Two services on the AI bus. terminal: read_screen (the visible grid as
text, cursor and cwd in the note), read_scrollback (up to 2000 recent
lines) and run — which types the line into the live, unsandboxed shell
exactly as the person would, refuses control characters and anything
over 4 kB, and answers at once so the model reads the outcome with
read_screen next. browser: page (the active tab's title and url — CEF
exposes no page text, so none is promised), tabs, navigate and new_tab,
http(s) or about:blank only. Context lines: the shell's cwd, the active
tab. Written by the delegate from the sheets/files shapes; terminal
331 + 5 tests, browser checks.

Driven native, one app at a time, with the assistant up at boot:
terminal, files, task and browser warm-adopted; sheets, image, video
and pdf launched cold; sheets also as an in-process module; the tools
answering through the pane (os.list/launch/close/open, files' listing,
a refused jail escape, a treemap, sheets' summary both ways).
What broke and is fixed: when a window closed or a client died the
layout's automatic refocus took the keyboard from the OPEN chat, so an
os.close typed in the pane sent the next console line into a sheet —
the refocus now leaves the keys with the pane while it is open (a click
on a tile still moves focus, through focus_client). A warm spawn that
cannot start (an installed layout without the binary) counts as a crash
so the pool gives that app up instead of retrying every tick. browser
and sheets link the WM API: a title in the bar and a polite close on
CloseRequested; aichat quits on CloseRequested (the desktop going down).
Measured (WM log, launched → first flip): warm-pooled apps 25–50 ms;
cold launches through cargo's freshness check 0.7–3.7 s (up to 14 s
under a parallel launch's target lock); the same binaries run plain
0.3–1.5 s after macOS has scanned them. wm 148, sheets 84, aichat 2.

Packages are makepad-<name> with the short name as the binary. Env vars
follow (MAKEPAD_WM_*, MAKEPAD_FILES_*, MAKEPAD_TERMINAL_*), config moves
under ~/.makepad/<app>/, the theme namespaces are mod.wm_theme and
mod.browser_theme, the hosted AI envelope key is wm_ai. platform/video
becomes makepad-platform-video so the video app can be makepad-video.
Carries the Score entries that were pending in the WM's curated table.
