A flat list buries 'where was I in General Chat' under whatever the tabs have been doing, since the busiest profile takes the top regardless of which card you are looking at.
.vv-ai-chat transitions its height, so measuring the dock straight after setting
it returns the height it is animating away from — the view was cut short for a
dock that had already shrunk, leaving the difference as dead panel underneath.
Search is the one capability that fits the profile holding none: every other capability either
reads this installation or changes it, and chat's whole contract is that it can do neither. The
assistant deliberately does not get it — its contract is that answers come from this install's
own documents, and a web result there is an answer that looks sourced and is not. A chat question
about this machine hands off to the assistant before the search would run, so it never reaches
the internet even with the box ticked.
Off by default, and not because it is dangerous: searching sends the operator's question outside
the house, which is theirs to decide. Asked for per turn as well as enabled in conf.
Provider-agnostic, as asked — searxng, brave, tavily. Only whichever is configured here can be
verified; all three read every field by name, so a shape that changes underneath yields no
results rather than wrong ones.
The explain fixtures asserted chat holds no capabilities at all, which is exactly the guarantee
worth keeping. caps=only: now states the set rather than its emptiness, so the check still fails
the day something else is granted there.
The transcript animates, so a page measuring it one frame later sized itself from a box caught
mid-collapse and left a dead strip the height the chat was shrinking from.
The toggle joins the other window controls in the banner, and opening the list now costs the
conversation its rows rather than costing the page more height.
The Scheduler sizes the views above the panel from what the chat leaves, so a chat that resizes
silently grew off the bottom and took its own composer with it.
It kept its own bar, send loop and poll, which is why a thread there died on reload while the
other two were saved and why its controls had drifted from the same controls everywhere else.
Offers, a settable subject, runtime heights and a profile hook — everything the dock does that
the shared component could not, so it can stop being a second implementation.
The picker sat above the transcript and the buttons below it, so the same component read
differently on each surface; size is the only thing a placement should get to choose.
