refactor(mnp)!: one operation for an app's folders, not one per app

2026-09-10T15:49:58Z

`video_root`, `audio_root` and `photo_roots` are gone — the messages, the signed operations, the handlers, the `ops` wrappers, the three scalars on the handshake ack, and the client's handlers for their acks. `app_directories` does the same thing for every application, keyed by the app's own registry name, and it is what the SPA has been sending. The three were the same instruction three times, differing only in the key they wrote and whether they carried a string or a list. That shape is what made adding an application mean adding a message type, an op, a handler and a widget; it also meant three validation paths, and the older ones validated nothing — a typo was stored and then quietly matched no entry, an app showing an empty tab with no way to tell "misconfigured" from "no files yet". **What stays, and why.** `Roster.LEGACY_DIR_KEYS` still reads `video_root` and friends out of `group_settings`: that is a key on an operator's disk, not on the wire, and a node upgraded into this must find its own configuration. The Search page still reads its own older cache keys, for the same reason — the cache outlives a deploy. `CTX_ALIASES` keeps only `chat`, which is the one app whose second name something still reads. The two per-app policy test files go with the messages. What only they held — the real challenge/response path from message to database, which no other test exercises — is retargeted at `app_directories` in `test_app_directories_signed.py`, and the handler's own refusals (unknown app, malformed `directories`, nobody to authorize it) join `test_app_directories.py`. Node and common suites 1368 passed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01AsoWC3GmhNdwVFomW3QjH3

feat(hub): pin the app controls while a library scrolls

2026-09-10T08:29:12Z

Files, Videos, Music and Photos are read by scrolling, and everything that steers that reading left with the first screenful. Three bands now pin under the navigation bar, in a group and on the Search page alike: the tab bar (the search field, on Search), the application's own toolbar, and the file table's column heads. The group's name and description still scroll — they say nothing a reader needs while walking a directory, and the height they would cost is height the list does not get. A band's offset is the heights of the bands above it, and those are not constants: the toolbar wraps to three rows on a phone, grows a field while a folder is being named, and loses its filter on Search. So each band measures itself and publishes `--chrome-h` / `--toolbar-h` (static/sticky.js) and the stylesheet does the arithmetic in calc(), rather than a number written down twice — the fault CLAUDE.md already records against this layout twice over. A band publishes height *plus its own bottom margin*, and paints that margin as a ring of page colour, so the pinned layout is pixel-identical to the flow layout and nothing shifts at the moment a band pins. Three overflow faults came out of it, all of the same class and all of them what "the header does not stay" actually meant on Android — a document wider than the screen leaves everything pinned attached to a viewport the reader can no longer see, the navigation bar included: - a directory's name cell was a bare , so an unbreakable folder name (`Rage_Against_The_Machine_Discography_1992-2000_FLAC`) set the column's minimum: a 527px table in a 390px window - Search's group column did the same at 442px with an underscored group name. It also goes entirely below 768px, where there is no room for it and the breadcrumb already names the group - the shared-directories table has four columns of controls with a combined minimum near 440px, none of it compressible. On a phone the row stops being a row: the name and its eject/remove pair on one line, the two switches — each carrying the column head's own string as a label — on the next - and, found by measuring at 360px, the tab bar itself was 19px too wide `.file-table` moves to separated borders: a collapsed border belongs to the table rather than to the cell, so the column heads lost their rule the moment they pinned. Measured, not read. tests/harness/sticky_header_probe.py drives the shipped GroupPage and SearchPage against a stub node, walks to each application, scrolls to the end and reports every rectangle — 11 views x 4 widths x 2 engines. Its fixture says what real data says: the first version used `note-007.txt` and `un groupe`, which fit any screen, and found none of the above. A fixture narrower than real data tests the fixture. Also: `test_desktop_shell` no longer looks for the CSP after the first `-->`, which made it fail on correct markup as soon as a comment was added above it, and `search-page.js` joins test_hook_ordering's file list.

feat(client): Phase 2 — per-app settings panes, folder tree, multi-directory

2026-09-06T17:03:22Z

Each app's settings were inlined in `group-settings.js` — TMDB, MusicBrainz, and one folder picker per app, each with its own draft state and save handler saying the same thing about a different key. They are one file per app now, reached through the `apps.js` registry, and the page that renders them names no application at all: adding one is a registry entry and a settings file. The line between the two is what makes that true. What every app has — folders — the page does generically, through one `saveDirectories` bound to the app. What one app alone has, its pane does itself with the transport it is handed. An app that only needs directories touches neither `group-settings.js` nor `group-page.js`, which is `test_app_settings_plugin.py`'s subject. `settings-ui.js` exists because a pane importing the page that renders it is a cycle, and ES modules answer that with a temporal-dead-zone ReferenceError at first render — a component that silently does not appear, the fault already recorded in CLAUDE.md about hook ordering. The flat depth-indented `
