feat(web): server-load readout redesign — 7 switchable style candidates#39
Merged
Conversation
…d variants Scaffolding for the server-load readout redesign: a sidebarHostStatsStyle client setting, a Server load style picker in Settings -> Features, a variant registry under components/host-stats/ (classic extracted from Sidebar.tsx + 7 placeholder variants to be filled in by design agents), and useHostStatsWithHistory providing a rolling 2-minute sample window for sparkline/trend styles. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each variant was written by a different model against the same brief (bigger, colorful, load-ramped via success/warning/destructive tokens): - signature fable-5 dot-on-track precision faders + peak ticks - bars opus-4.8 stacked color-ramped meter bars - sparkline sonnet-5 CPU history sparkline + hero figure - segments gpt-5.6-sol 10-cell LED meters with peak afterglow - rings glm-5.2 dual donut gauges - equalizer kimi-k2.7-code 24-bar CPU history equalizer - badge gemini-3.1-pro tinted status pill with pulsing dot Also fixes the pre-existing DesktopClientSettings round-trip test broken by #34 (fixture was missing fileExplorerShowDotfiles). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Visiting Settings unmounts the sidebar; without this the sparkline/ equalizer history restarted from one sample every time you came back. Cache the rolling window at module scope; explicit disable still clears. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Live captures from an isolated instance under generated load waves, 8 styles x 2 themes, plus the labeled comparison sheet used in the PR. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ff candidates (#41) * feat(web): promote segments to default host-stats style, cull the rest The gpt-5.6-sol "segments" LED-meter design won the PR #39 bake-off. - DEFAULT_SIDEBAR_HOST_STATS_STYLE -> "segments" - Remove the six losing variant components; picker now offers only Segments and Classic (plain text) - Retired style ids stay decodable in the settings schema and render as segments, so devices that stored a bake-off value keep their settings instead of failing the whole-settings decode back to defaults - Drop docs/host-stats-variants (2.7MB of comparison screenshots); the merged PR #39 body now pins its images to the merge commit SHA Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(web): taller sidebar footer with full-height server-load readout Feedback on the segments default: the footer row was project-row height with the readout floating small and low. - Footer row is now h-18 on desktop — 1.5x the 48px project rows - Settings button squished to its content width and stretched to the full row height - The readout card fills the remaining width and the full height, so its top edge aligns with the row; bigger cells (h-2.5) and 13px values at the larger size - Mobile keeps the original compact row Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Redesign candidates for the sidebar server-load readout (the
CPU 12% MEM 3.2/15.6Gline next to Settings). The old one was tiny and colorless; this PR turns the readout into a pluggable style and ships 7 redesigns plus the original, switchable live from Settings → Features → Sidebar → Server load style (per device, default staysclassic).Each candidate was designed by a different model against the same brief (bigger, color required, load-ramped via the app's
success/warning/destructivetokens, ≤ ~150×28px, both themes):signaturebarssparklinesegmentsringsequalizerbadgeComparison

Everything ships behind the picker, so this can merge as-is and the favorite can be promoted to default (and the rest culled) in a follow-up once you've lived with them. The screenshots under
docs/host-stats-variants/can be deleted at that point too.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
