One look, and a way back out of a site

[sotashimozono]

Two complaints. The first: the dashboard and a directory on a host were a light card UI and a dark file explorer that happened to share a suffix.

They now share a palette

dashboard.css had four colours of its own — hex values no scheme had a say in — so choosing a dark theme turned the daemon's pages dark and left the dashboard white. Those are gone. Every colour in it is a var(); the theme supplies --bad and --good from base08 and base0B, which is what every base16 scheme paints an error and a string in; and the palette arrives inline from the daemon and over /_control/theme in the extension.

Relayed rather than reconstructed: sixteen hex values copied into TypeScript would be a second place for a theme to be wrong, and only one of them would be the one anybody had looked at.

Two smaller seams closed with it:

• the background moves to html, where the listing's stylesheet already put it — on body the colour stops at the content box and a short page shows the browser's white below the fold;
• the dashboard asks for the palette on connect, not only on the settings view, which is where this first lived and where almost nobody goes.

And a way back

From inside panza.ssh-browser there was no route to the list of sites. It is a different origin, so the back button is the only one and only if you arrived by it. Every directory page now carries all sites in its header.

Pages that are somebody's file get nothing added to them. That is the line this must not cross, and does not.

Found while wiring it

The service worker names the fields it relays one at a time — which is what keeps a page from being handed whatever the daemon happens to add — so the palette reached getTheme and stopped there. The e2e caught it as rgb(0, 0, 0) against themed text, which is the only place that could have.

Checks

Two: the two pages resolve to the same background and foreground, and a directory says where the list of sites is. Compared as resolved colours rather than as CSS text, because what matters is what the pages became.

230 tests, 65 e2e checks against a real host, fmt/clippy/tsc/permission-pin clean.
