The Makepad Builder (tools/makepad_builder: the Windows download is makepad-builder.zip with the Builder's source; macOS and Linux run makepad.sh), the CI runner (tools/ci), cargo-makepad, the agents tool, the root workspace and the documents.
Covers work 6f1e44649..2b1a41df4 outside platform, draw, widgets, libs, apps and 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
- cef: a page's audio can be captured instead of played
- Button: activate from the keyboard when focused (#1241)
- libs/ai: exclude hub_ui and services from the AI workspace (#1242)
- flow: the flow-ui app and the flowgraph canvas return to the workspace, with staged progress in libs/flow
- svg: a stroke that bends tighter than its half width collapses its inner edge to the corner
- the accent a name is written with stops deciding whether search finds it
- macOS: keep the paint clock beating while the window is minimized (#1244)
- Linux: only link libdrm for the direct backend (#1245)

- app_main!: only ship the fonts an app declares (#1247)
- ai stems: LaneDemixer, VocalsModel and the platform Stage origin/main needs
- 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
- widgets: the supersampled resolve and the map's shadow mask sample their textures as stored, like every other render texture
- platform: every OpenGL texture pass stores top-left rows, custom cameras included, and culls with the winding its inverted projection gives
- 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
- widgets, platform: the last twelve warnings go
- The Builder compiles itself again from the Makepad tree Scope's release pins and removes the source snapshots nothing is built from any more
- The regex engine accepts \b and \B, reports the earliest match so a scan can resume after it, and can decide word boundaries on ASCII so a code sear
- workspace: Scope's settings carry the code map's tab width and the directories each prepared project hides from its map
- AGENTS.md: a platform change made for one application needs the user's feedback and checks first, and app specifics never leak into the shared layer
- wm: the desktop style menu lists each style once
- cef, video, platform: what Stage's browser needs from the shared layers
- macOS: re-arm the display links when a window leaves the Dock (#1251)

- ci: untested is grey and nothing else
- ci: warming fills the cache and blames nobody
- Vulkan: stop printing the loader's startup narration by default (#1252)
- ci: the terminal gets its pty helper, director is a desktop tool, and a refused input is asked again
- platform: no warnings on tvOS and linux_direct, and a missing pty helper says so
- apps: what the CI box found
- ScrollBar: add `show_handle` for a view that scrolls without a grabbable bar (#1254)
- cargo-makepad: keep the android SDK at a stable path (#1253)
- ci: the window is a dashboard
- Remove Flow, asset and VJ applications moved into Stage
- ci: a stop or a restart is not a test result
- ci: a quiet header, a build that visibly moves, and scripts that leave the machine alone
- widgets: children a lookup discovers reach the dump, the snapshot and the flood searches
- tests: the workspace suite, run as a whole for the first time, passes outside the example UI tests
- platform: a hidden window wears no hands-off frame
- examples: the UI tests pass, for the reasons they failed
- ci: a library's warnings turn the workspace block yellow, and a desktop tool is not warmed for the web
- libs: no warnings in the workspace check on any row
- ci: the workspace script gives the wall back after warming
- ci: a judgement is never lost to the way it was phrased, and every "retry" of the bridge is retried

- widgets: let the host install script mods into every Splash isolate
- widgets: a pooled test context forgets the last case's Escape claim
- widgets: the pooled test context's resets replace the globals
- wm: the shell menu says what it did, and the CI waits for that
- platform: the storage module says how much a volume has free
- git: the memory ledger can take what it is asked for
- ci: a driven app takes every key once, and the storage module builds for the browser
- RadioButton: fix its touch hover state and click-off behavior (#1258)
- HtmlLink: fix its hover and pressed states (#1257)
- RadioButton: take key focus on the click, not on the press (#1259)
- script: re-entrant dispatch, thread index validation, Any-based handle downcasts, UTF-8 previews; regex: never_loop fix

- fix(text): enable ttf-parser gvar-alloc for many-tuple variable fonts
- feat(text): CoreText outline fallback for hvgl-only fonts (macOS)
- draw text: the CoreText outline fallback is only ever resolved for a face whose outlines live solely in hvgl, and font-family diagnostics are the `f

- platform, wm: hosted apps ask the WM for what they cannot do themselves
- wm on Android: apps build on the phone

- vulkan (android): a window released on suspend is not released again
- 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
- agents: a user touching an app under test no longer stops the agent
- flowgraph: ordered ports take many wires, sockets can override their icon, and the canvas embeds as a viewport

- 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
- widgets: relief surfaces can travel like mechanical keys, and dark surfaces take less neighbour light
- 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
- platform: Android builds without Vulkan compile again, and the font-selection test counts the hosted entry point
- platform: the pipeline-skip repaint mark exists only on Apple, where Metal reads it
- builder: the terminal scripts delete nothing and read top to bottom, and every Builder delete stays inside its own folder
- 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

- build: dev keeps line tables only, release is incremental without LTO, the parallel frontend is a documented local opt-in
- cargo-makepad: a binary with several app_main! entry points bundles

Remove the retired applications, asset-specific libraries and DJ pack tool
from Makepad, together with their workspace and launcher entries. All 981
removed source paths are accounted for in the private Stage repository.
Keep public AI chat generation through the AI Hub's generic job runner.
Extract shared SHA-256 and UDP binding into core_util so the public hub and
model crates no longer depend on the relocated asset libraries. Preserve
the retained public coverage in the split wasm validation script.
Validation on the exact cleanup tree in an isolated checkout:
- Release checks: core_util, model, aichat, WM and Builder.
- Release builds: aichat, WM and Builder.
- Existing tests: core_util 5, model 30, aichat 7, Builder 2 passed.
- Core/model checks: wasm32, Linux and Windows passed.
- No warnings in the successful checks, builds or tests.
Known baseline: WM library tests do not compile because the unchanged
style-transition assertion compares seven expected weights with eight.
The unrelated working-tree correction is intentionally outside this commit.
The root menu names the two entries Makepad WM and Makepad Apps, in that
order, below Compile and run Scope. Every entry in Makepad Apps now does
what the WM entry already did: set up any missing compiler, download the
sources, compile and open the app, then return to the list with the
selection kept. The nested per-app checklist and its Back entries are
gone, so the menu has one shape. The Builder's runbook follows.
The platform reads --focus since this morning, not MAKEPAD_FOCUS; the
macOS launch of Scope passes the argument.

tools/makepad_builder replaces tools/makepad_loader: one build target
shared across app builds, workspace package selection, checkout
progress on the public Git API, detached built apps with a completion
state, waits for Windows security scans, manual retry after compiler
locks, dedicated-folder installer checks, catalog and runtime fixes.
tools/web_server and its scripts leave for github.com/makepad/webserver.
Arch USB clone/restore scripts, the qwen38 box scripts and the G-belt
serial test join tools/. docs/agents records the agent workflow and the
remote-control handoff protocol; AGENTS.md forbids vendored sources and
bulk imports. Cargo.toml lists apps/wm-dyn, libs/code_language,
libs/search, libs/tar, libs/loader_bundle and tools/makepad_builder,
and drops the two removed crates.
Squashed from work:
- Share Builder target across Makepad app builds
- Fix Builder workspace package selection
- Align Builder checkout progress with public Git API
- Detach built apps and show completion state
- Wait for Windows security scans
- Offer manual retry after Windows compiler locks
- docs: the agent workflow of record and the remote-control handoff protocol
- builder: dedicated-folder installer checks, catalog and runtime fixes; Windows job objects hold c_void handles
- tools: Arch USB clone/restore scripts, the qwen38 box scripts, and the G-belt serial test
- tools: the web server moves to makepad/webserver
- AGENTS.md: no vendored sources or bulk imports in the tree
