       that passes and reaches `PanelSlot.tsx:311-317`, which on a `locked` screen renders an empty
       teal-bordered box with no picker and no way for the user to recover. - `screens/QrTransferScreen.tsx:19-39` has the guard but no persist-back, so it re-normalises on
       every mount forever and never heals the row.
-- [ ] **Then collapse the three default-layout mechanisms**: per-screen `defaultLayout.ts` (×20),

+- [x] **~~Then collapse the three default-layout mechanisms~~ — inventoried and dropped.** Per-screen
+      `defaultLayout.ts` (21, not 20 — `Home/defaultLayout.tsx` is misnamed), `createDefaultLayout()`
+      in the core, and the 6-entry template array at `DashboardPreview.tsx:33-142`.
+
+      They are not three copies of one mechanism. `createDefaultLayout()` is a one-liner meaning "the
+      empty state of a workspace" and the templates are the picker for a *user-created* dashboard,
+      where the user chooses the apps afterwards. The 21 files are *built-in locked screens*, where
+      the apps are fixed. Collapsing across that line would merge two different questions.
+
+      Nor are the 21 duplication. Fourteen share a shape — flat horizontal split, nav on the left —
+      but across seven different size pairs, with panel ids that other code hardcodes (`components`
+      maps, `mobilePanelId`, `ChatPanelWrapper panelId=…`, and now the `appTypes` allow-lists). A
+      `splitH(...)` helper would turn 11 lines into 1 without removing a single decision: still 14
+      call sites, still 14 argument sets, plus a layer between "what does /music look like" and the
+      answer. That is compression, not deduplication.
+
+      What the inventory did turn up, none of which is an abstraction:
+      - **`DashboardPreview`'s edit path reset the layout on every submit** — renaming a dashboard or
+        editing its description threw away the panel arrangement, and dropped the terminal maps on a
+        rename. Fixed and verified against the running server (`cd1f161`).
+      - `Home/defaultLayout.tsx` is a `vertical` group with one child at `size: 100` — a bare panel
+        with a wrapper that does nothing, unlike Files/Terminal/Desktop next to it. Cosmetic: the
+        persisted `screens/home` row is what actually renders, so changing it changes nothing today.
+      - Browser and Email are the one genuine copy-paste pair (same nesting, same 25/75 and 60/40,
+        same trailing chat panel). One duplicate, and the two screens are diverging anyway.
