Adds the two windows the app was missing and separates the four scopes that had been sharing one dropdown. Implements notes/plan-projects-and-setup-2026-08-17.md, which is in the branch and records the decisions and what changed while building.

What moved

project ▾ held the workspace folder, the recent folders, the project list, creation, the ceilings, the credentials panel and the updater. Four scopes, one 540px dialog, and the two most different actions in the app — switch project, switch folder — six rows apart and styled identically.

control now lives in
switch project project ▾, and the projects window
folder, recent list a new workspace ▾, with a confirmation
ceilings, creation, closing, per-project models the projects window
token, models, backends, credentials, version the setup window

Five stages

  1. projects window — every project's three ceilings, spend, payer, memory files and UNBOUNDED state, without switching to it first. Plus the workspace ▾ split.
  2. core/settings.py + tools/setup.py — the writable overlay. config/grad.toml is hand-annotated and tomllib cannot write TOML, so nothing edits it; the overlay lives under the app directory, per workspace (because paths.config_path() already resolves that file per workspace), outranks it, and reports what it shadows — the rule kaggle account already established. A test asserts the TOML is byte-identical after every setup command.
  3. setup window — four steps as tabs, not stages. Opens automatically on a workspace with no saved arrangement and no subscription token, because the four windows it would otherwise open cannot do anything.
  4. project half on create — ceilings and payer go through budget new, not a raise afterwards. Setup opens after a create only when something is left to answer.
  5. per-project modelsbudget configure appends a project_configured event. Resolution: project → workspace overlay → workspace grad.toml → installed grad.toml → legacy key → default. Switching to a project that overrides research rebuilds the live client, which it previously did not.

Three bugs, each with a regression test

  • A stored Claude token never reached the agent's own loop. The main loop reads ambient CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN; sdk_env reads the credential store; nothing joined them. A token stored through the credentials panel ran the funnel and the mutation operator and left the main loop unauthenticated — the installed app only, which is why it survived.
  • kaggle_key had no purpose text, and hf_token was marked unconditionally required — so a Kaggle user saw a red MISSING for a token they will never need. Requirement is a fact about a backend now.
  • kit.attr did not escape backslashes, so any Windows path in a tooltip raised out of element.props(). First triggered by workspace ▾.

One of these the suite structurally could not catch — the populated-render test was swallowing a NameError in the failure card shell._render deliberately draws. That test now asserts on content per window and that "failed to render" appears nowhere; verified by reintroducing the bug and watching it fail.

Verification

Full suite green. Driven end to end in a live browser preview against a scratch workspace: created a project with ceilings, set a per-project model override and backend, and confirmed both windows render and the running app picks up CLI writes with no restart.

…w, a window that forgot where it was, a wait that spent a turn to learn nothing, and a campaign whose hours nothing could count

The sticky transcript worked and then stopped, permanently, on an action nobody
would connect to it. `gradStickBottom` attaches a MutationObserver to
`#grad-transcript` and marks the node; it was called once, from the chat
window's render. A retile moves every window root through the attic with
`Element.move()`, NiceGUI reparents server-side, and the client *re-creates* the
node -- new node, no marker, no observer, and the old observer left watching an
orphan. Nothing re-ran the render, so nothing re-armed it. Measured before and
after: content grows 396->1516 and `scrollTop` follows to 1120; after a retile it
grows the same and `scrollTop` stays 0. Every layout move goes through
`_after_layout_change` -- open, close, focus, preset, swap, drag -- so opening one
window, once, was enough for the rest of the session.

`gradRearm` re-arms every pinned id and the retile calls it. That found a second
bug underneath: `kit.run_js` builds a `ui.timer`, an element, in the enclosing
slot -- and inside an event handler that slot belongs to the element the handler
was bound to, which a handler that rebuilds the UI has just deleted. There is no
recovering from there, because `context.client` is itself reached *through* the
current slot. It raises into `ui/state.py:_guard`, which logs and carries on, so
the JavaScript simply never ran. The call now sits inside `with tiles`, which
outlives every retile, and the docstring says why.

**The window never remembered anything.** `ui.run` hardcoded 1600x1000 and
passed no position; nothing in the tree read or wrote geometry. The reason it was
never a one-liner is the one `hold_window_open` already documents -- pywebview
runs in a *separate process* and this side holds a proxy with no events -- but
NiceGUI 3.16 bridges `moved`/`resized`/`maximized` back over a pipe, so it is a
plain handler here rather than another pickled function riding across. Restoring
is clamped against the attached screens: a saved position is a promise about a
monitor arrangement, and undocking breaks the promise into a window that is
running, holding the port and the lock, and on no pixels. Maximizing needed one
extra care -- it moves and resizes too, so the flag arriving after the rectangle
would have restored a screen-sized window at 0,0 and lost the size someone chose.

**A double-clicked shortcut showed nothing for several seconds.** No console, no
window until NiceGUI has imported, bound a port and started a WebView2 host --
which reads as a shortcut that does not work, so people click it again and the
second launch hands over to the first and still shows nothing. `ui/splash.py` is
a separate Tk process, and separate is the point: the reason nothing is on screen
is that this interpreter is busy importing, and importing holds the GIL, so a
shared Tk loop would put up a window that does not paint -- which Windows greys
out and offers to close. On screen in about 0.4s. Clicking it drops it behind
everything and it keeps waiting; dragging moves it; neither cancels a launch that
is not this process's to cancel. Liveness is the parent's pipe, so it also goes
away if the app crashes rather than exits.

**Waiting cost a turn every few minutes to learn nothing.** `tools/jobs.py` has
said since it was written that a two-hour poll inside the agent's only shell is a
tool timeout waiting to happen, and named a problem it did not solve: the
alternative was `sleep 30`, look, `sleep 60`, look, with the sleeps growing or
the watching costing more than the job. `tools/wakeup.py` arms a condition and
the turn *ends*. A detached watcher polls out of process and starts a new turn
when it fires. `core/tasks.py` fixed starting things without waiting; this is
being told.

The conditions are a closed list -- a task's record, a run's backend status, a
path, a clock -- and there is deliberately no `--command`. `hooks.py` gates every
Bash and `tools/task.py` re-uses `evaluate_bash` so backgrounding cannot become
the way round it; a wakeup running an arbitrary command on a timer would be that
bypass with a delay on it. The delivery endpoint is the only authenticated thing
on the app's port, because unlike `/__grad/show` it starts a turn for an agent
with Bash access, and any process on the machine can open a loopback socket.

Live testing caught what the tests could not: `from __future__ import
annotations` makes every annotation a string, FastAPI resolves them against
module globals, and `Request` imported inside `build()` is not one -- so it
decided the parameter was a *query* field and answered every delivery with a 422.
The body is taken as a plain `dict` now.

**Evolve candidates run on real hardware, on all three backends.** Phase 1 was
local-only to prove the records and the gate at zero blast radius; those are
proven. `--remote {ssh|hf_jobs|kaggle} --remote-spec <spec>` refuses unless that
spec's preflight is complete and passing *including the smoke run* -- named in
code rather than read from `[preflight] checks`, so a machine configured without
`smoke` cannot let a loop with no human in it put forty candidates on hardware
nothing has run one step on. Candidates still never enter `runs.jsonl`.

The loop is local and the compute is not, which decides the shape. A mutation
changes an architecture or an optimiser, so evaluating one is a training run --
and the first version of the SSH adapter got that wrong. It held a synchronous
ssh channel for the whole evaluation, which is fine for two minutes and, for
forty, is a connection a NAT timeout or a sleeping laptop drops. That does not
produce a failed candidate; it produces one that scored *nothing* because the
network moved, which the search then selects against. Detached under `nohup` with
a marker and polled now, like `submit`, and bounded by `timeout` on the host
rather than only in the poll -- a poll giving up ends the function, not the
training run, and an abandoned candidate holds the GPU the next one is about to
be measured on.

The three differ only in how the program gets there, so each owns its adapter:
`scp` to a host that stays up, one file swapped inside the base64 payload already
embedded in Kaggle's notebook, or a gzipped tar in an environment variable for HF
Jobs, whose pipeline is in the image and which has no upload step at all.

Kaggle needed a gate the dollar gate cannot be: it rations *hours*, so a campaign
priced at zero passes `_campaign_gate` unconditionally. Worse, the quota fold
reads `runs.jsonl` and candidates deliberately never go there -- a hole exactly
the size of a campaign, whose first symptom would have been an ordinary
submission refused for hours nothing could account for. `core/kaggle_quota.py`
folds candidate rows beside runs, and the campaign is projected against the
weekly allowance before generation 0. The session cap and the allowance take
different numbers, so they are asked separately: one candidate for the session,
the projection for the week. Conflating them would refuse a perfectly ordinary
search of twenty one-hour candidates for exceeding a twelve-hour session.

Verified: 1,404 pass, 1 skipped. The retile fix and the wake endpoint were
checked against a running app; the window geometry end to end against a real
native window in an isolated app directory. Nothing has run against live remote
hardware on any backend -- the adapters are stubbed at the `_ssh`,
`kernels push` and `run_job` seams, and the first real campaign should be one
generation of two candidates somewhere cheap. Two assumptions in the HF Jobs
path are unmeasured and worth meeting early: that the platform accepts a ~200 KB
environment variable, and that the image's WORKDIR is where the unpacked files
belong.

…asked for your token once per project, a credential the agent's own loop never saw, and a tooltip no Windows path could survive

Projects gets a window, setup gets a window, and `project ▾` goes back to
switching projects.

**The dropdown was four scopes.** Behind one button labelled `project` sat the
workspace folder, the recent folders, the project list, project creation, the
ceilings, the credentials panel and the updater. Switching *project* changes
what spend is charged to; switching *folder* replaces the ledger, the project
list, the notebooks and the config under every open window. Those two sat six
rows apart, styled identically. They are now two appbar controls, and the folder
one asks before it moves.

**Ceilings for a project you are not on.** The menu's raise controls addressed
the selected project only, so reading what bounded any other one meant switching
to it -- which reloads every window in the app to answer a question about a
number. The projects window draws all three ceilings for every project, says
UNBOUNDED where that is true, and offers the reason field the CLI has always
taken.

**Created with no ceilings, and a caption where the fix should have been.** The
old form made a project that bounds nothing and put "set them below once it is
selected" underneath the button. The ceilings are in the create form now, and
they go through `budget new` rather than a raise afterwards -- a raise records a
ceiling that *moved*, which is a different claim from what a project was allowed
from the start.

**The setup window, and why it is not the project's.** Three of its four steps
-- the subscription token, the six model roles, which backends this machine can
reach -- are facts about the machine. Hung off project creation they would ask a
user with six projects for their Claude token six times. So creation asks only
the project's own half, and opens setup afterwards only when there is something
in it left to answer. A workspace with no saved arrangement and no token opens
on it, because the four windows it would otherwise open are four windows that
cannot do anything.

**`config/grad.toml` is still never machine-written.** It is hand-annotated,
`tomllib` cannot write TOML, and the comments are the reasoning. So setup writes
`core/settings.py` -- an overlay under the app directory, per workspace because
`paths.config_path()` already resolves that file per workspace -- which outranks
the file and reports what it is shadowing, exactly as `kaggle account` does.
`tests/test_settings.py` asserts the TOML is byte-identical after every setup
command.

**A project can choose its own models.** `budget configure` appends a
`project_configured` event, because the model a candidate was mutated by is part
of what produced the numbers in the ledger beside it. Resolution is now project
-> workspace overlay -> workspace grad.toml -> installed grad.toml -> legacy key
-> default, and `model_for(role, project=False)` answers the same question with
the top layer removed, which the projects window needs because it draws every
project and only one of them is selected.

**And the client is rebuilt when that changes.** `ClaudeSDKClient` options are
built once, at client start. Switching to a project that overrides `research`
while a session is live left the previous model answering -- silently, while
every other surface said otherwise. `Session.apply_model` is `apply_effort`'s
sibling and lazy for the same reason.

Three bugs found on the way, each with a regression test:

* **A stored Claude token never reached the agent's own loop.** The main loop
  authenticates from ambient `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`, `sdk_env` reads the
  credential store, and nothing joined them -- so a token stored through the
  credentials panel ran the funnel and the mutation operator and left the main
  loop unauthenticated. It bit the installed app and not the terminal, which is
  why it survived. `credentials.hydrate_environment()` bridges them, after the
  scrub and never over an exported token.

* **`kaggle_key` had no purpose text**, being in `credentials.ALL` and not in
  `CREDENTIAL_NOTES` -- the free backend's credential was the one row that said
  nothing about itself. The `required` flag it would have inherited is gone with
  it: `hf_token` was marked required, so a user who had chosen Kaggle saw a red
  MISSING for a token they will never need. Requirement is a fact about a
  backend, and `tools/setup.py:readiness` is where it lives now.

* **`kit.attr` did not escape backslashes.** NiceGUI hands each props value to
  `ast.literal_eval`, so `C:\Users\...` in a tooltip contains `\U`, begins a
  unicode escape, and raises out of `element.props()` -- taking down whatever
  was being built. It had never fired because no control had put a path in a
  tooltip until `workspace ▾`.

One of these the suite could not see: `_project()` referenced a name not in its
scope and everything stayed green, because the empty-workspace render test
returns before that branch and the populated one caught the NameError in the
failure card `shell._render` deliberately draws. That card is right and it is
also a blind spot, so `test_every_window_renders_with_real_data` now asserts on
content per window and that "failed to render" appears nowhere.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 239c0

This PR adds new project and setup workflows while changing credential, wakeup, window, and remote-execution behavior. The current version still risks exposing a secret during file creation, running work after it is no longer tracked, accepting failed candidates, and leaving users with stuck or misleading UI states; these issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Correct the comment, or write the record before the spawn.

The comment states that the record "is written before the process can look for it". The code does the opposite: Line 125 spawns the watcher, and Line 126 writes the record. cmd_watch compensates by waiting up to 10 seconds for the record, so behavior is bounded. The comment still describes an order the code does not use.

Consider writing the armed record first with a placeholder pid, then spawning the watcher, then appending the pid. That removes the race instead of bounding it.

The stated cancel latency is wrong for run conditions.

The note promises that the watcher stops within POLL_MAX_S seconds, which is 30. For a run condition, one check call can block for up to 180 seconds inside _status_envelope (core/wakeups.py Line 435) before the loop re-reads the record. The watcher then stops later than the message states.

wk.TERMINAL includes FIRED and EXPIRED. A wake that fired into a closed application is terminal but undelivered, and pending_delivery exists to surface exactly that record (core/wakeups.py Lines 240-251). One clear removes it, so the agent loses the report it was meant to find on its return.

Keep undelivered wakes unless the caller asks for them, and report the count that was kept.

Prefer shrinking CANDIDATE_POLL_S over patching the stdlib time.sleep.

gpu_tool.time is the stdlib time module, so this line replaces time.sleep for the whole process while the test runs. Any code the test reaches, including library code, then loses its sleeps. The module constant expresses the same intent and stays inside the unit under test.

♻️ Proposed refactor
     def install(self, monkeypatch):
         monkeypatch.setattr(gpu_tool, "_ssh", self.ssh)

Inline comments:
In `@core/config.py`:
- Around line 499-506: Update the inventory merge in the config-loading flow
around overlay_hosts so hosts are combined by name but each overlay host
completely replaces the corresponding TOML host entry, rather than recursively
merging fields. Preserve TOML-only hosts and overlay-only hosts, while ensuring
collisions do not inherit omitted settings such as credentials, user, or notes.

In `@core/wakeups.py`:
- Around line 165-173: Update the token-file creation flow around token_path so
the file is opened/created with mode 0o600 before writing the secret, rather
than using write_text followed by chmod. Preserve the existing directory
creation, fallback logging, and readback behavior; add the necessary os
usage/import to enforce the mode at creation.

In `@tools/evolve.py`:
- Around line 1251-1261: Update the Kaggle fields assignment in the
hours-handling block to fall back to the resolved target’s accelerator and
accelerator_kind when the adapter result omits either value, while continuing to
prefer non-empty values from result. Use the existing _remote_target resolution
data and preserve the F_ACTUAL assignment and field mappings.

In `@tools/gpu.py`:
- Around line 504-515: Update the marker exit-code handling in the candidate
result flow to reject missing, null, and non-numeric exit_code values rather
than converting them to success or allowing conversion errors to escape. Match
the existing refusal behavior in kaggle.py, ensuring malformed markers produce a
failed/unscored candidate and cannot be accepted as metrics; preserve normal
numeric exit-code handling.

In `@tools/jobs.py`:
- Around line 582-597: Update the HF candidate result construction around the
state-derived ok value so every terminal non-COMPLETED state reports a failed
run rather than an unrun candidate: retain exit_code as None without
contradicting comments, while ensuring tools/evolve.py:_evaluate_remotely does
not classify these results as skipped. Update
test_an_hf_candidate_reports_a_state_not_an_invented_exit_code to assert
job_state and that the candidate is not skipped, preserving the existing
never-reached-platform handling via _failed.

In `@tools/kaggle.py`:
- Around line 1108-1117: Update the non-terminal timeout branch in the candidate
flow around _wait to attempt deletion or cancellation of ref before returning
_failed. If cleanup fails, record that failure in the returned failure state so
quota reconciliation can identify candidates that may still execute, while
preserving the existing timeout status and message.

In `@ui/desktop.py`:
- Around line 810-813: Update track_window’s remember/maximized handling to
retain a single complete normal rectangle across the moved-then-resized event
burst, rather than replacing _previous with a partial state; use that preserved
rectangle when setting _geometry["maximized"]. Add a regression test covering
moved, resized, then maximized in order and verify the saved geometry remains
consistent.

startup failures.

Minor comments:
In `@core/config.py`:
- Around line 431-435: Update tools/evolve.py:_remote_target to resolve
project_overlay["backend"] when args.remote is absent, while preserving explicit
--remote precedence. Add a regression test covering backend selection from the
project overlay.

In `@core/settings.py`:
- Around line 247-255: Update the host-rate validation after converting rate in
the relevant settings flow to reject non-finite values using
math.isfinite(rate), alongside the existing malformed and negative-rate checks,
before invoking _write; preserve the existing UsageError behavior and message
style for invalid rates.

In `@tests/test_evolve_remote.py`:
- Around line 591-594: Rename the unused metrics variable unpacked in
test_metrics_without_a_combined_score_are_still_refused_remotely to use a
leading underscore, while preserving the problem assertion and test behavior.

In `@tests/test_review_fixes_2.py`:
- Around line 676-694: Add the existing workspace fixture parameter to
test_preflight_hydrates_and_reports_where_the_token_came_from and the other

- Around line 71-74: Replace the assertion comparing out["expires_at"] with
out["wake"][5:] in the _arm test with an assertion that parses expires_at as an
ISO 8601 timestamp, while preserving the existing expiry-after-armed_at check.

In `@tools/budget.py`:
- Around line 252-267: Update the models report in the project configuration
flow so it resolves against the configured project_id rather than implicitly
using current_project(). Preserve the existing effective-model behavior for the
current project and ensure overrides and models describe the same target
project.

preserving the existing role, model, overlay, config, and default values.

In `@tools/wakeup.py`:
- Around line 120-133: Update the wakeup flow around spawn_watcher and
record_armed so the armed record is created before starting the watcher, using a
placeholder PID and then recording the actual PID after spawn; otherwise correct
the adjacent comment to accurately describe the current spawn-before-record

Create the token file with restricted permissions before writing the secret.

write_text creates the file with the default umask mode. The chmod(0o600) runs after the secret is already on disk. Any local process can read the token in that window. The module docstring states that only this application can read a mode-600 file, so the current order weakens the documented guarantee.

Open the file with mode 0o600 first, then write.

Fall back to the resolved target for the Kaggle accelerator fields.

_remote_target already resolved accelerator and accelerator_kind for a Kaggle campaign (Lines 694-696). Here both values are read only from the adapter result. If an adapter returns hours without accelerator_kind, the candidate row stores accelerator_kind: null. core/kaggle_quota.py:_fold_candidates skips every row whose kind is empty, so those hours never count against the weekly allowance. The candidate row is the only place those hours exist, so the campaign burns unaccounted GPU hours and the first symptom is an ordinary submission refused later.

🐛 Proposed fix: prefer the result, then the resolved target
     if result.get("hours") is not None:
         from core import kaggle_quota  # noqa: PLC0415
 
         fields[kaggle_quota.F_ACTUAL] = float(result["hours"])

Do not read a missing exit code as success.

int(marker.get("exit_code") or 0) maps an absent or null exit_code to 0. The function then reports ok: True and the driver accepts the last output line as metrics. A truncated or partially written marker therefore enters the population as a scored candidate. A non-numeric value is worse: int() raises, the exception leaves the worker thread through pool.map in tools/evolve.py:_evaluate_generation, and the whole campaign closes as failed.

tools/kaggle.py already refuses the same condition instead of inventing an outcome. Match it here.

     output = _read_remote_logs(host, remote_dir)

Distinguish a failed HF candidate from one that never ran.

tools/evolve.py:_evaluate_remotely treats exit_code is None as "the host could not run it" and records the candidate as skipped. Here every non-COMPLETED terminal state also returns None, so a job that ended in ERROR or FAILED is recorded as skipped even though it ran and cost money. The next generation's prompt then never sees that the mutation failed, while the SSH path does record it (see tests/test_evolve_remote.py Lines 411-433). _failed already covers the real "never reached the platform" case.

The inline comment also states that exit_code stays None, which the 0 if ok expression contradicts.

🐛 Proposed fix: report a terminal failure as a run that failed
     ok = state == "COMPLETED"
+    # A terminal failure ran and cost money, so it must not reach the driver as
+    # `exit_code: None` -- that value means "never ran" and is recorded as
+    # skipped. Only `_failed` above, where the job never reached the platform,
+    # is that case.
+    terminal = state in ("COMPLETED", "ERROR", "CANCELED", "FAILED")
     return {
         "ok": ok,
-        # HF reports a *state*, not an exit code. `0` on COMPLETED and `1`
-        # otherwise would be inventing a number nobody measured, so the state is
-        # what is reported and `exit_code` stays None -- which the driver already

-        "exit_code": 0 if ok else None,
+        # HF reports a *state*, not an exit code. `job_state` below carries the

Update tests/test_candidate_jobs.py::test_an_hf_candidate_reports_a_state_not_an_invented_exit_code to assert on job_state and on the candidate not being skipped.

Cancel a candidate before returning on queue timeout.

_wait returns after timeout_s + queue_grace, but this branch leaves the kernel queued. The kernel can start later because the configured kernel timeout bounds execution, not queue time. The campaign then stops tracking its actual accelerator hours while later candidates can still be submitted.

Attempt to delete or cancel ref before returning this failure. Record a cleanup failure so quota reconciliation can identify a candidate that may still execute.

Preserve the complete normal rectangle before setting maximized.

track_window sends moved and resized through separate remember calls. If both arrive before maximized, the second call replaces _previous with a partially maximized rectangle. Lines 810-813 then persist a mixed rectangle, such as maximized coordinates with the old size.

Retain one complete pre-maximize rectangle across the event burst. Add a regression test that invokes moved, resized, and maximized in that order.

…venv had and PATH did not, and an SSH host that could inherit another box's credential

Review fixes. Three are real bugs; the rest are the review's smaller points on
the projects/setup work.

**A wake fired on "unknown".** `core/wakeups.py:_check_run` short-circuited on
`status and status != "in_flight"`, which treats everything unrecognised as
finished -- including `"unknown"`, which is what `Run.status` returns for a fold
with no status in it. `ledger_store.runs()` builds a node from any event carrying
an id, and `jsonl.iter_records` *skips* a malformed line rather than raising, so
a torn `run_submitted` followed by an intact `run_handle` produces exactly that
record. The wake then fired at once, reported that the run had stopped, and spent
a metered turn on a claim nothing had checked. It is an explicit terminal set
now, and anything else falls through to the backend -- which is the only thing
that actually knows.

**`repowiki` was installed and reported missing.** `shutil.which` searches PATH,
and a virtualenv's `Scripts` directory is on PATH only while the environment is
*activated*. The desktop shortcut points straight at `.venv\Scripts\pythonw.exe`,
so the interpreter is the venv's and PATH is the machine's: `repowiki.exe` sat in
`.venv\Scripts`, `which` returned None, and `tools/wiki.py` said "repowiki is not
installed" with a `pip install -e '.[wiki]'` that had already been run.

The same call in `tools/kaggle.py` failed the other way and worse -- it *found* a
`kaggle`, in the user-site Python rather than the venv, so this project's pinned
CLI was installed and a different installation's was what ran, silently, against
an API whose contract that module encodes. Both now go through
`core/spawn.py:console_script`, which looks beside `sys.executable` first and
keeps PATH as the fallback.

**An overlay host could inherit the config host's credential.** `Config.hosts`
merged the two halves of the inventory with `_merge`, which recurses -- so
replacing `gpu-box` through the setup window and omitting `key_credential` left
the *old* box's keyring entry, user and workdir attached to the new hostname. A
connection nobody described, through the one field in that table where being
wrong reaches a machine. Whole entries now replace by name.

Also from the review, smaller:

* `settings.add_host` refuses a non-finite rate, which `core/config.py` already
  did on the TOML side -- a check in one of two entry points is a check with a
  way around it.
* `budget configure --project other` reported the *current* project's resolved
  models beside another project's overrides. Both halves are about the named
  project now, and it says which.
* `setup show` reported the layer wrongly for two of the five: a role set by the
  selected project read as "config", one from a legacy `[agent] model` key read
  as "default". The whole point of `show` is that the resolution can be
  inspected, so nearly-right is worse here than most places.
* SET on an empty model field silently *cleared* the override, because
  `configure_project` reads an empty model for a named role as `--clear`. It
  refuses and says so; ✕ is still how you drop one deliberately.
* The setup window dispatches on a step id and a backend name without a fallback
  -- a fifth step or a fourth backend raised a KeyError out of the one window
  whose job is to work when nothing else does, or handed an unknown backend an
  SSH host editor.
* `_spend_line` held a third copy of the three ceilings and their formatters; it
  reads `CEILINGS` now.
* `configure_project` used `len(argv) == 4` as its "nothing to change" sentinel,
  correct only while the prefix stayed four words long.
* `_updates` and `_credentials` were left behind in `ui/shell.py`, defined and
  unreachable, after both panels moved to the setup window.
* `test_ui_argv` now covers the create form's ceilings and payer, and all four
  shapes of `budget configure` -- the file exists so a dead button fails here
  rather than in a status bar.

Skipped, with reasons in the reply: the findings in `tools/evolve.py`,
`tools/gpu.py`, `tools/jobs.py`, `tools/kaggle.py`'s timeout path,
`ui/desktop.py`, `ui/splash.py`, `tools/wakeup.py` and `ui/app.py`'s token
comparison are all in code this branch never touched, and several are behaviour
changes to the submit path that want their own commit and their own evidence.

✅ 1 resolved
Edge Case: run wake fires early on non-"in_flight" ledger status

📄 core/wakeups.py:403-406 📄 tools/wakeup.py:191-198
In core/wakeups.py:_check_run, a run wake is treated as fired whenever record.status and record.status != "in_flight". Run.status defaults to "unknown" (core/ledger_store.py:177) and the vocabulary is dynamic, so a run recorded with any non-terminal status other than the literal "in_flight" (e.g. a missing/unknown status, or a backend-specific queued/submitted) would be reported as "stopped running" and wake the agent prematurely — spending a metered turn to learn nothing. arm only guards against record.collected, not against these states. Consider gating the ledger-based short-circuit on an explicit terminal-status set rather than "anything != in_flight", and falling through to the backend poll otherwise.
