 All notable changes to Armature are documented here.
 
+## v0.10.0 — Panel Manifest + Lifecycle
+
+First version in the Panels series. Adds the plumbing layer for
+composable companion views — a new rendering tier between surfaces
+(full-page) and block renderers (inline). No presentation UI ships
+in this version; floating and docked chrome arrive in v0.10.1–v0.10.2.
+
+**Manifest: `panels` field (provider + consumer)**
+
+- Provider form: packages declare panels as a map of `{ entry, title,
+  icon, description, min_width, min_height, default_width, default_height }`
+- Consumer form: surfaces declare panel dependencies as an array of
+  `"package.panel"` strings (soft dependency — install succeeds even
+  if provider is missing)
+- Validation enforces required `entry` and `title` for providers,
+  `pkg.panel` dot-format for consumers
+
+**Backend: panel resolution at surface load**
+
+- `PanelMeta` struct carries resolved panel metadata
+- `resolvePanels()` resolves consumer references against installed and
+  enabled provider packages at surface render time
+- `window.__PANELS__` injected into base template for extension surfaces
+- Soft-dependency warning logged at install time for unresolved consumers
+
+**Frontend: `sw.panels` SDK module**
+
+- `sw.panels.open(panelId, opts)` — lazy-loads panel JS via dynamic
+  `import()`, mounts into container, caches module for reuse
+- `sw.panels.close(panelId)` — calls cleanup, removes container
+- `sw.panels.toggle(panelId, opts)` — open if closed, close if open
+- `sw.panels.isOpen(panelId)` / `sw.panels.isAvailable(panelId)` — boolean queries
+- `sw.panels.list()` / `sw.panels.active()` — registered and open panel IDs
+- Events: `panels.opened` and `panels.closed` emitted on lifecycle transitions
+- Mount context: `{ sw, params, panelId, close, resize }`
+- Unstyled container (position:fixed div) — v0.10.1 adds FloatingPanel chrome
+
+**Tests:** 10 new — 6 manifest validation, 4 panel resolution
+
+## v0.9.9 — Surface Access via Roles
+
+Surfaces can now gate access by team role. A manifest declaring
+`"access": "role:approver"` restricts the surface to users who hold the
+`approver` role in any team — consistent with how `group:NAME` works.
+
+**New surface access level: `role:ROLENAME`**
+
+- Added to both `evaluateAccess()` and `validAccessLevels()` validation
+- User must hold the specified role in at least one team (any-team
+  semantics — no team context needed in the URL)
+- System admins bypass role checks, consistent with `RequireRole`
+  middleware
+- Unauthenticated users get redirected to login
+- Graceful fallback: if Teams store is nil, access is denied (fail closed)
+
+**New store method: `HasRoleInAnyTeam(ctx, userID, role)`**
+
+- Checks both primary role (`team_members`) and additional roles
+  (`team_user_roles`) across all teams in a single query
+- Implemented for both SQLite and PostgreSQL
+
+**Refactor:** `evaluateAccess` promoted from package-level function to
+`Engine` method to enable store access for role lookups.
+
+**Tests:** 10 new tests — 5 handler integration tests (granted, denied,
+unauthenticated, admin bypass, nil store), 3 store tests
+(primary role, additional role, no match), 2 validation tests
+(valid role, empty role name)
+
+## 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

-## Planned
+### v0.9.x — Multi-Surface Packages + Workflow Redesign
 
-### v0.9.x — Workflow Redesign
-
-Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-workflow-redesign.md`
-
-The workflow system (~7,600 lines, 25+ files) was built incrementally and
-has accumulated redundant concepts, buried primitives, and a read-only
-Starlark module. This series cleans up the debt and promotes reusable
-primitives before building reference extensions on top.
-
-**v0.9.0 — Starlark Converter Consolidation + Snapshot Cleanup**
-
-Three files contain near-identical Go↔Starlark converters; three copies
-of the snapshot parser exist. Consolidate into `sandbox/convert.go` and
-one exported snapshot function. Standardize on wrapped snapshot format.
-
-**v0.9.1 — Team User Roles**
-
-Promote the buried role system to a kernel primitive. New
-`team_user_roles` table (many-to-many). Manifest `requires_roles` field.
-Team admin UI for role assignment. Kernel middleware `RequireRole()`.
-Starlark SDK: `teams.get_member_roles()`, `teams.has_role()`.
-
-**v0.9.2 — Package Adoption + Roles**
-
-`scope: adoptable` manifest field. When a team adopts an adoptable
-package, the package's `requires_roles` auto-populate into the team's
-role slots. Replaces `AdoptTeamWorkflow` clone mechanism.
-
-**v0.9.3 — Typed Forms → SDK Primitive**
-
-Extract `TypedFormTemplate`, `FormField`, `FormFieldset`, etc. from
-`models/workflow.go` into a `forms` package. FE SDK: `sw.forms.render()`
-and `sw.forms.validate()`. Starlark: `forms.validate()`. Any package
-can declare forms, not just workflow stages.
-
-**v0.9.4 — Deprecate `stage_type`, Collapse `stage_mode`**
-
-`stage_type` (simple/dynamic/automated) is redundant with `starlark_hook`
-presence. Remove from new manifests, keep parsing for backward compat.
-Collapse `stage_mode` from 4 to 3 values: form / delegated / automated.
-`review` was just `delegated` with signoff — signoff is independent of
-rendering mode.
-
-**v0.9.5 — Full Read/Write Workflow Starlark Module**
-
-Add `workflow.start()`, `workflow.advance()`, `workflow.cancel()`,
-`workflow.submit_signoff()` to the Starlark module. Extract engine
-interface to break circular import. Unlocks fully automated workflow
-orchestration from Starlark hooks and extensions.
-
-**v0.9.6 — Conditional Routing → SDK Primitive**
-
-Expose `routing.evaluate(rules, data)` as a Starlark SDK function.
-Branch rules become a reusable decision engine for any extension.
-
-**v0.9.7 — Multi-Surface Manifest + Route Resolution**
-
-Packages can declare multiple surface routes with independent access
-controls. Kernel resolves routes per-page. Enables mixed public/auth
-pages in a single package.
-
-**v0.9.8 — Surface Access via Roles**
-
-Wire team roles (v0.9.1) into surface access declarations:
-`access: role:approver`. Kernel middleware checks role membership.
-Completes the workflow→package access story.

-### v0.10.x — Reference Extensions
+## Current: v0.10.x — Panels + Composable Layout
 
-The kernel is complete. This series proves the platform by shipping
-first-party extensions that exercise every primitive. These are
-**extensions, not kernel code** — they ship as `.pkg` files and can be
-uninstalled.
+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`.
 
-**v0.10.0 — `vector-store` Library**
+**v0.10.0 — Panel Manifest + Lifecycle** *(completed)*
 
-Document ingestion, chunk storage, embedding persistence, semantic
-similarity search. Consumes: `db.write`, `files.read`.
+Manifest `panels` field (provider map + consumer array, soft dependency).
+`resolvePanels()` at surface load. `sw.panels` SDK module with full
+lifecycle API. Lazy JS loading with module caching. 10 new tests.
 
-**v0.10.1 — `llm-bridge` Library**
-
-Model abstraction, tool-use routing, provider BYOK via connections.
-Exposes `complete()`, `embed()`, `classify()`, `register_tool()`.
-Consumes: `connections.read`, `api.http`, `db.write`.
-
-**v0.10.2 — `file-share` Extension**
-
-File upload, storage via `files` module, download links, team/group
-ACLs via resource grants.
-
-**v0.10.3 — `code-workspace` Extension**
-
-Managed code repos via `workspace` module. Git operations, file browser
-surface, structural indexing. Consumes: `workspace.manage`, `files.write`.
-
-**v0.10.4 — `image-gen` + `image-edit` Extensions**
-
-Image generation/editing via external APIs. Composability demo:
-contributes to `chat:image-actions` slot.
-
-**v0.10.5 — Chat System**
-
-Generic 1-to-N messaging with slots. `chat-core` library + `chat`
-surface. Declares `chat:message-actions`, `chat:image-actions`,

-### v0.11.x — Sidecar Tier + Polish
+### v0.11.x — Notes Reference Extension
 
-**v0.11.0 — Sidecar Tier**
+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`.
 
-Out-of-process extensions for workloads that can't run in Starlark (ML
-inference, media transcoding, language servers, local git). Sidecars are
-independent processes that connect inward to the kernel, following the
-cluster registry pattern. Authentication via mTLS or registration tokens.

-**v0.11.2 — Stability + Migration Tooling**
+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.

+### 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.

-# 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.
-
-### Deferred (v0.7.1+ / runner coverage)
-
-6. **Admin Groups documentation** — write a "Permissions & Groups" doc for the docs surface. Explain the RBAC model, list all permission slugs with descriptions, explain group scoping.
-
-7. **Workflow user guide** — write a "Workflows" doc. Entry modes, stage types, team roles, signoff gates, SLA.
-
-8. **Team Admin Workflows simplification** — the 723-line inline stage editor is the most complex piece of UI in the entire application. Consider extracting to a dedicated workflow-designer surface or at minimum breaking into separate files.
-
-9. **Docs content refresh** — review all 5 docs for accuracy at v0.6.18+.
-
-10. **Settings Teams section** — either add useful actions (link to team admin, show team role, leave team) or remove the tab.

+# 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` |

+## 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.
+

+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.

+## Design Decisions
+
+| 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).

+```
+
+- 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.
+
+### 9. CSS
+
+New file: `src/css/panels.css`
+
+**Floating panel:**
+
+```css
+.sw-panel-floating {
+    position: fixed;

+    flex-direction: column;
+    border: 1px solid var(--border);

+
+### 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)
+

+                },

+            }]
+        },

+def heartbeat():

+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.

+
+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.

+| `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);

+Core libraries and remaining extensions. `llm-bridge` is the key

+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 |

+| v0.13.6 | `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.

+
+## 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. |

-# 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
