naming officerdev/chat in layout.ts rendered a second Hosts panel. the shared
registry is not the thing that decides: PluginScreen renders the workspace with
appTypes={{ allowed, fallback: allowed[0] }} where allowed is THIS plugin's own
panel keys, so an unrecognised appType silently becomes the first panel. that
boundary is deliberate — its comment says a persisted layout must not be able
to render another plugin's panel inside this screen — and it is a different
mechanism from seedAppRegistry merging the panels, which is what the last
commit's reasoning confused it with.
so the panel is ours and EmbeddableChat inside it is the platform's. it is
exported from officerdev for exactly this: the whole composer, transcript,
queue and model picker, with no second implementation to fall behind the
first.
it carries a two-sentence promptPrefix, which is per-panel and costs nobody
else's conversation anything. deliberately short: the skill holds the
knowledge and reaches every session for two lines, so anything longer here
would be the skill written twice and this would be the stale copy. all it says
is where the agent is standing, which is the one thing the skill cannot know.

the layout gains a third node across the bottom, a third of the height. a
conversation reads badly in a narrow column and the two lists do not, so the
chat gets width rather than a column of its own.
it is officerdev/chat, the platform's own panel, not a simplified one of ours.
seedAppRegistry merges the platform's panels and every plugin's into one
registry, so naming it is all it takes — and a second chat maintained here
would be the one that falls behind.
the skill is deliberately NOT scoped to these routes. that was considered and
dropped once it was clear what a skill costs: compileSkills emits a name, a
description and a path, and the body is only read if the agent decides it is
relevant. two lines in every conversation. scoping would have meant a platform
change to buy back nothing.
(affordances are the opposite — loaded in full, every conversation — so this
plugin ships none. by docs/affordances.md's own test the 404 quirk does not
qualify: it CAN be fixed instead, and the platform route already fixes it.)
what the skill carries: the routes, that meta.nginx_online is the field for
"is it down", that renewal is at 30 days so under 14 is a real failure worth
raising unprompted and nothing else will raise it, that the 404 has already
been interpreted before it reaches you, and that disabling a host takes a
domain off the internet so it is confirmed and never inferred. plus what is
not built, so it does not get offered.

reported on the first successful save: everything still showed no data and the
form stayed open, and a manual page refresh was the only way through.
two faults, one report. the form did not close itself — nothing cleared
?config, so a save left the settings view sitting on top of a plugin that now
worked. and the two reader panels are SIBLINGS in a workspace layout: they are
mounted independently, neither owns the other, and ConnectionPanel cannot call
into them. so they went on showing the failure they had loaded back when no
connection existed.
a channel is the sanctioned answer for exactly this — docs/navigation-audit.md
puts addressable state in the URL and leaves channels for "something changed,
re-read it". nobody wants to link to the moment after a save.
the nonce is a plain module counter, copied deliberately from officerdev's
channels.ts along with the reason: setSignal(n => n + 1) applies against the
value captured at render, so two bumps in one render window both compute
snapshot + 1 and the second overwrites the first — and nobody re-reads.
Date.now() is the same bug at millisecond scale.
disconnect bumps it too. the panels must stop showing hosts they can no longer
reach.

first real test of the settings form returned openresty's 502 Bad Gateway
document, markup and all, into the panel. installing this plugin restarts
officer, and a request made inside that window reaches nginx proxy manager,
finds nothing behind it, and gets a web page back. useClient throws the
response body as the message, so the panel printed it.
worth keeping the irony: this plugin manages the proxy whose error page it
could not read.
the check is the body's SHAPE, not the status, because there is no status that
separates them — api/router.ts uses 502 for "NPM answered and refused", which
is a real answer we must not swallow. ours arrives as a sentence, theirs as a
document. gateway status AND html means the hop in front of officer answered;
html on its own still is not a sentence and says so without the tags.
all three panels go through it now.

the plugin could not be configured. /_config had GET, PUT, DELETE and a test
that validates without storing, and nothing rendered any of it — the
connection had to be inserted by hand.
ConnectionPanel is both the wizard and the settings page, one component, the
same choice jellyfin's ConnectionSection makes and for the same reason: a
connection edited months later goes through exactly the path that stored the
first one. HostsPanel shows it when nothing is configured and on ?config=1,
which is in the URL so it survives a refresh. test comes before save and
stores nothing, so a wrong password cannot replace a working one. the secret
field starts empty even when one is stored, and empty means keep — that is
what lets a typo in the URL be fixed without going to find the password.
and while wiring the unconfigured case, it turned out that case never fired.
both panels read `(error as { body?: Failure }).body` to decide whether a
failure was unconfigured, unauthenticated or unreachable. useClient throws
ApiError(status, message) and has no `.body` at all, so that was always
undefined: every failure fell through to the generic message, and the careful
explanation of NPM's 404-means-credential quirk was written, shipped and
unreachable. asFailure now reads the STATUS, which the router already chooses
deliberately — 409 nothing stored, 503 no answer, 502 answered and refused.
owner-only is explained rather than reported. a member hitting 403 here reads
why: it is an admin login and NPM has no read-only role.
still not installed, still no db:push.

reads hosts and certificates against a live NPM 2.15.1. one grantable
permission, with /_config owner-only — reading which hosts are healthy
is worth sharing, an NPM admin login is not, and NPM has no read-only
role.
the quirk that shapes the whole plugin: NPM answers an unauthenticated
read with 404, not 401, because its router only registers a resource
once a token is present. so 'not signed in' and 'no such endpoint' are
the same response, and a naive client tells you a feature is missing
when your password is wrong. the client mints a fresh token and retries
once, then reports a persistent 404 as likelyAuth.
certificates sort by expiry rather than name, which is the only ordering
that answers a question.
no create/edit/delete and no cert issuance: NPM's own UI does those and
a wrong proxy host takes a domain off the internet.
