Follows the portal: the noun is "instance" everywhere the app says it —
UI strings, CLI output, error details, docs and comments. The wire keys
(`instance_id`, `instance_token`) and the hub route this calls move with it.
An existing cloud.json is adopted rather than refused: without the key
alias the dataclass fails to parse, which the caller swallows and reads as
"never enrolled" instead of "reconnect".
`instance_key` on a node type becomes `target_key`. It means the outside
thing a node points at, which is a different sense of the word, and keeping
both would put two meanings of "instance" in one codebase.
Four tabs over three cards was navigation for its own sake, and the two shells
disagreed about what a settings screen looks like. It is one grid of cards now,
matching the portal: the account card carries changing a password and deleting
the account in its footer, appearance is a card with one row, and remote access
— an operator's concern, not a personal preference — is a card of its own for a
superuser.
SettingRow, alert-dialog and UserAvatar come across from the portal, so an
account renders the same face in both shells.
A superuser-only tab that redeems a claim code and shows the link's state. It
names the account a remote session acts as, because that is the thing being
granted and the person granting it should see it spelled out.
The footer was a user card with the theme picker and log out buried in
its dropdown. It is now two plain entries, Settings and Log Out, and the
theme moved into the settings page as its own tab.
The dark sidebar never matched the canvas because _canvas.tsx painted
bg-card across the whole viewport underneath it, so the floating
panel's bg-card/80 resolved to card over card and its gutter was card
too. Nothing there should paint a surface; the panel now reads the same
as the other frosted chrome.
The superuser guard sliced the first three tabs, which silently changed
meaning when a fourth arrived.
The submodule collapse was only half applied: .gitmodules was deleted but
backend/ and frontend/ were still recorded as gitlinks, so none of their
files were tracked. Replace the gitlinks with the real trees.
Also untrack .env (it carried placeholder secrets) in favour of a tracked
.env.example, drop the committed __pycache__, and narrow the blanket *.png
ignore that would have swallowed design assets.
