Authentication reaches zero -- sign-in, bootstrap, forgot and reset password. These
are the first words a new account reads, which is why the brief ranked them above
the larger screens.
DavAppPasswords had the third toLocaleDateString(undefined, ...) in the shell; it now
uses useFormat().date like the other two.
DebugPanel's three labels are keyed too. Worth knowing rather than acting on: that
panel is rendered behind showDebug, which Background.tsx hardcodes to false, so it
never appears. Keyed rather than deleted because removing it is not my call.
Only an address worked, though usernames are already unique and already
validated as /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$/ — which is what makes this safe: no `@`, so
the two namespaces cannot overlap and there is nothing to guess. An `@` decides
which lookup runs, and it decides it exactly.
The field is still called `email` on the wire, because every client sends that
name and renaming it would break them for nothing.
Fixed a latent bug while passing: the JWT took `email` from the REQUEST rather
than the row. Identical while an address was the only way in — and a username
in the `email` claim the moment it was not, leaving the DAV door, the managed
home path and everything else keyed on email looking up a user who does not
exist.
The login field is `type="text"`, not `type="email"`, or the browser refuses to
submit a username and validates someone out of an account they have.
`autoComplete="username"`, which is what password managers store beside a
password for a field that takes either.

an exclusionary rule, made structural. a plugin does not render a screen: it
contributes panels and says how they are arranged, and the shell renders
WorkspaceView around them.
web/panels.ts appRegistryMetas — at least one panel
web/layout.ts defaultLayout — how they are arranged
both required the moment web/ exists, and missing either is refused at discovery
by name and with the reason. tested:
probeplug: has a web/ directory but is missing web/layout.ts.
Every plugin route renders a Workspace: contribute panels and a layout,
not a screen.
there is deliberately no way to export a component. one that could would be free
to render a bare div, a full-page form, or its own navigation, and the platform
would become a shell hosting strangers' layouts rather than one application.
non-compliance is not so much refused as unrepresentable — there is nowhere to
put a screen.
the shell registers <prefix> and <prefix>/:section, exactly as the core screens
do, so a plugin's sections stay addressable and cmd-clickable, and panels read
useParams independently rather than passing state between themselves.
appTypes.allowed is pinned to that plugin's own keys, so a persisted layout
naming something else falls back instead of rendering another plugin's panel
inside this screen.
the example plugin is rebuilt to model it — two panels, a layout, one of them
calling its own /api/example/ping through useClient — because the reference
implementation is what everyone copies.
