Every locked screen shipped the same recursive normaliser: an ALLOWED_APP_TYPES set, a
normalizeLayout, a useMemo to apply it before the wrong panel could render, and a useEffect to
persist the fix. Fourteen copies, character-for-character identical except the two names — so a
fifteenth screen was a copy-paste, and a bug in the shape was a bug in fourteen places.
It is now `<WorkspaceView appTypes={{ allowed, fallback }} />`. WorkspaceView normalises before it
renders and persists the diff itself, which is the same two effects the screens were writing by hand.
One deliberate behaviour change: the framework normaliser drops `config` when it replaces an app.
The fourteen copies did `{ ...node, appType: fallback }`, keeping the old app's config on the panel
the new app now owns. That is the opposite of what `setApp` does, and a config belongs to whoever
wrote it.
Headscale keeps a local useMemo. Its check is not "is this appType allowed" but "is the server
picker present at all" — a layout saved before that panel existed is discarded for the default
wholesale. That is about a panel being missing, which the allow-list cannot see.
QrTransfer gains a persist-back it never had: it normalised on read and threw the result away every
time.
Tests: normalizeLayout is pinned on reference-identity for a no-op, null always allowed, config
dropped on replacement, rebuilding only changed branches, and idempotence — because a normaliser
that does not normalise to itself makes the persist-back an infinite write loop.

officer-photos owns the whole Immich contract: the instance URL and the API
key live there and nowhere else, and the platform side is an auth-gated
forwarder holding no credentials. The route surface is an allow-list keyed on
the first path segment, so admin, auth, api-keys, sessions, jobs, system-config
and libraries are unreachable by construction rather than by enumeration.
The UI mirrors Immich's own sidebar — timeline, explore, map, search, albums,
people, favorites, sharing, archive, trash — because the point of a sidecar
screen is to reproduce what the upstream already ships, then extend it. The
timeline reads Immich's columnar time-bucket format directly; selection lives
in the URL per docs/navigation-audit.md.
Two things worth knowing for anyone touching this later:
- `duration` is an integer count of milliseconds in Immich 3.0. It was an
HH:MM:SS.mmm string before, and every stale example still shows that form.
- the map container is sized with h-full/w-full, never `absolute inset-0`.
maplibre's stylesheet sets `position: relative; overflow: hidden` on the
element it is given, and an unlayered vendor rule beats Tailwind 4's layered
`.absolute` regardless of source order — so the div collapses to height 0 and
clips its own canvas away. Nothing errors: the GL context is healthy, tiles
download and pixels are drawn into a buffer nobody ever composites.
maplibre-gl is pinned to 5.x deliberately; 6.0 resolves a separate worker file
from import.meta.url, which Officer's index.html fallback answers with HTML.
