-Use this document for embed routes, host-owned panels, the workspace bridge, or

-kenn-forge embed routes are intended to run in an isolated browser context, such
-as an iframe, WebView, or host-owned panel that loads one kenn-forge document per
-surface. They are not designed for multiple kenn-forge instances mounted into the
-same `window`.
-
-The embed shell is intentionally smaller than the standalone app shell. It
-initializes theme handling, the workspace bridge, the shared API provider, and
-the single requested workspace surface. It does not run standalone startup work:
-settings hydration, sync polling, pull/issue preloads, event-stream connection,
-container/sidebar setup, or global keyboard shortcuts.
-
-- Workspace embeds hydrate terminal settings before mount and persist terminal-option
-  saves through the daemon settings API; embed mode must not leave an active Save control
-  as a silent no-op (`frontend/src/lib/components/settings/TerminalSettings.svelte::save`).
-
-Hosts communicate with embeds through the `window.__kenn_forge_*` bridge on that
-isolated browsing context. Because the bridge and browser history are
-document-global, callers that need more than one embed at a time should allocate
-one iframe/WebView per embed instance rather than sharing a single document.
-
-- Default-browser launches belong to the client host, never the remote daemon;
-  Electron hosts must handle `window.open` requests with `webContents.setWindowOpenHandler`,
-  open HTTP(S) URLs via `shell.openExternal`, and deny creation of an embedded window.

 A `$state` record written by full-object reassignment (`x = { ...x, k: v }`) that is also read inside the same reactive scope — an `$effect`, or a `{@attach ...}` callback, which Svelte runs as one — is a self-referential dependency: Svelte detects it as `effect_update_depth_exceeded` and the attachment tears itself down and reattaches forever.

 When TypeScript complains, prefer making the owning type more precise over adding call-site assertions. Generated OpenAPI types, named domain unions, and shared option arrays should carry their real values so components can consume them directly. Good cleanups look like `handleCommandResult(result: void | Promise<void>, ...)` or a typed dropdown option returning `TimeRange`; they remove runtime probing and casts by tightening the contract. Bad cleanups add `as unknown as`, broad `as any`, defensive `instanceof` branches, or response-normalization functions around data that is already typed by the API schema.
