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

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`.
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 2 work commits (Sep 2–2):
7f1fefd terminal + browser: the assistant can read the screen, run a command, read and steer the tabs
a772ec8 terminal + browser: a warm-pool standby joins the AI bus only once adopted
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Dormant instances registered their services, so the assistant could
type into a shell or steer a page nobody could see. The port opens at
startup for a real launch and on WmEvent::Adopted for a standby, the
way files already did.

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.

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.
