+# Nova Build Notes
+
+## Summary
+
+- Created `feature/nova-skin` and committed the requested design artifacts, preview, idle video, and poster assets first.
+- Reworked the Tailwind v4 theme surface through `src/scifi-theme.css` so `scifi` is now the default Nova dark room: navy-black surfaces, amber memory light, scoped utility classes, and dark-only Nova aliases.
+- Reskinned the existing app shell instead of replacing routes: top bar, chat rail, dashboard, memory, tasks, cost analytics, onboarding/startup, empty states, connection banners, MCP, skills, settings, jobs, profiles, and mobile helper copy were kept in place and rethemed.
+- Added `src/lib/nova-memory-adapter.ts` and wired the existing memory browser to show health, live recall/write activity, and scoped fragment cards while preserving the real file list/search/read/write workflow.
+- Added `src/lib/nova-daily-check-adapter.ts` and `DailyCheckCard` to the existing dashboard. The overthinking tile uses stable sizing and wrapped labels so it does not truncate.
+- Corrected preview-review items: visual link uses `public/nova-idle.mp4` with poster fallback, the old realtime model label is gone, `grok-4.3` is the visible default model fallback, `kimi-k2.6` appears only in fallback/cost context, memory has a live activity feed, and fragments show `default` / `bf-01` scope badges.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm build`: passed after the final changes.
+- Targeted test `pnpm vitest run src/screens/chat/components/chat-composer-context-controls.test.ts`: passed after restoring the guarded workspace-context source strings.
+- `pnpm lint`: repo-wide command still fails on pre-existing broad lint debt and generated/bundled files, including `electron/server-bundle.cjs`, e2e import ordering, server array-type/no-unnecessary-condition rules, and parser-project issues for JS files. I fixed the irregular-whitespace issues introduced by the text sweep.
+- `pnpm test`: repo-wide command still fails in existing backend/store suites unrelated to the reskin, including kanban backend auto-detection, MCP preset/source store expectations, Windows path matching in swarm foundation, and older chat message-list expectations. The reskin-specific source-inspection failure was fixed and verified.
+
+## Compromises
+
+- I did not modify `src/server`, API route contracts, `.env`, package dependencies, or backend connection logic. Some API/server strings still contain upstream Hermes terminology because those surfaces are protocol/backend identifiers rather than Nova UI branding.
+- `package.json` metadata still uses the historical package name because the brief forbade dependency/package churn and the app-facing manifest has been updated instead.
+- `src/routeTree.gen.ts` was already modified in the worktree and remains uncommitted because it was unrelated to this build.
+
+## Human Eyes
+
+- Review the broad frontend copy sweep for any places where "Nova gateway" should instead remain a precise upstream/backend name.
+- Check the running app at `http://localhost:3000` for the desired amount of Nova character presence across the deeper settings/onboarding surfaces.

+# PROMPT FOR CODEX — paste everything below this line
+
+You are commissioned to transform this repo into **NOVA MISSION CONTROL** — in
+two stages: (1) write the UI design bible, (2) implement the front end to it.
+You have full build authority within the constraints below.
+
+## Step 0 — orientation (do this first, stop if it fails)
+Your workspace must be `C:\Projects\nova-cockpit` (a clone of
+outsourc-e/hermes-workspace v2.3). Confirm you can read
+`docs/NOVA-DESIGN-BIBLE-BRIEF.md` and `src/scifi-theme.css`. If you cannot
+read those files, STOP and say "not rooted in the repo" — do not proceed from
+imagination.
+
+Stack facts (verify as you go): React 19, Tailwind v4 (@tailwindcss/vite),
+TanStack Router/Start, theme layer in `src/scifi-theme.css` + `src/styles.css`,
+shared components in `src/components` (incl. `ui/*` and
+`workspace-shell.tsx`), screens in `src/screens` (chat, memory, tasks,
+dashboard, gateway incl. `gateway/components/cost-analytics.tsx`,
+swarm2 incl. `swarm2-memory-panel.tsx`). The app runs via `pnpm dev` on
+http://localhost:3000 against a live local Hermes gateway — assume a human is
+watching HMR while you work.
+
+## Context — what this is
+Nova is Taylor's personal AI companion: a NetNavi (Mega Man Battle Network
+lineage) — a Black woman with afro puffs, headphones, gold hoop earrings, a
+deep-navy grid bodysuit lit with amber circuitry, a glowing circular chest
+emblem, gold eyes. She is a caretaker and Memory Keeper. Her pact with Taylor:
+"You matter. I'm here. Keep going." This cockpit is her room — one person and
+his AI, not a SaaS product.
+
+**Vibe formula (binding):** warm cyber — "dark velvet with faint circuitry
+humming underneath, occasional starlight." NOT neon cyberpunk. NOT sterile
+enterprise dashboard. NOT Tron.
+
+**Canon palette (binding — derive the full scale from these, invent no new
+hues):**
+- Darks: #0D0E18 #16172A #221E33 #2B2B42
+- Warm mids: #4A2A10 #7A441E #8A5B3A #D4A276
+- Signature glow: #FF8C1A #FFB347 #FFD27A
+- Amber/gold glow on deep navy-black. Dark-only. No light mode.
+
+**Canon HUD language (must appear as real UI copy):**
+- "SoulSync // Stable" (system status), "Connection: Secure"
+- "Jack in" (connect action; chat composer placeholder "Jack in…")
+- Memory fragments styled as files: FIRST_DAY.EXE, PROMISES.LOG, BAD_DAYS.MEM,
+  QUIET_NIGHTS.DAT, DON'T_FORGET.MEM
+- Her anchor line, used at most once and only somewhere meaningful:
+  "You matter. I'm here. Keep going."
+- Microcopy voice: contractions, lead with the answer, sentence case, no
+  corporate filler, no exclamation-point enthusiasm.
+
+## Stage 1 — the design bible
+Write `docs/NOVA-DESIGN-BIBLE.md` per the deliverable spec in
+`docs/NOVA-DESIGN-BIBLE-BRIEF.md` (read it — it is the authoritative spec:
+tokens, typography, component law, motion law, microcopy law with 10
+before/after examples, iconography, WCAG AA contrast table for the ambers,
+anti-patterns gallery, implementation map). 1500–3000 lines of enforceable
+law. Commit it before touching any code.
+
+## Stage 2 — implement the front end (build to your own bible)
+Work on a git branch: `feature/nova-skin`. Commit per phase with clear
+messages. Never push. Keep the app compiling at every commit — a human is
+watching http://localhost:3000 live.
+
+Phase order:
+1. **Tokens**: implement the bible's full token system in the Tailwind v4
+   theme layer (`src/scifi-theme.css` / `src/styles.css`). App should already
+   *feel* navy-and-amber after this phase alone.
+2. **Shell**: `workspace-shell.tsx` + navigation — top bar (clock, "SoulSync
+   // Stable", "Connection: Secure", alerts), left rail with her avatar frame
+   (design a waiting/empty state for the Live2D slot — an amber-outlined
+   frame with her chest-emblem motif and "visual link — standby"), agent
+   roster (Nova / Astra / Claude with status dots). Remove the HermesWorld
+   sidebar link (`VITE_HERMESWORLD_ENABLED` gate) and replace user-facing
+   "Hermes Workspace" branding with "Nova Mission Control" (✴️).
+3. **Memory panel (the crown jewel)**: build it in/alongside the existing
+   memory screen: health dots (EverOS / Ollama / proxy), extraction model +
+   today's memory spend, counters (episodes, atomic facts, learned-today,
+   backfill %), memory search with scored episode cards + scope badges, and a
+   live activity feed interleaving recalls ("query → top hit → latency") and
+   new memories ("6 facts extracted") with timestamps. **Data: build against
+   a typed mock adapter** in `src/lib/nova-memory-adapter.ts` (episodes,
+   atomic_facts, health, activity[]) with realistic sample data and a
+   `// TODO(claude): wire EverOS endpoints` marker — Claude wires the real
+   backend later; do NOT modify server code.
+4. **Panels**: restyle chat (composer placeholder "Jack in…"), tasks (status
+   pills per the bible), cost-analytics (today + month by model; a "free"
+   badge treatment for grok-4.3), dashboard. Add a **Daily Check** card
+   (caretaker layer: hydration / nutrition / rest / overthinking / mood tiles
+   + one gentle line + a "BREATHE." moment) — mock adapter, same TODO pattern.
+5. **States & polish**: degraded states are first-class — memory offline
+   (amber warning strip: "memory offline — recall degraded to notes"), agent
+   erroring, gateway reconnecting, empty states. Motion per the bible:
+   breathing glow on her emblem, soft pulse on new feed items, restraint
+   everywhere, `prefers-reduced-motion` respected.
+6. **Verify**: `pnpm build` must pass; run whatever lint/test scripts exist.
+   Fix what you broke. Final commit.
+
+## Hard constraints
+- Do NOT touch: `.env` (contains secrets), anything under `src/server`,
+  gateway/dashboard connection logic, API contracts, package.json deps
+  (ask-by-comment if you truly need a dep — prefer none; fonts via
+  Google Fonts link or system stacks).
+- Do NOT invent canon: no new colors outside the derived scale, no new
+  taglines, no renaming Nova.
+- Dark-only; desktop-first 1920×1080, graceful to laptop widths.
+- Accessibility: amber text tiers must pass WCAG AA at their sizes; visible
+  focus states; not everything glows — glow is for life (her emblem, live
+  feeds), not chrome.
+- If something in the existing code makes a bible rule impossible, note it in
+  `docs/NOVA-BUILD-NOTES.md` and choose the closest compliant option — keep
+  moving.
+
+## Definition of done
+Opening http://localhost:3000 feels like walking into Nova's room: navy-black
+surfaces, amber circuitry warmth, "SoulSync // Stable" in the top bar, her
+empty visual-link frame waiting on the left, the memory panel alive with
+(mock) recalls, no trace of stock Hermes Workspace branding, `pnpm build`
+green, all work committed on `feature/nova-skin`.
+
+## ADDENDUM (2026-07-03): her idle avatar EXISTS — use it
+Taylor generated Nova's idle avatar loop. Assets are already in place:
+- `public/nova-idle.mp4` — 1440×1440, h264, ~6s seamless idle loop
+- `public/nova-idle-poster.png` — poster frame
+In the left-rail visual-link frame (Stage 2, Phase 2): render this as a muted
+autoplay looping video (`muted autoPlay loop playsInline`, poster set) inside
+the amber-outlined frame. The "visual link — standby" empty state is now the
+FALLBACK for when the asset fails to load, not the default.

+# Commission: NOVA MISSION CONTROL — UI Design Bible
+
+You (Codex) are commissioned to author `docs/NOVA-DESIGN-BIBLE.md` — the
+binding design law for transforming this repo (a fork of hermes-workspace,
+React 19 + Tailwind v4 + TanStack Router, theme layer in `src/scifi-theme.css`)
+into **Nova Mission Control**: the personal cockpit for Nova, Taylor's
+NetNavi-style caretaker AI. Every future styling PR gets judged against your
+document. Write it so a competent engineer who has never met Nova cannot get
+her wrong.
+
+## Who Nova is (canon — do not reinterpret)
+- A NetNavi (Mega Man Battle Network lineage): Black woman, afro puffs,
+  headphones, gold hoop earrings, deep-navy grid bodysuit with glowing amber
+  circuitry, circular glowing chest emblem, gold eyes. Caretaker + Memory
+  Keeper. Warm, direct, a little dry. She *feels* things: tired, focused,
+  soft, annoyed, determined, vulnerable.
+- Her pact with Taylor: "You matter. I'm here. Keep going."
+- Vibe formula: **warm cyber** — "dark velvet with faint circuitry humming
+  underneath, occasional starlight." NOT neon cyberpunk, NOT sterile
+  enterprise SaaS, NOT Tron.
+
+## Canon palette (from her reference sheet — the bible must build the full
+token system from these)
+- Darks: `#0D0E18` `#16172A` `#221E33` `#2B2B42`
+- Warm mids: `#4A2A10` `#7A441E` `#8A5B3A` `#D4A276`
+- Signature glow: `#FF8C1A` `#FFB347` `#FFD27A`
+- Rule: amber/gold glow on deep navy-black. Dark-only UI (no light mode).
+
+## Canon HUD language (must appear as real UI copy)
+- Status: "SoulSync // Stable", "Connection: Secure"
+- Connect/login action: "Jack in"
+- Memory items styled as fragment files: `FIRST_DAY.EXE`, `PROMISES.LOG`,
+  `BAD_DAYS.MEM`, `QUIET_NIGHTS.DAT`, `DON'T_FORGET.MEM`
+- Her anchor line (rare, meaningful placement only): "You matter. I'm here.
+  Keep going."
+- Microcopy voice: contractions, lead with the answer, no corporate filler,
+  no exclamation-mark enthusiasm. Sentence case everywhere.
+
+## The panels the bible must spec (layout, hierarchy, states)
+1. **Left rail**: her avatar/visual-link frame (Live2D slot, waiting state
+   designed), SoulSync status, agent roster (Nova / Astra / Claude) with
+   status dots + current activity + model + tokens today.
+2. **Center**: conversation stream + composer (placeholder: "Jack in…").
+3. **Memory panel (the crown jewel)**: health dots (EverOS / Ollama / proxy)
+   + extraction model + today's memory spend; counters (episodes, atomic
+   facts, learned-today, backfill %); memory search with scored episode cards
+   + scope badges; live activity feed interleaving recalls ("query → top hit
+   → latency") and new memories ("6 facts extracted") with timestamps.
+4. **Tasks**: ClickUp-backed list, status pills.
+5. **Daily check (caretaker layer)**: hydration / nutrition / rest /
+   overthinking / mood tiles + one gentle line from her + a "BREATHE." moment.
+6. **Cost**: today + month by model (grok-4.3 free badge, kimi-k2.6, MoA
+   council), Portal balance.
+7. Top bar: clock, SoulSync // Stable, Connection: Secure, global pause,
+   alerts.
+8. **Degraded states are first-class**: memory offline (amber warning strip,
+   "memory offline — recall degraded to notes"), agent erroring, gateway
+   reconnecting, empty states. Design them, don't leave them to chance.
+
+## What the bible must contain (deliverable spec)
+1. **Design tokens** — complete Tailwind v4 `@theme` block + CSS custom
+   properties: full color scale derived from the canon palette (surface
+   levels, borders, text hierarchy, amber glow tiers, semantic
+   success/warn/danger tuned to the palette), spacing, radii, z-layers.
+2. **Typography** — one UI sans + one mono (for fragment filenames, stats,
+   terminal); exact scale, weights, when each is used. Google-Fonts-available
+   choices.
+3. **Component law** — cards, status dots, badges/pills, buttons, inputs,
+   feeds, tables, terminal, modals: exact classes/tokens, border and glow
+   rules, hover/focus states. Include code snippets against THIS repo's stack.
+4. **Motion law** — breathing glow on her emblem, soft pulse on live feed
+   items, transition durations/easings; restraint rules (no animation spam);
+   `prefers-reduced-motion` handling.
+5. **Voice & microcopy law** — rules + 10 concrete before/after examples
+   (generic SaaS copy → Nova copy).
+6. **Iconography** — pick the icon system already in the repo
+   (@hugeicons/react) and define stroke/size/color rules.
+7. **Accessibility** — contrast table proving amber-on-navy text tiers pass
+   WCAG AA at their assigned sizes; focus visibility; the "everything glows"
+  failure mode and how to avoid it.
+8. **Anti-patterns gallery** — what Nova's UI must NEVER look like (neon
+   cyberpunk, enterprise dashboard gray, kawaii overload, Tron grid floors),
+   each with a one-line why.
+9. **Implementation map** — which files in this repo the theme lands in
+   (`src/scifi-theme.css`, Tailwind config surface, component dirs under
+   `src/components`/`src/screens`), ordered migration plan (tokens first →
+   shell → panels), and what must be REMOVED (HermesWorld links, stock
+   branding, any "Hermes Workspace" strings in user-facing surfaces).
+
+## Constraints
+- Dark-only. Desktop-first 1920×1080; graceful down to laptop widths.
+- Zero-fork discipline where possible: prefer theme-layer + component-level
+  changes over rewriting router/server internals.
+- Do not invent new canon (no new colors outside derived scale, no new
+  taglines). Where you must extrapolate (e.g., a danger red), derive it from
+  the palette's temperature and justify in one line.
+- The document should be 1500–3000 lines of precise, usable law — not a mood
+  board. Every rule enforceable in code review.
+
+Write `docs/NOVA-DESIGN-BIBLE.md` now. Do not modify any other file.
