* fix(memory): keep the Brain memory item menu above the modal at any stack depth
The memory item "⋮" dropdown is portaled to <body> with a hardcoded
z-index of 10001. Tool modals, however, get a monotonically increasing
z-index from modalManager's bring-to-front counter (_modalTopZ), which
climbs unbounded as modals are opened/restored over a session. Once that
counter passes 10001, the Brain modal stacks above the body-portaled
dropdown, so the menu renders behind the panel — visible only where it
spills past the modal's edge (#4720).
Derive the dropdown's z-index from the owning modal's current z-index
(+1), keeping 10001 as a floor for the common low-counter case, so the
menu always sits just above its modal however high the counter has climbed.
Verified with document.elementFromPoint at the dropdown's location: with a
high modal z-index the old build returns the modal at every sampled point
(menu behind); the fixed build returns the dropdown (menu on top). The
default low-counter case is unchanged (z stays 10001).
* refactor(modal): route body-portaled dropdowns through a shared topPortalZ() helper
The hardcoded z-index:10001 the Brain memory menu used (#4720) is the same
literal shared by ~16 body-portaled dropdowns across calendar, cookbook,
cookbookServe, documentLibrary, emailLibrary, gallery, notes, emojiPicker and
memory — each renders behind its owning tool modal once modalManager's
bring-to-front counter climbs past the literal over a long session.
Promote the per-dropdown fix into a single topPortalZ() helper in
toolWindowZOrder.js — the existing source of truth for tool-window z, already
imported by modalManager's _bringToFront and notes.js — returning
max(topToolWindowZ(), dock-chip floor) + 1, so a portaled dropdown always sits
just above the live tool-window stack however high the counter has climbed.
Route all 16 sites through it. The slashCommands tour tooltips and the
cookbookServe VRAM dialog are intentionally left out (neither is a modal-owned
portaled dropdown).
Add tests/test_portal_dropdown_z_js.py covering the helper, including the #4720
scenario (modal counter at 99999 -> dropdown at 100000). Existing
test_notes_z_order_js.py stays green.
The app's ad-hoc dropdown/context menus each wire their own document-level
outside-click listener, but that listener only removes itself on an *outside*
click. Every other dismissal path -- clicking a menu item (which calls
el.remove() directly), a Cancel button, Escape, or the "close the
previously-open menu" reopen sweep -- tears the node down without
unregistering the listener, orphaning it on `document`. The stranded listener
then lingers and can break the next menu interaction: the recurring "the
button stops working until I refresh the page" class of bug (e.g. delete an
email, then the kebab/more button is dead on the other rows).
Route all 16 of these menus through the existing escMenuStack helper
(bindMenuDismiss / dismissOrRemove), exactly as documentLibrary.js
_showLibDropdown, cookbookRunning.js, and research/panel.js already do: a
single idempotent close() owns the teardown and is released on every dismissal
path, reopen sweeps use dismissOrRemove() instead of a bare .remove(), and
Escape flows through the central LIFO esc-stack arbiter. Net -49 lines.
Menus migrated: cookbook _showDepMenu; document export menu and
_openDocAiReplyChoice; emailInbox _showEmailMenu; emailLibrary
_showReaderMoreMenu / _showCardMenu / _showBulkActionsMenu; gallery
_showGalleryBulkMenu; notes _pickCustomDate / _openNoteCornerMenu; settings
(3 unified-integrations dropdowns); skills _openSkillMenu; tasks
_showTaskDropdown; compare _toggleExportMenu.
Per-menu semantics preserved (anchor-as-inside tests, the tasks 250ms
ghost-click guard, emailLibrary's reader-more-active anchor class and the
bulk-Cancel select-mode reset, settings' reused-vs-recreated lifecycles).
Six menus with custom lifecycles (notes _openReminderMenu, sessions
long-press, document markdown-toolbar, emojiPicker, compare model selector)
are intentionally left for a follow-up -- each needs individual review.

- Calendar overnight events render proportionally across day boundaries
via --start-frac / --end-frac CSS vars instead of bleeding as full-day
on day 2.
- Recurring-event delete strips the master uid + all master::* sibling
instances optimistically so the row clears immediately instead of
waiting for the next sync re-render.
- manage_notes(create) now returns note_id + open_url, and agent_loop
appends a markdown [View note](#note-<id>) link mirroring the
deep-research pattern.
- chatRenderer's hash-link router (already wired for #note-id) reaches
the new notes.openNote(id) helper, which force-closes/reopens the
Notes panel, polls for the target card, and runs a brief outline
flash so the user can locate it on long lists.
- Claude Agent integration: AGENT_CONFIGS.claude, INTG_TYPES.claude,
setup_claude_routes + integrations/claude/ skill bundle. Wired in
app.py alongside the existing Codex integration; same scope-gated
/api/codex/* backend; agent form has new description so users know
it's setup for an external CLI, not an agent streamed inside Odysseus.
- Remove mark_email_boundaries action: not good enough yet. Stripped
from task UI, scheduler defaults, registry, tool schema, clear-cache
route. Added to RETIRED_HOUSEKEEPING_ACTIONS so existing rows + their
task_runs auto-purge on startup.
- Cookbook download reliability: "Reconnect" fix button in the crash
diagnosis runs _reconnectTask after probing has-session. 30s confirm
window before marking a download "done" — kills the Finished/Downloading
flicker when tmux briefly drops between captures.
- Mobile UX: tap anywhere on a note card body opens the editor;
Update button morphs to Archive when no text was edited; bell icon
accent-colored; chip-trashing notif pills fade so only the icon
rotates into the trash zone.
- Settings integrations: SVG-per-provider in email + API preset
dropdowns, custom drop-up-aware menus, accent sub-header icons
(IMAP/SMTP), consistent card styling between list + edit, contacts
Edit/Delete icons, agent form description copy.
First incremental pass at issue #86, focused on the universal entry
points and primary navigation. All changes verified in-browser with the
axe-core engine (0 violations on the surfaces below) plus manual keyboard
testing, on both desktop (1280px) and mobile (390px).
Login / first-run setup (static/login.html)
- Add a real <h1>, wrap content in <main> + <footer> landmarks.
- Mark the decorative boat SVG aria-hidden.
- Errors now use role="alert" so screen readers announce them.
- "Remember me" checkbox is keyboard-focusable (was display:none) with an
accessible name and a focus ring; dynamic 2FA field gets a linked label.
- Darken the brand-red submit button so white text clears WCAG AA 4.5:1
(was ~3.2:1); add visible :focus-visible rings.
App shell (static/index.html, static/style.css)
- Remove invalid role="region" from the <main> chat container (it was
overriding the implicit main landmark).
- Add a persistent, visually-hidden <h1> inside <main> so the page always
exposes one logical level-1 heading — works even on mobile where the
sidebar (with the visible brand) is hidden off-canvas.
- Add a reusable .a11y-visually-hidden utility.
- Raise chat-title, model-picker, settings-helper and notes text contrast
above 4.5:1 (were 2.8-3.9:1).
Keyboard nav + dialogs (static/js/a11y.js - new)
- Make the click-only <div> sidebar navigation (New Chat, Search, Brain,
Calendar, Compare, Cookbook, Deep Research, Gallery, Library, Notes,
Tasks, Theme, account) focusable and Enter/Space-activatable, announced
as buttons (skipping role=button where a nested control would create a
nested-interactive violation). Visible focus ring reused from existing
.list-item:focus-visible.
- Upgrade modals (.modal-content and the docked .notes-pane) to labelled
role="dialog" + aria-modal, and normalise their title to heading level 2
so heading order stays valid. A MutationObserver covers runtime-rendered
rows and modals.
Decorative background canvases (static/js/theme.js)
- Mark all 7 bg-effect canvases aria-hidden.
Notes & Tasks (static/js/notes.js, static/js/tasks.js)
- Label the icon-only Note/To-do toggle pills (fixes a critical
button-name issue) and track aria-pressed state.
- Improve Notes header-button + empty-state contrast.
- Give the Tasks sort <select> an accessible name (fixes a critical
select-name issue).
Remaining data-dense tool modals (Tasks cards, Calendar, Gallery, Email,
Cookbook, Compare, Deep Research) still have muted-text contrast to polish
and are the next incremental step, per the issue's own guidance.
