jgamboaandClaude c4364c1051 Fix the dead win7 context menu, flatten the selection, add a tab menu
Right-click did nothing under the win7 skin, and then swallowed the next
click. 7.css declares `position: relative` on ul[role=menu] and the `skin`
layer outranks `utilities`, so Tailwind's `.fixed` lost: [style.left/top.px]
became flow offsets from the menu's static position — the last child of the
h-screen frame — and every menu rendered below the viewport, unreachable
behind overflow:hidden. Its backdrop is a plain <div>, unmatched by 7.css, so
that stayed genuinely fixed and ate the following click. Regressed in 0ae2a62,
when the menu adopted 7.css's real markup.

Restated `position: fixed` in skinfix, scoped to a new `w7-ctx` marker so
7.css's own menus keep theirs. scripts/menu-probe.ts is the regression test:
it renders the menu at declared coordinates, pixel-scans whether it landed
there, and carries a marker-less control menu (the bug verbatim) as its own
discriminator. A resting pixel diff cannot see this class of bug.

Selection band goes flat: --w7-sel-bg/-bd (#cbe8f6/#26a0da) is what Explorer
actually painted, where 7.css reused --w7-el-grad-h, its Aero element-hover
ramp. That var is left alone — buttons and tabs still want the gloss. The
unfocused pane gets the grey idle band; the band still never disappears with
focus, it only weakens. Harness diff confirms the change touches selection
rows and nothing else, in both themes.

New workspace-tab right-click menu in both skins: New Tab, Close Tab, Close
Other Tabs, Close Tabs to the Right, Disconnect. The target id travels inside
the action string because the right-clicked tab is not necessarily the active
one. Illegal entries are disabled rather than omitted, the way Win7 greyed
out — and since 7.css's [aria-disabled] handling is CSS-only, the keyboard
paths check the flag themselves.

jgamboaandClaude f101257f20 Scale stage 2: continuous uiScale setting + the (-) 100% (+) stepper
AppSettings.textSize (compact|default|large) becomes uiScale: number, 0.5-4
in 0.1 steps, default 1. One shared clampUiScale (next to the
effectiveConcurrency precedent) defines "valid" for the store, the service
and the stepper: clamp to range, snap to the step grid, strip float noise,
and map NaN/Infinity to 1.

- SettingsStore.load migrates legacy files (compact/default/large ->
  0.9/1/1.2, never over an explicit uiScale) and clamps ALWAYS, not just on
  migration — buildPreload writes this value into every window's root
  font-size, so a hand-edited settings.json (uiScale: 100) must not be able
  to render the UI unusable. Verified against 100, 0.001, -3, NaN, Infinity
  and float noise; migration verified against a real legacy file.
- SettingsService: applyUiScale sets the root font-size (16 * scale, removed
  entirely at 1 per the delete-when-default rule). Rides the existing
  settingsChanged broadcast, so open editor/manager windows follow live.
- buildPreload bakes the same font-size so the first paint is already scaled
  — without it every window opens at 100% and snaps.
- Both tab-bars: the 3-button Interface row becomes the stepper. Clicking the
  percentage resets to 100% (tooltip says so). i18n: compact/default/large
  dropped, smaller/larger/reset added, all 7 locales.

Verified live, win7 + modern: scale 1 is pixel-identical to the pre-work
baseline (opaque interior diff exactly 0); 0.5x is a real dense mode (~2x
rows); 2x scales title bar, tabs, rows, icons and controls together with text
contained in its boxes — which is what stage 1c's 7.css bridge bought; 4x is
enormous but coherent, and the win7 title-bar controls stay on-screen at the
default window size. The known caveat stands: no minimum window size exists,
so 4x in a small window is legal but cramped.

jgamboaandClaude 9f2a076e08 Scale stage 1: everything the UI sizes with is now rem
Groundwork for the continuous interface scale (a root font-size lever): every
size the UI derives from must be root-relative, or it freezes while the rest
grows. Gate for this commit: at the default 16px root the app renders
pixel-identical to before — every conversion is exact (11px = 0.6875rem …).

- The 8 panel-chrome tokens in styles.css: px -> rem, and the data-text
  compact/large tiers are DELETED — a continuous scale replaces discrete
  tiers. Same for --w7-fs (12px -> 0.75rem) and the win7 --radius (5px ->
  0.3125rem, still landing rounded-md exactly on --w7-el-bdr's 3px).
  --radius-sm/md subtrahends: px -> rem, or corners would sharpen as the UI
  grew.
- All 93 text-[11px]/text-[10px] arbitraries -> rem equivalents, plus the two
  inline padding:24px empty-state cells in the 7like file panel.
- 7like.css gains a scale bridge in skinfix: 7.css is 370 px values with zero
  rem, and --w7-font reaches only 15 rules' TYPOGRAPHY — under a root lever
  win7 text would grow inside boxes frozen at 23px/14px/15px. The bridge
  re-expresses 7.css's size vars and its hardcoded box metrics (buttons via
  .w7-btn only, inputs, table rows/headers, title-bar controls, menu items,
  tabs, the 10pt check glyph) in rem at identical scale-1 pixels. 1px
  hairlines and focus rects stay px deliberately — crisp at any scale, and
  the tr border exists precisely to stop selection shifting rows.
- Two skinfix traps found while writing it, one by reasoning and one by
  pixels: (a) NO blanket `.win7 button` restatement — skinfix outranks the
  skin-layer neutralizer that strips 7.css's 75x23 metrics off the ~84 icon
  buttons, so a blanket rule would re-inflate them all; (b) restating a base
  rule in skinfix also outranks 7.css's own VARIANTS of it by layer — the
  title-bar rule silently shrank the close button from 48px to 29px until the
  harness pixel diff caught it, and the active tab's padding-bottom needed
  the same treatment. Both variants are restated alongside their base rules.
- TS px constants that mirror rem CSS are the latent-bug half of this work:
  both context menus' flip/clamp math converts through a new @core/metrics
  remPx() helper reading the LIVE root font-size (the shadlike menu's
  MENU_W=224 diverged from its w-56 box the moment scale != 1; the 7like
  menu's [style.width.px] pinned the box at 200px while text grew — it now
  binds width in rem, so math and box cannot disagree). The editors'
  cachedCharWidth is now keyed on the computed font string, self-invalidating
  under any font change, and both || px fallbacks derive from the element's
  font size instead of assuming a 16px root.

Verified: tsc + build clean; modern and win7 live captures and the harness
all diff to zero against pre-change baselines in their opaque regions (the
harness to exactly zero end to end; modern's only delta is the native GTK
titlebar focus state; win7's is the translucent Aero corner over the
desktop).

jgamboaandClaude c8ccc6b918 Skin is a launch-time choice; stop applying it to a live window
Switching Modern -> Win7 at runtime broke the UI. SettingsService.applySkin
toggled the `.win7` class the moment the setting changed — harmless when there
was one component tree, and a broken window as soon as there were two. The tree
is bootstrapped once from the preload-baked __APP_SKIN, so the live flip painted
7.css onto shadlike markup that has no .window.glass, no .title-bar, no
menu[role=tablist] and no <table> ListView. The CSS landed on a tree that cannot
receive it.

A reload would not have helped, and neither would anything short of a restart:

- The preload is a persistent WebKitUserScript injected at DOCUMENT_START, so
  its string is frozen at webview construction — loadURL() re-runs it with the
  OLD __APP_SKIN. updatePreloadScriptToWebView exists in the FFI but is
  reachable only from electrobun's internal <electrobun-webview> handler.
- titleBarStyle/transparent have no setters; a live window cannot be re-framed.
  win7 -> modern is the dangerous direction — the modern tree draws no title
  bar, so it would land in a frameless transparent window with no way to move,
  minimize or close it.
- Recreating the main window is also out: exitOnLastWindowClosed is true, the
  main rpc is captured by six push closures, the tray captures `win`, and
  listeners cannot be removed.

So: applySkin is deleted outright, from setSkin AND from applyAll — the latter
matters independently, since applyAll runs on the settingsChanged push and was
therefore breaking every open editor and manager window too. Clicking a skin now
only persists it.

Also fixed a second leak found while tracing this: manager-window and
editor-windows build from `currentSettings()`, the LIVE snapshot, so a window
opened after a pending change would boot the new tree and frame while main still
ran the old one. `initSessionSkin` now freezes the skin at startup before any
window exists, and buildPreload/chromeOptions read that pinned value —
chromeOptions loses its parameter so no call site can get it wrong.

The options row shows the saved value as pending (skinPending() compares
settings.skin() against APP_SKIN) with the hint retexted in all 7 locales; it
said "Reopen the window to change its frame", which described the deleted
design.

Verified: tsc + build:ui clean; both skins boot correctly from a persisted
setting (win7 frameless, modern with the native frame). The live flip is now
impossible by construction, which is the check that matters here — the UI bundle
contains no classList write for win7 at all, the only writer is buildPreload,
and sessionSkin has exactly one assignment site.

Not verified: the click itself and the pending hint appearing, which need an
interaction pass — no window automation is available here. Both are present in
the built bundle.

jgamboaandClaude eafe426c8e Stage 5: wire the skin switch — both UIs now reachable
The reunion is complete: one build contains both UIs and picks between them at
bootstrap.

- src/shared/types.ts regains `skin: "modern" | "win7"` on AppSettings.
- SettingsService regains the skin signal, setSkin() and applySkin(), which
  toggles the `.win7` class on <html>.
- buildPreload emits __APP_SKIN and adds `.win7` conditionally again, instead
  of unconditionally as it had since fe028a9.
- chromeOptions() regains its parameter: win7 gets frameless + transparent,
  modern gets the macOS hiddenInset fusion or the plain native frame.
- core/platform.ts regains APP_SKIN / IS_WIN7_CHROME (added in stage 4).
- main.ts now selects on both axes — skin picks the tree, APP_MODE picks the
  root within it.
- Both tab-bars get a skin row, with the reopen caveat as its tooltip.

DEFAULT_SETTINGS.skin is "modern", matching the original design and `main`.
Worth flagging: this branch has booted win7 unconditionally since fe028a9, so
after this commit it starts in the modern UI unless the setting says otherwise.
One word in types.ts flips that if the win7 look should be the default.

i18n: en.ts is the source of truth and everything else falls back to it, so
only en was strictly required — but es/eu/fr/de/zh/ja got real translations
too, each matching the terminology that locale already uses for the Theme row.

Verified both skins on live single-instance captures. Modern boots and renders
fully styled, which also proves Tailwind scans skins/shadlike/** — a purge
would have produced an unstyled page rather than this one. Win7, selected by
setting skin in the persisted settings, is still pixel-identical to the
pre-refactor baseline across all five stages. The persisted settings file was
backed up and restored, so it still carries no skin key and resolves to the
default through the backend's merge.

Not verified: clicking the new skin row itself, which needs an interaction pass
— no window automation is available here. Its bindings compile and the built
bundle contains options.skin, setSkin and the translated labels.

jgamboaandClaude 39e019af9f Stage 2: move the win7 component tree into app/skins/7like/
All 14 components (including title-bar/, which has no modern counterpart)
move under app/skins/7like/. git records every one as a rename — no content
changed except main.ts.

The @core alias from stage 1 paid off exactly as intended: not one of the 67
service imports needed touching despite every file changing depth. The only
relative imports left inside the tree are skin-internal (app -> its dialogs,
connection-manager -> title-bar), and those survived because the move
preserved their relative structure.

Added skins/7like/index.ts exporting SEVEN_ROOTS { main, manager, editor }.
Every skin will export that same shape, so main.ts can pick a tree by skin
and then a root by APP_MODE without knowing either skin's internals. main.ts
selects from that barrel now, with the second axis still hardcoded until the
shadlike tree lands.

Verified: tsc clean, build:ui clean, opaque interior pixel-identical to the
pre-refactor baseline. That last check also proves Tailwind still scans the
templates from their new skins/** paths — a silent utility purge would have
collapsed the layout rather than reproducing it exactly.

The three structural 7.css contracts that a careless move breaks silently are
intact by construction, since no markup changed: app-title-bar is still a
direct child of .window.w7-frame, nothing new nests inside menu[role=tablist],
and the context menu still emits ul[role=menu] > li[role=menuitem] > button.
