feat(shell): rebuild the app shell as chrome + an inset content card - #5442

The root shell painted two opaque panes flush against each other: the
sidebar carried `bg-surface` — the same token as the content — and the two
were told apart only by a 1px seam plus six hairline dividers inside the
sidebar. The themed `AppBackground` (mesh gradient / solid / image) was
rendered underneath the whole time and then completely covered, so the
Theme Studio backdrop controls had no visible effect.
Split the shell into the two layers it was already paying for:
- Chrome — the shell root carries one legibility scrim across both the
sidebar column and the frame around the card, so they read as a single
continuous surface and the themed backdrop shows through. Scrimming
per-pane would tint them differently and reintroduce the seam.
- Card — routed content sits on a single inset, rounded ContentSurface,
the only opaque sheet left in the shell.
The two now separate by fill contrast, so the sidebar needs no border and
the resize divider no fill.
ContentSurface takes an `unframed` prop, and App.tsx sets it whenever a
provider account is active. This is load-bearing, not cosmetic: WebviewHost
hands the Rust side a plain {x,y,width,height} rectangle and CEF composites
that child view above the entire HTML layer, so a rounded card underneath
would show four square corners punching through the radius, with no CSS
able to mask them.
WindowDragBar becomes an in-flow band above the card instead of an absolute
overlay painted on top of the routed view. The overlay existed because the
content pane was edge-to-edge and a reserved inset would have pushed
full-bleed surfaces down; the card is inset by design now, so the band is
both simpler and no longer steals pointer events from the top 28px of page
content. It keeps its macOS+Tauri gate — reserving the band where a native
title bar already owns it would just waste 28px.
Chrome-level active states drop the primary accent for a neutral surface
lift plus weight: the chrome carries the theme's hue, so tinting a nav pill
on top of it stacks two colours. Semantic colour is untouched — the coral
unread badge, the companion dot, ConnectionIndicator, and Billing's
highlight row all keep theirs.
Adds --surface-chrome / --line-chrome and a zero-blur `content-edge`
hairline shadow. Theme.colors is a partial override map, so the 19 presets
need no edits and fall through to the tokens.css defaults.
The card sat 1px off the sidebar and 1px below the drag band with 8px on the right and bottom, which read as flush on the left and top-heavy on the right. An even 12px margin frames it deliberately instead. The top gap still lands largest — the window-drag band sits above the card inside the same column, so it totals ~40px there.
The chrome scrim was `bg-surface-chrome/70` plus `backdrop-blur-xl`, which flattened the themed AppBackground into paint. Combined with the opaque content card that landed in 310f8ee, that hid the animated WebGL mesh gradient everywhere it used to be visible: routed pages paint no background of their own (PanelScaffold), so the content pane had been a transparent window onto it. The shader kept rendering and burning GPU for a backdrop nobody could see. Drop to /30 and remove the blur, so the mesh animates in the sidebar and the frame around the card. The blur was also smearing the 18px dotted canvas. The card stays opaque on purpose — a neutral content sheet is what makes hue-in-the-chrome work, and a native CEF webview cannot be translucent anyway. /30 is the legibility knob; it most likely needs raising under a `backdrop: image` theme, where an arbitrary photo is far harsher than the mesh.
The fade behind the floating composer left a visible band once the content
card landed. Three coupled values were all assuming a background that no
longer existed:
- The fade hardcoded `from-white dark:from-black`. That matched only while
the page was a transparent window onto the app canvas (pure black in
dark). It was never right for custom themes.
- The page root painted `bg-surface/70 dark:bg-black/40` — a translucent
tint. Over the canvas it composed to exactly black, which is why the
hardcoded fade lined up. Over the opaque card it composes to an
un-tokened ~#0e0e0e that nothing else in the app can name, so no fade
colour could ever match it.
- The hero card used `bg-surface/80`, which only read as a card because
that darker tint sat beneath it.
Drop the page tint so the page simply is the card's surface, fade from the
`surface` token, and give the hero the `surface-muted` lift the message
bubbles already use. One named colour, and the fade matches by construction
in every theme rather than by coincidence in two.
Same fade bug, same class string, fixed identically in AgentChatPanel.
CEF paints classic always-visible scrollbars rather than the macOS overlay ones, so every scroll pane drew a permanent grey gutter down the edge of the content card — most visible now that the card is inset. Give them the platform behaviour instead: a ~4px pill inside a 10px gutter, tinted from `--content-faint` so it follows every theme rather than a hardcoded grey, revealed while the pane scrolls (and on hover) and faded out once it goes idle. Only the thumb's colour animates. Toggling `width` would reflow the pane's content on every scroll, so the gutter is always reserved and simply invisible at rest. CSS has no "is scrolling" state, so lib/autoHideScrollbars.ts stamps `data-scrolling` on the element that scrolled and clears it after an idle timeout. `scroll` does not bubble, so it listens in the capture phase on the document — one listener covers every pane in the app, including ones mounted later, with no per-component wiring. Installed in bootRender so all four window entries (main, mascot, notch, overlay) get it. Deliberately does not set `scrollbar-color`/`scrollbar-width`: in Chromium the standard properties take precedence and disable ::-webkit-scrollbar styling entirely, which would kill the auto-hide. Native CEF provider webviews are separate documents and keep their own scrollbars regardless.
Reworks the thread rail from a divider-separated table into the grouped-list
idiom the settings sidebar already uses:
- A muted "CONVERSATIONS" section header with the new-conversation
affordance docked on the right, replacing the full-width centered button.
- Rows are inset rounded pills separated by spacing. Six hairlines in a
short list read as a table, not as a list of destinations.
- Message count sits in the trailing slot at rest and yields to the
rename/delete actions on hover.
- Fills are alpha-based so a row lifts identically whether the list is
projected into the translucent app sidebar or rendered inside the opaque
chat aside.
Rows are a fixed h-8, matching SidebarNav. The hover-revealed actions are
taller than the title's line box, so a padding-sized row grew 4px the moment
the pointer entered it and the list shifted under the cursor. The actions are
`hidden` rather than `opacity-0` for the same reason — invisible-but-laid-out
buttons kept reserving the slot the count badge now occupies and squeezed
every title.
Drops the thread search along with it, and with it the parent's now-dead
`threadSearch` state and `visibleThreads` memo; the list renders
`sortedThreads` directly. `new-thread-button`, `thread-row-*` and
`thread-title-input-*` are unchanged — four Playwright specs drive them.
Brings the sidebar closer to the reference layouts: breathing room instead of rules, and one selected-row treatment everywhere. No hairlines left. Two survived the earlier pass — the app rail's `border-b` (the line above CONVERSATIONS) and the version footer's `border-t`. Regions are separated by spacing alone now, which is the whole point of a sidebar that sits on chrome rather than on its own panel. More room throughout: nav rows py-1.5 -> py-2 with a real gap between them, the header/app-rail/footer gutters widened, and everything landing text at a consistent 18px inset. Section labels sit slightly left of the row text, matching the reference idiom. Rewards and Share Feedback stop being full-bleed centered bands with a rule above each — they are left-aligned rounded pills with 16px icons now, structurally identical to the nav rows above them. Selection is `bg-surface/70` + weight everywhere. The thread list was the last holdout on `bg-primary-500/20`, which put an accent tint back into a chrome that already carries the theme's hue — the two colours stacked and read as noise next to the neutral nav pill directly above it. Drops the header's Home shortcut: the primary nav immediately below already carries Chat, so it was a duplicate destination taking the slot nearest the traffic lights. `useHomeNav` stays — CollapsedNavRail still needs it.
…dges Chat was the one surface that opened with no title at all. It now carries the same flush PanelHeader band every other page uses, naming the open thread. Page variant only: the embedded sidebar variant lives in a 420px aside where a full band costs more vertical room than it earns, and its host already titles the surface. Suppressed until a thread resolves, so a brand-new chat does not open with an empty band sitting above the hero. A fade under the band mirrors the one above the composer, so messages dissolve into the header as they scroll up rather than colliding with it. It hangs off the band with `top-full` instead of a hard-coded offset, because the header's height changes when a long title wraps. ChatThreadView gains a `topPadding` prop — the mirror of the existing `bottomPadding` — so the first message clears the gradient at rest instead of sitting under it washed out; both the fade and the padding read one `headerFadePx` constant so they cannot drift. Wrapping ChatThreadView to host the fade was not an option: it returns a fragment whose first child is the flex scroll container and has to stay a direct child of the panel column. Brain moves its title/description into PanelPage so it renders as the same band rather than a bordered card floating in the content column. That alone was not enough — the band was still inset, because `mx-auto max-w-5xl` wrapped the whole PanelPage, header included. That cap was redundant: every tab body already carries its own `mx-auto max-w-3xl` and PageWelcome its own `max-w-2xl`, so the header now runs edge to edge with no body reflow.
There were four nav lists with four different treatments — the root sidebar, the settings sidebar, the thread list, and TwoPaneNav (the Brain / Tiny Place sub-nav). Stacked in the same column they read as different components. One spec now: 15px, medium by default and semibold when selected, on a neutral alpha fill. Size goes 13px -> 15px (12px -> 14px for the Rewards/Feedback affordances), and inactive rows pick up font-medium so they stop reading as placeholder text next to the selected row. Inactive text settles on `content-muted` everywhere. TwoPaneNav and the settings sidebar were using `content-secondary` — 82 vs 115 — which at the same font-medium read as a heavier weight sitting directly below the lighter root nav, even though nothing about the weight differed. TwoPaneNav also drops the accent tint on its selected icon, matching the neutral selection the rest of the app now uses.
First launch opened at the modest size declared in `tauri.conf.json` and centred, which on a large display looks like a small window floating in the middle of the screen. `maximize_to_work_area` fills the target monitor's work area instead, and `center_main` stays as the fallback for when no monitor resolves at all. Deliberately the work *area*, not full monitor bounds — the macOS menu bar / Dock and the Windows taskbar stay uncovered, which is what a user means by "maximized" and also keeps the result inside what `clamp_to_work_area` considers valid. Position is applied before size, for the same DPI reason documented on `restore_main`: the size that sticks is the one measured against the monitor the window has actually arrived on. Saved geometry still wins. This only changes the no-saved-state path, so a returning user keeps whatever size they last left the window at.

- Around line 3403-3404: Update the startup flow around
window_state::restore_main so its failure reasons remain distinguishable instead
of treating every false result identically. Only invoke maximize_to_work_area

15px sat slightly large against the 14px body text the panels use. Nav rows go to 14px and the footer affordances to 13px, keeping the one-point step between the two tiers.
It painted a white veil over whichever message sat at the top of the list — very visible against a blue user bubble. The fade was solving a problem this layout does not have. The bottom of the pane needs one because the composer is absolutely positioned and floats over the messages. The header is `flex-shrink-0` in normal flow, so the scroll area simply starts below it and nothing ever scrolls underneath — there was no overlap to soften, only content to tint. Takes the matching `topPadding` prop out of ChatThreadView with it rather than leaving dead API surface behind.
- window_state: route the first-launch work-area sizing through `clamp_to_work_area`. Setting the raw work-area dimensions bypassed `clamp_size`, so a work area under 480x360 could open below the module's MIN_WINDOW_* floor and behave differently from `restore_main` / `center_main`. Real bug. - SettingsSidebar: test `active` before `highlight` for the row icon. A row that was both rendered a neutral label next to an accent icon. - index.css: delete the `.scrollbar-thin` utility. Zero call sites, and being in `@layer utilities` it outranked the base-layer auto-hide rules — the first person to reach for it would have got a permanently visible thumb that ignored `data-scrolling`. A trap, not a feature. - autoHideScrollbars: document why the continued-scroll branch is silent. `scroll` fires per animation frame, so a log there would emit ~60 lines/second per pane and bury the start/idle transitions that carry the information.
CodeRabbit's review was right that `restore_main`'s doc comment still promised a centered fallback, which this PR changed. Half of that finding was a doc bug, not a code bug. The contract is now stated as it actually is: `false` means there is no usable saved geometry, and the caller falls back to `maximize_to_work_area` first, with `center_main` only when no monitor resolves at all. Two log lines said "centered default" for the same reason; they now say "default placement", which is true regardless of which fallback wins.
Inactive rows drop back to normal weight; only the selected row stays semibold. Everything sitting at medium meant weight carried no information — the fill was doing all the work of marking selection, and the extra weight just made the whole list heavier. The settings sidebar's highlighted-but-inactive rows (Billing) lose it too; their accent colour already says what the weight was repeating.
Extracts the geometry decision out of `maximize_to_work_area` into `work_area_fill_geometry`, which is pure and testable without a live window handle — the reason the original had no coverage. Three cases, the third being the one CodeRabbit caught: a work area smaller than MIN_WINDOW_* must still produce at least the minimum, matching what `restore_main` and `center_main` guarantee. Previously that invariant held only by inspection.

Two conflicts, both in the sidebar: - `SidebarAppRail.tsx` was deleted upstream while this branch had restyled it (padding, divider removal). Took the deletion — the component is gone, so the restyle is moot. - `AppSidebar.tsx` — upstream removed the rail's render block; this branch had removed the hairline dividers. Kept both: the rail is gone, and the slot outlet keeps no `border-t`, since a sidebar sitting on chrome is exactly what the divider removal was for. Dropped the now-dead `SidebarAppRail` import and its row from the component's layout diagram.

The merge brought in upstream's removal of the provider-webview stack: `WebviewHost` is deleted and `activeProviderAccount` / `accountsOverlayOpen` are gone, so `App.tsx` no longer compiled. That surface was the entire reason `unframed` existed — CEF composited a provider webview above the HTML layer as a plain rectangle, so a rounded card beneath it showed four square corners punching through, with no CSS able to mask them. With it gone, no route needs the escape hatch. Dropped the dead wiring rather than inventing a new caller, and corrected the docs on both primitives, which asserted a live CEF webview "*must*" set this. Leaving that text would have been actively misleading about a surface that no longer ships. The prop itself stays: the constraint recurs for anything the compositor draws above the HTML layer, and full-bleed is a reasonable ask of a layout primitive. It is tested in both states.

…: route the first-launch work-area sizing through\n `clamp_to_work_area`. Setting the raw work-area dimensions bypassed\n `clamp_size`, so a work area under 480x360 could open below the module's\n MIN_WINDOW_* floor and behave differently from `restore_main` /\n `center_main`. Real bug.\n\n- SettingsSidebar: test `active` before `highlight` for the row icon. A row\n that was both rendered a neutral label next to an accent icon.\n\n- index.css: delete the `.scrollbar-thin` utility. Zero call sites, and being\n in `@layer utilities` it outranked the base-layer auto-hide rules — the\n first person to reach for it would have got a permanently visible thumb\n that ignored `data-scrolling`. A trap, not a feature.\n\n- autoHideScrollbars: document why the continued-scroll branch is silent.\n `scroll` fires per animation frame, so a log there would emit ~60\n lines/second per pane and bury the start/idle transitions that carry the\n information.\n

Summary
AppBackground) visible again — it was being painted and then completely covered, burning GPU for a backdrop nobody could see.ContentSurfacewith anunframedfull-bleed escape hatch (see the note below — upstream deleted the surface it was written for, mid-review).Problem
The root shell painted the sidebar with
bg-surface— the same token as the content — so the two panes were told apart only by a 1px seam plus six hairline dividers inside the sidebar. MeanwhileAppBackground(WebGL mesh gradient / solid / image, theme-driven) rendered underneath the whole time and was then fully covered, so the Theme Studio backdrop controls had no visible effect at all.Downstream of that, several surfaces had drifted:
TwoPaneNav) each hard-coded their own size, weight, inactive tone and selected fill.from-white/dark:from-black, which only matched by coincidence and was never right for custom themes.Solution
Two layers, separated by fill contrast. The shell root carries one legibility scrim across both the sidebar column and the frame around the card, so they read as one continuous surface — scrimming per-pane tints them differently and reintroduces the seam. The card is the only opaque sheet left.
unframed— written as load-bearing, now vestigial. It existed becauseWebviewHosthanded the Rust side a plain{x,y,width,height}rectangle and CEF composited that child view above the entire HTML layer: a rounded card underneath showed four square corners punching through, maskable by no CSS.Merging
upstream/main(1055 commits, incl.refactor/internalize-tiny-crates) brought in the deletion ofWebviewHostand the whole provider-webview stack, which brokeApp.tsxoutright —activeProviderAccountno longer exists. The wiring is removed and the docs on both primitives corrected; they previously claimed a live CEF webview "must" set this, which would now mislead about a surface that no longer ships. The prop stays, tested in both states, because the constraint recurs for anything the compositor draws above the HTML layer.The composer fade now fades to the token the surface actually paints. Three coupled values were each assuming a background that no longer existed — the fade literal, a translucent page tint, and the hero card's
bg-surface/80lift. Fixed as a chain rather than patching the symptom.Scrollbars: only the thumb's colour animates; the gutter is always reserved, so no reflow on scroll. CSS has no "is scrolling" state, so
lib/autoHideScrollbars.tsstampsdata-scrollingvia a single capture-phase listener (scrolldoesn't bubble, so capture covers every pane including ones mounted later).Submission Checklist
ContentSurface,RootShellLayout,autoHideScrollbars); the rest is styling changes to existing covered componentsImpact
Desktop only. No routes, nav config or RPC surface changed, so the E2E
navigation.specROUTES table is untouched.Two risks worth reviewer attention:
CEF compositing— no longer applicable. This was the headline risk:unframedwas unit-tested but never exercised by hand against a live provider account. Upstream deleted that entire surface during review, so there is nothing left to verify.bg-surface-chrome/30is deliberately light so the animated mesh stays visible. Most likely to be too light under abackdrop: imagetheme, where an arbitrary photo is far harsher than the mesh. That alpha is the single knob.--surface-chrome/--line-chromewere added totokens.cssonly.Theme.colorsis a partial override map, so all 19 presets fall through to the defaults and needed no edits.Related
