The hub copies the reviewer string a client sends straight into
decided_by (DecideApproval, ClearEventLog); nothing on the wire ties
it to the authenticated caller. Studio filled it from the OS account,
so an export read like non-repudiation while being an arbitrary
client claim — the legal finding of the 2026-07-26 usertest panel.
The real fix is hub-side (derive decided_by from CALLER_IDENTITY);
that contract is written down in docs/reviewer-identity.md and needs
a hub release. Until then Studio does the one thing it can do
honestly and marks its own claim as a claim, inside the record:
- data/reviewer_identity.dart is the single place that produces and
reads the value; wire() is idempotent, so page and HubService may
both normalise. Every write path funnels through HubService, so no
surface can send a bare handle.
- The inbox states before the decision who will be recorded, what
that attribution is worth on this hub (from AuthStatus), and the
literal string that lands in decided_by. An unreadable auth policy
stays unreadable — never optimistic.
- Reading back: a marked value shows its plain name plus an
unchecked flag; an unmarked one (legacy row, CLI decision, or a
future hub-derived identity) is not classified either way.
- The audit wipe seeds the same kind of marked attribution into its
chain.reset marker.
When the hub starts deriving the value it overwrites the field and
the prefix disappears by itself — no Studio release needed.
Guards: reviewer_identity_test (the value) and
approvals_reviewer_identity_test (every surface that writes or
renders it, against the hermetic fake hub). Visual proof for both
themes via the dialog-shot harness.

Review follow-ups on the auth-status work:
- Both daemon-start paths classified an auth-rejected hub as "daemon
dead" via healthy() and showed a start-failure dialog while the
shell banner above correctly blamed the token. They now share
daemonAnswers(): only an unreachable probe counts as down.
- An auth-rejected poll now re-reads ~/.chain/hub-auth-token and
reconnects when the file changed, so a token fixed outside Studio
(CLI, editor) heals the connection without a restart — previously
the client kept the stale in-memory token forever and the banner's
own advice could not work.
- An endpoint switch resets the failure streak, so a stale in-flight
probe can no longer let the unreachable banner blame the new
endpoint for the old one's misses.
- The auth-policy panel re-queries when the hub token is saved or
cleared in the panel above (reloadTick), instead of keeping a
stale admin-denied hint; it also renders the hub's new
reload_required flag as a pending-reload warning (DE+EN).
- today-pipeline.md still documented ~/.fai/today after the rename;
the FAB theme comment now states the both-themes intent.

test/nav_manifest_test.dart derives docs/nav.generated.json from
the _pages list (order = Cmd numbers), the labelOf switch, and both
.arb files. On any nav change it regenerates the manifest and fails
once with instructions to commit + mirror it to
fai_chain/docs/studio/, where the platform repo's docs_consistency
gate checks the operator guide against it — cross-repo nav drift
becomes a red gate instead of quietly rotting docs.

The Studio design system, widgets and helpers carried a Fai* / fai_
prefix (FaiSpace, FaiColors, FaiTheme, FaiLog, 17 fai_*.dart files, the
faiBinary* l10n keys). Studio is the Ch∆In product, so rename them to
Chain* / chain_ — carefully preserving English fail/failure/failed.
Also fix stale references: the 'fai' binary in l10n strings -> 'chain',
FAI_* env vars (FAI_BIN/DATA_DIR/MODULES_DIR/TODAY/BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN) ->
CHAIN_*, fai_platform -> fai_chain, fai_hub -> chain_hub. Vendor
security-hook tooling (FAI_BANNED_TERMS_FILE) + the .fai bundle ext left.
flutter analyze + test: clean (20 passed).

Studio follows the platform rename: product branding F∆I -> Ch∆In in UI
strings, command examples fai -> chain, and — critically — the spawned
hub binary path ~/.fai/bin/fai -> ~/.fai/bin/chain so Studio launches
the renamed binary. The fai_* Dart identifiers (FaiLog, widget files,
the generated SDK) stay = vendor/internal namespace. flutter analyze:
no issues.

Moves the list of private organisation / pilot / codename
strings the security gate blocks OUT of the repo entirely.
Before: tools/security/check-staged.sh + the Today AI prompt
+ docs/today-pipeline.md held the strings in plaintext. The
whole point of the gate is to keep certain strings out of
committed artefacts, so holding them in a committed
artefact was self-defeating — anyone with read access to
the repo trivially recovered the very list we tried to
protect.
After:
- The gate reads a runtime file
`${FAI_BANNED_TERMS_FILE:-~/.fai-security/banned-terms.txt}`
at scan time. One regex per line, `#`-prefixed comments,
matched case-insensitively against staged diffs and
commit messages. Repos contain no copy.
- Pre-commit / commit-msg modes log a warning + skip the
confidential-terms scan if the file is missing (fresh
checkouts shouldn't trip until the operator bootstraps
the list).
- CI mode (`check-staged.sh ci`) FAILS when the file is
missing — runners are expected to be bootstrapped by
their deploy step.
- The unit-test harness uses a synthetic placeholder term
(`SYNTHETIC_BANNED_TERM_XYZZY`) injected via a temp
banned-terms file, so the test never references real
customer names.
- docs/today-pipeline.md + tools/today/prompt.template.md
point at the runtime file instead of enumerating terms.
Operator bootstrap (one-time, per machine):
mkdir -p ~/.fai-security && chmod 700 ~/.fai-security
printf '\\b%s\\b\\n' TERM_A TERM_B > ~/.fai-security/banned-terms.txt
chmod 600 ~/.fai-security/banned-terms.txt

Three concrete changes against operator feedback that the
Today carousel was visually jumping when arrowed and
genre-mixing platform-architecture education with store-
actionable highlights.
- Carousel size pinned. The hero's outer Container picks up
`BoxConstraints(minHeight: 240)` so a slide with one
paragraph and a slide with three render at the same
height. Prev/next no longer reflows the rest of the page.
- Today fallback stories trimmed and re-themed. The four
shipped slides drop to three:
- "Public sources" (DeepWiki / Semgrep one-click) — kept
- "Three text modules already in the store" — new,
points the operator at text.extract / text.summarize /
text.translate in the grid below
- "Try the extract → summarize flow" — new, points at
flows/extract-summarize.yaml
Architecture-education stories (sandbox model, hash-
chained audit, air-gap posture) are gone from this surface
— they belong on the Welcome page that
`docs/landing-page-design.md` lays out.
- DeepWiki + Semgrep added to the Settings → MCP-Clients
add-server suggestion-chip catalogue. Until now the chips
were nine stdio servers that need Node + npx; the two
HTTPS public sources only existed as one-click cards in
the Today hero. Operators who dismissed the hero had no
in-Settings path to find them. The new entries sit at the
top of the catalogue with an explicit "Public HTTPS — no
Node, no API key" descriptor and the same icons the Today
hero already uses.
- `docs/landing-page-design.md` (new). Captures the design
for a sidebar Welcome page that hosts the three-pillar
intro, the trust-posture deck, the getting-started
checklist, and an embedded-doc reader so operator-facing
documentation stays inside Studio (`flutter_markdown`
rendering of bundled `assets/docs/*.md`) instead of
clicking out to a browser. Three-phase implementation
plan: scaffolding, embedded docs, computed checklist.
Build is gated on operator alignment; this doc is the
alignment artefact.

Cross-store research (Apple, Play, Steam, Docker, VS Code,
Chrome Web Store, Flathub) consistently rewards editorial
curation over algorithmic recommendations — but manual
copywriting per release does not survive a solo-dev cadence.
This commit lands a daily-build pipeline so the Today-Hero
card stays fresh without operator hand-edits per release.
Pipeline shape (full design in docs/today-pipeline.md):
1. tools/today/collect.sh aggregates "what happened in the
last 24 hours" across the F∆I monorepos: git log per repo,
store-index seed.yaml diffs, architecture/system-gaps doc
changes, Studio release tags, and (opt-in) audit-log
highlights. Outputs plain text.
2. tools/today/propose.sh feeds the signal summary plus
prompt.template.md to the operator's already-configured
System-AI (Ollama default; OpenAI-compatible endpoints
work via env-var override). Drafts N candidate stories as
YAML files under ~/.fai/today/proposals/<date>/.
3. tools/today/accept.sh validates a chosen candidate against
the today/v1 schema and the no-marketing-speak banned-word
list, then atomic-renames it into ~/.fai/today/active.yaml.
4. Studio reads active.yaml at store-page init via the new
TodayStoryLoader (lib/data/today_story_loader.dart). On any
failure (file missing, schema mismatch, banned-words hit,
parse error) it falls back to the compiled-in
_kFallbackTodayStory so KRITIS deployments and fresh
installs always render something sensible.
Trust + audit:
- All proposed and accepted stories live as plain YAML on disk.
- The pipeline calls only the operator's already-configured
System-AI; it never reaches a CMS, never phones home, works
air-gapped if the System-AI does.
- The bash accept gate AND the Dart loader both enforce the
banned-word list — a hand-edited active.yaml that bypassed
the shell still won't reach the UI.
- Removing the cron entry disables the pipeline; Studio falls
back to the const story and continues to work.
