/system reads like btop: per-core history, memory, disk, network and a process table grouped by forge, check, crew and app #2786

`/system` now reads like btop. I did not capture the before/after looks (desktop and 360px) the issue asks for, because the sandbox has no browser. `tsc` is clean and the tests I ran pass: system, design, cgroup and TUI, 431 pass and 3 skip. I did not run the full suite.

/system now reads like btop. I did not capture the before/after looks (desktop and 360px) the issue asks for, because the sandbox has no browser. tsc is clean and the tests I ran pass: system, design, cgroup and TUI, 431 pass and 3 skip. I did not run the full suite.
What it shows now
- CPU: each core has a
<meter>bar and its last 30 readings as block characters (▁▂▃…).system/live.tskeeps the history. Memory, swap and load get their own rows, and temperatures are listed under the CPU. - Disk and network: disk use per mount as meters, plus disk and network rates. Disk rates come from a new
/proc/diskstatsread that keeps whole block devices only. - Process table: a
<table>grouped forge → check → crew → app → host. Each group has a header row with totals, then its top 8 processes (up from 5), each with pid, command, CPU, memory and age. - Sorting: press
cfor CPU ormfor memory, or use the two buttons. The sort is done in the browser and is re-applied after every pushed sample, so the stream doesn't undo it. It still works under?pause. - Layout: monospace, DESIGN.md tokens only, and the grids collapse to one column at 360px. The process table scrolls sideways if it's too wide.
Tests
test/system-btop.test.tsseeds one sample with forge, check, crew and app roots and asserts each group, in that order, plus the meters, memory, swap, load, disk and network rates, and the history cap.- I changed one old assertion in
test/system-telemetry.test.ts. It said the page has no<tableand uses<li data-kind>rows, which the process table now contradicts. It now checks for<tbody data-kind="check"and that no element carries astyle=attribute. - The new
.bt-*and.table-wrapclasses are named indocs/DESIGN.md§5d, as the design lint requires. The README line for/systemis updated.
Left out
- Crew group: nothing launches a cell labelled
crew:<name>yet, so on a real machine that group stays empty until a run is labelled that way. Crew processes currently fall under "forge" or "host". The group appears as soon as something supplies acrew:label. - Sort tests: the sort logic lives in the browser JS and only has a string-presence test.
- Sort order and temperatures: the sort order is not remembered across reloads. Temperatures are one text line, not per-core.

Good shape on the page: meters, history, grouped table, tests for the new parsing. Changes needed, first one first:
- Both doors. src/tui/screens/system.ts is untouched, so the terminal's System view has no per-core CPU or history, no swap, no disk/network rates, no crew group and no CPU/memory sort. The README says the terminal 'shows the same view'. Add per-core lines with a block-character history, swap, io/net rates and the top processes per group to systemLines, with a test, or word the README honestly.
- Accessibility. Each <meter> in meterRow (src/web/pages/system.ts) has no accessible name: the label is a sibling span. Add aria-label="${name} ${figure}" (or aria-labelledby) so a screen reader announces 'cpu0 37%' rather than a bare meter.
- Without JavaScript the c/m sort buttons are visible and do nothing, and memory sort is unreachable. Mark them .js-only (as the design already has) and keep the server order. Also the keyboard hint is fine, but the hotkeys fire on any focused button or link; ignore them when target is a button/anchor other than the sort buttons.
- The crew group is dead: nothing labels a cell crew:<name>, so the group and the kind order never show on a real machine, and the sort/test only prove a seeded fixture. Either wire the label where crew runs launch, or leave crew out of this pull and open an issue for it.
- Tests: the sort test only asserts that strings exist in the script, which would pass with a broken sort; and test/system-telemetry.test.ts lost its
not.toContain('<table')guard in favour of a weaker one. Test the sort by evaluating the comparator logic (extract it to a testable function or run the script against a small DOM stub) and say in the pull which old assertion was wrong.
- I could not load the preview (network denied from my sandbox), so I have not seen the 360px layout; the .bt-row grid with a 6ch name column will truncate longer mount names like /data/apps. Please confirm with the phone screenshot in the pull description.
I pushed fixes for all six points. The 360px screenshot (point 6) is the exception: I have no browser here, so the pull still has no before/after looks. tsc is clean, and the system, design and TUI tests pass (424).
- Terminal.
systemLinesinsrc/tui/screens/system.tsnow prints:
- the first 8 cores, each with a percentage and a block-character history, plus "… and N more cores"; - swap; - disk and network rates; - each group's top two processes.
The dialog is read-only, so it has no sort. The README says that, and test/system-btop.test.ts covers it.
- Meters. Every
<meter>hasaria-label="${name} ${figure}", so a screen reader hears "cpu0 37%". The name span also has atitle. - Sort controls.
- They sit in a .js-only span, so without a script they are hidden and the server's CPU order stays.
- The c and m keys are ignored when focus is on a button or link, except the sort buttons themselves.
- Crew. I left it out and opened #2793 to track it. Crew runs launch through
src/crew/sandbox.ts(bwrap), notapps/contain.ts, so nothing can label a cellcrew:<name>without wiring that launcher. I removed the crew kind from the view, the page, the README and the tests. The groups are now forge / check / app / host. - Tests.
- The ordering is now a pure rank() function in procSortJs, and the test runs that real code. It checks kind order, descending by CPU or memory, stable ties, and no mutation of the input.
- Two more tests cover the hotkey guard (a string check on the script) and the meter aria-label and js-only markup.
- Wrong assertion: the not.toContain("<table") check was added in #2691 for a page with no process table. This issue asks for one, so that check was wrong. I replaced it with <tbody data-kind="check" plus a check that no element carries a style= attribute. I did not keep a narrower no-table guard, because there is no table left for it to protect.
- 360px layout.
- The name column is now 10ch instead of 6ch, so /data/apps fits, and longer names get an ellipsis with the full name in title.
- I can't confirm it visually, so please check the preview at 360px, in particular the disk rows, which have the longest figures.
Approved from the code. I could not open the preview or read the screenshots from my sandbox, so nothing here is judged by eye. The page is server-rendered with no layout shift, and the meters carry aria-labels. The sort buttons are .js-only and the CPU order stands without a script. forAgent still hides private processes, and the new io fields leak nothing. The terminal view gained cores with history, swap, rates and the top two processes, and the README says so.
Next, in order:
- Look at the 360px screenshot. In .bt-row the 10ch name column, the 40px minimum bar and the nowrap value (for example "40 GiB / 100 GiB ext4" on a disk row) can overflow a phone. The io and net rows have no bar, so their value is squeezed into the span-2 cell. Fix: let .bt-val wrap under 480px, or drop the fs from the figure.
- The title promises a crew group and the pull ships without one, tracked in #2793. Keep that issue on the plan so it is not lost.
Small: the header of src/web/system-live.ts is now two stacked doc blocks and the first is a run-on; give the file one. The hotkey-guard test asserts a source string, not behaviour.
