Swaps the rendering layer only. Chat store logic, keyboard handling, and the
/chat-run Socket.IO contract are untouched, so a mixed UI cannot hide a chat
regression behind a library swap.
Arco's dropdowns take their items from a #content slot of a-doption children
rather than a droplist prop, and Arco Triggers cannot be nested, so the two
toolbar menus lost their a-tooltip in favour of a native title. Both rules are
recorded in docs/arco-mapping.md, and tests/e2e/chat-input-dropdown.spec.ts plus
tests/e2e/chat-rendering-smoke.spec.ts keep the menus, the streaming markdown
rendering, and the no-Arco-inside-the-bubble red line from regressing silently.
Import the client, server, skills, tests, and build scripts as the starting
point for the rebuild, then trim the surfaces this project does not ship:
Electron desktop packaging, the marketing website, and the ESP32 firmware
tree. CI keeps the web build, e2e, lockfile, release, and Docker workflows.
Rename the package and CLI entry points to hermes-ui, drop the prepare hook so
npm ci no longer triggers a build, and drop the removed tsconfig and nodemon
references. Rewrite AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, DEVELOPMENT.md, and the READMEs
so the documented package map and hard rules match this repository.
reference_code/ is ignored: it is a read-only snapshot, not an input to the build.
