emrg: GUI sidebar — remove history session list + keyboard nav (rant 2026-08-21T11:44:52)

[argszero]

Summary

Fixes rant 2026-08-21T11:44:52 — GUI sidebar rework:

1. Remove the history session list: the sidebar now shows only the "Open Sessions" list. Sidebar.render() (which rendered the #conv-list history list) is removed entirely along with all 5 call sites in app.js (boot init, switchSession session-not-found branch, refreshSessions, and the sessions / sessions_list broadcast handlers — state.sessions is still kept as internal state for session switching and the title bar). The <nav id="conv-list"> element is removed from index.html.

2. Remove keyboard navigation: initKeyboard / clearFocus / kbd-focus are gone from sidebar.js (the ↑↓/Enter nav was bound to the removed history list), and the .conv-item.kbd-focus CSS rule is removed.

3. Open-sessions persistence: unchanged — the existing mechanism (gui_state.json + restoreOpenSessions + renderer init.open_sessions) already restores open sessions across restarts; no gap found.

Changes

• emrg/gui/renderer/js/sidebar.js — drop render(), cwdProjectName, keyboard-nav block; highlight() targets open-sessions only
• emrg/gui/renderer/js/app.js — remove 5 Sidebar.render(...) call sites (state.sessions retained)
• emrg/gui/renderer/index.html — remove <nav id="conv-list">
• emrg/gui/renderer/css/components.css — remove .conv-item.kbd-focus rule
• emrg/gui/test/renderer.smoke.test.js — boot test now asserts state.sessions; 2 keyboard-nav tests replaced by a negative test asserting the removal; scoped-highlight test updated for single-list sidebar
• Agent.md — GUI breakdown synced (renderer smoke 126→125, integration 7→8 real node count)

Verification

• GUI: npm test — 254 tests, 246 pass, 8 skipped (live daemon owns fixed port), 0 fail
• Python: uv run pytest tests/ — 987 passed + 1 skipped (incl. doc-count guards)
• python -m emrg --help + import OK

Fresh review of the sidebar rework (rant 2026-08-21T11:44:52):

• Sidebar.render() (history #conv-list) removed entirely, plus its 5 app.js call sites (boot, session-not-found branch, refreshSessions, sessions/sessions_list broadcast handlers); state.sessions retained as internal state for switching/title bar.
• Keyboard nav removed: initKeyboard / clearFocus / kbd-focus gone from sidebar.js; .conv-item.kbd-focus CSS rule removed; <nav id="conv-list"> removed from index.html; highlight() now targets open-sessions only.
• Open-sessions persistence untouched (gui_state.json + restoreOpenSessions already cover restarts — no gap found).
• Tests: boot test now asserts state.sessions; 2 keyboard-nav tests replaced by a negative test asserting the removal; scoped-highlight test updated for single-list sidebar. Agent.md breakdown synced (merged count 255: renderer smoke 126, integration 8).
• Master merged in to resolve the Agent.md conflict with #910; verified on merged head: GUI npm test 255 (247 pass + 8 skipped), Python pytest 987 passed + 1 skipped incl. doc-count guards, import + CLI OK. CI test + test-windows PASS.

• <nav id="conv-list"> removed from index.html; .conv-item.kbd-focus CSS removed; ELEMENT_IDS cleaned.
• Tests: boot test asserts state.sessions; two keyboard-nav tests replaced by a negative test asserting the removal (conv-list / kbd-focus / initKeyboard / clearFocus absent from sidebar.js, no conv-list nav in index.html); scoped-highlight test updated for single-list sidebar. Agent.md merged count 255 (renderer smoke 126, integration 8).
• Verified on merged head: GUI npm test 255 (247 pass + 8 skipped), Python pytest 987 passed + 1 skipped incl. doc-count guards, import + CLI OK. CI test + test-windows PASS.

Summary

Fixes rant 2026-08-21T11:44:52 — GUI sidebar rework:

1. Remove the history session list: the sidebar now shows only the "Open Sessions" list. Sidebar.render() (which rendered the #conv-list history list) is removed entirely along with all 5 call sites in app.js (boot init, switchSession session-not-found branch, refreshSessions, and the sessions / sessions_list broadcast handlers — state.sessions is still kept as internal state for session switching and the title bar). The <nav id="conv-list"> element is removed from index.html.

2. Remove keyboard navigation: initKeyboard / clearFocus / kbd-focus are gone from sidebar.js (the ↑↓/Enter nav was bound to the removed history list), and the .conv-item.kbd-focus CSS rule is removed.

3. Open-sessions persistence: unchanged — the existing mechanism (gui_state.json + restoreOpenSessions + renderer init.open_sessions) already restores open sessions across restarts; no gap found.

Changes

• emrg/gui/renderer/js/sidebar.js — drop render(), cwdProjectName, keyboard-nav block; highlight() targets open-sessions only
• emrg/gui/renderer/js/app.js — remove 5 Sidebar.render(...) call sites (state.sessions retained)
• emrg/gui/renderer/index.html — remove <nav id="conv-list">
• emrg/gui/renderer/css/components.css — remove .conv-item.kbd-focus rule
• emrg/gui/test/renderer.smoke.test.js — boot test now asserts state.sessions; 2 keyboard-nav tests replaced by a negative test asserting the removal; scoped-highlight test updated for single-list sidebar
• Agent.md — GUI breakdown synced (renderer smoke 126→125, integration 7→8 real node count)

Verification

• GUI: npm test — 254 tests, 246 pass, 8 skipped (live daemon owns fixed port), 0 fail
• Python: uv run pytest tests/ — 987 passed + 1 skipped (incl. doc-count guards)
• python -m emrg --help + import OK
