ui-sidebar shell landed on master (#643: geometry-only shell, the
browsing region moved to the sidebar.workspaces slot); this branch's
sidebar.settings foot seat re-applies on top — the hardcoded foot row
becomes the seat, the seat rides the railIn crossfade, and the shell
spec's renderSlot stub key-splits region vs settings.
The shell is now a pure composition face: no dictionaries, no locale
dependency, and three new chrome content seats (settings.trigger /
settings.header / settings.close) whose slot content also carries the
accessible names (trigger text, dialog aria-labelledby, visually hidden
close label). ui-settings-general returns as the owner of copy that
belongs to no single feature: chrome content, the General section with
its item slot, and the settings dictionaries. Slot types split homes —
trigger/header/close/section live in the shell contract; the
settings.general.item entry moves to the locale package (the common
dependency of every item registrant), with ui-theme consuming it
through a re-export seam; the verbatim duplicate merges are gone and
the dependency graph is a clean DAG.
Settings collaboration direction (recorded in the note): the shell only
provides composition faces — feature plugins register themselves. The
General section moves into the ui-settings shell (order 0, skeleton
rows) and declares the settings.general.item list slot; locale registers
the Language row and ui-theme the Appearance row (each with its own
store mirror, dictionaries, and ledger-judged deferral); the
ui-settings-general package is gone. ui-settings-models becomes
ui-models — a feature package that contributes its Settings section
rather than a settings-owned satellite. The item-slot SlotMap entry is
authored in the ui-settings contract and repeated verbatim in
locale/ui-theme (reference-cycle avoidance; declaration merging keeps
the copies identical).
Add the browser Settings surface as slot-composed plugins over new
preference services:
- Rename dsh-client-i18n to dsh-client-locale (locale is the domain
name); LocaleService adds getLocale()/setLocale(id), immutable
snapshots, a locale/change event, and dsh.locale persistence.
- ThemeService owns the light/dark/system preference (default system),
resolves system via prefers-color-scheme, publishes theme/change
snapshots, persists dsh.theme, and no longer touches the DOM;
ui-layout's ThemePresenter applies resolved snapshots
(body[data-ds-dark-theme] + alias tokens) and cleans up on dispose.
- ui-sidebar drops the phase-1 settings dropdown/modal; the foot renders
the new sidebar.settings slot with the column state.
- New ui-settings shell occupies sidebar.settings: foot trigger row and
the centered 1080x700 panel (figma 501:29947) with 24% mask, close
button / mask click / Escape all closing, and a 188px nav projected
from the settings.section list slot it declares. Nav labels are
registrant-localized; sections re-register on locale change, so the
ledger version is the shell's only subscription.
- ui-settings-general registers the General section: Permission and
Tool Call skeletons, live Language (locale menu) and Appearance
(Light/Dark/System cubes following the persisted preference); its
slot store mirrors both service snapshots via apply-side listeners.
- ui-settings-models registers the Models nav entry with an empty
content column.
- Portaled menus pin z-index above modal overlays (a menu anchored
inside the settings dialog rendered underneath it and was
unclickable).
- theme/data/list-pen icons in ui-primitives; settings copy ships as
zh/en dictionaries; fixture manifests gain the settings rows.
The four free functions in boot.tsx become one kernel class holding what
must exist before cordis: the parsed BootManifest, the ClientModuleSystem
instance, and the loading-page handles. Context/Loader setup runs in
parallel with the immediately-tier prefetch, but entry creation awaits the
prefetch: materialization is tree.import's synchronous require, so
cross-package require edges (i18n -> runtime/client) need every
immediately-tier factory registered first — unbarriered creation raced
10-25% of boots. The kernel adopts the modules entry (writes the
__DSH_MODULES__ slot pre-cordis, creates the entry first, skips its graph
row), and provide('modules') now lives in the adoption apply. apps/web
drops its host-package edges (composition is apps/cli's job).
ui-question landed on master as a full dshClient plugin package (composer
question flow); it enters the flat roster, apps/cli deps/refs, and the
smoke graph. Restore the workspace-context and user-interaction host deps
the conflict resolution had dropped.
