Three things the security pass on the portal pairing turned up. The first two
were already true of a screen on the local network; what changed is that a
panel credential is now presentable from the internet, which is what makes
them worth closing rather than recording.
The artifact endpoint authenticates for itself, because a worker's credential
has to open it and that token is no use anywhere else. It resolved the caller
without handing over the request, so the one credential that is scoped by
route was judged by no route at all — a panel could read and write the store
as whoever approved it. It passes the request it already holds now.
The websocket has no route to judge either, and there the bound has to be on
what is sent: a panel is given the values its own dashboards draw and nothing
else — no node status, no logs, no shape of the graph. The keys stay in the
message, emptied, because a screen on a wall runs the bundle it was paired
with. `messages_for` reads that set off the published dashboards, and is the
walk the `/messages/` allowlist has wanted for a while.
And locality is no longer a header anyone can type. The marker the connector
stamps is a value minted per process, so reaching this API directly cannot buy
a device the credential meant for one that cannot reach it at all.

A screen somewhere this installation is not reachable from asks the portal for
a code instead, and the portal mints its credential — because a token signed
here is one such a device could never present.
Where it was minted changes nothing about what it may do. The panel gate moved
off the branch that decodes a local panel token and onto whatever claims name
a panel, so the portal's and this installation's are bounded by the same check
against the same panel's dashboards. A token of that scope naming no panel is
refused rather than left holding the account it borrows.
The connector marks what arrives on its socket, since that is the only thing
that makes it true, and the approval screen now names what is holding a code —
approving adopts whatever answers, so it is worth a look first.

Both links out of the dashboard editor were built root-relative, so a portal
serving the app under `/i/{id}` got a URL to itself: the hub has no route
there and answers a bare 404. That is what a device link and "open what a
wall panel sees" both landed on.
They want different answers. The view link is for the person already looking,
so it takes the router's basepath — `appPath` in `lib/portal` is the same
prefix the router applies to every `Link`, for the places that step outside
it. The device link is for a screen, which cannot go through the portal at
all: the shell is served only to a portal session, and the credential that
page carries is the portal's rather than the panel's. So the server now says
where it answers, and `FRONTEND_HOST` is that answer — the same setting the
password-reset links already use.
Also fixes the panel branch in the query error handler, which compared a raw
pathname and so never fired under a portal.

A panel is one screen and the ordered set of whole dashboards it shows, so a
hallway tablet and a workshop tablet carry different sets without either
dashboard knowing about the other. More than one and the device draws a rail
to switch between them — the same rail the editor puts on screen, because the
wall has it and it takes room off the canvas.
A screen has no keyboard, so it pairs rather than logs in: it shows a
six-character code, somebody approves it against a panel from the dashboards
overview, and the credential that mints reaches that panel's published
dashboards and the message endpoints its widgets speak, and nothing else.
Deleting the panel revokes it.
Closes the per-device view and the kiosk credential; supersedes the
multi-page/multi-section UI, since a page is now a dashboard of its own.
