Operator: 'option A (tabs)' (#369#issuecomment-3434) +
'yes terminal can be a separate page' (#369#issuecomment-3437).
## Tab framework
`index.html` becomes a 3-tab dashboard with a sticky chrome header:
- `◆ SW4RM ◆` — containers list (the central thing)
- `◆ Y3R C4LL ◆` — pending approvals + operator-targeted questions
- `◆ SYST3M ◆` — meta inputs + rebuild queue + reminders + tombstones
Hash routing: `#swarm` / `#call` / `#system` (empty → SW4RM).
F5-reloadable + back-button-aware without a router framework.
SSE stays alive across tab switches — count pills on inactive tabs
update live so the operator never loses pulse on what's happening
elsewhere:
- SW4RM: containers with needs_update
- Y3R C4LL: approvals.pending + questions.pending (attn-coloured pill)
- SYST3M: rebuild_queue entries in Queued|Running
Pills hidden when count is zero. setInterval(1s) polls the existing
state stores (cheap, no per-renderer hookup needed).
## FL0W as its own page
The all-agents chat moves to /flow.html — full-viewport vibec0re
layout mirroring the per-agent live page (#362):
- Fixed-overlay frosted-glass header at top (back link + title +
notif controls), backdrop-filter blur shows the scrolled chat
text behind.
- Full-viewport terminal, scroll-padded for the floating chrome so
first/last rows stay reachable.
- Fixed-overlay frosted composer at the bottom.
- Operator inbox surfaces via a pill (📬 inbox · N) in the upper
right — click opens the side-panel flyout with the message list.
In the dashboard tab strip, FL0W is the right-most entry but
renders as a `<a class="tab tab-link" href="/flow.html">` — clicking
navigates to the page rather than swapping a pane. Same pattern
back from flow.html via the `← d4shb04rd` link.
## Implementation notes
- New `/flow.html` page rendered by the same bundled `app.js` — the
flow page just doesn't have the dashboard-chrome DOM, so the
matching renderers no-op silently (each `if (!el) return`).
Avoids splitting the bundle for v1; can extract later if size
becomes a concern.
- `Panel` module gains `openNamed(name, …)` + `refresh(name, …)` —
the legacy untyped `open(title, content)` calls clear the owner,
so file-preview / diff / log drill-ins behave unchanged. `refresh`
is no-op when a different view owns the panel, so live message
events re-render the inbox flyout only when it's actually open.
- `renderInbox` updates BOTH the dashboard's inline `#inbox-section`
(now living on the flow page) AND the flow page's pill count +
side-panel refresh. The dashboard's empty FL0W tab is removed —
inbox + message flow + compose box only exist in flow.html.
- Banner shrinks to a thin Catppuccin gradient strip at the top of
the dashboard chrome (dropped the multi-line ASCII art —
affectionate but pure chrome budget in a tabbed layout).
- `build.mjs` copies both `index.html` + `flow.html` into dist.
## Validation
`npm run build` clean. Dashboard bundle deltas:
app.js 150kb → 152kb (tab routing + count pills + named-Panel)
dashboard.css 33kb → 38kb (tab chrome + flow page layout)
+ dist/flow.html 4.4kb
Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container
(no JS engine) — drafting as a PR for operator visual review on
next deploy. Worth eyeballing:
- Tab switching feels right; counts update live across SSE events
- FL0W page reads like the agent live page (frosted header + composer)
- Inbox pill opens flyout; live message arrivals refresh it
- Back link from flow → dashboard returns to last tab via the
URL hash (browser remembers the hash across page nav)
Closes#369.
