsequent feature version builds on
+a clean visual foundation. Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-notes-v011x.md`.
+
+| Version | Title |
+|---------|-------|
+| v0.11.0 | UI/UX Foundation — visual redesign |
+| v0.11.1 | Deep Folders + Navigation |
+| v0.11.2 | Wikilinks + Backlinks |
+| v0.11.3 | Live Preview + Rich Editing |
+| v0.11.4 | Note Sharing + Permissions |

+| v0.11.8 | Transclusion + Embeds |
+| v0.11.9 | Composability: Slots + Actions |
+| v0.11.10 | Panel Enhancement + Quality Gate |
+
+---
+
+### v0.12.x — Chat Reference Extension
+
+Chat becomes the second reference extension — human-to-human messaging
+built entirely on Armature's extension architecture. Where notes proved
+surfaces, panels, and storage, chat proves **realtime**, **cross-package
+composition**, and **extensible data models**. Chat is human-to-human
+first; AI participants arrive via `llm-bridge` (v0.13.x) extending chat
+through folder attributes and slot contributions.
+Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-chat-v012x.md`.
+
+| Version | Title |

+| v0.12.4 | @Mentions + Notifications |
+| v0.12.5 | Link Previews + Message Formatting |
+| v0.12.6 | Conversation Themes + Personality |
+| v0.12.7 | Composability: Slots + Actions |
+| v0.12.8 | Panels + Quality Gate |
+
+---
+
+### v0.13.x — Reference Libraries + Extensions
+
+Custom public root surface unblocks everything — anonymous visitors,
+landing pages, and the package registry. `llm-bridge` is the key
+library delivery — extends both notes and chat through composability
+primitives, and introduces the **tool meta-tool** pattern:
+`sw.actions.list()` becomes the LLM tool registry, so installing an
+extension = granting AI a new capability. Zero configuration.
+`armature.run` deployment is the dogfood gate at the end of the series.
+
+| Version | Title |
+|---------|-------|
+| v0.13.0 | Custom Public Root Surface |
+| v0.13.1 | `vector-store` Library |
+| v0.13.2 | `llm-bridge` Core Library |
+| v0.13.3 | `llm-bridge` → Chat: Multi-Persona Context + Tool Meta-Tool |
+| v0.13.4 | `llm-bridge` → Notes: AI Toolbar Actions |
+| v0.13.5 | `file-share` Extension |
+| v0.13.6 | Package Registry Extension |
+| v0.13.7 | `code-workspace` Extension |
+| v0.13.8 | `image-gen` + `image-edit` Extensions |
+| v0.13.9 | Tool Meta-Tool Hardening + Scoping |
+| v0.13.10 | `armature.run` Deployment |
+| v0.13.11 | Integration Quality Gate |
+
+---
+
+### v0.14.x — Sidecar Tier
+
+Connect-inward model: sidecars connect TO the kernel (no K8s RBAC, no
+service mesh, no DNS discovery). Instance sidecars (shared infrastructure)
+and user sidecars (personal local tools). Design doc:
+`docs/DESIGN-sidecar-v014x.md`.
+
+| Version | Title |
+|---------|-------|
+| v0.14.0 | Sidecar Registry + Auth |
+| v0.14.1 | Capability Registration + Execution |
+| v0.14.2 | Kernel API Access + Event Bus |
+| v0.14.3 | Manifest Integration + Admin Polish |
+| v0.14.4 | Reference Sidecar (`armature-embed`) + Instance Gate |
+| v0.14.5 | User Sidecars + Reference (`user-bridge`) + User Gate |
+
+---
+
+### v0.15.x — Polish + Stability
+
+| Version | Title |
+|---------|-------|
+| v0.15.0 | Native Dialog Audit |
+| v0.15.1 | Versioned Migrations + `armature migrate` CLI |
+| v0.15.2 | Pre-1.0 Schema Freeze + Upgrade Path Validation |
+
+---
+
+### v1.0.0 — Stable Release
+
+Kernel API surface frozen. Extensions are the product.
+
+Gate criteria:
+
+- All kernel Starlark modules documented with examples
+- All `api_routes` covered by OpenAPI spec
+- Upgrade path tested from v0.8.0 → v1.0.0
+- Notes reference extension shipped with all v0.11.x features
+- Notes UI/UX reviewed against v0.11.0 design principles — no placeholder UI
+- Chat reference extension shipped with all v0.12.x features
+- `llm-bridge` extends both notes and chat through composability
+- Tool meta-tool demonstrated: AI uses 3+ extension actions in a
+  single conversation turn
+- Multi-persona context archetypes demonstrated
+- Admin safety rails validated
+- At least 2 panels consumed cross-package
+- At least 2 slot contributions per host surface demonstrated
+- Note and conversation sharing functional end-to-end
+- Headless E2E green on PG + SQLite
+- `armature-ca.sh` + mTLS deployment guide
+- Single-binary + Docker + K8s deployment paths documented
+- Instance sidecar (`armature-embed`) deployed and functional
+- User sidecar (`user-bridge`) functional on macOS/Linux/Windows
+- Token + mTLS sidecar auth both tested
+- `armature migrate` CLI functional
+
+---
+
+## Post-1.0 Horizon
+
+These are candidates, not commitments. Each requires a design doc.
+
+- **Federation** — cross-instance package sharing, identity federation
+- **Package marketplace** — signing, review, discovery registry
+- **Desktop app** — Tauri wrapper for local-first deployment
+- **Offline/sync** — SQLite-first with PG sync for field deployments
+- **Multi-tenant SaaS mode** — tenant isolation at the team boundary
+
+---
+
+## Design Principles
+
+| Principle | Implication |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Extensions are the product | Chat, tasks, LLM, vector search, file sharing — all extensions. Zero kernel awareness of domain logic. |
+| Kernel stays thin | New kernel primitives require justification. If it can be an extension, it must be. |
+| Progressive enhancement | Every feature works on SQLite. PG adds performance. pgvector adds native vectors. S3 adds scalable storage. |
+| KISS-first | No unnecessary dependencies. Preact+htm (3KB), single binary, dual-DB from one codebase. |
+| Changeset discipline | Each CS independently CI-green. Design docs as implementation contracts. |
+| Pre-1.0 migration freedom | Schema changes fold into existing migrations. Post-1.0: proper versioned migrations. |

 | Single Docker image | Go binary + assets + migrations. |
 | Admin → RBAC group | Grant check replaces role check. |
 | Settings cascade | Scope auth + `user_overridable`. Two orthogonal axes. |
-| No new migrations pre-MVP | Proper versioned migrations post-MVP. |
 | Chat as extension, not kernel | Zero kernel awareness. Proves extensibility thesis. |
 | PG as consensus layer | UNLOGGED node_registry + LISTEN/NOTIFY. No etcd/Consul/Redis. |
 | Two trigger tiers | Extension-declared (full sandbox) vs user ad-hoc (restricted). |
-| Builtin package rationale | Must enhance kernel surfaces or demonstrate platform capabilities. |
-| Two-slot topbar model | Left slot (title/branding) + center slot (`flex: 1`, tabs/pickers). Two named slots cover every navigation pattern: simple title (Pattern A), flat tabs full-width (Pattern B), category tabs + surface-owned sidebar (Pattern C). Surfaces without sub-items get full content width; surfaces with hierarchical navigation add their own sidebar below the topbar. Shell provides the stage; surface decides the theater. |
-| All four primary surfaces migrate to shell topbar | Admin was "keep custom topbar" initially. The two-slot model makes it unnecessary — category tabs fit in the center slot, sidebar is surface-owned below. One topbar implementation replaces four. Bell + user menu + reactivity come free on every surface. |
-| Settings / Team Admin → flat tabs (Pattern B) | Both had thin sidebars (~140px) that consumed width without justification. 5–6 sections fit cleanly in topbar tabs. Full-width content is a better use of space for these surfaces. |
-| Team Admin Groups removed | 37-line read-only dead-end. Admin Groups has full CRUD. Restore when properly designed. |
-| Docs is the reference surface | Only surface with shell Topbar, bell, user menu, inline errors. Others converge. |
-| Surface runners over expanding ICD | Different test tier, different failure class. |
-| Headless E2E via Playwright | Runners produce structured JSON; Playwright navigates and reads output. |
+| Two-slot topbar model | Left slot (title/branding) + center slot (`flex: 1`, tabs/pickers). |
+| `db` module is the structured store | No separate KV primitive. Extensions declare tables. |
+| `files` module rides ObjectStore | No new kernel tables. Metadata as companion objects. |
+| `workspace` for real filesystem | Flat blob store can't serve git/compilers/ffmpeg. Managed disk paths. |
+| Capability negotiation at install | Fail loud with actionable message, not silently at runtime. |
+| Vector column with three-tier fallback | Works everywhere, works fast with pgvector. |
+| Sidecar deferred to v0.14.x | HTTP module covers external APIs. Sidecars connect inward (no k8s RBAC needed). |
+| Workflow redesign before reference extensions | Clean up debt and promote primitives before building on top. |
+| Panels as kernel primitive (v0.10.x) | Z-index coordination, drag/resize, layout negotiation are kernel concerns. |
+| UI/UX redesign as first version in each reference series | Every feature builds on the visual foundation. Front-loading avoids double work. |
+| Notes as dedicated v0.11.x series (11 versions) | Complex enough to need changeset discipline. Each version independently shippable. |
+| Notes before chat | Notes is simpler (no realtime) and proves storage/rendering/composability. Chat adds realtime + llm-bridge story. |
+| Chat human-to-human first (v0.12.x) | AI is an extension concern. Keeps chat testable and usable standalone. |
+| Chat as dedicated v0.12.x series (9 versions) | Second reference extension. Proves realtime, extensible data models, cross-package composition. |
+| Folder attributes as extension bridge | Chat stores attributes it doesn't understand. llm-bridge contributes definitions. Zero coupling. |
+| Action registry as tool registry (meta-tool) | Dynamic, zero-config AI tool-use. Installed extensions = AI capabilities. Uniquely Armature. |
+| Layered prompt architecture (6 layers) | Admin safety not overridable. Clear separation: platform → space → character → context → tools → user. |
+| Personas in llm-bridge, not chat | Chat sees AI as just another participant_type. Persona identity is llm-bridge's concern. |
+| llm-bridge after notes + chat (v0.13.x) | Proves the composability hooks work without being designed for a specific consumer. |
+| Custom public root first in v0.13.x | Unblocks registry, landing page, and armature.run. Small kernel change, high leverage. |
+| Package registry as reference extension | Proves public surfaces work. Needs files module for .pkg storage. Self-referential: Armature's registry runs on Armature. |
+| armature.run as dogfood gate | If armature.run can't run on Armature, the platform isn't ready. Issues feed into quality gate fixes. |
+| Sidecar connect-inward | No K8s RBAC, no service mesh, no DNS discovery. Works on any deployment target. |
+| Sidecar HTTP/JSON, not gRPC | KISS. 4-endpoint contract. Every language has HTTP. |
+| User sidecars in v0.14.5 | Prove instance contract first, extend to users with same mechanism. |
+| Three-layer user sidecar RBAC | Admin controls who + what, user controls visibility. Defense in depth. |

-# Surface Audit — Settings, Admin, Team Admin, Docs
-
-## Audit Methodology
-
-For each surface: read the index.js (tab/section structure), read every
-section module, check the HTML template, trace the topbar/navigation
-pattern, identify bugs, missing features, dead ends, and legacy baggage.
-
----
-
-## 1. Settings Surface
-
-**Files:** `src/js/sw/surfaces/settings/` (7 files, ~868 lines)
-**Template:** `surfaces/settings.html` — mounts into `#settings-mount`
-**Topbar:** Custom — back arrow + user icon + "Settings" title. No bell. No user menu.
-
-### Sections
-
-| Section | Lines | Status | Notes |
-|---------|-------|--------|-------|
-| General | 62 | ✅ OK | Default surface picker. Clean. |
-| Appearance | 78 | ✅ OK | Theme toggle (light/dark/system) + UI scale slider. |
-| Profile | 180 | ✅ OK | Display name, email, avatar upload, password change. |
-| Teams | 47 | ⚠️ Thin | Read-only list of your teams. No actions. No link to team admin. |
-| Connections | 222 | ✅ OK | Personal BYOK connection CRUD. Functional. |
-| Notifications | 96 | ✅ OK | Toggle notification types on/off. |
-
-### Issues Found
-
-| # | Severity | Issue |
-|---|----------|-------|
-| S1 | **P1** | **No notification bell.** Custom topbar renders back arrow + icon + "Settings" — no bell, no user menu dropdown. User can't see notifications or navigate to other surfaces without using the back button. |
-| S2 | **P2** | **Teams section is a dead-end.** Lists your teams with no actions — can't leave team, can't navigate to team admin, can't see team details. Just names. Should either link to team admin or show useful info. |
-| S3 | **P2** | **Back button uses sessionStorage return URL.** `sb_settings_return` stash means: open settings in a new tab → back goes to `/` (correct). But open settings from a deep link → back goes to referrer, which might be unexpected. Shell topbar with consistent home link would fix this. |
-| S4 | **P3** | **Extension config sections.** `__CONFIG_SECTIONS__` injection works but has no documentation. Extension authors don't know they can add settings sections. Needs a docs entry. |
-
-### Shell Topbar Migration
-
-Settings renders its own `settings-topbar`. With shell topbar injection:
-- **Option A (simple):** `sw.shell.topbar.hide()` and keep custom topbar. Works immediately.
-- **Option B (ideal):** Remove custom topbar. Shell topbar provides back + title + bell + user menu. Settings nav stays in the sidebar.
-- **Recommendation:** Option B. Settings topbar adds nothing the shell topbar doesn't. The back arrow just navigates to `/`.
-
----
-
-## 2. Admin Surface
-
-**Files:** `src/js/sw/surfaces/admin/` (13 files, ~2,522 lines)
-**Template:** `surfaces/admin.html` — mounts into `#admin-mount`
-**Topbar:** Custom — favicon + "Administration" + category tabs (People/Workflows/System/Monitoring) + UserMenu component. No notification bell.
-
-### Sections
-
-| Section | Category | Lines | Status | Notes |
-|---------|----------|-------|--------|-------|
-| Users | People | 152 | ✅ OK | User list, create, edit status/role. Functional. |
-| Teams | People | 178 | ✅ OK | Team list, create, member management. |
-| Groups | People | 207 | ✅ OK | Full CRUD — create, delete, permission toggles, member add/remove. Functional but **undocumented** (see issues). |
-| Workflows | Workflows | 163 | ⚠️ | CRUD + stage editor. `sw.api.workflows.list()` — needs same error-surfacing treatment as workflow-demo. |
-| Settings | System | 242 | ✅ OK | Comprehensive: default surface, registration, banner, message bar, footer, session TTLs, vault, package registry, email test. Actually solid. |
-| Storage | System | 76 | ✅ OK | Status cards, orphan cleanup. Clean. |
-| Packages | System | 391 | ⚠️ | Core feature. Large. Package list, install, uninstall, registry browse. **User menu doesn't update after install/uninstall** (main bug Jeff reported). |
-| Connections | System | 210 | ✅ OK | Global connection CRUD. |
-| Broadcast | System | 44 | ✅ OK | Send broadcast. Minimal. |
-| Backup | System | 162 | ✅ OK | Create/restore/download/delete. Works. |
-| Health | Monitoring | 209 | ✅ OK | Runtime, DB pool, cluster, extension metrics. |
-| Audit | Monitoring | 88 | ✅ OK | Audit log viewer with pagination. |
-
-### Issues Found
-
-| # | Severity | Issue |
-|---|----------|-------|
-| A1 | **P1** | **User menu not reactive to package changes.** `UserMenu` fetches surface list once on mount (`useEffect([authenticated])`). Installing/uninstalling a package doesn't trigger re-fetch. User must refresh the page to see new surfaces in the menu. Same for role changes (adding as team-admin). |
-| A2 | **P1** | **No notification bell.** Admin topbar has category tabs + UserMenu but no NotificationBell component. |
-| A3 | **P2** | **Groups: no documentation or inline help.** Admin Groups has full CRUD but zero explanation of what groups are, what permissions mean, or how the RBAC model works. "No groups" → user creates one → sees a list of permission slugs like `surface.admin.access` with no description. Every permission should have a human-readable description. |
-| A4 | **P2** | **Workflows: silent error potential.** `sw.api.workflows.list()` — if this fails, `catch (e) { sw.toast(e.message, 'error'); }` fires a toast but leaves the list empty. Better than workflow-demo's silent swallow, but the toast disappears and the user is left with an empty list + no context. Should show inline error state. |
-| A5 | **P2** | **Packages: no post-install feedback.** After installing a package, the package list refreshes (good) but the user menu doesn't update (bad — A1). User installs Notes, doesn't see it in the menu, thinks it's broken. |
-| A6 | **P3** | **Admin topbar favicon is hardcoded.** Line 142: `<img src="${BASE}/favicon.svg">`. Should respect light/dark theme favicon swap. |
-| A7 | **P3** | **Category icon rendering is fragile.** Custom compact SVG format (`C12 12 3\|M19.4 15...`) in `CatIcon`. Works but is unmaintainable — any icon change requires understanding the custom format. Should use standard SVG paths or lucide/feather icons. |
-
-### Shell Topbar Migration
-
-Admin has the most complex custom topbar — category tabs are genuinely useful navigation. Options:
-- **Option A (recommended):** `sw.shell.topbar.hide()`. Admin keeps its custom topbar but adds NotificationBell component to its existing right-side area next to UserMenu.
-- **Option B:** Shell topbar with `sw.shell.topbar.setSlot()` for category tabs. Works but requires rethinking the layout since shell topbar has fixed structure (home | title | slot | bell | user).
-- **Recommendation:** Option A for v0.7.0. Admin's custom topbar is bespoke enough to warrant keeping. Just wire in the bell.
-
----
-
-## 3. Team Admin Surface
-
-**Files:** `src/js/sw/surfaces/team-admin/` (7 files, ~1,119 lines)
-**Template:** `surfaces/team-admin.html` — mounts into `#team-admin-mount`
-**Topbar:** Custom — back arrow + "Team Admin: {team name}" title. No bell. No user menu.
-
-### Sections
-
-| Section | Lines | Status | Notes |
-|---------|-------|--------|-------|
-| Members | ~90 | ✅ OK | Member list, add, remove. Functional. |
-| Groups | 37 | ❌ Dead-end | Read-only "No groups" display. No create, no docs, no link to admin. |
-| Connections | ~120 | ✅ OK | Team-scoped connections. Same pattern as user/admin connections. |
-| Workflows | 723 | ⚠️ Massive | Three tabs: Workflows (CRUD + inline stage editor), Assignments (claim/release/complete), Monitor (active instances + signoff). This is 65% of the surface's code. |
-| Settings | 72 | ✅ OK | Team name + description. Clean. |
-| Activity | ~80 | ✅ OK | Audit log. Works. |
-
-### Issues Found
-
-| # | Severity | Issue |
-|---|----------|-------|
-| T1 | **P1** | **Groups is a dead-end.** 37 lines. Read-only list of team groups. No "Create Group" button. No explanation of what groups are. No link to Admin > Groups where creation actually happens. A team admin user who isn't a platform admin literally cannot create team groups. The Admin groups page supports `scope: team` but that creates a global group with team scope — it's unclear if team-admin should even see groups at all. |
-| T2 | **P1** | **Workflows "Adopt Global" — same silent-error class.** `sw.api.teams.availableWorkflows(teamId)` — if this fails, the catch fires a toast but the adopt panel shows "No global workflows available" — indistinguishable from "there genuinely aren't any" vs "the API errored." |
-| T3 | **P1** | **Workflows is disproportionately complex.** 723 lines — inline stage editor with mode/type selectors, SLA fields, stage reordering, team role assignment per stage. This is a full workflow designer embedded in a tab. It works but it's a maintenance burden and the UX is dense. Question: should this complexity live here or be a separate workflow-designer surface? |
-| T4 | **P1** | **No notification bell.** Same as Settings — custom topbar with no bell. |
-| T5 | **P2** | **No user menu.** Unlike Admin (which renders UserMenu), Team Admin has no user menu in its topbar. User can't navigate to other surfaces except via the back button. |
-| T6 | **P2** | **Signoff panel shows raw user_id.** Line 714: `<span>${s.user_id}</span>` — shows UUID instead of display name. Should use `sw.users.displayName(s.user_id)`. |
-| T7 | **P3** | **Back button uses sessionStorage.** Same pattern as Settings (`sb_team_admin_return`). Shell topbar would fix. |
-
-### Shell Topbar Migration
-
-Team Admin has a simple topbar (back + title). Direct replacement:
-- Shell topbar provides: home link + "Team Admin: {name}" title + bell + user menu.
-- Team name from `sw.api.teams.get(teamId)` → `sw.shell.topbar.setTitle('Team Admin: ' + team.name)`.
-- Delete the custom topbar entirely.
-
----
-
-## 4. Docs Surface
-
-**Files:** `src/js/sw/surfaces/docs/` (1 file, 313 lines)
-**Template:** `surfaces/docs.html` — mounts into `#docs-mount`
-**Topbar:** Imports and renders `shell/topbar.js` (the SDK Topbar component). **Only surface that uses the shell Topbar.**
-
-### Features
-
-| Feature | Status | Notes |
-|---------|--------|-------|
-| Document list sidebar | ✅ OK | Fetches from `/api/v1/docs`, renders nav links. |
-| Markdown rendering | ✅ OK | Uses `sw.markdown.renderSync()` + post-renderers (mermaid, katex). |
-| Document outline | ✅ OK | Parses H1-H4 from markdown, renders table of contents. |
-| Search | ✅ OK | Filters documents in sidebar. |
-| URL updates | ✅ OK | `history.replaceState` on doc change. |
-| Topbar | ✅ OK | Uses shell `Topbar` component — has title, bell, user menu. |
-
-### Issues Found
-
-| # | Severity | Issue |
-|---|----------|-------|
-| D1 | **P2** | **Stale content.** The docs themselves may be outdated — GETTING-STARTED, EXTENSION-GUIDE, API-REFERENCE, DEPLOYMENT, PACKAGE-FORMAT were written in v0.6.1. 18 versions later, some content is likely stale. Needs a content review pass. |
-| D2 | **P3** | **No docs for RBAC/Groups.** Admin Groups exists with full CRUD but there's no documentation explaining the permission model, what each permission slug means, how groups interact with teams, or how the settings cascade works. This directly causes the "groups WTF" reaction. |
-| D3 | **P3** | **No docs for Workflows.** The workflow engine is complex (multi-stage, team roles, signoff gates, SLA, public entry) but has no user-facing documentation. `DESIGN-WORKFLOWS.md` exists but is a design doc, not a user guide. |
-| D4 | **P3** | **Shell topbar migration.** Docs already imports `shell/topbar.js` — when shell topbar injection lands, Docs will get a double topbar. Needs migration: delete the import, let shell topbar handle it. Docs currently passes no custom slot content, so it's a pure delete. |

-## Cross-Surface Issues
-
-These affect multiple or all surfaces:
-
-| # | Severity | Issue | Surfaces |
-|---|----------|-------|----------|
-| X1 | **P0** | **User menu not reactive.** Package install/uninstall, role changes, team membership changes — none trigger a menu refresh. User must reload the page. | All (via UserMenu component) |
-| X2 | **P1** | **No notification bell on 3/4 surfaces.** Only Docs has a bell (via Topbar import). Settings, Admin, and Team Admin all lack it. | Settings, Admin, Team Admin |
-| X3 | **P1** | **No user menu on 2/4 surfaces.** Settings and Team Admin have no user menu at all. Admin and Docs have one. | Settings, Team Admin |
-| X4 | **P2** | **Every surface has its own topbar.** Four different topbar implementations. None use the (not-yet-existing) shell topbar injection. Shell topbar (v0.7.0) eliminates this duplication. | All |
-| X5 | **P2** | **Silent error swallowing.** Multiple sections use `catch (e) { toast }` which fires a toast and leaves an empty/stale UI. Toast disappears after seconds; user is left confused. Every list endpoint needs an inline error state with retry. | Admin Workflows, Team Admin Workflows, Packages |
-| X6 | **P2** | **Empty states provide no guidance.** "No groups", "No workflows", "No notifications" — no explanation of what the feature is, why it's empty, or what action to take. Every empty state should have a one-line explanation and a primary action (create, link to docs, etc.). | Admin Groups, Team Admin Groups, Workflows |
-| X7 | **P3** | **Raw IDs in UI.** Team Admin signoff panel shows `user_id` UUIDs. Any surface showing IDs should resolve via `sw.users.displayName()`. | Team Admin Workflows |
-
----
-
-## Recommendations
-
-### Immediate (fold into v0.7.0)
-
-1. **User menu reactivity** — emit `package.changed` and `auth.changed` events over WS + local custom events. UserMenu listens and re-fetches surface list. This is the single most impactful fix.
-
-2. **Shell topbar migration for Settings + Team Admin** — both have simple topbars that the shell topbar directly replaces. Docs deletes its Topbar import. Admin keeps its custom topbar but adds NotificationBell.
-
-3. **Remove Team Admin Groups tab** — it's 37 lines of dead-end. Team-scoped group management should either (a) be added properly with create/edit/delete or (b) removed until it's properly designed. Showing "No groups" with no path forward is worse than not showing the tab.
-
-4. **Error states** — replace `catch { toast }` with inline error + retry UI on every list endpoint. Systematic pass across all four surfaces.
-
-5. **Empty state copy** — every "No X" message gets a one-line explanation + primary action button or doc link.
-

+# DESIGN — Concurrent Execution Primitive (`batch.exec`)
+
+**Version:** v0.7.12
+**Status:** Implemented
+**Author:** Jeff / Claude session 2026-04-02
+
+---
+
+## Problem
+
+Starlark is single-threaded by design (`go.starlark.net` enforces one
+thread per execution). Extensions that need to fan out — calling multiple
+external APIs, invoking several library functions, or performing independent
+I/O operations — must do so sequentially. For two `http.post()` calls
+taking 200ms each, the extension blocks for 400ms regardless of whether
+the calls are independent.
+
+The v0.7.10 `http.batch()` primitive solves the narrow case of parallel
+HTTP dispatch. But it doesn't help when the work is wrapped in library
+functions. If a `jira-client` library exposes `create_issue()` and a
+`confluence-client` library exposes `create_page()`, the extension author
+must either:
+
+1. Call them sequentially (slow), or
+2. Decompose the library calls back into raw `http.post()` parameters
+   to use `http.batch()` (defeats the purpose of having libraries).
+
+The platform needs a general-purpose concurrent execution primitive that
+works with arbitrary Starlark callables — including library exports.
+
+---
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- **Shared mutable state between branches.** Each concurrent branch is
+  fully isolated. No channels, no mutexes, no shared dicts. If branches
+  need to coordinate, they don't belong in `batch.exec`.
+- **Unlimited concurrency.** A hard cap prevents extensions from spawning
+  unbounded goroutines. This is a fan-out primitive, not a thread pool.
+- **Automatic retry or circuit breaking.** Error handling is the caller's
+  responsibility. The kernel reports per-branch results and errors.
+- **Nested `batch.exec()`.** A callable inside `batch.exec` cannot itself
+  call `batch.exec`. This prevents exponential goroutine growth and keeps
+  the concurrency model flat.
+
+---
+
+## Key Insight: Frozen Libraries Are Thread-Safe
+
+The reason this works without exotic machinery is `lib.require()`.
+
+When a library is loaded via `lib.require()`, its exports are wrapped in
+a `starlarkstruct.FromStringDict()` — which produces a **frozen** struct.
+Frozen Starlark values are immutable and safe to read from any number of
+goroutines concurrently. This is a property of `go.starlark.net`, not
+something we enforce.
+
+The only mutable state in a Starlark execution is:
+
+1. **The `starlark.Thread` itself** — step counter, print buffer, cancel
+   channel. Each branch gets its own thread.
+2. **Module instances** — `db`, `http`, `settings`, etc. contain
+   configuration and hold references to shared Go objects (`*sql.DB`,
+   `http.Client`). Each branch gets fresh module instances, but the
+   underlying Go resources (`*sql.DB` connection pool, etc.) are already
+   designed for concurrent access.
+3. **Local variables** — thread-local by definition in Starlark.
+
+So the construction is: one new `starlark.Thread` + one new module set
+per branch, with frozen library structs shared read-only across all
+branches. This is exactly what `triggers/schedule.go` already does for
+scheduled task execution — `buildRestrictedModules` creates a fresh
+module set for each cron fire. `batch.exec` generalizes that pattern.
+
+---
+
+## API
+
+```python
+results, errors = batch.exec([
+    lambda: jira.create_issue(issue_data),
+    lambda: confluence.create_page(page_data),
+    lambda: slack.post_message(channel, msg),
+])
+
+# results[0] = return value of jira.create_issue(), or None on error
+# errors[0]  = None on success, or error string on failure
+# All three ran concurrently.
+```
+
+### Signature
+
+```
+batch.exec(callables, timeout=10) → (results: list, errors: list)
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+| Param | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `callables` | `list[callable]` | Starlark callables (lambdas, named functions, bound methods). Max length: 8. |
+| `timeout` | `int` (optional) | Per-branch timeout in seconds. Default 10. Max 30. Inherits parent context deadline if shorter. |
+
+**Returns:** A 2-tuple of equal-length lists.
+
+- `results[i]` — the return value of `callables[i]`, or `None` if it
+  errored.
+- `errors[i]` — `None` if `callables[i]` succeeded, or a string error
+  message if it failed (timeout, step limit, runtime error).
+
+**Errors (whole-call):**
+
+- `callables` is empty → error
+- `callables` length > 8 → error
+- Any element is not callable → error
+- Permission `batch.exec` not granted → error
+
+### Permission
+
+New extension permission: `batch.exec`. Declared in manifest:
+
+```json
+{
+  "permissions": ["batch.exec"]
+}
+```
+
+This is a separate permission because concurrent execution has resource
+implications (goroutines, module construction overhead). Extensions that
+don't need it shouldn't pay for it. The permission doesn't imply any
+other permissions — the branch inherits whatever modules the calling
+package already has.
+
+---
+
+## Execution Model
+
+```
+batch.exec([fn_a, fn_b, fn_c])
+    │
+    ├─── goroutine 1: Thread₁ + Modules₁ → fn_a() → result[0]
+    ├─── goroutine 2: Thread₂ + Modules₂ → fn_b() → result[1]
+    └─── goroutine 3: Thread₃ + Modules₃ → fn_c() → result[2]
+    │
+    sync.WaitGroup.Wait()
+    │
+    return (results, errors)
+```
+
+### Per-Branch Construction
+
+For each callable in the input list, the kernel:
+
+1. Creates a new `sandbox.Sandbox` with the same `Config` as the parent
+   (same `MaxSteps` limit — each branch gets its own step budget, not a
+   shared one).
+2. Calls `runner.buildModulesWithLibCtx()` with the **same** `packageID`,
+   `manifest`, and `RunContext` as the parent invocation. This produces
+   a fresh module set — new `DBModuleConfig`, new `HTTPModuleConfig`, etc.
+   — pointing at the same underlying Go resources (`*sql.DB`, etc.).
+3. The `libContext` is **shared** (read path only — cached frozen exports).
+   Library exports are immutable. The `loading` map (cycle detection) is
+   not relevant because libraries are already loaded before `batch.exec`
+   runs. If a branch triggers a new `lib.require()`, it would need its
+   own `libContext` — see Open Questions.
+4. Creates a new `starlark.Thread` with the branch's print handler,
+   step limit, and context-based cancellation.
+5. Calls `starlark.Call(thread, callable, nil, nil)` — the callable
+   is a zero-arg lambda that closes over its arguments.
+
+### Context & Cancellation
+
+Each branch gets a child context derived from the parent with the
+per-branch timeout applied:
+
+```go
+branchCtx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(parentCtx, branchTimeout)
+defer cancel()
+```
+
+If the parent context is cancelled (e.g., HTTP request timeout), all
+branches are cancelled. If one branch exceeds its timeout, only that
+branch is cancelled — others continue.
+
+### Goroutine Cap
+
+Hard limit: **8 concurrent branches.** This is enforced at the API
+boundary (list length check), not via a semaphore. Rationale:
+
+- 8 covers the real-world fan-out patterns (2-5 API calls, small batch
+  operations). Nobody needs 50 concurrent Starlark branches.
+- Each branch allocates a `starlark.Thread` + module instances. At 8
+  branches, overhead is bounded at ~8KB per thread + module construction
+  time (~50μs per module set).
+- No semaphore means no queuing surprises. You get 8, period.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation
+
+### New File: `sandbox/batch_module.go`
+
+```go
+// BuildBatchModule creates the "batch" module.
+// Requires the Runner reference for per-branch module construction.
+func BuildBatchModule(
+    ctx context.Context,
+    runner *Runner,
+    packageID string,
+    manifest map[string]any,
+    rc *RunContext,
+    lc *libContext,
+) *starlarkstruct.Module
+```
+
+The module holds a reference to the `Runner` — same pattern as
+`BuildLibModule`. It needs the runner to call `buildModulesWithLibCtx`
+for each branch.
+
+### Core Implementation Sketch
+
+```go
+func batchExec(ctx context.Context, runner *Runner, packageID string,
+    manifest map[string]any, rc *RunContext, parentLC *libContext,
+) func(*starlark.Thread, *starlark.Builtin, starlark.Tuple, []starlark.Tuple) (starlark.Value, error) {
+    return func(thread *starlark.Thread, b *starlark.Builtin,
+        args starlark.Tuple, kwargs []starlark.Tuple,
+    ) (starlark.Value, error) {
+        var callableList *starlark.List
+        var timeout int = 10
+
+        if err := starlark.UnpackArgs(b.Name(), args, kwargs,
+            "callables", &callableList,
+            "timeout?", &timeout,
+        ); err != nil {
+            return nil, err
+        }
+
+        n := callableList.Len()
+        if n == 0 {
+            return nil, fmt.Errorf("batch.exec: callables list is empty")
+        }
+        if n > 8 {
+            return nil, fmt.Errorf("batch.exec: max 8 callables, got %d", n)
+        }
+        if timeout < 1 || timeout > 30 {
+            timeout = 10
+        }
+
+        // Validate all elements are callable.
+        callables := make([]starlark.Callable, n)
+        for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
+            c, ok := callableList.Index(i).(starlark.Callable)
+            if !ok {
+                return nil, fmt.Errorf("batch.exec: element %d is %s, not callable",
+                    i, callableList.Index(i).Type())
+            }
+            callables[i] = c
+        }
+
+        // Execute concurrently.
+        type branchResult struct {
+            index int
+            value starlark.Value
+            err   error
+        }
+
+        results := make([]starlark.Value, n)
+        errors := make([]starlark.Value, n)
+        var wg sync.WaitGroup
+
+        for i, callable := range callables {
+            wg.Add(1)
+            go func(idx int, fn starlark.Callable) {
+                defer wg.Done()
+
+                // Per-branch context with timeout.
+                branchCtx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx,
+                    time.Duration(timeout)*time.Second)
+                defer cancel()
+
+                // Fresh module set for this branch.
+                modules, err := runner.buildModulesWithLibCtx(
+                    branchCtx, packageID, manifest, rc, parentLC)
+                if err != nil {
+                    results[idx] = starlark.None
+                    errors[idx] = starlark.String(err.Error())
+                    return
+                }
+
+                // Fresh sandbox + thread.
+                sb := New(DefaultConfig())
+                val, _, callErr := sb.Call(branchCtx, fn, nil, nil)
+
+                if callErr != nil {
+                    results[idx] = starlark.None
+                    errors[idx] = starlark.String(callErr.Error())
+                } else {
+                    results[idx] = val
+                    errors[idx] = starlark.None
+                }
+            }(i, callable)
+        }
+
+        wg.Wait()
+
+        return starlark.Tuple{
+            starlark.NewList(results),
+            starlark.NewList(errors),
+        }, nil
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Runner Wiring
+
+In `buildModulesWithLibCtx`, add the permission case:
+
+```go
+case models.ExtPermBatchExec:
+    // Deferred — wired after module map is complete (needs runner ref).
+    hasBatchExec = true
+```
+
+After the module map is assembled:
+
+```go
+if hasBatchExec {
+    modules["batch"] = BuildBatchModule(ctx, r, packageID, manifest, rc, lc)
+}
+```
+
+### Permission Constant
+
+In `models/permissions.go`:
+
+```go
+ExtPermBatchExec = "batch.exec"
+```
+
+Add to `AllExtensionPermissions` slice.
+
+---
+
+## Callable Closure Semantics
+
+The callables passed to `batch.exec` are typically lambdas that close
+over variables from the calling scope:
+
+```python
+issue_data = {"summary": "Review Q3 report"}
+page_data  = {"title": "Q3 Report", "body": content}
+
+results, errors = batch.exec([
+    lambda: jira.create_issue(issue_data),
+    lambda: confluence.create_page(page_data),
+])
+```
+
+The closed-over values (`issue_data`, `page_data`, `jira`, `confluence`)
+are references to Starlark values in the calling thread's scope. Two
+safety properties make this work:
+
+1. **Library exports (`jira`, `confluence`) are frozen.** They were
+   returned by `lib.require()` as `starlarkstruct.FromStringDict()` —
+   deeply immutable. Safe to read from any goroutine.
+
+2. **Dict/list arguments may be mutable**, but Starlark's execution
+   model means the calling thread is **blocked** waiting for
+   `batch.exec` to return. No concurrent mutation is possible because
+   the caller can't execute while the branches are running.
+
+This is the same safety model as Go's `sync.WaitGroup` pattern: the
+goroutine that calls `wg.Wait()` cannot proceed until all goroutines
+complete, so values passed to goroutines before `wg.Add` are safe to
+read without locks.
+
+---
+
+## Open Questions
+
+### 1. `lib.require()` Inside Branches
+
+If a callable triggers a `lib.require()` that hasn't been cached yet,
+the shared `libContext.cache` would be written from a goroutine. Options:
+
+**A. Prohibit: branches cannot call `lib.require()`.** The branch gets
+a nil `libContext`, so `lib` module is unavailable inside `batch.exec`.
+Libraries must be loaded before the batch call. Simplest, safest.
+
+**B. Per-branch `libContext` with shared read cache.** Each branch gets
+its own `libContext` whose `cache` is pre-populated from the parent's
+cache (snapshot). New loads go into the branch's local cache only.
+Slightly wasteful if two branches load the same library (loaded twice),
+but safe.
+
+**C. Mutex-protected shared `libContext`.** Add a `sync.RWMutex` to
+`libContext`. Reads use `RLock`, writes use `Lock`. Minimal overhead,
+but makes `libContext` aware of concurrency — violates its current
+assumptions.
+
+**Recommendation: Option A for v0.7.11, Option B as follow-up if needed.**
+In practice, extensions call `lib.require()` at module scope (top of
+script), not inside request handlers. The lambdas passed to `batch.exec`
+call methods on already-loaded library structs. Option A covers all
+real-world patterns.
+
+### 2. Print Output
+
+Each branch has its own print buffer (the `output strings.Builder` in
+`Sandbox.Call`). Options:
+
+**A. Discard.** Branch print output is lost. Simple, avoids interleaving.
+
+**B. Collect per-branch.** Return a third list: `(results, errors, outputs)`.
+Useful for debugging but clutters the API.
+
+**C. Merge into parent.** Append all branch output to the parent thread's
+print buffer, prefixed with branch index. Requires passing the parent's
+`outputMu` and `output` builder — invasive.
+
+**Recommendation: Option A for v0.7.11.** `print()` in Starlark is a
+debugging tool, not a production logging facility. Branch callables that
+need to report status should return structured data. If debugging demand
+emerges, Option B is a backward-compatible addition.
+
+### 3. Step Limit Scope
+
+Each branch gets its own `MaxSteps` budget (default 1M). Should the
+total across all branches be capped?
+
+**No.** The per-branch cap is sufficient. 8 branches × 1M steps = 8M
+total, which completes in under a second on any modern hardware. The
+wall-clock timeout (per-branch, max 30s) is the real resource guard.
+Adding a cross-branch step budget creates coupling between independent
+execution paths — branch A's step count shouldn't affect branch B's
+ability to complete.
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+| Test | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| Parallel ordering | 3 callables with different sleep durations. Results in input order, not completion order. |
+| Partial failure | 3 callables, middle one raises error. results = [val, None, val], errors = [None, "err msg", None]. |
+| Timeout per-branch | One callable sleeps beyond timeout. Others succeed. Timed-out branch returns error. |
+| Parent cancellation | Cancel parent context mid-execution. All branches cancelled. |
+| Cap enforcement | List of 9 callables → immediate error, nothing executed. |
+| Empty list | `batch.exec([])` → error. |
+| Non-callable element | `batch.exec([1, 2])` → error, nothing executed. |
+| Permission gating | Package without `batch.exec` permission → module not available. |
+| Frozen library sharing | Two branches call same frozen library function concurrently. No race. |
+| Nested batch.exec | Callable inside batch.exec attempts batch.exec → error (module not injected in branch). |
+| db module isolation | Two branches insert into same table concurrently. Both succeed, no corruption. |
+| http module isolation | Two branches make HTTP calls with different headers. No cross-contamination. |
+
+---
+
+## Migration
+
+No schema changes. No new tables. No new migrations.
+
+New permission constant `batch.exec` added to `models/permissions.go`.
+Extensions must declare the permission in their manifest to access the
+`batch` module.

+# DESIGN — Extension Composability
+
+**Version:** v0.8.5
+**Status:** Implemented
+**Author:** Jeff / Claude session 2026-04-02
+
+---
+
+## Problem
+
+Extensions cannot meaningfully compose with each other. A Notes surface
+can't accept toolbar buttons from an STT extension. An LLM bridge can't
+invoke an image generator's functions. A chat surface can't display action
+buttons contributed by an image-editing extension.
+
+The runtime primitives for contribution exist — `sw.slots`, `sw.actions`,
+and `sw.renderers` are live in the SDK. But there is no manifest layer
+to declare the relationships, no backend mechanism for non-library packages
+to call each other's exported functions, and no conventions for slot
+naming or context contracts.
+
+This blocks the entire "extensions extending extensions" pattern that
+makes the platform an ecosystem rather than a collection of packages.
+
+---
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- Arbitrary inter-extension communication (message passing, shared memory).
+  Extensions compose through declared slots, exported functions, and events.
+- Runtime dependency injection. Dependencies are declared in manifests and
+  resolved at load time.
+- Extension sandboxing on the frontend. Browser-tier JS runs in the same
+  page context. Isolation is by convention and code review, not enforcement.
+
+---
+
+## What Already Exists
+
+Three SDK registries are live and functional:
+
+**`sw.slots`** — Named UI injection points. `register(name, {id, component, priority})`
+adds a Preact component to a named slot. `get(name)` returns sorted entries.
+Emits `slots.changed` events. Dedup by id. Priority ordering.
+
+**`sw.actions`** — Named callable actions. `register(id, {handler, label, icon})`
+exposes a function by name. `run(id, ...args)` invokes it. Cross-extension
+function calls on the frontend.
+
+**`sw.renderers`** — Block and post renderers for markdown content.
+`register(name, {type, pattern, render})`. Already used by mermaid, KaTeX,
+CSV, and diff extensions.
+
+**`lib.require()`** — Backend cross-package function calls. Starlark
+packages call exported functions from library packages with the library's
+own permission context.
+
+The gap: `sw.slots` has no manifest awareness — the admin can't see which
+extensions contribute where, install/uninstall can't warn about orphaned
+contributions. `lib.require()` is restricted to `type: "library"` packages,
+so a full package like an image generator can't export callable functions.
+There are no conventions for slot naming or context contracts.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+Three additions: manifest declarations, backend relaxation, and SDK helpers.
+
+### 1. Manifest Declarations
+
+#### Host Surfaces: `slots` Field
+
+Surfaces declare named injection points with context descriptions:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "notes",
+  "slots": {
+    "toolbar-actions": {
+      "description": "Toolbar action buttons",
+      "context": {
+        "noteId": "string — current note ID",
+        "getContent": "function — returns note body text",
+        "setContent": "function — replaces note body text"
+      }
+    },
+    "note-footer": {
+      "description": "Content rendered below note body",
+      "context": {
+        "noteId": "string",
+        "content": "string — rendered HTML content"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "chat",
+  "slots": {
+    "message-actions": {
+      "description": "Action buttons on individual messages",
+      "context": {
+        "messageId": "string",
+        "content": "string — message text",
+        "attachments": "array — [{url, type, name}]"
+      }
+    },
+    "image-actions": {
+      "description": "Action buttons overlaid on rendered images",
+      "context": {
+        "imageUrl": "string",
+        "messageId": "string",
+        "metadata": "object — generation params if available"
+      }
+    },
+    "composer-tools": {
+      "description": "Tool buttons in the message composer area",
+      "context": {
+        "conversationId": "string",
+        "insertText": "function — appends to composer"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `context` field is documentation, not enforcement. It tells extension
+authors what data the slot provides. The kernel parses and stores slot
+declarations but does not validate context shapes at runtime.
+
+#### Contributing Extensions: `contributes` Field
+
+Extensions declare which slots they inject into:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "note-dictate",
+  "title": "Note Dictation",
+  "type": "extension",
+  "tier": "browser",

+      "icon": "🎤",
+      "description": "Voice-to-text note dictation"
+    }
+  },
+  "permissions": ["api.http"]

+  },
+  "exports": ["inpaint", "outpaint", "upscale", "restyle"],
+  "permissions": ["api.http", "connections.read", "files.write"]
+}
+```
+
+**Slot naming convention:** `{host-package-id}:{slot-name}`. The colon
+separates namespace from slot. Extensions contributing to `notes:toolbar-actions`
+are declaring a relationship with the `notes` package.
+
+#### What the Kernel Does with Declarations
+
+**At install time:**
+- Parse `slots` field → store in manifest (no separate table needed).
+- Parse `contributes` field → validate that each target slot name follows
+  the `{pkg}:{slot}` convention. Do NOT validate that the host package
+  exists — contributing extensions can be installed before or after their
+  host. Soft coupling.
+- Parse `exports` field → already stored in manifest. No changes needed.
+
+**At admin display time:**
+- `GET /api/v1/admin/packages/:id` includes `slots` and `contributes`
+  from manifest. Admin UI shows "This package provides X slots" and
+  "This package contributes to Y slots."
+- New endpoint: `GET /api/v1/admin/slots` → returns a map of all declared
+  slots across installed packages with their contributors. Built by
+  scanning all package manifests — no new table.
+
+**At uninstall time:**
+- If uninstalling a package that declares `slots`, check if any enabled
+  packages declare `contributes` targeting those slots. Warn (not block):
+  "Uninstalling 'notes' will orphan contributions from: note-dictate,
+  note-ai." The admin decides.
+- If uninstalling a contributing package, no warning needed — the slot
+  just has fewer entries.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Backend: `lib.require()` Relaxation
+
+Currently `lib.require()` enforces `libPkg.Type == "library"`. This
+prevents full packages (which have surfaces, settings, UI) from also
+exporting callable functions.
+
+**Change:** Replace the type check with an exports check.
+
+In `sandbox/lib_module.go`, the current guard:
+
+```go
+if libPkg.Type != "library" {
+    return nil, fmt.Errorf("lib.require: package %q is type %q, not library", libraryID, libPkg.Type)
+}
+```
+
+Becomes:
+
+```go
+exports := extractExports(libPkg.Manifest)
+if len(exports) == 0 {
+    return nil, fmt.Errorf("lib.require: package %q declares no exports", libraryID)
+}
+```
+
+Any package that declares `"exports": [...]` is callable via `lib.require()`,
+regardless of type. The dependency check (`ListByConsumer`) remains
+enforced — the consumer must still declare `"depends": ["image-gen"]`
+in its manifest.
+
+The `depends` field already accepts any package ID, not just libraries.
+The `DependencyStore` has no type check. This change is one line in
+`lib_module.go`.
+
+**Security implication:** A full package's exported functions run with
+that package's own permissions, same as libraries today. An image-gen
+package with `api.http` + `files.write` permissions exposes `generate()`
+— when llm-bridge calls it, it runs with image-gen's permissions, not
+llm-bridge's. This is correct and already how `lib.require()` works.
+
+---
+
+### 3. SDK Additions
+
+#### `sw.slots.renderAll(name, context)` Helper
+
+Currently host surfaces must manually iterate slot entries:
+
+```javascript
+const entries = sw.slots.get('notes:toolbar-actions');
+return entries.map(e => html`<${e.component} ...${ctx} />`);
+```
+
+Add a convenience helper:
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Render all components registered in a slot.
+ * @param {string} name — slot name
+ * @param {object} context — props passed to each component
+ * @returns {Array<VNode>} — array of rendered vnodes
+ */
+renderAll(name, context = {}) {
+    return this.get(name).map(e => {
+        try {
+            return e.component(context);
+        } catch (err) {
+            console.error(`[sw.slots] Error rendering "${e.id}" in slot "${name}":`, err);
+            return null;
+        }
+    }).filter(Boolean);
+}
+```
+
+Host surface usage becomes:
+
+```javascript
+// In Notes toolbar:
+html`<div class="notes-toolbar">
+    <button onclick=${save}>Save</button>
+    ${sw.slots.renderAll('notes:toolbar-actions', {
+        noteId: currentNote.id,
+        getContent: () => editor.getValue(),
+        setContent: (text) => editor.setValue(text)
+    })}
+</div>`
+```
+
+#### `sw.slots.declare(name, description)` (Optional)
+
+Runtime declaration for slots that don't appear in the manifest (e.g.,
+dynamically created slots). Mostly for discoverability — the debug panel
+can list all active slots whether manifest-declared or runtime-declared.
+
+```javascript
+// In chat surface, when rendering an image:
+sw.slots.declare('chat:image-actions', 'Action buttons on images');
+```
+
+Not enforced — `sw.slots.register()` works on any name regardless.
+This is a documentation/debugging aid only.
+
+---
+
+## Composition Patterns
+
+### Pattern A: LLM Tool Registration
+
+LLM bridge exposes a tool registry. Tool extensions register at load time
+via `lib.require()` on the backend and `sw.actions` on the frontend.
+
+**llm-bridge (library) — script.star:**
+```python
+_tools = {}
+
+def register_tool(name, description, parameters, handler):
+    """Register a callable tool for LLM function calling."""
+    _tools[name] = {
+        "name": name,
+        "description": description,
+        "parameters": parameters,
+        "handler": handler,
+    }
+
+def complete(messages, tools=None):
+    """Send messages to LLM with registered tools available."""
+    tool_schemas = []
+    for t in _tools.values():
+        tool_schemas.append({
+            "name": t["name"],
+            "description": t["description"],
+            "parameters": t["parameters"],
+        })
+    # ... call LLM API with tool_schemas, handle tool_use responses
+    # by dispatching to _tools[name]["handler"]
+```
+
+**image-gen (full package) — script.star:**
+```python
+llm = lib.require("llm-bridge")
+
+def generate(prompt, model="dall-e-3", size="1024x1024", seed=None):
+    conn = connections.get("openai")
+    # ... call API, store result in files module ...
+    return {"image_url": url, "prompt": prompt, "seed": actual_seed}
+
+# Register as LLM tool at load time
+llm.register_tool(
+    name="generate_image",
+    description="Generate an image from a text description",
+    parameters={"prompt": "string", "size": "string"},
+    handler=generate,
+)
+```
+
+### Pattern B: UI Contribution (Toolbar Buttons)
+
+**note-dictate (extension) — js/index.js:**
+```javascript
+sw.slots.register('notes:toolbar-actions', {
+    id: 'note-dictate',
+    priority: 200,
+    component: ({ noteId, setContent, getContent }) => {
+        const [recording, setRecording] = preact.useState(false);
+
+        const toggle = async () => {
+            if (recording) {
+                // Stop recording, send audio to STT api_route
+                const text = await sw.api.ext('note-dictate').post('/transcribe', {
+                    audio: audioBlob
+                });
+                setContent(getContent() + '\n' + text.transcription);
+                setRecording(false);
+            } else {
+                // Start recording
+                setRecording(true);
+            }
+        };
+
+        return html`<button class="sw-btn sw-btn--ghost"
+                            onclick=${toggle}
+                            title="Dictate">
+            ${recording ? '⏹' : '🎤'}
+        </button>`;
+    }
+});
+```
+
+**notes (surface) — toolbar rendering:**
+```javascript
+html`<div class="notes-toolbar__actions">
+    <button onclick=${() => saveNote()}>💾</button>
+    <button onclick=${() => togglePin()}>📌</button>
+    ${sw.slots.renderAll('notes:toolbar-actions', {
+        noteId: note.id,
+        getContent: () => editor.getValue(),
+        setContent: (text) => editor.setValue(text),
+    })}
+</div>`
+```
+
+Notes doesn't know dictation exists. Dictation doesn't know Notes'
+internals — just the slot contract (noteId, getContent, setContent).
+
+### Pattern C: Image Actions (Generate + Edit + Upscale)
+
+Three independent extensions contribute to the same image display slot:
+
+**chat surface — image rendering:**
+```javascript
+function ChatImage({ src, messageId, metadata }) {
+    return html`<div class="chat-image">
+        <img src=${src} />
+        <div class="chat-image__actions">
+            ${sw.slots.renderAll('chat:image-actions', {
+                imageUrl: src,
+                messageId,
+                metadata,
+            })}
+        </div>
+    </div>`;
+}
+```
+
+**image-gen — contributes regen button:**
+```javascript
+sw.slots.register('chat:image-actions', {
+    id: 'image-gen:regenerate',
+    priority: 100,
+    component: ({ imageUrl, metadata }) => {
+        const regen = async () => {
+            // Open prompt editor with original params
+            const params = await sw.prompt('Edit prompt', {
+                default: metadata?.prompt || '',
+                multiline: true,
+            });
+            if (!params) return;
+            const result = await sw.api.ext('image-gen').post('/generate', {
+                prompt: params,
+                seed: metadata?.seed,
+                negative_prompt: metadata?.negative_prompt,
+            });
+            // result triggers a new chat message with the generated image
+        };
+
+        return html`<button class="sw-btn sw-btn--sm" onclick=${regen} title="Regenerate">
+            🔄
+        </button>`;
+    }
+});
+```
+
+**image-edit — contributes edit drawer:**
+```javascript
+sw.slots.register('chat:image-actions', {
+    id: 'image-edit:edit',
+    priority: 200,
+    component: ({ imageUrl, metadata }) => {
+        const openEditor = () => {
+            // Open a drawer with editing options
+            sw.emit('drawer.open', {
+                title: 'Edit Image',
+                component: ImageEditPanel,
+                props: { imageUrl, metadata },
+            });
+        };
+
+        return html`<button class="sw-btn sw-btn--sm" onclick=${openEditor} title="Edit">
+            ✏️
+        </button>`;
+    }
+});
+```
+
+**image-upscale — contributes upscale button:**
+```javascript
+sw.slots.register('chat:image-actions', {
+    id: 'image-upscale:upscale',
+    priority: 300,
+    component: ({ imageUrl }) => {
+        const upscale = async () => {
+            const result = await sw.api.ext('image-upscale').post('/upscale', {
+                image_url: imageUrl,
+                scale: 2,
+            });
+            // Display or replace with upscaled image
+        };
+
+        return html`<button class="sw-btn sw-btn--sm" onclick=${upscale} title="Upscale 2×">
+            🔍
+        </button>`;
+    }
+});
+```
+
+Result: an image in chat gets three action buttons from three separate
+extensions. Install one, get one button. Install all three, get all three.
+Uninstall one, the others keep working. The chat surface has no knowledge
+of any of them.
+
+### Pattern D: LLM Note Restructuring
+
+Combines backend composability (lib.require) with frontend contribution
+(slots):
+
+**note-ai (extension) — manifest.json:**
+```json
+{
+  "id": "note-ai",
+  "type": "extension",
+  "tier": "starlark",
+  "depends": ["llm-bridge"],
+  "contributes": {
+    "notes:toolbar-actions": {
+      "label": "AI Restructure",
+      "icon": "✨"
+    }
+  },
+  "permissions": ["api.http"],
+  "settings": {
+    "restructure_prompt": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "label": "Restructure Prompt",
+      "description": "System prompt for AI note restructuring",
+      "default": "Restructure the following note into clear sections with headers. Preserve all information. Use markdown formatting.",
+      "user_overridable": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**note-ai — script.star (api_route handler):**
+```python
+llm = lib.require("llm-bridge")
+
+def on_request(req):
+    if req["method"] == "POST" and req["path"] == "/restructure":
+        content = req["body"]["content"]
+        prompt = settings.get("restructure_prompt")
+        result = llm.complete([
+            {"role": "system", "content": prompt},
+            {"role": "user", "content": content},
+        ])
+        return {"status": 200, "body": {"restructured": result["text"]}}
+```
+
+**note-ai — js/index.js:**
+```javascript
+sw.slots.register('notes:toolbar-actions', {
+    id: 'note-ai:restructure',
+    priority: 500,
+    component: ({ noteId, getContent, setContent }) => {
+        const [loading, setLoading] = preact.useState(false);
+
+        const restructure = async () => {
+            setLoading(true);
+            try {
+                const result = await sw.api.ext('note-ai').post('/restructure', {
+                    content: getContent()
+                });
+                setContent(result.restructured);
+                sw.toast('Note restructured', 'success');
+            } catch (e) {
+                sw.toast('Restructure failed: ' + e.message, 'error');
+            } finally {
+                setLoading(false);
+            }
+        };
+
+        return html`<button class="sw-btn sw-btn--ghost"
+                            onclick=${restructure}
+                            disabled=${loading}
+                            title="AI Restructure">
+            ${loading ? '⏳' : '✨'}
+        </button>`;
+    }
+});
+```
+
+The user configures their restructuring prompt in Settings. The button
+appears in Notes toolbar. Clicking it sends the note content to the
+api_route, which calls llm-bridge, which calls the configured LLM provider.
+Four packages involved (notes, note-ai, llm-bridge, the LLM connection),
+zero hardcoded dependencies between surfaces.
+

+
+## Kernel Changes
+
+### Modified Files
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `sandbox/lib_module.go` | Replace type check with exports check (~1 line) |
+| `handlers/extensions.go` | Parse `contributes` and `slots` manifest fields (validation) |
+| `handlers/packages.go` | Uninstall warning for orphaned contributions |
+| `src/js/sw/sdk/slots.js` | Add `renderAll(name, context)` and `declare(name, desc)` |
+| `docs/PACKAGE-FORMAT.md` | Document `slots`, `contributes`, `exports` fields |
+| `docs/EXTENSION-GUIDE.md` | Composability patterns section |
+
+### New Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `handlers/admin_slots.go` | `GET /admin/slots` aggregation endpoint |
+
+### No New:
+
+- Database tables
+- Migrations
+- Starlark modules
+- Permission constants
+- Config env vars
+
+This is deliberately small. The runtime infrastructure exists. The
+design adds manifest-level visibility, one backend guard relaxation,
+and one SDK helper. The composability comes from conventions and
+documentation, not kernel complexity.
+
+---
+
+## Slot Catalog (Initial)
+
+These are the recommended slots for first-party packages. Extension
+authors may define additional slots following the naming convention.
+
+| Slot | Host | Context | Use Case |
+|------|------|---------|----------|
+| `notes:toolbar-actions` | notes | noteId, getContent, setContent | Dictation, AI tools, formatting |
+| `notes:note-footer` | notes | noteId, content | Related items, AI summary, metadata |
+| `chat:composer-tools` | chat | conversationId, insertText | Image gen, file attach, slash commands |
+| `chat:message-actions` | chat | messageId, content, attachments | Reactions, translate, bookmark |
+| `chat:image-actions` | chat | imageUrl, messageId, metadata | Regen, edit, upscale, style transfer |
+| `schedules:event-actions` | schedules | eventId, event | Add to calendar, share, convert to task |
+| `admin:package-actions` | admin | packageId, package | Custom admin tools per package |
+
+Each host surface adds `sw.slots.renderAll()` calls at the appropriate
+locations. Extensions contribute via `sw.slots.register()` in their JS.
+The manifest `contributes` field makes the relationship visible to admins.
+
+---
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+- **Slot schema validation.** Currently context contracts are documentation
+  only. A runtime assertion mode (dev only) could warn when a contributor
+  receives unexpected props. Deferred — convention is sufficient pre-1.0.
+
+- **Slot visibility controls.** An admin might want to disable a specific
+  contribution without disabling the entire contributing extension. A
+  per-contribution enable/disable toggle in the admin UI. Deferred —
+  extension enable/disable is the current granularity.
+
+- **Cross-surface slot contributions.** An extension contributing to
+  `notes:toolbar-actions` AND `chat:message-actions` with the same
+  underlying logic but different UI. The `contributes` field already
+  supports multiple entries. The extension's JS registers into both
+  slots with slot-appropriate components.
+
+- **Backend event subscriptions between extensions.** Currently extensions
+  react to kernel events via `hooks`. Extension-to-extension events
+  (e.g., "image-gen completed" → "chat refreshes") flow through the
+  existing event bus — the generating extension's api_route publishes
+  via `realtime.publish()`, the consuming surface listens via
+  `sw.realtime.subscribe()`. No new primitive needed.

+# DESIGN: Notes Reference Extension — v0.11.x
+
+## Status: Proposed
+
+## Purpose
+
+Notes becomes the first **reference extension** — a first-party package
+that exercises every kernel primitive and proves the platform is capable
+of delivering a production-quality application. This is not a toy demo;
+it is the answer to "what can you build on Armature?"
+
+The v0.11.x series takes the existing notes package (folders, tags,
+wikilinks, graph, CM6 editor, three view modes) and builds it into a
+full-featured knowledge base comparable to Obsidian, Notion, or Logseq —
+but running on Armature's extension architecture.
+
+**The UI must be clean, inviting, and genuinely enjoyable to use.** The
+current notes surface is functional but visually mechanical — no
+personality, no micro-interactions, no sense of craft. If the reference
+extension feels like a developer prototype, the platform pitch fails
+regardless of how many kernel primitives it exercises. v0.11.0 is a
+full visual redesign before any feature work begins, and every subsequent
+version ships with UX quality built in, not bolted on.
+
+### What Notes Exercises
+
+| Kernel Primitive | How Notes Uses It |
+|-----------------|-------------------|
+| `db.write` | Notes, folders, tags, links, shares tables |
+| `sw.renderers` | Markdown rendering pipeline, custom block renderers |
+| `sw.panels` | `notes.reference` panel (from v0.10.4) |
+| `sw.slots` | Declares `notes:toolbar-actions`, `notes:note-footer` for extension composition |
+| `sw.events` | Realtime updates, panel ↔ surface communication |
+| `sw.markdown` | Unified markdown rendering with wikilink extensions |
+| `sw.shell.topbar` | Topbar slots for navigation context |
+| `sw.storage` | Editor state, sidebar collapse, preferences |
+| `sw.actions` | Exports `notes.create`, `notes.search` for cross-package calls |
+| Resource grants | Note and folder sharing via kernel permission model |
+| Starlark sandbox | All backend logic in `script.star` |
+| Settings cascade | Per-user editor mode, default view, daily note folder |
+| Surfaces | Multi-surface: full editor + public read-only surface |
+
+---
+
+## What Already Exists (v0.9.0)
+
+### Frontend (1,806 lines — `js/main.js`)
+
+- **NotesApp** — main shell with sidebar + editor layout
+- **FolderTree / FolderNode** — tree with expand/collapse, context menu,
+  drag-and-drop note→folder, rename, create sub-folder (schema has
+  `parent_id`, UI renders depth)
+- **NoteCard** — list items with title, snippet, date, tags, drag handle
+- **TagInput / TagFilter** — tag CRUD with autocomplete
+- **EditorPane** — three view modes (rendered / edit / split), CodeMirror
+  6 integration with textarea fallback, auto-save, frontmatter parsing
+- **BacklinksPanel** — lists notes that link to the current note
+- **SidebarTabs** — Notes / Outline tabs
+- **SidebarOutline** — heading tree parsed from markdown body
+- **GraphPane** — canvas-based force-directed graph with folder coloring,
+  orphan hiding, focus mode, pan/zoom
+- **Export** — download note as `.md` with frontmatter
+
+### Backend (23K — `script.star`)
+
+- Full CRUD: notes, folders, tags
+- Wikilink extraction (`_extract_wikilinks`) and link resolution
+  (`_sync_links`) on every note save
+- Links / backlinks queries
+- Graph data endpoint (nodes + edges)
+- Search (title + body substring)
+- Stats endpoint
+- Folder CRUD with `parent_id`
+
+### Schema (4 tables)
+
+- `notes` — title, body, folder_id, creator_id, updated_at, pinned, archived
+- `tags` — note_id, tag
+- `links` — source_id, target_id, link_text
+- `folders` — name, parent_id, creator_id, sort_order
+
+### Current CSS (795 lines — `css/main.css`)
+
+Functional but visually flat. No animations, no keyframes, no
+micro-interactions. Identical `transition: var(--transition)` on every
+hover. No typographic hierarchy beyond font-size/weight. No visual
+rhythm. Sidebar and editor feel like admin panels, not a writing tool.
+
+---
+
+## Version Plan
+
+### v0.11.0 — UI/UX Foundation
+
+**Goal:** Complete visual redesign of the notes surface. Every pixel
+intentional. Every interaction feels crafted. This is the foundation
+that all subsequent feature versions build on.
+
+This is NOT a "make it pretty" pass on the existing CSS. It is a
+ground-up rethink of the notes UI with the understanding that this is
+the first thing people see when evaluating what Armature can do.
+
+**Design principles for notes:**
+
+- **Writing-first.** The editor area dominates. Generous whitespace.
+  Nothing competes for attention with the content the user is writing.
+- **Quiet chrome, loud content.** Sidebar, toolbar, and navigation fade
+  into the background. The note body is the visual anchor — clean
+  typography, comfortable line height, readable measure (60–80 chars).
+- **Progressive disclosure.** Folder tree, tags, backlinks, graph — all
+  there but not all visible simultaneously. Contextual — show what's
+  relevant to what the user is doing right now.
+- **Micro-interactions that feel alive.** Folder expand/collapse with
+  rotation animation. Note cards with subtle lift on hover. Smooth
+  sidebar resize. Mode transitions that animate, not snap. Save
+  indicator that pulses, not just appears.
+- **Personality without kitsch.** The UI should feel like a well-designed
+  indie app, not a Material Design template and not a Bootstrap theme.
+
+**Specific deliverables:**
+
+**Typography overhaul:**
+- Rendered note body: system serif stack for body text (Georgia, serif
+  fallback) at 16px/1.7 line height. Headings in the system sans stack.
+  Comfortable reading measure — `max-width: 720px` centered in the
+  editor area with generous padding. Code blocks with distinct
+  background and a monospace stack.
+- Editor (CM6): matching font size and line height so switching between
+  rendered/edit mode doesn't jar. CM6 theme tokens aligned with note
+  design tokens.
+- Sidebar text: smaller (13px), tighter, utility font. Clear hierarchy
+  between folder names, note titles, snippet text, dates.
+
+**Sidebar redesign:**
+- **Resizable** — drag handle between sidebar and editor. Width persisted.
+  Smooth resize with no layout jank.
+- **Collapsible** — collapse to a thin icon strip (folder + search +
+  graph icons) on narrow viewports or by user choice. Expand on hover
+  or click. Collapse state persisted.
+- **Folder tree polish:** Indent guides (subtle vertical lines connecting
+  parent→child). Folder icons that change on expand (open folder / closed
+  folder, not just a triangle). Drop target highlighting with animation
+  (not just background color change). Smooth height animation on
+  expand/collapse.
+- **Note cards:** Subtle left border color-coded by folder (pulls from a
+  soft palette, not harsh primaries). Title, snippet, relative date
+  ("3h ago" not "2026-04-03T12:34"). Tag pills with rounded, muted
+  styling. Pin indicator as a subtle icon, not a text label.
+- **Search:** Inline search with clear button. Results highlight matching
+  text. Smooth appear/disappear.
+
+**Editor redesign:**
+- **Header:** Title input styled as a large heading (not an input field
+  with a border). Folder breadcrumb below title in muted text. Toolbar
+  actions as icon buttons with tooltips — no text labels cluttering the
+  header. Save status indicator (saved ✓ / saving… / unsaved •) as a
+  small, elegant badge.
+- **Mode switcher:** Segmented control (Read / Edit / Split) replacing
+  the cycling button. Clear visual state.
+- **Rendered view:** Clean markdown rendering with proper spacing between
+  elements. Block quotes with a left accent border. Tables with subtle
+  borders and alternating row tinting. Inline code with pill-style
+  background. Links with underline on hover only.
+- **Empty editor state:** "Select a note or create a new one" with a
+  softly illustrated empty state — not a plain text message.
+
+**Graph visual refresh:**
+- Dark-on-light node rendering with soft shadows (not flat circles with
+  outlines). Node labels that appear on hover with smooth fade-in.
+  Edge rendering with slight curves (not straight lines). Background
+  subtle dot grid.
+
+**Transitions and animations:**
+- Sidebar expand/collapse: 200ms ease-out slide.
+- Folder tree expand/collapse: 150ms height animation with children
+  fading in.
+- Note card hover: subtle translateY(-1px) + box-shadow lift.
+- View mode switch: crossfade (100ms fade out → swap → 100ms fade in).
+- Save indicator: pulse animation on "saving", check mark with brief
+  scale-up on "saved".
+- Graph node hover: scale(1.2) with spring easing.
+- Panel/dialog open: 150ms slide-up + fade-in (consistent with kernel
+  Dialog animation).
+
+**Color and theming:**
+- Notes should work beautifully in both light and dark themes.
+  Use CSS custom properties (already the pattern via `var(--bg-surface)`,
+  etc.) but add notes-specific tokens for accent colors, folder palette,
+  and typography:
+  ```css
+  --notes-body-font: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;
+  --notes-body-size: 16px;
+  --notes-body-line-height: 1.7;
+  --notes-body-measure: 720px;
+  --notes-accent: var(--accent);
+  --notes-folder-1: #6366f1;  /* indigo */
+  --notes-folder-2: #8b5cf6;  /* violet */
+  --notes-folder-3: #ec4899;  /* pink */
+  --notes-folder-4: #f59e0b;  /* amber */
+  --notes-folder-5: #10b981;  /* emerald */
+  --notes-folder-6: #06b6d4;  /* cyan */
+  ```
+
+**Responsive:**
+- Below 768px: sidebar collapses to overlay (slide-in from left).
+  Editor goes full-width. Split view disabled. Touch-friendly tap
+  targets (44px minimum on all interactive elements).
+- Between 768px and 1024px: sidebar narrower (220px). Editor gets
+  remaining space.
+- Above 1024px: full layout with comfortable sidebar width.
+
+**What this version does NOT change:**
+- No new features. Same note CRUD, same folders, same tags, same
+  wikilinks, same graph, same three view modes.
+- No backend changes. No schema changes.
+- The existing JS components are restructured for the new layout but
+  retain their current behavior.
+
+**Deliverable:** Complete CSS rewrite (`css/main.css`), targeted JS
+changes for new layout structure (resizable sidebar, collapsible sidebar,
+mode switcher component, animation hooks), and updated component
+templates where the HTML structure needs to change for the new design.
+
+---
+
+### v0.11.1 — Deep Folders + Navigation
+
+**Goal:** Folders become a real hierarchy with breadcrumbs, not just a
+flat tree with parent_id.
+
+**Features:**
+
+- **Breadcrumb navigation** in editor header showing the folder path.
+  Click any segment to navigate to that folder's note list. Styled
+  consistently with the v0.11.0 muted-text breadcrumb design.
+- **Drag folder→folder** to reparent. Animated drop indicator shows
+  nesting target with indent guide preview. Depth limit: 5 levels.
+- **Folder sort** — drag to reorder within a level. Smooth reorder
+  animation. Persists via `sort_order` column (already in schema).
+- **Collapse/expand persistence** — expanded folder set stored in
+  `sw.storage` keyed by user.
+- **Move dialog** — select destination folder from a tree picker when
+  moving notes (alternative to drag for accessibility / many folders).
+  Uses `sw.ui.Dialog` with the new folder tree component inside.
+
+**UX standard:** All folder interactions use the animation language
+established in v0.11.0. Drop targets highlight with the folder color
+from the palette. Reparent shows a brief connection-line animation.
+
+**Backend changes:**
+
+- Validate `parent_id` chain on create/update (no cycles, depth ≤ 5).
+- Folder delete: require empty or offer cascade (move children to parent,
+  or move contained notes to Unfiled).
+- `_list_folders()` returns full tree with `children_count` and
+  `note_count` for each folder.
+
+**Schema:** No changes.
+
+---
+
+### v0.11.2 — Wikilinks + Backlinks
+
+**Goal:** `[[wikilinks]]` become a first-class editing and navigation
+primitive with autocomplete, previews, and unresolved link handling.
+
+**Features:**
+
+- **CM6 autocomplete** — typing `[[` triggers a fuzzy note title picker
+  with a clean dropdown styled consistently with the notes design
+  language (not browser-default autocomplete). Shows note title, folder
+  path, and snippet preview. Keyboard navigable.
+- **Wikilink rendering** — rendered markdown converts `[[Title]]` to
+  internal links with a subtle notes-specific style (dotted underline,
+  small link icon). Distinct from external URLs.
+- **Hover preview** — hovering a wikilink shows a floating card with
+  the target note's title, first ~200 chars rendered as markdown, and
+  folder/tag metadata. Smooth fade-in, positioned to avoid viewport
+  overflow. Same visual language as graph node hover cards.
+- **Unresolved links** — `[[Nonexistent Note]]` renders with a dashed
+  styling and a muted color. Click to create the note with that title
+  (pre-filled). Small "+" indicator on hover.
+- **Backlinks panel improvements:**
+  - Show context snippet (surrounding text with the `[[link]]`
+    highlighted).
+  - Group by folder with folder color indicators.
+  - Count badge in sidebar tab (animated increment on new backlinks).
+  - Navigate to the linking note and scroll to the link location.
+- **Aliases** — new `aliases` column on `notes` table. Autocomplete
+  searches both title and aliases.
+
+**UX standard:** Autocomplete dropdown uses the notes card styling.
+Hover preview card shares visual language with graph tooltips. Unresolved
+link creation is a smooth inline experience, not a navigate-away-and-back.
+
+**Backend changes:**
+
+- `_sync_links()` resolves aliases as well as titles.
+- New endpoint: `GET /autocomplete?q=...` — fast title+alias prefix
+  search (limit 10).
+- Backlinks response includes `context_snippet` field.
+
+**Schema changes:**
+
+- `notes` table: add `aliases` column (text, comma-separated).
+
+---
+
+### v0.11.3 — Live Preview + Rich Editing
+
+**Goal:** The editor becomes genuinely pleasant to write in — live
+preview that scrolls in sync, or an optional inline-formatted mode.
+
+**Features:**
+
+- **Split pane scroll sync** — scrolling the CM6 editor scrolls the
+  rendered preview to the corresponding position. Uses heading anchors
+  for coarse sync and line-height interpolation for fine sync.
+- **Live preview debounce** — rendered pane updates as you type with
+  150ms debounce. Smooth content transitions (no jarring reflow).
+- **Inline preview** (Obsidian-style) — optional mode where markdown
+  syntax hides and formatting appears inline while editing. CM6
+  decorations for bold, italic, headings, links, code blocks.
+  Syntax reappears when cursor enters the formatted region. This is
+  the "fourth mode" alongside rendered / edit / split — a true
+  WYSIWYG-ish editing experience without leaving markdown.
+- **Image paste** — paste from clipboard, upload via `files` module,
+  insert `![](url)` at cursor. Progress indicator during upload.
+  Fallback: base64 inline if `files` module unavailable.
+- **Table editing** — tab-to-next-cell, auto-expand columns, add
+  row/column with floating buttons on hover. Markdown tables become
+  usable instead of a formatting chore.
+
+**UX standard:** Split pane has an animated gutter with a subtle drag
+handle. Mode switcher expands to accommodate the fourth option (or
+becomes a dropdown if space is tight). Image paste shows a smooth
+inline loading skeleton.
+
+**Backend changes:**
+
+- Image upload endpoint: `POST /images` — receives multipart, stores
+  via `files` module, returns URL.
+
+**Schema:** No changes.
+
+---
+
+### v0.11.4 — Note Sharing + Permissions
+
+**Goal:** Notes become collaborative. Share a note or folder with
+a team, group, individual, or the public — with read-only or read-write
+permissions.
+
+**Share Model:**
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Share Scope              │ Granularity │ Permissions │
+├──────────────────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤
+│ Public (anonymous URL)   │ note only   │ read-only   │
+│ Team                     │ note/folder │ ro / rw     │
+│ Group                    │ note/folder │ ro / rw     │
+│ Individual (user)        │ note/folder │ ro / rw     │
+└──────────────────────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┘
+```
+
+**Folder sharing inherits:** sharing a folder grants access to all notes
+in that folder (and sub-folders). Individual note shares override folder
+permissions (higher wins).
+
+**Features:**
+
+- **Share dialog** — clean modal (using `sw.ui.Dialog`) with scope
+  selector, user/team/group picker (using `sw.ui.UserPicker` or new
+  entity picker), permission toggle, and copy-link button. Share URL
+  preview with visual indicator.
+- **Public notes surface** — new surface at `/s/notes/public/:share_id`.
+  Renders a single note in read-only mode with clean, minimal chrome.
+  Uses the v0.11.0 typography and rendered view styling. Armature
+  branding footer. No authentication required.
+- **Shared-with-me view** — sidebar section (new tab) showing notes/folders
+  shared by others. Grouped by owner with avatar. Visual distinction
+  from your own notes.
+- **Share indicators** — shared notes show a subtle share icon on the
+  note card. Folder tree shows share badge on shared folders. Hover
+  reveals share scope.
+- **Permission enforcement** — Starlark backend checks share permissions
+  on every read/write.
+- **Share revocation** — remove access from share dialog with
+  confirmation.
+
+**UX standard:** Share dialog is the most complex new UI in the series
+and must feel simple. One-click sharing for common cases (share with
+team, make public). Advanced options (specific users, groups) are
+available but not in the way. Copy-link button shows a brief "Copied!"
+toast. Public note surface is a showcase — the best the notes rendering
+can look.
+
+**Backend changes:**
+
+- New `note_shares` table.
+- New `folder_shares` table.
+- Access check function: `_can_access(user_id, note_id, permission)`.
+- `_list_notes()` includes shared notes with `shared_by` metadata.
+- Public note endpoint: unauthenticated GET by share_token.
+
+**Schema changes:**
+
+- New table: `note_shares` — note_id, share_type, target_id, permission,
+  share_token, created_by, created_at.
+- New table: `folder_shares` — folder_id, share_type, target_id,
+  permission, share_token, created_by, created_at.
+
+**Manifest changes:**
+
+- New surface: `/notes/public/:share_id` with `auth: "public"`.
+
+---
+
+### v0.11.5 — Graph + Outline Hardening
+
+**Goal:** The graph becomes a genuine navigation and discovery tool.
+The outline becomes a reliable TOC.
+
+**Graph improvements:**
+
+- **d3-force layout** — replace hand-rolled force sim with d3-force.
+  Better convergence, collision avoidance, centering. ~15KB optional
+  vendor (same pattern as CM6).
+- **Zoom controls** — explicit +/- buttons (styled as floating pills) plus
+  scroll-to-zoom. Reset-to-fit button.
+- **Minimap** — small overview in corner with viewport rectangle.
+  Draggable to navigate large graphs.
+- **Cluster by folder** — visual grouping with soft convex hulls in
+  folder colors (from the v0.11.0 palette). Toggle on/off.
+- **Filter by tag** — highlight matching nodes, dim others. Smooth
+  opacity transition.
+- **Search in graph** — highlight and smooth-pan to matching nodes.
+- **Hover card** — note title, snippet, folder, tag count. Same visual
+  language as wikilink hover preview (v0.11.2).
+
+**Outline improvements:**
+
+- **Scroll sync** — active heading highlights as user scrolls. Uses
+  `IntersectionObserver`. Smooth highlight transition.
+- **Click-to-scroll** — smooth scroll with brief heading highlight pulse.
+- **Indent levels** — h1→h6 with subtle indent guides matching the
+  folder tree style.
+- **Collapse/expand** — heading sections collapsible in outline.
+  Animated, consistent with folder tree animations.
+
+**UX standard:** The graph should feel like a discovery tool, not a tech
+demo. Interactions should be fluid — pan, zoom, hover, click — with no
+jank. The outline should feel like a table of contents in a well-typeset
+book.
+
+---
+
+### v0.11.6 — Quick Switcher + Commands
+
+**Goal:** Keyboard-driven navigation. Power users never touch the mouse.
+
+**Features:**
+
+- **Quick switcher** (`Cmd+O` / `Ctrl+O`) — centered overlay with fuzzy
+  search. Clean design: large input field, results below with note
+  title, folder path, and snippet. Recent notes above search results.
+  Arrow keys + Enter. Smooth open/close animation. Matches the visual
+  language of command palettes in VS Code / Raycast.
+- **Command palette** (`Cmd+Shift+P`) — same overlay style, listing all
+  available note actions as searchable commands. Extensible via
+  `sw.actions`.
+- **Keyboard shortcuts:** Registered via a central keymap.
+
+  | Shortcut | Action |
+  |----------|--------|
+  | `Cmd+O` | Quick switcher |
+  | `Cmd+Shift+P` | Command palette |
+  | `Cmd+N` | New note |
+  | `Cmd+S` | Save (in edit mode) |
+  | `Cmd+E` | Toggle edit/rendered |
+  | `Cmd+Shift+E` | Toggle split view |
+  | `Cmd+D` | Open today's daily note |
+  | `Cmd+G` | Toggle graph view |
+  | `Cmd+B` | Toggle backlinks panel |
+  | `Escape` | Close active panel/dialog |
+
+**UX standard:** The quick switcher is a high-frequency interaction —
+it must open instantly (no perceptible delay), search results must
+appear as-you-type, and the whole flow (Cmd+O → type → Enter) should
+take under 2 seconds for a user who knows what they want.
+
+---
+
+### v0.11.7 — Daily Notes + Templates
+
+**Goal:** Recurring note patterns that lower friction.
+
+**Daily notes:**
+
+- Auto-created daily note — navigating to "today" creates a note titled
+  `YYYY-MM-DD` in a configurable daily notes folder.
+- Daily note template — configurable template body.
+- **Calendar picker** — small, beautiful calendar widget in the sidebar.
+  Days with notes dot-marked. Styled as a subtle, compact component
+  (not a full-page calendar). Click a date to open that day's note.
+- Previous/next day nav arrows in editor header for daily notes.
+
+**Templates:**
+
+- Notes in a "Templates" folder are templates. No special type.
+- "New Note" dropdown offers template selection with preview.
+- Template variables: `{{date}}`, `{{time}}`, `{{title}}`, `{{folder}}` —
+  simple string replacement.
+- **Slash commands** in CM6 — typing `/` at line start shows a styled
+  command menu: `/template`, `/date`, `/time`, `/todo`, `/callout`,
+  `/table`, `/code`, `/divider`. Extensible via `sw.slots`.
+
+**UX standard:** The calendar picker should feel like a subtle,
+integrated part of the sidebar — not a jarring widget. Template
+selection should show a live preview of the template content.
+Slash commands should appear fast and be keyboard navigable.
+
+**Settings additions:**
+
+- `daily_note_folder` — folder name for daily notes.
+- `daily_note_template` — template body.
+- `template_folder` — folder name for templates.
+
+---
+
+### v0.11.8 — Transclusion + Embeds
+
+**Goal:** Notes reference and embed each other's content.
+
+**Features:**
+
+- **Transclusion** (`![[Note Title]]`) — embeds referenced note content
+  inline in a clean bordered container with source title as header link.
+- **Section transclusion** (`![[Note Title#Heading]]`) — embeds content
+  under specified heading only.
+- **Block transclusion** (`![[Note Title^block-id]]`) — single paragraph
+  by block ID.
+- **Recursion guard** — depth limited to 3. Circular references show
+  a clean warning card, not an error.
+- **File attachments** — drag-and-drop files onto editor to upload.
+  Non-image files render as styled download cards (file icon, name,
+  size).
+- **Embed preview in editor** — CM6 decoration shows read-only preview
+  below `![[...]]` line. Collapsible with smooth animation.
+
+**UX standard:** Transclusions should feel like natural parts of the
+document, not foreign inclusions. The border and header link should be
+subtle. Embedded content uses the same typography as the host note.
+Collapse animation is smooth.
+
+---
+
+### v0.11.9 — Composability: Slots + Actions
+
+**Goal:** Notes becomes a host surface that other extensions enhance.
+
+**Slot declarations:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "slots": {
+    "notes:toolbar-actions": {
+      "description": "Action buttons in the note editor toolbar",
+      "context": {
+        "noteId": "string",
+        "getContent": "function — returns markdown body",
+        "setContent": "function — replaces markdown body",
+        "getTitle": "function — returns title"
+      }
+    },
+    "notes:note-footer": {
+      "description": "Content rendered below the note body",
+      "context": { "noteId": "string", "content": "string — HTML" }
+    },
+    "notes:sidebar-tabs": {
+      "description": "Additional tabs in the notes sidebar",
+      "context": { "activeNoteId": "string or null" }
+    },
+    "notes:slash-commands": {
+      "description": "Additional slash commands in the editor",
+      "context": { "insertText": "function(text)" }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Exported actions:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "exports": {
+    "actions": {
+      "notes.create": "Create note (params: title, body, folder_id)",
+      "notes.search": "Search notes (params: query, limit)",
+      "notes.get": "Get note by ID (params: note_id)"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**UX standard:** Slot contributions must fit visually. Toolbar action
+buttons contributed by other extensions inherit the notes icon-button
+styling. Sidebar tabs contributed by extensions match the built-in tab
+design. The notes surface should not look different when extensions
+contribute to its slots.
+
+---
+
+### v0.11.10 — Panel Enhancement + Quality Gate
+
+**Goal:** The `notes.reference` panel (shipped in v0.10.4) inherits
+the v0.11.x features. Final quality gate.
+
+**Panel updates:**
+
+- Reference panel gets the v0.11.0 visual design language.
+- Search, folder filter, tag filter in panel.
+- Preview pane shows rendered note content (v0.11.0 typography).
+- Click-to-insert: emits `panel.notes.reference.selected` for host.
+- Wikilink resolution works within panel preview.
+
+**Quality gate criteria:**
+
+- All v0.11.x features exercised in SDK test runner.
+- Notes-runner surface tests cover: CRUD, sharing, wikilinks, daily
+  notes, templates, transclusion.
+- Graph renders correctly with 200+ nodes at 60fps.
+- Public note surface renders without authentication.
+- At least one slot contribution demonstrated.
+- Panel reference works in at least one other surface.
+- **UX review:** every screen, every interaction, every empty state
+  reviewed against v0.11.0 design principles. No "placeholder" UI
+  surviving to this point.
+- **Responsive:** full experience on mobile (sidebar overlay, touch
+  targets, no horizontal scroll).
+- **Accessibility:** keyboard navigation through all views. ARIA labels.
+  Focus management on panel/dialog open/close.
+- **Performance:** virtual scrolling on note list for 1000+ notes.
+  Graph 60fps with 500+ nodes. Lazy-load graph and CM6.
+

+## Uniquely Armature
+
+| Feature | Obsidian/Notion | Armature Notes |
+|---------|-----------------|----------------|
+| Extension slots | Plugin API (Obsidian) | Kernel-level composability — any package contributes to any slot without coupling |
+| Sharing | Obsidian Publish (paid), Notion sharing | Built on kernel resource model — same permission patterns as every other extension |
+| Panels | N/A | Notes is a panel provider — embed a notes view inside chat, dashboard, or any surface |
+| Multi-surface | Single window | Full surface + public surface + reference panel, all from one package |
+| Server-side logic | Local only (Obsidian) | Starlark backend — search, link resolution, access control run server-side |
+| Realtime | N/A (Obsidian), built-in (Notion) | Via `sw.realtime` — same primitive available to all extensions |
+| Cross-extension actions | Plugin API | `sw.actions` — any package can call `notes.create` or `notes.search` |
+| Self-hosted | Obsidian Sync (paid) | Runs on your infrastructure, your data, your rules |
+
+The thesis: **Notes isn't just a note-taking app — it's proof that
+Armature's extension architecture can deliver a production-quality
+knowledge base that competes with purpose-built SaaS tools, while
+remaining decomposable and extensible.** And it has to *look and feel*
+like it competes, not just architecturally compete.

+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| UI redesign as v0.11.0, before features | Every subsequent version builds on the visual foundation. Shipping features on an ugly base means reworking the UI of every feature when the redesign eventually happens. Front-loading avoids double work and ensures every version screenshot looks like a real product. |
+| Notes as first reference extension | Exercises more kernel primitives than any other candidate. Complex enough to prove the platform; familiar enough to be immediately useful. |
+| Dedicated v0.11.x series (11 versions) | Notes is too large for a single version. Each v0.11.x is independently shippable and CI-green. |
+| UX quality threaded through every version | Each version specifies its UX standard, not just functionality. No "make it pretty later" — every feature ships with its final visual quality. |
+| Share model via new tables | Notes sharing needs note/folder-specific semantics (inheritance, public URLs, share tokens). Purpose-built tables beat generic resource grants for this use case. |
+| Aliases as comma-separated text | Small set (1–3 per note). Separate table adds join complexity for marginal normalization benefit. |
+| d3-force for graph | Existing hand-rolled sim has poor convergence at 100+ nodes. d3-force is battle-tested, ~15KB. |
+| Transclusion rendered on view, not live-synced | Live-sync requires WebSocket subs per embedded note. Disproportionate complexity pre-MVP. |
+| Templates are just notes in a folder | No template schema. KISS. |
+| Inline preview as fourth editing mode | Obsidian's killer UX feature. Users who want WYSIWYG-ish editing without leaving markdown get it without a ProseMirror dependency — CM6 decorations handle it. |

+# DESIGN: Panels — v0.10.x
+
+## Status: Proposed
+
+## Problem
+
+Packages export one rendering granularity today: a **surface** — a
+full-page application that owns `#extension-mount`. There is no way
+for a package to offer a lightweight, composable view of itself that
+another surface can pull in.
+
+Concrete example: the `notes` package provides a full note editor
+surface at `/s/notes`. When a user is in the `chat` surface and wants
+to reference their notes, the only option is to navigate away. There is
+no mechanism to embed a notes panel alongside chat, whether as a
+floating window, a docked sidebar, or a bottom strip.
+
+This forces users into one-thing-at-a-time workflows and prevents the
+"extensions extending extensions" composability story from reaching the
+UI layer. Slots and actions allow injection of buttons and menu items,
+but not entire companion views.
+
+Without kernel coordination, package authors who need this will roll
+their own floating containers, producing:
+
+- **Z-index wars** between packages and kernel overlays (Dialog at 1000,
+  debug at 9999, toast in between).
+- **Inconsistent drag/resize** behavior (touch support, bounds clamping,
+  accessibility).
+- **No position persistence** — panels reset on every navigation.
+- **No layout negotiation** — docked panels can't tell the host surface
+  to shrink.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- **Window management system.** This is not a tiling WM. The kernel
+  provides a small set of presentation modes (floating, docked). Complex
+  layouts are post-1.0 horizon.
+- **Cross-surface panel sharing at runtime.** A panel runs inside one
+  host surface's page context. It is not an iframe or a separate
+  browsing context.
+- **Panel-to-panel communication.** Panels communicate with their host
+  surface (and each other) via `sw.events`. No new IPC mechanism.
+- **Server-side panel rendering.** Panels are frontend-only. The kernel
+  resolves dependencies and serves JS; rendering happens in the browser.
+
+## What Already Exists
+
+**Three rendering tiers exist today; panels fill the gap between the
+first two:**
+
+| Tier | Scope | Example |
+|------|-------|---------|
+| **Surface** | Full-page app, owns `#extension-mount` | Notes editor, Chat, Admin |
+| *(gap)* | *Composable companion view* | *Notes reference panel in Chat* |
+| **Block renderer** | Inline content unit in markdown | Mermaid diagram, KaTeX formula |
+
+**Kernel primitives that panels build on:**
+
+- `sw.ui.Dialog` — centered modal with focus trap, backdrop, z-index 1000.
+- `sw.ui.Drawer` — slide-in side panel (left/right), backdrop, z-index 1000.
+- `sw.events` — pub/sub event bus, local and realtime. Already the
+  communication channel between surfaces and slot contributors.
+- `sw.storage` — per-user localStorage wrapper with namespaced keys.
+- `sw.slots` — named UI injection points with manifest declarations.
+- Manifest `depends` field — package dependency resolution at install time.
+
+**What panels add:** A second rendering granularity between surfaces and
+block renderers, with kernel-managed presentation modes and lifecycle.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+### 1. Three-Tier Rendering Hierarchy
+
+After this change, every package can export up to three things:
+
+```
+Surface   — full-page app, owns the mount, has shell topbar slots
+Panel     — composable view, kernel-managed container, presentation-agnostic
+Renderer  — inline content block (sw.renderers)
+```
+
+The key architectural property: **the panel component does not know its
+presentation mode.** It renders into whatever container the kernel
+provides. Floating, docked-right, docked-bottom — that is a shell/layout
+concern. The panel receives a mount element and a size. Nothing else.
+
+### 2. Manifest Schema
+
+#### Provider: `panels` field
+
+The package that provides a panel declares it in its manifest:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "notes",
+  "surfaces": ["/notes"],
+  "panels": {
+    "reference": {
+      "entry": "js/panels/reference.js",
+      "title": "Notes",
+      "icon": "📝",
+      "description": "Searchable note list with quick preview",
+      "min_width": 280,
+      "min_height": 200,
+      "default_width": 400,
+      "default_height": 350
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Panel IDs are namespaced: `<package_id>.<panel_key>`. The notes
+reference panel above is addressed as `notes.reference` everywhere
+in the SDK and in consumer manifests.
+
+A package may declare multiple panels:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "notes",
+  "panels": {
+    "reference": { "entry": "js/panels/reference.js", ... },
+    "graph":     { "entry": "js/panels/graph.js", ... }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Consumer: `panels` dependency
+
+The consuming surface declares which panels it wants available:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "chat",
+  "surfaces": ["/chat"],
+  "panels": ["notes.reference"]
+}
+```
+
+This is a **soft dependency**: the panel is available if the providing
+package is installed and enabled. If not, `sw.panels.open()` returns
+`false` and the consuming surface can degrade gracefully (hide the
+button, show a tooltip explaining the missing package).
+
+This is distinct from `depends` (hard dependency — install fails without
+it). A consumer does not need the provider installed to function; the
+panel is an enhancement.
+
+### 3. Panel Entry Point Contract
+
+The panel JS module exports a single `mount` function. The kernel calls
+it with a DOM element and a context object. It returns a cleanup function.
+
+```js
+// notes/js/panels/reference.js
+const { html } = window;
+const { render } = preact;
+
+export function mount(el, ctx) {
+    // ctx.sw       — SDK instance
+    // ctx.params   — optional params from sw.panels.open()
+    // ctx.panelId  — 'notes.reference'
+    // ctx.close    — function to request close
+    // ctx.resize   — function(width, height) to request resize
+
+    render(html`<${NotesReference} sw=${ctx.sw} />`, el);
+
+    // Return cleanup
+    return () => render(null, el);
+}
+```
+
+**Rules:**
+
+- The panel must not assume any particular container size. Use CSS
+  `width: 100%; height: 100%` and let the kernel container control
+  dimensions.
+- The panel must not create its own overlay, backdrop, or drag handle.
+  The kernel wraps the panel in the appropriate chrome.
+- The panel must not set `z-index` on anything. The kernel manages
+  stacking.
+- The panel may use `ctx.close()` to request its own dismissal (e.g.
+  user clicks an "X" inside the panel content area).
+- The panel may use `ctx.resize(w, h)` to suggest a new size, but the
+  kernel may clamp or ignore the request.
+- Communication with the host surface is via `sw.events` — the same
+  bus surfaces and slot contributors already use.
+
+### 4. SDK API — `sw.panels`
+
+New SDK module: `src/js/sw/sdk/panels.js`
+
+```js
+export function createPanels(events, storage) {
+    const _registry = new Map();   // panelId → manifest entry
+    const _active   = new Map();   // panelId → { el, cleanup, mode, ... }
+
+    return {
+        /**
+         * Register a panel from manifest data. Called by the kernel
+         * during surface load — not by package code directly.
+         */
+        _register(panelId, manifest) { ... },
+
+        /**
+         * Open a panel. Lazy-loads the JS entry if not yet loaded.
+         *
+         * @param {string} panelId — e.g. 'notes.reference'
+         * @param {object} opts
+         * @param {string} opts.mode — 'floating' | 'docked-right' | 'docked-left' | 'docked-bottom'
+         * @param {object} opts.params — passed to mount(el, ctx)
+         * @param {number} opts.width — override default width
+         * @param {number} opts.height — override default height
+         * @returns {Promise<boolean>} — false if panel not available
+         */
+        async open(panelId, opts = {}) { ... },
+
+        /**
+         * Close a panel. Calls cleanup, removes container.
+         */
+        close(panelId) { ... },
+
+        /**
+         * Toggle open/close.
+         */
+        toggle(panelId, opts = {}) { ... },
+
+        /**
+         * Check if a panel is currently open.
+         */
+        isOpen(panelId) { ... },
+
+        /**
+         * Check if a panel is available (provider installed + enabled).
+         */
+        isAvailable(panelId) { ... },
+
+        /**
+         * List available panel IDs for the current surface.
+         */
+        list() { ... },
+
+        /**
+         * List currently open panel IDs.
+         */
+        active() { ... },
+    };
+}
+```
+
+**Exposed on `sw` as:**
+
+```js
+sw.panels.open('notes.reference', { mode: 'floating' });
+sw.panels.open('notes.reference', { mode: 'docked-right' });
+sw.panels.close('notes.reference');
+sw.panels.toggle('notes.reference');
+sw.panels.isOpen('notes.reference');    // boolean
+sw.panels.isAvailable('notes.reference'); // boolean
+sw.panels.list();     // ['notes.reference', 'notes.graph']
+sw.panels.active();   // ['notes.reference']
+```

+```
+
+- Draggable via title bar (pointer + touch events).
+- Resize via bottom-right handle.
+- Viewport bounds clamping — panel cannot be dragged fully offscreen
+  (at least 48px of title bar must remain visible).
+- No backdrop — host surface remains fully interactive.
+- Z-index above surfaces, below Dialog/Drawer overlays.
+- On focus or drag-start, panel gets next-z (multiple floating panels
+  stack correctly).
+- Escape key: configurable — close panel or do nothing (default: close).
+- Position and size persisted in `sw.storage` keyed by panel ID.
+
+**Title bar chrome (kernel-provided):**

+                              resize
+                              gutter
+```
+
+- Docked panels consume space from the host surface. The
+  `#extension-mount` area shrinks via CSS flex or grid.
+- Resize gutter between host and panel (drag to adjust split).
+- Three dock positions: right (default), left, bottom.
+- No z-index concerns — docked panels are in normal flow.
+- Split ratio persisted in `sw.storage` keyed by panel ID + mode.
+- Close button removes panel, host surface reclaims full width/height.
+
+#### Mode Transitions (v0.10.2)
+
+A floating panel can be dragged to a dock zone (edge highlight on
+hover). A docked panel's title bar can be dragged away to float.
+The panel component is never unmounted during a mode transition — only
+the wrapping container changes.
+
+The user controls presentation mode. Surfaces can suggest a default
+mode in `sw.panels.open()`, but the user's last-used mode (persisted)
+takes precedence.
+
+### 6. Z-Index Strategy
+
+Panels slot into the existing stacking context:
+
+| Layer | Z-Index | Contents |
+|-------|---------|----------|
+| Base | 0 | Surface content, docked panels (in flow) |
+| Floating panels | 100–199 | `sw.panels` floating mode (auto-incrementing) |
+| Shell overlays | 200–299 | Dropdowns, tooltips, menus |
+| Drawer | 1000 | `sw.ui.Drawer` |
+| Dialog | 1000 | `sw.ui.Dialog` + confirm/prompt |
+| Toast | 1100 | `sw.ui.toast` |
+| Debug | 9999 | Debug panel |
+
+Floating panels start at z-index 100. Each panel that receives focus
+or drag-start gets `max(current panel z-indexes) + 1`, capped at 199.
+If the cap is hit, all floating panels are renumbered starting from 100
+(maintaining relative order). This prevents unbounded z-index growth.
+
+When a Dialog or Drawer opens, floating panels remain visible beneath
+the overlay — they do not auto-hide. This preserves the "see while
+doing" property.
+
+### 7. Dependency Resolution + Loading
+
+**At install time:** The kernel validates that panel dependencies
+reference valid `<package>.<panel>` identifiers. Invalid references
+are warnings (soft deps), not errors.
+
+**At surface load time:**
+
+1. Kernel reads the surface's `panels` array from its manifest.
+2. For each declared panel, check if the providing package is installed
+   and enabled. Build the available panel list.
+3. Register available panels into `sw.panels._register()` with their
+   manifest metadata (entry path, title, icon, size constraints).
+4. Panel JS is **not** loaded yet — lazy loading on first
+   `sw.panels.open()`.
+
+**On `sw.panels.open(panelId)`:**
+
+1. If panel JS not yet loaded: `import()` the entry module from the
+   package's static asset path
+   (`/api/v1/ext/<package>/static/js/panels/<name>.js`).
+2. Call `module.mount(el, ctx)` where `el` is the content area of the
+   kernel-provided container (FloatingPanel or DockedPanel component).
+3. Store the cleanup function returned by `mount()`.
+4. Emit `panels.opened` event with `{ panelId, mode }`.
+
+**On `sw.panels.close(panelId)`:**
+
+1. Call stored cleanup function.
+2. Remove kernel container from DOM.
+3. Emit `panels.closed` event with `{ panelId }`.
+
+### 8. Panel Communication
+
+No new mechanism. Panels and their host surface share the same
+`sw.events` bus and `sw` SDK instance. Convention-based event
+namespacing:
+
+```js
+// Host surface requests the notes panel to show a specific note
+sw.emit('panel.notes.reference.show', { noteId: '...' });
+
+// Panel listens
+sw.on('panel.notes.reference.show', (data) => {
+    navigateToNote(data.noteId);
+});
+
+// Panel notifies the host that a note was selected
+sw.emit('panel.notes.reference.selected', { noteId: '...', title: '...' });
+
+// Host listens
+sw.on('panel.notes.reference.selected', (data) => {
+    insertNoteLink(data);
+});
+```
+
+The `params` object in `sw.panels.open()` provides initial state:
+
+```js
+sw.panels.open('notes.reference', {
+    mode: 'floating',
+    params: { folderId: 'inbox', highlight: noteId }
+});
+```
+
+Params are passed to `mount(el, ctx)` as `ctx.params`. This avoids
+the need for an event round-trip on first open.
+

+
+### 10. Backend Changes
+
+**Minimal.** The kernel backend already serves extension static assets
+and reads manifests. Changes:
+
+1. **Manifest parsing** (`server/extensions/manifest.go`): Parse the
+   `panels` field from provider manifests (map of panel key → entry
+   metadata). Parse the `panels` field from consumer manifests (array
+   of panel ID strings). Store in the existing `PackageRecord` struct.
+
+2. **Surface load endpoint** (`/api/v1/surfaces/:id`): Include resolved
+   panel metadata in the response — for each panel declared by the
+   surface, include the provider's panel manifest entry (title, icon,
+   entry path, size constraints) if the provider is installed and
+   enabled. This lets the frontend `sw.panels._register()` at surface
+   boot without additional API calls.
+
+3. **Static asset serving**: Already works — panels are served from
+   the same package static path as surface JS
+   (`/api/v1/ext/<package>/static/...`).
+
+**No new tables.** No new migrations. Panel metadata lives in the
+existing manifest JSON stored in the packages table.
+
+### 11. Admin Visibility
+
+The admin packages page already shows package manifests. With panels:
+
+- The package detail view shows declared panels with their metadata.
+- The dependency view shows which surfaces consume which panels.
+- Panel availability warnings surface when a provider package is
+  disabled but consumers reference its panels.
+
+This falls out naturally from the existing manifest introspection —
+no new admin surfaces needed.
+

+
+## Event Inventory
+
+| Event | Emitted by | Payload |
+|-------|-----------|---------|
+| `panels.opened` | Kernel (sw.panels) | `{ panelId, mode }` |
+| `panels.closed` | Kernel (sw.panels) | `{ panelId }` |
+| `panels.mode_changed` | Kernel (sw.panels) | `{ panelId, from, to }` |
+| `panels.focused` | Kernel (sw.panels) | `{ panelId }` |
+| `panel.<id>.*` | Convention (package code) | Package-defined |
+
+All panel events are `localOnly: true` — they do not broadcast over
+the WebSocket. Panels are a frontend-only concern.
+
+---
+
+## Persistence
+
+Panel state persisted in `sw.storage` (localStorage wrapper):
+
+| Key | Value | Scope |
+|-----|-------|-------|
+| `panel_pos_<panelId>` | `{ x, y, w, h }` | Floating position + size |
+| `panel_mode_<panelId>` | `'floating' \| 'docked-right' \| ...` | Last-used presentation mode |
+| `panel_split_<panelId>` | `{ ratio: 0.3 }` | Docked split ratio |
+| `panel_minimized_<panelId>` | `true` | Minimized state |
+
+Persisted per-user (sw.storage is already user-scoped). Cleared when
+the providing package is uninstalled.
+
+---
+
+## Version Plan
+
+| Version | Title | Scope |
+|---------|-------|-------|
+| v0.10.0 | Panel Manifest + Lifecycle | Manifest `panels` field (provider + consumer). Backend parsing. `sw.panels` SDK module (register, open, close, toggle, isOpen, isAvailable, list). Lazy JS loading pipeline. No presentation UI yet — panels render into a plain unstyled container for contract validation. |
+| v0.10.1 | FloatingPanel Primitive | `FloatingPanel` Preact component with drag, resize, minimize, z-index stacking, viewport bounds, position persistence. `panels.css` floating section. Touch support. |
+| v0.10.2 | Docked Panels + Mode Transitions | `DockedPanel` component. Layout negotiation (flex resize of `#extension-mount`). Resize gutter. Drag-to-dock / drag-to-float transitions. `panels.css` docked section. Split ratio persistence. |
+| v0.10.3 | Panel Communication Patterns | Event namespace conventions documented. `ctx.params` for initial state. SDK helper: `sw.panels.send(panelId, event, data)` as sugar over `sw.emit('panel.' + panelId + '.' + event, data)`. Panel communication section in extension developer guide. |
+| v0.10.4 | Reference Panel: Notes | Notes package ships `panels.reference` — searchable note list with quick preview. Chat declares it as a consumer. End-to-end proof: open notes panel in chat, select a note, insert link. Test runner coverage. |
+
+Each version independently CI-green. v0.10.0 is the foundation that
+all subsequent versions build on.
+
+---
+
+## Changeset Plan — v0.10.0
+
+| CS | Scope | Description |
+|----|-------|-------------|
+| CS-1 | Backend (Go) | Manifest parsing: `panels` field on provider + consumer manifests. `PackageRecord` struct update. Surface load endpoint includes resolved panel metadata. |
+| CS-2 | Frontend (JS) | `sw.panels` SDK module: `createPanels()`, register, open, close, toggle, isOpen, isAvailable, list, active. Lazy `import()` loader. Unstyled container mount. |
+| CS-3 | Frontend (JS) | SDK boot integration: wire `sw.panels` into SDK boot sequence. Register panels from `__MANIFEST__` surface data. |
+| CS-4 | Frontend (JS) | Panel lifecycle events: `panels.opened`, `panels.closed`, `panels.focused`. |
+| CS-5 | Tests | SDK test runner: panel registration, open/close lifecycle, lazy loading, availability checks, event emission. |
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Kernel primitive, not package-level | Z-index coordination, drag/resize consistency, layout negotiation, and position persistence are all kernel concerns. Multiple packages need this. |
+| Soft dependency (not `depends`) | Chat should work without notes installed. Panel availability is a runtime check, not an install-time requirement. |
+| Presentation-agnostic panel contract | `mount(el, ctx)` / cleanup is the entire API surface. Panels never know if they are floating or docked. This lets us add new modes without touching panel code. |
+| Lazy loading | Panel JS is not loaded until first `sw.panels.open()`. Surfaces that declare panels but the user never opens them pay zero cost. |
+| Event bus for communication | `sw.events` already exists and is the established pattern for cross-package communication. No new mechanism needed. |
+| No new backend tables | Panel metadata is manifest data stored in the existing packages table JSON. No schema changes. |
+| Z-index band 100–199 | Above surface content, below shell overlays and Dialog/Drawer. Renumber on cap to prevent unbounded growth. |
+| User controls mode, surface suggests | The surface can pass `mode: 'docked-right'` as a default, but the user's persisted mode preference wins. Users know their own workflow. |
+
+---
+
+## Future Considerations (post-v0.10.x)
+
+- **User-composable layouts.** Power users drag panels from different
+  packages into a persistent workspace layout. Requires a layout
+  persistence model beyond per-panel position.
+- **Panel marketplace metadata.** Panels become a discoverability
+  feature: "this package provides 2 surfaces and 3 panels."
+- **Multi-monitor.** Pop a floating panel into a separate browser
+  window via `window.open()` + `SharedWorker` for event bus. Very
+  post-1.0.
+- **Keyboard shortcuts.** `Ctrl+Shift+N` opens the notes panel.
+  Requires a keybinding registry (not yet a kernel primitive).

+# DESIGN: Sidecar Tier — v0.14.x
+
+## Status: Proposed
+
+## Problem
+
+Starlark is the right sandbox for most extension logic: declarative,
+safe, fast to start, no deployment pipeline. But some workloads cannot
+run in Starlark:
+
+- **ML inference** — Python + PyTorch/TF model loading, GPU access.
+- **Media transcoding** — ffmpeg, ImageMagick, Whisper.
+- **Language servers** — LSP processes for code-workspace.
+- **Local git** — clone, diff, merge operations on workspace directories.
+- **Custom runtimes** — anything needing system libraries, native code,
+  or long-running processes.
+- **Personal local bridges** — a user's laptop exposing filesystem,
+  terminal, clipboard, or local compute to the Armature instance.
+
+Today, the `http` module lets Starlark call external APIs (`api.http`
+permission, domain allowlists, SSRF protection). This covers cloud
+services (OpenAI, S3, external webhooks) but not **co-located processes**
+that need access to Armature's data, events, and workspace filesystem,
+nor **personal processes** on a user's own machine.
+
+The sidecar tier bridges this gap: out-of-process extensions that
+connect inward to the kernel, authenticate, register capabilities, and
+participate in the extension ecosystem as first-class citizens — at both
+the **instance level** (shared infrastructure) and the **user level**
+(personal local tools).
+
+**If done wrong, the consequences are severe:**
+
+- Wrong auth model → arbitrary processes access kernel APIs.
+- Wrong lifecycle → resource leaks, zombie processes, orphaned
+  registrations.
+- Wrong API surface → every sidecar extension inherits the debt.
+- Wrong isolation → a runaway sidecar takes down the cluster.
+- Wrong discovery → fragile deployments that break on restart.
+- Wrong scoping → user sidecars see other users' data.
+
+This is invisible infrastructure. Users never see it. But every
+extension that needs native code depends on the contract being right.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- **Kernel manages sidecar processes.** The kernel does not start, stop,
+  or restart sidecars. That's the deployment layer's job (K8s, Docker
+  Compose, systemd, or a human running a binary). The kernel discovers
+  sidecars that connect to it.
+- **Sidecar marketplace.** Sidecar packages are installed like any other
+  `.pkg` file. The sidecar binary ships separately (container image,
+  standalone binary, pip package). The manifest declares the sidecar
+  endpoint; the operator deploys it.
+- **Arbitrary bidirectional streaming.** Sidecars communicate via
+  HTTP/JSON request-response and WebSocket events. No gRPC, no custom
+  binary protocols. KISS.
+- **Hot code reload.** Sidecar updates require process restart. The
+  kernel detects the reconnection and re-registers capabilities.
+- **Multi-tenant sidecar isolation.** Instance-level sidecars run at the
+  instance level, not per-user. User-level isolation is handled by
+  user sidecars (v0.14.5), which are scoped to the owning user's
+  identity.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Connect-Inward Model
+
+The defining property: **sidecars connect TO the kernel, not the other
+way around.** The kernel never reaches outward to discover or contact
+a sidecar. This eliminates:
+
+- K8s RBAC for the kernel to discover pods.
+- Service mesh configuration.
+- DNS-based service discovery.
+- Any notion of the kernel "managing" external processes.
+
+A sidecar is just a process that knows the kernel's address and has
+credentials to authenticate. It could be a container in the same pod, a
+separate deployment, a systemd service on the same machine, or a process
+on a developer's laptop connected via tunnel.

+
+### Two Scopes
+
+**Instance sidecars** — shared infrastructure. Deployed by the operator.
+Any user's requests can invoke their capabilities. An ML inference
+sidecar, a transcoding service, a git operations worker.
+
+**User sidecars** — personal processes. Run by an individual user on
+their own machine. Only the owning user's requests can invoke their
+capabilities. A local file bridge, a personal Ollama instance, a
+script that reacts to Armature events.
+
+Both use the same connect-inward mechanism, same registration flow,
+same capability contract. The difference is the identity binding and
+access scoping.
+
+### Two Authentication Modes
+
+#### Mode A: Registration Token
+
+For simple deployments (Docker Compose, single machine, dev/test).
+
+1. Admin generates an instance sidecar token:
+   `armature sidecar token create --package ml-inference`
+   User generates a personal sidecar token (from settings UI or CLI):
+   `armature sidecar token create --personal`
+2. Token is a signed JWT with claims: `{package_id, scope, user_id, exp}`.
+   Instance tokens: `scope: "instance"`, `user_id: null`.
+   User tokens: `scope: "user"`, `user_id: "<owner>"`.
+3. Sidecar starts with the token as env: `ARMATURE_TOKEN=ey...`
+4. Sidecar calls `POST /api/v1/sidecar/register`.
+5. Kernel validates JWT, creates registry entry with appropriate scope.
+
+#### Mode B: mTLS
+
+For production deployments with certificate infrastructure.
+
+1. Certificate CN encodes identity:
+   Instance: `sidecar:ml-inference`
+   User: `sidecar-user:jeff:local-bridge`
+2. Kernel's `MTLSNativeProvider` parses the CN prefix and resolves to
+   the appropriate sidecar identity.
+
+Both modes produce the same internal identity: a `SidecarIdentity`
+struct with `{package_id, scope, user_id, node_id, registered_at}`.
+
+### Sidecar Registry
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sidecar_registry (
+    sidecar_id    TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+    package_id    TEXT NOT NULL,
+    scope         TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'instance',
+    user_id       TEXT,
+    endpoint      TEXT NOT NULL,
+    heartbeat     TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT now(),
+    capabilities  JSONB DEFAULT '[]',
+    stats         JSONB DEFAULT '{}',
+    registered_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT now()
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_sidecar_pkg ON sidecar_registry (package_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_sidecar_user ON sidecar_registry (user_id)
+    WHERE user_id IS NOT NULL;
+```
+
+`scope` is `'instance'` or `'user'`. `user_id` is NULL for instance
+sidecars, set for user sidecars.
+
+**Lifecycle (mirrors cluster registry):**
+
+- **Register:** `POST /api/v1/sidecar/register` with capability
+  manifest. Kernel creates/updates registry row.
+- **Heartbeat:** `POST /api/v1/sidecar/heartbeat` every N seconds.
+- **Sweep:** Kernel's heartbeat loop sweeps stale sidecar entries
+  alongside node entries. 3× heartbeat interval = stale.
+- **Self-eviction:** Heartbeat returns 404 → re-register or exit.
+- **Deregister:** `DELETE /api/v1/sidecar/deregister` on graceful
+  shutdown.
+
+### Capability Registration
+
+On registration, the sidecar declares capabilities:
+
+```json
+POST /api/v1/sidecar/register
+{
+  "package_id": "ml-inference",
+  "endpoint": "http://ml-inference:8080",
+  "capabilities": [
+    {
+      "name": "embed",
+      "description": "Generate text embeddings",
+      "input_schema": {
+        "type": "object",
+        "properties": {
+          "text": { "type": "string" },
+          "model": { "type": "string", "default": "all-MiniLM-L6-v2" }
+        },
+        "required": ["text"]
+      },
+      "timeout_seconds": 30
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "classify",
+      "description": "Zero-shot text classification",
+      "input_schema": { ... },
+      "timeout_seconds": 60
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Sidecar SDK (Starlark)
+
+New `sidecar` Starlark module. Permission: `sidecar.call`.
+
+```python
+# Call an instance sidecar capability
+result = sidecar.call("ml-inference", "embed", {"text": "Hello"})
+
+# Check availability
+available = sidecar.available("ml-inference")
+
+# List capabilities
+caps = sidecar.capabilities("ml-inference")
+```
+
+User sidecar calls are routed automatically. When a request originates
+from user Jeff, `sidecar.call("user-bridge", "fs.search", {...})` hits
+Jeff's personal sidecar. The same call from user Alice would hit Alice's
+personal `user-bridge` sidecar (or fail if she doesn't have one). The
+Starlark caller doesn't specify the user — the kernel resolves it from
+the request context.
+
+### Sidecar SDK (Frontend)
+
+```js
+const result = await sw.sidecar.call('ml-inference', 'embed', {
+    text: 'Hello, world'
+});
+const available = await sw.sidecar.available('user-bridge');
+```
+
+Frontend calls go through the kernel API. The kernel proxies to the
+appropriate sidecar based on scope + user identity.
+
+### Sidecar API Contract (Inbound to Kernel)
+
+| Endpoint | Purpose | Auth |
+|----------|---------|------|
+| `POST /api/v1/sidecar/register` | Register + declare capabilities | Token or mTLS |
+| `POST /api/v1/sidecar/heartbeat` | Heartbeat + stats | Token or mTLS |
+| `DELETE /api/v1/sidecar/deregister` | Graceful shutdown | Token or mTLS |
+| `GET /api/v1/ext/{pkg}/*` | Read extension data (scoped) | Token or mTLS |
+| `POST /api/v1/ext/{pkg}/*` | Write extension data (scoped) | Token or mTLS |
+| `POST /api/v1/sidecar/emit` | Emit events | Token or mTLS |
+| `GET /api/v1/sidecar/subscribe` | WebSocket event subscription | Token or mTLS |
+| `POST /api/v1/sidecar/lib/{pkg}/{fn}` | Cross-package function call | Token or mTLS |
+
+**Scoping rules:**
+
+- Instance sidecars: can access `/api/v1/ext/{own_package}/*` only.
+- User sidecars: can access `/api/v1/ext/{own_package}/*` scoped to
+  the owning user's data within that package. The sidecar sees the
+  same data the user would see through the UI.
+- Event emission scoped to the sidecar's package prefix.
+
+### Sidecar API Contract (Outbound from Kernel)
+
+| Endpoint | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `POST {sidecar_endpoint}/api/v1/exec/{capability}` | Execute a capability |
+| `GET {sidecar_endpoint}/api/v1/health` | Health check |
+
+The `/exec/{capability}` endpoint receives:
+
+```json
+{
+  "input": { ... },
+  "context": {
+    "user_id": "...",
+    "package_id": "...",
+    "request_id": "..."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Returns:
+
+```json
+{
+  "output": { ... },
+  "error": null
+}
+```
+
+### Resource Limits
+
+What the kernel enforces at the proxy layer:
+
+- **Timeout:** Per-capability, from capability declaration.
+- **Request rate:** Per-sidecar, configurable in admin.
+- **Response size:** Default 10MB, configurable per-sidecar.
+- **Concurrent calls:** Default 10, configurable per-sidecar.
+
+User sidecars have separate (typically lower) defaults:
+
+- **User sidecar rate limit:** Default 30/min (vs 100/min instance).
+- **User sidecar concurrency:** Default 3 (vs 10 instance).
+- **User sidecar response size:** Default 5MB (vs 10MB instance).
+
+Admin can adjust user sidecar defaults globally. Individual users
+cannot override admin limits.
+
+### Manifest Integration
+
+Instance sidecar manifest:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "ml-inference",
+  "type": "full",
+  "tier": "sidecar",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+
+  "sidecar": {
+    "image": "gobha/armature-ml-inference:latest",
+    "required": true,
+    "health_endpoint": "/api/v1/health",
+    "env_hints": {
+      "ARMATURE_URL": "Kernel URL (auto-populated)",
+      "ARMATURE_TOKEN": "Registration token",
+      "MODEL_PATH": "Path to model files"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+User sidecar manifest (installed as a regular package, sidecar runs
+on user's machine):
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "user-bridge",
+  "type": "full",
+  "tier": "sidecar",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+
+  "sidecar": {
+    "scope": "user",
+    "required": false,
+    "download_url": "https://github.com/armature/user-bridge/releases",
+    "env_hints": {
+      "ARMATURE_URL": "Your Armature instance URL",
+      "ARMATURE_TOKEN": "Generate from Settings → Sidecars"
+    }
+  },
+
+  "surfaces": ["/user-bridge/settings"]
+}
+```
+
+`sidecar.scope: "user"` tells the kernel this is a user sidecar
+package. The package installs normally (admin or self-install depending
+on permissions), but the sidecar binary runs on the user's machine.
+
+### Tool Meta-Tool Integration
+
+When `llm-bridge` assembles tools for a completion:
+
+1. Instance-level actions from `sw.actions.list()` → available to all.
+2. Instance sidecar capabilities → available to all.
+3. **Requesting user's personal sidecar capabilities** → available to
+   that user only.
+
+This means different users get different tool sets. Jeff has
+`user-bridge` running with `fs.search`, `terminal.exec`, and
+`clipboard.get`. Alice doesn't. When Jeff asks "Hey Max, find the auth
+file on my desktop," Max has `user-bridge.fs.search` in his tool set.
+When Alice asks the same, that tool doesn't exist — Max tells her he
+can't access her local files.
+
+The same AI persona, different capabilities per user, zero configuration.
+
+### Admin UI
+
+**Instance sidecar management:**
+- Sidecar health status per registered instance sidecar.
+- Capabilities list with call counts, error rates, latency.
+- Token management: generate, revoke, list.
+- Per-sidecar rate limit and concurrency configuration.
+
+**User sidecar admin controls:**
+- Permission: `sidecar.connect_personal` — admin grants to specific
+  users or groups.
+- Capability allowlist for user sidecars — admin restricts which
+  capabilities user sidecars can declare.
+- Global user sidecar resource limits (rate, concurrency, response
+  size).
+- Monitoring: list of all connected user sidecars with owner, endpoint,
+  capabilities, last heartbeat.
+- Kill switch: admin can revoke any user sidecar token or sweep a
+  specific user's sidecars.
+
+**User settings (for users with `sidecar.connect_personal`):**
+- Generate personal sidecar token.
+- List personal connected sidecars with health status.
+- Revoke own tokens.
+- Download link / instructions for user sidecar binaries (from package
+  manifest `download_url`).
+
+### Monitoring
+
+Kernel-side metrics:
+
+- `sidecar_call_total{package, capability, scope, status}` — counter.
+- `sidecar_call_duration_seconds{package, capability, scope}` — histogram.
+- `sidecar_heartbeat_age_seconds{package, scope}` — gauge.
+- `sidecar_active{package, scope}` — gauge.
+- `sidecar_user_count` — gauge (number of connected user sidecars).

+
+## User Sidecar Use Cases
+
+### Local Bridge (Desktop Commander Pattern)
+
+A thin agent on the user's laptop that exposes local capabilities:
+
+```json
+{
+  "capabilities": [
+    {
+      "name": "fs.search",
+      "description": "Search local filesystem by filename or content",
+      "input_schema": {
+        "properties": {
+          "query": { "type": "string" },
+          "path": { "type": "string", "default": "~" },
+          "content_search": { "type": "boolean", "default": false }
+        },
+        "required": ["query"]
+      },
+      "timeout_seconds": 15
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "fs.read",
+      "description": "Read a local file",
+      "input_schema": {
+        "properties": {
+          "path": { "type": "string" },
+          "max_bytes": { "type": "integer", "default": 1048576 }
+        },
+        "required": ["path"]
+      },
+      "timeout_seconds": 10
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "terminal.exec",
+      "description": "Execute a shell command",
+      "input_schema": {
+        "properties": {
+          "command": { "type": "string" },
+          "cwd": { "type": "string", "default": "~" },
+          "timeout": { "type": "integer", "default": 30 }
+        },
+        "required": ["command"]
+      },
+      "timeout_seconds": 60
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "clipboard.get",
+      "description": "Read clipboard contents",
+      "input_schema": {},
+      "timeout_seconds": 5
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Tool meta-tool flow:**
+
+```
+User: "Hey Max, find the database migration script I was
+       working on yesterday and add it to my notes"
+
+llm-bridge assembles (for this user):
+  Layer 5 tools: [...instance tools..., user-bridge.fs.search,
+                  user-bridge.fs.read, notes.create, ...]
+
+LLM:
+  1. Tool: user-bridge.fs.search({query: "migration", path: "~/code"})
+  2. Result: [{path: "~/code/armature/migrations/015_sidecar.sql", ...}]
+  3. Tool: user-bridge.fs.read({path: "~/code/armature/migrations/015_sidecar.sql"})
+  4. Result: {content: "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sidecar_registry..."}
+  5. Tool: notes.create({title: "Migration 015 - Sidecar Registry",
+                         body: "```sql\nCREATE TABLE..."})
+  6. Text: "Found your sidecar migration script and saved it to Notes."
+```
+
+Three extensions orchestrated: user's local filesystem, instance-level
+notes, all through the same tool meta-tool pattern.
+
+### Personal Compute (Local Ollama)
+
+User runs Ollama on their workstation with a GPU:
+
+```json
+{
+  "capabilities": [
+    {
+      "name": "complete",
+      "description": "LLM completion via local Ollama",
+      "input_schema": {
+        "properties": {
+          "prompt": { "type": "string" },
+          "model": { "type": "string", "default": "llama3" }
+        },
+        "required": ["prompt"]
+      },
+      "timeout_seconds": 120
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "embed",
+      "description": "Local embedding via Ollama",
+      "input_schema": {
+        "properties": {
+          "text": { "type": "string" },
+          "model": { "type": "string", "default": "nomic-embed-text" }
+        },
+        "required": ["text"]
+      },
+      "timeout_seconds": 30
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+`llm-bridge` can be configured (per-user setting or persona preference)
+to route completions through the user's local Ollama instead of the
+instance-level provider. BYOK taken to the extreme — bring your own
+hardware.
+
+### Personal Automation
+
+A script that reacts to Armature events:
+
+```python
+# Personal deploy watcher — connects to Armature, subscribes to
+# events in the #deploys conversation, runs kubectl locally
+
+ws = connect(f'{KERNEL_URL}/api/v1/sidecar/subscribe',
+             token=TOKEN)
+
+for event in ws:
+    if event['type'] == 'chat.message' and 'deploy' in event['content']:
+        result = subprocess.run(['kubectl', 'get', 'pods', '-n', 'prod'],
+                               capture_output=True, text=True)
+        # Post result back to chat
+        requests.post(f'{KERNEL_URL}/api/v1/sidecar/lib/chat-core/send',
+            json={'conversation_id': event['conversation_id'],
+                  'content': f'```\n{result.stdout}\n```'},
+            headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {TOKEN}'})
+```
+
+Personal workflow glue. No instance-level deployment required.
+
+---
+
+## RBAC for User Sidecars
+
+Three-layer permission model:
+
+### Layer 1: Admin Controls WHO
+
+New permission: `sidecar.connect_personal`.
+
+Admin grants to specific users, groups, or roles. Most users don't
+need it. Developers, power users, AI-heavy workflows — they get the
+permission.
+
+Default: not granted. Opt-in only.
+
+### Layer 2: Admin Controls WHAT
+
+**Capability allowlist for user sidecars.**
+
+Admin setting: `SIDECAR_USER_ALLOWED_CAPABILITIES`
+
+Default: `["fs.search", "fs.read", "clipboard.get"]` — safe read-only
+operations.
+
+To enable terminal access: admin adds `"terminal.exec"` to the
+allowlist. This is a deliberate escalation requiring admin action.
+
+A user sidecar that attempts to register a capability not on the
+allowlist gets a clear error: "Capability 'terminal.exec' not permitted
+for user sidecars. Contact your administrator."
+
+### Layer 3: User Controls VISIBILITY
+
+User sidecar capabilities are **private by default** — only the owning
+user's requests invoke them.
+
+Optional: user can share a specific capability with their team via the
+settings UI. Shared capabilities appear in team members' tool sets
+(with attribution: "via Jeff's local bridge").
+
+User sidecars are never instance-wide. That's what instance sidecars
+are for.
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Instance Sidecars
+
+1. **Compromised binary** → can read/write own package data, call
+   exported functions. Mitigation: package-scoped access, audit logging,
+   token revocation.
+2. **Token theft** → impersonate sidecar. Mitigation: package-scoped
+   tokens, mTLS eliminates theft, revocable.
+3. **SSRF via sidecar.call** → Mitigation: endpoints validated at
+   registration, no runtime changes.
+4. **Resource exhaustion** → Mitigation: per-sidecar concurrency and
+   rate limits, timeout enforcement, response size limits.
+5. **Privilege escalation via lib.require** → Mitigation: calls
+   attributed to sidecar identity, target permission checks apply.
+
+### User Sidecars (Additional Concerns)
+
+6. **User deploys malicious sidecar** → registers capabilities that
+   exfiltrate data when called. Mitigation: capability allowlist (admin
+   controls what capabilities can be declared), private-by-default
+   (only the user's own requests trigger it — they're exfiltrating
+   from themselves).
+
+7. **User shares malicious capability with team** → team members
+   invoke it, sidecar captures their request data. Mitigation: shared
+   capabilities are clearly attributed ("via Jeff's local bridge").
+   Admin can disable capability sharing entirely. Shared capabilities
+   run with the CALLING user's permissions, not the sidecar owner's.
+
+8. **User sidecar as pivot** → user's laptop compromised, attacker uses
+   connected sidecar to access Armature data. Mitigation: user sidecar
+   can only access data the user could already access through the UI.
+   No privilege escalation. User can revoke own tokens. Admin kill
+   switch.
+
+9. **Stale user sidecars** → user's laptop goes offline, sidecar
+   becomes stale. Mitigation: same sweep mechanism as instance
+   sidecars. 3× heartbeat interval = swept. User reconnects when
+   laptop comes back online.
+
+### Principle of Least Privilege
+
+- Instance sidecar: access own package data only, middleware-enforced.
+- User sidecar: access own package data scoped to owning user only.
+- Event emission scoped to package prefix.
+- Capability allowlist for user sidecars (admin-controlled).
+- Shared capabilities run with caller's permissions.
+
+---
+
+## Version Plan
+
+### v0.14.0 — Sidecar Registry + Auth
+
+**Goal:** Sidecars can register, authenticate, and heartbeat.
+
+- Sidecar registry table with `scope` and `user_id` columns.
+- Registration endpoint with JWT token validation.
+- Heartbeat + sweep integration.
+- Token generation (instance tokens via admin, user tokens via settings).
+- `SIDECAR_AUTH_MODE` config: `token` or `mtls`.
+- mTLS auth: `sidecar:` and `sidecar-user:` CN prefixes.
+- Admin UI: sidecar health on packages page.
+
+**Instance sidecars only in this version.** User sidecar plumbing
+exists in the schema but user token generation and RBAC gating land
+in v0.14.5.
+
+### v0.14.1 — Capability Registration + Execution
+
+**Goal:** Sidecars declare capabilities. Starlark extensions call them.
+
+- Capability manifest in registration payload.
+- `sidecar` Starlark module: `call()`, `available()`, `capabilities()`.
+- Kernel proxy: `sidecar.call()` → `POST {endpoint}/exec/{cap}`.
+- Input validation against declared schema.
+- Timeout, response size, concurrent call limits.
+- Error propagation.
+- `sidecar.call` permission.
+- Audit logging.
+
+### v0.14.2 — Kernel API Access + Event Bus
+
+**Goal:** Sidecars read/write their own data and participate in events.
+
+- Sidecar middleware: authenticate, scope to own package routes.
+- `/api/v1/sidecar/lib/{pkg}/{fn}` — cross-package function calls.
+- `/api/v1/sidecar/emit` — event emission (package-scoped).
+- `/api/v1/sidecar/subscribe` — WebSocket event subscription.
+- Frontend `sw.sidecar` SDK module.
+
+### v0.14.3 — Manifest Integration + Admin Polish
+
+**Goal:** Sidecar packages are first-class in install/admin flow.
+
+- `tier: "sidecar"` manifest support.
+- `sidecar` manifest field (image, required, scope, env_hints,
+  download_url).
+- Admin UI: deployment instructions from manifest.
+- Admin UI: capability list with metrics.
+- Admin UI: per-sidecar rate limit configuration.
+- Token management UI.
+- Monitoring metrics.
+
+### v0.14.4 — Reference Sidecar + Instance Quality Gate
+
+**Goal:** Ship one real instance sidecar. Prove the contract.
+
+**`armature-embed`** — minimal Python sidecar running
+sentence-transformers for local embedding generation. One capability:
+`embed(text) → float[]`.
+
+`vector-store` calls `sidecar.call('armature-embed', 'embed', {...})`
+for local embedding without an external API. Completes the local-first
+RAG story.
+
+**Instance sidecar quality gate:**
+
+- Registration, heartbeat, sweep lifecycle tested.
+- Token and mTLS auth both functional.
+- Capability execution with limits enforced.
+- Package-scoped API access enforced.
+- Event emission/subscription functional.
+- `sw.sidecar` frontend module functional.
+- Reference sidecar runs in Docker and K8s.
+- Admin UI complete.
+- Monitoring metrics in Grafana.
+
+### v0.14.5 — User Sidecars
+
+**Goal:** Users connect personal processes to Armature.
+
+- `sidecar.connect_personal` permission (admin-granted).
+- User token generation in Settings → Sidecars.
+- Capability allowlist for user sidecars (admin setting:
+  `SIDECAR_USER_ALLOWED_CAPABILITIES`).
+- User sidecar registration with `scope: "user"`, `user_id` binding.
+- Execution routing: `sidecar.call()` resolves user sidecars based
+  on request context (calling user gets their own sidecar).
+- Capability sharing: user can share specific capabilities with team.
+  Shared caps attributed ("via Jeff's local bridge").
+- Separate resource limits for user sidecars (lower defaults).
+- User settings UI: connected sidecars, token management, sidecar
+  instructions from package manifests.
+- Admin UI: user sidecar monitoring, kill switch.
+- Tool meta-tool integration: `llm-bridge` includes user's personal
+  sidecar capabilities in tool set assembly.
+
+**Reference user sidecar: `user-bridge`** — thin agent binary with
+`fs.search`, `fs.read`, `clipboard.get` capabilities. Published as a
+package with `sidecar.scope: "user"`. Binary as a GitHub release.
+
+**User sidecar quality gate:**
+
+- RBAC: user without `sidecar.connect_personal` cannot register.
+- Capability allowlist enforced.
+- User A cannot invoke user B's sidecar.
+- Shared capabilities run with caller's permissions.
+- Admin can revoke any user sidecar.
+- Tool meta-tool assembles per-user tool sets correctly.
+- `user-bridge` reference sidecar runs on macOS, Linux, Windows.
+
+---
+
+## Schema Summary
+
+### New tables
+
+- `sidecar_registry` — sidecar_id, package_id, scope, user_id,
+  endpoint, heartbeat, capabilities (JSON), stats (JSON),
+  registered_at. (v0.14.0)
+- `sidecar_tokens` — id, package_id, scope, user_id, token_hash,
+  created_by, expires_at, revoked_at. (v0.14.0)
+

+## Sidecar Author Contract
+
+### Minimum Viable Sidecar (Python)
+
+```python
+from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
+import requests, os, threading, time
+
+app = Flask(__name__)
+KERNEL = os.environ['ARMATURE_URL']
+TOKEN = os.environ['ARMATURE_TOKEN']
+
+def register():
+    requests.post(f'{KERNEL}/api/v1/sidecar/register',
+        json={
+            'package_id': 'my-sidecar',
+            'endpoint': f'http://localhost:8080',
+            'capabilities': [{
+                'name': 'echo',
+                'description': 'Echo input back',
+                'input_schema': {
+                    'type': 'object',
+                    'properties': {'text': {'type': 'string'}},
+                    'required': ['text']
+                },
+                'timeout_seconds': 10
+            }]
+        },
+        headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {TOKEN}'})
+
+def heartbeat():
+    while True:
+        time.sleep(10)
+        r = requests.post(f'{KERNEL}/api/v1/sidecar/heartbeat',
+            json={'stats': {}},
+            headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {TOKEN}'})
+        if r.status_code == 404:
+            register()
+
+@app.route('/api/v1/exec/echo', methods=['POST'])
+def exec_echo():
+    return jsonify({
+        'output': {'text': request.json['input']['text']},
+        'error': None
+    })
+
+@app.route('/api/v1/health')
+def health():
+    return jsonify({'status': 'ok'})
+
+register()
+threading.Thread(target=heartbeat, daemon=True).start()
+app.run(port=8080)
+```
+
+Four things: register, heartbeat, `/exec/`, `/health`. That's the
+contract.
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Connect-inward | Eliminates K8s RBAC, service mesh, DNS discovery. Works on any deployment target. |
+| Two auth modes | Token for simple. mTLS for production. Same internal identity. |
+| Cluster registry pattern | Proven heartbeat/sweep. No new coordination mechanism. |
+| HTTP/JSON, no gRPC | KISS. 4-endpoint contract. Every language has HTTP. |
+| Kernel proxies all calls | Auth, rate limits, audit, timeouts at single control point. |
+| Package-scoped access | Compromised sidecar can't read other packages. |
+| User sidecars as v0.14.5 | Prove instance contract first (v0.14.0–v0.14.4), then extend to users. Same mechanism, new scope. |
+| Three-layer user RBAC | Admin controls who (permission), what (capability allowlist), user controls visibility (private/shared). Defense in depth. |
+| Capability allowlist for user sidecars | Admin decides what user processes can expose. `terminal.exec` is a deliberate escalation. |
+| Private-by-default user capabilities | User sidecar can't affect other users unless explicitly shared. |
+| Shared caps run with caller's perms | Prevents privilege escalation through shared capabilities. |
+| Reference instance sidecar: embedding | Simpler than LLM. Proves contract. Completes local RAG story. |
+| Reference user sidecar: file bridge | Most compelling user sidecar demo. "Find a file on my laptop and save it to notes" is visceral. |
+| Lower resource limits for user sidecars | User sidecars are less trusted (running on personal devices). Lower defaults, admin can't be overridden by users. |
+| Separate from polish (v0.15.x) | Sidecar is security-critical infrastructure. Polish is quality-of-life. Don't mix. |
+
+---
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+- **Streaming responses.** LLM sidecar needs token streaming. SSE or
+  chunked transfer. Deferred — batch covers embedding, classification,
+  transcoding.
+- **SDK libraries.** Thin wrappers in Python, Go, Node, Rust for
+  registration + heartbeat + parsing. Convenience, not requirement.
+- **Auto-scaling.** Multiple instances of same sidecar, kernel
+  load-balances. No schema change needed — registry supports multiple
+  rows per package.
+- **GPU detection.** Kernel capability for manifest negotiation.
+- **Sidecar-to-sidecar.** Direct calls for performance pipelines.
+  Currently goes through kernel.
+- **User sidecar desktop app.** Electron/Tauri tray app that wraps the
+  user-bridge agent with a GUI for capability management and connection
+  status. Post-1.0.

+# DESIGN — Storage Primitives
+
+**Version:** v0.8.0
+**Status:** Draft
+**Author:** Jeff / Claude session 2026-04-02
+
+---
+
+## Problem
+
+Extensions cannot access blob storage or managed disk paths. The existing
+`ObjectStore` interface (PVC + S3 backends) is fully implemented but only
+exposed to the admin status endpoint — no Starlark bridge exists. The `db`
+module provides structured data storage via extension-scoped tables, but
+there is no equivalent for binary files, no managed filesystem for tools
+like `git`, and no mechanism for extensions to declare environment
+requirements (pgvector, workspace root, S3) that the kernel validates at
+install time.
+
+This blocks every future capability that depends on file handling:
+RAG/vector search, LLM bridge, code workspaces, file upload/sharing,
+media processing, and document indexing.
+
+---
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- Replacing the `db` module. Extension-scoped tables (`ext_{pkg}_{table}`)
+  are the structured data primitive and remain unchanged.
+- Building a KV store. Extensions that need key-value semantics declare a
+  table with `key TEXT, value TEXT` columns — the infrastructure exists.
+- Multi-tenant file isolation beyond package scoping. Team/user-level
+  file ACLs are extension-layer concerns built on top of these primitives.
+- Streaming / chunked upload through Starlark. Large file ingestion goes
+  through HTTP routes; the `files` module handles storage after receipt.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+Three new primitives plus one extension to the existing `db` module.
+
+### Primitive 1: `files` Starlark Module
+
+Bridges the existing `ObjectStore` into the sandbox. Follows the same
+pattern as `db_module.go`: a `Build*Module` factory, permission-gated,
+package-scoped key namespacing.
+
+**Permissions:** `files.read`, `files.write`
+
+**Starlark API:**
+
+```python
+# Write a file. content is string (UTF-8) or bytes.
+# metadata is an optional dict stored alongside (JSON-serialized).
+files.put(name, content, content_type="application/octet-stream", metadata={})
+
+# Read a file. Returns dict: {"content": <bytes>, "content_type": "...", "size": N, "metadata": {...}}
+# Returns None if not found.
+result = files.get(name)
+
+# Read metadata only (no content transfer). Returns dict or None.
+meta = files.meta(name)
+
+# List files by prefix. Returns list of dicts: [{"name": "...", "size": N, "content_type": "..."}]
+entries = files.list(prefix="", limit=100)
+
+# Delete a file. Idempotent — no error if missing.
+files.delete(name)
+
+# Delete all files under a prefix. Use with caution.
+files.delete_prefix(prefix)
+
+# Check existence without reading.
+exists = files.exists(name)
+```
+
+**Key namespacing:**
+
+All keys are automatically prefixed with `ext/{packageID}/`. An extension
+calling `files.put("models/v1.bin", data)` writes to the ObjectStore key
+`ext/my-extension/models/v1.bin`. Extensions cannot escape their namespace.
+
+Name validation rejects `..`, absolute paths, and control characters —
+same sanitization rules as `physicalTable()` in `db_module.go`.
+
+**Implementation notes:**
+
+- New file: `sandbox/files_module.go`
+- `FilesModuleConfig` struct mirrors `DBModuleConfig`:
+  ```go
+  type FilesModuleConfig struct {
+      PackageID    string
+      CanWrite     bool
+      Store        storage.ObjectStore
+  }
+  ```
+- Metadata is stored as a companion JSON object at key
+  `ext/{packageID}/_meta/{name}`. This avoids schema changes — the
+  ObjectStore interface is unchanged. The `files` module manages the
+  companion transparently.
+- Size limit per `files.put()` call: 50MB (configurable via
+  `EXT_FILES_MAX_SIZE`). Enforced in the builtin before calling
+  `Store.Put()`.
+- `files.get()` returns content as `starlark.Bytes` for binary safety.
+  Starlark's `Bytes` type was added in go.starlark.net v0.0.0-20240725214946
+  and handles non-UTF-8 content correctly.
+- If `ObjectStore` is nil (storage not configured), the module is not
+  injected — same pattern as `db` module when `r.db == nil`.
+
+**Runner wiring:**
+
+```go
+// In buildModulesWithLibCtx, add cases:
+case models.ExtPermFilesRead:
+    if filesLevel < 1 { filesLevel = 1 }
+case models.ExtPermFilesWrite:
+    filesLevel = 2
+
+// After permission loop:
+if filesLevel > 0 && r.objectStore != nil {
+    modules["files"] = BuildFilesModule(ctx, FilesModuleConfig{
+        PackageID: packageID,
+        CanWrite:  filesLevel == 2,
+        Store:     r.objectStore,
+    })
+}
+```
+
+Runner gains `SetObjectStore(s storage.ObjectStore)` setter, called from
+`main.go` after `storage.Init()`.
+
+---
+
+### Primitive 2: `workspace` Starlark Module
+
+Managed disk directories for extensions that need a real filesystem —
+git repos, compilers, ffmpeg, pandoc, code analysis tools. These tools
+cannot operate through put/get blob semantics; they need paths.
+
+**Permission:** `workspace.manage`
+
+**Starlark API:**
+
+```python
+# Create a named workspace directory. Returns the absolute path.
+# Idempotent — returns existing path if already created.
+path = workspace.create(name)
+
+# Get the path for an existing workspace. Returns string or None.
+path = workspace.path(name)
+
+# List workspace names for this extension.
+names = workspace.list()
+
+# Delete a workspace and all its contents.
+workspace.delete(name)
+
+# Disk usage in bytes for a workspace.
+size = workspace.usage(name)
+```
+
+**Directory layout:**
+
+```
+{WORKSPACE_ROOT}/
+  {packageID}/
+    {name}/
+      ... (extension-managed contents)
+```
+
+`WORKSPACE_ROOT` defaults to `/data/workspaces` (configurable via
+`WORKSPACE_ROOT` env var). The kernel creates the package subdirectory
+on first `workspace.create()`. Extensions own everything below their
+directory — the kernel does not inspect contents.
+
+**Implementation notes:**
+
+- New file: `sandbox/workspace_module.go`
+- `WorkspaceModuleConfig`:
+  ```go
+  type WorkspaceModuleConfig struct {
+      PackageID     string
+      WorkspaceRoot string
+  }
+  ```
+- Name validation: same rules as table names (`^[a-z][a-z0-9_]{0,62}$`).
+  No path separators, no `..`, no spaces.
+- `workspace.create()` calls `os.MkdirAll` for the scoped path.
+- `workspace.delete()` calls `os.RemoveAll` — destructive by design.
+  Extensions must handle confirmation in their own UX.
+- `workspace.usage()` walks the directory tree and sums file sizes.
+  Bounded by a 10-second context timeout to prevent hangs on huge trees.
+- **Quota enforcement** (optional): `WORKSPACE_QUOTA_MB` env var. When
+  set, `workspace.create()` checks cumulative usage for the package
+  before creating. Returns error if quota exceeded. Default: unlimited.
+- If `WORKSPACE_ROOT` is empty or not writable, the module is not
+  injected. Extensions that declare `workspace.manage` without the
+  root configured will have their permission granted but the module
+  absent — same degradation pattern as `db` when no DB is available.
+
+**Runner wiring:**
+
+```go
+case models.ExtPermWorkspaceManage:
+    if r.workspaceRoot != "" {
+        modules["workspace"] = BuildWorkspaceModule(ctx, WorkspaceModuleConfig{
+            PackageID:     packageID,
+            WorkspaceRoot: r.workspaceRoot,
+        })
+    }
+```
+
+Runner gains `SetWorkspaceRoot(path string)` setter.
+
+**Security considerations:**
+
+- The returned path is an absolute filesystem path. Extensions can pass
+  this to `http` module calls (e.g., POST a file to an API) or use it
+  in `db` records as a reference. They cannot execute arbitrary binaries —
+  the Starlark sandbox has no `os.exec`. Execution requires a sidecar
+  tier package or an `api_route` handler that shells out server-side.
+- For sidecar-tier packages that _can_ execute binaries, the workspace
+  path is the designated scratch space. The kernel ensures the path is
+  within the scoped directory via `filepath.Clean` + prefix check.
+
+---
+
+### Primitive 3: Capability Negotiation
+
+Extensions declare environment requirements in their manifest. The kernel
+validates these at install time and reports failures with actionable
+messages. This is what makes progressive enhancement strategies (e.g.,
+three-tier vector search) work.
+
+**Manifest field:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "vector-store",
+  "capabilities": {
+    "required": ["files.read", "files.write"],
+    "optional": ["pgvector"]
+  },
+  "permissions": ["db.write", "files.write"],
+  "db_tables": {
+    "embeddings": {
+      "columns": {
+        "source_id": "text",
+        "chunk_text": "text",
+        "embedding": "vector(384)"
+      },
+      "indexes": [["source_id"]]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`capabilities.required` — install fails if any are missing. Admin gets
+a clear error: "Package 'vector-store' requires capability 'pgvector'
+which is not available. Run `CREATE EXTENSION vector;` in your PostgreSQL
+database to enable it."
+
+`capabilities.optional` — install succeeds regardless. The capability
+state is queryable at runtime so extensions can degrade gracefully.
+
+**Runtime query (Starlark):**
+
+Settings module is the natural home since it's always available:
+
+```python
+# Returns True/False for a capability name.
+has_pgvector = settings.has_capability("pgvector")
+```
+
+**Kernel capability registry:**
+
+A simple function in the `handlers` package that probes the environment:
+
+```go
+func DetectCapabilities(db *sql.DB, isPostgres bool, workspaceRoot string, objStore storage.ObjectStore) map[string]bool {
+    caps := make(map[string]bool)
+
+    // pgvector: check pg_extension
+    if isPostgres && db != nil {
+        var exists bool
+        row := db.QueryRow("SELECT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM pg_extension WHERE extname='vector')")
+        if row.Scan(&exists) == nil && exists {
+            caps["pgvector"] = true
+        }
+    }
+
+    // workspace: check root is writable
+    if workspaceRoot != "" && storage.IsPathWritable(workspaceRoot) {
+        caps["workspace"] = true
+    }
+
+    // object storage: check configured and healthy
+    if objStore != nil {
+        if err := objStore.Healthy(context.Background()); err == nil {
+            caps["object_storage"] = true
+        }
+    }
+
+    // s3: specific backend check
+    if objStore != nil && objStore.Backend() == "s3" {
+        caps["s3"] = true
+    }
+
+    // postgres: dialect check
+    if isPostgres {
+        caps["postgres"] = true
+    }
+
+    return caps
+}
+```
+
+Called once at startup, stored on the `Runner` (or a shared config
+struct). Re-probed on admin request for the capabilities endpoint.
+
+**Install-time validation:**
+
+In the package install handler (`handlers/extensions.go`), after
+`ParseDBTables` and before `SyncManifestPermissions`:
+
+```go
+if caps, ok := ParseCapabilities(manifestMap); ok {
+    missing := CheckRequiredCapabilities(caps.Required, detectedCaps)
+    if len(missing) > 0 {
+        // Roll back: delete the just-created package row
+        h.stores.Packages.Delete(c.Request.Context(), pkg.ID)
+        c.JSON(422, gin.H{
+            "error":   "missing required capabilities",
+            "missing": missing,
+            "help":    capabilityHelpText(missing),
+        })
+        return
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Admin API:**
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/admin/capabilities
+→ {"pgvector": true, "workspace": true, "object_storage": true, "s3": false, "postgres": true}
+```
+
+Displayed in the Admin UI alongside storage status. Gives operators
+visibility into what their deployment supports.
+
+---
+
+### Extension to `db` Module: Vector Column Type
+
+The existing `mapColType()` in `ext_db_schema.go` gains a `vector` type
+with progressive enhancement across backends.
+
+**Manifest declaration:**
+
+```json
+"db_tables": {
+  "embeddings": {
+    "columns": {
+      "embedding": "vector(384)"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Column type mapping:**
+
+| Manifest type    | PG + pgvector           | PG without pgvector | SQLite       |
+|------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|--------------|
+| `vector(N)`      | `vector(N)`             | `JSONB`             | `TEXT`       |
+
+Implementation in `mapColType`:
+
+```go
+case "vector":
+    // vector or vector(384) — extract dimension if present
+    dim := extractVectorDim(typStr) // returns "384" or ""
+    if isPostgres && hasPgVector {
+        if dim != "" {
+            return fmt.Sprintf("vector(%s)", dim)
+        }
+        return "vector"
+    }
+    if isPostgres {
+        return "JSONB" // store as JSON array, brute-force search
+    }
+    return "TEXT" // SQLite: JSON array as text
+```
+
+`hasPgVector` is passed through a new field on a `SchemaConfig` struct
+(or detected inline — the capability registry result is available at
+table creation time).
+
+**New `db` module function — `db.query_similar()`:**
+
+```python
+# Find rows with embeddings closest to the query vector.
+# Returns list of row dicts with _distance appended.
+results = db.query_similar(
+    table="embeddings",
+    column="embedding",
+    vector=[0.1, 0.2, ...],  # query vector (list of floats)
+    limit=10,
+    filters={"source_id": "doc-123"}  # optional WHERE clause
+)
+```
+
+**Backend dispatch:**
+
+- **PG + pgvector:** Uses `ORDER BY embedding <=> $1 LIMIT $2` with
+  native vector distance operator.
+- **PG without pgvector / SQLite:** Loads candidate rows (respecting
+  `filters`), deserializes JSON arrays, computes cosine similarity in
+  Go, sorts, returns top-N. This is the "it works but slowly" fallback —
+  acceptable for small corpora (<10k rows), documented as such.
+
+Implementation: new function `dbQuerySimilar()` in `db_module.go`,
+gated on `db.read` permission (read-only operation). The function
+checks `cfg.HasPgVector` to choose the fast or slow path.
+
+`DBModuleConfig` gains:
+
+```go
+type DBModuleConfig struct {
+    PackageID   string
+    CanWrite    bool
+    DB          *sql.DB
+    IsPostgres  bool
+    HasPgVector bool  // NEW: enables native vector ops
+}
+```
+
+Wired from the capability registry at module build time.
+
+---
+
+## New Permission Constants
+
+```go
+// In models/models_extension_perm.go:
+const (
+    ExtPermFilesRead        = "files.read"
+    ExtPermFilesWrite       = "files.write"
+    ExtPermWorkspaceManage  = "workspace.manage"
+)
+```
+
+Added to `ValidExtensionPermissions` map.
+
+---
+
+## Schema Changes
+
+**Migration 015 — none required for kernel tables.**
+
+The `files` module uses the existing `ObjectStore` interface — no new
+kernel tables. Metadata companions are stored as ObjectStore objects.
+
+The `workspace` module uses the filesystem — no tables.
+
+Capabilities are detected at runtime — no tables.
+
+The `vector` column type is handled by extension DDL generation in
+`ext_db_schema.go` — no kernel migration.
+
+The new permission constants are code-only changes.

+## Example: Vector Store Extension
+
+A `vector-store` library extension consuming all four primitives:

+```
+
+**script.star:**
+```python
+def ingest(source_name, chunks):
+    """Store document chunks and generate embeddings."""
+    for i, chunk in enumerate(chunks):
+        row = db.insert("documents", {

+    # http access to call a clustering API, or by a sidecar
+    # that runs sklearn. The vector-store library provides
+    # the data access pattern; clustering logic lives elsewhere.
+    pass
+```
+
+---
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+- **Content-addressed deduplication.** If multiple extensions store the
+  same PDF, the ObjectStore holds duplicate bytes. A SHA256-keyed blob
+  layer with refcounting would deduplicate transparently. Deferred —
+  adds complexity without clear need pre-1.0.
+
+- **Extension-to-extension file sharing.** The current design isolates
+  file namespaces per extension. A `files.grant(name, target_pkg_id)`
+  primitive could enable controlled sharing. Deferred — composition
+  through API routes is sufficient initially.
+
+- **Streaming upload for large files.** Starlark `files.put()` buffers
+  in memory. For files >50MB, extensions should use HTTP `api_routes`
+  with Go handlers that stream directly to ObjectStore. The `files`
+  module is for extension-internal storage, not user-facing upload.
+
+- **Workspace snapshots.** `workspace.snapshot(name)` → creates a
+  tarball in the `files` store. Useful for backup/reproducibility.
+  Deferred — extensions can implement this themselves.
+
+- **Rate limiting / quota on `db.query_similar()` fallback.** The
+  brute-force path loads all candidate rows into Go memory. For large
+  tables this is dangerous. A row-count guard (e.g., refuse if >50k
+  candidates) with a clear error message pointing to pgvector is the
+  right safety valve.

+# Design: Vector Column Type (v0.8.3)
+
+## Problem
+
+Extensions building semantic search, RAG, or recommendation features need to
+store and query high-dimensional vectors (embeddings). Without kernel-level
+support, each extension would need to reinvent storage, serialization, and
+similarity search — duplicating effort and missing the pgvector optimization
+path.
+
+## Design
+
+### Three-tier progressive enhancement
+
+| Backend | Column DDL | Storage | Search |
+|---------|-----------|---------|--------|
+| Postgres + pgvector | `vector(N)` + HNSW index | Native vector type | `<=>` operator (index-backed) |
+| Postgres (no pgvector) | `JSONB` | JSON array | Go-side cosine distance |
+| SQLite | `TEXT` | JSON string | Go-side cosine distance |
+
+Extensions declare `"vector(N)"` in their manifest `db_tables` block.
+The kernel maps this to the appropriate SQL type at install time based on
+detected capabilities.
+
+### Manifest example
+
+```json
+{
+  "db_tables": {
+    "documents": {
+      "columns": {
+        "title": "text",
+        "embedding": "vector(384)"
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "capabilities": {
+    "optional": ["pgvector"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### API surface
+
+```python
+# Insert (vector as list)
+db.insert("documents", {"title": "hello", "embedding": [0.1, 0.2, ...]})
+
+# Similarity search
+rows = db.query_similar(
+    "documents", "embedding",
+    vector=[0.1, 0.2, ...],
+    limit=10,
+    filters={"active": True},
+    metric="cosine"
+)
+# → [{..., "_distance": 0.023}, ...]
+```
+
+### Dispatch paths
+
+**pgvector path** — SQL-side computation with index:
+```sql
+SELECT *, (embedding <=> $1::vector) AS _distance
+FROM ext_pkg_documents
+WHERE ... ORDER BY embedding <=> $1::vector LIMIT $2
+```
+
+**Fallback path** — Go-side computation:
+1. `SELECT * FROM table WHERE filters LIMIT 1000`
+2. Parse each row's vector column from JSON
+3. Compute cosine distance in Go
+4. Sort by distance, return top N with `_distance` injected
+
+### Dimension validation
+
+- Manifest: 1 ≤ N ≤ 4096 (validated by `parseVectorDim`)
+- Insert-time: no dimension validation (store whatever list is given)
+- Query-time: dimension mismatches produce distance = 1.0 (treated as unrelated)
+
+### Performance characteristics
+
+| Path | 1K rows | 10K rows | 100K rows |
+|------|---------|----------|-----------|
+| pgvector (HNSW) | <1ms | <5ms | <10ms |
+| Fallback (Go) | <10ms | ~100ms | Not recommended |
+
+Fallback caps at 1000 rows fetched. Extensions needing large-scale similarity
+search should declare `capabilities.optional: ["pgvector"]` and degrade
+gracefully.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Only cosine distance metric (v0.8.3). L2 / inner product can be added later.
+- No dimension validation at insert time.
+- Fallback path fetches at most 1000 rows — not suitable for large datasets.
+- HNSW index is only created for pgvector backends.

+# DESIGN — Workflow System Redesign (0.9.x)
+
+**Version:** v0.9.0
+**Status:** Draft
+**Author:** Jeff / Claude session 2026-04-03
+
+---
+
+## Problem
+
+The workflow system spans ~7,600 lines across 25+ files and was built
+incrementally from v0.3.x through v0.7.10. It works, but several
+concepts are redundant, primitives are buried, and the Starlark module
+is read-only. Before shipping reference extensions (v0.10.x) that
+build on workflows, the system needs cleanup and promotion of reusable
+primitives.
+
+## Audit Summary
+
+Full audit in `/config/Downloads/AUDIT-workflow-0.9.md`. Classification:
+
+### KEEP — Core primitives that survive
+
+| Component | File(s) | Lines | Rationale |

+| Per-stage `audience` field | Multi-page packages with mixed access declarations |
+| `entry_mode` (public_link/team_only) | Package-level `scope: adoptable` + per-page access |
+| `stage_mode` proliferation (4 values) | Collapse to 3: form / delegated / automated |
+| `stage_type` (simple/dynamic/automated) | Redundant with `starlark_hook` presence check |
+| `AdoptTeamWorkflow` clone | Package adoption model |
+| `ExportWorkflowPackage` endpoint | Standard package export |
+
+### PROMOTE — Buried features to expose as kernel primitives
+
+1. **Roles → kernel primitive**: `team_user_roles` table, manifest `requires_roles`,
+   team admin UI, kernel middleware, Starlark SDK
+2. **Typed forms → SDK primitive**: Move from workflow models to `forms` package,
+   FE SDK `sw.forms.render()` / `sw.forms.validate()`
+3. **Conditional routing → SDK primitive**: Starlark `routing.evaluate(rules, data)`
+4. **Workflow Starlark module → full read/write**: `workflow.start()`, `.advance()`,
+   `.cancel()`, `.submit_signoff()`
+
+---
+
+## Technical Debt
+
+### Starlark Converter Duplication
+
+Three files contain nearly identical Go↔Starlark conversion functions:
+
+| File | Functions |
+|------|-----------|
+| `workflow/automated.go` | `goToStarlark`, `starlarkDictToMap`, `starlarkToGo` |
+| `handlers/workflow_hooks.go` | `starlarkDictToMap`, `starlarkToGo`, `jsonToStarlark` |
+| `sandbox/workflow_module.go` | `goValToStarlark` |
+
+**Fix:** Consolidate into `sandbox/convert.go`.
+
+### Snapshot Format Inconsistency
+
+Two formats exist (wrapped `{stages, workflow}` vs legacy flat array).
+Three copies of the parser across engine, instance handlers, and
+assignment handlers.
+
+**Fix:** Consolidate into one exported function. Standardize on wrapped format.

+## Files Affected (by component)
+
+### Converter Consolidation (v0.9.0)
+- New: `sandbox/convert.go`
+- Modified: `workflow/automated.go`, `handlers/workflow_hooks.go`, `sandbox/workflow_module.go`
+
+### Team Roles (v0.9.1)
+- New: migration (PG + SQLite), `store/team_roles.go`, `handlers/team_roles.go`
+- Modified: manifest validation, adoption flow, team admin UI
+
+### Typed Forms (v0.9.3)
+- New: `forms/` package (extracted from `models/workflow.go`)
+- New: `sw.forms` SDK module
+- Modified: workflow engine to import from `forms/` instead of inline
+
+### Workflow Starlark Module (v0.9.5)
+- Modified: `sandbox/workflow_module.go` — add start/advance/cancel/signoff
+- Modified: `workflow/engine.go` — extract interface to break circular import
+
+---
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- Rewriting the workflow engine. The state machine is correct and stays.
+- Adding a visual workflow builder. That's an extension concern, not kernel.
+- Multi-tenancy changes. Team scoping works as designed.

+## Capabilities
+
+Extensions can declare environment requirements via the `capabilities`
+manifest field. The kernel validates these at install time.
+
+```json
+{
+  "capabilities": {
+    "required": ["postgres"],
+    "optional": ["pgvector", "workspace"]

+`postgres`. The admin can view detected capabilities at
+**Admin > System > Capabilities** or via `GET /admin/capabilities`.
+
+## User Permissions
+
+Extensions can register custom permissions that the admin assigns to
+user groups. This controls access to extension features beyond the
+sandbox permission model.
+
+```json
+{
+  "user_permissions": ["image-gen.use", "image-gen.admin"],
+  "gate_permission": "image-gen.use"

+- **gate_permission** — if set, the kernel checks this permission before
+  calling `on_request`. Unauthorized users get a 403 without the
+  extension code executing.
+
+In Starlark, check permissions inline via `req["permissions"]` or call
+`permissions.check(user_id, "image-gen.use")`.
+
+## Extension Composability
+
+Extensions compose with each other through three mechanisms: manifest-declared
+**slots** (UI injection points), **contributions** (UI components injected into
+those slots), and cross-package **function calls** via `lib.require()`.
+
+### Slots — Host Surfaces Declare Injection Points
+
+A surface declares named slots in its manifest where other extensions can
+inject UI components:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "notes",
+  "type": "surface",
+  "slots": {
+    "toolbar-actions": {
+      "description": "Toolbar action buttons",
+      "context": {
+        "noteId": "string",
+        "getContent": "function — returns note body",
+        "setContent": "function — replaces note body"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The surface renders slot contents using the SDK helper:
+
+```javascript
+html`<div class="toolbar">
+    ${sw.slots.renderAll('notes:toolbar-actions', {
+        noteId: note.id,
+        getContent: () => editor.getValue(),
+        setContent: (text) => editor.setValue(text),
+    })}
+</div>`
+```
+
+### Contributions — Extensions Inject UI
+
+An extension declares which slots it contributes to:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "note-dictate",
+  "type": "extension",
+  "contributes": {
+    "notes:toolbar-actions": {
+      "label": "Dictate",
+      "icon": "🎤",
+      "description": "Voice-to-text dictation"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+In its JavaScript, it registers the component:
+
+```javascript
+sw.slots.register('notes:toolbar-actions', {
+    id: 'note-dictate',
+    priority: 200,
+    component: ({ noteId, setContent, getContent }) => {
+        // ... component implementation
+        return html`<button class="sw-btn sw-btn--ghost">🎤</button>`;
+    }
+});
+```
+
+Contributions are soft-coupled — install order doesn't matter. The admin
+can view all slots and contributors at **Admin > Packages** or via
+`GET /api/v1/admin/slots`.
+
+### Cross-Package Function Calls
+
+Any package that declares `exports` in its manifest can be called by other
+packages via `lib.require()`. The caller declares the dependency:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "note-ai",
+  "depends": ["llm-bridge"],
+  "permissions": ["api.http"]
+}
+```
+
+In Starlark:
+
+```python
+llm = lib.require("llm-bridge")
+result = llm.complete([{"role": "user", "content": prompt}])
+```
+
+The called function runs with the *target* package's permissions, not the
+caller's. This is the same security model as library packages.
+
+### Slot Naming Convention
+
+Slot names follow `{host-package-id}:{slot-name}`. The colon separates the
+namespace from the slot. Standard slots for first-party packages:
+
+| Slot | Host | Use Case |
+|------|------|----------|
+| `notes:toolbar-actions` | notes | Dictation, AI tools, formatting |
+| `notes:note-footer` | notes | Related items, AI summary |
+| `chat:composer-tools` | chat | Image gen, file attach |
+| `chat:message-actions` | chat | Reactions, translate, bookmark |
+| `chat:image-actions` | chat | Regen, edit, upscale |

+# Multi-Surface Packages
+
+A multi-surface package serves multiple pages from a single package, each
+with its own URL path, access level, and layout. Before v0.9.0, a package
+got one route (`/s/{id}`), one auth posture, and one layout. Now a single
+package can serve a public submission form alongside an authenticated
+dashboard and an admin settings page.
+
+## When to Use Multi-Surface
+
+Use multi-surface when your package has logically related pages that share
+the same backend (Starlark hooks, ext API, database tables) but need:
+
+- **Different access levels** — public intake form + authenticated dashboard
+- **Multiple views** — list view, detail view, edit view, monitor view
+- **Sub-pages** — settings, admin, or debug pages within the package
+
+If your pages don't share backend state, use separate packages instead.
+
+## Manifest Setup
+
+Add a `surfaces` array to your manifest. Each entry declares a page:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "workflow-builder",
+  "title": "Workflow Builder",
+  "type": "full",
+  "version": "0.1.0",
+  "icon": "🔧",
+  "auth": "authenticated",
+  "layout": "single",
+
+  "surfaces": [
+    { "path": "/",                "title": "Workflows" },
+    { "path": "/new",             "title": "New Workflow",    "nav": false },
+    { "path": "/:id/edit",        "title": "Edit Workflow",   "nav": false },
+    { "path": "/monitor",         "title": "Monitor",         "nav": true },
+    { "path": "/monitor/:id",     "title": "Instance Detail", "nav": false }
+  ],
+
+  "hooks": ["surface"],
+  "permissions": ["workflow.access"]
+}
+```
+
+This generates five server routes, all under `/s/workflow-builder/`:
+
+| Route | Access | Nav |
+|-------|--------|-----|
+| `/s/workflow-builder/` | authenticated | yes |
+| `/s/workflow-builder/new` | authenticated | no |
+| `/s/workflow-builder/:id/edit` | authenticated | no |
+| `/s/workflow-builder/monitor` | authenticated | yes |
+| `/s/workflow-builder/monitor/:id` | authenticated | no |
+
+### Surface Entry Fields
+
+| Field    | Default        | Description |
+|----------|----------------|-------------|
+| `path`   | **required**   | URL path relative to `/s/{id}`. Supports `:param` segments. |
+| `access` | package `auth` | `public`, `authenticated`, `admin`, or `group:{name}`. |
+| `title`  | package `title`| Label shown in nav and page title. |
+| `layout` | package `layout`| `single` or `editor`. |
+| `nav`    | `true` for `/`, `false` otherwise | Whether this surface appears in the sidebar. |
+
+### Mixed Access Levels
+
+A package can mix public and authenticated surfaces:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "bug-tracker",
+  "auth": "authenticated",
+  "surfaces": [
+    { "path": "/submit", "access": "public",  "title": "Report a Bug" },
+    { "path": "/",       "title": "Dashboard" },
+    { "path": "/:id",    "title": "Bug Detail", "nav": false },
+    { "path": "/admin",  "access": "admin",   "title": "Settings", "nav": false }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The kernel enforces access per-surface. Unauthenticated visitors can reach
+`/submit` but are redirected to login if they try `/` or `/:id`.
+
+## Frontend: Routing Within Your Package
+
+### Reading the Current Surface
+
+When your package JS loads, two globals tell you which surface was matched:
+
+```js
+const path   = window.__SURFACE_PATH__   || '/';
+const params = window.__SURFACE_PARAMS__ || {};
+```
+
+Use these to decide which view to render:
+
+```js
+function render() {
+    const path   = window.__SURFACE_PATH__ || '/';
+    const params = window.__SURFACE_PARAMS__ || {};
+
+    const root = document.getElementById('surface-root');
+
+    switch (path) {
+        case '/':           return renderList(root);
+        case '/new':        return renderEditor(root, null);
+        case '/:id/edit':   return renderEditor(root, params.id);
+        case '/monitor':    return renderMonitor(root);
+        case '/monitor/:id':return renderDetail(root, params.id);
+        default:            return render404(root);
+    }
+}
+
+render();
+```
+
+### SPA Navigation with `sw.navigate()`
+
+Navigate between surfaces without a full page reload:
+
+```js
+// Navigate to a static path
+sw.navigate('/new');
+
+// Navigate with params
+sw.navigate('/:id/edit', { id: 'wf-42' });
+
+// Navigate to monitor sub-page
+sw.navigate('/monitor/:id', { id: 'inst-7' });
+```
+
+`sw.navigate()` does three things:
+1. Updates `window.__SURFACE_PATH__` and `window.__SURFACE_PARAMS__`
+2. Calls `history.pushState()` to update the URL
+3. Emits a `surface.navigate` event
+
+### Listening for Navigation Events
+
+Re-render when the user navigates (including browser back/forward):
+
+```js
+sw.on('surface.navigate', ({ path, params }) => {
+    window.__SURFACE_PATH__   = path;
+    window.__SURFACE_PARAMS__ = params;
+    render();
+});
+```
+
+### Links Between Surfaces
+
+For simple `<a>` links that do full page loads:
+
+```html
+<a href="/s/workflow-builder/monitor">Monitor</a>
+```
+
+For SPA-style navigation:
+
+```js
+button.onclick = () => sw.navigate('/monitor');
+```
+
+## API Routes
+
+All surfaces in a package share the same ext API. API calls go through
+`/s/{id}/api/*` regardless of which surface is active:
+
+```js
+// These work from any surface in the package
+const items = await sw.api.get('/items');
+const item  = await sw.api.get(`/items/${id}`);
+await sw.api.post('/items', { title: 'New item' });
+```
+
+The ext API handler checks `package.status == "active"` — if the package
+is in `pending_review`, all API calls return 403.
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+Packages without a `surfaces` array continue to work. The kernel
+synthesizes a single-entry array from the legacy `auth` and `layout`
+fields:
+
+```
+auth: "authenticated" + layout: "single"
+  →  surfaces: [{ "path": "/", "access": "authenticated", "layout": "single" }]
+```
+
+No migration is required for existing packages.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- **No cross-package routing.** Surface paths are relative to the package
+  mount point. A package cannot claim arbitrary top-level routes.
+- **No per-surface Starlark hooks.** All surfaces share the same backend
+  hooks. Use the surface path in your hook logic to differentiate.
+- **No SSR.** Surface rendering is client-side. The kernel serves the
+  shell template; your JS renders the content.

+## Multi-Surface Packages
+
+A package can serve multiple pages, each with its own path, access level,
+title, and layout. Declare a `surfaces` array in the manifest:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "bug-tracker",
+  "title": "Bug Tracker",
+  "type": "full",
+  "auth": "authenticated",
+  "layout": "single",
+  "surfaces": [

+    { "path": "/submit", "access": "public", "title": "Report a Bug" },
+    { "path": "/:id",    "title": "Bug Detail", "nav": false },
+    { "path": "/admin",  "access": "admin",  "title": "Settings", "nav": false }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Surface Entry Fields
+
+| Field    | Type   | Default        | Description |
+|----------|--------|----------------|-------------|
+| `path`   | string | **required**   | Relative to `/s/{pkg-id}`. Supports `:param` segments. |
+| `access` | string | package `auth` | `public`, `authenticated`, `admin`, `group:{name}`. |
+| `title`  | string | package `title`| Human label. Used in nav if `nav: true`. |
+| `layout` | string | package `layout`| `single`, `editor`, or future layouts. |
+| `nav`    | bool   | see rules      | Show in sidebar navigation. |
+
+### Nav Visibility Rules
+
+- `path: "/"` defaults to `nav: true` (primary entry point)
+- All others default to `nav: false` (sub-pages)
+- Explicit `"nav": true` overrides — a package can put multiple entries in nav
+- The sidebar links to the first surface with `nav: true`
+
+### Backward Compatibility
+
+If `surfaces` is absent, the kernel synthesizes one entry from the legacy
+`auth` and `layout` fields. No existing packages break.
+
+### Client-Side Navigation
+
+Within a multi-surface package, use `sw.navigate()` for SPA-style routing:
+
+```js
+const path = window.__SURFACE_PATH__ || '/';
+const params = window.__SURFACE_PARAMS__ || {};
+
+if (path === '/')           renderDashboard();
+if (path === '/submit')     renderSubmitForm();
+if (path === '/:id')        renderDetail(params.id);
+
+// Navigate to another surface within the package
+sw.navigate('/submit');
+sw.navigate('/:id', { id: 'bug-42' });
+
+// Listen for navigation events (including back/forward)
+sw.on('surface.navigate', ({ path, params }) => {
+    renderView(path, params);
+});

+Surfaces declare slots where other extensions can inject UI:
+
+```json
+{
+  "slots": {
+    "toolbar-actions": {
+      "description": "Toolbar action buttons",
+      "context": {
+        "noteId": "string — current note ID",
+        "getContent": "function — returns note body text"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Slot names are namespaced at runtime as `{package-id}:{slot-name}` (e.g., `notes:toolbar-actions`). The `context` field documents what data the slot provides — it is not enforced at runtime.
+
+### Contributing to Slots
+
+Extensions declare which slots they inject into:
+
+```json
+{
+  "contributes": {
+    "notes:toolbar-actions": {
+      "label": "Dictate",
+      "icon": "🎤",
+      "description": "Voice-to-text dictation"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Contributing extensions can be installed before or after their host surface — the coupling is soft. The admin can view all slots and their contributors at `GET /api/v1/admin/slots`.
+
+### Cross-Package Function Calls
+
+Any package that declares `exports` can be called via `lib.require()`, not just library-type packages. The caller must declare the target in its `depends` array:
+
+```json
+{
+  "depends": ["image-gen"],
+  "permissions": ["api.http"]
+}
+```

+
+Core libraries and remaining extensions. `llm-bridge` is the key
+delivery — extends both notes and chat through composability primitives,
+and introduces the tool meta-tool pattern.
+
+| Version | Title |
+|---------|-------|
+| v0.13.0 | `vector-store` Library |
+| v0.13.1 | `llm-bridge` Core Library |
+| v0.13.2 | `llm-bridge` → Chat: Multi-Persona Context + Tool Meta-Tool |
+| v0.13.3 | `llm-bridge` → Notes: AI Toolbar Actions |
+| v0.13.4 | `file-share` Extension |
+| v0.13.5 | `code-workspace` Extension |
+| v0.13.6 | `image-gen` + `image-edit` Extensions |
+| v0.13.7 | Tool Meta-Tool Hardening + Scoping |
+| v0.13.8 | Integration Quality Gate |
+
+**v0.13.1 — `llm-bridge` Core:**
+Model abstraction, provider BYOK via connections, `complete()`,
+`embed()`, `classify()`. Persona CRUD (name, avatar, system_prompt,
+visibility). Layered prompt architecture (6 layers: admin safety →
+folder context → persona identity → conversation → tools → user).
+Admin safety rails as non-overridable platform setting.
+
+**v0.13.2 — Chat Integration:**
+Contributes folder attributes (system_prompt, context_policy,
+model_override, allowed_tools) to chat. Contributes "Invite AI" /
+"Dismiss AI" to `chat:participant-actions`. Contributes "AI Reply" /
+"AI Summarize" to `chat:message-actions`. Contributes "Ask AI" to
+`chat:composer-tools`. Context archetype implementation (resident /
+scoped / stateless). Session tracking, gap handling, memory extraction
+on dismiss. **Tool meta-tool v1:** `sw.actions.list()` → LLM tool
+definitions. AI calls extension actions, results flow back into chat.
+
+**v0.13.3 — Notes Integration:**
+Contributes "AI Summarize" / "AI Translate" / "AI Fix Grammar" to
+`notes:toolbar-actions`. Contributes `/ai` to `notes:slash-commands`.
+Uses `notes.get` / `notes.search` actions for context.
+
+**v0.13.7 — Tool Meta-Tool Hardening:**
+Three-tier tool scoping: admin blocklist (global), folder allowed_tools
+(space-level), persona allow/deny (character-level). Tool result
+rendering through `sw.renderers`. Rate limiting on tool calls. Audit
+logging of tool use. Error handling (tool failure → graceful message).
+
+**v0.13.8 — Integration Quality Gate:**
+AI participant lifecycle tested end-to-end. Tool meta-tool demonstrated
+with 3+ extensions. All three context archetypes tested. Persona
+creation/sharing across visibility levels. Admin safety rails validated
+(prompt injection resistance). Performance: completion latency measured.

+- Chat reference extension shipped (all v0.12.x)
+- `llm-bridge` extends both notes and chat through composability
+- Tool meta-tool demonstrated: AI uses 3+ extension actions in a

+- At least 2 panels consumed cross-package
+- At least 2 slot contributions per host surface demonstrated

+
+## Design Decisions Log
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Panels as kernel primitive (v0.10.x) | Z-index coordination, drag/resize, layout negotiation are kernel concerns. |
+| UI/UX redesign as first version in each reference series | Every feature builds on the visual foundation. |
+| Notes before chat | Notes is simpler (no realtime) and proves storage/rendering/composability. Chat adds realtime + llm-bridge story. |
+| Chat human-to-human first | AI is an extension concern. Keeps chat testable and usable standalone. |
+| Folder attributes as extension bridge | Chat stores attributes it doesn't understand. llm-bridge contributes definitions. Zero coupling. |
+| Action registry as tool registry (meta-tool) | Dynamic, zero-config AI tool-use. Installed extensions = AI capabilities. Uniquely Armature. |
+| Layered prompt architecture (6 layers) | Admin safety not overridable. Clear separation: platform → space → character → context → tools → user. |
+| Personas in llm-bridge, not chat | Chat sees AI as just another participant_type. Persona identity is llm-bridge's concern. |
+| Background images via CSS filter | No server-side processing. `filter: blur() brightness() saturate()` + `opacity` handles any image. |
+| Soft panel deps for notes↔chat | Runtime-resolved, no circular dependency. Both function independently. |
+| llm-bridge after notes + chat | Proves the composability hooks work without being designed for a specific consumer. |

 Requirements:
-- The library must be declared in your package manifest's `dependencies`.
-- The library must be type `library`, status `active`, tier `starlark`.
+- The target package must be declared in your manifest's `depends` array.
+- The target package must declare `exports` in its manifest.
+- The target package must be status `active`, tier `starlark`.
+- Any package type (`library`, `extension`, `full`) can be called as long
+  as it declares exports. This enables full packages to expose callable
+  functions alongside their UI and API routes.
 - Circular dependencies are detected and rejected.
 - Results are cached per execution (calling `require` twice returns the
   same object).
+- The called function runs with the *target* package's permissions, not
+  the caller's.
+
+### permissions
+
+Check whether a user has a specific permission.
+
+```python
+if permissions.check(user_id, "image-gen.use"):
+    # User is authorized
+    ...
+```
+
+Returns `True` if the user has the permission, `False` otherwise (including
+when the user is not found). Resolves the user's groups and merges granted
+permissions — works for both kernel and extension-declared permissions.
+
+### routing
+
+Generic rule-based decision engine. Evaluates an ordered list of conditions
+against a data dict, returning the first matching rule's target string.
+
+```python
+result = routing.evaluate([
+    {"field": "priority", "op": "eq",  "value": "critical", "target": "escalation"},

+], stage_data)
+# Returns "escalation", "manager_review", "gdpr_flow", or None
+```
+
+Each rule is a dict with `field`, `op`, `value`, and `target`. Operators:
+`exists`, `not_exists`, `eq`, `neq`, `gt`, `lt`, `gte`, `lte`, `in`,
+`contains`. First-match-wins; returns `None` if no rule matches.

-# Armature Usability Survey — Automated Checklist
-
-> **Purpose**: Machine-auditable quality gate for the Armature UI.
-> Run all scripts first, then walk each section. A FAIL in any section blocks release.
-
----
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Run these scripts from the project root and save their output:
-
-```bash
-bash scripts/generate-ui-inventory.sh > ui-inventory.json
-bash scripts/check-contrast.sh > contrast-report.txt
-bash scripts/generate-coverage-matrix.sh > coverage-matrix.md
-bash scripts/audit-touch-targets.sh > touch-targets-report.txt
-```
-
----
-
-## Section 1: Viewport Correctness
-
-**Pass criteria:**
-- No CSS file uses `100vh` (should be `100%` or `100dvh`)
-- `.sw-shell` uses `height: 100%`, not `100vh`
-- All extension surfaces use `height: 100%`
-- No `transform: scale()` for zoom (should use CSS `zoom`)
-
-**Files to inspect:**
-- `src/css/sw-shell.css`
-- `src/css/layout.css`
-- `packages/*/css/main.css`
-
-**How to check:**
-```bash
-grep -rn '100vh' src/css/ packages/*/css/ --include='*.css'
-grep -rn 'transform.*scale' src/css/ packages/*/css/ --include='*.css'
-```
-
-**Result:** PASS if zero matches. FAIL if any `100vh` or `transform: scale()` for layout sizing.
-
----
-
-## Section 2: Banner Integration
-
-**Pass criteria:**
-- Banners are in-flow (no `position: fixed` on banner elements)
-- `--banner-top-height` and `--banner-bottom-height` are defined in `:root`
-- Shell layout accounts for banner height via CSS variables, not hardcoded px
-- No surface hardcodes `28px` or other banner height values
-
-**Files to inspect:**
-- `src/css/sw-shell.css`
-- `src/css/variables.css` (`:root` block)
-- `src/js/sw/shell/app-shell.js`
-
-**How to check:**
-```bash
-grep -n 'position.*fixed' src/css/sw-shell.css | grep -i banner
-grep -n '28px' src/css/ -r --include='*.css'
-grep -n 'banner-top-height\|banner-bottom-height' src/css/variables.css
-```
-
-**Result:** PASS if banners are in-flow and height is variable-driven. FAIL if fixed positioning or hardcoded heights.
-
----
-
-## Section 3: Responsive Behavior
-
-**Pass criteria:**
-- Kernel CSS uses `768px` (mobile) and `1024px` (tablet) breakpoints
-- No hardcoded widths that break below 768px (except intentional min-widths on dialogs)
-- Sidebar collapses on mobile
-- Extension surfaces adapt to narrow viewports
-
-**Files to inspect:**
-- `src/css/layout.css`
-- `src/css/surfaces.css`
-- `packages/*/css/main.css`
-
-**How to check:**
-```bash
-# Verify breakpoints used
-grep -rn '@media.*max-width' src/css/ --include='*.css' | grep -v '768\|1024'
-# Check for hardcoded widths
-grep -rn 'width:.*[0-9]\+px' src/css/layout.css | grep -v 'max-width\|min-width\|--'
-```
-
-**Result:** PASS if only 768px and 1024px breakpoints. WARN if other breakpoints exist but are justified. FAIL if layout breaks below 768px.
-
----
-
-## Section 4: Styling Consistency
-
-**Pass criteria:**
-- All spacing uses `--sp-*` tokens (no raw px for padding/margin/gap > 3px)
-- All `border-radius` uses `--radius-sm`, `--radius`, or `--radius-lg`
-- All `font-family` uses `var(--font)` or `var(--mono)`
-- No external font CDN imports (`@import url(` or Google Fonts references)
-- No stale fallback colors (`#b38a4e` or other non-token hex in property values)
-
-**Files to inspect:**
-- All `src/css/*.css`
-- `packages/*/css/main.css`
-
-**How to check:**
-```bash
-# Raw px spacing (padding/margin/gap > 3px, not inside var())
-grep -rnE '(padding|margin|gap):\s*[0-9]+(px|rem)' src/css/ packages/*/css/ --include='*.css' | grep -v 'var(--' | grep -v '0px\|1px\|2px\|3px'
-# Raw border-radius
-grep -rn 'border-radius:' src/css/ packages/*/css/ --include='*.css' | grep -v 'var(--radius'
-# External fonts
-grep -rn '@import url\|fonts.googleapis' src/css/ --include='*.css'
-# Stale fallback gold color
-grep -rn '#b38a4e' src/css/ packages/*/css/ --include='*.css'
-```
-
-**Result:** PASS if zero non-token values (excluding reset/keyframe contexts). WARN for 1-3 edge cases with justification. FAIL for systematic violations.
-
----
-
-## Section 5: Accessibility — Contrast
-
-**Pass criteria:**
-- `contrast-report.txt` shows all PASS for normal text (4.5:1 ratio)
-- No FAIL results in either dark or light theme
-
-**Files to inspect:**
-- `contrast-report.txt` (generated above)
-
-**How to check:**
-```bash
-grep 'FAIL' contrast-report.txt
-```
-
-**Result:** PASS if zero FAIL lines. FAIL if any contrast violation.
-
----
-
-## Section 6: Accessibility — Touch Targets
-
-**Pass criteria:**
-- `touch-targets-report.txt` shows zero violations
-- All close buttons have `min-width: 44px; min-height: 44px` in `@media (max-width: 768px)`
-- Menu items have `min-height: 44px` on mobile (already done in `sw-primitives.css`)
-
-**Files to inspect:**
-- `touch-targets-report.txt` (generated above)
-- `src/css/sw-primitives.css` — close button rules
-
-**How to check:**
-```bash
-grep 'FAIL\|MISSING' touch-targets-report.txt
-```
-
-**Result:** PASS if zero violations. FAIL if any close button lacks mobile touch target.
-
----
-
-## Section 7: Accessibility — Focus Indicators
-
-**Pass criteria:**
-- All interactive primitives have `:focus-visible` styles
-- No `outline: none` without a replacement focus indicator
-- Focus ring is visible on both dark and light themes
-
-**Files to inspect:**
-- `src/css/sw-primitives.css`
-- `src/css/primitives.css`
-- `src/css/variables.css`
-
-**How to check:**
-```bash
-# Check for focus-visible on key primitives
-for cls in sw-btn sw-input sw-dropdown__trigger sw-menu__item sw-tabs__tab; do
-  echo -n "$cls: "
-  grep -c "\.${cls}.*:focus-visible\|\.${cls}:focus-visible" src/css/sw-primitives.css src/css/primitives.css 2>/dev/null || echo "0"
-done
-# Check for outline:none without replacement
-grep -n 'outline.*none\|outline.*0' src/css/*.css | grep -v 'focus-visible\|focus-within'
-```
-
-**Result:** PASS if all 5 key primitives have `:focus-visible`. WARN if outline:none exists with adequate replacement. FAIL if missing focus indicators.
-
----
-
-## Section 8: Component Uniformity
-
-**Pass criteria:**
-- `coverage-matrix.md` shows no deprecated component usage (no ⚠ in the deprecated row)
-- All surfaces use `sw-*` primitives, not old `.btn-*`, `.toast`, `.popup-menu`
-
-**Files to inspect:**
-- `coverage-matrix.md` (generated above)
-
-**How to check:**
-```bash
-grep '⚠' coverage-matrix.md
-```
-
-**Result:** PASS if zero ⚠ markers. FAIL if any deprecated component still in use.
-
----
-
-## Scoring
-
-| Section | Weight | Result |
-|---------|--------|--------|
-| 1. Viewport Correctness | Required | |
-| 2. Banner Integration | Required | |
-| 3. Responsive Behavior | Required | |
-| 4. Styling Consistency | Required | |
-| 5. Contrast | Required | |
-| 6. Touch Targets | Required | |
-| 7. Focus Indicators | Required | |
-| 8. Component Uniformity | Required | |
-
-**Overall:** PASS requires all sections PASS or WARN. Any FAIL blocks the release.
-
----
-
-## After the Survey
-
-1. Fix all FAIL items
-2. Re-run affected scripts to confirm fixes
-3. Re-run the full survey
-4. Tag `v0.6.16` only after a clean survey pass

-# Tasks
-
-**Status: Proof of Concept**
-
-Task management surface rebuilt as a Starlark extension. Ships with core
-for SDK validation purposes, not as a permanent commitment.
-
-## Purpose
-
-Validates all three trigger primitives (event bus, webhook, cron) and
-proves the full extension surface stack: Starlark API routes, ext_data
-tables, SDK UI components, and notifications.
-
-## Graduation Criteria
-
-To become a permanent core package, tasks must meet:
-
-1. **Feature completeness** — assignees, comments, attachments, subtasks
-2. **Test coverage** — API contract tests in the ICD test runner
-3. **Performance** — tested at 1000+ tasks with acceptable load times
-4. **Design review** — UI/UX matches platform design language
-5. **No kernel special-casing** — runs purely through extension APIs
