What

Fills the five lock-screen panels the view row could reach and nothing had ever put anything in, adds a power menu on a long press of the power key, and makes double-tap wake the dark screen. All of it is Jay's spec, taken from the glass over one evening, and all of it is running on the handset now.

The panels

  • New route /auth/lock-panels — console-only, 404 unless both TAOS_LOCK_DEMO_AGENTS and a new TAOS_LOCK_DEMO_PANELS are set. Added to EXEMPT_PATHS: this screen renders before sign-in, and /auth/lock-stats shipped without that once and would have 401'd on the glass.
  • phone — missed calls from the dialer, WhatsApp Business, an agent's Twilio line, plus voicemail.
  • mailbox — one unified stream, BlackBerry-Hub style: email, SMS, X DMs and LinkedIn, ordered by arrival, each row naming its source.
  • apps — Instagram, Reddit, a bank and YouTube, plus four more.
  • projectsreplaces the Settings tab ("makes sense as its a projects focused os"). Progress, agent count, and a blocked flag that sorts above everything else.
  • decisionsnot a tab; they ride at the top of Alerts "for quick answering".
  • Tab order is Jay's: agents, projects, alerts, mailbox, phone, stats, apps.
  • Alerts stopped duplicating the other panels. Four of the five old notification stacks were the same content twice; Alerts now carries only agent, system, security and backup notices. The three items that existed only in those stacks were moved, not dropped.

The power menu

  • Hold the power key 1.5s → Power off, Restart, Stop all agents, Screenshot, Emergency call. A tap still toggles the screen. Turning the screen off dismisses the menu.
  • All four consequential entries confirm first. Jay asked for Stop all agents and Emergency call, then added the shutdown button after tapping it by accident while testing; Restart carries the same guard.
  • A push, not a poll. The key is a physical button, so the menu has to be up by the time the thumb lifts — this screen's fastest poll is 3s and its panels are 15 minutes. sway posts to /auth/lock-power-menu on loopback and the page hears it over a new SSE /auth/lock-events, which carries UI signals only and no content, because it renders pre-auth.

Also

  • Cache-Control: no-cache on the three lock assets, was max-age=300. That header caused two "deployed but still broken" dead ends in one evening; this screen is iterated against the glass, so staleness is the expensive failure and a 304 is the cheap one.

Why the demo content is scripted, and stays that way

The lock screen renders before sign-in. Every line here is a server-side table with "demo": true per row and no code path to a real account. Jay's "email, SMS, X DMs, LinkedIn" list is exactly the shape that invites wiring the mailbox to a real inbox, and that would be a pre-auth leak rather than a feature. The tests assert the absence of that path, not only the presence of the content: test_no_panel_item_carries_a_route_to_a_real_account checks the payload's key shape, because the fields a leak would add are the ones nobody thought to enumerate.

Swapping Settings for Projects removed a pre-auth action surface ("stop all agents", reachable by anyone holding the phone) rather than relocating it. The power menu is reachable pre-auth too — but holding the physical key already powered the phone off from that state, so Power off and Restart add nothing the hardware did not have, and the endpoint acts on a closed list of five verbs rather than on whatever it is sent.

Reconciled by key from the first line

The last bug on this screen was every poller that wipes its container and rebuilds: paintActivity() emptied #ls-agents each tick, so every island was a new node replaying a 520ms entrance. Five more panels built that way would have been the same bug five more times. All of them reconcile by key, so a row that persists across a repaint keeps its node.

The tests assert node identity, not rendered values — "the names are still right" passes on the broken code too; it always rebuilt the list correctly, that was the whole problem. test_the_harness_observes_the_defect puts the wipe back and requires identity to break.

What the mutations found (and one thing they found that green tests could not)

  • Dropping the decisions from paintNotifications' placeInOrder → caught by exactly one test.
  • Ignoring the blocked flag → caught by exactly one test.
  • Deleting the re-attach in paintDecisions → ALL 63 assertions stayed green. Every one started with the container already parented, so the repair path was never driven. The sequence that reaches it (no decisions → a notification poll drops the empty container → a decision arrives) is now its own test and it fails under that mutation.
  • Flipping "Stop all agents" to not-confirm → caught by exactly one test.

Four bugs found on the glass, not by the tests — and what changed because of it

Jay found all four; 200+ green tests did not. Three shared one cause: a new member added to a system whose visibility is a hand-written list of names, while the machinery that makes things work is generic. So the code worked and the thing was invisible, silently.

  1. The panels painted 354 rows while still hidden — the view switcher only toggles data-off. 66 tests passed because the harness built its panels visible, so it was not reproducing the markup the server emits. The harness now builds them hidden and two tests assert the panel is shown.
  2. The power sheet blurred the screen and showed no buttons.ls-sheet rests at translateY(101%) and is raised only by rules that name each sheet, while the blur is driven by a generic selector. The test now derives the sheet names from sheetEl's own branches and fails with "no CSS rule reveals the 'power' sheet: it will open invisibly", so the next sheet is covered without anyone remembering to come back here.
  3. A stale kiosk cache I wrongly ruled out by grepping for a symbol present in both builds — the check could only ever answer "present". Hence the no-cache change.
  4. Shutdown hung on the splash forever (device-side; fixed in taOSmobile with systemctl --no-block, because the helper runs inside the very service the transition must stop).

Testing

249 tests green across test_lock_power_menu.py (new, 26), test_lock_demo_panels.py (new, 68), test_lock_screen_views.py, test_lock_screen_repaint.py, test_lock_screen_gestures.py, test_auth_middleware.py. deleted-symbols-guard: clean against origin/dev.

The JS is executed rather than grepped: the real painters run under node against a DOM stand-in, extracted from the served script so a copy of the code under test is never what gets tested.

Device side

The compositor half lives in jaylfc/taOSmobile per Jay's ownership ruling — taos-kiosk-dt2w (double-tap), taos-kiosk-power-hold (tap vs hold), and taos-power.path/taos-power-apply for the privileged step. Worth knowing for anyone near this: the controller runs as taos, and logind answers "challenge" to CanPowerOff for it; a polkit rule was written, installed and measured not to fire, and /etc/sudoers here has no includedir, so a sudoers.d drop-in is silently inert.

Verified on the handset

Running on the device now, not just in CI: /auth/lock-panels 200 with phone 10 / mailbox 13 / apps 8 / projects 8 / decisions 7; the tab row serving Jay's order; the power menu confirmed reaching an attached page (delivered: 1); double-tap-to-wake confirmed by Jay ("Double tap works :)").

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Expanded the lock screen with Phone, Mailbox, Apps, Projects, Alerts, and System panels.
    • Added demo content, pending decisions, notifications, weather, and per-agent CPU, memory, and storage readings.
    • Added power controls for shutting down, restarting, stopping agents, screenshots, and emergency calls.
    • Added brightness controls, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth switches, agent cycling, and mock push-to-talk via volume keys.
  • UI Updates

    • Replaced Settings with Projects and added clear empty-panel states.
    • Power options now appear in a centered dialog over a blurred screen.
    • Double-tapping wakes the handset; stray single touches no longer do.

The view row shipped seven tabs and only three had anything behind them.
Phone, mailbox and apps were empty; settings is gone and projects took its
place; pending decisions now ride at the top of alerts where they can be
answered without opening a tab of their own.

Content is Jay's, specified from the glass: missed calls from the dialer,
WhatsApp Business and an agent's Twilio line plus a voicemail; a unified
BlackBerry-Hub-style mailbox mixing email, SMS, X DMs and LinkedIn; Instagram,
Reddit, a bank and YouTube; projects with progress, agent counts and a blocked
flag. Tab order is his too: agents, projects, alerts, mailbox, phone, stats,
then apps.

Two constraints shaped the implementation.

The screen renders BEFORE sign-in, so every line is scripted, server-side and
gated behind TAOS_LOCK_DEMO_PANELS on top of the master demo flag. There is no
code path from any of it to a real account, and the tests assert the absence of
that path rather than only the presence of the content. Swapping settings for
projects removed a pre-auth ACTION surface ("stop all agents", reachable by
anyone holding the phone) rather than relocating it.

Every panel is a poller, and the last bug here was every poller that wipes its
container and rebuilds. All five are reconciled by key from the first line, so
a row that persists across a repaint keeps its node and cannot replay its 520ms
entrance. The tests assert node identity, not rendered values: the broken code
always rebuilt the list correctly, which was the whole problem.

Three mutations were run against the suite. Dropping the decisions from
paintNotifications' placeInOrder, and ignoring the blocked flag, were both
caught by exactly one test each. Deleting the re-attach in paintDecisions was
NOT caught -- all 63 assertions started with the container already parented, so
the repair path was never driven. The sequence that reaches it (no decisions ->
a notification poll drops the empty container -> a decision arrives) is now a
test, and it fails under that mutation.

Also: the battery percentage moves 3px left, and the shared DOM stand-in gains
getElementById, which paintNotifications now needs.

Docs-Reviewed: /auth/lock-panels is console-only (_request_is_console) and is
not reachable with an agent token, so the agent-facing API surface in
docs/agent-coordination.md is unchanged. It joins EXEMPT_PATHS for the same
reason /auth/lock-stats and /auth/lock-notifications are there: the lock screen
fetches it before sign-in. User-visible behaviour is covered by
changelog.d/3106-lock-demo-panels.md.
Jay, from the glass: "theres not enough". Phone 5 -> 10, mailbox 7 -> 13,
apps 4 -> 8, decisions 3 -> 7, projects 5 -> 8.

Two tests had written the old counts in as literals and went red on content
being added, which is backwards: the content is Jay's to grow. Both now derive
from the table -- the apps assertion requires his four as a SUBSET rather than
an exact set, and the phone assertion counts missed calls from the table
instead of asserting four.

Docs-Reviewed: scripted demo rows only. No route, schema, flag or user-facing
behaviour changed, so docs/agent-coordination.md and the changelog fragment
already added for this branch still describe it exactly.
Jay, from the device: "still no projects, mailbox, phone or apps demo data".
The panels were painting perfectly -- 354 `.ls-row` nodes in a DOM dump off the
handset -- and none of them were on screen.

The four panels are server-rendered `hidden`, and the view switcher only ever
toggles `data-off`; it never clears `hidden`. The two panels that predate this
row escape it because their own painters set `hidden` themselves
(`notifsEl.hidden = !notifsEl.firstChild`). Mine had nobody doing that, so
`.ls-feed > [data-view][hidden]` held them at display:none no matter which tab
was selected.

Cleared centrally in paintPanels rather than per-painter, so a panel with no
rows still shows its "nothing here" card: hiding an empty panel would make it
indistinguishable from one that failed to load.

The reason 64 tests passed while this shipped is the more useful half. The
harness created its panels VISIBLE, so it was not reproducing the markup the
server emits, and every identity and content assertion was true of a subtree
nobody could see. The harness now builds them hidden exactly as
_lock_head_html() does, and two tests assert the panel is shown -- both go red
with the fix reverted.

Docs-Reviewed: a display fix inside the lock screen. No route, flag, schema or
API surface changed; changelog.d/3106-lock-demo-panels.md already describes the
panels as user-visible behaviour.
Jay, from the glass: "the alerts category has some of the old notifications
that need moving into the correct categories".

The notification stacks predate the panels and were written when Alerts was the
only place anything could go. Once phone, mailbox and apps existed, four of the
five stacks were the same content twice: the mail stack repeated the mailbox,
the X and SMS stacks repeated the mailbox, the phone stack repeated the missed
calls, and the reddit stack repeated an app tile.

Alerts now carries only what nothing else can: agent progress, system and
update notices, a sign-in warning, and the nightly backup. The three items that
existed ONLY in the old stacks were moved rather than dropped -- the Liverpool
ticket ballot is a mailbox row, and the Reddit reply and X post count are the
notes on their app tiles.

Also, spacing Jay asked for in the same breath. The alerts gap goes 12px ->
18px: a collapsed stack carries 13px of padding for the cards peeking behind
it, so a single-item alert sat visibly tighter than a stack did. And
.ls-decisions had NO rule at all -- the pending-decision cards rely on a flex
gap like every other list here, so they stacked flush against each other at the
very top of the panel.

Docs-Reviewed: demo content and CSS only. No route, flag or schema changed;
changelog.d/3106-lock-demo-panels.md still describes this behaviour.
Jay: "Power button tap screen on/off, hold for 1.5/2 seconds menu appears".
Contents are his too -- Power off, Restart, Stop all agents, Screenshot,
Emergency call -- with "stop all agents and emergency call needs confirmation".

The menu is reachable BEFORE sign-in, as holding the physical key always was.
Power off and Restart therefore add nothing the hardware did not already allow.
"Stop all agents" genuinely does add something, which is why it confirms, and
why the endpoint acts on a closed list of five verbs rather than on whatever it
is sent.

A PUSH, NOT A POLL. The key is a physical button, so the menu has to be up by
the time the thumb lifts; this screen's fastest poll is 3s and its panels are
15 minutes. sway posts to /auth/lock-power-menu on loopback and the page hears
it over an SSE stream that carries UI signals only -- no content, because it
renders pre-auth and must never become a second way to read anything.

The controller cannot power the phone off itself: it runs as `taos`, whose
logind session is manager-early, and logind answers "challenge" to that user.
A polkit rule granting those two actions was written, installed and MEASURED
NOT TO FIRE -- a probe rule logging unconditionally on every action produced
zero hits, so the rules were not being consulted at all. Rather than keep
guessing at someone else's policy engine, the privileged step is a root systemd
path unit reading a verb from /run/taos-power/request, where it can be read in
full. /etc/sudoers here carries no includedir, so a sudoers drop-in would have
been silently inert -- the "installed but never fires" failure this repo keeps
meeting.

Both arms of that helper were tested on the device: an unknown verb is refused
and logged, and a valid verb dispatches, with the real systemctl calls swapped
for a log line so the handset did not reboot mid-session.

Screenshot is included and currently fails -- grim cannot capture this
compositor. It reports the error text rather than a bare failure, because that
string is the difference between a bug report and a shrug, and it is also the
reason there is still no way to get a picture of this screen.

Docs-Reviewed: the three new routes are console-only (_request_is_console) and
unreachable with an agent token, so the agent-facing surface in
docs/agent-coordination.md is unchanged. They join EXEMPT_PATHS for the same
reason the other lock endpoints do: this screen renders before sign-in.
User-visible behaviour is in changelog.d/3107-lock-power-menu.md.
max-age=300 meant five minutes in which the kiosk ran code that had already
been replaced. That cost real time twice tonight: a fix was deployed, the
service restarted, the page kept running the old script, and the bug looked
unfixed. The second time it was worse -- the stale cache was "ruled out" by
grepping the kiosk's Code Cache for a symbol that existed in BOTH builds, so
the check could only ever answer "present", and an hour went into the view
switcher instead.

no-cache, not no-store: the browser keeps its copy and revalidates, so an
unchanged script still costs only a 304. This screen is iterated against the
glass, so staleness is the expensive failure and revalidation is the cheap one.

Docs-Reviewed: a response header on three existing asset routes. No route,
schema, flag or agent-facing surface changed.
Jay, from the glass: "Power button blurs screen but no buttons show."

`.ls-sheet` rests at translateY(101%) and is pulled up only by CSS rules that
NAME each sheet, while the backdrop blur is driven by a generic
`:not([data-sheet="none"])` selector. The power sheet was never added to that
list, so the chrome reacted and the sheet stayed off screen. Nothing threw,
nothing logged.

That is the same shape as the panels which painted 354 rows while `hidden`: a
new element added to a system whose visibility is a hand-written list of names.
So the test derives the sheet names from sheetEl's own branches and requires a
reveal rule for each -- removing the power line reddens it with the message
"no CSS rule reveals the 'power' sheet: it will open invisibly", which is the
bug in Jay's words.

Also his next one: "if I turn the screen off on the power menu it should also
dismiss the menu". taos-kiosk-power now posts /auth/lock-screen-off as it
powers the panel down, and the page closes the sheet. Fired before the output
goes off, while the page can still act, with a 2s timeout so a wedged
controller can never stop the screen turning off -- the screen is the point,
the dismissal is the courtesy. It closes ONLY the power sheet: a timeout going
dark must not throw away a half-typed PIN.

Docs-Reviewed: one new console-only route (/auth/lock-screen-off), unreachable
with an agent token, so the agent-facing surface in docs/agent-coordination.md
is unchanged. It joins EXEMPT_PATHS like the other lock endpoints. Behaviour is
covered by changelog.d/3107-lock-power-menu.md.
Jay, having tapped it by accident while testing: the shutdown button "also
needs a confirmation dialog". Restart gets the same guard -- on a phone being
demoed, an accidental restart costs the same minute as an accidental shutdown.

All four guarded entries now share one table of confirm notes instead of a
two-way conditional, so adding the third and fourth did not mean nesting
another ternary.

Docs-Reviewed: page behaviour only, no route or schema change.
changelog.d/3107-lock-power-menu.md already describes the menu and its
confirmations.

Jay: "in the stats it should show live demo data for agents cpu, ram and
storage usage".

LIVE is the load-bearing word. The stats view polls every 3 SECONDS, so a fixed
table would sit there dead and read as broken rather than as demo content. Each
agent gets a baseline from a CRC of its NAME -- stable across restarts, because
an agent showing 6% now and 21% after a controller bounce reads as a different
agent -- and on top of that: CPU drifts on a sine with jitter, RAM drifts more
slowly and shallowly, and storage GROWS ONLY. Storage that wobbles downward is
a tell that the number is invented, and it is the one reading here a viewer
might actually reason about.

Names come from the same TAOS_LOCK_DEMO_AGENTS the islands use, not a second
list, so the two cannot disagree about who is running. The total CPU is capped
at 82% so six agents cannot report a phone that is 300% busy next to a real
/proc/stat reading. The key is absent, not zeroed, when demo is off: "no agents
running" and "nothing is measuring agents" are different answers.

Two mutations, both caught by exactly the right test: making the readings
static reddens "the readings move between polls", and making storage wobble
reddens "storage only ever grows".

Also removes the PLACEHOLDERS table and renderPlaceholder. It claimed phone,
mailbox and apps had "no data source yet" -- "Calls and dialler are not wired
up on this device yet" over a panel that now holds ten missed calls -- and it
named a `settings` panel that Projects replaced. Every view has a source now,
and each panel renders its own empty state, which is both honest and specific:
"No missed calls" rather than "not wired up". This was the third instance
tonight of the same shape: behaviour driven by a hand-written list of view
names that a new member was never added to.

Docs-Reviewed: one optional key added to the existing console-only
/auth/lock-stats payload. No new route, no schema or agent-facing change; the
agent-facing surface in docs/agent-coordination.md is untouched.

LEAD REVIEW - CHANGES REQUESTED

(posted as a comment: the REQUEST_CHANGES event 422s because every fleet seat commits as jaylfc, so GitHub reads this as my own PR)

Lead review, as promised, at head d60a44414 (your usage-stats commit included — I re-reviewed after the push landed mid-read; the cancelled shards and the two red roll-ups on 8d8d953d1 are that supersede, not a failure).

This is very good work, and the two things you flagged for my attention are both sound: the closed verb list is a real control, and "vary the STARTING state, not only the input" is the right lesson to take from the mutation. I'm taking that one into my own suites.

One must-fix, one design question that is probably Jay's, and three notes.

MUST-FIX — the four panels are dead on every non-demo device

hidden is cleared in exactly one place: the loop at the top of paintPanels. paintPanels runs only from

.then(function (r) { return r.ok ? r.json() : null; })
.then(function (d) { if (d) paintPanels(d); })

With the flags off, /auth/lock-panels 404s, d is null, and paintPanels never runs. The panels are server-rendered hidden, showView only ever toggles data-off, and this PR deleted renderPlaceholder, which was the only other thing that did host.hidden = false. So on a real device, tapping Phone / Mailbox / Apps / Projects selects the tab and renders nothing at all — not an empty state, blank.

Your own comment inside paintPanels describes this exact mechanism (.ls-feed > [data-view][hidden] holding them at display:none "no matter which tab was selected"). You found it and fixed it on the demo path; the fix lives inside the function the non-demo path never calls.

The tests can't see it, and it's the shape you already named. test_the_demo_flags_off_is_a_404_not_an_empty_payload asserts the docstring's belief — "the client leaves the panels alone and they render their own 'nothing here'" — but the assertion is status_code == 404 and stops there; the client-side consequence is never exercised. test_an_empty_panel_is_shown_rather_than_hidden proves the empty state renders, but via _run([_payload(phone=[])]), which is the 200 path. Flags-on is fully covered; flags-off never reaches the JS harness.

paintPanels({}) on the not-ok branch looks like a clean fix: it unhides the four, paints each empty state, and paintDecisions([]) detaches the decisions head, which is the right outcome on a device with nothing pending. Worth a test that drives the harness through the 404 branch.

Tonight is not blocked — with the flags on, Jay's handset takes the fully-painted path and none of this is reachable.

DESIGN — stop-agents is the one pre-auth verb the hardware key can't already do

poweroff and reboot I accept on your argument: holding the key already powered the phone off from that state, so the menu adds no capability. stop-agents is different — it calls orchestrator.prepare("all", ...), and nothing about holding the hardware key drains every agent on the device.

It also sits against the rule this PR states twice and otherwise keeps. Your agent-menu comment:

⚠ NOTHING HERE ACTS ON THE AGENT. This screen renders BEFORE sign-in, so a "Stop agent" that stopped an agent would let anyone holding the locked phone kill the work on it. The menu collects the INTENT and then asks for the passcode

The decision sheet applies the same rule ("Unlock to approve this"). The power menu doesn't: the confirm is decActs-style in-page, and anyone holding the phone taps confirm. Single-agent stop demands an unlock; stop-all doesn't.

Jay specced the entry and the confirmation, so whether it should also demand the passcode is his call, not mine to impose. Flagging it as the one place the PR's own standard isn't applied — openPasscode before prepare("all") would make it consistent with the other two surfaces.

Related: the lock_panels docstring says the pre-auth action surface was "replaced by projects, which removed that pre-auth exposure rather than relocating it." Within this same PR it was relocated — settings tab to power menu. Same class as the prose I corrected on #3107; the code is fine, the sentence isn't.

NOTES

1. _take_screenshot blocks the event loop. subprocess.run(["grim", path], timeout=15) runs directly in an async handler. It's the only subprocess call in auth.py and there's no to_thread/run_in_executor precedent in the file. Up to 15s with the loop stopped takes the SSE keepalives and every other request with it — on the glass that reads as the phone freezing. await asyncio.to_thread(subprocess.run, ...). Low odds while grim fails fast, but the failure mode is bad and the fix is one line.

2. A slow SSE listener is permanently deafened, not just dropped. _push_lock_event discards the queue on QueueFull, but the generator keeps running: it drains its 8, then blocks on queue.get() forever, still emitting keepalives, never re-registering. The connection looks healthy and the power key silently stops raising the menu until reload. I can see you chose this deliberately and tested it, and at maxsize=8 with one event kind it's unlikely — re-adding on the get timeout would close it if you think it's worth the line.

3. Changelog fragment numbers. 3106-lock-demo-panels.md and 3107-lock-power-menu.md are on PR #3108, and both numbers are live unrelated PRs — #3106 is the Distrust Green Gate fix, #3107 the auth-sentinel fix I merged this evening. Anyone tracing either fragment lands on the wrong change. 3108-agent-usage-stats.md in your latest commit is named correctly. Also minor: the fragment says decisions "can be approved or dismissed without leaving the screen", but a real decision routes to the passcode — which is the correct behaviour, just not what the line promises.

WHAT I'LL DO

Fix the panel-unhide path and I'll merge on green without making you wait again. The rest are yours to take or leave, except the fragment rename, which is free. I'll hold the stop-agents question for Jay rather than block on it.

WARNING: Returning str(exc) exposes raw exception messages to the client.

orchestrator.prepare() failures can leak internal state, stack frames, or dependency error strings. Even on a console-only endpoint, this is a defense-in-depth risk. Return a fixed error string and log the exception server-side instead.

Comment thread tinyagentos/routes/auth.py
Jay: "We need a pull down area from the top of the screen for things like
brightness, implement brightness controls asap please." "things like" is the
brief, so this is a container with one control in it rather than a brightness
dialog -- the next toggle goes beside it without moving anything.

Down from the TOP EDGE only. The veto is what keeps it off the feed: a
downward drag anywhere else is a scroll, and stealing that would make the
panels unusable. 90px is a thumb's reach from the edge on this device's 540px
CSS viewport.

THE WRITE'S OWN RESULT CANNOT BE TRUSTED ON THIS HARDWARE, and that shaped the
endpoint. Measured on the device: writing brightness through a shell reported
"write error: Invalid argument" for three different values in a row while the
level plainly changed -- the final read showed the last value written. The
driver takes the value and errors on close, so the exit status describes the
REQUEST, not the STATE. _write_brightness therefore ignores the write result
and returns a READ-BACK, and the slider displays that rather than what it asked
for.

It also refuses to go fully dark, clamping to 4% of maximum. A slider that
reaches 0 on a phone with no hardware brightness key leaves a screen that is
on, unreadable and looks broken -- and the way back is a control the user can
no longer see.

Throttled at 90ms rather than debounced: a drag fires `input` continuously and
each one is a sysfs write, and debouncing would stop the panel following the
finger, which is the whole feel of a brightness slider. A poll landing mid-drag
does not touch the thumb while it has focus, or it would jump under the finger.

Also, two smaller things Jay asked for in the same stretch: the power menu is a
centred dialog scaling up out of the blur rather than a bottom sheet ("like
iOS") -- which also puts the targets under the thumb from either hand, where a
five-row bottom sheet does not -- and Emergency call is red, carrying the colour
on the whole row rather than the label, because it is the one control on a phone
you should be able to find without reading.

Docs-Reviewed: two console-only routes on the pre-auth lock screen
(/auth/lock-brightness GET and POST), unreachable with an agent token, so the
agent-facing surface in docs/agent-coordination.md is unchanged. They join
EXEMPT_PATHS for the same reason the other lock endpoints do.
Jay: "If I am in a menu like the power menu and turn the screen off, when I
turn the screen back on I see the menu close, it needs close when the screen
turns off not when it turns back on."

The close was already firing at screen-off. The problem is that nothing is
compositing while the panel powers down, so the 340ms transition has nowhere to
run -- it plays on wake instead, and the menu appears to close half a second
after the screen returns, which reads as the phone catching up with itself.

So that one close does not animate. The handler sets data-instant on the
lockscreen and the stylesheet drops the transition while it is set, which puts
the close in the only place it can be invisible: while the screen is dark. The
flag is cleared in openSheet rather than on a timer -- a timer would race the
very transition it is suppressing -- because left set it would make every later
sheet snap open, a fix for one frame that quietly degrades every frame after.

The shade closes this way too now, not just the power menu; "a menu like the
power menu" is both of them. The passcode sheet still does not: a timeout
blanking the panel is not a reason to throw away a half-typed PIN.

Also widens a slice in an older test that read a fixed 400 characters of this
handler. Adding a comment inside the handler pushed closeSheet() past the
window and reddened it for no reason; it now slices to the end of the handler.

Docs-Reviewed: page behaviour and CSS only, no route or schema change.

WARNING: Tautology in assertion — or True makes this check always pass

"passcode" not in handler.split("closeSheet")[0].lower() or True evaluates to True regardless of whether "passcode" appears, so the test never verifies that the passcode sheet is protected from a screen-off close. Remove or True to restore the actual assertion.

WARNING: body.get("level", body.get("percent")) ignores "percent" when "level" is present but null

dict.get(key, default) returns the stored value even if it is None, so a body like {"level": null, "percent": 50} returns 400 instead of using the valid percent. Use body.get("level") if "level" in body else body.get("percent") to fall through correctly.


Reply with @kilocode-bot fix it to have Kilo Code address this issue.

Jay's spec: "if the user presses up it activates the volume slider (doesnt
change volume yet) then they can use both volume buttons to change the volume.
if they press down then a carousel type animation slides out from the left of
the screen where the buttons are with the agents avatars/faces, pressing the
volume buttons up and down cycles them ... holding a volume buttons activates
voice comms with the agent like a walkie talkie."

"Doesn't change volume yet" is the good part of the idea. On a phone with no
on-screen volume, the first press changes a level you cannot see; this makes
the first press the one that SHOWS you what you are about to change.

The compositor reports press and release and decides nothing else. Everything
above is state -- which surface is open, which agent is focused, whether the
reveal press has been spent -- and splitting that between a shell script and
the page would give two places a different idea of whether the bezel is
showing, the first time a key repeat or a dropped event got through.

Keys measured from the capability bitmaps rather than assumed: KEY_VOLUMEDOWN
is pmic_resin/event1 and KEY_VOLUMEUP is gpio-keys/event2, and the headset jack
reports both -- which is why sway binds the keysym, not a device.

The bezel sits on the RIGHT because that is the side the rocker is on, and the
carousel comes from the LEFT because Jay asked for it "where the buttons are".
Neither takes a sheet slot: nudging the volume must not dismiss an open menu,
and neither may cover the passcode keypad someone is typing a PIN into.

The walkie-talkie is MOCK, as Jay asked. No getUserMedia, no recorder, nothing
sent, and "(demo)" stays on screen while it is held. A test asserts the absence
of the call syntax rather than trusting the comment -- scoped to this feature,
because the script is NOT mic-free: the pre-existing #ls-voice sheet does call
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({audio: true}) and is reachable from the
lock screen. Asserting that away here would have quietly taken responsibility
for someone else's microphone.

⚠ VOLUME HAS NOTHING BEHIND IT ON THIS HANDSET RIGHT NOW. PipeWire answers and
reports 1.00, but `wpctl status` lists no Devices, no Sinks and no Sources in
either session -- so setting the level succeeds and makes nothing louder. The
endpoint reports `no_sink` and the bezel says "No audio output" rather than
pretending, on the same principle as the screenshot entry that admits grim
cannot capture this compositor.

Docs-Reviewed: three console-only routes on the pre-auth lock screen
(/auth/lock-volume GET and POST, /auth/lock-volume-key), unreachable with an
agent token, so docs/agent-coordination.md is unchanged. They join EXEMPT_PATHS
for the same reason the other lock endpoints do.

🟠 Major · Paint the empty panels after a demo-disabled response. · auth.py:4187

tinyagentos/routes/auth.py:4187
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Paint the empty panels after a demo-disabled response.

When /auth/lock-panels returns 404, d becomes null, so paintPanels does not run. The server-rendered phone, mailbox, apps, and projects panels remain hidden. paintPanels({}) is compatible with all panel painters because each painter defaults missing data to an empty array. Add a client-side regression test for this 404 path.

Proposed fix
-        .then(function (d) { if (d) paintPanels(d); })
+        .then(function (d) { paintPanels(d || {}); })

The volume-key commit went in with five tests red. I chained the test run and
the commit with && in one command, so the commit never depended on the tests
passing and the failures scrolled past above it. That is a process fault, not
an accident of timing: the run and the gate have to be separate steps.

Two real causes, both mine, and both the same shape -- source that is valid
JavaScript but breaks the text-level extractors the tests navigate by.

1. A REGEX LITERAL CONTAINING A QUOTE. `/["\\]/g` sanitised the avatar URL.
   _balanced() is quote-aware but not regex-aware, so the quote inside the
   literal opened a string that never closed and the capture ran off the end of
   the file: "SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input". Replaced with split/join.

2. A NAME COLLISION WITH ANOTHER TEST'S ANCHOR. test_lock_screen_views.py finds
   the island press machinery by searching for its hold constant's declaration.
   I declared a second one of the same name earlier in the script, so it sliced
   from mine. Renamed to PTT_HOLD_MS.

   The first fix for that one introduced the bug a third time: the comment
   explaining the collision spelled the other name out, and the search found the
   comment. A landmark another file navigates by is part of the interface
   whether it was meant to be or not -- including when you are writing about it.

Three times tonight a comment has matched a matcher: this, plus two assertions
in test_lock_power_menu.py that caught their own prose ("No getUserMedia..." and
"re-fetching would..."). Those now match call syntax -- ".getUserMedia(" and
"fetch(" -- rather than bare words.

275 tests green. The two that remained red on the last full run were
subprocess.TimeoutExpired from node, on a box at load average 98; the suite
passes when it is not fighting for the CPU.

Docs-Reviewed: a variable rename and a string-sanitisation change inside the
lock screen script, plus test scoping. No route, schema or behaviour change.

Show empty panels when demo content is disabled. When /auth/lock-panels returns 404, pollPanels() converts the response to null and skips paintPanels(). The server-rendered panels can therefore remain hidden instead of showing their empty states. Call paintPanels({}) for the unsuccessful response and add a client-side regression test.

Jay: "left edge thumb pivot around the button". I had built a vertical strip --
his first description was "slides out from the left of the screen where the
buttons are", and the keys move linearly, so a column read as the literal
answer. It was not the shape he wanted.

The faces now sit on an arc swept from the left edge at the rocker's height.
The thumb stays on the button and the agents come to it, which is the point of
pivoting there rather than centring the arc on the screen.

The arc ROTATES under a fixed pointer rather than a marker travelling along it:
the focused face is always at 0deg, straight out from the pivot and level with
the thumb, and cycling swings the others past. A marker that moved instead
would walk the selection away from the button the thumb is resting on, which is
the one thing this layout exists to avoid.

Two details that are easy to get wrong here. Each face carries a double
rotation -- to its angle, out along the radius, then back by the same angle --
because without the second one the avatars tilt with the curve, and a ring of
tilted faces reads as a rendering fault rather than a style. And the offset
wraps the SHORT way round, so passing the end of six agents does not send a
face the long way across the arc.

--ls-car-pivot (34%) is where the rocker is, and it is A GUESS, not a
measurement: unlike the camera cutout there is no vendor file giving the
button's position, so this is the one number here that wants a human to look at
it. It is a single custom property, so nudging it is a one-line change.

Docs-Reviewed: CSS and page layout only. No route, schema or behaviour change;
the carousel's behaviour and its mock push-to-talk are unchanged.
Jay: 'you could implement switches for Bluetooth and WiFi etc for the pull down
quick settings panel'.

Both go through the root drop box the power menu already uses, because the
obstacle is the same one twice: the controller runs as taos, and that user is
refused. logind answers 'challenge' to CanPowerOff; NetworkManager answers 'no'
to enable-disable-wifi, measured with 'nmcli general permissions'; and
/dev/rfkill carries an ACL for taos whose mask leaves it unwritable. One drop
box with one closed verb list is easier to audit than a second mechanism
solving the same problem differently.

State is READ from whatever owns it -- Wi-Fi from NetworkManager, Bluetooth
from rfkill -- so a switch can never show a state its own write would not
produce. Bluetooth counts a HARD block as off, because a physical kill switch
is not something software can clear and a switch that ignored it would lie.

The switches are optimistic and then corrected by the read-back: a radio takes
a moment to come up, and one that did not move until it had would feel broken,
while one that reported what it ASKED for would lie when the radio refused.
Unknown is not off: if the reading fails the button is disabled rather than
shown convincingly in a state nobody measured.

⚠ wifi-off can cut the only route to a headless handset -- the tailnet rides on
it and USB is disconnected. That is correct for a switch a PERSON flicks, and
is exactly why the verb list is closed and nothing automated writes it.

Docs-Reviewed: one console-only route pair on the pre-auth lock screen
(/auth/lock-radios GET and POST), unreachable with an agent token, so
docs/agent-coordination.md is unchanged.
The switches shipped in the previous commit without tests. Added here with the
mutations that prove them, since a switch is exactly the kind of control that
looks right while doing nothing.

- Reporting the REQUEST instead of the read-back: mutated, reddens
  "the answer is the read back not the request", which asks for wifi ON while
  the reader insists it is OFF and requires the refusal to win.
- Ignoring a HARD block: mutated, reddens the hard-block test. A physical kill
  switch is not something software can clear, so a switch that ignored it would
  show on and do nothing.

Also asserts the verb each switch writes, because what lands in that file is
the contract with the root helper, and that unknown is not off -- an unreadable
radio disables the button rather than showing a state nobody measured.

Verified on the device, not only in tests: Bluetooth really toggled (rfkill
reported "blocked" and back), a bad radio name was refused with 400, and wifi
was exercised only in the ON direction -- turning it off would have cut the
tailnet, which is the only route to the handset with USB disconnected.

Docs-Reviewed: tests and a changelog fragment only.

🟠 Major · Render the empty panels after a disabled-demo response. · auth.py:4359

tinyagentos/routes/auth.py:4359
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Render the empty panels after a disabled-demo response.

When /auth/lock-panels returns 404, the response parser produces null, so this callback skips paintPanels. The Phone, Mailbox, Apps, and Projects panels start with hidden set and the view switcher does not clear it. They therefore cannot render their empty states.

Call paintPanels(d || {}) here and add a client-side test for the non-OK response path.

+        .then(function (d) { paintPanels(d || {}); })

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Terminate a listener when removing its full queue.

When queue.put_nowait(kind) raises asyncio.QueueFull, _push_lock_event() removes the queue but does not terminate stream(). The generator continues waiting on queue.get() and emits only keepalives, so the connected EventSource receives neither later power-menu or screen-off events nor a closed connection. Its automatic reconnect runs only after the connection closes.

Make queue removal also close or cancel the corresponding stream, or wake the generator with a termination signal so it exits and lets EventSource reconnect.

… screen

Jay, from the glass: "holding to talk doesnt work, it moves to the next agent
and then starts input capture."

Exactly what the code did. The press branch advanced the selection immediately
and the hold timer fired 600ms later on top of it, so one hold did both things.
A press cannot be classified until it ENDS, so while the arc is open a press
now only starts the clock; the cycle happens on release, and only when the
release decides the press was a tap.

`pressWasHold` carries the case where the hold fired but talking did not take
-- the arc closed under it, say. Without it that release reads as a tap and
advances the selection, which is the same bug wearing a different hat.

The bezel still nudges on PRESS. Hold has no second meaning there, and a volume
key that waited for the release would feel laggy in the one place people expect
it to be immediate.

Mutation: putting the cycle back on the press reddens exactly one test, whose
name is the bug.

Also, the blur Jay asked for: opening the arc blurs .lockscreen and raises the
scrim. It earns its place rather than being decoration -- the faces are small,
low-contrast circles over a feed of cards and text, and the focused one is hard
to pick out without separation, which is the one thing a chooser driven by a
physical key has to get right because your eye is not already on the screen.
Applied to .lockscreen, a SIBLING of both the arc and the scrim, so neither is
blurred with it. Cleared on hide, and the scrim is only taken away when no
sheet is using it -- a sheet keeps it up through its own rule, and hiding the
element would pull the dim out from under an open menu.

Two older tests sliced this function to its first `return;`. The from-rest
block now returns early for the up case, so that landmark cut the carousel arm
off; they slice to the end of the block instead.

Docs-Reviewed: page behaviour and CSS only. No route, schema or agent-facing
change.
Jay: "we need the rotary chooser to remember its position, so a person can
leave their most used agent ready in walking talkie mode. Might be best to have
them auto arrange in order of last used too."

Those two pull against each other, so they are kept as separate state.
Remembering the position gives predictability; ordering by recency gives short
paths but shifts the arrangement between openings. They agree when the agent
you parked on is the one you last used, and diverge when you park on one
without talking to it -- which is the case that decides the design.

KEYED BY NAME, NEVER BY INDEX. Agents come and go and the reordering moves
them, so a remembered index would quietly point at a different face: the kind
of bug that looks like the feature working until it picks the wrong agent. A
remembered agent that has gone falls back to the front of the arc.

The order is computed ONCE when the arc opens and held while it is up.
Re-sorting on every repaint would shuffle the faces under the thumb between one
key press and the next; an agent that appears mid-session goes on the end
rather than reshuffling what is on screen.

Last-used is recorded when a transmission STARTS, not on focus. Recording focus
would mean cycling past six agents to reach one rewrote the whole order on the
way there. Ties keep the islands' own order, so agents never talked to stay in
the arrangement already visible behind the arc.

localStorage, because the kiosk profile is persistent, so this survives a
restart without giving a pre-auth screen a write path to the server. Every read
and write is wrapped: it throws in a private context and can come back empty,
and nothing here is worth failing a keypress over.

ON THE TESTS, because the first pass was not good enough. Two mutations were
caught -- reversing the tie order, and recording last-used on focus. A third
SURVIVED: letting the restore run and then writing carIndex = 0 after it left
all 69 green, because those tests assert the restore MECHANISM exists, not that
its result survives to the paint. Presence is not effect, which is the same
shape as the repair path 63 assertions missed earlier. There is now a test that
reads the span between the restore and the paint and requires nothing to touch
carIndex in it; it reddens under that mutation.

(My first attempt at that mutation was a no-op -- a redundant carIndex = 0
BEFORE the restore loop -- and I nearly recorded a survivor that was not one.)

Docs-Reviewed: page behaviour only, no route, schema or agent-facing change.
…dialog

Jay: "currently to go to the last used agent on the rotary I have to press
volume up, can you change it so it's on volume down."

Flipped, but not by swapping the keys alone. Lower indices are the more
recently used agents and they were rendered ABOVE the pointer, so
volume-down brought up the face below -- spatially right, but walking away from
the agent he wants. Swapping only the key mapping would have fixed the
destination and broken the direction of travel: "down" would have moved the
ring upward.

So both moved together. The arc's angles are negated, putting recent agents
BELOW the pointer, and down walks toward them. Volume-down now heads to the
last used agent AND still means down on the glass.

Also, the microphone on an agent island: "instead of a slide up menu at the
bottom can we have a dialog in the centre of the screen against a blur effect".
It now uses the same .ls-modal shell as the power menu, so the two modal
surfaces on this screen read as one design rather than two. The grabber went
with the sheet -- it was the affordance for dragging a sheet down, and there is
nothing to drag.

The reveal rule moved with it, and this is where the test written for the power
menu earned its keep: it derives the sheet names from sheetEl's own branches, so
converting `voice` from a sheet to a modal was covered without anyone
remembering to come back. Removing the new rule reddens it with "no CSS rule
reveals the 'voice' sheet: it will open invisibly" -- the same bug Jay found by
hand on the power menu, now caught before it reaches the glass.

Docs-Reviewed: page layout and CSS only. No route, schema or agent-facing
change. ⚠ Unchanged and still worth raising: this dialog calls
getUserMedia({audio: true}) and is reachable from the pre-sign-in lock screen.
Restyling it does not alter that, and it predates this branch.
Three of Jay's, which turn out to be one design.

"The phone is registering volume button presses when screen is off." It was:
the keys are bound --locked so they work while the panel is down, so a press
reached the page and acted where nobody could see it.

"Maybe we should enable the rotary menu when screen is off. It will look nice
against the black oled screen." So rather than suppress the press, it now wakes
the panel and draws the arc over BLACK -- the lock screen is hidden, not
blurred. On OLED an unlit pixel emits nothing, so the faces sit on real black;
a blurred lock screen would still be a lit photograph of one.

"We should figure out the ambient light sensor so we can stop the button
triggering in pocket etc." The sensors are there and live -- iio-sensor-proxy
reports HasAmbientLight and HasProximity, and monitor-sensor showed real lux
readings changing with tilt.

BUT THE GATE IS PROXIMITY, NOT LIGHT, and that is a correction to the ask. A
pocket is dark AND near; a dark bedroom at 2am is dark and NOT near. Gating on
darkness would refuse the keys in exactly the conditions a phone is most likely
to be used in bed. Proximity separates the two, so light is not consulted.

It fails OPEN. A gate that swallowed every press whenever iio-sensor-proxy was
down would be a phone whose volume keys silently stopped working, which is
worse than an occasional pocket wake.

taos-sensord holds a CLAIM on the sensors, because iio-sensor-proxy only polls
while claimed: its properties are readable unclaimed, but what they return is
whatever was last read, and a stale "not near" lets every pocket press through
while looking exactly like a gate that does not work. A claim lives with the
claiming connection, so busctl cannot hold one; monitor-sensor is the only
thing on this image that claims and stays, and it is used as a claim holder
with its output discarded.

Also: "the first click of the volume down should not rotate the menu just make
it appear." The arc opens on the press, and by the time that press was RELEASED
the arc was open -- so the release handler cycled it and the menu appeared
already one agent along. Same shape as the hold bug: a press that acted on the
way down must not act again on the way up. Mutation reddens one test.

And SSE events now carry a payload instead of encoding state in the event NAME.
The screen state would have turned four volume events into eight, with every
further dimension doubling it again.

Verified on the device: panel off, proximity false, volume-down -> panel on.

Docs-Reviewed: /auth/lock-volume-key gains one optional body field on an
existing console-only route. No new route, no schema change, and the
agent-facing surface in docs/agent-coordination.md is unchanged.
Jay: "when i activate the rotary menu with the screen off the lock screen
flashes into view first, it breaks the visual appeal."

That was an ORDERING fault, not a CSS one. The compositor woke the panel and
THEN told the page, so a genuinely lit frame of the whole lock screen was on
screen before the page could hide it. No amount of easing hides a real frame.

Reversed: the page is told first, given 150ms to apply it, and the panel comes
up after -- so the first lit frame is already the arc on black. Measured on the
device by sampling the output state while the script ran: off at t+50 and
t+100, on by t+150.

The 150ms is the page's paint, not padding. curl returns once the controller has
pushed the event, which is before the browser has painted it, and a frame or two
at 60Hz needs room. It is imperceptible against a panel that was dark anyway.

Then the emergence Jay asked for: "an appear effect like fading into view out of
the deep black oled display."

Slower and softer than the lit-screen case, deliberately. Over a blurred lock
screen the arc only has to arrive; over true black it is the ONLY thing on the
panel, the eye follows it completely, and a 200ms snap reads as another flash.

Three details that make it read as emerging rather than switching on. The scale
grows from the PIVOT, so it unfurls from under the thumb -- the pivot is the
conceit of this layout and the animation should say so. The opacity curve starts
shallow, because off true black the first few percent of brightness is the most
visible step an OLED has and a linear fade shows a hard edge appearing. And the
faces arrive just behind the ring with the banner last: text arriving first on a
black screen is what makes an animation feel like a page load.

The tests compare the durations as NUMBERS rather than trusting the comments --
the dark fade must be longer than the lit one, and the banner's delay longer
than the faces'.

Docs-Reviewed: CSS and one compositor script's ordering. No route, schema or
agent-facing change.
Jay, twice: "the lock screen still flashes into view first." My first fix was
the wrong half of the problem, and the evidence to know that was already in
hand.

THE PAGE CANNOT PAINT WHILE THE OUTPUT IS OFF. Wayland stops delivering frame
callbacks to a surface on a powered-down output. That is the same fact behind
the earlier bug where the power menu's close ANIMATION played on wake instead
of while dark -- I fixed that symptom by suppressing the transition and did not
join it up. So telling the page before waking changed nothing that could be
seen: the DOM updated, nothing painted, and the panel lit showing the frame
still sitting in the scanout buffer -- the lock screen exactly as it was when
the screen went off. The flash was a real frame, one blank old.

The only frame a waking panel can show is the last one painted BEFORE it
blanked. So that frame is now black: taos-kiosk-screen blackens the page while
a compositor is still listening, waits 120ms for it to actually paint, and only
then powers the output down. Every blanking path goes through that script --
the idle timeout as well as the power key -- so the duplicate POST in
taos-kiosk-power is gone.

On the way back the page is told again and fades up out of black, which is both
nicer than snapping on and the same motion the arc uses.

THE SAFETY NET MATTERS MORE THAN THE EFFECT. A page left black on a lit panel
is indistinguishable from a broken phone, so touchstart, keydown and pointerdown
all clear it -- and input is precisely what is happening when someone is
looking at a screen they expected to show something. The arc is excluded,
because black is the point there.

Docs-Reviewed: one new console-only route (/auth/lock-screen-on), the pair to
the existing lock-screen-off, unreachable with an agent token; it joins
EXEMPT_PATHS for the same reason the other lock endpoints do.
docs/agent-coordination.md is unchanged.
Jay: "after using the rotary menu instead of the screen going off it shows the
lock screen background grey."

Two faults in one symptom. data-blanked was never cleared -- the screen-on
handler deliberately skips it while the arc is up, and nothing else did it --
so the lock screen stayed at opacity 0 and what showed through was the page
body. That is the grey.

And clearing it would still have been the wrong answer. The screen was OFF
before the arc was summoned, so it should be off after; revealing a lock screen
nobody asked for is a different bug wearing the first one's clothes.

So a close that followed a dark summon keeps the page black. That returns the
screen to dark WITHOUT the page needing a way to power the panel down, which it
has no business having: on OLED a black frame emits nothing, so it reads as
off, and swayidle blanks the panel properly a moment later -- the volume key
re-armed the watcher, so that timer is already running.

wasDark is captured before carDark is reset in the same function. Reading it
afterwards would always take the ordinary branch and the fix would silently do
nothing; a mutation that does exactly that reddens three tests.

Mutating the other half -- leaving data-blanked set on every close, which is
the bug Jay reported -- reddens the arm that requires an ordinary close to
restore the lock screen.

Docs-Reviewed: page behaviour only. No route, schema or agent-facing change.
Jay, a third time: "the grey screen still shows after the rotary closes, it
even flashes sometimes on rotary start/open."

I had been moving the transparent layer around and never looked underneath it.
`body` carries a dark GREY GRADIENT (#141415 -> #202024) for the ordinary
sign-in card, and .lockscreen has no background of its own. Hiding a
transparent layer over grey shows grey. That is the grey after a close, and the
flash on open is the frame where the lock screen was hidden and the black scrim
had not painted yet.

Part of why it went unnoticed: the gradient lives in _AUTH_BASE_STYLE, a
stylesheet none of the lock-screen work touches. I was reading the lock screen's
own sheet and finding nothing, which was true and useless.

So the body goes black in the SAME style recalculation as the lock screen
hiding, leaving no frame in between for the gradient to appear in. One helper
owns both, because two flags for one visual state is how a grey frame got in to
begin with, and a test walks every data-blanked change requiring a paired call.
Specificity carries it -- body.ls-black beats body, and the gradient has no
!important -- which matters because the lock sheet is served BEFORE the base
sheet, so order alone would lose.

Also: "the last used agent isnt always the first one in the list." `used` was
only written when a transmission STARTED, so parking on an agent without
holding to talk left the order untouched and it did not come first next time.
Parking now counts as using, recorded once on CLOSE -- not per step, or cycling
past six agents to reach one would rewrite the order on the way through, which
is why it was on talk-only in the first place.

Docs-Reviewed: CSS and page behaviour only. No route, schema or agent-facing
change.
Jay: "if i PRESS the volume down to reveal the menu but dont use it, it then
leaves me on the lock screen. the screen should be off." And, again, "the last
used agent isnt always the first one in the list."

One cause, and it made TWO of my earlier fixes inert. hideAll removed
data-on at the top and then asked, further down, whether data-on was set -- so
the branch recording the parked agent could never run. The code was present, in
the right order by text, and unable to fire. My test asserted that ordering and
was satisfied by exactly the text that could not execute.

That is presence-not-effect for the second time on this feature, and the same
shape as the repair path 63 assertions missed. It is the reason "the last used
agent isn't first" survived a fix that looked correct.

Both reads now happen before anything is dismantled, and the test asserts that
directly: every read must come before the first removeAttribute in the
function. A mutation that restores the old order reddens it.

Darkness is also read off the ELEMENT rather than the carDark variable. The
attribute is what the stylesheet acted on, so it cannot disagree with what is
on screen, and no other path can clear it early -- which is what let a reveal-
and-ignore leave the lock screen up.

Docs-Reviewed: page behaviour only. No route, schema or agent-facing change.
…keyboard

Jay: "the same after changing the volume with the screen off, when the volume
slider goes away im left at the lock screen instead of screen off."

The same fault as the arc, one surface over. "Was this summoned from a dark
panel" was being inferred from data-radial, which ONLY THE ARC sets -- so a
volume-only session read as "not dark" and the close revealed the lock screen.
Worse, the screen-on handler also asked about the arc alone, so the lock screen
appeared behind the slider the instant the panel woke.

The fact now lives in data-fromdark, set in the shared from-rest branch before
either surface is chosen, and read by both handlers. On the element rather than
in a variable because two separate handlers need the answer and an attribute
cannot drift from what is on screen -- the same reasoning that fixed the arc.
Mutating the wake back to asking about the arc reddens the test named for it.

Separately, Jay: "the thread slides up, then the keybard appears and pushes
that app creating almost a jerkiness motion. can the message thread and keybard
not be linked so they slide up as one animation?"

They were two motions because the keyboard's height was not KNOWN until it had
rendered: the sheet slid up over 380ms against --ls-kb:0, the OSK appeared, the
ResizeObserver measured it, and the sheet's `bottom` animated a second time.
Neither animation was wrong; the first simply ran against a number that was not
final yet.

So the last measured height is remembered and applied before the sheet is
revealed, and its one transform lands where it will finally sit. Cached in
localStorage because the height is a property of the device and its layout, not
of a visit -- so it is right on the first open after a restart, which is when a
demo gets looked at. Only real measurements are cached; caching the zero set on
close would defeat it on the very next open. Any residual difference is a few
pixels and the existing `bottom` transition absorbs it, which is also what
handles the keyboard switching layers.

Docs-Reviewed: page behaviour and CSS only. No route, schema or agent-facing
change.
Jay: "the ordering of recently used needs reversing so i can press down to get
to my second most used agent quickly using the volume down button."

A consequence of two earlier decisions rather than a free choice. The arc opens
focused on the most recently used agent, and volume-down decrements the index
-- so with the most recent at the FRONT of the arc, down had nowhere to go but
round the back to the least used one. With it at the END, down walks most-used
-> second -> third, which is the order a thumb actually reaches for, and up
goes back the way it came.

The ring on screen is the same either way; what changed is which direction the
rocker travels through it. So the SORT moved and the key mapping did not, and a
test pins the key mapping for that reason: flipping both would put the bug back
with two wrongs cancelling into the same wrong, and the mutation that does
exactly that reddens one test rather than passing quietly.

Ties still keep the islands' own order. Agents never talked to all share
used=0, and without a stable tie they would shuffle on every open.

Docs-Reviewed: one comparator in the page script. No route, schema or
agent-facing change.
Jay: "if i change volume with screen off after using the rotary menu the rotary
menu flashes up first and vice versa."

The symmetry was the tell -- whichever surface was used LAST is the one that
flashed -- and it is the scanout buffer for the third time on this feature.
data-blanked hides .lockscreen, but the bezel and the arc are SIBLINGS of it,
not children, so hiding the lock screen was never going to reach them. A panel
that blanked while one was up left a last painted frame of black WITH that
surface still on it, and that is what the next wake showed, before the new
surface could paint.

So blanking now dismisses them, and dismisses them INSTANTLY: a 200ms fade has
nowhere to go on a panel that powers down 120ms later, and an unfinished fade
is exactly the half-lit ghost being described. data-instant already existed for
the sheets and only ever covered the sheets, which is the same omission in a
different costume.

Ordering matters twice here and both are asserted: data-instant before hideAll,
or the fade still runs; and blackness after hideAll, because hideAll decides
blackness for itself and would undo a value set before it.

Also widens a test that sliced 400 characters from a CSS rule -- adding the
volume selectors pushed "transition: none" out of its window. It slices to the
closing brace now. That is the fifth fixed-length slice in this file to break
on code growing inside it.

Docs-Reviewed: page behaviour and CSS only. No route, schema or agent-facing
change.
Jay: "sometimes after using the radial dial and it times out im still being
sent to the lock screen instead of screen off, can we not have a rule, if
opened from standby, back to standby."

That rule was already the intent. What was wrong was the definition of
standby: it came from the COMPOSITOR -- whether the output was powered -- and
the two facts come apart.

After a dark session the page is left BLACK while the panel is still ON,
because swayidle has not reached its timeout yet. A second summon inside that
window asked the compositor, got "panel is on", and treated it as an awake
summon: the arc opened blurred over a lock screen nobody could see, and the
close revealed it. That window is why it was "sometimes" and not "always",
which is exactly the shape of a race and should have pointed here sooner.

So standby now means THE PAGE WAS BLACK, which the page already knows. Its own
state decides and the compositor's hint is a fallback -- still needed for the
first summon after a controller restart, when the page has never seen a
screen-off event.

carDark follows the same decision. Left on the compositor's hint alone the arc
would blur instead of going dark, and the close would reveal the lock screen --
the same bug, one layer along.

Mutating the decision back to the compositor alone reddens two tests.

Docs-Reviewed: page behaviour only. No route, schema or agent-facing change.
Jay: "either side of the swipe to unlock bar/text we need a flashlight toggle
and a camera shortcut."

The torch is real and needs no root helper, unlike the radios: this handset's
LED node is world-writable (root:feedbackd, rw-rw-rw-), measured before relying
on it, so the controller drives /sys/class/leds/*/brightness as itself. The
node is DISCOVERED rather than hardcoded -- it is `white:flash` here, but that
name is the driver's and another kernel would choose differently.

It runs at 40% of maximum, deliberately. This is a CAMERA FLASH LED being held
on continuously, which is not what the part is for, and whether this driver
limits the current is not something the code can see. 40% is plainly a torch
and well inside what the LED will take indefinitely.

Both buttons sit OUTSIDE the unlock button rather than within it, so a tap
meant for the torch can never be read as a swipe toward the keypad. Lit, the
torch inverts to white-on-dark the way every phone does, so its state is
unmistakable from the corner of the eye in a dark room -- which is the state
that matters, since the torch is the one control here someone reaches for
precisely when they cannot see.

⚠ THE CAMERA SHORTCUT HAS NOTHING TO OPEN, and says so. Measured: no
megapixels, no snapshot, no camera binary, and libcamera reports no sensor for
/dev/media0 even though /dev/video* exist. It shows "No camera app yet" for a
moment instead of pretending, on the same rule the emergency-call entry and the
screenshot action follow -- a shortcut that silently does nothing is worse than
one that admits it, because the user retries it.

Docs-Reviewed: two console-only routes on the pre-auth lock screen
(/auth/lock-torch GET and POST), unreachable with an agent token, so
docs/agent-coordination.md is unchanged.

…tale

## The four panels are blank, not empty, on a device without demo content

`hidden` is cleared in exactly one place -- the loop at the top of paintPanels
-- and paintPanels ran only on the `r.ok` branch. With the demo flags off
/auth/lock-panels 404s, `d` is null, the call never happens, and the panels stay
server-rendered `hidden`. showView only toggles `data-off`, and this branch had
already deleted renderPlaceholder, the one other thing that set `hidden = false`.
So on every real device, tapping Phone, Mailbox, Apps or Projects rendered
nothing at all.

pollPanels now paints on every branch: `paintPanels(d || {})`, with the catch
folded in ahead of it so a dead network takes the same path as a 404.

The deeper fault was in the tests. Every case in test_lock_demo_panels.py began
at `_payload()`, the 200 path; the flags-off path was asserted as far as
`status_code == 404` and its client half -- "the panels render their own
nothing-here" -- was never run. It was not true. A second driver now drives
pollPanels with a RESPONSE rather than paintPanels with a payload: a 404, a
rejected fetch, and the 200 case that must still paint content.
test_the_harness_observes_the_skip puts the old branch back and requires them
red. Mutation on the shipped source (paintPanels(d || {}) -> if (d)
paintPanels(d)): four red, and the two that stay green are the 200 case and the
control.

## "Stop all agents" demands the passcode

Jay's ruling. The rule was already written on this screen twice -- the agent
menu "collects the INTENT and then asks for the passcode", the decision sheet
says "Unlock to approve this" -- and the power menu was the one place it was not
applied: stopping a single agent demanded an unlock, stopping all of them did
not. requirePasscodeForPower records the intent, writes "Unlock to stop all
agents" into #ls-unlock-note and raises the keypad, so the drain happens as the
signed-in user.

The verb is gated, not removed: _POWER_ACTIONS still carries it and the route
still answers it once a session exists. poweroff and reboot are untouched --
holding the hardware key already took the phone down from this screen, so the
menu adds nothing there, and the key cannot drain every agent on the device.

It does NOT closeSheet() first: openSheet already hides the sheet that is up,
and closing first leaves closeSheet's 400ms hide to find data-sheet already
"passcode" and bail, so the power sheet would sit in the tree behind the keypad.
It repaints the menu, because the confirm REPLACED the row.

Tested by driving the menu rather than grepping the script. Two mutations: gate
deleted -> four red with the poweroff case still green; gate widened to every
verb -> only the poweroff case red. That asymmetry is the assertion.

## The alerts tests were left asserting content this branch moved

3104fc3 moved mail, X, SMS and phone out of Alerts on Jay's instruction, and
two tests in test_onscreen_keyboard.py still demanded those stacks -- red on
this branch before any of the above. They now assert the rule Jay actually
asked for, both halves: Alerts carries what nothing else can, AND carries
nothing a panel owns, read off _demo_panels() rather than a hand-typed list.

## Also

lock_panels' docstring said the pre-auth action surface was "removed... rather
than relocating it". This PR relocates and gates it; the sentence now says so.
The shared DOM stand-in stored the parent link as `parent` only, so
`el.parentNode` was undefined inside it: paintDecisions' "step out of the alerts
panel" never ran there and the re-attach guard was true unconditionally. Both
read as working. parentNode is now an alias of parent.
Changelog fragments renumbered 3106/3107 -> 3108.

Docs-Reviewed: no route, flag or schema changed -- the fixes are in the served
lock-screen script, one docstring sentence and the tests. changelog.d carries
the fragment.
Jay: "wire it up to the lock screen button". The button shipped earlier in this
PR saying "No camera app yet", which was true then. It is not any more --
taos-camerad serves a camera app and taos-app-launch opens it in its own
window, on its own workspace, so it covers the lock screen the way a camera
shortcut does on any phone.

A page cannot start a process, so the button goes through the root drop box the
power menu already uses. That helper's own argument is why it lands there
rather than in a second mechanism: one box with one closed list of verbs is
easier to audit than two mechanisms solving the same problem differently.

_LOCK_APPS is a closed MAP, name -> verb, and it is deliberately NOT part of
_POWER_ACTIONS. What reaches root is never a string the page supplied, and the
power menu's five verbs stay five, which is what @taOS-dev asked for. Opening
an app shares the privileged channel, not the vocabulary.

The pre-auth question is answered in the route's docstring rather than left
implied: a camera reachable from a locked phone is what every phone does, and
taOS's camera app shows a viewfinder and the photos taken from it. It is not a
door into a signed-in user's files, because at this point there is no signed-in
user.

The honest failure note stays, for the same reason it existed when there was no
app: a shortcut that silently does nothing is worse than one that admits it.

Mutations: writing the app name instead of the verb breaks only the drop-box
assertion; accepting an unlisted app breaks only the refusal case, which tries
"poweroff" and "app-camera" among others -- a handler that passed its input
through would hand root a power verb from a locked screen.

Docs-Reviewed: one new console-only route beside the existing lock-screen ones,
no schema or flag change; changelog.d carries the fragment.

Lead review of d60a44414..5a5d89a20 — the 23 commits added while blocked. Reviewed. lead-blocked is coming off. One required change, and CI is already red on it.

I said the label was staying for ~3.7k lines of unreviewed new pre-auth surface. That is now reviewed, so the reason is discharged and I have removed the label. I am not asking for another round on the features.

The pre-auth question, checked route by route

Seven new paths joined EXEMPT_PATHS: lock-screen-on, lock-brightness, lock-torch, lock-volume, lock-volume-key, lock-radios, lock-app. I read every handler behind them rather than trusting the set. All seven open with _request_is_console(...) → 403, so the threat model is "someone is holding the phone", which is the right one for a lock screen.

What I specifically went looking for, and did not find:

  • An agent reachable pre-auth. The arc, the mic and the chat sheet were the obvious escalation: a stranger dictating to an agent that can drive the OS. send() never posts anywhere — it appends a bubble, and outside demo mode it deliberately does not invent a reply. /auth/lock-thread/<slug> refuses to read the chat store at all and 404s with demo off. That is the correct answer and the comment says why.
  • An open verb reaching root. lock-app maps a page-supplied name through the closed _LOCK_APPS (camera only) and lock-radios through the closed _RADIO_VERBS; the string that reaches the drop box is never the string the page sent. set_lock_radios also validates isinstance(want, bool) before the tuple lookup, so there is no KeyError path into a 500.
  • A switch that lies. set_lock_radios returns _read_radios() after the helper has had its moment rather than echoing the request. That is the right call and the docstring's reasoning for it is the reasoning I would have asked for.

The Wi-Fi-off-cuts-a-headless-handset tradeoff is argued in the docstring rather than glossed, the verb list is closed, and nothing automated writes it. I accept it.

The one required change — and it is what CI is failing on

shards (3.13, 2) is red (test (3.12) / test (3.13) are roll-ups of it; the other shards are fail-fast cancellations, not independent failures). 31 check runs at 5a5d89a20, 19 success, 3 failure, 7 cancelled, 2 skipped.

tests/test_config_atomic.py::test_no_module_outside_atomic_io_hand_rolls_temp_plus_replace
  tinyagentos/routes/auth.py:8501: os.replace(tmp, _POWER_REQUEST)   # set_lock_radios
  tinyagentos/routes/auth.py:8861: os.replace(tmp, _POWER_REQUEST)   # lock_power_action
  tinyagentos/routes/auth.py:8981: os.replace(tmp, _POWER_REQUEST)   # lock_app

Use atomic_io.atomic_write_text(Path(_POWER_REQUEST), verb) at all three. This is not the guard being pedantic at your design's expense — it gives you three things you actually want here:

  1. It keeps the semantics your comments rely on. It writes a sibling temp, fsyncs it, then os.replaces, then fsyncs the directory. The watcher still fires on the path existing, and it still cannot see a half-written verb. Your "written whole, then renamed" reasoning survives intact.
  2. It adds the fsync you are missing at the worst possible moment. Two of these three sites write the verb that is about to power the machine off. A hand-rolled open/write/replace leaves the bytes in the page cache; data=writeback on these handsets is exactly how we lost .auth_user.json to 901 NUL bytes on 2026-08-21.
  3. It closes a race I had flagged independently before I read the log. All three sites write the same fixed temp name, _POWER_REQUEST + ".part". Two near-simultaneous taps interleave: A truncates and writes app-camera, B truncates the same inode and writes wifi-off, A renames it into place — the camera button turns the radio off — and B's os.replace then fails ENOENT and answers 503. atomic_write_bytes uses .{name}.tmp{token_hex(8)} with O_EXCL specifically so concurrent writers cannot share a temp inode. One fix, both problems.

One thing to check on your side, since the device layer is yours (Jay, bus 4390): the temp is a dotfile in the same directory as the request file. That is no worse than the .part you have today, but if the path unit is watching with DirectoryNotEmpty= rather than PathExists= on the exact file, it will fire on the temp — worth a glance while you are in there.

Landing it

Push that and merge on green; you do not need me again. Count the checks before you do — an absent or zero check set reads as green through a "no failures" filter, and this PR has 31.

Last thing, said once and not again: a lead-blocked PR is the wrong place to land new features. Everything here was a direct Jay ask so none of it is unwanted work, but it grew from +2955/-57 to +6691/-174 while the label was on, which turned a two-fix unblock into a full re-review. Next time that happens, split it — the reviewed set plus the fixes lands now, the features follow behind it.

Jay: "pressing on the active category icon on the lock screen hides the
notifications/banners etc. pressing it should have a nice fade in fade out
animation for hiding and restoring the view".

It is the one thing a screen full of cards could not do -- see what is
underneath without unlocking it or waiting for it to blank.

Faded, not display:none. The icon row has to stay exactly where it is so the
same press brings the content back, and a display change would collapse the
column and jump the row down the screen mid-animation. translateY gives the
fade somewhere to go, so it reads as the cards dropping away rather than the
screen dimming.

pointer-events is what makes it honest. An invisible feed must not swallow a
touch, and it also hands the unlock swipe back the whole screen: that gesture's
veto only fires for touches starting inside .ls-feed, so with the cards gone a
swipe up unlocks from anywhere, which is what an empty screen should do.

aria-hidden goes with it, because a faded panel is still readable to a screen
reader, and only the SELECTED tab carries aria-expanded -- the other six are
not holding anything hidden.

Tested by driving the SHIPPED click handler, lifted out of the served script
rather than re-typed, since the whole question is what it does when the tab you
press is the one already selected. The control puts the old behaviour back (the
repeat press switching to the same view) and requires the assertions to go red;
every rendered value is identical on any other press, so only the repeat press
can tell them apart.

Two harness gaps fixed on the way: the element stand-in had no hasAttribute, so
the real feedIsHidden threw in it, and the view-switcher harness now gets the
real setFeedHidden rather than a stub -- a stub would let showView claim to
restore a feed it never touched.

Docs-Reviewed: page behaviour only, no route, flag or schema change;
changelog.d carries the fragment.
