The menu now sits on the darkest surface (the frame color) behind a faint
border, and its highlighted item takes Oxide's selected style: a dark green
fill (their surface-accent) with green text. Mouse and keyboard share that
one highlight, so a hovered row and a keyboard-selected row can no longer
light up at the same time.

The palette now follows Oxide's design system (docs.oxide.computer): a cool
neutral scale at hue 260 with almost no chroma, opaque strokes, and Oxide's
green as the only accent. The accent-color option is gone: selection, the
cursor row, focus rings and the active-panel line all read green.
The file panel's header strip now steps toward the list, one shade per row
(session strip, path bar, column headers), derived by color-mix so every
theme, AMOLED included, follows on its own.
Everything is square: every rounded utility and the radius tokens are gone,
and checkboxes, radios, selects, number spinners and scrollbars are
restyled to match (square scrollbars are always visible on macOS, the cost
of styling them).

Swap @ng-icons/mynaui for @ng-icons/tdesign-icons (34.0.0, the release
matching @ng-icons/core), drawn at TDesign's native stroke. Each former
mynaui name maps to one TDesign name everywhere it was used; the unused
ArrowLeftRight is dropped. The options button's ellipsis goes from 1.5rem
to 0.8rem: TDesign's dots span 18 of 24 units against mynaui's 8, so this
keeps today's footprint.

The deleted win7 tree held a few behaviours the modern tree never got:
- Context menu: the first ArrowUp in a fresh menu skipped the last item
(Delete in the row menu, Disconnect in the tab menu) — stepping from -1
landed one short. The index math moves to core/menu-nav.ts stepIndex(),
checked by menu-nav.spec.ts (bun test; verified to fail on the old logic).
Items get ids and the menu exposes aria-activedescendant, so screen
readers follow the arrow keys while focus stays on the menu.
- Middle-click closes a tab, as in browsers. auxclick also fires for the
right button, so only button 1 counts; closeWorkspace already refuses the
last tab. A middle press is swallowed so WebView2 doesn't start autoscroll
over the scrollable strip. The hover ✕ stays.
- ARIA: the tab strip is a tablist of role=tab buttons with aria-selected
(the in-tab ✕ is taken out of the a11y tree and tab order — Ctrl/Cmd+W and
the tab menu remain the keyboard paths); transfer bars are progressbars
with value and a name.

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.

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).

Both UIs now live side by side. The 18 modern component files come straight
from `git show main:<path>` — recovered, not rewritten, which is possible
because main's tip IS the merge base of this branch. There is no title-bar
among them: that component is win7-only, since the modern skin defers to the
native window frame.
Their imports were rewritten to @core the same way stage 1 did, leaving only
skin-internal relative imports behind. Added skins/shadlike/index.ts exporting
SHAD_ROOTS with the same shape as SEVEN_ROOTS, so main.ts can select a tree
without knowing either skin's internals.
Restored the skin axis in core/platform.ts, deleted in fe028a9 and needed
again by the modern tree: __APP_SKIN on the Window global, APP_SKIN,
IS_WIN7_CHROME, and IS_MAC_CHROME = IS_MAC && !IS_WIN7_CHROME. That last one
is what reserves pl-24 for the macOS traffic lights in the fused hiddenInset
header — and correctly stops reserving it under win7, where titleBarStyle
'hidden' removes the traffic lights entirely.
The tree is not reachable yet; the build is the gate. I checked that the gate
is real rather than assuming it: injecting a type error into an unreferenced
shadlike file does fail `bun run build:ui`, so ngtsc type-checks the whole
program including components nothing imports. Without that check, "the build
passes" would have proven nothing about 18 files no one references.
win7 remains pixel-identical to the pre-refactor baseline.
