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.

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 main feature (copy selection to the other panel, F5) is now labeled
"Send" in the toolbar button, tooltips, and context menu across all 7
locales. Internal identifiers (copyToOtherPanel, ctx-copy, i18n keys)
and secondary strings (toasts, status bar, errors) are unchanged.
The context-menu entry moves ahead of Open/Edit as the first row item.
README, marketing site, and the Windows QA checklist updated to match.

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.
