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 `<select>` of every folder in the library becomes a modal tree. It asks the node for nothing: the tree is derived from paths the client already holds, so it shows exactly what the group's index contains and adds no folder-browsing protocol. For Chat's attachment folder — the one directory that is written to rather than read — read-only roots are greyed out, so the node's refusal arrives before the operator picks rather than when somebody sends a file. Videos and Music take a list of folders. A library on two drives could not be described before; the only recourse was pointing the app at a parent containing both, which pulls in everything else under it. The scalar shapes survive on the wire alone, for a node speaking MNP 1.0, and the client reads them as a one-element list. Two things the tests caught that I would not have: `test_asset_versioning` — six new modules were missing from `_ASSETS`. Reached through the registry rather than imported by name, they are exactly the files nothing else would notice changing, and a stale one is served from cache with no version bump. And `node --check foo.js` does **not** reliably report a module syntax error: it accepted `${/* ... */''}` — htm template syntax pasted into a plain object literal — and reported success. A `.mjs` copy forces the module parser and reports it. The suite had no syntax check at all, which is how that reached a file; `test_spa_syntax.py` does it for every module now, and pins that the loose path is not what it uses. Suite: 12 failures, all pre-existing.

A library shared by two groups now lists each track once inside an album and each photo once inside a photo album, and a card served by several groups says "N sources" instead of naming one of them. Units come from each application's own grouping, never a copy of its keys. For Music that meant exporting foldKey: groupMusicEntries folds case to group but keeps the first-seen spelling to display, and which group is seen first is whichever index arrived first — so keying a unit on the display strings would let the chosen source change between page loads. A group whose connection fails is marked down and stops being chosen, so a unit fails over to another group that has the file. Eviction is not a failure. Every source being down still yields an entry: a tile that fails to load beats a film that vanished from the grid. sourceLabel now takes the whole unit rather than one entry. A show's poster entry is picked for its thumbnail, so a show in two groups whose cover episode sits in only one of them would have claimed a single source. SourceTag lives in group-name.js — source-merge.js must keep importing nothing (its test executes it standalone), and a copy in each of the three apps is three chances to disagree. test_search_files_unmerged.py holds the one thing that must not change: the Files explorer is not merged, because there each group is a folder and merging would remove a file from one of them. It also asserts the other three lists are merged, or deleting the merge outright would leave it passing and saying nothing. One plan item was dropped as wrong rather than built: the Music queue in onPreview needed no change. It filters by groupId and is reachable only from FilesPanel, which is not merged.
