An investigation pass over the client, driven by steering's new shape —
a composer that is always live makes adjacent latent bugs visible.
The event stream now watches for silence: the claw keeps the
connection alive with a comment every fifteen seconds, and three
missed ones abort the fetch and reconnect, so a half-open TCP after a
laptop sleep no longer reads as 'live' forever. A reconnect clears the
attempted-attachment set with the transcript, or an image whose fetch
failed during the outage never retries against the recovered stream.
Saving a token reloads the identity and accounts the 401 froze: the
banner cleared, but the pages stayed empty until a browser reload.
A failed POST retracts its optimistic sent row (and its pending echo,
so a message the claw did take still renders from the stream's echo);
before, a send into an unreachable claw left a phantom row waiting for
a reply that could never come. Drafts are per-session now — the
composer's text belonged to no session, so a draft typed into one
session sent into whichever was selected at Enter. The providers
login form distinguishes a landed login (the roster carries its id)
from a failed one and no longer closes on an unrelated state refresh.
Two cost fixes that read as jank on long turns: the streamed reply's
markdown re-parsed the whole text per delta (quadratic) and now
re-renders on a short trailing debounce; the attachment-image watcher
walked the whole transcript on every streamed chunk and now scans only
the items it has not seen. The accounts page drops a stray Rust-ism
comment, and the avatar row's meta line admits webp like its accept
attribute always did.
The (+) door and the clipboard door both stage files as removable
chips, the claw's own budget enforced client-side (eight a message,
5 MiB decoded each, errors surfaced, never silent drops). The sent
row renders local previews at once; the stream's user_message echo
carries the stored ids and dedupes against it, so a replayed message
renders its thumbnails through the same bearer-guarded fetch as an
attachment card. Model options mark vision when the listing knows.
The stored `colors` key names a palette — rhema (the default,
Jadeite), aquamarine, black-and-white, or dracula — and the
Appearance page of /settings cycles it live, like the theme and
icon toggles beside it. Each palette carries a dark and a light
appearance under the existing `theme` key; dracula's light side is
derived, the official palette ships only dark.
The appearance decision moves off token comparison: Theme now
answers is_dark() from the ground/text luminance, so palettes
beyond the original two get the right per-profile fallback tones.
