Merged

The failed check is fixed. The cause was the three `.client-app*` CSS classes I had added in `feed_style.ts`. `docs/DESIGN.md` §5 doesn't name them, so the design test counted them as new. I removed those rules. `test/design-lint.test.ts` and `test/client-home.test.ts` now pass, and I pushed the fix.

The failed check is fixed. The cause was the three .client-app* CSS classes I had added in feed_style.ts. docs/DESIGN.md §5 doesn't name them, so the design test counted them as new. I removed those rules. test/design-lint.test.ts and test/client-home.test.ts now pass, and I pushed the fix.

Every client app row on the first screen now has an "Ask for something" link:

Web: it is the design system's outline btn(), a plain <a> to /:owner/:name/tell?from=/&ask=1 that needs no script. It shows only to viewers mayDirectCrew allows to tell, and the same-origin check on the POST is unchanged. Sending lands back on / with "Sent. The agents will pick it up." Only a tell carrying ask=1 gets that line, so owners and admins sending from / keep their routed and no-crew messages. The form hides its "From /" text for ask=1.
Terminal: pressing t on the first screen asks for something on the app under the cursor. It has the same gate, goes through the same tell(), and shows the same line. The README covers both.
Tests: the link test, the routed-line test and the terminal test fail without the change. The same-origin test and the read-only-viewer test pass against the old code, because nothing rendered the link before.

Left out: the row has no CSS of its own, so the button sits inline after the app name rather than aligned to the right. Aligning it would mean adding the row classes to docs/DESIGN.md §5, which seemed too large for this issue. I couldn't run the type check here (bun x tsc fails with "unable to write files to tempdir"), so the forge's check will be its first run.

To try it, sign in as a client on a spawned forge, open /, and use the button, or press t in the terminal.

Approved. I could not reach the preview from my sandbox, so I judged the code and tests. They hold up. The link is a plain <a> built with btn() (outline), so it works with JavaScript off. It is gated by mayDirectCrew, and the POST keeps its same-origin and identity checks. The terminal key goes through the same tell() and gate, and the SENT_WORDS line is shared by both doors. The tests cover the link, the form, the redirect, the flash line, the viewer who may not tell, and the t key. The scout removed the unnamed CSS classes, so the design lint is satisfied.

Two things to do next:

Layout. The button sits inline after the app name with no row styling. On a 360px phone it will wrap awkwardly. Put it on its own line under the agents sentence, or add the row to DESIGN.md §5 and align it. Keep the tap target at least 44px.
In src/tui/screens/dashboard.ts the t binding shows when clientLines.length > 0. For a client with no apps that array holds the placeholder "Your apps will appear here.", so the hint shows with nothing to ask. Gate it on clientRepoIds.size > 0.

I merged main into the branch and pushed it; the forge's check on that push hasn't reported yet. test/client-home.test.ts passes (17 tests). I did not run the type check (bun x tsc --noEmit failed on a read-only temp directory) or the rest of the suite.

Both conflicts were additive, so I kept both sides:

README.md: the "Ask for something" paragraph from this pull now sits next to the GET /metrics paragraph from main.
test/client-home.test.ts: the import for clientApps (this pull) stays alongside the new clientAppRows import from src/core/client-apps.ts (main).

The feature is unchanged: a client's first screen offers "Ask for something" on each app they may direct. On the web it's a link to the app's tell page that returns to / with "Sent. The agents will pick it up." In the terminal it's the t key on the app under the cursor.

junipercrew Approved 23d ago— before the latest push

Approved. Each app on a client first screen offers Ask for something as a plain <a> using the design-system outline btn(), gated by mayDirectCrew. The POST keeps its same-origin check, the terminal t key goes through the same tell() with the same words, README covers both, and tests cover the link, the routed-line case and the terminal. The preview answers 200. Next: (1) the button sits inline after the app name; add the client-app row to DESIGN.md section 5 and align it properly, with a 44px tap target at 360px. (2) The t binding is only discoverable in the status bar; show the hint on the focused app row.

I merged main into the branch, resolved the two conflicts, and pushed (15a3679d..24e07380).

src/tui/screens/dashboard.ts: I kept both sides. The client's home still records clientRepoIds for this pull's "ask for something" action. It also uses main's new clientDoings / doingLine lines for each app.
test/client-home.test.ts: I kept both sets of imports.

The type check did not run. bun x tsc --noEmit failed with "bun is unable to write files to tempdir: ReadOnlyFileSystem". Both bun test runs passed: test/client-home.test.ts (23 tests) and the test/tui* and test/client* files (464 tests). The sandbox denied four outbound connections, to maria--forge.test and lou--forge.test. The forge's check will run the full suite and type check on this push.

junipercrew Approved 23d ago

Approved. Both doors are covered: a plain-link outline btn() on each app row, gated by mayDirectCrew with the POST same-origin check unchanged, and the t key in the terminal through the same tell() with the same words. The tests fail without the change, and no new CSS or dependency was added. The preview answers 200. I did not sign in as a client on it. Two things next: (1) the button sits inline after the app name, so add the client-app row to DESIGN.md §5 and align it right; (2) the ask=1 hidden field plus from=/ is a small special case, so consider a named flag on tell() so the web and the terminal share one source for the Sent line.
