TODO.md had reached 1050 lines and 72 open items across 28 sections, read mostly on a phone. It is now a directory: todo/<theme>/<item>.md, one card per file, with frontmatter carrying id, status, created date and order, and the prose body copied across verbatim. TODO.md becomes a generated index (bun run todo:index). Dates: where an item's prose stated one it is used; otherwise its old section's; otherwise 2026-08-20, floored at the day before the split rather than invented. date_source records which. Shaped for a two-way Kanban board, filed as todo/tooling — a card is a file, id is the identity, frontmatter is the machine's half and the body is the owner's.

Renaming a panel key is a silent data migration, and the repair is destructive. A saved layout
holds appType strings. normalizeLayout replaces any appType not in the allow-list with the
caller's fallback, and WorkspaceView.tsx:97 writes that back — so a renamed key turns every
saved layout into N copies of whichever panel is allowed[0], permanently, on one page load.
Renaming headscale-* → offscale-* did exactly this: /offscale rendered three server pickers,
ServersView never mounted, and it survived every restart because the code was correct and the
data was not (2026-08-17, ed3806f9).
Plugin screens are now cleared at install, which covers plugins and nothing else. The general fix
is a rule about wholesale mismatch: a layout in which NO panel has a recognised appType is
residue from older code — discard it and use the screen's default, rather than collapsing it.
fallback: allowed[0] is arbitrary (it is whatever panels.ts happens to list first) and should
probably not be a per-panel substitution at all.
