Mail declares an agent (read-only profile, ask_user_question) and the
`glance` capability, and ships `tools.json` with one tool, `mail.notify`
{title, body, card_id?, priority?}. It runs on the mail host service,
which fills a fixed L0 notice card (resources/notice.card) from the
call and publishes it through the shell's glance service as the calling
app, with a notification; the model never writes card code. The shell
installs the publisher at startup and passes the app's `glance` grant
from its admitted manifest (script_apps::grants), since a tool call runs
outside the app's isolate.
Verified on a scratch home (deepseek-v4-flash, demo mailbox, developer
mode, OCTOSENSE_CONTAINED_APPS=1): the system chat's peer_send_input
started os.mail's turn, Mail's agent called mail.notify, and the card
and toast "Mail · Hello" appeared.
Mail's read tools (accounts, list, message) are left out: octos takes a
tool only with an object output schema, and mail.accounts answers an
array.

…e moves and sizes A toast is drawn over the card window, the glance panel, the chat panes and the windows, but the panes took the pointer first: a click on a toast over the system chat pressed the pane's button beneath it (New conversation) and never opened the card. A press on a toast now goes to the toast alone, after the modal sheets and menus only. On a desktop the system chat and "Ask <app>" panes can be placed: the header moves the pane, an edge or a corner sizes it (with resize cursors), never below 320 x 240 or off screen; a double-click on the header puts it back in its column. The pane also keeps to the window: its surface starts under the bar yet is the window's height, so its bottom edge and padding hung past the window. Verified in a hidden --remote run with the fake Mail toasts: a click on the UPS toast where it covers New conversation opened the UPS card; the header, right and bottom edges moved and sized the pane; a double-click reset it.

…links The pane's `#[redraw]` field was `draw_bg`, which it never draws, so every repaint it asked for (a drag, a scroll, a hover) repainted nothing: the pane moved only when something else redrew the window. Its own area is now the redraw target. A 30-step header drag on a visible window: about 2 ms from each move to its frame. The prompt's caret blinks (half a second, as makepad's TextInput) while typed text lands in it: its prompt holds the key focus, or nothing does and the shell hands typed text to it (F8). Typing keeps it on; an empty prompt shows it before the placeholder. `ShellDraw::text_field_caret` draws the field with the caret on request; `text_field` is unchanged. The pane also stays above the developer-mode banner, which covered the bottom of the prompt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…s several lines and follows the theme Replies are Markdown (system_chat/markdown.rs): headings, bold, inline code on a tint, links in the accent, bulleted and numbered lists with hanging indents, quotes with a bar, rules, fenced code and table rows on a tint with their spacing kept. What the person typed is shown as typed. Wrapping (shell/ui.rs `wrap_styled`, used by `ShellDraw::wrap` for every surface) breaks between CJK characters, never before closing punctuation, and inside a word longer than a line (a URL); before, a Chinese sentence was one word, put on one line and cut with an ellipsis. Styled runs wrap together. The prompt takes up to eight lines and then shows its last ones (the caret's); Shift+Return breaks a line, a paste keeps its breaks, Return and an input method's Enter still send. On a desktop the prompt takes the keyboard when the pane opens (F8, the menu), so the macOS input method composes Chinese in it at once with its candidates at the caret: makepad hands keys to the input method only while a text field holds the focus. The chat panes now take the shell's material and palette like its other surfaces, so they are light in the light theme and dark in the dark one. The laid-out transcript is cached until the conversation, the width or the font changes. Checked in a hidden --remote run with deepseek-v4-flash: a two-line Chinese and English prompt wrapped in the prompt; the reply's heading, bold, code, nested list, numbered list, quote, rule, code block and table drew in the light theme. Chinese marked bold draws at the regular weight (the fallback CJK font has no bold face). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…lays out the transcript The prompt wrapped the draft like a reply: spaces were only break points, so a typed space showed (and moved the caret) only with the next character, and a run of spaces showed as one. It now wraps with `wrap_exact`, which keeps every character: a space at a line's end hangs past it, blank lines stay, and the lines put back together are the text. The caret is measured at the drawn size. The transcript's cache was keyed on the chat's generation, which typing bumps, so every keystroke laid the whole transcript out again; it is now keyed on the items, the running turn, the width and the font.

On a desktop the system chat opens at the left, the column's width and 60% of the screen's height (at most 640), centred top to bottom, instead of a full-height column at the right; "Ask <app>" stands right of it when both are open. A double-click on the header puts the pane back there. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ards light it The glance panel had only F9. The bar now carries a bell among its status icons: the cards on the glance screen counted on a badge, lit in the accent while cards have arrived since the panel was last open (cards published after `glance_seen_ms`); clicking it toggles the panel, which then wears the open-panel pill. The menu lists "At a glance" right after Apps. A published, replaced or withdrawn card refreshes the bar. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…s' does The shell's drawing kit named JetBrains Mono for every label (the bar, menus, toasts, panels, the card window's title, the chat panes), while apps take the theme's font roles (makepad's font policy: IBM Plex Sans, LXGW WenKai for CJK, Noto Color Emoji, unless a style names its own) and glance cards the backend's Roboto. The kit now draws with the theme's regular and bold roles, and its code role for code (`with_code`: code blocks and inline code in the chat panes); Chinese gets the theme's CJK faces, bold included. A glance card's text follows the theme too: the backend names Roboto (its reference renderer's face) for text in no font of its own, and the shell rewrites those styles to the theme's bold role at weight 500 and up and its regular one below (`glance_card::theme_fonts`); a mood with its own font (atro's Montserrat) keeps it. New glance cards light the bar's bell in the palette's accent, not the bar's alert colour. Checked in hidden --remote runs with the demo Mail cards: bar, toasts, card window, glance panel and chat pane in the theme's fonts, Chinese in LXGW WenKai. Found, not changed here: in the glance panel (not the card window) the shipping card's tiles draw light with white text and the request card's chips lose their labels, with or without this change.

…e and scrolls A card an agent published reached only a toast: the glance panel stayed closed, and when open it drew cards through the general translation, which re-lowers chips the Material way and drops their labels, and drew the shipping card's tiles light under white text. Now: - a new card opens the glance panel on a desktop (not over an open card window), showing the newest card first; a card the open panel shows posts no toast over it; - `glance_card::lower` uses Octoscript-Makepad's L0 translation, as the card window does: tiles in the kit's colours, chips with their labels; - a tile may be 440 pt tall (was 260), room for a whole action card with its buttons; - the wheel over the panel moves a card at a time, with "N more above / below" at its foot; - the panel's `#[redraw]` field was `draw_bg`, which it never draws; its area is the redraw target now; a press outside it that closes it is logged. Checked in a hidden --remote run with the demo Mail cards: the panel opened by itself on the UPS card (tiles, Track, Mark done) with "1 more above", and the wheel brought the request card (Reply, Mark done, Ask).

…election, copy and paste The prompt's caret was pinned to the end. The composer now keeps a caret and a selection: arrows move it (Option by words, Command to the line's and, with Up/Down, the text's ends), Home and End, Shift selects, Command+A selects all; Up and Down go by the drawn lines, keeping the caret's x. A click places the caret, Shift+click or a drag selects, a double-click takes a word. Typing, a paste and an input method's composition go in at the caret over the selection; Backspace and Delete take the selection or the character beside the caret; Command+C and Command+X copy and cut the selection (the shell answers TextCopy and TextCut for the pane typing goes to). The selection is drawn behind the text, the caret where it is, and the lines shown follow the caret. Checked in a hidden --remote run: Option+arrows and Shift selected "hello card", a double-click took "Mail" and Backspace removed it, a drag selected across words. Copy and cut go through the platform's menu keys, which a remote run cannot send: covered by the composer's tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ts event and agenda cards on the glance screen Calendar (`os.calendar`, desktop) joins Mail as a system app with an agent: its manifest declares the agent (read-only profile, ask_user_question) and `glance`, and `tools.json` gives it `calendar.events`, `calendar.add_event`, `calendar.remove_event` (destructive: the person approves), `calendar.notify` (an event card) and `calendar.agenda` (the next three events). Its peer has octos's per-app memory like Mail's. The tools run on a new host service, `octosense-calendar-service` (apps/calendar/host-service): events in the host's own directory (`<host_dir>/calendar/events.json`), local times, and fixed L0 cards (`event.card`: day and time tiles, place, notes; `agenda.card`) filled from the events and published through the glance service as Calendar, so the model never writes card code. Only Calendar may call it. App Hub's closed capability list names no `calendar`, so the shell's executor now runs a system app's own namespace on its own service (`os.calendar` → `calendar`) without a grant; any other family still needs one. Calendar's window says how to reach the agent: listing the events there waits for App Hub's `calendar` capability. It takes the `calendar` id, so Makepad's example Calendar leaves the catalog, as its Mail and Photos did. The approval sheets and the Approvals page now take the shell's theme and material too: lifted with the chat panes, they stay over them (the first-use sheet had drawn under the Assistant pane). Checked in a hidden --remote run with deepseek-v4-flash: the system agent asked for Calendar's agent, the first-use sheet showed over the pane, Allow, then Calendar's agent added "Dentist" (2026-10-02 15:00-16:00, Main St) and published its event card, which opened the glance panel.

Stacked on #263 (
feat/l0-chat-host), which is stacked on #261. Like #263, this builds only with.sourcesat OctoSense-org/OctoScript#53 (3ca709c) and OctoSense-org/OctoScript-Makepad#68 (51c4c51); GitHub CI on the pinned runtime fails until those merge and the pins move.What it does
App agents publish cards to the glance screen
mail.notify. The mail host service fills a fixed L0 notice card and publishes it as Mail.

They run on a new host service,apps/calendar/host-service. It takes thecalendarid, so Makepad's example Calendar leaves the catalog.calendarcapability, so a system app's own namespace (os.calendar→calendar) runs on its own host service without a grant.
