App and example changes, with the apps that moved to the Stage repository (apps/vj, apps/asset-ui) removed here.
Covers work 6f1e44649..2b1a41df4 for apps examples:
- wm: the Android super-app compiles tiles on the phone against the host engine
- cargo-makepad: the super-app APK is packed by `android dyn-pack`, in Rust
- widgets, storybook: the widget catalogue app, some eighty new widgets, a theme store with mixable style sheets, and the rule that a press belongs to
- wm, widgets: the style tween starts with all eight weights, and the new style sheet takes the last number instead of macOS's
- platform: the Android desk swipes at 120 Hz — offscreen render passes and framebuffers cached, SVG meshes kept, font families that complete
- flow: the flow-ui app and the flowgraph canvas return to the workspace, with staged progress in libs/flow
- app_main!: only ship the fonts an app declares (#1247)
- platform, widgets, wm: every Vulkan pass renders through a negative-height viewport again, so a Wayland or X11 window stands upright, and no capture
- calendar: its own colour contrast is named explicitly, now that the theme store exports one under the same name through the widgets glob
- platform, wm, director: a hosted app's software frame arrives as a top-left texture and the window manager and the director carry no flip term at al
- wm: the desktop style menu lists each style once
- cef, video, platform: what Stage's browser needs from the shared layers
- platform, wm: work builds again on iOS, tvOS and wasm, and the window manager is warning-free on Windows
- ci: tools/ci, a Splash runtime that watches a branch and runs every ci.splash it finds
- ci: the terminal gets its pty helper, director is a desktop tool, and a refused input is asked again
- apps: what the CI box found
- Remove Flow, asset and VJ applications moved into Stage
- ci: a quiet header, a build that visibly moves, and scripts that leave the machine alone
- tests: the workspace suite, run as a whole for the first time, passes outside the example UI tests
- examples: the UI tests pass, for the reasons they failed
- tests: the last three failures of the CI box's night
- tools: makepad-screen is makepad-agents, and its binary is `agents`
- tests: the three binaries over ten seconds in release come under it
- wm: the shell menu says what it did, and the CI waits for that
- mail: the phone layout lines up
- clock: the phone layout fits both orientations
- calendar, reminders, calculator, sheets: the phone layouts fit their space
- platform, widgets, wm: a touch that is taken away is cancelled, never released
- weather, notes, finance, photos, route: the phone layouts tidy up
- files: the phone layout tidies up
- wm: the phone shell's surfaces match the app and the grid
- wm on Android: every app is its own process
- clock: a cancelled release neither opens an alarm nor switches tab
- platform, wm: hosted apps ask the WM for what they cannot do themselves
- wm on Android: apps build on the phone
- wm on Android: app transitions and gestures feel like the phone's
- android: rotated Vulkan windows stop rebuilding their swapchain every frame, and hosted children get touch
- android: hosted children hand frames over with GPU fences and draw only when they have work
- wm on Android: gestures and surfaces settle like the phone's
- widgets: touch lists scroll with Android's physics
- wm on Android: the shell follows the Pixel launcher's motion
- wm on Android: Recents shows the apps over a receding home, and the home screen switches looks
- wm on Android: the look switcher stays put, the iOS dock shows its icons, background apps follow a look change
- task, cargo-makepad, widgets, audio: the task manager chooses its columns, graphs every process' network and disk traffic and installs itself as a D
- files: the tile view's three projections are toolbar buttons
- mail: the local view takes a theme-derived palette and line icons, search pages share records
- director: agent lanes form a tree and Grok joins the usage bar
- widgets, draw: skeuomorphic surfaces light each other through an optional relief buffer
- widgets, platform: a texture can light the relief buffer, menus take colour chips, and a style reload recompiles changed shader functions
- platform, widgets, audio_route, ai: window crossfades and whole-frame presents, caption controls that click, themed menus, a stereo-pair audio tap,
- builder: the Builder TUI matches the new terminal design, Windows executables carry app icons, and every app has one
- files: the Files app deletes nothing and never overwrites
- director: coding agents ask before acting unless you choose otherwise
- sheets, score, git, home: saves cannot cut a file short or overwrite another one, and checkouts cannot write outside the repository
- widgets, builder: the big widget families are features, all on by default, and the Builder takes none of them
- ai: Claude Desktop drives any app with the F10 panel
- wm: starts on Windows
- wm: children open no console windows on Windows
- wm: the whole deck out of a Builder's source, compiled only when the person opens an app
- ai: Connect hands the .mcpb to Claude Desktop itself
- wm: the clock and calendar know the date on Windows
- wm: opening an app rebuilds it when its binary is out of date; warm instances never build
- civil-time: one local wall clock for every app, and it knows the zone on Windows
- platform + wm: a hosted child redraws at its tile's new size
- calendar: the Calendars sheet is an opaque panel, and the wide layout does not float one over its sidebar
- platform: an app's package dir, icons and bundle name rebuild only that app
- build: the AI stack, csg, Scope and Source Library join the one workspace
- ai chat: the chat's backends are the CLI, MCP and cloud providers; the local model is the `localai` feature
- apps: every app that hosts the chat has a `localai` feature for the local model, off unless the app's own job runs one
- widgets: every widget family is a crate of its own under widgets/families, and makepad-widgets links, re-exports and registers the ones its features
- aichat, widgets: the chat reads the design feedback through the tweaker's hook, so linking the chat no longer needs the tweaker
- apps, examples, libs: each crate builds only the widget families it uses, and the design overlay is each app's own default feature
- ai chat: a build without local AI starts on the first provider that answers here, not on "No model"
- repo: no third-party comic archive, generated models or sample asset in the tree
- remove big example media files
- wm: in a Makepad Builder installation apps build through the Builder, however wm was started

- The child's Tick drains the network queue for HTTP and script sockets (dispatch_network_runtime_events), and that queue also carries the host socket its hosted loop reads. A host batch landing during a Tick went through dispatch_studio_msg, which drops the loop's own messages: WindowGeomChange, Swapchain, Tick. The drain now parks host-socket responses in Cx::studio_backlog once a loop owns the socket (its first read), and the loop's next read takes them first, in order. Before: 1 in 2-3 split runs lost the geometry; after: 6 of 6 runs delivered every geometry sent. Applies to the macOS and Linux X11 hosted loops too; Android hosted never drained the network in its Tick
- wm's run view cleared its bootstrap (the geometry resend) on any present, so a frame already in flight when the tile changed size cancelled the geometry before it was sent; a present settles it only after the first bootstrap beat has sent the messages

- Windows: the Store package's App Execution Alias (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\claude-desktop.exe), else the running Claude Desktop's own exe (never Claude Code's claude.exe), else the installer's AnthropicClaude\claude.exe or Programs\Claude\Claude.exe; started with no console window.
- macOS: open -a Claude <bundle>, when Claude.app is in /Applications or ~/Applications. Linux: xdg-open as before.
- No Claude Desktop found: the panel says "Claude Desktop isn't installed".

wm.exe died at startup with "thread 'main' has overflowed its stack"
(0xc00000fd) on Windows, where the main thread gets 1 MB against 8 MB on
macOS and Linux. The startup chain is shallow (~85 frames) but five of its
frames were huge: ShellIcons (41 DrawSvg, ~110 KB) sat by value in every
ShellDraw, PhoneSurface carries one ShellDraw and WmDesk carries a
PhoneSurface plus its own ShellDraw (286 KB). Each constructor layer
(WmDesk factory, WmDesk::script_new, PhoneSurface::script_new and
script_new_with_default, ShellDraw) held its whole value in its frame:
about 970 KB in five frames. Reproduced on macOS by linking wm with a
1 MB main stack (same overflow).
script gets a transparent Box<T> (ScriptNew/ScriptApply/ScriptHook forward
to T: same type id, proto, default and apply), and ShellDraw boxes its
icons. The same chain now takes ~305 KB (WmDesk 286 -> 69 KB, PhoneSurface
140 -> 30 KB, ShellDraw 117 -> 7 KB); the 1 MB-stack build starts and runs.

- The loopback MCP server moves from Director into libs/ai/services (mcp::server); Director re-exports it, its lane tokens and tests unchanged. The dispatcher now names the server and its instructions; a TokenStore can live in memory only (ephemeral).
- mcp::host: while Claude Desktop is the provider the panel serves its registry's tools (service__tool names) on an ephemeral 127.0.0.1 port with a fresh bearer token, and writes ~/.makepad/mcp/<exe-stem>.json {pid, port, token, title} (0600 in a 0700 dir), removed when the provider changes or the panel goes. Calls queue to the UI thread and run through EngineCore::call_external: a card in the transcript, destructive calls held for the person's confirm (the pane opens for it), the result sent back when the card lands.
- mcp::mcpb: "Connect to Claude Desktop" writes <exe-stem>.mcpb (a stored zip, manifest_version 0.3, binary server = this executable with --mcp) and opens it so Claude Desktop shows its install dialog.
- platform mcp_relay: `<app> --mcp`, checked first in app_main before any Cx, window, GPU or audio, relays newline JSON-RPC on stdio to the running app's endpoint. It answers initialize/ping itself and tools/list from the app's last list while the app is down, starts the app (detached, MAKEPAD_AI_PROVIDER=claude-desktop, engine up with the pane closed) on the first call that needs it, waits up to 20 s for its file, and exits when stdin closes.

- task: a right-click column chooser (sections as flyouts, Default Columns), every figure and graph its own sortable column, dragged order and widths saved; per-process network bytes/packets from the kernel's ntstat control socket (matches nettop, no root), disk bytes, footprint and idle wake-ups every tick; history journal v4
- widgets: data_grid_columns, one column helper (chooser, reorder, resize, fit, sort cycle, layout text) that task uses and other tables can reuse; the menu engine refreshes marks inside an open flyout; the segmented control centres its labels on the line height and no longer glides after a moved row
- svg: a stroke join never connects to the previous subpath (the diagonal through outline icons)
- platform: home::app_data_dir; script: ScriptIp body ids widened to 14 bits (16384 bodies, was 4096) with an index of 26 bits, and a clear stop instead of aliasing past the limit
- audio_route (new): tap an app's audio output through the Core Audio process tap into a host processor (equalizer, gain, limiter, analyzer) and play it; audio_picture owns the one FFT; audio_decode probes tags and length from a file's head and tail; search::fold_words; zip_file reads archives with a trailing comment

The WM phone shell rides on it: the simulated finger in the desktop skin, time-based release velocity (80 ms window, stale after a 120 ms rest), one critically damped spring (k 900, c 60) seeded with that velocity for paging, drawer, recents and app open/close, an 8 pt / 1.2x axis lock latched through release, a drawer that tracks the finger 1:1 and draws opaque over the home tiles, hold-to-Recents precedence, launches that zoom from the icon actually drawn with an opaque launch card, no ghost card on close, and one cancel/reset path for rotation, resize, focus loss, style switch and keyboard navigation.
