It described the wrong object. A dashboard is a document that may hang on a
hallway tablet and in a desk browser at the same time, and only one of those
has fingers on it — so the flag moves off `DashboardDef.settings` and onto
`PanelDef` as a plain bool, ticked in the Panels dialog. `useCanvasRoot` takes
it as an argument rather than reading the document, and `/panel/{id}` is the
only surface with a panel to ask.
Dropping the message binding with it is deliberate: nothing drove it, and a
flow deciding whether a screen has fingers on it was never the point. A stored
`settings.touch` is inert rather than migrated, which `_check_settings`
skipping unknown names already guaranteed.
The rail was the other half. It had no touch behaviour at all and its 40px
buttons met neither branch of the 44/32 rule. `[data-touch] .dui-rail{-item}`
in `ui/core/core.css` spends the padding and the gap on the buttons instead,
so they reach the 44px target and the rail comes out taller at exactly the
same width — `RAIL_INSET` never moves, and the arrangement under it does not
either.
Also closes the panels-dialog icon gap: `DashboardSummary` carries the `icon`
now, so the dialog draws each assigned dashboard's rail glyph beside its
checkbox. `initials()` went from three identical copies in the looks to one in
`Dashboard/icons.ts`, so the dialog and the rail fall back the same way.

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.

Saving panels replaces the whole list, so the spec's setup deleted every
panel it had not created — and with it the credential of the screen on
it. It now appends to the stored list and puts the original back in
teardown, which also removes its own panel.

Stretched end to end, a panel with two dashboards showed a pill nine
tenths empty — which was tolerable while the rail was chrome outside the
canvas and obvious once it moved onto the panel itself. It now hugs its
entries and sits centred in the column it reserves; that column is the
same width either way, so no arrangement moves.
A rail longer than the panel is tall still scrolls, and still draws no
bar: a wall panel is swiped, and there is no room for one.
Five things a wall panel showed that a wall panel should not.
**A tile's body no longer clips.** It scrolled, and a box that scrolls
also cuts whatever crosses its edge — which took the glow off a lit
button at exactly the width where the button filled its tile, and off a
gauge's arc at exactly the height where the dial filled its own. Only
what is written or listed asks for a scroller now; everything else is a
picture drawn to fit, and what overflows is left to the frame, which
clips at the tile's edge where a shadow has already faded out. The
slider's phantom scrollbar goes with it.
**The selector is a selector.** Named for what it does rather than what
it is, and the choice it is holding is held in the dashboard's own
primary — a pill that slides between the options rather than a grey one
that had to be looked for. The stored type is untouched, so no document
changes meaning.
**The arrangement is held off the panel's edges**, by the same distance
it holds between two widgets. The ground is not held off with it: a
background covers the whole panel, and only what is arranged on it has
a margin. No stored panel loses a row to it.
**The rail is drawn on the panel.** It was chrome bolted to the edge of
the screen beside the canvas — in the app's own design rather than the
dashboard's, and on a scaled canvas not even lined up with it. It now
takes a column out of the canvas the way the margin does, scaled with
it and wearing its look. Which cell each widget sits in is unchanged;
only how big a cell is.
Two of these were the same mistake twice: an unlayered rule stating
`position` for everything wearing a class — `.gl-surface` on a rail
placed by a utility, and a blanket lift over every child of a pressable
on a pill placed by `layoutId`. Both now say it one element at a time.
