Add a favorites tab/panel to the file browser. Make it work. Wanted 2026-08-25. A place to pin folders (and/or files) for one-click return, alongside the existing browse view — not a design proposal, a working feature.
Nothing to build on directly: no favorites concept exists anywhere in FileBrowser/ today, and no prior
todo mentions one. This is new ground, not a gap in something half-built.
What it needs, in rough shape: a way to mark a path as favorited, storage for the set (per user —
user_settings's jsonb, per settings/a-user-s-settings-should-export-and-import-as, is the shape
already used for this kind of small per-account preference, though a dedicated table is also
defensible if favorites want their own timestamps or ordering), a tab or panel surfacing the list, and
navigation from an entry back into the browser at that path.
Ties into two things already filed rather than duplicating them: the URL model in todo/url-state/ —
a favorited path should be a real link (folderHref), and a panel's folder is currently NOT
addressable outside /files itself, which a favorites panel will run into immediately if it lives in a
panel rather than the main screen. And a folder versus a file favorite may behave differently on open
(navigate vs. preview), worth deciding rather than assuming both work the same way.
