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 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.

A test is a ci.splash beside what it tests; the script decides every input and the model only ever judges one picture against one acceptance text. mod.ci: launch (hidden, --remote, user_seq preserved), key, type_text, click, get, snap, wait_log (a * is a gap inside one line), no_errors, grab, quit; step, sleep, check, run; cargo, check_targets (the cargo makepad check matrix, check only for platforms we are not on, a test fails if the two tables drift), test, build, machine (another box over the makepad tunnel), exclusive; judge, accept, ask. The watcher polls git ls-remote once a minute for work and any extra branches, syncs a checkout the CI owns, runs the root script first and alone, then the rest up to a parallel limit behind one shared model judge. The window is a wall of squares, one per script: green passed, orange warnings, red failures, with a detail panel for the selected one.
Scripts: the root ci.splash (workspace check with core warnings denied, the tests), apps/wm (desktop up, switch to macOS by Cmd+Space / type / Return, launch the terminal and the browser, each waited for by the WM's own first-frame line), and one per main app in the default shape. Proven here: apps/wm/ci.splash green in 280 s, fifteen target checks and seven vision verdicts.
Models come from Hugging Face through the hub: registry entries qwen3.5-4b-vision and qwen3.5-9b-vision with exact revisions, sizes and digests, and hub-install, a command line over LocalModels::start_install. vlm-probe reads PNG.

Every manifest `app_main!` emitted carried three fonts no theme role uses:
`NewCMMath-Regular.otf` for `MathView`, and `Inter.ttf` / `RobotoFlex.ttf` for the opt-in
iOS and Android platform styles. That was 3.6 MB in every package, and it only existed
because a font an app forgot to declare failed silently: `FontFamily::update_font_definitions`
skipped a member whose bytes never arrived, so the text showed as boxes with no log line.
* Drop the forced extras. The manifest is now the font set's fallback chain plus whatever
the app puts in `font_assets`, which is what makepad's own apps already did for `Inter`.
* `font_assets` takes expressions, and `INTER_FONT_ASSET` / `ROBOTO_FLEX_FONT_ASSET` join
`MATH_VIEW_FONT_ASSET`, so an app declares a font by name instead of by path.
* A font that never loads now logs one `error!` naming the path and the fix. A missing
member still degrades gracefully: the family keeps its remaining members.
* The apps that use those fonts declare them: the `wm` family binds both platform faces,
`clock`, `weather` and `director` draw with Inter and can select any style, `terminal`
and the builder use Inter for symbols, `splash` and `aichat` use `MathView`.
The APK carries rustc, the checkout and a packed target tree as LZ4
frames. First compile streams them out of the asset manager into files/
and shows progress on the desk; later launches skip unpack when the
stamp matches. App crates keep a desktop Cargo.toml — dynamic-module is
empty — and rustc `--extern force:` binds makepad_wm_engine already in
the process so widgets stay the host dylib.
libs/lz4 grows a streaming frame codec and a makepad-lz4 CLI; libs/tar
unpacks those frames without buffering the archive. Android Vulkan
records two in-flight repaints instead of waiting every pass, and the
capture Y-flip applies only on the OpenGL fallback.

apps/mail indexes local Apple Mail through the Envelope Index: Gmail
Inbox, Sent, Starred and Important are label rows, attachments open
from the message view, and a reimport button wipes the cache. apps/wm
hosts apps as on-demand dylibs on Android (apps/wm-dyn, with the module
apps' manifests and module.rs following). apps/terminal polls the child
with MpTerm::process_exited and resolves widget fonts through
makepad_widgets. Widgets: double-click selects a word in TextFlow,
links keep their hand cursor, and three stale tests follow the tree's
root rule and the mobile font policy.
Squashed from work (the apps and widgets parts of each):
- Index local Apple Mail with Gmail labels, attachments and reimport
- terminal: MpTerm::process_exited polls the child, and widget fonts resolve through makepad_widgets
- widgets: double-click selects a word in TextFlow; links keep their hand cursor
- wm: the Android super-app hosts apps as on-demand dylibs (apps/wm-dyn)
- widgets: three stale tests follow the tree's root rule and the mobile font policy

Squash of 59 work commits (Sep 1–12):
b0380ba image-tiles: the picture-wall engine as a library — tape atlases, a baker CLI, and the TileGrid widget
83d8eac mpsheets: demo feature and the SheetDocs seam
daff390 finance: demo feature — generated ledger, SQLite target-gated, import hidden
13b4c48 mpfiles: demo build — procedural fake filesystem, still-image thumbnails, chat feature
58e1f72 mpsheets: review fixes for the demo seam
3203e32 finance: review fixes — id remapping on persist, structural determinism tests, one cfg seam
0537687 mpfiles: distinct repo-owned pictures for the demo thumbnail pool
fe920c8 files: review fixes — demo scan exclusions, Zipf sizes, trash root guarded, depth bound, tests
4144dc4 files: the spy test filesystem implements the clock
1940f3d fonts: leave apps/wm untouched — its font-set declaration waits for the aichat lane to land
b0e34c2 wm: the AI pane and its bus — the aichat child seated in the slot, F10, the os service with the typed open
de937ac route: the web build is a one-to-one recompile — native UI, service seams behind it
2f5a984 files: the file browser on the AI bus — four read-only tools through a correlated, cancellable runner
2b035ff route: the navigation session keeps time on the platform clock — the std clock traps on wasm
1b70899 files: the space view is where a tab starts
412b3c9 files: the space view rescans through the virtual filesystem — the web has no other disk
0105fa5 files: the space view opens in 2.5D
5d007e0 files: an unset projection preference means 2.5D
6857d86 files: the projected treemap clips boxes at the near plane and keeps the camera above them
d3cd233 wm: one desk for every target — the host seam, the assistant seated in-process, the web profile, and the assistant up at boot
6d47c3f wm: the omarchy themes moved to omacom/omarchy — the importer follows
82def6b wm: every app under the desk — the chat keeps the keyboard through an automatic refocus, a pool that gives up, polite closes for browser, sheets and aichat
6105b61 sheets + files: the assistant reads and writes cells, makes folders, renames and trashes
82ac768 photos: the picture wall as an app — the SMBC archive on the tile engine, a module from its first line; fabric in the launcher
190062e route: the maps app exposes its tool table to the desktop assistant
3768653 image_tiles: the wall is box-packed — justified rows keep every picture's own shape and fill the width
3691875 wm: launcher icons — a photo for Photos, a shirt for Fabric, a globe for Route, a play badge for Video, a pulse for the task manager
8625076 aichat + photos + image_tiles: make me a picture and it lands on the wall; the wall filters as you type, tiles flying to their places
1dcca41 wm: a theme with no wallpapers fetches them on its own
ff6cfec wm: minimise, maximise and close in the bar's top right on Windows and Linux
62f38a5 route: --hour=N pins the theme hour for harness grabs
362ac59 wm: the checkout is found from the working directory too, and a sibling binary is an .exe on Windows
0fdfba7 files: the web's makepad home is a fixed virtual path — std's temp_dir panics there
daf88e1 route demo: the tiles come from the repacked world archive at its own never-cached path
15c3b11 ai-services: what the pubsub review found — modules get a subscription seam and a publish sink through both WM paths, lease end flushes unsubscribes to hosted services, the subscription cap counts closing rows, an endpoint's queue is dropped after Unregister, the prompt drops a subscription on final
d852699 route: no tile-source dropdown — makepad.nl is the tile source through the local range cache; a world.mkmap in the saved maps folder is the only override; the stale preference file is removed on start
aa271c3 map + route + geodata: the Terrain layer through the archive plane — TerrainSource (hosted .mkmap elevation shards fetched by range through the shared reader, a local MBTiles only as a dev override), the hillshade rendered on the pool's heavy lane with reused TerrainScratch buffers (web capped at 2048×1536 at DPR 1, native DPR-aware), one request in flight; the demo checkbox now renders terrain like native
dbc7838 route: the maps-folder field and its save button are gone from the settings panel; the maps root is automatic
a53d9b6 route: no clock-driven night theme — the theme is the user's toggle, remembered in cx.storage, default day (the hour rule fired on the web for the first time once wasm had a clock and darkened the map after 19:00)
ca92ff9 route: the open sea on the web — the ocean-low/ocean-high overlays are an always-on group in the shared hosted overlay table, read through the archive plane (makepad.nl, cached); native keeps the local ocean files only as a dev override; the native-only OCEAN_MBTILES path is gone
4cd24c4 route demo: the first location fix flies the map to the user at zoom 14, as native does; Amsterdam stays the default until a fix arrives
2e869f8 route: the ocean-high overlay comes from the re-sharded archive (58 shards of at most 16 MB, one small leaf directory each) instead of two shards whose directories decoded to 407 MiB
8021bb0 Add Clock and Weather with shared mobile tile views and persistent alarms
77b8309 Make application layouts and custom widgets follow desktop and mobile themes
b357164 Add desktop and mobile compositor shells with OS switching and dock transitions
11dec2e Keep hosted app output readers off the shared task pool
c4002c5 Round complete desktop surfaces and add Windows snap layouts
a5f8dd8 Frame home photo tiles and clip the picture wall below app controls
678721d Give mobile app libraries real search focus and hosted keyboard input
4794cdf Keep window title fills opaque at the application surface join
2cc584e Match Windows 2000 and NeXTSTEP window chrome to original screenshots
4a876a8 Give Files navigation and storage tools a clearer hierarchy
7821c90 Keep prewarmed browsers in the active desktop appearance
5bfe694 Compact the Files toolbar and repair navigation and selection actions
44fef36 Preserve Photos subjects and zoom across host view and aspect changes
ae20efc Draw larger macOS traffic lights with centered hover symbols
2bc4d89 wm: the WM is a library plus a desktop binary, Linux controls, hosted tick pacing
d643eb4 apps: the in-process app wave — mail, notes, calendar, reminders, calculator; clock, weather, finance, photos and route as modules; civil time, read-only sqlite, Linux CEF
56c1dee wm: a timer beat missed while the child renders is serviced on its acknowledgement
