The status bar's transfers summary is a text toggle, but 7.css painted it as
a full Aero push button — a stray bordered slab sitting in the status line.
Marked it w7-flat, the per-button escape hatch that existed for exactly this
and had never been used.
It did not work, for a reason worth keeping: 7.css restates border-color at
`.win7 button:not(:disabled):not(:hover)` = (0,3,1), which outranks
`.win7 .w7-flat` = (0,2,0). The .w7-toolbar arm of the same rule only ever
won that fight by tying on specificity and landing later in the same layer —
an accident w7-flat did not share. Split the rule: `background:
revert-layer` stays in `skin` (it must land on `utilities`), and the
paint-suppression literals move to `skinfix`, where layer order settles it
instead of a specificity arms race.
Docs updated in the same change per the working agreement — architecture.md
gains the tabs contract, the w7-flat/w7-toolbar split and the frame
transparency invariant; gotchas.md gains a win7-skin section (unlayered beats
every layer, the (0,3,1) border-color restatement, overflow-x clipping the
y-axis, 7.css's hardcoded light literals, exact selectors) plus the two
Angular traps this round hit: a duplicate `class` attribute is silently
dropped, and a backtick inside a component template's HTML comment terminates
the TS template literal.
Also recorded the verification trap that cost three wrong readings today:
`bun run start` leaves the old instance running and `import -window` grabs
the OLDEST match, so screenshots silently come from a stale build — this is
what made the w7-flat fix above look like a no-op when it was already
correct. Kill and count instances before capturing. And `pkill -f
'electrobun dev'` matches the shell running it and kills your own command.

The dark palette was shadcn's cool zinc (#202023, hue ~286). Anchor it on
#1a1a19 instead — cds gray-830, a warm near-neutral (hue 107) — and retone
the whole dark neutral family to match, since a warm background under cool
panels clashes. Lightness ramp is preserved; chromatic tokens (destructive,
success, icon hues, accent formulas) and the light palette are untouched.
Also introduce --chrome so the app isn't one flat tone: frame strips (tab
bar, status bar, transfer bar, editor/manager header+footer, connection
sidebar) now sit one step below the content panes, with popovers and hover
above them — the standard dark-UI elevation order.
Dark ramp: #151514 chrome, #1a1a19 content, #20201f card, #2e2e2d hover;
the "darker" tone drops chrome to true black. Light gains only a zinc-50
chrome step.

Custom signal-based runtime (no i18n dependency): shared src/shared/i18n
dictionaries, ui I18nService.t() reactive by construction so language
switches live, and a backend i18n.ts for native menus + thrown errors.
Every user-facing string keyed across templates, toasts, dialogs, file
kinds, columns, macOS menu/context menus, and errors. Language picker in
Options (auto-detects OS locale, falls back to English); switching
relabels the webview and native chrome instantly. English/Spanish/French/
German fully drafted; Chinese/Japanese/Basque drafted, flagged for native
review. Docs updated.

- Overwrite confirmation: name-collision detection before enqueue; dialog shows
source vs destination (size, mtime, 'newer' badge) with per-item Skip/Replace
and batch Skip all / Replace all; type mismatches auto-skip with a toast;
cancel aborts the whole operation
- Transfer speed + ETA: UI computes smoothed bytes/sec from progress deltas
(callback bus makes deltas meaningful); shown in the expanded queue rows and
the status-bar summary; unit follows the speed-unit setting
- Settings: bun-side SettingsStore (settings.json, 0600, atomic) + get/save RPC;
SettingsService; gear popover on the tab row (theme segmented control, speed
unit); persisted across restarts
- Light theme: data-theme on <html> drives token overrides; absent = follow OS
- macOS fused titlebar: hiddenInset + trafficLightOffset, tab row becomes the
draggable titlebar (app-region drag/no-drag classes); other platforms keep a
separate titlebar (gated by a platform value injected via window preload)
- README: known-issues note for the upstream Bun/Electrobun FFI crash
Verified: tsc + ui build clean; SettingsStore roundtrip + 0600 headless;
app boots and the UI fetches settings over RPC at startup.

Freeze root cause: TransfersService consumed transferUpdate through an effect
that both read and wrote the jobMap signal — the first progress message spun
the effect into an infinite re-run loop, pegging the webview thread while the
copy completed fine bun-side. Push messages now flow through plain callback
registries on RpcService (also stops signal coalescing from dropping progress
snapshots). Verified live: a 60MB boot-time self-test copy streamed progress
into the running UI and the post-completion panel refreshes arrived.
- Tabs: workspaces (left+right PanelState pair each) in PanelsService; tab bar
replaces the header; sessions persist in background tabs; Cmd+T/Cmd+W/Ctrl+Tab;
closing a tab disconnects its sessions; last tab can't close
- Per-panel toolbar (top, icon-only): direction-explicit copy (-> / <-),
rename, new folder/file, chmod, delete; panel footers removed
- VSCode-style status bar: transfer summary (spinner/percent/queued/failures,
click to expand the job list) + active panel info; function bar removed
- transfer details list is collapsible, auto-expands on failure
