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.

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

2bc4d89 wm: the WM is a library plus a desktop binary, Linux controls, hosted tick pacing

56c1dee wm: a timer beat missed while the child renders is serviced on its acknowledgement

sheets: read_range (one cell or an A1 rectangle, up to 2000 cells, rows
as tab-separated display values), find (case-insensitive over the used
range, 50 hits), write_cell and set_range (Act) — edits go through the
same commit path as paste and direct entry, so recalculation, undo and
the chrome all see them; the module executor answers the same tools.
files: mkdir, rename (a bare name, no separators) and trash (into the
app's own trash dir, never a delete) — Destructive, so the router shows
a confirm card first; every path through the jail, on the demo VFS as
on disk. Written by the delegate from the existing shapes; sheets 88,
files 158 tests.

Hosted by the window manager, files opens one AiServicePort with a
manifest built from the same table the app's own panel reads its tool
specs from, so the two can never drift: list_dir, read_file, stat,
treemap_summary, all Read. The calls run on a worker of their own
(ai_service.rs): every job carries the engine's call id and a cancel
flag the folder walk checks on every entry, a queued job cancelled
before its turn never runs, treemap_summary reports a permille per
direct child, and results come back by id whatever the order. The old
panel's order-only runner stays beside it for the old chat, behind the
chat feature it belongs to.
The port opens at startup unless the process is a warm-pool standby,
which waits for Adopted so a dormant instance never shows as a running
Files; a context line (folder, view, selection) follows every change;
ChatOpen from the desktop closes the app's own panel; the jail resolves
every path exactly as before.
Verified by hidden grabs under the WM: /os.launch files → the pane's
apps row reads Desktop · Files; list_dir, a refused jail escape, and a
treemap summary answered as cards. 151 tests.

Cx::monotonic_now backs every elapsed and deadline measurement (Instant natively,
performance.now on the web, reachable from workers); dispatch keeps its handler
installed across traps and rejects re-entry without panicking; the studio websocket
worker spawns only when a studio is configured and waits with park_timeout instead of
spinning.

apps/files, apps/sheets, libs/wm_api, libs/wm_theme and the renamed env vars and script
namespaces meet the demo seams; added demo files move to the renamed paths; the files app
keeps its own makepad_home so demo builds without the chat feature do not link the AI hub.

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.
