+# Agent Note: onboarding takeover chrome moves into the step
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-08-06-onboarding-step-owned-takeover-chrome.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+The settings shell mounted the onboarding takeover chrome — a body-portaled overlay with an opaque `--dsw-alias-bg-layer-1` stage, a blur mask, and `#root` set inert — the moment a `settings.onboarding` step was registered and not yet locally completed. Every step decides whether it actually needs to show by loading a private fact first (WelcomeNotice: the acknowledgement bit through its settings join; DeepSeekOnboardingDialog: credential readiness through the Models join) and renders `null` while that fact is in flight. Rendering `null` could not suppress the chrome, because the opaque stage was painted by the shell around the slot outlet, not by the step.
+
+On every reload while the hero (blank or no session) was current, the sessions list turning `ready` therefore popped a full-screen opaque layer — white in the light palette — and blocked all interaction for exactly one credential/settings RPC round-trip, after which the already-configured steps self-completed and the layer vanished. Users saw the app flash white each refresh the moment the workspace/session lists landed.
+
+## Decision
+
+The takeover chrome belongs to the step, not the shell. A new zero-cordis primitive, `OnboardingSurface` (ui-primitives), renders the body-portaled overlay/mask/stage — CSS class names and geometry moved verbatim from `SettingsRoot.module.css` — and holds `#root` inert for exactly its own mount lifetime. Both step components wrap only their **visible** branch in it; their existing `null` branches now paint and block nothing by construction, because the chrome is part of the same render decision.
+
+`SettingsRoot` keeps the coordinator exactly as it was (ordered ledger projection, one mounted step, local completed set, `stepId`/`complete`/`openSection` currency) but renders the elected step bare — no portal, no stage, no inert effect. The `settings.onboarding` slot contract now states that registrants own the surface wrap and must render `null` while their private facts are undecided.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Register steps conditionally (ledger as the has-content signal).** Register the entry only after the private join resolves to "needs intervention". Architecturally clean (publish at the commit point) but a larger change: the join load must move from the dialogs into each plugin's apply, and registration/disposal becomes reactive plumbing in two packages. Rejected as oversized for the defect.
+
+**Convert `settings.onboarding` to a chain with an externalized completed-set store.** The composer-takeover pattern; prototyped and reverted. Selectors can only judge owner props, so the private readiness facts still had to be resolved inside the components — the chain bought routing generality the two current steps do not need, at the cost of a contract change across three packages.
+
+**Detect empty slot output at the render site.** `renderSlot` returns an outlet element unconditionally, so the owner cannot branch on a step's `null`; probing rendered DOM emptiness needs a commit-then-retract dance whose dynamic transitions lose the pre-paint guarantee.
+
+## Consequences
+
+While a step is mounted but undecided, the application stays visible and interactive: `#root` is no longer inert during the decision window (previously it was inert behind an opaque layer). For a genuinely unconfigured user the takeover now appears one join round-trip later than before — but with its content already present, instead of an empty stage that fills in.
+
+A future step that registers without wrapping its visible content in `OnboardingSurface` renders bare over the app with no mask; the slot contract JSDoc names the wrap as the registrant's obligation.
+
+## Testing
+
+`packages/client/ui-primitives/tests/onboarding-surface.spec.tsx` pins the primitive: body portal around the content, mask/stage class presence, `#root` inert held for exactly the mount lifetime, and the no-`#root` composition. `packages/client/ui-settings/tests/settings-root.spec.tsx` pins the inverted shell contract: no takeover chrome and no inert while a mounted step renders nothing. `apps/web/tests/onboarding-deepseek-config.e2e.ts` gains the defect's assembled regression pin: a configured world reloads while every `settings.describe` response is held open at the browser's network boundary — widening the steps' deciding window from loopback-invisible to hundreds of milliseconds, which is what keeps the assertions non-vacuous — and an 8 ms in-page sampler proves the takeover chrome never mounts and `#root` never turns inert. The file's existing scenarios and the step specs (`ui-settings-general`, `ui-models`) pass unchanged — the mask selector and geometry pins survive because the stylesheet moved verbatim.

+# Agent Note：首次使用引导的接管界面框架移入步骤自身
+
+状态：已实现
+
+[English](2026-08-06-onboarding-step-owned-takeover-chrome.md) | 中文
+
+## 问题
+
+设置外壳在 `settings.onboarding` 有已注册且本地未完成的步骤时，就立即挂出首次使用引导的接管界面框架——portal 到 body 的浮层，带不透明的 `--dsw-alias-bg-layer-1` 展示层、模糊遮罩，并把 `#root` 置为 `inert`。而每个步骤都要先加载私有事实才能判定自己是否需要出场（WelcomeNotice：经其设置 join 读取确认位；DeepSeekOnboardingDialog：经 Models join 读取凭据就绪状态），判定期间渲染 `null`。渲染 `null` 无法抑制界面框架，因为不透明展示层是外壳画在 slot outlet 外面的，不属于步骤。
+
+于是每次在 hero（空白或无会话）状态下刷新页面，会话列表一变 `ready` 就弹出整屏不透明层——亮色主题下是白色——并阻断全部交互，时长恰好等于一次凭据/设置 RPC 往返；之后已配置好的步骤自我完成，图层消失。用户看到的就是每次刷新在 workspace/会话列表落地的瞬间闪一下白屏。
+
+## 决定
+
+接管界面框架属于步骤，不属于外壳。新增零 cordis 原语 `OnboardingSurface`（ui-primitives）：渲染 portal 到 body 的浮层／遮罩／展示层——CSS 类名与几何从 `SettingsRoot.module.css` 逐字迁移——并在自身挂载生命周期内保持 `#root` 为 `inert`。两个步骤组件只把各自的**可见**分支包进该原语；既有的 `null` 分支由此在构造上不绘制、不阻塞任何内容，因为界面框架已是同一次渲染决策的一部分。
+
+`SettingsRoot` 的协调器原样保留（有序账本投影、每次挂载一个步骤、本地完成集合、`stepId`／`complete`／`openSection` currency），但对当选步骤裸渲染——不再有 portal、展示层和 inert 效果。`settings.onboarding` 的 slot 契约现在写明：注册方持有外层包裹，且在私有事实未决时必须渲染 `null`。
+
+## 曾考虑的替代方案
+
+**条件注册（账本即有内容信号）。** 私有 join 解析出「需要介入」后才注册条目。架构上干净（在 commit point 发布），但改动更大：join 的加载必须从对话框上移到各插件的 apply，注册／销毁在两个包里都变成响应式接线。对本缺陷而言过重，否决。
+
+**把 `settings.onboarding` 改成 chain 并把完成集合外置为 store。** composer takeover 的版型；做过原型后回退。selector 只能判定 owner props，私有就绪事实仍然只能在组件内部解析——chain 买来的是当前两个步骤并不需要的路由通用性，代价却是跨三个包的契约变更。
+
+**在渲染点探测 slot 输出为空。** `renderSlot` 无条件返回 outlet 元素，owner 无法据步骤的 `null` 分支；探测已渲染 DOM 是否为空需要先提交再撤回的手法，其动态翻转会失去 paint 前的保证。
+
+## 后果
+
+步骤已挂载但尚未判定期间，应用保持可见且可交互：判定窗口内 `#root` 不再是 `inert`（此前是在不透明图层背后被置灰）。对真正未配置的用户，接管层比从前晚一个 join 往返出现——但一出现就带着内容，而不是先露出空白展示层再填充。
+
+未来若有步骤注册后不把可见内容包进 `OnboardingSurface`，会无遮罩地裸渲染在应用之上；slot 契约的 JSDoc 已把包裹写为注册方的义务。
+
+## 测试
+
+`packages/client/ui-primitives/tests/onboarding-surface.spec.tsx` 钉住原语行为：内容外的 body portal、遮罩／展示层类名存在、`#root` 的 `inert` 恰好持续挂载生命周期，以及无 `#root` 的组合。`packages/client/ui-settings/tests/settings-root.spec.tsx` 钉住反转后的外壳契约：已挂载步骤什么都不渲染时，无接管界面框架、无 inert。`apps/web/tests/onboarding-deepseek-config.e2e.ts` 新增本缺陷的整装回归钉：已配置世界刷新页面，同时在浏览器网络边界扣住所有 `settings.describe` 响应——把步骤的判定窗口从 loopback 下不可见拉宽到数百毫秒，这正是断言保持非空洞的关键——页内 8ms 采样器证明接管界面框架从未挂载、`#root` 从未变为 inert。该文件的既有场景与步骤 spec（`ui-settings-general`、`ui-models`）原样通过——样式表逐字迁移，遮罩选择器与几何钉子得以幸存。

 Settings shell plugin: a pure composition face. It occupies `sidebar.settings` with the trigger chrome and modal settings panel, and declares the slots registrants fill: `settings.trigger` / `settings.header` / `settings.close` (chrome content), `settings.action` (ordered content-header actions), `settings.section` (one page per feature), and `settings.onboarding` (ordered feature-owned pages in a full-viewport stage). The shell ships no copy of its own — all text arrives from registrants (ui-settings-general owns chrome, General, and the product notice; features own their actions, sections, rows, and conditional onboarding pages). Nav labels may be locale-following thunks, so the nav projection resolves them through `resolveSlotLabel` and re-renders on the section ledger bump or the locale revision (an optional `ctx.get('locale')` read; no hard locale dependency).
 
-The shell projects the onboarding ledger into ascending order and mounts exactly one page at a time in a body-level stage while marking the underlying app root inert. The active registrant receives its id, `complete()`, and an `openSection(id)` callback; completing or skipping transfers ownership to the next entry. Registrants own durable completion, capability readiness, copy, and mutations, so independently registered flows cannot stack and the shell does not become a second configuration fact source.
+The shell projects the onboarding ledger into ascending order and mounts exactly one page at a time; the takeover chrome (body-level stage, mask, app-root `inert`) belongs to the step itself through ui-primitives' `OnboardingSurface`, so a mounted step still resolving its private facts renders null and neither paints nor blocks anything — the shell shows no empty stage while a step decides.

 设置外壳插件：一个纯组合表层。它以触发控件和模态设置面板占用 `sidebar.settings`，并声明由注册方填充的 slot：`settings.trigger`／`settings.header`／`settings.close`（界面框架内容）、`settings.action`（内容标题栏中的有序操作）、`settings.section`（每项功能一页）和 `settings.onboarding`（由各功能持有、显示在全视口展示层中的有序页面）。外壳不自带文案：所有文本都来自注册方（ui-settings-general 拥有界面框架、「通用」分区和产品声明；各功能拥有各自的操作、分区、行和条件式首次使用引导页面）。导航 label 可以是跟随语言的 thunk，因此导航投影经 `resolveSlotLabel` 解析，并在分区账本更新或 locale revision 变化时重新渲染（`ctx.get('locale')` 可选读取，无硬 locale 依赖）。
