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.
- Vendor ArkScope decorative layers (ScrambleTitle / IsometricWave) with provenance notes; decorative-only per AGENTS.md red lines
- Migrate theme tokens to Arco, register the Arco theme, and add hook adapter composables (useMessage / useDialog / useNotification) with matching signatures
- Sample pages: LoginView and AppSidebar on the new baseline; docs/arco-mapping.md and docs/ui-baseline.md land
- agent-bridge: prefer the PM-selected venv from facts.json over legacy in-tree venvs (legacy lacks the mcp extra, so every MCP server showed 0 tools / not connected)
- agent-bridge python (vendored, deliberate deviation): MCP discovery import fallback and pyyaml -> hermes_yaml so plugins and MCP work under the PM env; install the mcp extra via `hermes pm install --extra mcp`
- Chat-chain fragment: docs/chat-chain-changes/2026-10-17-phase005-arkscope-baseline.md
Verified: harness:check, test (2020 passed), test:e2e (30 passed), build all green; manual: plugins 100/0 warnings, MCP 6/6 servers connected with 104 tools.
