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.

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.

Reload/Inspect Element no longer appear on uncontrolled right-clicks
in any window; text fields keep the system text menu.

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.
