+The Vault stage adds `views.vault-pages`, the `vault-page` location, and the
+existing `views` permission. It grants no Vault/session data. The ordinary
+browser Scratchpad example uses only its own bounded view-state API and
+explicit user input. It is not a Notes API or automatic sync feature.
+
+The independent integration base includes #3956 UI polish and #3960 d4ca fixes;
+frozen evidence heads and prior PR bases are unchanged. Related UI changes in
+this stage are limited to VaultView/VaultViewLayout, new independent plugin
+components/hooks, and localized strings. PluginMarketplace/PluginPackageManager
+layouts are not rewritten. Native acceptance belongs to the parent with a new
+fixture-specific own-views approval. Sidebar, ThemePack, selected context and
+SFTP remain unfinished; this checkpoint is not overall completion.
+
+## Terminal sidebar checkpoint
+
+`views.terminal-sidebar` exposes one more existing sandbox view placement,
+using only the existing own-views permission. The host owns navigation,
+selection, split/close and focus. Its context is a surface string only; no
+terminal DTO or resource authority is implied. The Session Scratchpad fixture
+uses explicitly typed synthetic text and its own view state.
+
+This stage builds on ordinary merges containing #3960 8e4dd0c and the #3971
+stale-layout callback fix. Prior QA heads and PR bases are not rewritten. The
+ThemePack implementation, selected-context/drafts and file handles remain
+unfinished; parent review/native gates still apply to each delivered head.
+
+## Color-pack and remaining workflow checkpoint
+
+The first [ThemePack color layer](./theme-packs.md) now has an implemented host
+catalog, data-only admission, Appearance selector, local preview, revision-safe
+application/reset, missing-version fallback and host security palette boundary.
+It is not native-accepted until the new exact head is independently reviewed,
+built by CI and exercised through normal Settings. Terminal palette linkage is
+not accepted by this contract yet, so a declared but ignored linkage cannot be
+counted as coverage. Font/density/icon/background packs remain separate product
+and accessibility decisions, rather than arbitrary CSS permissions.
+
+Parent native evidence for sidebar `a8adeb86` now covers the original Local
+Terminal blocker, own-views Once, save, magnify/restore, a split with empty Notes,
+and side/bottom docking. `733f44c` adds only the production bridge projection
+regression. The older `0c097a1` CI run `40308057623` remains **failed and
+unattributed**: 9447 top-level TAP results are `ok`, the aggregate footer is
+missing and the process exits 1. A newer passing run does not change that record.
+The native Vault success retains its original `0c097a1` evidence label.
+
+The next implementation stages are bounded by useful workflows:
+
+1. **Selected terminal sharing and drafts (A).** Reuse host-signed action
+   contexts for an explicit selection preview/share, then let the plugin submit
+   a bounded input draft to the host compose surface. No Enter, raw PTY, history
+   enumeration or background terminal listener. First add a host-selected
+   session handle with a minimal from-scratch DTO and independent lifecycle
+   watch; navigation alone grants no content. Bind handles to actual session and
+   connection identity, runtime/version, owner, mode and TTL. Cover cancel,
+   reconnect, close, revoke and late draft results with synthetic terminals.
+2. **Selected file conversion/transfer (A).** The host picker issues read or
+   explicit-destination write handles. Start with one file, stat/read and saveAs
+   or upload, not recursive traversal or arbitrary paths. Require destination
+   preview/overwrite confirmation, byte/concurrency limits, cancellation,
+   session/endpoint identity and final active checks. Observe/cancel only the
+   plugin's own transfer. Real native SFTP targets require parent-coordinated
+   concrete approval; local tests use isolated fixtures.
+3. **Versioned document proposals (selected B).** Reuse snapshot/handle and host
+   review primitives for one explicitly shared editor document or Note. Apply
+   only an expected-version patch to its buffer after a visible diff; saving a
+   remote file remains a separate file operation. Reuse the draft path for a
+   selected snippet or new snippet template; do not run scripts or add onConnect
+   bindings. Cover edits after snapshot, detached ownership, closure and revoke.
+4. **Final reassessment.** Recheck the matrix by actual workflow and eight gates.
+   Read-only system aggregates, selected port-rule status and bounded navigation
+   may be added only where the shared primitives leave a concrete useful gap.
+   Full process arguments/env/inspect, tunnel start, arbitrary AI/MCP tools,
+   background jobs, general KV sync and raw high-privilege access remain deferred
+   or retained boundaries. Do not invent new C work to prolong the task.
+
+These stages remain unfinished work, not API-name coverage. Exact schemas and
+ordering will follow the existing brokers/adapters rather than a parallel RPC
+stack or one namespace per product module.

+# Host text interactions
+
+Status: internal preview. This layer builds on the grant management in Draft
+#3955. It adds `host.interactions` feature discovery, a generated request/result
+contract, and an ordinary browser SDK workflow. Native acceptance remains a
+separate parent-owned gate.
+
+## SDK and authorization
+
+| SDK call | Permission | Result |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `ui.quickPick(title, items)` | `ui.interact` | Approved item ID or `undefined` on cancel |
+| `ui.input(title, initialValue?)` | `ui.interact` | Approved single-line text or `undefined` on cancel |
+| `clipboard.readText(title)` | `clipboard.read` | Explicitly shared snapshot or `undefined` on cancel |
+| `clipboard.writeText(text, title)` | `clipboard.write` | `true` after copy, `false` on cancel |
+
+`ui.input` rejects CR and LF in initial values before any dialog is displayed,
+and rejects line breaks on submission. It does not silently remove hidden
+newlines. The displayed single-line value is the value submitted to the plugin.
+Clipboard text continues to support multiple lines.
+
+All calls use the canonical `ui.interact` RPC. No host DOM, native object,
+router, general command ID, or arbitrary IPC channel enters the SDK. Existing
+API versions remain offered. A plugin requiring the new workflow declares
+`features.required: ["host.interactions"]`; old hosts reject unsupported
+required features. Old plugins keep their existing APIs and permissions.
+
+Clipboard prompts restrict new permission decisions to once. Required or
+previously saved grants never skip the host action confirmation. Input and
+choice dialogs need their own declaration; a `views` or `menus` declaration is
+not permission to open them. Direction-specific clipboard permissions remain
+separate. The normal sample uses no network, host/session, filesystem, secret,
+Node, or shell capability.
+
+## User action and text sharing
+
+The host always displays plugin ID/version and a fixed source heading. Titles,
+choices, and text render as plain text. No plugin-supplied `userGesture` flag is
+accepted. The host creates an HMAC action token bound to request ID, runtime,
+plugin version, owner window, action kind, phase, nonce, and expiry. It sends
+that token only to the trusted host renderer. A response must come from the
+same WebContents and present the current token. Tokens are consumed before the
+first asynchronous action guard, so old-phase and duplicate responses cannot
+commit an action.
+
+Clipboard reading has two steps. **Preview clipboard** authorizes a host read
+into a bounded in-memory snapshot. The plugin receives nothing yet. **Share
+with plugin** sends exactly that snapshot after another active-identity check.
+Changes to the system clipboard after preview do not replace it. Cancel, lock,
+window loss, or revoke discards the snapshot. Copy shows the exact replacement
+text and requires its own confirmation before a native write.
+
+Shared text can be sensitive. The host explains that it becomes available to
+the plugin and its granted capabilities, including network access. Reading
+text does not approve a new network destination. This UI does not claim to
+prevent a plugin from transmitting derived text through an already granted
+capability. The example avoids network permission entirely.
+
+## Availability, limits, and cleanup
+
+The first slice supports the focused, visible, unlocked main window only.
+The host renderer registers readiness before any prompt can be presented.
+Other or unready windows return unavailable instead of inheriting an owner's
+authority. One interaction occupies an owner window at a time; there is no
+hidden prompt queue.
+
+`HostInteractionLimits` is the shared canonical source for 4,096 UTF-8 text
+bytes, 100 choices, 64 KiB serialized requests, one pending request per runtime,
+eight total, ten attempts per minute per runtime, and a 60-second lifetime.
+The current main-window-only adapter is narrower than the total pending bound.
+Admission runs before the permission prompt. The generic capability quotas and
+byte windows still apply. Text exceeding its cap is rejected without silent
+truncation. RPC uses the same generated deadline.
+
+After a native permission decision, an originally foreground request can wait
+at most one second for the same owner to regain focus. The host never focuses
+the window itself, presents content in the background, or postpones admission
+for an originally background request. Hide, lock, revoke, runtime stop, owner
+replacement and reload invalidate this admission, even during the permission
+dialog. Runtime activity and foreground state are checked again after waiting.
+
+Input cancellation, timeout, disable/update/crash/revoke, owner blur/hide/close,
+main-document reload, renderer exit, and app lock invalidate pending tokens.
+Same-document or subframe navigation does not permanently unregister a live
+host UI. Runtime teardown clears rate accounting. The broker checks runtime
+activity, owner readiness/focus, and app lock again immediately before native
+read/write or disclosure. A revoked operation cannot resume from a late reply.
+
+Commands normally retain the existing 30-second RPC deadline. A command that
+declares `interactive: true` must require `commands.interactive`; the host gives
+only that command a fixed 180-second total budget. This is not a global timeout
+increase or a UI/clipboard permission. Each individual host interaction still
+has its own 60-second deadline, including permission approval time.
+
+When an outer command fails, times out or is cancelled, the host cancels pending
+interactions and pre-prompt admissions for its captured runtime. On successful
+completion it closes orphan interactions once the last concurrent command ends.
+This cleanup does not reset rate/byte quotas and cannot affect a replacement
+runtime. A failure conservatively closes that runtime's single shared pending
+dialog even if another command is active. Late action tokens cannot commit a
+clipboard effect. Cancellation does not forcibly terminate arbitrary plugin
+JavaScript; ignored errors remain subject to permission, focus, rate and runtime
+limits. Do not start independent interactive workflows concurrently.
+
+Audit records contain only fixed event/action/kind fields. They contain no
+prompt, choices, user text, clipboard bytes, action tokens, or hashes derived
+from those values. A failed consent-audit write prevents the native action;
+no successful operation is reported for that failure.
+
+## Verification and native acceptance
+
+The [browser fixture](../../examples/plugins/host-interactions/README.md)
+exercises choice, input, copy, and clipboard transformation without a plugin
+view. Tests cover the actual runtime/SDK RPC path through permission middleware,
+actual host React dialog events against service-signed actions, denial, cancel,
+quota before prompt, overlong text, duplicate/forged actions, wrong owners,
+stale runtime, revoke during an asynchronous guard, audit failure, deadline,
+lock, blur, document navigation, and renderer teardown.
+
+Parent native acceptance uses a separately approved temporary example-plugin
+session and synthetic clipboard text. It needs no real hosts, credentials,
+network destination, shell, or persistent grant. Check both complete workflows,
+cancel before reading, cancel after preview, cancel copy, and disable/revoke
+with a pending dialog. Record the exact SHA and restore the test clipboard.
+Unit tests are not evidence of native Electron acceptance.
+
+Progress/toast, selected context and terminal sharing/drafts remain later slices.
+Navigation uses the existing sandbox ViewHost and adds no content permission.
+ThemePack and SFTP remain separate stages. This layer alone does not finish the
+capability coverage matrix.

+
+## Source and review follow-up
+
+A separate worktree at `59721f97172acffffe960a6268a2916a90a6c554` received only
+the logging backend overlay. Its logging/source/host regression command passed
+33 tests with no skips, including the real database replacement, encoded local-owner roundtrip and
+shutdown-drain case. The product branch does not import marketplace changes or bump its database
+schema.
+
+Independent review of the implementation follow-up found no remaining blocking
+findings. Independent runs passed 50 focused regressions with one expected source
+skip, 20 real-source integration regressions with no skips, and the logging UI
+interaction test. The reviewer made no edits and did not launch Electron. A further independent
+review of the newer encoded-local-owner contract found no issues; all six
+provenance tests passed on exact `59721f97172acffffe960a6268a2916a90a6c554`,
+with an additional probe confirming the local encoded owner.
+
+Fixed review findings have deterministic regressions: 31 days of low-volume
+appends and export cannot extend segment retention via mtime; stale sources cannot
+rotate away existing evidence; settings-write failure shows actual host state;
+log draining still completes when another shutdown stage rejects; and activation
+permission denial produces a fixed host record before runtime creation.

+# Local plugin logging
+
+Local file persistence defaults to off. The existing permission panel keeps its
+bounded security history independently. Changing or clearing local log files does
+not clear that history, grant permissions, or change a plugin's source.
+
+## Saved records
+
+`PluginLogService` extends the existing `PluginLogger`. It owns one shared sink at
+`<userData>/plugins/logs/host-v1`, outside plugin storage. Files contain JSON Lines.
+They stay on the device. No cloud upload or sync path includes these files or the
+local preference at `<userData>/plugins/local-logging.json`.
+
+Host audit records contain these facts:
+
+- Host-assigned plugin ID, installed version, archive SHA-256, runtime ID and kind.
+- Source ID, source kind, and namespace from an injected host provenance resolver.
+  Missing provenance is `null`. Manifest claims never imply an official source.
+- Registered host RPC operation, authorization outcome, result, numeric error code,
+  elapsed milliseconds, and available input/output `data` field byte counts.
+- Target identifiers from host authorization descriptors, replaced with a keyed
+  SHA-256 digest. The random key stays in memory, so target correlation lasts only
+  for the current app process.
+- Cumulative dropped-record and write-error counts at enqueue time.
+
+Runtime start, running, stop, failure, protocol rejection, and permission revocation
+produce separate host facts. Required and advanced activation permission failures
+produce a fixed `runtime.authorization` event even before a runtime ID exists. The registry records known RPC attempts even when
+validation or authorization fails. Authorization has separate `allowed`, `denied`,
+`not-required`, and `not-reached` states. A handler error after approval preserves
+`allowed` and records the failed result. Unknown values remain explicit.
+
+The byte counts measure UTF-8 bytes in a string `data` field, or byte length for a
+binary `data` field. They are not total wire traffic or decoded base64 size.
+Missing measurements are `null`. Streaming traffic outside these calls does not
+become a complete per-byte trace. Host facts describe what the host observed;
+plugin-returned success cannot prove an external side effect occurred.
+
+Host audit records never copy request bodies, response bodies, error messages,
+credentials, API keys, passwords, prompts, Notes, SQL, query results, or terminal
+content. Error codes come from the host RPC error set. No audit field accepts
+plugin-supplied source identity.
+
+## Optional plugin text
+
+Verbose diagnostics require a separate confirmation and turn off after app
+restart. Console messages, utility stdout/stderr, and `logger.write` text use
+`recordType: plugin-diagnostic` and `trust: plugin-authored-unverified`. The host
+adds identity outside the nested `diagnostic` object. Plugin fields named
+`pluginId`, `sourceId`, or `recordType` cannot replace reserved metadata.
+
+Text and structured fields have traversal, length, depth and total-record limits.
+Control characters are removed and known sensitive field names are replaced.
+These bounds do **not** make arbitrary plugin text safe. A plugin can put a secret
+under an unexpected key or inside a sentence. Review files before sharing them.
+No plugin text is persisted when verbose diagnostics are off.
+
+## Limits and lifecycle
+
+The shared sink retains at most three files of 1 MiB each, for at most seven days.
+Expiry uses the first host timestamp in each segment, read within the existing
+16 KiB record bound. Appending cannot extend a segment's lifetime. Export uses
+the same cutoff. A segment is removed when its first record expires; capacity
+rotation or segment expiry can remove later records sooner. Retention runs on
+startup, writes and hourly while the app runs, including after saving is disabled. The app cannot delete expired files while it is closed.
+The asynchronous queue accepts at most 256 KiB and records drops when full.
+Plugin text can occupy only a quarter of that queue, leaving capacity for host
+facts. Diagnostics also reuse the existing per-runtime log token bucket (240
+records per minute, with a 240-record initial burst), including console output. Each
+record is limited to 16 KiB. Oversized records are dropped. Write failures increase
+both drop and error counts and never fail the plugin operation.
+
+Turning saving off stops ingress, discards queued records that have not started,
+and waits for any current write. Runtime cleanup closes its diagnostic logger.
+App shutdown drains accepted writes through the existing manager shutdown path,
+including when another cleanup stage rejects. A failed settings write refreshes
+the checkbox from actual host state while retaining the original error.
+Clearing pauses ingress, discards queued records, waits for a current write and
+removes only the sink's known files. Cancellation leaves them intact. Export takes
+a bounded snapshot on the write queue and uses the native Save dialog.
+
+Files use mode 0600 and the directory uses 0700 on systems that support them.
+The host filesystem broker rejects writes to the audit directory and preferences,
+including canonical paths reached through symlinks. Plugin views cannot invoke
+log management IPC. No plugin API exposes audit mutation. These local files are
+not a tamper-evident ledger against the OS account or the development-only utility
+runtime, which already has full Node and filesystem authority.
+
+## Integration boundaries
+
+`PluginLogSettings` is a standalone compact component, mounted by a single import
+and element in `SettingsPluginsTab`. It adds no marketplace tab and changes no
+Installed, Official, Third-party, or source-database implementation. When merging
+with the marketplace branch, preserve this element in the host settings surface.
+
+`createPluginHostService` now injects the host-owned
+`createPluginLogProvenanceResolver(database)` by default. It consumes the source
+API confirmed on #3981 at `59721f97172acffffe960a6268a2916a90a6c554`:
+
+- `getActivePlugin(pluginId)` supplies the installed version, hash and source.
+- `getRetainedPluginSource(pluginId)` must agree with the installed source.
+- `privateOwner(pluginId)` supplies the opaque namespace.
+- `publicPluginId(owner)` must round-trip to the host-assigned public ID.
+
+The adapter receives host activation identity only, after the existing caller
+guards. It never accepts source or owner fields from plugin request parameters.
+Missing APIs, an absent installation, changed version/hash, a retained-source
+mismatch or an orphaned owner leave provenance explicitly unknown. There is no
+bare-plugin-ID fallback. The current host API encodes every owner, including
+local imports; a bare ID returned as an owner remains unknown.
+
+Each logger snapshots the source binding and supplies a host-only `isCurrent`
+check. The sink checks it at enqueue, after asynchronous preflight, before
+rotation mutations and immediately before appending. Records from a replaced or
+uninstalled source are dropped and counted. They are never relabelled as the new
+source. Already saved records keep their original identity.
+
+The optional `resolvePluginProvenance` override remains host-owned. Its result
+contains `sourceId`, `sourceKind`, `namespace`, and an optional synchronous
+`isCurrent` function. Source IDs and kinds accept 1-128 ASCII letters, digits,
+periods, underscores, colons and hyphens. Opaque namespaces accept the same
+characters up to 256 bytes. URLs, display names and plugin claims are not source
+identity. `official` describes the host-bound source, not official maintenance.
+
+The source database, marketplace page and sync implementation are unchanged by
+this adapter. It also needs no new shared host-registration change for transport.
+
+## Native QA with synthetic data
+
+Use the parent's working cloud GUI machine, a fresh isolated profile, and the
+synthetic fixture below. Do not retry the blocked local Electron launch.
+Do not open real logs or credentials. Capture screenshots of the settings card,
+verbose disclosure, and native Clear confirmation. Record a short flow:
+
+1. Open Plugins settings. Confirm both options are off and no host-v1 files exist.
+2. Enable local saving. Invoke a synthetic plugin host operation and deny another.
+3. Open the folder and export to a synthetic destination. Inspect parsed JSONL for
+   host identity, outcomes, target digests, and absence of synthetic secret bodies.
+4. Open verbose disclosure and cancel. Confirm no plugin text is saved. Confirm
+   the disclosure, write synthetic text, and verify the unverified record type.
+5. Disable/revoke the plugin. Confirm its later text cannot append. Restart the
+   app and verify that local saving remains selected but verbose text is off.
+6. Cancel Clear, then confirm it. Confirm the files are removed and the permission
+   panel's separate security history remains. Turn local saving off.
+
+The fixture is `electron/plugins/fixtures/local-logging-plugin`. Build it with:
+
+```sh
+node --input-type=module -e 'import { buildPluginPackage } from "@netcatty/plugin-cli"; await buildPluginPackage("electron/plugins/fixtures/local-logging-plugin", "/tmp/netcatty-local-logging-fixture.ncpkg");'
+```
+
+Package: 3,270 bytes. SHA-256:
+`c3770a55676ed708f01ec1e0e0b9968ffb5e03c02303ee7cb9f739bde27c9de0`.
+It declares only `commands` and `menus`; its command-palette entries are under
+**Logging QA**. **Emit synthetic diagnostic** tests redaction and nested spoofed
+identity fields. **Emit synthetic diagnostic burst** emits 400 console messages
+to exercise drop accounting. **Test undeclared network denial** must return denial
+without a prompt or network I/O because the manifest declares no network access.
+No request body or credential is supplied. Do not grant additional permissions.
+
+Capture the compact settings card, verbose disclosure and native Clear dialog,
+plus a short recording of the enable/emit/export/clear flow. On a #3981 integration
+build, a normal local import must log the source and opaque owner returned by its
+host database. On the older base, both stay explicitly unknown. Do not forge an
+Official source through fixture metadata. The real-source replacement case is
+covered by `pluginLogProvenance.integration.test.cjs` on the documented source
+integration worktree; it uses only temporary synthetic database state.
+
+The execution environment for this change could not launch Electron: its SUID
+sandbox helper is not root-owned with mode 4755. Electron aborted before opening
+any profile. No sandbox-disable retry or system-permission change was attempted.
+`npm run pack:dir` also failed while rebuilding the serialport native dependency:
+node-gyp tried to create `/home/agent/.electron-gyp` and received ENOENT. No
+system-directory change or packaging retry was attempted.
+
+Native screenshots and recording therefore remain pending in the parent desktop
+QA queue. Component interaction tests are separate evidence and do not replace
+that acceptance.

+selecting an already-open tool focuses that pane. Existing split menus include
+the same contributions and enforce unique tools and the eight-pane limit.
+Host-generated `plugin-view:<namespaced-view-id>` keys cannot replace built-in
+tools. Declared order and ID determine listing order; existing host docking,
+split resizing, magnification and close controls remain authoritative.
+
+The manager's internal Open event can select a page only when an open terminal
+is already selected. Otherwise the host asks the user to select a terminal; it
+does not connect or open a saved host. Launcher events target the session from
+the actual host terminal toolbar and are rechecked against current selection.
+These are internal host UI events, not public SDK router methods or trusted
+plugin `userGesture` flags.
+
+## Session ownership without data sharing
+
+The renderer binds each page to the actual terminal tab/workspace and current
+focused child session. It passes only `netcatty.surface: terminal-sidebar` as
+the view context. Internal ownership IDs are used for host state scoping, not
+returned to the page or treated as resource grants. A future selected-session
+data API must establish its own live endpoint authority and permissions.
+
+Changing terminal tabs or workspace focus closes the old native view before
+the new one can receive focus. Session removal, pane close, withdrawal of a
+visible contribution, disable/update/uninstall and runtime loss remove the
+affected page. Unknown saved routes are pruned without opening them; restoring
+a layout never grants the page or any session-data permission. State buckets
+are for the plugin's own UI data, not an isolation boundary against that same
+plugin's already-authorized own-state API. Ordinary KV does not become synced.
+
+PersistentSidePanelPortal moves a stable mount between the actual pane,
+magnification host and hidden parking host. There is no fallback native view
+over the entire terminal layer. Native geometry follows host DOM relocation,
+resize and scrolling; duplicate geometry updates are suppressed. Hidden/inert
+or parked mounts cannot reveal a native view.
+
+## Focus and security surfaces
+
+The existing sandbox ViewHost, immutable package/protocol checks, own-command
+and view-state boundaries are reused. Embedded pages start hidden. Host
+dialogs and overlapping portals hide them, and main-process App Lock closes
+them. Escape is host-owned and closes the plugin pane.
+
+Native WebContents focus is reported only to its actual owner's trusted
+renderer using a canonical instance-ID event. It updates the selected pane;
+it does not expose an Electron object to the plugin. Revealing multiple panes
+does not focus all of them: only the host-selected pane can request focus.
+The main process verifies actual owner, visibility, foreground and unlocked
+state before honoring that request. A plugin has no SDK method to invoke the
+host focus bridge. No session or page text is added to focus/audit logs.
+
+## Example and evidence
+
+`com.netcatty.session-scratchpad` 0.1.0 asks only for its own `views`. It saves,
+reopens and clears explicitly typed synthetic text. Package instructions and
+minimal native actions are in its README. Repository tests use real split
+tree, layout state, persistent portal, launcher and embedded-view components;
+host tests cover owner-bound focus, hidden/locked refusal and withdrawal.
+Feature and permission admission, limits, old APIs and previous Vault/command
+fixes are checked on the same stack. Independent review, exact-SHA CI and
+parent native QA remain separate acceptance gates recorded on the Draft PR.
+
+ThemePack, selected context/terminal drafts and SFTP handles remain subsequent
+bounded stages. Adding a sidebar page does not count as implementing them.

+# Host color theme packs
+
+Theme packs contribute validated light and dark host colors. They cannot inject
+CSS, access host DOM, change layout, load remote resources, replace security
+controls, or apply themselves. The feature is `appearance.theme-packs`.
+
+## Install and select
+
+Use normal Settings > Plugins to install and enable a package. In Appearance,
+choose a plugin theme for the current light or dark mode, then select Preview or
+Apply. Preview changes only the current window and writes no preference. Cancel,
+closing Appearance, changing mode, package withdrawal, or a newer committed
+revision ends that preview. Apply saves a host-owned, device-local choice and
+refreshes other application windows. Restore default clears the plugin choice
+for that mode and selects Snow or Midnight. Selecting a built-in swatch also
+clears that mode's plugin choice. Failures remain visible and are not reported as
+successful applications.
+
+The current view environment is globally broadcast. To keep temporary previews
+local, it publishes **committed** theme tokens only. Plugin pages follow an
+applied theme through their existing environment subscription; they do not
+receive another window's temporary preview. This does not add an owner-local
+view environment API.
+
+## Data-only package
+
+A pure theme uses `main: { "data": "theme" }`, contributes only `themes`, and
+omits permissions, activation events and companions. Its code runtime is never
+started, including by the runtime supervisor's startup or explicit-start path.
+Browser code plugins may also declare themes; choosing a theme does not start a
+runtime or grant their functional permissions. Only enabled packages appear.
+
+```json
+{
+  "features": { "required": ["appearance.theme-packs"] },
+  "main": { "data": "theme" },
+  "contributes": {
+    "themes": [{
+      "id": "com.example.colors.forest",
+      "label": "Forest",
+      "variant": "light",
+      "entry": "forest.json"
+    }]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This fragment belongs in an otherwise complete manifest. Contribution IDs use
+the package namespace. Palette paths are package-relative JSON files, included
+and checked by the normal CLI/package store. Hosts lacking the required feature
+reject compatibility deterministically.
+
+```json
+{ "formatVersion": 1, "base": "light", "colors": { "accent": "#166534" } }
+```
+
+Colors merge onto a fixed accessible light/dark host base. Only opaque `#RRGGBB`
+values and canonical semantic keys are accepted. The 15 editable keys cover
+background/foreground, card and popover pairs, secondary and muted pairs, accent,
+destructive and its foreground, border and input. Primary, ring and the accent
+foregrounds are derived together, matching the existing theme conversion.
+Nineteen output fields are not nineteen independent controls.
+
+Each package has at most 32 themes; each palette is at most 64 KiB; the catalog
+and validated cache contain at most 256 entries. Schema and contrast checks run
+before catalog publication. Text pairs and state colors require at least 4.5:1;
+control borders and focus information require at least 3:1 against their
+surfaces. Invalid palettes produce bounded, content-free diagnostics and cannot
+be previewed or applied. Files are read from verified immutable package roots,
+with bounded reads and a no-follow final file open.
+
+## Ownership, recovery and security appearance
+
+The host stores selections separately from plugin KV, settings sidecars and
+cloud sync. A reference binds plugin ID, theme ID, exact version, archive digest
+and variant. Application uses a revision check plus an active-package check just
+before the atomic preference/audit transaction. An audit write failure rolls
+back the selection. Audit records contain revision/action metadata, not palette
+or user content.
+
+Disable, uninstall, update, missing entries and integrity failures withdraw the
+palette. A saved missing reference remains visible as unavailable while the
+same-mode safe host palette is used; a changed package is not automatically
+applied. Preview owner and committed revision checks prevent a late cancellation
+from replacing another preview or a newer application.
+
+Host dialogs, App Lock, grant/revoke, host details, keychain panels, host-key
+prompts and the credential picker use fixed host security variables while a
+plugin theme is active. The pack controls no font, icon, opacity, CSS selector,
+button text or ordering. System forced-colors/high-contrast preferences use a
+fixed host high-contrast fallback. Personal accent, fonts, terminal choices and
+accessibility preferences retain their authority. Existing personal custom CSS
+remains a user setting and is not exposed to plugins.
+
+This first layer changes host semantic colors. Static terminal palette linkage,
+custom high-contrast variants, fonts, density, icons and backgrounds remain
+separate bounded follow-ups; their fields are not silently accepted here.
+
+## Example and validation
+
+`examples/plugins/forest-theme-pack` is a four-file data package with light and
+dark Forest accents. It requests no permissions and contains no JavaScript.
+The starter, Vault Scratchpad and Session Scratchpad pages now subscribe to the
+existing seven public HSL tokens through `theme.js`, dispose on page hide, and
+use responsive host-colored controls. No new styling RPC is needed.
+
+Local evidence includes normal CLI validation/packing, schema/admission and
+no-runtime checks; host catalog/identity/size/contrast/CAS/migration/atomic-audit
+checks; picker preview/apply/cancel/reset and stale-owner/withdrawal/high-contrast
+checks; and view-template initial/live environment/disposal checks. Exact-SHA
+CI, independent review and parent native multi-window/security-surface acceptance
+remain separate delivery gates. Local production builds do not establish them.
+
+### First review / CI delta
+
+The first review found that muted text was validated only against its namesake
+muted surface, although host descriptions and statuses also use it on background,
+card and popover surfaces. The validator now checks generic and muted text on
+all neutral surfaces that reuse those tokens. The white-on-white counterexample
+is rejected both by the pure validator and the host catalog. Forest light/dark
+palettes remain valid.
+
+The first exact-head test run `40317690002` failed with 15187 passing tests,
+one failure and 50 skips. Its single failure was the unchanged TERM-SSHD
+concurrent failure-release test expecting a particular invocation to reach OPEN
+first. Both calls perform asynchronous local-file preparation. The test now
+requires exactly one explicit Permission denied result, one successful result
+with matching bytes, and no rejected concurrent handle; it retains concurrency
+without assuming filesystem completion order. No transfer implementation changed.
+The test file's original SHA256 was identical in e5bd294c, 733f44c and fdeeaf74:
+`8b200d9f6a05ac5cd91fe4e0a95ea36a770d22267a6a0162b4c9fc927beb52a7`.
+This is source identity and a source-based ordering diagnosis, not a claim that a
+baseline runtime failure was reproduced locally. The updated test needs the new
+exact-head CI result. That same first run passed the added Vite browser-import
+smoke, resolving the earlier local temp-directory limitation for that head.
+
+### Native security-color delta
+
+Parent native acceptance at f868 verified zero-permission installation/enabling,
+light/dark Preview and Cancel, Apply across main/Settings windows, Restore
+default, restart persistence, and Disable fallback with the unavailable notice.
+The isolated schema-3 profile was not touched. These core results remain valid.
+
+Native QA also found Forest-colored inner New Host cards/inputs/Save and some
+grant-panel text inside an otherwise fixed security container. The cause was
+Tailwind's derived `--color-*` aliases: changing only raw semantic tokens at the
+boundary does not recompute aliases already resolved on an ancestor. The same
+existing security rule now fixes both raw tokens and those color aliases. The
+selector and protected regions are unchanged; ordinary application cards remain
+theme-controlled. No host, credential or grant operation changed.
+
+The regression renders the actual HostDetailsPanel (including General, Address,
+Credentials cards, real Inputs and Save), plus the real grant-panel root. It
+compiles the production Tailwind source, verifies which aliases those utilities
+consume, checks the fixed declarations, and verifies an ordinary card is outside
+the security selector. This is component/compiled-CSS coverage, not a claim of
+native computed-color acceptance. The parent's native color delta remains the
+final visual check. A local Chromium probe aborted because its SUID sandbox was
+not configured; sandboxing was not disabled to retry.

+# Vault extension pages
+
+`views.vault-pages` adds the `vault-page` view location. A package must require
+the feature and declare the existing `views` permission. Hosts without the
+feature reject the package deterministically. Existing view locations and API
+versions keep their behavior; there is no public plugin router or new Vault
+read/write permission.
+
+## User workflow
+
+Visible, enabled contributions appear in Vault's **Extensions** group. The
+host generates a namespaced route from the declared view ID, orders by declared
+order and ID, localizes the label, and resolves the declared icon through the
+existing safe icon pipeline. Built-in navigation and security entry points
+remain host-owned. Collapsed navigation retains source-labelled accessible
+buttons.
+
+Selecting a page mounts its existing sandbox WebContentsView in the Vault main
+content area. It does not create a top tab, use an aside overlay, open a
+connection, or share host/session/Vault records. The trusted host context
+contains only `netcatty.surface: vault-page`. The manager's existing Open action
+can select the same page through an internal host event; this is not exposed
+as a generic SDK navigation capability.
+
+The `vault-scratchpad` browser example lets the user type synthetic text, save
+it in the plugin's own view state, return to Hosts, reopen, and clear it. It
+does not create a Vault Note or enable automatic cloud sync. The fixture asks
+for only `views`; granting it does not approve another plugin or data access.
+
+## Ownership and lifecycle
+
+The host owns the route and validates the selected contribution against the
+current visible catalog. Missing IDs, disable/uninstall/update, a false `when`,
+failed activation or a host close return to Hosts. Focus restoration checks
+the current section and active tab so an old fallback cannot steal focus after
+a newer selection. Catalog listing does not activate a plugin.
+
+The embedded host reuses PluginViewHost, its ephemeral session, CSP, no-Node
+preload, protocol validation, own-command checks, and bounded own view state.
+No DOM or Electron object enters the SDK. A window-route-and-slot scope separates
+this page's state from other view placements; actual BrowserWindow ownership is
+validated separately and does not rely on that state key. This initial embedded slice
+closes on navigation away even if `retainContextWhenHidden` is declared.
+
+Each opening reserves an instance ID owned by its actual BrowserWindow before
+asynchronous activation. Close can cancel that reservation before native
+construction. Owner closure, shutdown and renderer cleanup prevent a late open
+from attaching; late responses are also closed by the renderer lifecycle
+controller. Current plugin version/runtime and `when` are checked before
+attachment and on subsequent contribution changes. Existing owner checks apply
+to bounds, visibility, close and view-state IPC.
+
+Host reload/renderer exit and a view renderer crash close the associated native
+page. Plain Escape in a Vault page is handled by the host and returns to Hosts;
+it does not dispatch a plugin command or expose a general navigation API.
+
+Native child views sit above React portals. A Vault page starts hidden; the
+trusted renderer reveals it only after checking the mount and host dialogs,
+menus, popovers, overlay panels and lock surfaces. Overlapping host surfaces
+hide the page. App Lock additionally closes all hosted plugin views and
+cancels pending opens in the main process; showing a view while locked fails.
+
+The shared manifest bound remains 128 views per package. Only one Vault page is
+mounted per owner; listing and routing do not create a background view queue.
+View-state JSON size limits and existing runtime/permission quotas remain in
+force. No page text or state is added to audit logs by this adapter.
+
+## Validation status
+
+Source tests cover normal catalog selection, the actual embedded content slot,
+host-modal occlusion, synchronous tab-away cleanup, withdrawn and invalid
+routes, internal host selection, delayed open cancellation, feature/permission
+admission, host ownership, `when` withdrawal and App Lock. Production build,
+aggregate host tests and precise-SHA CI are reported on the accompanying Draft
+PR. Parent native acceptance must use the packed browser example through
+normal Settings and record its exact source SHA/package hash. Unit tests do
+not substitute for that native acceptance.
+
+Terminal sidebar pages and selected-session DTOs remain separate stages. This
+page location does not make those capabilities available.
