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.

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

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

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

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

gen.image{prompt} is a service inside the assistant: on a worker it
runs the creator pipeline for the image domain against the node the
runner picks (LAN discovery, ETA-ranked, the resident flux model wins),
streams the node's progress into the tool card, and writes the picture
under the makepad home's gen/ dir; the creator library gains
generate_bytes — the request, poll and fetch that generate_and_publish
now shares — so no second pipeline exists. photos.add{path} bakes that
one file into the open library (only from the gen dir or the person's
home), re-opens the wall and glides onto the new picture; the module
executor answers it later through the host's reply sink. The model
chains them, launching photos in between. A registry seam found on the
way: a call dispatched in the same event a link was adopted reached the
port before its Registered, so the registry now answers a leading
Register at once.
The wall gained a search box: every keystroke re-cuts the packing over
the matches (every word in a title or link; title beats link, a whole
word beats a substring), each picture flies from its drawn rect to its
target over 450 ms, dropped pictures shrink and fade, returning ones
grow back; Esc clears; ⌘F or a bare slash focuses the box; the status
reads "35 of 293 · ro". photos.filter{query} sets the same from the
pane; instances are rebuilt only while a flight runs, and the clock is
the platform's.
Proven on the fleet: "make me a picture of a red bicycle on the moon
and put it in photos" → the file in 40 s, photos launched, added and
shown among the comics; typing r, ro, rob re-packs the wall live; the
filter through the pane in a process tile and as a module. ai-services
39, aichat 5, photos 9, image_tiles 12, creator 9; aichat and photos
check for wasm32.

A pure packer (pack.rs) lays pictures in rank order into rows of one
target height and scales each full row to span the wall exactly, so
tall strips sit beside wide panels with no gaps and no overlap; the
last row keeps the target height instead of stretching two pictures
into giants; a 4 % gutter is split per cell. TileGrid gains the packed
wall as its default (packed: false gives the old uniform grid), frames
its camera on the packing's bounds, hit-tests through the row
partition, and picks each atlas page's level of detail from the
largest visible tile in it rather than one unit cell. photos needs no
change. image_tiles 10 (5 new), photos 7; the photos lib checks for
wasm32. Driven hidden: the 293 comics in justified rows, zoom, pan, a
click on a comic naming it, and photos.show gliding onto one.

apps/photos (lib + bin) puts libs/image_tiles' TileGrid in a tile: it
opens a baked library found by name (IMAGE_TILES_HOME, the cwd's
local/image-tiles, the checkout the binary was built in — the smbc
collection first), shows a status line with the bake command when
there is none, and exposes photos.search (every query word in a title
or link), photos.show (the camera glides onto one picture) and
photos.summary — the same answer for the port and for the module's
executor. PhotosModule mints the view inside an isolate with an open
schema that takes a collection name, never a path; the WM links it
behind app-photos and lists it in the menu. image_tiles learned to
decode GIF and WebP and to read a manifest's pictures from disk, so
the bake can take local/smbc's mirror: the last 300 comics are baked
under local/image-tiles/smbc (293; seven of the mirror's files are
saved error pages). fabric joins the launcher with a title and a
polite close.
Driven hidden: the wall in a process tile beside the left pane, panned
and zoomed; search and show cards; the same wall as an in-process
module; fabric launched and closed; standalone photos with the F10
overlay on the left. photos 7, image_tiles 5, wm 152; the photos lib
checks for wasm32.

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.

The Source Library wall's pixel engine, extracted for anyone's pictures:
libs/image_tiles carries the NV12 slot pyramid, the 32x32 shard atlas
geometry and the one-HEVC-intra-frame-per-file tape codec (tape.rs), a
small SQLite index (db.rs), a priority decode pool (store.rs), and the
TileGrid widget — instanced tiles batched per atlas page, anchor-locked
wheel zoom with log-space glide, continuous per-shard LOD with
crossfades, full-resolution promotion under byte budgets with LRU
eviction, and uniform-only re-presents inside the pad of the last build.
image-tiles-bake downloads a manifest of URLs (fetch pool free to be
wide, encode pool hard-capped — concurrent VT session churn has panicked
the encoder's IOMMU) and bakes a library; examples/image_tiles views one.
No JPEGs on disk; decode and encode are the hardware's.
