Edward Langley a8737f3fa5 One page rule for both ends; the help overlay shows how to page
improvise-5xbq: resolve::page_rows is now the one home of the page-scroll
rule; the TUI's Move calls it instead of repeating visible_rows * 3 / 4.
A lockstep case pages (PgDn/PgUp, Ctrl-d/Ctrl-u) on a non-square window,
8 rows by 3 columns, and pins the TUI's landing rows as well as comparing
host and client, since one home moves both ends together. Both faults
the ticket injected (page_rows = window_rows / 2; paging by window_cols)
now fail at the first PgDn, before and after the move to one home.

improvise-1c5m: the help overlay draws the mode's own hint (hint_line,
the string #hint carries) in a sticky footer, so a narrow window whose
app bar wraps under #help still says how to page. Playwright case at
600px, red at base, and red again with the footer made non-sticky.

Edward Langley 170d94807b Merge remote-tracking branch 'gh/main' into wire2/2wu3 2026-09-22 22:44:47 -07:00
Edward Langley c960713f8c The worker's status claims success only on its first frame (improvise-i0v9)
The worker transport wrote "in-page worker · <doc>" when it spawned the
worker, before anything had answered, so a tab whose worker could not start
showed a success-looking status over a blank page. It now writes "starting
the worker · <doc>…", and createShell's arm() takes an `answer` that sawFrame
writes on the first frame, but only while the watchdog is still armed. A
ReadOnly or SeedMissing notice lands BEFORE the Snapshot, and fail() has
already disarmed, so the claim cannot overwrite the precise reason.

The two-tab spec now logs every #status and denies both the premature claim
and "did not answer" before the page clock is walked. A new spec pins the
exact status sequence on the writable path. Reasoning:
context/code/clients.md, "The watchdog".

Edward Langley d750b433b8 fix: the app bar is reserved, not fitted, and a message is a toast (improvise-n6t8)
The rule is the deliverable: nothing a user expects to be fixed may move.

Four children of <header> were sized by their own content and all four
changed on the SAME event, so the bar reflowed on a mode change with no
message at all: #mode (mode_label, 4-14 chars), #hint (hint_line, one
line per mode), #doc-name (gains and loses " [+]") and #view-name, which
had :empty { display: none } and so appeared out of nothing.

Every child that changes with a keystroke now has an allocated width, and
#hint is the single elastic child, so nothing is positioned by it. The
mode pill's reserve is a FLOOR and deliberately not a cap: a cap absorbs
an over-long label inside a box that never grows, which is a reserve that
hides its own failure. AppMode's exhaustive-match methods make the
compiler demand mode_label for a new variant; nothing checked the CSS
still fit it. harness/tests/header.spec.js is that check.

The spec found what the ticket did not predict: the compounding one was
not the pill. #status was flex: 0 1 auto beside a flex: 1 1 auto hint, so
a longer hint took the shrink out of #status, which WRAPPED to two and
three lines and grew the header by a row -- 52.5px to 71.0px. Reserving
the pill alone would have left that untouched.

ViewState::status_msg is now a toast in a position: fixed dock anchored at
its bottom, so it takes part in no layout and stacks ABOVE the minibuffer:
the prompt is neither covered nor displaced. composeStatus is gone -- the
two facts go to two elements, so a repaint reaches onModel and cannot
address onShell at all. That is gotcha 46's rule made structural rather
than kept by a join's convention; its unit test was replaced, not deleted.

Dismissal keys off message IDENTITY, not a timer. status_msg is STATE and
repaint() re-offers it on every revision, so a setTimeout alone resurrects
the toast on the next keypress. Cost stated rather than hidden: two
identical messages in a row show once, because nothing carries a sequence
and the alternative reading of an ambiguous offer is exactly the bug.

Nine of seventeen modes are reachable in a browser and the spec names them
individually; three injected faults are recorded in the evidence file.

Edward Langley 9156b48f12 fix: the page menu must not claim a modified key (ChatGPT Codex, PR #123)
The menu's early return sat ABOVE `app.js`'s `metaKey` guard, so with the menu
open `Cmd-R` reached `menuKey`, was answered `ignore`, and was then defaulted
away by `if (!e.ctrlKey && !e.altKey) e.preventDefault()` — true for Meta.
Reload was blocked. `Ctrl-j`/`Alt-Home` had the mirror fault and MOVED the menu,
two lines below a comment saying Ctrl and Alt stay the browser's.

Ordering plus one bail: the `metaKey` guard goes back above the menu branch,
`pageMenuKeydown` returns on `ctrlKey || altKey`, and what remains claims
unconditionally — every unmodified key, `ignore` included, which is the rule the
menu exists to keep.

The harness assertion installs its `defaultPrevented` probe AFTER load so it
runs second and sees what the page decided, and ends on an unmodified `j`
asserting `["j", true]` — without which "nothing was prevented" is satisfied by
a page that claims nothing. Proved by restoring the reviewed code: it fails on
`Control+j` moving the active row.

Edward Langley a913390322 feat: the page bar becomes a control, and [/] reach the modes about the document
Three tickets on one subject: paging.

improvise-rw6l — clicking a page chip opens a menu of that axis's items, with
a down-arrow saying so. Almost nothing had to be derived: `PageAxis::items` was
already projected and `ModelCommand::SetPageSelection` was already on the wire.
The one gap was that `RenderPageAxis` dropped the names, keeping the position
and count improvise-p1ym needed for `[`/`]`. `items` is relayed INSIDE `cycle`
rather than beside it, so there is one predicate and not two: a Filter axis has
no cycle, therefore no arrow, no menu, no items, and composes nothing if a click
reaches it — all four off `PageAxis::cycle`, the one home of gotcha 27's split.

improvise-771e — the browser tile bar said "Quarter Pag". `short_label` is three
characters so the TUI aligns in a fixed-width terminal (gotcha 26); a browser has
no column to fit. `render.rs` asks `plain_label` instead; `short_label` is
untouched. Note what pinned the truncation was `harness/tests/drill.spec.js`,
not `tests/grid_frame_agreement.rs`, which does not mention the tile bar.

improvise-wiew — `[`/`]` move from Normal onto a new `document_keymap` between
the global and the modes whose subject IS the document (Normal, the three
panels, TileSelect; RecordsNormal through Normal). Help and the import wizard
take the global directly. Per the user's ruling: an overlay has a subject of its
own, and these are the first shared keys that MUTATE the document — under the
help overlay that is an invisible change to the grid it is covering.

Boundary crossings to flag, both outside the brief's stated write scope and
neither a wire change:
  - `resolve.rs` gains `Click::PageItem` and `lib.rs` a `click_page_item`
    binding. Composing the command anywhere else would put a derivation in the
    page, which design-principles §5 forbids; `Command`/`ModelCommand` are
    untouched.
  - `improvise-command/src/command/keymap.rs` gains three tests. The two
    existing guards were the mechanism that forced the wiew argument, so they
    had to be answered where they live.

Edward Langley 8ad5c0806d feat(web): dismissable notice, a raised minibuffer, and a styled shell
Three things the user reported after looking at the deployed page, in the
order they cost a visitor something.

The deployment notice was ten dense lines of configuration reference —
?doc=, ?seed=, ?ws=, wss:// and reverse proxies — above the tile bar, the
category tree and the grid on every visit: about 230px of an 820px window.
It is now a <details>, so the collapsing is the BROWSER's (keyboard
operable, and correct with app.js absent or still loading) and the only
thing the page adds is remembering the answer. It starts COLLAPSED, and
collapsing withholds nothing: the one fact a first visitor needs — the
document lives in this tab, is saved to this browser's private storage and
never leaves the machine — is the <summary>, which never collapses.

What a stored value means is a decision and lives in shell.js; touching
localStorage is a browser API and stays in app.js, wrapped, with every
value that is not one of the two spellings read as "unanswered".

The minibuffer was a 14px line in the page's bottom-left corner, up to
800px from the cell being typed into. It is now a raised bar over the
grid. The CONTENT is untouched — RenderMinibuffer is built from
`state.view.mode.minibuffer()`, the same semantic value the TUI draws — so
this is position, weight and contrast, and there is no second derivation of
what a prompt says. MinibufColor still resolves here exactly as
draw.rs::minibuf_fg resolves it for the terminal.

style.css stops being "legibility only": layered surfaces, one accent, a
filled badge for the mode, chips for the two axis strips, one selection
treatment, tabular numerals in the grid, and a focus ring on the one
keyboard surface the page has. The palette is the landing page's, so the
two read as one product.

Asserted (harness/tests/contract.spec.js, Chromium): the notice starts
collapsed and remembers, in BOTH directions across a reload; it opens from
the keyboard, which the page's own keydown handler must not claim; the
minibuffer is inside the viewport, OVERLAPS #grid — the assertion a static
bottom bar cannot satisfy — and is larger than body text. Each was proved
discriminating by injecting the fault and watching it fail.

NOT asserted, and named as such in context/code/clients.md: colour,
contrast, spacing, weight, the grouped and multi-level header DOM, either
theme, and the localStorage-throws path. Those are argued and read.

Edward Langley a93d668e5e feat(browser): paint the page bar and the totals strip, and delegate the pointer
improvise-p7lh: `GridCache::page_coords` and `GridCache::totals` were projected
to every session and folded correctly by every client, and NO front end read
either. The shipped front page — `web/demo.improv` is `Quarter: page, Q1` —
drew a grid filtered to Q1 with nothing saying so, and `[`/`]` resolve locally
off that same `page_coords`, so a user could page through quarters watching
every number change with no way to tell which one they were looking at.

`RenderModel` gains `page_coords` and `totals`, fed straight off `state.grid`.
The Page/Filter split is asked of `PageAxis::cycle` rather than re-derived from
`items.is_some()`, which disagrees with it on an empty item list (gotcha 27).
The totals are RELAYED, never summed in the client: the sum runs over every row
including ones a viewport scrolled past (gotcha 44).

`web/tests/render_surface.test.js` gains the direction that would have caught
this when improvise-n10 added the fields. The existing guard is closed under
what `RenderModel` chose to expose, so a cache field that never reaches it is
invisible to it; the new one asks that every `pub` field of every widget cache
is read somewhere the browser runs, or is named as debt with a reason.
`grid.col_widths` is the one entry, pointing at improvise-pcje.

improvise-b8ot: the five clickable surfaces moved from one listener per node,
reallocated inside the render loops on every repaint, to one handler per stable
delegation root — the user's ruling. The operands are carried on the node as
data attributes and read back by a pure `cellAction`/`indexAction` in
`web/shell.js`, so the handler is a LOOKUP rather than a second derivation of
which data row was clicked: `gridPlan` counts data rows because a group header
is not one, and walking the table back up would disagree the moment one appears.
The editor's own keydown/blur stay direct — one transient node, one at a time,
and `blur` does not bubble.

All four documented behaviours a naive delegation loses are preserved and each
is now asserted in `harness/tests/contract.spec.js`: mousedown rather than click
(asserted by dispatching mousedown ALONE), `preventDefault` and only over a cell,
the conditionally skipped repaint (asserted by the editor's survival), and
closing a live editor before composing the click.

Gates: 1598 passed / 0 failed / 7 ignored over 37 binaries (baseline 1595);
node --test 47 over 6 files (baseline 36 over 5); Playwright 47 passed /
4 skipped (baseline 43 / 4); clippy, fmt and --check-evidence clean.

Edward Langley 12714c7527 feat(browser): a boot failure is a state with a reason, not silence
improvise-1wft and the five beads it blocked were one failure: nothing
carried a boot failure's REASON from the worker to the page. The channel
is one rule -- a protocol frame crosses the port as a STRING, a shell
notice as an OBJECT -- so it needs no protocol change and the
discriminator is total.

A boot failure is a STATE, not a rejected promise. A document another
context holds the exclusive handle to now OPENS read-only: measured first
(harness probe, Chromium + Firefox), getFile() reads the bytes while the
handle is held, with the second-handle refusal asserted so the probe
cannot pass vacuously.

- improvise-1wft  the channel: Notice/NoticeKind, boot_notice, take_notice
- improvise-i0v9  read-only boot over vfs::ReadOnly + OpfsFs::read_unattached
- improvise-86nw  start() rejecting for any reason now posts BootFailed
- improvise-9cma  boot::document_name -- and a/b/c.improv was ACCEPTED as
                  c.improv, not rejected, which is worse than the report
- improvise-iobc  vfs::Origin: a seed error is a notice only when the
                  document really had to be created without it
- improvise-vep8  the watchdog arms BEFORE transport.ready; its message
                  stopped claiming the connection was accepted
- improvise-7gip  DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope (needs a web-sys feature)
- improvise-zre1  a persist that fails raises a notice; the trigger is the
                  dirty flag surviving, observed rather than predicted
- improvise-7gf8  the render breaker trips once instead of retrying forever
- improvise-ociy  non-OPEN sends are loud; a viewport announcement is not
- improvise-y01k  the three ws-server drops are logged
- improvise-r4nf  serde failures throw instead of reading as "nothing to send"

Every notice routes through shell.fail, so gotcha 48's disarm half is not
re-broken. Two comments in shell.spec.js stated the opposite of the new
arming order and were corrected rather than left.

Edward Langley 852e3f8659 fix(web): a selection driven below the fold scrolls itself into view
improvise-jq8l. `web/app.js` called `scrollIntoView` NOWHERE, so a selection
moved past the bottom of `#grid` stayed there, invisible, with no way back but
scrolling by hand.

What the ticket did not predict: this is NOT a projection bug and NOT a
`row_offset` bug, and the acceptance criteria's talk of reconciling the absolute
selection against the announced window describes work `render.rs` already does.
The row had been sent. `#grid` has `overflow: auto`, `ROW_PX`/`COL_PX`
UNDER-estimate (a real row measures 28.6px against the assumed 26) and inline
group rows are deliberately not charged for at all, so the page renders more rows
than its own box can show and the overflow is the DOM's. `block: "nearest"` is
the whole option: it scrolls only when the element is out of view, and it scrolls
the nearest container rather than the document.

The expensive half was the fixture. Neither shipped document can reach the state
— `web/demo.improv` is four rows, `harness/fixtures/grouped.improv` is eight, and
a probe measured BOTH at `scrollHeight === clientHeight` in a 484px box. The
assertion would have passed against a page that never scrolls, which is why the
spec asserts the overflow exists before it presses a key.
`harness/fixtures/tall.improv` is thirty rows in three groups; measured against
the unfixed page it gives 105px of overflow with the selected cell 96px below the
visible bottom and `scrollTop` still 0.

Tests: 25 chromium harness (was 24), Rust and node unchanged.

Edward Langley 628f43121d feat(web): the title bar is painted, a click survives an editor, and the twin door is gone
improvise-5jna, improvise-0x9u, improvise-seik — three browser-page defects with
one shape: a thing that looks done from every check except running it.

improvise-5jna. `doc_name`/`doc_dirty`/`doc_stored_as` were projected by z754 and
painted by nothing. `render_surface.test.js` could not see it — it is a SUBSTRING
SEARCH over the page's source, so a field named by a function nothing calls reads
as painted, which is also how `model.minibuffer` shipped dead. So the guard is a
harness assertion that loads the page and reads `#doc-name`, proved by writing it
first (`element(s) not found`). The joining is `shell.js::documentTitle`, the
TUI's own `name (stored_as) [+]` minus the chrome; the `[+]` is a node test, not a
harness one, because this deployment persists on every accepted batch and clears
the flag in the same round trip, so the marker is transient. UNPAINTED is now
empty.

improvise-0x9u. From an EDITING state a cell click did nothing at all: the
mousedown moved focus, the input's blur ran `close`, `close` repainted,
`replaceChildren` destroyed the `<td>` the mousedown landed on, and no `click`
was ever dispatched. The old spec pressed Escape between the two clicks, so it
only ever clicked from a non-editing page — this repo's characteristic defect.

Worth recording: moving to `mousedown` is NECESSARY AND NOT SUFFICIENT, and the
first attempt failed the same assertion with the same symptom. Removing a focused
`<input>` fires `blur` SYNCHRONOUSLY, so `close` rebuilt the table from inside
itself and detached the `<td>` again. `close` therefore no longer repaints, the
`blur` arm checks `closed` first, and the handler `preventDefault()`s so no focus
change happens at all — otherwise the default action focuses `#grid` after
`input.focus()` and blurs the new editor. `close` restores the DRAWN text, since
nothing repaints behind it any more.

improvise-seik. `Client::viewport` was a wasm-bindgen door with no caller, kept
for a reason `web/app.js` falsified in the same wave. It is one letter from
`set_viewport` and fails SILENTLY — identical frame, forgotten window, every
cursor key an upstream black hole. Deleted, along with the exported `init()` free
function that duplicated `new Client()`. The guard is not the deletion:
`wasm_surface.test.js` now reads the generated `.d.ts` and requires every
declared method to be one `app.js` calls or to be named in `UNCALLED` with its
reason. Proved by injecting a spare `static viewport(...)` into the built `.d.ts`
and watching it fail by name.

Tests: 1405 Rust (unchanged), 27 node + 4 bundle (was 26 + 3), 24 chromium
harness (was 23).

Edward Langley d1ce2ecbc3 fix(web): an advertised key is never silent, a formula is visible, and +cat commits
improvise-rmvx, improvise-fdt6, improvise-gcvb — three faces of the same
thing: a browser offering something and then doing nothing.

rmvx. `the_command_names_that_still_need_the_host_are_these` was built with
`in_mode(AppMode::Normal)`, so it only ever asked about Normal-mode bindings:
`add-record-row` (RecordsNormal) and `delete-formula-at-cursor` (FormulaPanel)
were outside its reach entirely and could never have failed it. A named list
that silently scopes itself to one mode is a guard that looks broader than it
is. `every_advertised_command_answers_in_its_own_mode` crosses
`help::advertised` — command NAMES, so no hint string is tokenised — against
`resolve` in every mode, over a fixture furnished enough that an `Upstream` can
only mean an unhandled name. It found a seventh instance the ticket had not
predicted: `view-back` is advertised in RecordsNormal.

Six names now decline out loud, each with its own true subject, out of one
`declined` table; `stranding` returns the subject rather than a bool, so `:`
says the command line is unavailable instead of doing nothing. A declining step
takes its whole `Binding::Sequence` with it, which is what keeps `o` ("add a
record row, then edit it") from opening an editor on a row nobody created.

fdt6. `commit-buffer formula` already resolved; what did not exist was any way
to SEE the typing. `RenderModel::editing` is scoped to the two cell-editing
modes and reads the "edit" buffer by name, so FormulaEdit, CategoryAdd, ItemAdd
and the three prompts opened and swallowed every character. `RenderModel::
minibuffer` is `AppMode::minibuffer()` plus the buffer that config names, read
through `improvise_protocol::read_buffer` so gotcha 11 keeps its one home, and
`web/app.js` paints it.

gcvb. The records-mode early return was broader than its reason. A
`CellId::Create` commits the typed NAME as one existing `ModelCommand`, reads
no `record_col` and writes no cell, so the return narrows rather than
disappears. `+cat` must NOT advance: an inserted column renumbers every index
to its right and the advance was computed from the pre-commit layout, so a
client that advanced anyway would land one column off, silently. Both halves
proved by injection against `CommitAndAdvance` in `tests/lockstep.rs`.

Every new guard was proved by injecting the fault it names. The one worth
repeating: `web/tests/render_surface.test.js` went green over a page that
painted nothing, because the string `model.minibuffer` was inside a function
nothing called. The static check is a completeness check, never an execution
check — `harness/tests/keys.spec.js` caught it in Chromium on the first run.

1394 → 1397 Rust tests; harness 17 → 19 passed, 3 skipped; node 26.

Edward Langley ec03f950b3 Merge remote-tracking branch 'gh/main' into fix/web-panel-clicks 2026-09-20 14:36:19 -07:00
Edward Langley 89f67afd4c fix(harness): make a vacuous watchdog denial fail, and single-home the window
PR #65's review found this PR had planted a fresh instance of the defect it
exists to repair. Both blocking findings fixed, each demonstrated.

FINDING 1. "a peer that cannot be reached is named, and the watchdog stays out
of it" could not see the property its comment claimed. `shell.arm` runs only
after `await transport.ready`, which never resolves on a socket that never
opens — so the watchdog is never armed there and denying "sent no document"
denies an unreachable event. Reverting PR #21's routing left that clause
passing.

The aggravating half: `context/test-evidence/clients.md` already said so, and
this PR EDITED that paragraph — inserting "runFor(10s) advances the watchdog"
immediately above the sentence explaining it is never armed. Not text the PR
left alone; text the PR walked past mid-sentence.

The clause is gone and the test keeps the naming property it really guards: a
`close` on a socket that never opened must not read as "disconnected". And the
shape cannot return — `outlastTheWatchdog` now asks the page `timesArmed() > 0`
before jumping, so a watchdog denial re-added to that path FAILS BY NAME. It
asks *ever armed* rather than *armed now* on purpose: by the time the disconnect
test jumps, a correct page has already disarmed, which is the property, so the
obvious spelling would have denied the passing case. Building the guard is what
surfaced that distinction; reading had not.

FINDING 2. The spec kept its own `HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT_MS` beside a comment saying
a silent disagreement "would pass for the wrong reason". It did: the spec at
1000 against the page's 8000 made the suite green over the reverted routing,
because the jump landed inside the window. The constant is now exported from
`web/shell.js` and imported by both, so the disagreement is unconstructible.
Shrinking it in its one home still catches the routing revert — that is the
demonstration the guard did not go quiet.

Filed, not fixed: improvise-78v6 (#61 also deleted the help-overlay spec and
nothing replaced it — a PR about a dropped guard that did not diff the dropping
PR's test names) and improvise-5ray (--check-evidence collects only `### ` and
resolves only Rust fns, so every browser entry's `####` is invisible; appending

Edward Langley 57a25807af Merge gh/main (e8562f0) into fix/web-panel-clicks
PR #61 landed while this branch was open. It deleted
`harness/tests/pointer.spec.js` and `harness/tests/widgets.spec.js`, split
`web/app.js` into app/shell/serial, and added a Node suite under `web/tests/`.
Two conflicts, both resolved deliberately rather than by reflex.

**`harness/tests/pointer.spec.js` — modify/delete, resolved as DELETE.** The
habitual "keep both sides" would resurrect a file #61 removed on purpose.
`contract.spec.js` states its own scope as the RenderModel→DOM boundary and
the pointer's half of the JS→wasm one, so that is where these assertions
belong. Merged in, rather than restored:

- the category sidebar is open at launch and `C` still hides it;
- a first tile click selects and does NOT touch the document, a second cycles;
- the view row and formula row clicks improvise-iioi added, which
  `contract.spec.js` had no entry for at all.

**`context/test-evidence/clients.md` — content, resolved as BOTH SIDES.** The
two `pointer.spec.js` subsections are retargeted at the file that exists, with
a note saying why restoring the deleted one would have been wrong. The two
older `#### … the file's own scope` sections keep their history and gain a
forward pointer, because a reader following them would otherwise hunt for a
file that is gone.

**`web/tests/bundle/wasm_surface.test.js` now names `click_formula` and
`click_view`.** That test is an exact `deepEqual` over the page's `client.*`
calls and its comment says a new call "has to come and say so". It did: it
failed on the merge, which is the mechanism working. It could not have been
satisfied earlier — it did not exist when this branch was cut.

Two review findings fixed on top, neither a live bug:

- **The tile guarantee was overclaimed.** `T` leaves `tile_cat_idx` at 0, so a
  click on the LEFTMOST tile cycles on the first gesture. "A click never
  mutates on its own" and "a second click cycles" are both false against that
  probe. The behaviour is right — a click does what `Enter` does there — so the
  prose now states the implemented rule, and
  `t_then_a_click_on_the_leftmost_tile_cycles_it_immediately` names the case
  and asserts the neighbouring tile answers the same gesture differently.
- **`switch_view_at`'s `Option` had no guard on the keyboard side.** Removing
  the `unwrap_or_default()` makes `Enter` in an empty view panel `Upstream` —
  gotcha 47's black hole — and passed the whole workspace. That would make
  membership of the host-needed list state-dependent, which is the one property
  that list denies. One test closes it.

Gates on the merged tree: 1391 Rust tests, 26 + 3 Node tests, 16 Playwright
(3 WebKit OPFS skips), clippy -D warnings, fmt, harness fmt + wasm32 clippy,
eight wasm crates, comment runs and 513 evidence entries clean. `.beads/`
matches gh/main exactly.

Edward Langley 36ade35240 test(web): a Node suite between the boundaries, Playwright only on them
E2E and integration tests are rare and pin boundary contracts; unit tests
assume those contracts and test between them (user, 2026-09-20). The browser
half has four boundaries — RenderModel→DOM, JS→wasm, page→peer, worker→OPFS —
and everything between them needed no browser at all.

`web/shell.js` and `web/serial.js` are the seams: pure modules that RETURN A
DESCRIPTION rather than take a DOM double. `gridPlan(model)` answers every
question `gridTable` used to answer while creating elements — the data-row
index across group headers, what a group header spans, a null group label
against an empty one, an empty edit buffer against no editor — and `app.js` is
now a loop that builds elements from it. Painting stays untested by Node; what
to paint stopped being untestable.

26 tests in `node --test web/tests` (0.12s, no Rust toolchain, no wasm bundle,
no npm install), plus three in `web/tests/bundle/` that read the generated
.d.ts and so run in the browser job. Playwright goes from 29 tests/36.9s to
16/15.5s on one machine: `widgets.spec.js` and `pointer.spec.js` are gone,
replaced by `contract.spec.js`, which asserts that EVERY field the render model
projects reaches the screen. The four widgets those specs were written for were
one failure at one boundary, and one assertion catches the fifth.

It caught it: `doc_name`/`doc_dirty`/`doc_stored_as` reach no element
(improvise-5jna, already open). They are named in `UNPAINTED` with the ticket,
so the list is the debt written down rather than an exemption.

Thirteen faults injected into the Node suite and eight into the served page,
each watched to fail the test it names; the last of those was strengthened
because the first version passed. `web/assemble.sh` grew an import-completeness
guard whose own first version was blind to the multi-line import it exists for.

Edward Langley d7386b4308 fix(web): the view and formula panels are clickable too (improvise-iioi)
`categoryList` got a click listener and its two siblings did not, so `Click`
had three variants and no ViewRow/FormulaRow. Demonstrated in Chromium:
Shift-V, click a row, nothing changes — mode, row list, active marker and
panel cursor all byte-identical.

This is the one a user hits first, and shipping the cure for one panel and not
the other two REPRODUCES THE ORIGINAL REPORT: someone who has just learned
category rows are clickable clicks a view row and reads the silence as broken,
which is literally what "I can't expand categories" meant (improvise-7ybz).

Both follow the existing rule — go there, then do what Enter does there — and
the two panels answer it differently, which is the rule applying rather than
one of them being half done:

  - A VIEW row focuses, moves the cursor and switches, because ViewPanel binds
    Enter to switch-view-at-cursor. It ends in Normal; the panel stays open.
  - A FORMULA row focuses and moves the cursor and NOTHING ELSE, because
    FormulaPanel binds no Enter at all. Opening the editor on a click would be
    an activation invented for the pointer that the keyboard does not have.

The trap is the same one the category click had: the activation must resolve
against the row CLICKED, never the panel cursor, because the SetPanelCursor
ahead of it is not folded yet. Injected and run — reading the cursor instead
gives SwitchView("Default") beside SetPanelCursor { cursor: 1 }, so the cursor
lands on Plan while the document switches to Default. Silent, and wrong in the
half nobody watches. The fixture holds two views and clicks the second for
exactly that reason.

Browser tests proved against the bundle built immediately before the fix: both
new ones fail there while the six existing pointer tests pass.

Also folds in the harness port fix: reuseExistingServer is now opt-in via
IMPROVISE_HARNESS_REUSE rather than on by default. A default-on reuse adopts a
server another checkout left on the port and tests THAT tree — which fired in
both directions in one session, including a false PASS. A path-hash default was
rejected because it still silently reuses when two agents share a worktree
path; an explicit opt-in cannot. CI never reused, so it is unaffected.

Edward Langley 955c30a864 fix(web): land the review findings main is missing
Repair-forward for the accidental push at 959f249, which put the PRE-review
version of the browser-widget work onto main. The three defects review found
are all in the version main currently carries; this is the delta that
supersedes it.

1. `categoryList` did not call `indicator()`. It inlined U+25B8/U+25BE, the
   SMALL triangles, where `indicator()` — the page's declared ONE spelling —
   the page's own grid group headers, and src/ui/category_panel.rs all draw
   U+25B6/U+25BC. The browser's category panel disagreed with the TUI's and
   with its own grid, inside the file whose comment says "only this spelling
   is the page's".

2. Two specs pinned the divergent pair, so the obvious cure would have failed
   tests that shipped with the feature. widgets.spec.js AND pointer.spec.js —
   the latter written on a different branch, which had grown the same wrong
   assertions independently. Three files converging on a spelling nothing
   compares is design-principles §5's predicted failure, observed. Proved
   discriminating by running the corrected specs against the pre-fix bundle,
   where they fail with `Received string: "▸ Product (4) R"`.

   The pointer.spec.js line is in this PR and not a later one because main
   already carries that file: without it this change leaves CI red. It is one
   assertion corrected by the same rule as its sibling, not feature work.

3. `el.tiles.hidden` was a no-op, removed with its false comment. `#tiles`
   declares `display: flex`, an author-origin rule that beats the UA sheet's
   `[hidden] { display: none }`, so the guard never hid anything. Worth
   knowing before restoring it: `#tiles` being ALWAYS laid out is why its
   height never changes and it stays out of the ResizeObserver feedback path.

Also `playwright.config.js` takes IMPROVISE_HARNESS_PORT (default 8099, so CI
is unchanged). The hard-coded port plus `reuseExistingServer` let Playwright
silently ADOPT a server left by another worktree and test THAT tree. It fired
in both directions in one session: a false negative (a fix reported absent)
and — the dangerous half — a false POSITIVE, 5 passed against a tree verified
to contain no #tiles at all. A failure sends you looking; a false pass prompts
nobody.

The evidence prose records all of it, plus the ResizeObserver acyclicity proof
that retires "argued, not tested" there: frameCost.cols is row header LEVELS
(independent of projected rows) and frameCost.rows derives from the column
window, so cols -> rows and nothing depends on rows. No cycle to oscillate.

Gates: 1359 Rust tests, rustfmt, comment-run and evidence linters, 21/21
Chromium harness (on a private port, so not another checkout's tree).

Edward Langley 959f249c4b feat(web): a click is resolved in Rust, and the sidebar obeys its flag
The user's rulings on the two beads PR #55 filed.

improvise-7ybz: the browser was keyboard-only by omission. Nothing outside an
editable grid cell had a click listener, so clicking the collapse triangle on a
category did nothing — which is what "I can't expand categories" meant, since
the keyboard path worked all along.

`improvise_protocol::resolve::click` now answers all three widgets under one
rule: **go there, then do what Enter does there.** A category row focuses the
panel, moves its cursor and activates (expand on a header, filter on an item);
a tile selects and cycles its axis; a cell moves the selection, with the page's
inline editor as the pointer's `i`. One rule rather than three inventions, and
it is the keyboard's own definition rather than a second one — `cat_tree_entry`,
`toggle_cat_expand`, `filter_to_item` and `tile_axis` each gained an `_at` twin
and the cursor-reading form is now a one-line call of it.

It lives in the protocol crate, not the wasm client, for the `flatten_cat_tree`
reason: a third front end must call this, not derive it. `Client::click_category`
/ `click_tile` / `click_cell` are thin wasm-bindgen wrappers that fold and
serialize exactly as `key` does, so `app.js` still composes no `Command`.

The subtlety worth knowing: a click's three intents are resolved in one pure
call, so the activation must be asked about the row *clicked*, never about
`cat_panel_cursor` — the `SetPanelCursor` ahead of it has not been folded yet.
Injecting that exact fault turns `ToggleCatExpand("Product")` into
`ToggleCatExpand("Region")`, which is the silent half and is now pinned.

improvise-wsaw: `RenderModel::category_panel_open` existed from the start and
`app.js` never read it, so the sidebar was drawn unconditionally and `C` moved
only the mode label. It now hides on load and toggles with `C`, matching
`src/draw.rs:322` and the two panels PR #55 added. A first-time visitor sees
one fewer thing; the user chose front-end consistency, and the grid is still
populated.

Tests: harness/tests/pointer.spec.js, six assertions, **all six proved by
running them against the bundle built immediately before this commit** — where
the sidebar is wrongly visible and every click lands on an element with no
listener. Plus four Rust tests on the resolver, one of them proved by the
injection above.

Note this branch is based on gh/main but MERGES fix/web-ui-correctness (PR #55):
click_tile needs a tile bar to click, and that is #55's. Rebase or re-merge once
#55 lands.

Edward Langley 6f9cd6cad5 fix(web): the tile bar, the view panel and the formula panel are drawn
A user reported "I can't expand categories, and the Tile + View UIs don't
work". Driving the assembled site under Chromium separates three different
answers, and the useful finding is that two of the three were missing only
their last layer.

Category expand already worked, by keyboard: Shift-C, j, Enter folds
Command::ToggleCatExpand client-side and the items appear. What does not work
is the mouse, because categoryList builds plain <li>s with no listener — the
whole page's pointer model, filed as improvise-7ybz rather than guessed at.

The tile bar and the view panel had the cache, the keymap, the resolver and
the host round trip, and no DOM. Before this commit the browser held five
TileBarCache entries and both ViewListCache views; Shift-T entered TileSelect,
ArrowRight moved tile_cat_idx, and r/c/p really did move a category between
axes — with nothing on screen to aim them at. RenderModel had no field for
either and index.html had no element. The formula panel was the third of
Panel::ALL in the same state, and is fixed by the same mechanism rather than
left arbitrarily behind.

So RenderModel grows `tiles`, `views` and `formulas`. The two panels follow
the help overlay's rule — an empty list is what says a widget is closed, so
the page asks no question about the mode — and the tile bar is drawn always
with only its *selection* conditional, exactly as src/ui/tile_bar.rs makes it
conditional on AppMode::TileSelect.

The view panel's axis line would have been a second derivation, so
ViewContent::axis_summary moves to improvise_protocol::viewmodel as
view_axis_summary and the TUI's own panel now calls it: one home, both ends
(design-principles §5).

Tests: harness/tests/widgets.spec.js, proved by running it against the
unfixed bundle, where the four new assertions fail on zero elements and the
category one passes — the control that says the keyboard really is being
driven. Two draft assertions were wrong and both corrections are recorded:
Axis::short_label is three columns ("Quarter Pag"), and switching views
leaves the panel open as the TUI does.

Not fixed, filed: improvise-7ybz (no pointer affordance anywhere on the page),
improvise-wsaw (app.js has never read category_panel_open, so #categories is
drawn unconditionally and is now inconsistent with the two panels added here).

Edward Langley 414d02c4a6 feat(protocol): one home for UI strings (improvise-x7sw, ktv1, k099)
Three tickets asked one question — where do UI strings live relative to a
serde wire enum — and answering it three times is the disease this unit exists
to cure. One answer, in `improvise-protocol/src/help.rs`:

**A UI string is keyed by a command name, never by a key, and never hangs off
the enum that crosses the wire.** `AppMode::label`/`hint_text` are gone;
`help::mode_label`/`help::hint_line` replace them, so the enum a client
deserializes carries no English at all (improvise-k099). **And wherever a
string names a key, the key is looked up rather than spelled**:
`Hint { keys, command, caption }` takes `keys` off `Keymaps::default_keymaps()`,
`command` is the semantic value a localized front end keys off, and `caption`
is the default English — the `AxisColor`/`axis_fg` shape.

- **improvise-x7sw**: `help::which_key` is the which-key popup's rows, keys and
  captions together. The client already holds the keymaps, which is the answer
  the ticket preferred, so `ViewState::transient_prefix` stays an address.
- **improvise-ktv1**: the help pages are data — `help::pages()` — with every
  key row derived. `src/ui/help.rs` keeps its ratatui styles and loses ~310
  lines of content; `web/app.js` paints rows it does not author, and
  `harness/tests/shell.spec.js` asserts that `?` really draws them.

**What this deletes is the measure of it.**
`every_hint_key_resolves_in_its_mode` and its 60-line hint tokenizer are gone:
they existed to hold a hand-written string honest against the keymap, and the
string is derived now, so the property is true by construction
(`doctrine(a_consolidation_that_keeps_its_compatibility_test_is_unfinished)`).
`Keymap::binding_hints` goes with them — `which_key` is the one walker, and the
binding dump reads it. What replaced the test checks the *other* direction, a
mode advertising a command nothing binds, which was never checkable before.

Two defects the derivation exposed, both fixed here: `key_label` dropped
modifiers, so Ctrl-arrows read as bare arrows, and `Char(' ')` printed a literal
space instead of `Space`.

**What is deliberately not derived**, and says so: the import wizard's keys
(its whole keymap is one `Any` binding into `HandleWizardKey`, which decides
per step inside the command — a real hole, left visible), `gg`/`yy`/`ZZ` and
the ex-commands (`HelpLine::Literal`), and the captions, which no test can
judge. `context/code/protocol.md` §8 has the argument.

Cost, stated: the hints changed shape. They are longer, they name arrow keys
beside `hjkl`, and two sub-lists on the Panels page lost their visual indent.
That is the price of the keys being true.

Evidence: 1321 tests pass, and the 7 Chromium shell tests pass against the
assembled site. Two faults were injected into the help overlay — dropping the
`paintHelp` call, and removing the `mode != Help` guard so it is never hidden —
and each fails the new spec.

Edward Langley 3d3bec43e0 docs(web,harness): cap the JavaScript and the browser harness
web/app.js's transport/watchdog/frameCost arguments and web/worker.js's two
ordering rules — including the one nothing here can test, that an `async`
message listener does not serialize — are now prose in context/code/clients.md.
The harness keeps its own section: why a worker, why a report, the engine
coverage and what `wipe` deliberately cannot clear.

harness/tests/*.spec.js's comments were the record of what each assertion
proves; they are in context/test-evidence/clients.md under the exact test
titles, including the `test.fail` measurement that could NOT become a CI guard
because its trigger is the host's network stack, and the closed-invalid
improvise-xps8 report that a simulated fix appeared to confirm.

ws-server/src/main.rs's ```text fence was prose claiming the doctest
exemption, not a runnable doctest; the synopsis is now two lines and the full
form is in the prose file. No fences remain in this unit.

Verified: node --check on every JS file touched; the non-comment diff for both
'*.rs' and '*.js' is empty.

Edward Langley 22360d46e5 Merge main into wave/a-grid-frame
Two conflicts, both expected.

**`invalidate_relabelled` (improvise-hkt6, WU-K).** Both sides kept: the
signature and the item-tuple comparison are this branch's — `old` is an
`AxisFrame` now, and a group header appearing or collapsing must not blank
cells it did not rename — and the totals blanking and its whole argument are
main's. `grid_updates` still diffs the totals against the *framed* mirror,
which is what makes a renamed column whose total did not change send one;
`a_relabelled_column_drops_its_total`,
`a_relabelled_row_leaves_the_totals_alone` and
`a_renamed_column_whose_total_did_not_change_still_gets_its_total_back` all
pass against the new frame.

**`lib.rs`'s composition test.** Main's deletion taken: 18189c1 moved
`client_showing`, `published_basis` and
`a_client_composes_a_write_from_the_id_it_was_given` into `socket.rs` when
it consolidated `set_cell_at` and `typed`.

Main's new `GridUpdate::RowLabels`/`ColLabels` call sites are converted, and
five doc comments naming the retired spellings with them — a fact stated in
several places is a grep, not an edit.

1327 passing, 0 failing. clippy/fmt clean, wasm gate clean, both bundles
build.

Edward Langley d9a4790d4d fix: an empty group name is a name; and stop reserving the group rows
Copilot's seventh pass. One applied, one applied by *withdrawing* the
previous fix rather than patching it again.

**`RenderColGroup::label` is an `Option<String>`.** `""` was the
ungrouped-run sentinel, but an empty string is a legal group *name* —
`Category::add_item_in_group` accepts one and the TUI draws its indicator
like any other — so a real group serialized identically to no group at all
and the page dropped its indicator on a truthiness test. `None` is now the
run in no group, and `app.js` checks for null.

**Inline group rows are no longer reserved in the viewport, and the reason
is written down.** Copilot was right twice in a row here, about two
opposite mistakes. Counting the current group rows is a feedback loop (a
smaller window crosses fewer groups and asks for a larger one). Keeping the
maximum is a ratchet: one group header per data row stores an oversized cost
on the first oversized projection and clamps the grid to a single row
*permanently*. Both were on this branch.

The third option — invent a density heuristic — is the one this repo warns
against, in a file no test here can execute. So the reservation keeps only
what depends on the axes and not on the window: the header lines, the group
line, the row-header width. The residue is an over-request bounded by the
groups in view, and the off-screen-selection gap it leaves is neither new
nor specific to groups — nothing in this page calls `scrollIntoView` at all.
Filed rather than guessed at.

Edward Langley fb2122f23d fix: commit the high-water mark unconditionally, coalesce groups by name
Copilot's sixth pass; both correct, and the second is a front-end
divergence of exactly the kind this PR exists to remove.

**The high-water mark was committed only when the extent changed.** A group
count that rose while a header line fell by the same amount left `next.rows`
equal, so the larger count was discarded and a later repaint under-reserved
— the DOM-scroll bug again. `frameCost` is now assigned unconditionally and
only `sendViewport()` is gated on the extent moving.

**`col_groups` started a new run when `collapsed` differed; the TUI does
not.** `src/ui/grid.rs` breaks a run on `group_name != prev_group` alone.
Collapse is category-scoped, so two adjacent groups from different
categories may legally share a name and differ in it, and the browser would
then have drawn a second indicator the TUI suppresses. Coalesced by name,
with the run taking its first group's indicator, as the TUI paints it.
`column_groups_coalesce_by_name_as_the_tui_does` pins it; restoring the
`(name, collapsed)` key splits the span and fails.

Edward Langley ff351ee014 fix: reserve the group rows monotonically, and bulk the ancestry compare
Copilot's fifth pass; both correct.

**Inline group rows are back in `frameCost`.** Omitting them was the same
failure I had just fixed for the header block: they take real table height,
so any viewport containing one asked for more data rows than `#grid` could
show, and the DOM takes its own scroll position while the client's cursor
offsets come from the larger window. Copilot's own suggestion answers the
oscillation objection — the reservation is a **high-water mark**, which
cannot oscillate because it only rises, and it rises in the safe direction:
over-reserving leaves blank space, under-reserving is the bug. It resets on
a view change so one dense document does not make every later view
pessimistic.

**`same_prefix` is replaced by `AxisFrame::shares_ancestry`**, the bulk
form, for the same reason `header_labels` and `groups` are bulk: called per
(column, level) it scanned the frame twice apiece, quadratic in the columns
drawn and growing with the horizontal offset, where the pre-anr9 widget's
materialized lookup was O(1).

`same_prefix` is **deleted** rather than kept beside it — two answers to one
question is the thing this PR exists to remove, and keeping a per-position
form that nothing calls would be an invitation. `shared_ancestry_widens_as_
the_level_rises` checks both arms, because a version comparing whole tuples
passes the leaf arm and a version comparing only the outermost label passes
the outer one.

Edward Langley 9aef855d5f fix: the viewport reserves the real frame, and a fallback width counts cells
Copilot's two "previously missed" findings, both correct.

**`extent()` reserved one header row and one header column.** That was right
until this PR: the column header is now one line per level plus an optional
group line, and the row header is `row_levels` columns wide. Announcing a
viewport the page cannot show matters because `#grid` has `overflow: auto` —
the DOM would take a scroll position of its own while the client's cursor
offsets were computed from the larger window, putting the selected cell off
screen. The cost is measured off the painted model and re-announced when it
changes.

Inline group *rows* are deliberately **not** counted, although they occupy
space: they depend on how many rows the window asked for, so counting them
would be a feedback loop — a smaller window crosses fewer groups and asks
for a larger one. The three facts that are counted depend only on the axes.
The residue is a little over-fetch, the direction `ROW_PX` already errs in.

**`fit_to_labels` measured its fallback width in Unicode scalars.** It is
documented as the width a column is drawn at while `ColWidths` catches up,
and the authoritative widths are in display cells, so `日本` came out two
cells wide where it needs four. Now measured with `UnicodeWidthStr`, like
`header_widths` and like the TUI.
`a_column_without_its_width_yet_is_measured_in_display_cells` pins it, and
restoring `chars().count()` fails it with `[2]` against `[4]`.

All four were right; two more were right and are declined on the threads.

**A frame's pre-window headers were O(offset).** `axis_frame` accumulated
every group header above the window and flushed the run at the first
in-window item, so a deep scroll past many groups serialized headers that
`body_from` discards on arrival. Only the *nearest* one can ever be answered
with, so only that one is kept.

**`web/app.js` captured the row counter, not its value.** `r` is one binding
shared by every click-handler closure, so after the loop every editable cell
would have called `edit` with the last data row. The group-aware counter was
right; capturing it was not. It is a bug this PR introduced — the old code
took `r` as a `forEach` parameter, which is per-call.

**The agreement suite drove one arm.** It only read `rows`, and its fixture
had no grouped column axis, so `col_levels` and `col_groups` could regress
behind a green suite
(`doctrine(one_arm_of_a_symmetric_rule_is_evidence_about_that_arm_only)`).
The fixture now groups two of three months under `Q1` and leaves `Sep`
outside, with `_Measure` giving a second column level, and
`the_two_front_ends_draw_the_same_column_header` checks the levels against
the painted header lines and the spans against the column count. One span
per column, and a dropped level suppression, were each injected and watched
to fail.

**The group branch did not compare the label.** It asserted only that the
painted text began with an indicator, so any group name passed. It now
compares the whole painted header against the browser's glyph-plus-label.

The column test also *demonstrated* the finding this PR declines: `Q1` spans
all six columns including the two under the ungrouped `Sep`, because
`expand_category` emits a header on entering a group and no boundary on
leaving one. That is `GridLayout`'s rule and the TUI paints the same span.
It is asserted as it is, with the defect and the corrected expectation
written next to it, and stated on `AxisFrame::group_of`.

Edward Langley 301a74821a feat(protocol): the grid's frame on the wire, as AxisFrame
`GridCache::row_labels`/`col_labels` were `Vec<String>` built by
`GridLayout::row_label`, which slash-joins a multi-level tuple — the exact
rendering `two_row_categories_produce_cross_product_labels` asserts must not
appear. So the protocol carried a form of the labels the TUI itself
considered wrong, and `improvise-wasm-client/src/render.rs` drew precisely
that form: the browser showed `Food/Alice` where the TUI showed two header
columns, with no groups and no collapse indicators (gotcha 44).

Both fields become one `AxisFrame` per axis, carrying the five facts gotcha
44 enumerates: the categories (hence the header levels), the label *tuples*
and the inline group headers, the group a position sits in, and each group's
collapse state. `record_col` stays off — session-local, keys pending drill
edits, correct to keep off.

It is one type and not a `row_levels` beside `row_labels`, because two
answers to "what are the labels" is the disease (improvise-edp). The rules
that used to be written twice are methods on it and are now called from both
front ends: `shows_level` (repeat suppression, improvise-jjx's fix),
`group_of`, `body_from`, and `header_widths` — the row-header width rule,
which existed twice already, inline in `render_grid` and again in
`viewport::compute_row_header_width` (improvise-1125).

`GridWidget` loses its `&View`: nothing in it reads the view any more.

Evidence. `the_whole_frame_is_unchanged` — the exact-buffer characterization
over a grid with row groups, column groups, a page axis, multi-level headers
and a total row — passes byte for byte, so the TUI is unchanged. The new
`tests/grid_frame_agreement.rs` drives the widget into a ratatui buffer and
the browser client through a `Snapshot` of the *same* cache, and compares
what each draws; re-introducing the slash-join on either side was injected
and watched to fail before the test was kept.

`tests/web_demo_model.rs::the_web_demo_has_one_category_per_visible_axis` is
deleted: it guarded the gap this closes, and a consolidation that keeps its
compatibility test is unfinished.

Edward Langley 16471d7def docs: the proxy is the open door, not the closed one (Copilot review)
Both Copilot findings on PR #21 applied. The first is the serious one and it
is a defect in documentation this PR itself introduced.

`improvise-ws-server` has NO authentication -- a deliberate MVP limit its own
module doc states -- so anyone who can open a socket to it can rewrite every
document it serves. Loopback binding is the only thing standing between that
and the network, and terminating TLS in front of it REMOVES EXACTLY THAT
PROTECTION. The previous text not only omitted the warning, it actively
reassured the reader: the `--bind` note explained that keeping loopback means
the port "is not reachable from anywhere else", which is true of the port and
false of the deployment, because the proxy is public. TLS buys
confidentiality, not access control, and the two read alike in a recipe.

So the warning leads the section, the Caddyfile carries `basic_auth` with a
comment saying it is not optional, the `--bind` note now says what it does and
does not buy, and the tunnel line says cloudflared/ngrok print public URLs and
authenticate nothing by default -- an unguessable URL is not a control.

Second finding: the watchdog comment was ambiguous in a file whose only
verification is reading, which makes an ambiguous comment a real defect. It
said a drop before the first frame "leaves the watchdog armed", meaning the
state on ARRIVAL; it reads as a claim about the state after the call, which is
the opposite of what `setShellFailure` does. Reworded to say the call disarms,
why the opened path needs that (the watchdog is armed only after
`transport.ready` resolves, i.e. on `open`), and that the never-opened path
makes it a no-op.

No open ticket covers server auth -- improvise-j31x is the multi-document
registry and is closed -- so nothing is cited here and one is proposed in the
hand-back rather than an ID invented.

1184 passing, unchanged. `node --check` clean.

Edward Langley d3fe4aa041 fix(web): a socket that never opened did not disconnect
The `close` listener wrote "disconnected" unconditionally, so a connection
that failed loudly -- the `error` listener having already written "cannot
reach <url> -- is improvise-ws-server running?" -- was immediately followed
by a close event replacing it with the vaguer of the two facts. The user saw
the least informative thing that happened.

This is the watchdog bug's family and deliberately NOT its fix. The watchdog
is for silence only, so it is disarmed; suppressing `close` outright would
hide a genuine mid-session disconnect, which is the one thing that listener
is really for. So the two cases are split rather than one being guarded.

A CORRECTION TO THE TICKET'S SUGGESTED MECHANISM: it proposed reading
`readyState` at close time, and that cannot work. `readyState` is already
CLOSED by the time a close listener runs, whichever happened, and the
CloseEvent cannot separate them either -- a refused connection and a
mid-session network drop are both code 1006 with `wasClean: false`. The only
discriminator is whether `open` ever fired, which the page must remember for
itself. Hence the `opened` flag.

Both arms go through `setShellFailure`, because a drop before the first frame
leaves the watchdog armed and "disconnected" is more precise than the guess
it would fire 8s later.

The header comment stating the `#status` vocabulary is updated in the same
commit: that fact is stated twice, and gotcha 48 says changing it is a grep.

VERIFICATION IS READING, and that is the whole budget. There is no browser
and no headless DOM here, so this is `node --check` (proved discriminating by
appending an unbalanced paren and watching it fail) plus confirmation that
every call app.js makes is in the generated .d.ts at the right arity:
on_frame/1, on_key_event/5, render_model/0, set_viewport/2, typed_cell/3.
Both wasm bundles still build. The listener itself has never been executed.

Edward Langley cf086f8c04 Merge: one keymap table, shared by the TUI and the browser (improvise-bpq2 successor)
The browser's hand-written key classifier was a second spelling of
default_keymaps(), held honest by a lockstep test over a hand-written list --
doctrine(a_consolidation_that_keeps_its_compatibility_test_is_unfinished)'s
exact shape. So the TABLE moved to improvise-protocol and improvise-command
keeps only what needs a CmdRegistry. Evidence is binding_dump_diff, not the
suite: 4021 resolved (mode, key, modifier) lookups over sixteen modes,
BYTE-IDENTICAL, with the dump kept as an opt-in test and proved
discriminating by renaming one binding.

The boundary that did NOT move is the better one: key -> intent is shared,
intent -> Command stays client-side, and the named list of what still needs
the host is now a list of COMMAND NAMES rather than keys -- so a rebinding no
longer invalidates it.

AND A LOCKSTEP TEST FOUND A LIVE BUG, BY A COMMA. CellDisplay::text has been
through format_f64; App::display_value_at_cursor has not. Seeding an editor
from the drawn text and committing turns a stored 1200 into the string
'1,200' -- display rounding fed back into the model, which design-principles
4 forbids outright. CellDisplay::edit_text puts the unformatted value on the
wire, and it repairs web/app.js's click-to-edit, which had been seeding its
input from td.textContent since it was written. That bug is on the live page
today for any value with a thousands separator.

Edward Langley 59cc6720b5 feat(browser): the page draws the mode's hint instead of spelling keys
`?` now enters `Help` — the keymap says so and this client resolves
`enter-mode` — but the page has no help overlay: `src/ui/help.rs` is 600
lines of ratatui and nothing shared carries its content. Landing the key
without this would have swapped the mode label to HELP over an unchanged
grid, which looks broken rather than unfinished.

`AppMode::hint_text()` already exists in the protocol crate and is what the
TUI's footer draws, so `RenderModel::hint` relays it. Every mode now states
its own keys in the browser, the page spells none of them, and the modes
this client can enter but not yet draw say what they are. A real help
overlay needs the content moved into the shared layer first, which is the
same move design-principles §5 asks for and is filed rather than faked.

`web/*` is unrun; `node --check` only.

Edward Langley e13635638c feat(browser): the browser reads the TUI's keymap, and i opens an editor
Follows the keymap move. `keys.rs`'s hand-written per-mode classifier is
gone; `resolve` now looks the key up in `Keymaps::default_keymaps()` — the
same table the terminal dispatches against — and what is left here is the
narrow residue: turning a bound command NAME into a `Command`, for the
subset a client holding no `CmdContext` can compose.

That is a better seam than the one it replaces. The drift risk was "which
key does what": 170 bindings, no direct test, invisible when wrong. It is
now "which command names can I execute", which is a list — and
`the_normal_mode_keys_that_still_need_the_host_are_these` becomes
`the_command_names_that_still_need_the_host_are_these` to match, so a
rebinding no longer invalidates it and a new binding for an
already-executable command reaches the browser with no change here.

Several gaps close by sharing rather than by code. Search-mode typing
resolves locally for the first time (the table binds `append-char
["search"]`, and "search" is `ViewState::search_query` — gotcha 11's pair is
mirrored and nothing else is). `Esc` resolves as the `Binding::Sequence` it
is, all-or-nothing. A modified character in a text-entry mode now types,
because the `AnyChar` fallback being reached for is the host's own — the old
"unmodified only" rule was a hedge against a table this client no longer
guesses at. And a key nothing binds is `Ignored` rather than forwarded into
`Host::handle`'s empty vec.

What is newly executable, and so what a user gets back: `edit-or-drill`
(`i`/`a`), `commit-cell-edit`/`commit-and-advance-right` (Enter/Tab in
`Editing`), `enter-mode` (`?`/F1, Esc), `enter-tile-select` (`T`),
`toggle-panel-visibility` (Ctrl-F/C/V), `toggle-panel-and-focus` (F/C/V) and
`transpose` (`t`) — four of which an independent browser smoke test had just
found inert.

`i` on an **aggregate** does not go upstream. Every upstream key is a black
hole, and a keypress that visibly does nothing is the worst of the three
answers, so it answers with a `SetStatus` naming drill. A view-half command
is folded into the asker's own mirror and broadcast to nobody, so that
message reaches this user and no one else.

The write itself is not composed twice: the keyboard commit calls
`socket::typed_cell_command`, the function click-to-edit already used, so
Enter and a click cannot disagree about what `""` or `"42"` means.

## `CellDisplay::edit_text`, found by lockstep

`tests/lockstep.rs` drove `i` through the host and the client over one grid
and they disagreed by a comma: the host seeds its edit buffer from
`App::display_value_at_cursor` (the stored `1200`) while the client had only
`CellDisplay::text`, which has been through `format_f64` (`1,200`).
Committing that stores the *string* `"1,200"` and the number is gone —
display rounding fed back into the model, which design-principles §4 forbids
outright.

So the projection is enriched rather than the client taught to un-format:
`CellDisplay::edit_text` is `display_value_of` on the wire, and it repairs
**click**-to-edit too, which had been seeding its `<input>` from the drawn
text all along.

## Making the edit visible

`RenderModel::editing` carries what the user has typed so far, or `None`
when no edit is open. The decision — is this an editing mode, and which
buffer does it type into — is made in Rust; the page draws the string in the
selected cell. Without it the mode indicator would read INSERT while every
keystroke vanished into a buffer nobody painted.

`web/app.js` and `web/style.css` change accordingly, and are **unrun**: there
is no browser here (gotcha 48). `node --check` only.

Edward Langley 94d26d8705 fix(web): default the socket to TLS, and cache-bust the deployed bundles
?ws= now takes a host:port and the page supplies the scheme: wss:// when it
is itself served over https, ws:// when over http. An explicit ws:// from an
https page is UPGRADED rather than passed through, because an https origin
refuses it as mixed content -- so passing it through can only produce a
failure that reads like 'the server is not running'. The scheme is not the
caller's to get wrong.

And the deploy now stamps ?v=<sha> onto both bundles. Pages serves everything
max-age=600 and the wasm-pack filenames carry no content hash, so for ten
minutes after a deploy a returning visitor runs the PREVIOUS build -- which
made a shipped fix look like it had not shipped, twice, during the first real
browser debugging session.

BOTH halves are stamped, because a fresh glue file does not pull a fresh
.wasm: the glue locates it with new URL('..._bg.wasm', import.meta.url), and
a URL built against a base does not inherit the base's query. Stamping only
the import specifier would refresh the wrapper and keep the stale binary --
exactly the failure this is here to end.

Edward Langley bf02472d89 fix(web): an async message listener does not serialize, and a watchdog must not overwrite a real error
Three findings from the review-only PR #13, which put 28 already-merged
commits in front of a second reader, plus two comments that had gone false.

worker.js — `self.onmessage` was `async` and awaited `handle()`, which awaits
`server.flush()`. An async listener does NOT serialize: the event loop may
start the next `message` while an earlier one is suspended at an await, so two
`on_message`/`flush` pairs interleave and a later frame's replies can be posted
before an earlier frame's. That breaks the one rule the file names first — a
`GridUpdate::Cells` that overtakes its labels is DROPPED by the client's fold,
not replayed (gotcha 33) — and the pre-start `pending` drain had the same race
twice over, since `server` was assigned before the loop that drained it, so a
message arriving mid-drain overtook the frames it was queued behind. Every
frame is now chained onto one tail promise, which also makes "arrived before
start() finished" an ordinary case of the same rule instead of a second path.

app.js — the handshake watchdog fires 8s after the handshake and writes "the
peer did not answer". A peer that failed LOUDLY has already said something more
precise (worker `error`, `messageerror`, socket `error`), and the watchdog then
overwrote it with the vaguer guess. Those three paths now disarm it:
`setShellFailure` clears the timer rather than merely pre-empting it. The
watchdog is for silence only, which is what it was always for.

README — the "In the browser" section still said the deployed page needs a
server and that the in-page worker "is not built yet". Both landed in the same
unreviewed batch (improvise-9x6, improvise-djm), so the README described the
published site as a client with nowhere to connect while index.html described
it correctly. Rewritten, and it now states the caveat the commits state: no
line of that JavaScript has ever run.

Two comments that had gone false with it, and for the same reason — a follow-up
commit updated one copy and not the others. `web/app.js`'s keyboard note said
key resolution was "text entry, and nothing else" and that upstream keys would
work "until improvise-bpq2 lands"; bpq2 landed, moved the grid, panel and tile
cursors to the client, and settled that the host must not know the keymap.
`Host::handle`'s `ClientFrame::Key` arm said the same thing; 43422d4 corrected
the worker's copy of that argument and missed this one.

NOT VERIFIED, and it cannot be here: there is no browser and no headless DOM in
this environment, so neither JavaScript change has been executed. Both are
argued rather than tested, which is why each carries its argument in the file.
`node --check` passes on both, the wasm bundles build, and the Rust gates are
unchanged: 1172 passing / 0 failed, clippy clean, fmt clean, actionlint clean,
wasm32 clean for all seven bundle crates.

Declined from the same review, with the reason on the thread: `Host::commands`
can apply a batch's earlier commands before rejecting a later one. The finding
is correct, the hole is real, and it is already stated on `ClientFrame::Commands`
and in `Host::commands` — closing it means the basis check moving from the
command to the batch, which is a design change with ADR 001 consequences and
not a patch to land beside three small ones.

Edward Langley 145d76e7da fix(web): the page records its window, or every cursor key vanishes
sendViewport called the associated Client.viewport, which builds the
handshake frame without RECORDING the window. A client learns its window
only from what it announced -- row_labels.len() is the window clipped to the
grid, so the two differ exactly at the bottom edge, which is where the scroll
arithmetic matters. Without the record the client cannot clamp, so every
cursor key goes upstream into Host::handle's empty vec and the arrow keys
silently do nothing.

Flagged by the improvise-bpq2 agent as the one line its work depended on and
which it could not make, web/ being another agent's ground.

Edward Langley a550201fae feat(web): the page spawns the worker, opens a demo, and reads a key
Three pieces of the standalone deployment, all in web/.

improvise-djm — app.js picks its peer instead of assuming a socket. The
wasm bundle is the same artifact either way (improvise-xks6), so the
difference is confined to one factory: `?ws=` selects the websocket, its
absence spawns `new Worker('./worker.js?doc=&seed=', {type:'module'})`.
The websocket path is KEPT, because improvise-ws-server is how a
TUI-hosted document is shared and nothing else can reach it; the presence
of the parameter is the whole selection mechanism, since a second knob
naming the same fact is a second thing to get wrong.

improvise-bck — web/demo.improv, built against an assertion rather than
by flipping an axis. examples/demo.improv leaves Customer/Date on None,
so every cell is an Aggregate and nothing is editable. The new demo puts
exactly one category on each visible axis (Product on row, _Measure on
column, Quarter on page) and carries Profit = Revenue - Cost, so a
visitor sees the formula move beside the cell they typed in, with no
keystroke and no scrolling. Two tests hold it: tests/web_demo_model.rs
projects the whole grid through grid_of and asserts every CellId is
Record (ADR 002 — that is what `editable` means), and post_message.rs
drives the shipped bytes through the real seed -> VFS -> open -> Snapshot
chain. The first was proved discriminating by pointing it at
examples/demo.improv, where it names the aggregate at (0,0).

One category per axis is asserted too: GridCache slash-joins a
multi-level tuple (gotcha 44), so a second category on an axis puts that
known gap on the front page.

improvise-hwpi — all four. A keydown listener on window feeds
Client::on_key_event, so the classifier is reachable at last; a frame
that will not fold now writes to #status instead of only the console; the
socket has an error listener, so "not running" no longer reads like
"still connecting"; and close() has a re-entry guard. Plus one the ticket
could not have predicted: a worker whose start() rejects is caught inside
worker.js and fires no `error` on the main thread, so the same silence
was about to be rebuilt in the new path — a first-frame watchdog covers
both deployments, because "the peer never answered" is the one condition
that means the same thing on each.

Verified: cargo test --workspace 1159 passing (1155 + 4), clippy clean,
fmt clean, actionlint clean, ./web/build.sh end to end (345 KB / 123 KB
gzipped client, 1.33 MB / 498 KB gzipped worker), every call present in
the generated .d.ts with the right arity, every relative reference in the
assembled site resolving. NOT verified: there is no browser here. No line
of JavaScript in this commit has ever run.

Edward Langley c72832f542 feat(wasm-client,web): the DOM renderer for the browser grid (improvise-cr3)
The last blocker of improvise-1ey. Mostly assembly: `Client` already had the
fold, the key classifier and `set_cell`, `CellDisplay::id` already said what a
cell is (ADR 002), and `flatten_cat_tree` already owned the category panel's
flattening. What was missing was the three joints between them.

`render.rs` is the one that matters. The DOM half is JavaScript and JavaScript
here is untested, so every question with a *silent* wrong answer is answered
in Rust under test and crosses as decided data: `editable` is a fact about the
`CellId` variant (Record only — an Aggregate is a drill target and `Drill` is
not on the wire yet, and `None` is "no projected cell", not "aggregate"), the
selection is placed by subtracting the scroll offset because `GridCache` is
viewport-indexed while the cursor is not, and the category panel is
`flatten_cat_tree` rather than a second walk of the cache.

`socket.rs` frames what `improvise-ws-server` actually speaks, which is not
what `wire.rs` speaks: it has `Viewport` (the handshake — a snapshot built at
extent zero is an empty grid), it batches `Commands`, and it has no `Key`
variant. The two enums are duplicated because a native crate cannot be a wasm
dependency; `improvise-ws-server` is a dev-dependency so the compatibility is
checked through its own types, and a companion test proves the check is
discriminating on the variant names that would drift.

`web/` is the shell, and it is thin on purpose: four string calls in and out,
no protocol knowledge, no framework.

Gates: 1047 passing (was 1031), clippy and fmt clean, and
`cargo check -p improvise-wasm-client --target wasm32-unknown-unknown` clean.
Verified end to end headlessly — the wasm-pack artifact driven from node over
a real websocket to a real `improvise-ws-server`: 1,200 read, "98765" typed,
"98,765" projected back. The DOM painting itself is unverified; there is no
headless browser here.
