The dual-skin arrangement existed to let one build toggle between the modern
shadcn look and 7.css. Keeping both correct is what forced the cascade tricks
that fight 7.css, so the branch drops the toggle: this build IS the Windows 7
build.
- `skin` is gone from AppSettings/DEFAULT_SETTINGS, the settings store, the
SettingsService (signal, applySkin, persist payload), the options popover
control, and the i18n keys.
- buildPreload adds `.win7` unconditionally; `chromeOptions()` no longer takes a
skin and always returns frameless `titleBarStyle: "hidden"`.
- `IS_WIN7_CHROME` and `IS_MAC_CHROME` are deleted along with every
`isMacChrome` branch in the tab bar, editor window and connection manager.
Those reserved `pl-24` for macOS traffic lights, which frameless chrome
removes on every platform, so the branches were dead by construction.
- The title bar is no longer conditional — it is the window's only chrome.
- index.html keeps just the win7 anti-flash arm (four theme states).
Not done here, deliberately: stripping Tailwind's element styling. The
neutralizers in styles.css (notably `.win7 button { min-width: 0 }`) are still
load-bearing until each component's markup is converted to 7.css's real
contract, so they come out per component rather than in one sweep.
Verified: backend `tsc --noEmit` clean, `bun run build:ui` clean; bundle
490.50 kB, down from 492.52 kB.

main retired electrobun's native context menu (a documented no-op on Linux) in
favour of an HTML one on every platform. Merging that here needs the menu to
look right under the Win7 skin as well.
Conflicts, all resolved by keeping both sides:
- src/bun/index.ts — createAppRPC keeps the branch's mainWindow getter, drops
main's removed contextMenu dep.
- ui/src/app/app.ts — imports both TitleBar and ContextMenu.
- ui/src/app/platform.ts — kept the branch's version (its IS_MAC_CHROME accounts
for the frameless win7 chrome, and MOD_LABEL correctly keys on the real
platform rather than the chrome), plus exporting IS_MAC and adding IS_LINUX
for the menu's per-OS shell wording.
Aero menu (branch-only): 7.css has no menu component, so it is hand-authored
across both layers — the row <button>s shed their push-button slab in `skin`
(revert-layer only reaches `utilities` from there), and the square-cornered
slab, hairline border and gradient selection band are stated in `skinfix`.
Built strictly from existing --w7-* vars, never literal hex, so the
hand-written dark Win7 palette recolours it for free. Hover and the keyboard
cursor share one band (the component marks the cursor with `bg-accent`, which
is overridden alongside :hover) as a real Win7 menu does.
Also answers a question the merge raised: frameless windows DO work on Linux.
The GTK wrapper honours titleBarStyle "hidden" — it calls
gtk_window_set_decorated(false) and logs "GTK: Created window without
decorations (custom titlebar)". Verified on GNOME/Wayland and documented in
architecture.md.
Verified: backend `tsc --noEmit` clean, `bun run build:ui` clean (492.52 kB
initial, still under the 500 kB budget), app launches with the skin active,
frameless, no console errors and no GBM failures.

`bun run start` died on Linux with ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED (missing
libayatana-appindicator3.so.1). Fixing the environment exposed the real gap:
electrobun's ContextMenu.showContextMenu is a documented no-op on Linux, and
since the UI suppresses the webview's own right-click menu, EVERY panel context
menu was silently dead there — Send to Other Panel, Open, Rename, Permissions,
Delete, Copy Path, Reveal and the column picker all unreachable. Electrobun
itself logs "Application menus are not supported on Linux. Implement menu UI in
your webview HTML instead." at boot.
- Context menus are now HTML on EVERY platform (ui/src/app/context-menu.ts +
context-menu.service.ts), not just as a Linux fallback: one implementation
cannot drift from a second one. The item builders are ported verbatim from
the old bun menu, so ordering, per-platform labels and the Windows-local
chmod hide are unchanged, and picks are emitted as the same `ctx-*` / `col:*`
strings through RpcService.emitMenuAction — App.handleMenuAction is untouched
and still the single dispatcher for both the macOS menubar and right-clicks.
Adds what the native menu gave for free: arrow/Enter/Escape keys, viewport
edge-flip, close on blur/resize/scroll. The Edit item now shows the real F4
hint instead of the native menu's "e" mnemonic.
- New shellItemAction RPC replaces showRowMenu/showColumnsMenu — the only part
the webview can't do itself (reveal, open-with-default, copy path). Deletes
src/bun/context-menu.ts entirely.
- release.ts gains a linux-x64 target. Electrobun emits only the .tar.zst
updater blob on Linux, so the artifact is a .tar.gz of the assembled app
folder, mirroring the Windows portable zip.
- Docs: platform-notes gets a Linux runtime-dependency table (AppIndicator is
linked HARD — a missing lib is a boot failure, not a degraded tray), the
ldd diagnostic, GNOME tray caveat, known issues and a first-boot smoke test;
gotchas gets the ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED trail and the benign GLX/GBM startup
noise; architecture/build-and-release/README updated accordingly.
Verified: backend `tsc --noEmit` clean, `bun run build:ui` clean (399 kB
initial), app boots on Linux with no errors beyond the documented benign
warnings. NOT verified on macOS/Windows — the native menu is retired on those
platforms too, so the menus need eyeballing on a Mac before the next release.

Evaluation branch: a full Aero skin, including frameless windows with our own
title bar, switchable against the existing modern look.
The app already had a four-axis runtime skinning mechanism and zero component
stylesheets, so the skin is one new setting plus one stylesheet section rather
than a parallel UI. The key move is cascade order: 7.css is imported into a
`skin` layer ABOVE Tailwind's `utilities`, so its bare element rules outrank
the ~1900 inline utility classes already in the templates. Template changes are
limited to additive, skin-inert hooks (ARIA roles, `has-scrollbar`,
`w7-toolbar`, `w7-btn`).
- styles.css: explicit layer order, `7.css/dist/7.scoped.css` via `layer(skin)`,
a token bridge re-pointing the existing semantic tokens at Win7 values (no new
tokens, so `@theme inline` is untouched), a hand-authored dark Win7 palette,
and neutralizers that `revert-layer` 7.css's dialog-button metrics back to the
utility layer. Neutralizers must live inside `skin`, not `skinfix` —
`revert-layer` only reaches `utilities` from one layer up.
- Frameless chrome: `chromeOptions(skin)` is now the single place either skin's
frame is decided. `titleBarStyle: "hidden"` on every platform, which is also
the only way to drop the macOS traffic lights. New `title-bar` component
mounted by all three window roots.
- Window controls over RPC (minimize/toggle-maximize/close/is-maximized), served
per window kind so the X reuses each one's existing close path — editors still
get their dirty prompt. electrobun has no maximize event, so the state is
derived from `resize`; double-click-to-maximize is implemented here too.
- Font: Noto Sans vendored (OFL-1.1) under ui/src/fonts, since Segoe UI is
absent off Windows and not redistributable.
Verified: backend `tsc --noEmit` clean, `bun run build:ui` clean (486 kB initial,
under the 500 kB budget), app launches with the skin active and no console
errors. The rendered result has not been eyeballed — screen capture and
accessibility are both denied to the shell on this machine.

The Quit item was role:"quit" with no accelerator, so ⌘Q was never
bound. Make it a custom action + accelerator "q" dispatched to
Utils.quit(), which emits before-quit so the existing guard (active
transfers / unsaved editors, native confirm dialog) runs instead of the
OS terminating directly. Handled before the manager-open check so ⌘Q
works with the connection manager open too.

Wires electrobun's Updater to the /dl download host. The packaged app checks
https://miniscp.com/dl on launch + every 6h; when a newer build exists, an
accent-colored "update tool" appears next to Connections in the tab bar. It
announces the update, becomes its own inline progress bar while downloading,
then flips to "Restart to apply" (two-step: download, then user-triggered
relaunch).
- electrobun.config.ts: release.baseUrl = https://miniscp.com/dl (baked into
version.json at build; miniscp.com fronted by an external proxy for TLS).
- rpc.ts: checkForUpdate/downloadUpdate/applyUpdate requests + updateStatus push.
- rpc-handlers.ts + index.ts: call Updater; poll on launch+6h; stream
onStatusChange progress. checkForUpdate self-guards the dev channel.
- rpc.service.ts + new updater.service.ts: signal-based state
(available -> downloading -> ready, ready derived from downloadUpdate ok).
- tab-bar.ts: single bg-primary pill; progress fills the pill itself.
- icons.ts: register mynaDownload. i18n: tabBar + menu keys across all locales.
- menu.ts + app.ts: "Check for Updates…" app-menu item -> UpdaterService.check().
- docs: build-and-release + architecture updated.
Unsigned builds still update (applyUpdate strips the macOS quarantine xattr).
Verified: tsc --noEmit (exit 0) + build:ui AOT (exit 0). Live pill + full
download/apply flow require a two-build test on the host.

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.

Local panels are fs.watched (LocalDirWatcher + setWatchedDirs -> pathRefresh);
remote panels poll every 3s. New refresh({silent}) skips the loading/busy
flags and touches no DOM, snapshotting sessionId+cwd to discard results if the
user navigated mid-flight. Only the active tab is live; switching tabs
refreshes the new pair. A future on/off setting is left as commented
breadcrumbs. Docs updated.

Three layers: windows are created hidden and revealed on the webview's
first dom-ready (800ms fallback); the bun preload bakes the persisted
theme data-attributes so the first paint is already themed; and
index.html carries an inline background style covering the
pre-stylesheet paint (values mirrored from styles.css tokens).

Build n = commit count, baked at build time into a gitignored
version.gen.ts (postinstall + all build scripts regenerate it). About
lives in the macOS app menu and as a footer row in the options popover
(the cross-platform path), showing build, commit, date and engines.

Single window centered over the main app. Electrobun has no native
modality, so it's approximated: bun bounces the main window's focus back
to the manager, the main webview shows a click-swallowing overlay, and
main-targeted menu/keyboard actions are dropped while open. Editor
windows stay fully usable. Connect/open-stack execute in the main
window via the existing connect: action channel; store edits push a
connectionsChanged refresh. Trigger moved from the panel dropdown to a
tab-bar button.

Real BrowserWindow per edited file with its own RPC instance, deduped by
sessionId+path. The same Angular bundle boots an editor-only root via
preload globals. Native close isn't cancellable in electrobun, so the
editor mirrors its draft to bun; traffic-light closes get a native
Save/Discard prompt after the fact, and failed saves park the draft in
the edit-leftovers dir. In-window closes (Cmd+W, Close) use a styled
prompt; the quit guard now also counts unsaved editors.

- before-quit is blocked while jobs are queued/scanning/running; a native
message box asks 'N transfers are still running - quit anyway?' (Cancel
default) and only an explicit Quit Anyway proceeds via Utils.quit()
- when the window is unfocused, finished transfers raise a native
notification (silent for completions, sound + error message for failures)
- engine.hasActiveJobs()/activeJobCount() (truth table verified headless)

Native menus (electrobun ContextMenu) on rows and empty panel space. Rows:
Open (dirs navigate; local files open with the default app via Utils.openPath),
Edit, Copy to Other Panel, Rename, Permissions, Copy Path (works for remote
paths too), Reveal in Finder (local, Utils.showItemInFolder), Move to Trash
(local, Utils.moveToTrash — tooltip notes Finder Restore doesn't apply) and
Delete. Empty space / '..': New Folder, New File, Refresh, Reveal in Finder.
Right-click parks the cursor on the row (keeping the selection when clicking
inside it). Local shell actions run bun-side directly; everything else routes
through the existing menuAction channel back to the stored click target.

The setImage-swapped progress frames lost the template treatment on macOS and
rendered black-on-dark once transfers started. Dial back per user decision:
the tray is now just the glyph (template image set once at construction, never
swapped) and clicking it activates the window — no menu, no progress effects.
Removes everything that only served the fancy version: progress frames +
generation, engine.aggregateProgress, the workspacesSync webview->bun channel
(schema, send proxy, panels effect, handlers) and the activate-tab action.

- AppTray: template menu-bar icon (22pt, adapts to light/dark). While
transfers run it swaps to pre-rendered frames — faded arrows + a fill bar
showing aggregate doneBytes/totalBytes of the queue (nearest 5%, throttled
500ms); back to the glyph when idle. No runtime image encoding.
- Menu: one entry per tab (checkmark on the active one) with live per-tab
transfer count and percentage (jobs mapped via session ids), an overall
progress row while transferring, Show <app>, Quit. Selecting a tab
activates the window and switches to it.
- First use of webview->bun messages: PanelsService pushes workspacesSync
(tab names, sessions, active id) via a new ready-gated send proxy; verified
end-to-end in the running app.
- engine.aggregateProgress(): totals + per-session breakdown over non-terminal
jobs (unit-verified idle/mid-transfer/idle).

- Built-in editor (default): large modal with monospace textarea, Cmd+S save,
dirty guard; reads/writes through the provider streams so it works on local
and remote files identically (2MB cap with a friendly error)
- External editor: remote files download to appDataDir/edits/<id>, open via
macOS `open -a`, the temp DIR is watched (survives atomic rename-saves) and
every save enqueues a normal upload job (progress/errors in the transfer
list); watchers + temp dirs are cleaned when the session disconnects
- Editor setting: Built-in | Custom with a NATIVE app picker (electrobun
openFileDialog, /Applications, .app filter) and reset-to-default
- Leftover temp files from a crash prompt for cleanup at boot
- F4, toolbar button (mynaFileText), and File > Edit File (Cmd+E) menu entry
- README: feature notes + Portability notes (open/start/xdg-open seam
documented in code and README per user request)
Verified headless against the box: sftp read/write roundtrip incl. UTF-8,
size cap, watch->save->auto-upload->remote-updated, session cleanup, orphan
listing and clearing.

Standard menus (App: hide/quit; Edit: clipboard roles enabling Cmd+C/V/X/Z;
View: Refresh Cmd+R + fullscreen; Window: minimize/zoom/cycle) plus File with
New/Close Tab (Cmd+T/W), New Folder/File, and a Connect submenu built from
saved connections (folders as nested submenus, Connection Manager entry).
Custom actions forward to the webview as menuAction messages; the menu rebuilds
whenever connections change. macOS-only per electrobun support.

Transfers: Single | Multi in the options popover, with an 'At once' picker
(2/3/4/6/8) when Multi. Engine concurrency becomes an instance field applied
live: at boot from settings.json and on every saveSettings (raising the limit
starts queued jobs immediately). Verified headless: 3 slow jobs overlap at
concurrency 3, stay strictly serial at 1, clamp works.

- 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.
