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.

Contributing
Help is welcome. The best entry points are fresh-install testing, provider setup bugs, mobile/editor polish, docs, and small focused refactors. See CONTRIBUTING.md and ROADMAP.md.
Security
Odysseus is a self-hosted workspace with powerful local tools. Keep auth enabled, keep private data out of Git, and do not expose raw model/service ports publicly.
- Keep
AUTH_ENABLED=truefor any network-accessible deployment. - Keep
LOCALHOST_BYPASS=falseoutside local development.
