Restores a working browser surface for the journal feature, which was
left UI-less when Stage F of the original plan was deferred. JournalView
is a fresh write (not a rename of BriefingView) — drops the briefing-
specific weather panel, news cards, RSS reactions, article-discuss
button, and setup wizard, since none of those have journal-backend
equivalents.
What it does:
- Fetches /api/journal/today on mount; shows today's daily-prep card
(rendered from msg_metadata.kind === 'daily_prep' sections)
- Day picker via /api/journal/days lets you switch to past days
- Refresh-prep button hits /api/journal/trigger-prep
- Center is the existing ChatPanel pinned to today's journal conversation
(so the chat input + SSE + tool-call cards inherit unchanged)
- Right sidebar keeps the upcoming-events list (uses the generic
/api/events endpoint, not a briefing-specific one)
Also:
- Replace the dead Briefing API client functions with Journal equivalents
(getJournalConfig, saveJournalConfig, getJournalToday, getJournalDay,
getJournalDays, triggerJournalPrep, list/update/deleteJournalMoment).
- Remove NewsView.vue — it was orphaned (no route, no nav) and depended
on the deleted /api/briefing/* endpoints. If a standalone news surface
is wanted later it'll need to be rebuilt against new endpoints.

Updates user-visible branding across frontend (PWA manifest, page title,
Settings, push fallback), backend (email templates and subjects, LLM
system prompt, CalDAV displayname, SMTP from-name default), README,
quickstart compose, and MCP server description.
Also updates the CI image path and quickstart image reference to
git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/fabledscribe in preparation for the
Forgejo repo rename. Internal Python package, env vars, and database
schema unchanged.

Title input bumps to 1.4rem with Fraunces serif (matches the
design language's heading treatment) and gains 0.9/1.1rem padding
on the title row for breathing room.

- Drop border-bottom lines between header / title / tags / toolbar
so they read as one continuous input surface.
- Add a single border-top above the editor body so the body's
existing boundary stays clear.
- Notes rail gets --color-bg-card so it no longer visually merges
with the tasks panel (both previously shared --color-surface).
Dropped the rail's border-right since the tint now carries the
division from the editor pane.

- Widget is now a bottom-anchored dock spanning the content width
(max-width 1200px, rounded top corners, bg-secondary, upward shadow)
instead of a floating corner box.
- Drop the closed state and ✕ button — widget is always present,
matching KnowledgeView's pattern. Collapsed = input-only dock,
expanded = full ChatPanel above the input.
- Grid ratio 1fr:2fr → 0.85fr:2.15fr so tasks get a touch less room
and notes a touch more.
- Workspace note-rail (the notes picker column inside the editor)
widens from 155px to 200px so note titles breathe.

Clicking the ▾ button reveals conversations where
rag_project_id === projectId, most-recent first. Selecting one
repoints the widget (and the workspace_conv_{pid} storage key) to
that conversation without deleting the previously active one.

WorkspaceView now renders tasks (1fr) on the left and notes (2fr) on
the right with the floating WorkspaceChatWidget layered on top. The
widget owns the SSE streamingToolCalls watcher and emits note-changed
and task-changed events; the view listens and reloads the affected
panel refs.
Dropped from the view:
- ChatPanel mount, empty-state quick chips, and Chat header toggle
- The conversation lifecycle + SSE watcher (moved into the widget)

Modeled on KnowledgeView's mini-chat. Three states (closed handle,
collapsed input-only, expanded full panel). Takes over the project
conversation lifecycle from WorkspaceView (resume-or-create on mount,
delete-if-empty-and-new on unmount) and adds a restart action. Reuses
ChatPanel for expanded view and ChatInputBar for collapsed.

Fetch and display the next 14 days of events in the briefing right column,
grouped by day with color dots, time, and location. Fills the empty space
below the weather card.

Add a refresh button (↻) to the weather section header in BriefingView so
users can manually re-fetch weather data (needed after deploying the hourly
precip changes to populate the cache). Update the existing POST
/api/briefing/weather/refresh endpoint to return full card data instead of
just location keys.

Fetch hourly precipitation probabilities from Open-Meteo alongside daily
forecasts. Generate human-readable precip summaries ("Rain likely 2–5 PM",
"Rain likely all day") for today and each forecast day. Display today's
summary as a styled callout and show peak precipitation hour in forecast rows.
Also fix briefing pipeline to parse all weather location rows (not just first).

RSS is now off by default. When disabled:
- Scheduler skips RSS feed sync during compilation slot
- Briefing pipeline skips RSS item gathering
- RSS LLM tools (get_rss_items, add_rss_feed) are hidden
- API routes return empty results for feeds/news
- Frontend hides News nav link, RSS Feeds and News Preferences in settings
- Briefing view hides news sidebar section

Switch sidebar from fixed px to proportional 35% so it resizes with
the viewport. Remove border between chat and input bar and between
weather and news. Use container query units for weather/forecast icons
so they scale with column width.

Add location tabs when multiple weather sources configured. Weather
section stays pinned at top of sidebar while news scrolls independently.

Collapse briefing from 3-column to 2-column grid (chat + sidebar).
Weather moves to top of news column, forecast uses an HTML table so
rows align cleanly. Drop verbose condition text from forecast days
(emoji already conveys it). Switch CI node_modules cache to npm
download cache to avoid tar size error from onnxruntime-web.

Swaps useSilenceDetector for useVad. Adds no-speech guard: when the
user manually stops recording without VAD ever detecting speech, show
a toast and skip the Whisper round-trip instead of sending pure noise.

Provides speech-start/speech-end detection via @ricky0123/vad-web.
Retains amplitude-based visual feedback for mic pulse animation but no
longer uses it for stop decisions. Exposes stopAndCheck() which fires
onNoSpeech when the user manually stops without VAD ever detecting
speech — avoids wasted Whisper round-trips on noise-only recordings.

Empty-state rethink: replace "Start a conversation." with a richer
landing showing recent conversations (top 5 as resume links) and a
voice-mode entry button. Gated to full variant only; widget/briefing
keep the simple message.
Context sidebar: switch from grid column (4-col layout) to absolute
overlay on the right gutter (3-col layout). The reading column is now
always symmetrically centered regardless of whether the sidebar is
visible — eliminates the leftward shift that occurred when context
notes appeared.

Streaming bubble (Generating response…) was flush against the input
wrapper top border. Give the scroll column 0.75rem of breathing room
so the assistant bubble sits visibly separate from the input.

Context sidebar sections (Auto-included / Suggested / In Context) are
now collapsible with chevrons, and collapsed state persists per
conversation via localStorage. A new Context (N) button in the chat
header toggles the whole sidebar — open by default on wide screens
(>=1200px), closed by default below. Visual differentiation: auto-
included notes get a muted background with an AUTO pill, in-context
notes get an active-chip style with a primary-colored left border,
and each section header shows its item count.

Phase B of chat view refinement. Bumps chat reading column to 1200px,
lifts the RAG scope chip out of the footer and into the ChatView header
(next to the title), and collapses the listen toggle / volume slider /
stop-playback buttons into a single speaker popover on the input bar.
Listen mode + TTS are now available in briefing and workspace chats too,
since the controls live on the shared ChatInputBar.

Header:
- Remove Research button + modal (skill fires reliably from normal chat)
- Move Summarize-as-Note into a header kebab (disabled until the
conversation has messages)
Left sidebar:
- Full-width "+ New Chat" primary button
- Search input filters conversations by title (case-insensitive
substring) with a "no matches" empty state
- Move Select into a sidebar kebab next to search
Shared .btn-kebab + .kebab-menu styles give future conv-level actions
a home. Document mousedown + Escape dismiss both kebabs.

The inherited .chat-panel-fill class lands on ChatPanel's new .chat-full
root via attribute inheritance, and its display:flex was overriding the
grid layout — stacking messages, sidebar, and input bar vertically
inside the reading column instead of placing the sidebar in grid col 4.
Layout is ChatPanel's responsibility now; .chat-panel-fill only sizes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replaces the full-variant flex layout with a single CSS grid owning the
messages column, input bar, and context sidebar. Messages and input bar
share a centered ~820px reading track (--chat-reading-width token) so
the mic button can't get pushed off-screen on wide monitors, and the
context sidebar spans grid-row 1/-1 so it runs the full height from the
chat header down to the bottom edge instead of stopping above the input
bar.

The web silence detector previously ran RMS over getByteFrequencyData
bytes (which are already dB-scaled) and re-log'd the result, producing
numbers that didn't line up with real dBFS. Combined with a static
-40 dB threshold that sat right on top of room ambient, silence
detection rarely fired and the user had to click stop manually.
- Rewrite useSilenceDetector to use getFloatTimeDomainData for honest
linear RMS → dBFS.
- Silence threshold is now dynamic: track session peak dBFS and treat
"silent" as 15 dB below peak. Auto-calibrates per mic/room.
- Grace period (1500 ms) at start so the user can begin speaking
before checks arm; static -45 dB fallback until peak clears -25 dB
so dead-silent sessions don't spin forever.
- Silence duration bumped 1500 → 2000 ms for breathing room.
Visual: detached red radial-gradient disc sits behind the mic in a
wrapper; the button no longer scales, so the white mic icon stays
legible on top while the halo grows from 1x to ~2.6x with live
amplitude. Much more obvious "you are live" signal than the prior
subtle box-shadow pulse.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The mic button now scales and glows proportional to the silence
detector's RMS amplitude instead of sitting static. Gives obvious
feedback that audio is actually being picked up — silence still
breathes via a 0.1 floor, loud input caps at ~1.18x scale so it
doesn't punch through the input bar.

Both the /news discuss button and the briefing discuss button now call a
shared seed_article_discussion() helper that stages the synthetic
read_article tool exchange and the conversational seed prompt — behavior
stays byte-identical across entry points. /news also auto-starts
generation so the chat screen lands on an in-flight stream.
First assistant reply in a seeded article conversation is persisted as a
Note (tags: article-summary + article topics) and backlinked via
rss_items.discussion_note_id, so the knowledge base stops being amnesiac
about articles the user has engaged with.

The frontend hardcoded think=true on every chat send (ChatPanel full +
widget variants, KnowledgeView minichat), which defeated the _should_think
gate on the backend and made qwen3:14b spend 5-20s on chain-of-thought
reasoning for every turn — even "hi". This was the root cause of the
warm-path TTFT variance tracked in followup_ttft_variance.md: the logged
ttft_ms was really prefill + full thinking phase, bouncing with the depth
of the model's reasoning, not with cache or eviction.
All three frontend callers now pass think=false and let _should_think be
authoritative. The classifier is now a real content-based gate: explicit
think_requested=True still forces on as an override (briefing discuss
actions, future UI toggles, MCP callers), otherwise messages <80 chars
without reasoning keywords skip thinking, messages >=400 chars or
containing keywords like why/explain/analyze/debug/review/etc. get it.
Generation timing now separately records think_requested, the final
think decision, first_token_ms (first any chunk), and thinking_ms
(duration of the thinking phase). ttft_ms keeps its existing semantic
(first content token) so existing log analysis still works. The timing
log line surfaces all four fields so the old "just a big ttft number"
ambiguity is gone.

Merge create_task into create_note (set status='todo' for tasks, omit
for notes), merge delete_task into delete_note, consolidate entity
tools (create/update_person → save_person, create/update_place →
save_place), rename get_note → read_note with clearer descriptions,
move calculate out of rag.py into utility.py, and extract shared
duplicate detection into check_duplicate() helper.

ToolCallCard.vue, and WorkspaceView.vue.

The .btn-new-conv class has flex:1 for the sidebar row layout, but

context.

KnowledgeView and WorkspaceView were passing explicit titles
("Knowledge chat", "Project — Workspace") to createConversation(),
which prevented the backend's auto-title generation from firing
(condition: `not conv_title`). Pass no title so the background
title generator names conversations after their first message.

The type-badge template had no v-else-if for task, so tasks fell
through to the v-else which renders 'List'.

Task card was the outlier in the Knowledge view: half-width fade-to-
transparent gradient bar while note/list use full-width two-stop
gradients, and the type badge was purple while the border+bar were gold.
- k-card--task::before: full width with gold→amber gradient (#d4a017
→ #fbbf24) matching the two-stop pattern
- badge--task: switched from purple to amber so the badge matches
the card chrome
Three visual improvements for the briefing conversation:
1. Intermediate tool-call messages (empty content, briefing_intermediate:
true) now render as a compact dashed status row with per-tool pills
showing result counts, instead of an empty assistant bubble followed
by a stack of ToolCallCards. Click to expand the full cards.
2. Slot badge on non-intermediate briefing messages — "Full Briefing"
for compilation, "Morning/Midday/Afternoon Update" for slot
injections. Slot updates get a softer bubble treatment (transparent
background, muted border, smaller text) so the compilation stays
visually dominant.
3. Slot separator now triggers on briefing_slot metadata (not the
compilation-only rss_item_ids), and uses a look-behind so it only
fires when there's a prior slot message — no separator above the
first briefing of the day.
New component: BriefingToolStatusRow.vue handles the intermediate
pill row and delegates to ToolCallCard when expanded.

Replace the hand-edit-JSON instructions in Settings → API Keys with a
tabbed UI (Claude Code / Claude Desktop / Other). The Claude Code tab
leads with the `claude mcp add` command, pre-filled with FABLE_URL and
the most recently generated API key, plus copy-to-clipboard buttons on
every snippet. Recommend `uv tool install` or `pipx install` over bare
`pip install` so fable-mcp reliably lands on PATH under PEP 668.
Also fix incorrect priority values in fable-mcp tool docstrings — the
enum is `none|low|medium|high`, not `low|normal|high`.
DRY pass: extract shared `copyToClipboard()` helper used by both
`copyApiKey` and the new snippet buttons; reuse existing
`btn btn-secondary btn-sm` for the copy buttons instead of a bespoke
class.

The standalone current-conditions div showed just a bare temperature with no
forecast context, making the weather panel look incomplete. Now the live
