The step phase A was building toward. A1 made the gated count true, A2
made it a durable state, A3 made it visible in Subscriptions — but
Subscriptions is where you go once you already suspect something. This
is the line that reaches someone who wasn't looking.
A thin grey strip above the feed, front door only: last check, sources
failing, sources you can't see. Only the actionable items take a
colour, and nothing renders at zero — a permanent "0 failing" trains
you to skip the line, which would hide the real number when it appears.
Two predicates, defined once. The ribbon counts and the surfaces it
links to have to agree on what "failing" and "no access" MEAN, or the
ribbon says 3 and the card shows 4. They live in db_helpers, which
exists for exactly this reason (its docstring: divergent copies are how
the race bugs crept in). Not in source_service, because
scheduler_service needs them too and source_service already imports
scheduler_service — the other direction is a cycle.
Counting deliberately spans all ENABLED sources rather than the
auto_check subset scheduler_status already walks: a source erroring on
a manual-only artist is still erroring. Disabled sources count for
nothing, which is what makes issue 1285 the real escape hatch for a sub
you stopped paying for.
Extends the existing schedule-status endpoint rather than adding a
parallel aggregate — the store already fetches it. Two scalar COUNTs.
The status filter is now URL-addressable, which it had to be for the
ribbon's links to land anywhere: a count that drops you on an
unfiltered list makes the reader redo the filtering the ribbon just
did. Mirrors how artistFilter already reads from route.query.
Front-door-only via a route prop, not a route.name check, so the view
doesn't need to know what it's mounted as and the router states the
intent in one place. Inside Browse's Posts tab you're looking FOR
something and the hub is one click away.
The fetch is swallowed on mount by design (rule 164): this is an aside,
and the feed must render whether or not the status call succeeds.

Moves FRONT_DOOR from /showcase to /latest. Showcase is a random
TABLESAMPLE — lean-back, and it can never tell you anything is wrong.
The feed is the only view where a failing source surfaces on its own,
as a creator who has gone quiet. The per-artist "new since last visit"
badges (#597) were a workaround for this view not being the door.
Showcase is demoted to a nav entry, not removed. Nothing is being
replaced, so rule 22's delete-the-legacy-path does not apply.
Deviation from the filed plan, deliberate: the step said write a new
LatestView.vue. Rejected — PostsView is ALREADY a self-contained feed
(own container, own store, infinite scroll, filters, deep-link
anchoring, empty state), and Browse only ever wrapped it in a tab
strip. A new view would have duplicated 231 working lines to gain
nothing. Mounting PostsView directly at its own route IS the whole
difference the promotion was after: a door you arrive at, not a hub
you navigate out of. Rule 28.
Backend untouched, as scoped — PostFeedService.scroll already does
cursor-paginated newest-first.
Two things this shook loose:
PostsView's deep-link "All posts" button was a hard `{ name: 'posts' }`,
which redirects into Browse. Correct while the view only ever rendered
inside Browse's tab; from the front door it would have yanked the
operator sideways into a different surface. Now returns to the current
route minus post_id, so Browse keeps its tab and any active scope.
The README claimed "A Showcase front page". That block is the SOURCE
the release notes quote (scripts/release_notes.py product_overview),
not a generated copy, so it is fixed here — a document contradicting
the code is the characteristic defect of the public-surface area.
No stickyChrome on the route: unlike Browse/Gallery/Settings this view
has no sticky sub-header for the nav to butt against.
The router spec pinned FRONT_DOOR to /showcase and now pins /latest,
plus that Showcase stayed reachable and in the nav — the demotion is
asserted, not assumed.

The surface shipped at /system with no nav entry, reachable only by
clicking the health dot beside the brand — a target you have to already
suspect something is wrong to go looking for. Operator-flagged: it needs
a path someone can walk to.
Settings is where you go to ask the instance about itself, so the view
becomes a tab there, beside Activity — Activity answers "what is the
queue doing", System answers "is anything left to do it".
- SystemView.vue moves to components/settings/SystemHealthTab.vue; the
content is unchanged apart from shedding its own container and h1.
- SettingsView adopts useTabQuery (the composable Browse and
Subscriptions already use) so a tab can be linked TO. The health dot
now points at ?tab=system, and /system redirects there so the previous
build's link and any bookmark still land.
- The tab drops its own 10s poll. v-window keeps a visited item mounted
rather than destroyed, so that timer would have gone on firing behind
Maintenance — and TopNav already polls the same store every 15s for
the dot.

The ask was a surface AND a path. The path is the part that was missing —
everything that could answer "is it running" lived inside Settings, which you
only open once you already suspect something.
**Re-used the indicator that already existed rather than adding a fourth.**
There were three partial surfaces: TopNav's health dot, PipelineStatusChip's
pulse, and the Settings Activity tab. None answered "is every part alive", and
a fourth would have made the question harder to answer, not easier.
TopNav's dot read /api/health — a no-DB liveness check proving only that the
WEB container is serving. Green there while a worker was dead is exactly what
it looked like, and a green dot beside the product name gets read as
"everything is fine". It now reflects the whole-stack verdict, and it is a
link: the place someone already looks when they suspect something is now also
the way to the detail.
The tooltip names the actual problem. "Scheduler has not checked in for 6 min"
sends someone somewhere; "something is unhealthy" sends them hunting.
/system is deliberately NOT in the nav row — TopNav builds that from routes
with a meta.title, and a sixth top-level tab for a page visited twice a year
costs more attention than it returns. It is reached from the dot.
The page lists every learned part with its state as a sentence rather than a
chip, and prints the staleness thresholds it was judged by, taken from the
endpoint so the UI keeps no second copy of them. PipelineStatusChip still
hand-rolls its own 3-minute scheduler window; that is now a duplicate of a
threshold the server owns, and worth collapsing once this has been watched
working.
The stores stay separate on purpose: system.js is "can I reach the API",
systemActivity.js is "what is the pipeline doing", systemHealth.js is "is
anything broken". Running and alive fail independently — an idle stack with a
dead worker looks identical to a healthy one on every activity surface, which
is the whole reason this milestone exists.
Not yet verified against a real stopped service. Rule 12 keeps a local stack
out of it, and frontend CI has no Vue type-check or visual regression, so this
needs an operator look rather than a green lane.

The TopNav and each sticky sub-header pinned beneath it (Gallery's filter bar,
the Browse/Series/Settings/Subscriptions tabs bars) each painted their OWN
dark-to-transparent gradient (Gallery) or a solid surface band (the rest), so
the fade read as happening twice — dark, fade out, then dark again — instead of
one gradient flowing from the nav down through the sub-nav.
Operator asked to treat the sub-nav as part of the nav with a single gradient.
New shared .fc-chrome-continues primitive (app.css): the nav fades from opaque
to a shared --fc-chrome-seam alpha (on views flagged meta.stickyChrome), and the
sub-header continues from that exact seam alpha to transparent over its own
height. Both reference the same var so the alphas meet at the 64px boundary — no
re-darkening, no doubling. Percentage stops keep it spanning the filter bar's
expanding refine panel; the primitive's blur keeps tabs/controls legible where
the old solid bars had none. --fc-chrome-seam is the single tuning knob.

Reworks Explore from "anchor + neighbour grid + cluster tag-gap rail" into a
persistent 3-pane workspace that unfolds the image modal so you can tag while
rabbit-holing (operator concept 2026-06-26):
- LEFT neighbour grid (larger thumbs), click = walk; breadcrumb retained.
- CENTER light viewer — reuses ImageCanvas + ImageMetaBar(:image) for the
focused image; "Open full viewer" still launches the overlay modal.
- RIGHT the modal's TagPanel, hosted on the anchor for modal-parity tagging
(chips, autocomplete, suggestions + Accept, fandom-on-chip, T/"/" focus).
Reuse without destabilising the audited modal store: TagPanel and
SuggestionsPanel gain an optional `host` prop (default = modal store, so the
image modal is unchanged); the explore store implements the same small
tag-CRUD surface (current/currentImageId + reloadTags/addExistingTag/
removeTag/createAndAdd) over the anchor. ImageMetaBar gains an optional
`image` prop for the same reason.
Drops the mass/cluster tagger (TagGapPanel deleted; clusterIds/thumbById
removed) — per-image tagging feeds the per-tag reference-embedding centroid
better than bulk ops.
Nav: keep the Explore tab but bare /explore now SEEDS a random image
(GET /api/showcase?limit=1 → /explore/:id) so the tab kick-starts a rabbit
hole; explicit meta.navOrder pins nav order (Explore after Gallery) since
router.getRoutes() doesn't preserve declaration order.
Note: the backend cluster tag-gaps route/service (#94a) is now frontend-orphaned
— left in place; flag for a separate cleanup.

Cluster C frontend, milestone #94.
#94b Explore walk: new /explore/:imageId route + ExploreView + explore store.
Anchor (reuse /api/gallery/image), neighbour grid (reuse /api/gallery/similar,
24), click a neighbour to re-anchor; in-memory breadcrumb that trims on
backtrack (route is the source of truth). Empty/loading/error + no-embedding
states.
#94c tag-gap closing: components/explore/TagGapPanel — fetches
/api/images/cluster/tag-gaps for the anchor+neighbours, a consensus-threshold
slider (default 60%), per gap shows present/total + the missing thumbnails +
'Apply to N missing' → /api/tags/images/bulk/tags (source manual) → re-fetch.
#94d entry points: 'Explore' button in the modal RelatedStrip; the TopNav entry
comes free from the route's meta.title.
#4a metadata HUD + #4b split Download: new modal ImageMetaBar (always-on, above
ProvenancePanel) shows dimensions/size/type and a split Download button
(default Download, chevron → Copy link via utils/clipboard — no clipboard-image,
rule 95).

Posts, Artists, and Tags are the three 'browse the library by an axis'
surfaces; Subscriptions stays purely management (operator-asked 2026-06-09).
New BrowseView renders them as tabs (?tab=posts|artists|tags); only the active
tab mounts. The old standalone paths become redirects into the matching tab,
preserving deep-link query (/posts?post_id=N → /browse?tab=posts&post_id=N) and
keeping the route names so existing { name: 'posts'|'artists'|'tags' } links and
path pushes still resolve. Nav now reads Showcase · Gallery · Browse · Series ·
Subscriptions, with Settings pinned right.
Test: /browse resolves; /tags and /artists redirect into their tabs; a posts
deep link survives the redirect.

Completes FC-6.2 with the UI.
- PostSeriesMenu: a "Series ▾" control on each post card — "New series from
this post" (promote → navigates to manage) and "Add to existing series…"
(dialog with a browsable picker loaded from GET /api/series, client-side
filtered — avoids the empty-autocomplete #712 trap).
- SeriesView (/series): a top-level Series browse grid — cover, name, artist,
chapter/page counts, gap badge; sort recent|name|size; cards → manage/read.
meta.title adds it to the nav automatically (peer of Posts).
- seriesBrowse store for the list.

ArtistView set document.title to "<artist> — FabledCurator" on load but nothing
reset it when navigating away, so the artist name stuck on the Showcase/Gallery
tab title (operator-flagged 2026-06-07). Add a router.afterEach that sets the
title from meta.title on every navigation; detail views with no meta.title reset
to the default and then set their own dynamic title.

Replaces the three top-level routes with a single `/subscriptions` parent
owning the whole download-pipeline domain. Internal tab state via `?tab=`
query param, mirroring ArtistView's pattern. TopNav auto-drops the two
removed entries (route-driven via meta.title). Bookmark-safe redirects
from `/credentials` and `/downloads` route into the appropriate subtab.
**Subtab 1 — Subscriptions (default).** Carries over the existing
artist-grouped expandable table; adds (a) status filter dropdown, (b)
bulk-select column with Enable/Disable/Delete-all actions, (c) GS-style
color-coded `PlatformChip` per distinct platform in the collapsed row.
Reuses SourceRow, SourceHealthDot, SourceFormDialog, ArtistCreateDialog.
**Subtab 2 — Downloads.** Full GS dashboard. Five colored stat chips up
top (Queued/Running/Completed/Failed/Skipped, sourced from new
`GET /api/downloads/stats?window_hours=`). Popover-style filter UI
(Status/Source/FromDate/ToDate) with active-filter pills below.
Maintenance menu wraps existing /api/import/retry-failed and
/api/import/clear-stuck endpoints; Export-failed-logs item disabled with
a "v2" tooltip. Per-row Retry preserved via existing DownloadEventRow.
**Subtab 3 — Settings.** Four sections: ExtensionKeyBar (top), GS-style
per-platform CredentialCard grid (md=6 v-row/v-col, dashed border if
unset / accent border if set, expandable how-to panel), Downloader card
(rate limit, validate_files), Schedule defaults card (default interval,
event retention, failure warning threshold). The Downloader and Schedule
sections were extracted out of components/settings/ImportFiltersForm.vue
— SettingsView's Import tab now owns only image-import filters.
**Backend:** new `GET /api/downloads/stats` returns
{pending, running, ok, error, skipped} count grouped by status over the
configurable window. Status keys stay raw from the ENUM; UI does the
display-label mapping. Two integration tests pin the response shape +
window_hours validation.
**Util:** `frontend/src/utils/platformColor.js` — single source of truth
for the six platforms' color + icon + label, mirroring GS's palette
(patreon=red mdi-patreon, subscribestar=amber mdi-star,
hentaifoundry=purple mdi-palette, discord=indigo mdi-discord,
pixiv=blue mdi-alpha-p-box, deviantart=green mdi-deviantart). Unknown
platform falls back to grey + mdi-web.
Deferred (explicit non-goals): subscription import/export, "Trigger Due
Now" scheduler-tick button (needs new backend endpoint), Export Failed
Logs CSV dump.
GalleryView wires the grid + timeline + modal together. The URL is the
source of truth for which image (if any) is open — clicking an item pushes
?image=N; closing the modal pops it. This makes deep links shareable and
the back button work intuitively.
Below 900px viewport, the timeline drops below the grid as a horizontal
strip so it doesn't compete with thumbnail space on mobile.
Modal store + ImageViewer are placeholders here; real implementations land
in Batch 5 (Tasks 19–22).

Overview tab shows total images/tags/storage/pending/failed using
Fraunces for the big numbers. Inline alert nudges the operator to the
Import tab when pending tasks exist. Polls /api/system/stats every 5s
while the tab is visible (pauses when the document is hidden).
Import tab references three placeholders (TriggerPanel/FiltersForm/
TaskList); real implementations land in Task 15.
Router replaces the placeholder view for /settings with SettingsView.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Nav lists every FC-2 and FC-3 surface with a placeholder view that names
the sub-project that will fill it. System store polls /api/health on mount
and renders a status pip in the nav footer.
Favicon uses Curator's aged amber accent (#A87338).
