files-app becomes url-state: the file browser is where the work happened, but where selection lives and who clears a query string are framework questions. The panel framework's version of the same question moves in beside them, extracted from the deep-read item, which keeps it as one of its three questions. Item ids changed with the theme. Done now deliberately — no board reads them yet, and this is the last cheap moment to move one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

**A deep read of the whole framework, to understand it and then improve it.** Low priority and
|
|
explicitly not pain-driven — it works, and it works well. But it was built fast and then added to,
|
|
repeatedly, and nobody has since sat down and read the whole thing at once.
|
|
Three questions to answer rather than assume: can the query strings come out of the flow; is there
|
|
a better shape for panel-to-panel communication than the current channel/URL split; and what does
|
|
the layout tree cost that a simpler one would not.
|
|
The first of those now has its own item, `url-state/can-the-query-strings-come-out-of-the-flow`,
|
|
filed with the file browser's work on the same question — that is where it has been thought about
|
|
hardest. It stays part of this read; it is not a separate effort.
|
|
**Fold the existing panel items into this** — the silent `key`/`appType` mismatch, the destructive
|
|
layout migration on a renamed key, and `docs/workspace-panel-todo.md`. They are symptoms of the
|
|
same unexamined design, and fixing them one at a time is how it stays unexamined.
|
|
Also a teaching exercise: the owner wants to understand it end to end, which is a reason to do it
|
|
properly rather than quickly.
