Verifying browser-visible plugin CSS needs a rebuild build:web does not
perform: WorkspaceBrowser.module.css never reaches apps/web/dist, because
ui-workspace loads as a runtime plugin with its CSS inlined into
lib/client.js by that package's own bundle script. A negative control that
reruns only build:web exercises a stale bundle and passes with the
declaration removed, which reads as a vacuous test rather than an invalid
control. No script in the web lane does this rebuild, so every scroll-region
or plugin-CSS change hits the same trap.
Every scaffold-importing e2e compiles on the host plane, so the new file
goes in tsconfig.host.json's include list and apps/web/tsconfig.json's
exclude list. Without both, tsc -p apps/web/tsconfig.json fails with
TS6059/TS6307.
design-platform.css declared four --dsw-alias-scrollbar-* tokens in both
palettes that no rule read, so every scrolling region rendered the user
agent's own scrollbar and the dark theme showed a light native bar against
dark surfaces.
The symptom that surfaced the gap was in the sidebar: the workspace
browser's session list is its only scrolling region, and each row's
trailing content (the relative timestamp, and the hover action buttons
that replace it) is `flex: none` flush against the row's 8px right
padding, so an overlaid scrollbar painted on top of the timestamp.
ui-theme/styles/scrollbar.css becomes the sole consumer of the four
tokens, imported by the web shell's base.css after design-platform.css
because it reads that sheet's tokens. The rules sit on `body`, not
`html`: the alias tokens are declared on `body`, custom properties
inherit only downward, and from `html` they resolve to the
guaranteed-invalid value with scrollbar-color computing to `auto`.
scrollbar-width and scrollbar-color are declared on `body, body *` rather
than inherited, because inheritance would carry the color already
substituted at `body` and an elevated surface could not retint its own
thumb; scrollbar-width does not inherit at all.
Both the standard properties and the ::-webkit-scrollbar pseudo-elements
read one indirection pair bound to the l1 tokens, so an elevated surface
rebinds that pair to the l2 tokens once and retints both renderings. The
command popup, slash menu, model-select panel, and settings panel do so,
which gives the l2 tokens their first consumers.
WorkspaceBrowser's `.list` declares scrollbar-gutter: stable, keeping the
bar beside the rows. `stable` rather than `auto` so the reservation holds
when the list is short enough not to scroll: expanding a workspace group
would otherwise shift every row sideways at the moment it starts
scrolling.
The rebase onto master picked up #585 (agent-loop message machine), which
removed the request-only session-prefix seam; the unified sourced-message
decision now owns the mechanism and the note's own banner declares the
seam removed. Archive the triplet and rewrite the skill-system note's
catalog mechanism against the shipped agent/step sourced injection,
keeping the archived note as the intentional historical citation.
Re-checked the other notes master added or amended (provider retry
policies, request-error retry action, observable state machine, OTel
telemetry, dependabot): their supersessions were already executed
upstream in the same PRs; no further active note qualifies.
