# Changelog
## 4.242.0 — 2026-11-13
**One agent you can watch work, cards that act, and a + that blooms** (the owner, 11-13: "it needs to use a universal
agent system … your actor is just your agent"; "this doesn't work … typing test … nothing happens … not seamless and
sleek"; "why don't the avatars show up properly"; "I don't really like the plus … reanalyze and make it a better one …
way more animated, better effects").
- **The run thread (ov-run.js).** Quiet tool steps fold into one line ("Ran 6 steps", open to see each). Words you
send while it works wait as queued messages (Send now, or they go when the turn ends). The list counts what is
working now.
- **Your agents in the menu (search.js, dock.js).** The stack and You's agent card read through Network's Frame
(`/api/frame/actor`, `/api/frame/actor/faces`). Your agents at work show with their faces among the active rows; a tap
opens their tasks.
- **Faces that fail to load show the initial** (the feed, the chat list, the Dock), never an empty circle.
- **The user card acts (ov-user.js).** It reads with the viewer's token (`options.token`, else the bar's new
`OpenVibeNavbar.viewerToken()`) and draws the actions Network computed for that viewer: Message, Follow, Add friend,
Tip, Watch together, Mute, Block, Report and staff tools. An action calls Network, then the card reads itself again
(plan §Y.1 A2).
- **An empty table is the designed empty card** (kit.js `table(…, { empty })`, rule 141; plan §Y.1 A10).
- **The composer's + is its own mark (ov-composer.js).**
- At rest: a bold rounded plus in a softly lit disc (nothing moves).
- Under the pointer, or focused: the arms reach and four petals peek from the diagonals (the tiles it holds).
- Pressed: it sinks.
- Open: it springs a turn and a half of a quarter into an ×; the disc fills with the accent, rings once, and the petals
burst outward in the disc's white.
- Calm keeps all of it, slower, a third as far, with no overshoot. Off stills it.
## 4.241.0 — 2026-11-13
**The composer's + is what you can add, and the feed reads like posts by people** (the owner, 11-13: "the plus button
on the composer … camera, photos, files … our own custom style … a modular system … it can still open this choose an
action … share … each site can choose … highly configurable"; on openvibe.community's feed: "add icons to those [tags]
and make those buttons nicer … make it more like a social media … it should say who posted it … their level … their
username effects … update the listings for deals … way better on mobile, but also great on desktop").
- **The + (ov-composer.js).**
- Big tiles for what you add: Camera (the shared capture core), Photos (pictures and videos), Files (any file; on
Android the system's Choose an action). Then rows: Paste (a picture or words you copied), Screenshot (a screen,
window or tab; desktop), Camera app (the phone's own camera), Share to an app (what you wrote, with its files),
Timer, GitHub, a site's own tools, and what a narrow row hides. Each row says what it does in a second line.
- A phone gets a sheet from the bottom (the top layer: no panel clips it; swipe it down, tap outside, or the ×); a
wide screen a panel under the row with the rows in columns. Tiles rise in turn; a press sinks them.
- What the + holds as a tile is not also a button in the row (rule: never twice); a file tool's input stays in the
form so the files still go with it.
- Configurable: `mount(host, { plus: { tiles, rows, only } })`, a form's `data-ovc-plus`, the site's
`OpenVibeComposer.configure({ plus, tools })`; a tool says where it fits with `sub`, `tile`, `accept`, `capture`
and `when(env)` (env: files, anyFile, touch, camera, screen, share, clip). `noPlus` leaves the + out.
- **The feed (ov-home.js).**
- Each chip has its glyph (For you, Following, Live, Videos, Clips, Pics, Posts, Rundown, Memes, Games, Chat,
Events, Jobs, Deals, Stats, Wiki, Quests, Updates); the chosen one is tinted, not a white block.
- A person's card names them: their face, their name wearing its effect (`actor.fx`, drawn by items.css; Inventory
by `subject` where the page has items.js), their level badge, @handle, the site and when (feed.item@1 1.1.0,
Contracts 0.425.0). "System" is nobody: a site's own card is the site's name and what it is, never
"Community · Community".
- A post, a picture, a clip, a video, a meme or the Rundown is its card and, under it (outside its link), Comment
with the count, likes, and Share (the phone's share sheet, or the link copied).
- A run of deals is a listing: each with its picture (or a tag), its price, the old price struck through with the
saving, and the store; two columns on a wide screen; "See all 37 deals".
- Tests: `composer-plus-chrome` (new: tiles and rows, the sheet and the panel, per box and per site, a site's tool,
picked files in the box); `composer-v2-chrome`, `dock-chrome` and `menu-feed-v2-chrome` follow the new markup.
## 4.240.0 — 2026-11-13
**One agent in the menu's Vibe, and a menu button drawn from the menu** (the owner, 11-13: "all this separation of
tasks and codes and chats … we shouldn't even have that. It's just like filters … your actor is just your agent … it
can orchestrate to openvibe.codes, or timer, task, desktop, browser"; "I tried typing test in and just like nothing
happens … not seamless and sleek"; "regenerate this icon … based on what the menu actually looks like and what the
menu has to offer … good animations and effects … highlight differently and glow").
- **The menu's Vibe is one agent (ov-run.js, search.js).**
- Your agent heads the list (`o.agent`): its face with a state dot (ready, working, asks you, paused), its name,
what it is doing and today's spend, and Pause or Resume. A tap shows its work. It reads the Frame's `/actor`.
- All · Chats · Tasks · Code are filter chips over one list, never modes: the Dock's Chat, Agents and Code panels
and its Actor card are no longer lent into the menu (only Now and the live view of an agent at work, the Dock's
new `part: 'live'`).
- One box starts everything ("Ask, or say what to do"); the Frame places the words (Network #911: Codes for a change
to code, your computer for "on my computer", Vibe for the rest). The thread opens at once with your words and
your agent typing until it answers; a run your agent handed on says where it went ("Sent to Codes"). A start that
fails goes back to the list with the words in the box and why.
- Now (timers, what is on) shows above the list on every filter; Ask your agent (`[data-ov-ask]`, the Dock's
`ask()`) puts the words in the one box, unsent; words put in the box before the shared composer loads carry over.
- **The menu button (navbar.js)** is the menu, small: the ask bar you lead (your face, the words, Vibe's spark) over
the place tabs, one lit. Now and then the light walks across the tabs; under the pointer the tabs lift and light,
the spark turns and the mark glows; while an agent works the spark turns slowly (`.is-working`); open, the bar and
the tabs fold into the ×. Calm and Off keep it still. Class names are M57's, so callers and tests are unchanged.
- Tests: `run-thread-chrome` (a new run opens with your words and the typing), `dock-chrome` (the menu's Vibe is one
list with your agent; Tasks is a filter; the live view above it).
## 4.239.0 — 2026-11-13
**One floating action, a composer that fits its column, a close button with depth** (the owner, 11-13: "this button
is buggy … it disappears when you scroll … it should just use a floating button that actually moves its position …
it's one button, it's not jumping around, it's transitioning"; "this camera button will flash in and out"; "improve
composer … better responsive support and size on mobile to fit better"; "make the close button look slightly 3D and …
glowing … make it look kind of cool").
- **`OVFloat.action(el, opts)` (ov-float.js), the floating action.** One element with a home in the page: while its
home is on screen it sits there; when the home scrolls away (before the person reaches it, after they pass it, or
either: `side`), the same element glides to the dock at the bottom of the window, above the bars
(`[data-ov-bottom-bar]`, the app bar), the keyboard and a footer that has come up, and back when its home returns.
Never a copy and never hidden: its home keeps the space, the move is a transform (FLIP; from far away it rises from
just past the edge), Calm shortens it and Off places it at once. `when()` keeps it home (e.g. only phones float it);
`maxWidth`, `stretch`, `gap`, `above`, `avoid`; `ov:fab` and `data-ov-fab="floating|home"` say where it is;
`check()` and `destroy()`; `OVFloat.actions()` lists them. Live's Go live adopts it next, replacing its copied dock.
- **The composer fits its column (ov-composer.js).**
- A box narrower than its words says their short form ("Message…", or the site's `data-ovc-short`) and the long
one again when there is room; a site that changes its words later is followed. Words never wrap or clip.
- Under 340 px the chat preset's tools tighten into quiet 36 px discs; under 240 px they go under the words.
- **The close orb (search.js)** is a lit sphere: a highlight up and to the left, a shade under it, an accent rim, a
soft glow, a white ×; a sheen sweeps across once as the menu opens; hover brightens the glow; a press sinks it.
Nothing moves at rest.
- Tests: `float-action-chrome` (one element floats and comes home, above the bar and the footer, `when()`,
`ov:fab`, `destroy()`).
## 4.238.0 — 2026-11-13
**The menu's top is a composer, you lead it, no text arrows anywhere, a ringing bell, You gets the height** (the owner's
phone, 11-13: "redesign the whole entire top to be our agentic search … uses our composer", "move the actor thing so
that it's at the top", "merge … this little online thing … the colors and other settings … shouldn't be taking up any
space", "the close button can't be white", "get rid of every single instance of this right or left arrow", "regenerate
the bell icon like that's ringing", "hide the label of the inactive tabs", "add the badges back", "the icons are so
small", "take up the full height properly").
- **The top (search.js).**
- The pill is a composer: voice and attach inside it while it is empty, **Ask Vibe** (a send disc) once there are
words; Ctrl/⌘+Enter asks Vibe whatever the list shows. A question becomes a Vibe run in the menu; an attached file
goes into Vibe's box.
- **You lead the pill:** your picture and the online dot.
- **What runs for you is stacked behind your picture** ("when you have actors or tasks running … sessions,
conversations, anything, there should be stacked … your agents … behind you, and … status indicator"): your Actor
while it works or asks, and every run that is going or waits for you; what waits for you first; two faces on a
phone and three on a computer, then a count. Each face has its picture, or its kind's glyph on its own hue, and
its state on a ring (a comet while it works, amber while it waits for you). They fan out from behind you as the menu
opens. Nothing is drawn on your own picture but the online dot (the arc on it read as a stray line).
- A tap on your picture floats **your sheet** over the menu: your row with Display and your account's menu, your
Actor's card, then **Running for you** (each run, its state, a tap opens it in Vibe); its parts rise in one after
the other. A tap elsewhere, Escape or your picture again folds it. You's own row and Actor strip are gone, so You
starts at its tabs.
- On a phone the pill says "Search or ask Vibe" (the site's name is its tab).
- **The close orb** sits beside the pill (not over it), 48 px, an accent disc with a 26 px x; it spins in and turns
on hover and press. The white ring was the browser's own focus outline: focus is now an accent ring, for keys only.
- The place tabs are shorter on a phone (54 px), their glyphs 30 px over the word (24 px beside it on a computer).
- The list fills the menu's height.
- **You (ov-home.js).**
- Tabs: the chosen tab is lit and widens to show its name; the others are their glyphs (27 px); switching, the last
one folds as the new one opens. The count sits on the bell's corner; the bell rings once when something is new.
The row is shorter (42 px) and closer to the top.
- All and Edit: 44 px with 26 px glyphs. Every app's name (yours too) is 13.5 px, 800; your apps' glyphs fill more
of their tiles.
- `OpenVibeHome.youCard(box, o)` draws your sheet; `actorCard(box, o)` your Actor's card.
- **Notifications (notification-ui.js).** The ringing bell for the empty state (it swings once, its waves fade in;
Calm shortens it, Off stills it), centred; search and Unread are 44 px circles with centred glyphs; the foot's
buttons are 44 px with drawn glyphs; in the menu the foot sits at the bottom.
- **The bell** is redrawn everywhere (kit, glyphs, Dock, notifications, You), sized and centred to the set (19 of 24
units), and **`bell-ring`** joins the registry; the glyph fonts and the ink fixture are rebuilt.
- **No text arrows.** Every →, ↗, ‹, ›, ↑, ↓, ↩ shown to a person is a drawn glyph now (agent-session, agent-sheet,
action-center, ov-float, ov-home, ov-look, ov-metrics, search, shipped, showcase, thread, user-card) or words (navbar,
url-resolver, components, ov-composer, ov-capture). `test/no-text-arrows.test.js` reads every module's strings with
a tokenizer and fails on one.
- **Code is two ways** (dock-code.js): **Make or change** (something new or a project of yours, named in your words;
Codes works out which: `mode: 'make'`, Codes #448) and **OpenVibe**. No repository field.
- **Vibe's list** (ov-run.js): tighter rows. **Your Actor** (dock-actor.js): its recent steps are a clock button.
- Tests: `menu-home-screen-chrome` (you lead the pill with your Actor's state; your sheet; the composer's tools; only the
chosen tab is named; glyphs ≥ 24 px), `no-text-arrows`, `search-site-name-chrome`, `showcase`, `dock-code-chrome`,
`dock-actor-chrome`; budgets: notification-ui 27.1 KB, action-center 8.2 KB (dated notes).
## 4.237.0 — 2026-11-13
**You is one slim row, your site's own are apps, and the menu's badges and the composer's row line up** (the owner's
phone, 11-13: "completely redesign this card … the buttons are below", "it can be … an app … for admin, mod rank",
"the red dot … next to the word feed", "improve … match" the badges, the composer's row "offset").
- **You (ov-home.js).**
- Your card is one slim row: your picture with its online dot, your name and handle, Display, and your account's
menu (a chevron).
- The menu is anchored in the top layer (OVSurfaces.anchor) and holds Your profile, Account and settings, Add or
switch account and Sign out. The button that opens it closes it; Escape and a press elsewhere do too.
- What the site gives you (your channel, Admin, moderation: `me.own`) are apps at the start of the Apps tab, by
rank, each with a tooltip; they are no longer buttons in the card. They are their own row (`.ovh-own-apps`), never
part of the grid you arrange.
- **The menu's tabs (search.js).**
- Feed's live dot sits after the word and breathes.
- Counts (Feed's new, You's unread) ride on the icon's corner instead of a third line under the label.
- Every count in the menu (the tabs' and You's Notifications tab) is one badge: an 18 px pill, a ring of the
ground, a soft shadow, and a pop-in.
- **The composer's row.**
- Every tool is the same quiet 40 px disc, so the first one lines up with the words above it.
- An open + (or a pressed tool) is that disc tinted with a ring, not the only solid shape in the row.
- Tests: `menu-home-screen-chrome` (the slim row, the account menu, own apps; `OV_CAPTURE_YOU` saves the open menu),
`menu-places-chrome` and `navbar-ask-vibe` updated.
## 4.236.0 — 2026-11-13
**You is yours on every site, the wait is the logo, and the box says what a message answers** (the owner's phone,
11-13: "what happened to all the tabs … bring all that back", "what happened to the user avatar", "completely redesign
this area", "in edit mode … you can't scroll up", "improve the O so it actually looks like the original", "improve the
send button", "a replying to area or different content above").
- **You, on a site with its own session (Run's).** The menu knew the person but had no token for the network's reads,
so You lost its tabs (Apps, Notifications, Recent) and the You tab its picture. Both follow the person now
(`known(o)` in ov-home.js, `me` in search.js's tabs). Without a token, Notifications links to the person's account.
- **Your card, redesigned.**
- Your name and the gear on one line.
- Under it, one row of actions across the whole card in equal columns: this site's own (Channel, Admin), Display,
Switch, Sign out. Each is its glyph with its name under it and a tooltip; the row starts at the card's edge (it was
indented 52 px).
- Sign out's red only under a pointer; the gear turns under one.
- **You's tabs look like tabs.**
- Apps, Alerts (Notifications) and History are one segmented track, each with its glyph and name; the chosen one is
lit.
- All apps and Edit are two glyph buttons at the end: All with its count on its corner, and Edit a pencil that turns
into the check, filled with the accent, while you arrange. That check is the one Done; the row is sticky, so it is
always in reach.
- **Editing your home on a phone.** A quick swipe up or down scrolls the menu. A hold of a fifth of a second, or a
sideways move, takes the app (it lifts); only then does the page hold still.
- **The menu's tabs nudge.** This site's tab rolls its glyph and name through the other places in its section, a beat
each, and back to its own: a little after the menu opens, then every 40 s while it is open and idle. Calm rolls once
per opening and Off never. Its accessible name stays its own; a press stops it.
- **The wait (ov-mark busy).** The O stays the logo's ring at its full weight, a faint track, with a bright arc
running round it that grows as it goes and draws in behind. The V lifts 2.5 units in time (it bobbed 6, off the
O's line) and the glow breathes, one 1.25 s rhythm. It replaces eight thinner dots that sat inside the ring's line.
- **The composer.**
- `bar({ icon, title, detail, kind, onClose })` puts any context above the words, inside the box, as reply and edit
do: a quote, or a file being answered.
- Bars carry a rail of the accent (editing in its own colour) and come in with a short rise.
- Send with nothing to send is a quiet outline round its arrow (it was a grey disc). With something to send it
fills with the accent on a spring, and the arrow lifts under a pointer and on a press.
- Tests: `composer-bar-send` (new), `ov-mark` (the arc), `menu-home-screen-chrome` (the card in one aligned row with
names and tooltips; `OV_CAPTURE_YOU=
` saves You and Edit at 390 px).
## 4.235.0 — 2026-11-13
**The layers: what floats folds into a small handle and grows to the window, and what opens from a button is anchored
to it** (the owner's phone, watching a live stream, 11-13: "a small button that lets you pop it in and out", "doesn't
allow it to be off screen", "I can't even resize it bigger", "the little three dots doesn't actually open a menu").
- **ov-float.js, tucked.**
- Thrown past a side (or T, or a tuck button), a box folds into a small handle at that edge: 30 × 64 px, 34 × 72 to
a finger, set with `--ov-float-tab-w/-h`. It used to leave a strip as tall as itself hanging off the screen.
- The fold is a clip animated with the Web Animations API, so nothing inside is squeezed, while the landing's spring
moves it to the side.
- The handle is a button that moves: a tap opens it, a drag up or down slides it along its side, and a pull sideways
brings it out under the finger.
- Tucked by hand, it opens again where it was (`ux`, kept in this browser only).
- **ov-float.js, size.**
- It grows to the whole width of the window: `MAX_W` is 1 (was 0.60).
- Past what a docked frame holds (its width, or 85% of its height), a pinch, the corner or + lifts it over the page
where it is, and it keeps growing, up to 92% of the window's height.
- A double tap on a phone makes it the screen's width.
- New `f.sizeTo(px)`.
- **ov-float.js, the place.**
- This browser's place wins. The account's (`/api/me/layout`) fills a device that has none, so a phone and a
desktop each keep their own.
- The account and `onChange` get only the account's fields (`placeOf`), never the browser's extras.
- A turn of the phone, the keyboard (the visual viewport), the address bar or a resize puts it back inside, once a
frame.
- While it moves, nothing in it is blurred: a backdrop blur repainted every frame made a phone's drag stutter.
- **surfaces.js, `OVSurfaces.anchor(el, trigger, { place, gap, margin, sheet, animate })`.**
- The element goes in the top layer (the Popover API; fixed without it). No `overflow: hidden`, mask or stacking
context clips it.
- It is placed beside its button: `place` is side-align. It flips to the side with room, shifts to stay inside the
visual viewport, and is kept no taller than its side's room.
- It is placed again on scroll, resize and size changes, and released when its button leaves the page.
- `sheet: 'phone'` makes it a bottom sheet under 560 px.
- `data-ov-side` says where it went, and the default entrance grows from the button.
- `OVSurfaces.popover({ …, pop, place, sheet })` anchors its menu while it is open.
- **kit-web.js.** Every `details.ovk-more` menu is anchored, not only those inside a rail: a phone's clipped layout, a
sheet or a rail no longer hides it.
- Tests: `ov-float-chrome` (the handle's size and place, a slide, a pull, growing past the frame, a phone's double tap,
this device's place, the account's fields) and `surfaces-chrome` (a clipped menu at a phone's bottom opens above,
on top, inside the screen, and is released; `placeBox`).
## 4.234.0 — 2026-11-13
**The bottom bar hides all the way, and the composer stops repeating itself** (the owner's phone screenshots, 11-13).
- **The bottom bar (`appbar.js`).** It stepped aside for a keyboard or an open panel with `translateY(110%)` while its
lift above the visible viewport still applied, so above a keyboard, or with Android's toolbar gap, it stopped half on
the screen. A hidden bar now drops the lift, sits fully below the screen, and is invisible and not clickable until it
comes back.
- **The + sheet.** It no longer repeats a tool the row already shows; the emoji button and an "Emoji" tile side by
side were the same thing twice. The sheet holds what a narrow row hides, and the extras (Timer, GitHub).
- **The GitHub picker:**
- each row's mark is its owner's initial on a colour of the name; GitHub's own pictures were blocked by most sites'
image policy, so every row showed a broken picture, and each one asked GitHub;
- the same words are answered from the page's cache for ten minutes;
- a new search cancels the one still running;
- it waits a third of a second after the last key;
- the list scrolls inside its panel and no longer runs over the box.
- Tests `composer-v2-chrome` (nothing repeated, the initial, the cache) and `navbar-appbar` (hidden is all the way).
## 4.233.0 — 2026-11-13
**`ov-metrics.js` on a phone, and prices under a dollar.**
- **A narrow table is cards** (`OVMetrics.table`):
- in a box under 520 px wide (a container query, so a side column counts too), each row is a card: its name on top
and each value under its label;
- the column heads become a row of sort buttons, and the one in use is outlined;
- nothing scrolls sideways;
- the table, its rows, cells and heads carry their roles, so a screen reader still reads a table whatever the display.
- **`format.usd` keeps two significant digits under a dollar**: $0.0118 is `$0.012`, not `$0.01`; $0.25 stays `$0.25`.
A per-call price no longer rounds away.
- Test `ov-metrics-chrome`: the card form at 390 px, the labels, the roles, no sideways scroll, and the new prices.
## 4.232.0 — 2026-11-12
**`ov-metrics.js`: the network's one way to show numbers** (ai-metrics.md). Report, Exchange, Compare and the admin panel
draw their AI and usage numbers with it, and nobody draws a chart of their own. The look is the theme's (tokens only).
Every piece works at 390 px and in both themes, and stays still with motion off.
- `OVMetrics.tiles()`: label, value, unit, a delta that knows whether up is good, a sub-line and a trend.
- `.spark()`: a trend line with its last point.
- `.bars()`: a ranked bar list.
- `.percentiles()`: p50, p90 and p95 on one scale, with a spoken summary.
- `.split()`: one bar in parts, with a legend.
- `.table()`: sortable on a click, with `aria-sort`, numeric columns and an optional in-cell bar.
- `OVMetrics.format`: the same words everywhere, and servers get them from `require('openvibe-shared/ov-metrics')`:
- `ms` (540 ms · 1.3 s · 1 min 38 s), `usd` ($0.0042 · $61.20), `count` (18k · 9.1M), `tokens`, `rate` (99.4%);
- `tps` (86.0 tok/s), `bytes`, `delta` (+12%);
- unknown is a dash, never 0.
- Test `ov-metrics-chrome`.
## 4.231.0 — 2026-11-12
**OpenVibe's own icons, and no Font Awesome drawing left** (the owner, 11-12: "make sure no remnants of font awesome or
other libraries are still being used rather than our openvibe.design systems").
- **The ring icons' solids are the glyphs' own.** Nine product icons (Network, Live, Tools, Media, Games, Community,
Chat, Domains, Bench) drew Font Awesome outlines as their solid twin. Each is now the solid drawing of the glyph
that stands for it, on the same 24-unit grid as the line drawings. Exchange keeps its line drawing until `swap` has
a solid. `scripts/build-navbar-icons.js` writes them from `glyphs.js` and refuses any drawing that is not a glyph.
- **The generator that read Font Awesome's font is gone** (`scripts/build-nav-icons.py`; `npm run build:icons` is
`build-navbar-icons.js`). The bar's dead 512-grid path in `navbar.js` went with it.
- **OpenVibe's own markup:**
- `` names any glyph and `` any logo, drawn by `ov-glyphs.js`;
- classes `ovg-xs` … `ovg-3x`, `ovg-fw`, `ovg-rotate-*`, `ovg-flip-h`/`-v` and `ovg-fill` (what `fa-solid` did);
- `OVGlyphs.icon()`, `.html()` and `.has()` in a page, and `glyphs.markup()` on a server;
- the drop-in now carries every glyph (287), and the navbar loads it for this markup too.
- **The bar draws glyph names:** a name the bar's set lacks is drawn as ``, never as Font Awesome.
- **`scripts/fa-to-ov.js`** rewrites a repository's static Font Awesome markup into `data-ov-icon` / `data-ov-brand`.
It keeps each attribute's own quote, and running it twice changes nothing. It lists what a person has to decide
(names built at run time, JS class strings, CSS rules, animations, unknown names). `glyphs.fromFaClasses()` is its
mapping.
- **Names that drew nothing now draw their glyph:** `arrow-rotate-left`, `chart-pie`, `book-skull`, `crosshairs`,
`location-crosshairs`, `satellite`, `globe-americas`, `street-view`, `magnifying-glass-location`, `apple-whole`,
`backpack`, `shield-heart`, `openstreetmap`; and the logos `reddit-alien` and `kickstarter-k`.
- Test `fa-to-ov`.
## 4.230.0 — 2026-11-12
- **OpenVibe's own controls on every site** (the owner, 11-12: "improve the selection boxes to use a more customized look integrated into openvibe.design and themed better with animations and effects for all inputs and buttons"). `ov-forms.css` now draws every checkbox and radio: a rounded box whose check pops in, and a ring whose dot grows. The mark is the box's own `::before` (a clip-path check, scaled), so no picture is fetched. Both lift their border on hover, squeeze on a press and glow with focus; the mixed state is a bar; disabled is faded. A switch (`role="switch"`) glows when on, its knob squeezes when pressed, and it has a focus ring. Buttons answer a press, and text fields, text areas and selects glow in the accent with focus. Everything is `:where()`, so a site's own rule wins; `data-ov-native` keeps the browser's control; motion follows the person (Calm slower, Off moves nothing).
- The bar loads `ov-forms.css` on any page with a text field, a text area or a button. The select kit's script still waits for a select, a box or a file input.
## 4.229.0 — 2026-11-12
- **Back brings you back to the menu** (the owner, 11-12: "fix the history back button so it properly brings you back to this GUI rather than the page behind it"). Leaving through a link in the menu marks where it was on its history entry (its place, its door, its scroll); Back to that page opens the menu again there, whether the page comes back from the browser's cache, loads again, or a site swaps it in place (Boost). It reuses that entry, so Forward still works, and closing it then leaves the page as it was. Only for a Back or Forward within half an hour.
- **Links are on their way before the click**: anywhere on the page (the bar, the menu, a footer, a card), a finger landing on or a pointer resting on a link to another OpenVibe site opens its connection at once; this site's pages were already prefetched by the bar's speculation rules.
- **All apps has one search** (the owner, 11-12: "confusing"): no second box under the menu's pill. The pill reads "Find among 64 apps" and filters the apps in place; the view's head is its name, its count and a hint, coming in with the view. Back on Home, the pill searches OpenVibe again.
- **The close x has no white ring**: the ring that leaves it as the menu opens is invisible at rest, so where animations are off (a phone's "Remove animations") it no longer stays as a white circle.
- **The Feed never shows a card twice**: a card id already on the list is skipped (Network names a Deals burst once, as of its #887).
- **Feed cards with no person wear their site's app icon** (design rule 142), 40 px beside 40 px faces, the glyph filling the square (the owner, 11-12: "icons to increase size").
- **Any button can open a place in the menu** (the owner, 11-12: "other tools and buttons can open specific areas of the menu"). A menu address is a place, or place/part: `you/notifications`, `you/apps` (All apps), `you/recent`, `feed`, `here/live`, or a door (`vibe`, `chats`, `agent`, `code`, `tasks`). Any element with `data-ov-menu="you/notifications"` opens it on a click, on any page with the bar; a link with an address still opens elsewhere with a modifier key. A page address ending `#ov-menu=you/notifications` opens it as the page loads (on any OpenVibe site), and a same-page link to it works too; the hash leaves the address. `OpenVibeNavbar.openMenu(address)` and `OpenVibeNavbar.menuAddress(address)` take the same addresses; OpenVibeHome's `show('drawer')` opens All apps.
- **One search field for every site: `ov-searchbox.js`** (the owner, 11-12: "improve the search field … autocomplete, dropdown, animated effects … a shared, universal, reusable search input component"). `` in a form becomes a pill: the search mark, the field, a clear button and a "/" key hint on a computer; its edge glows with focus. The placeholder walks through the examples while idle (Calm slower, Off never). Suggestions come from the source in OVCombo's shape, with icons (search, recent, page, person, live, video, place) or a small picture; while empty, the person's recent searches here. The first suggestion that starts with the typed words shows the rest as a ghost: Tab or → takes it. Enter searches the typed words (the form's action) or the chosen row's page; "/" anywhere puts the cursor in it; Escape closes, then clears. `OVSearchBox.mount(input, { source, examples, scope, recent, onSearch })`; a cancelable `ov-search` event lets a page search in place.
- **OVCombo grows hooks** for anything that is not a value picker: `pick`, `enter`, `onRows`, `selectFirst: false`, `none`, `limit`, `cacheMs`, `anchor`; rows take `icon` or `image`; the skeleton no longer flashes over rows already showing while a quick answer comes.
- The navbar's budget is 52 KB brotli (51.6 KB with the menu addresses).
## 4.228.0 — 2026-11-12
- **A page's sections as tabs on a phone** (the owner, 11-11: "consolidate these into tabs, self-contained tabs, so the page isn't so freaking huge … at least on mobile"). `showcase.parts({ name, items: [{ id, label, count, html }], front })` shows one part at a time with a tab bar (its name and count) at 900 px and under, 600 for a front page; every part stays in the HTML (crawlers, AI readers); radios and `:has()`, no script; the arrow keys move between parts; wide screens and browsers without `:has()` stack them. `ov-parts.css` is the same look alone, for a page that does not load showcase.css (Live's home).
- **`showcase.pick()`: the pick block, once.** Twenty-five sites kept a copy of a "pick block" (server/render/short.js) whose chips only jumped to a pane, so a phone still showed them all. `pick({ key, label, head, panes, checked })` is that block on `parts()`: a heading, then tabs on a phone, every pane in the HTML with its id, `ov-parts.css` linked by its hash. `parts()` takes `checked` too, and a link to something inside a part opens it (CSS `:target`, no script).
- **Caption it with AI.** A picture in any composer has ✨: one tap sends it, made small (JPEG, 768 px), to the Frame's `/api/frame/caption` on the person's own allowance; the caption fills an empty box (theirs to change) and `ovc:caption` carries the alt text. `ctx.alt(file)` and `ctx.caption(file)` for a page; `data-ovc-caption="off"` leaves it out.
- **`OpenVibeNavbar.token()`** reads the person's Network token the site gave `init()`. Caption it sends it as the Bearer on any site (the Network's session cookie is not sent cross-site), and the composer's settings sync, which asked for it all along, now finds it.
- **A picture alone is a post.** The menu's Feed composer no longer asks for a description of every picture: one left empty is written by AI as it posts, and a post goes without one if that cannot be done.
## 4.227.0 — 2026-11-12
- **One app icon, drawn on the server too** (design rule 142). `OpenVibeIcons.appHtml(site, { size, label, hue })` returns the app icon as markup (no DOM needed): its hue and size inline and its glyph already drawn, so `ov-icons.js` finds nothing to fill and nothing moves when it arrives. `OpenVibeIcons.APP_CSS` is the app icon's own rules, sizes 20 · 26 · 32 · 44 · 56 · 64 included: a server-drawn page puts it in its stylesheet once and its icons are whole before any script runs.
- **Every site's "More on OpenVibe", app launcher and next steps draw sites as their app icons** (showcase `network()`, `apps()`, the next-step list), whole on the server and the same as the menu's: 44 px in a row, 56 px as a launcher tile on a phone. A non-OpenVibe glyph (`fa-…`) keeps its tile.
- **The square keeps its size before `ov-icons.js`**: the navbar's early rules hold every `.ov-appicon` at its `data-size`, so a page's app icons no longer pop in.
- **The menu's "Across OpenVibe" sites and a quest's steps wear their app icons** instead of a small glyph in a ring.
- **The Feed's chips name the one feed's new kinds**: Rundown, Jobs, Deals and Stats, beside the media kinds.
- **A release reaches a returning visitor within minutes**: an unversioned asset (`cache-policy` `assetHeaders`) keeps five minutes of stale-while-revalidate, not a day. Sites load `navbar.js` without `?v=`, so the first visit to each site after a release ran the old menu.
- **/updates passes its contrast check again**: a filter chip's count no longer fades to 70% (axe color-contrast, serious, on every site's /updates; the release browser check had paged as critical).
## 4.226.0 — 2026-11-12
- **The menu's feed draws the one feed's new kinds (feed.item@1)** (the one-feed job's finding: they fell through to a
bare card):
- **A report** is its number, large, with which way it moved and from what (▲ 12%, was 1,075).
- **A folded run** (new jobs, new deals) lists its first three, each with its picture where there is one, rows
lined up, then "and 11 more".
- **What a count means** is said: "14 jobs", "41 voted"; `counts.watchers` reads "watched".
- **The Rundown** is about its actor (feed.item@1's `subject` is a person's id, so the old reading found nothing).
- A card without a person no longer says its text twice.
- `menu-feed-v2-chrome` checks each.
## 4.225.0 — 2026-11-12
**The menu's Vibe is one place: All · Chats · Tasks · Code, no switch** (the owner, 11-12, crossing out the Chat · Code ·
Agents switch: "one new unified agent … a shared UI").
- **Vibe opens on All:** every run from the Frame (Vibe chats, tasks, coding runs) in one list (`ov-run.js`, 4.224.0).
- The Action Center's waiting and running work from every product (Network `/api/v1/me/actions`) joins it, unless a
run already shows it. What needs you comes first, approved or declined in place; the rest open their own pages.
- Above the list: the Dock's Now and timeline, your Actor and your agent's live view (lent with
`OpenVibeDock.mountInto(el, { tab: 'agent', part: 'top' })`).
- Vibe's six starters sit above the box; a press starts that run. Enter in the menu's field starts a run too.
- **Chats, Tasks and Code are the Dock's own panels, lent whole** (Vibe's conversations with voice, undo and the timer;
Agents with its history, skills and filters; Code with its repos). They move into the one view when it does all they
do, so nothing is lost on the way.
- The Dock's places open their filter: `OpenVibeDock.open({ tab: 'vibe' })` opens Chats, `'agent'` Tasks, `'code'` Code.
The status on the menu button still opens what needs you. `OpenVibeNavbar.openMenu()` also takes `'code'` and
`'tasks'`.
- **`ov-run.js` gains:**
- `o.starters`;
- `o.actions: { base }`, the Action Center's work in the list;
- `o.top(el)`, the host's slot above the list on All;
- `o.panes: { chat, task, code }`, filters the host draws itself;
- `o.onPlace`;
- `view.prefill(text)`, words in the box, unsent.
- A system light theme darkens the agents' glyphs.
- **The menu scrolls on a phone wherever the swipe begins** (the owner, 11-12: "scrolling is very buggy … on mobile …
especially in notifications").
- Inside the menu, the notifications list was a scroll box of its own that held its overscroll. It never overflowed
there, so a swipe that began on a notice moved nothing.
- Inside the menu it is now part of the menu's one scroller (one scroller per layer).
- Measured with real touches at 390 px, and checked on every tab: nothing else nests a scroll box like it.
- New test `notifications-menu-scroll-chrome` (it fails without the fix).
- `notification-ui.js`'s brotli budget grows from 25.9 to 26.1 KB for it.
- **The composer's + has GitHub.**
- It searches repositories through OpenVibe Exchange's code search (the Frame's `/api/frame/code/search`, Network
#878) a quarter second after the last key.
- Each row shows the owner's picture (GitHub's avatar host only), the name, the description, the language, stars
and the licence, all as text. Enter or a press puts the repository's address in the box, where every site draws
it as a card.
- A box may point it at another Network with `data-ovc-frame`. `composer-v2-chrome` checks it.
- **One app icon for every site: `.ov-appicon` and `OpenVibeIcons.app(site, { size, label })`** (design rule 142).
- It is the menu's and Home's own icon: the app's steady hue on a rounded square, with its glyph drawn over it.
- Use it from markup (``) or from script. Markup added later,
or an app that changes, is drawn again.
- With a label it is an image with a name; otherwise it is decoration. `OpenVibeIcons.hue(id)` is the shared hue.
`ov-appicon-chrome` checks it.
- **Home on a phone: a long press then a move keeps the app under the finger.**
- Entering Edit repaints the grid, so the tile under the finger left the page, and the grid's touch guard no longer
heard that touch: the first move scrolled the menu and cancelled the press.
- The guard now rides on the pressed tile itself until the finger lifts.
- `menu-home-screen-chrome` drags with a real touch (it fails without the fix).
- The menu reads runs and the Action Center from the Dock's Network base (`runsBase`).
- **Tests:**
- `dock-chrome` gains the All view at 390 px: the four filters on All; a run and the Action Center's work in one
order; the Dock's top lent without its list; the starters; Tasks as the Agents panel, remembered by the Network;
approve in place from All. Every Dock check before it still passes unchanged.
- `run-thread-chrome` gains the starters, the Action Center's rows (nothing twice), the host's slot, the place and
prefill.
- `menu-places-chrome` and `menu-home-screen-chrome` follow the filters in place of the switch.
## 4.224.0 — 2026-11-12
**One thread view for every run: chats, tasks and code** (the owner, 11-12, crossing out the menu's Chat · Code · Agents
switch: "one new unified agent … a shared UI … a full conversation with rich embedding").
- **New module `ov-run.js` (`OpenVibeRun`)** draws any run from the Frame's Run API (Network `/api/frame/runs`; Contracts
`agents.run@1`, `agents.step@1`), on every site:
- `OpenVibeRun.mount(host, { base, token, me, sibling, examples, start, filter, open })` returns
`{ list(filter), open(ref), start(text), destroy() }`.
- `OpenVibeRun.card(type, render)` adds a rich card for a step's `ui.type`; built in: `results`, `table`, `link`,
`code`. A card it does not know shows the step's words.
- **The list:**
- Filters: All · Chats · Tasks · Code.
- Order: what needs you first, then newest.
- Each run shows its agent's face (its picture, or its glyph on its own hue, with a badge saying what it is doing),
its title in the brand face, its last line and when.
- Pills say "Needs you", "Working" and "Did not finish". A product that did not answer is named under the list.
- A run that asks before it acts is answered from the list: Approve or Not now, in place.
- A filter reloads only the rows, so the words you are typing stay.
- **The thread:**
- Your words on the right. The agent's on the left: paragraphs, lists, bold, inline code, links, and numbered
sources whose [n] marks link to them.
- Thinking is folded. Each tool is one quiet row (it opens to its output).
- An approval is a card with its answers. Child runs are rows that open them; files are chips or pictures.
- It follows the run live: server-sent events read with fetch, so the bearer goes along, resuming after the last step
it has.
- The composer underneath says the next thing. A new run starts from the list's box, sent once with an idempotency
key.
- Page text is never markup, and only https links are drawn.
- **The menu keeps the Dock's panels for now.** Its Vibe moves to this view (and the switch goes) once the view does
everything those panels do:
- the Action Center's items from every product, approved in place;
- the live agent view (Pause, Curtain, Mute, End);
- Vibe's starters and voice;
- "Ask your agent" from a page;
- the place the Network remembers.
- **Arrange:** Stop is an ordinary optional part; it docks right like any other (#501).
- `ov-run.js` and `ov-composer.js` have content hashes in `SIBLING_REV`, ready for the menu. Every site serves
`ov-run.js` (`files.js`), and the package exports `openvibe-shared/ov-run`.
- **Tests:**
- New `run-thread-chrome` (390 and 1280 px): the list and filters; approve in place; every kind of step; the live
stream and where it resumes; approvals, messages and a new run reaching the API with the person's token; no markup
from page text; no overflow.
## 4.223.1 — 2026-11-12
The menu keeps its search field and tabs (the owner, 11-12, two phone screenshots: "the gui gets messed up and loses
its tabs", "Missing top tabs").
- **What went wrong:**
- 4.223.0's slow light behind the menu is drawn 20% past the panel's edges, and the panel was `overflow: hidden`.
- A hidden-overflow box is still a scroll container, so a focus or a scroll into view inside the menu scrolled the
whole panel up: the field and the tabs left the screen, with an empty band at the bottom.
- **The fix:** the panel now clips (`overflow: clip` is never a scroll container), and any scroll an older engine
gives it anyway is put back at once.
- "Your own AI" keeps its name on one line; its sentence takes the wrap.
- **New test** `menu-panel-still-chrome`: at 390 and 1280 px, a focus deep in the site list moves the list, never the
panel.
## 4.223.0 — 2026-11-12
You redone as tabs, icons that fill their squares everywhere in the menu, names in the brand face, and one composer with
a + for every tool (the owner, 11-12, a run of phone and desktop screenshots: "the notifications area is ultra buggy …
move the notifications into a tab … put the apps more front facing"; "make the icons bigger so they actually take up
more of the square … fix the alignment"; "waste of space … compact"; "fix the mic to the left … the timer should be in
the plus thing … usable on all composers across all sites").
- **You:**
- **One top:** your row, then your AI. Side by side when the menu is wide. Your row holds every round button, with
this site's own (your channel, Admin, what a site adds) first as icons. The lone "Channel" row is gone.
- **Three tabs:** Apps (first) · Notifications · Recent. One row, with All and Edit at its end; no "Your home" head.
- An ink slides to the chosen tab and the tab's content slides in from its side. Calm fades; Off stills.
- On a phone, only the chosen tab says its name. The arrow keys move between tabs.
- **Notifications** is a tab:
- the whole list, with its own search, filters and Mark all read;
- it loads `notification-ui.js` itself when the tab opens first (it said "unavailable");
- its count follows the bell live.
- **Recent** is the whole history:
- newest first, in days (Today, Yesterday, This week, Earlier);
- each place a card with its whole title, its site and when, and LIVE when it is live;
- two columns when wide, Show more, and Full history to openvibe.my/history.
- **Your AI:**
- its face shows what it is doing (reading, writing, searching, coding, waiting for you…) as a glyph;
- it breathes while working;
- Open is a round arrow and Answer is a pill;
- not yet set up, it is one slim row.
- **All apps:** back is a round arrow, with the search beside it. Each group is marked with its glyph and its count.
- **App icons, everywhere in the menu** (You, the site list, search rows, the feed):
- the site's hue on a rounded square, with the glyph at 58% of it;
- drawn absolutely, so no hover can move it off centre;
- a folder's four apps sit in an even 2×2 (they were offset and cut off);
- a + to add an app sits on the icon's corner;
- a mouse lifts an icon and lights it in its hue, and a press sinks it.
- **Names in the brand face:**
- app, site, tab and section names are in OV Brand (Nunito 800, loaded by the navbar on every site); words you
read stay in the UI face;
- names wrap to two balanced lines and never end in "…";
- section heads are names, not small capitals.
- **The site list** (a site's own tab) is a grid of app icons: four across on a phone, as many as fit beyond. Each
section wears its glyph.
- **The feed:**
- a recording's length reads as a time (5203 → 1:26:43);
- the Rundown is its own card: "The Rundown · about Maticus", its mark, a ribbon on its picture, and a grade, so it
never reads as the stream's card;
- the kind glyph beside the time is 18 px.
- **One composer** (`ov-composer.js`, every box on every site):
- **The row:** the mic first, then the + and the box's first tool on a phone; the + opens every tool of the box, big
and named. It lists the row's own tools, the mods' tools and the extras.
- **Timer:** a tool in every box's + (`OpenVibeComposer` TOOL `timer`, `extra: true`). Vibe's switch row no longer
has a timer of its own.
- **Examples:** an empty box shows what people do with it, in turn: `examples`, or a preset's own, or
`data-ovc-examples`. Calm is slower; Off keeps the first.
- **Send:** the round send is an arrow up, in the accent when there is something to send.
- **Vibe:**
- its box is the same composer, with its hold-to-talk mic first and then the +;
- a link in your own message reads (it was blue on blue);
- Chat · Code · Agents is one segmented control with a sliding ink, at 15 px with 20 px glyphs.
- **The menu:**
- Close is a round × on every screen; the phone's close orb is glass with a hairline edge, never a thick ring;
- a slow light drifts behind the panel (Calm slows it; Off stops it).
- `OpenVibeNavbar.openMenu(place)` opens the menu at a place: `notifications`, `recent`, `apps`, `you`, `feed`,
`vibe`, `chats` or `agent`. A site's own links use it (openvibe.my's Notifications tile clicked a bell that is gone).
- **Times:** a time without a zone is UTC. Network's history sends "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS", and browsers read it as local
time; west of UTC every visit said "just now".
- **The notification rows:**
- one way to clear a notice (×); a tap reads it, and a swipe still offers Read or Clear;
- the title and its ×N count are one run of text (the count overlapped the words).
- **Tests updated:** menu-home-screen, menu-places, menu-close, dock-chrome (the timer through the +), composer-v2,
composer-camera, inline-composer.
## 4.222.0 — 2026-11-12
The wallet sheet redesigned for phone and desktop, every phone page back to its true width, and whole site names in the
menu (the owner, 11-12, a phone screenshot of the wallet marked "UGLY" twice; "make everything a little more
user-friendly and elegant … perfect the layout … across all sites").
- **The wallet:**
- **Balances first.**
- **What changed reads as rows:** one per currency, with its mark, a counted summary ("Quests done ×10") and when, and
the amount in its colour ("+161k"). Each change, with its own amount, sits in a fold ("See all 10"). Before, every
quest was strung into one paragraph.
- **Every section has a head with its glyph:** What changed, Recent activity, Store, Your items.
- **Empty parts are a small card with their mark** saying what will appear (openvibe.design rule 141), never a grey
line under a heading.
- **Recent activity in the same hand:** the currency's mark, the reason as a 44 px link (no underline across the row),
its first letter up, the amount in its colour.
- **Store prices are pills with the currency's mark**, each named in full for a screen reader; "Owned" is a green
badge; pictures and names sit closer.
- **On a computer, What changed and Recent activity sit side by side.**
- The head is the wallet's mark, "Wallet" and "Yours on every OpenVibe site".
- The sheet's marks are the registry's glyphs (`test/wallet-glyphs.test.js`).
- **The bar never widens a phone page.** Every OpenVibe page was 392 px wide on a 390 px phone (so phones zoomed out a
little): Sign in's larger tap area reached 8 px past the bar's edge. `.openvibe-navbar { overflow-x: clip }`;
dropdowns hang below, so only the sides clip.
- **The menu keeps a site's whole name:** a long one takes a second line instead of "Downlo…".
Tests: `wallet-chrome` and `purse-catchup-chrome` (the new rows), `wallet-glyphs` (new); the wallet fixture can give a
rich history (`changes: 'many'`).
## 4.221.0 — 2026-11-12
The icon system, audited end to end (plan L32 I1/I2; the owner, 11-12: "Broken icon. Improve the icons that exist, add
more icons, and improve the icon system in general").
- **No broken icon anywhere.** `scripts/icon-audit.js` reads every OpenVibers repository's main and lists every icon
name that does not resolve: `fa-*` classes, `kit.icon('…')`, `glyphs.*('…')`, and the `icon:` fields in NAVs, menus
and manifests. A site can run it from the package (`npx ov-icon-audit --root .`) and fail CI on a miss; the audit
found and this release fixes `fa-shoe-prints`, `fa-calendar-check`, `fa-cloud-arrow-down`,
`fa-magnifying-glass-chart`, `fa-magnifying-glass-dollar`, `fa-plug-circle-plus`, `fa-power-off` and `fa-receipt`.
- **`kit.icon(name)` draws every glyph in `openvibe-shared/glyphs`**, not only the kit's own 86: the rest travel with
kit.js as a generated block (`scripts/build-kit-glyphs.js`) and a test checks the block is current. `compass`, `chip`,
`gauge`, `layers`, `route`, `scale` and `flask` no longer draw an empty `
