Nothing in the UI said which build was loaded. /api/version has reported
version, build and source_commit since the harness started versioning itself
apart from the public semver, but the only way to read it was to curl the
endpoint — so "is the preview actually running the commit I just merged?" took
a terminal to answer.
Pins a footer under the settings sidebar nav showing the registered version
(plus the harness build when it differs) and the short source commit, with the
full hash on hover. It sits outside the nav's scroll container so it stays at
the bottom-left, and it is .admin-only, so syncAdminVisibility() hides it from
non-admins the same way it hides the Admin nav group.
The commit resolves at import via `git rev-parse HEAD` and is the string
"unknown" when that fails — a read-only Docker tree with no .git. The footer
treats "unknown" as absent and stays hidden when nothing is left to show,
rather than printing it. The collapsed rail and the two narrow tab-rail
layouts hide it too: neither has a bottom-left to write in.
settings.js is 5,721 lines and the registry/navigation/search/sidebar/
lifecycle primitives already live in static/js/settings/. What was left
behind in the coordinator was the layer above them: what happens when a
panel becomes active, where an admin-managed tab is handed to admin.js,
which elements are admin-only, the Appearance window fade, and the
public open/close. That layer reached module-global `modalEl` and
`initialized` directly, so none of it could be exercised without
booting every panel in the file — and every panel I eventually move out
would have to route back through it.
Three modules, no behavior change:
shell.js panel-activation side effects, the admin handoff,
.admin-only visibility, open()/close(). Takes what it
needs from settings.js as injected callbacks, the same
shape bindSettingsNavigation() already uses, so it
holds no panel state.
peek.js the Appearance window fade and its toggle. It is window
chrome rather than Appearance panel data, and it has to
be cleared when the user leaves that panel.
oauthReturn.js the once-per-load return path from the Google OAuth
redirect. It was an IIFE running at module evaluation
in the middle of a 5,700-line file.
settings.js keeps open/close/syncAdminVisibility as exports, so every
caller (app.js, calendar.js, chatStream.js, gallery.js, admin.js,
modelPicker.js, slashCommands.js, chatRenderer.js, emailLibrary.js) is
untouched. 5,721 -> 5,583 lines; the settings/ modules go 887 -> 1,107.
The real-ESM coordinator smoke now links the three new files and asserts
what moved: admin-only elements hidden for a non-admin and shown for an
admin, an admin-managed tab click handed to admin.js without a second
local activation, and the Peek fade applying on Appearance and clearing
when the user navigates away. The OAuth test follows its handler to the
new file and additionally pins the coordinator wiring, since "uses the
module-local open()" is now a property of the seam rather than of one
source slice.
No new module needs a cache-busting query or an sw.js precache entry:
the existing settings/ submodules have neither, they load transitively
from settings.js's versioned URL, and sw.js serves JS network-first.
admin.js stays where it is. It has no shell to extract — open() and
close() already delegate to settingsModule, and its 4,122 lines are all
panel code. That is a panel split, not this one.
static/js/settings.js was 5,721 lines behind a four-name public surface.
static/js/settings/ already existed with dom, registry, search, sidebar,
navigation and lifecycle, so this continues that package rather than
inventing a layout.
Moved verbatim, 407 lines:
settings/speech.js initTtsSettings, initSttSettings
settings/writingStyle.js initDocumentWritingStyle
settings/imageModels.js initImageSettings
settings/agent.js initAgentSettings
settings/api.js postSettings, lifted from _postSettings
These five were chosen because their only dependencies outside themselves
were el/byId, _postSettings and sortModelIds. Panels with wider reach stay
put: initEmailAccountsSettings, for instance, pulls a 64-declaration closure
covering most of the file, and splitting that is a design change rather than
a move.
settings.js keeps its public surface exactly: open, close,
refreshAiModelEndpoints and the default export, verified in a browser.
Three test updates the move required:
- tests/helpers/test_settings_shell_coordinator.mjs allowlists the real
modules the coordinator may import, and rejected the new ones. That guard
working is the reason to trust the rest of this diff.
- two source-introspection tests read settings.js for behaviour that now
lives in a panel module. They read the whole settings surface now, so the
next extraction does not break them again.
