Slice 13: repo search + filtering (+ no-cache dev assets)

<repo-list> gains a search box (name/path) and Dirty/Ahead-behind filter chips with an N-of-M count; filtering is client-side and the state persists in localStorage (gitmanager.repolist.filters, §4). Refresh/selection re-apply filters. cmd/server sends Cache-Control: no-cache for /components and /static so hot-reloaded asset edits show on reload. Server-verified (curl); live click-through pending an unresponsive browser pane.

+## 2026-09-20 — Slice 3: activity feed + active project (§8.2)
+- **What:** Added `internal/activity` (thread-safe active project + bounded event
+  feed with subscriber fan-out, mirrored to logs, no datastore). Service gained
+  `ActiveProject`/`SetActiveProject`/`RecordActivity`/`Activity`/`SubscribeActivity`
+  (and `service.New` now takes the feed). New MCP tools `get_active_project`,
+  `set_active_project`, `get_activity` (object-wrapped outputs). New HTTP:
+  `GET/POST /api/active-project`, `GET /api/activity`, and `GET /events` (SSE).
+  New `<activity-feed>` component (live via EventSource); `<repo-list>` now sets
+  the active project on selection (a user action). Extended the MCP test to cover
+  the new tools; help page documents the feature.
+- **Why:** The coordination foundation for the graceful project handoff (§8.3):
+  the app and Claude share one active-project + activity view. User actions are
+  recorded as `actor:user`, Claude's as `actor:claude`, so each side can see what
+  the other did.
+- **Affects:** `internal/activity` (new), `internal/service`, `internal/mcp`
+  (+test), `cmd/server/main.go`, `components/activity-feed` (new),
+  `components/repo-list`, `web/templates/{index,help}.html`.
+
+## 2026-09-20 — Slice 4: graceful project handoff (§8.3)
+- **What:** `internal/activity` gained a pending-switch model
+  (`RequestSwitch`/`PendingSwitch`/`AckSwitch`/`CancelSwitch`); `AckSwitch`
+  atomically sets the active project to the requested target and records a
+  `switch-completed` event with Claude's summary. Service methods added. New MCP
+  tools `get_pending_switch` and `ack_switch` (request is user-only — no MCP tool
+  raises it). HTTP: `GET/POST/DELETE /api/switch`. New `<handoff-bar>` component:
+  "Ask Claude to switch to <active>", the "waiting for a good stopping point"
+  state with Cancel, and the completion notice; `<activity-feed>` also updates the
+  active project on `switch-completed`. Extended the MCP test to cover the full
+  request→ack→clear flow. Help page + AGENT.md §8.3 updated.
+- **Why:** The headline feature — the user asks Claude to switch projects; Claude
+  finishes to a safe stopping point, then `ack_switch` completes it and the app
+  notifies the user over SSE. The switch is Claude-completed at a checkpoint,
+  never app-forced (§1.4-class rule).
+- **Affects:** `internal/activity`, `internal/service`, `internal/mcp` (+test),
+  `cmd/server/main.go`, `components/handoff-bar` (new), `components/activity-feed`,
+  `web/templates/{index,help}.html`, `AGENT.md` (§8.3).
+- **Verified live:** request → "waiting" → cancel, all over SSE with activity
+  logging. The ack/completion path is covered by the test; its live ✅ notice
+  needs the two new MCP tools, which appear after the next Claude Desktop restart.
+
+## 2026-09-20 — Slice 5: Gitea forge — PRs + "Merge & clean up" (§8.4)
+- **What:** New `internal/forge` — provider-abstracted forge boundary with a Gitea
+  impl (`code.gitea.io/sdk/gitea`), a remote-URL parser (`ParseRemote`, tested),
+  and read+write ops: `ListPullRequests` and `MergeAndCleanup` (squash-merge +
+  delete the head branch, only when head/base share a repo). Service resolves a
+  repo → owner/repo via its remotes (prefers origin) and records a `pr-merged`
+  activity event. New config `GITEA_URL` + `GITEA_TOKEN` (forge is nil/disabled
+  without both). New MCP tools `list_prs` and `merge_and_cleanup_pr` (the merge
+  tool's description tells Claude to confirm first, §1.4). HTTP
+  `GET /api/repo/prs`, `POST /api/repo/pr/merge`. New `<pr-list>` component with a
+  confirming "Merge & clean up" button; hidden when no forge is configured.
+- **Why:** The feature Thomas asked for — make PRs usable by merging and removing
+  the branch in one tidy step, from the app or via Claude.
+- **Affects:** `internal/forge` (new, +test), `internal/config`,
+  `internal/service`, `internal/mcp`, `cmd/server/main.go`,
+  `components/pr-list` (new), `web/templates/{index,help}.html`, `.env.example`,
+  `go.mod`.
+- **Not yet live-tested:** needs `GITEA_URL`+`GITEA_TOKEN` set and a real PR;
+  build/vet/tests pass and the parser is unit-tested. A real merge is irreversible
+  — will only run one against a PR Thomas designates, with confirmation.
+
+## 2026-09-20 — Forge live-tested (Merge & clean up)
+- **What:** With `GITEA_URL`+`GITEA_TOKEN` set, verified end-to-end against
+  git.nilles.net: created an isolated throwaway PR via the Gitea API (on a
+  dedicated base branch so `main` was untouched), listed it through `GET
+  /api/repo/prs`, then ran `POST /api/repo/pr/merge` → `{merged:true,
+  branchDeleted:true}`; confirmed the branch was gone (404), the PR list emptied,
+  and the feed logged `pr-merged`. Cleaned up the base branch afterward.
+- **Why:** Prove the write path with real auth before relying on it.
+- **Affects:** none (runtime verification only; no code change).
+
+## 2026-09-20 — Slice 6: right-click command menu + git write actions (§6)
+- **What:** git boundary gained `Pull`/`Push`/`Commit`/`DiscardAll` (the last is
+  §1.4-destructive). Scanner got `RefreshRepo` (single-repo re-scan). Service
+  gained `GitFetch/GitPull/GitPush/GitCommit/GitDiscard` — each records a `git-*`
+  activity event (ok/failed) and refreshes the repo after success; `service.New`
+  takes a refresh hook. New HTTP `POST /api/repo/git {path, op, message?}`. New
+  `<repo-menu>` overlay (plain-language commands: Get latest, Publish, Check for
+  updates, Save my work…, Set as active project, Ask Claude to switch here, Copy
+  path, and the confirmed Discard all changes…); `<repo-list>` emits
+  `repo:contextmenu` on right-click. Added `internal/service` test covering
+  commit/discard on a temp repo.
+- **Why:** The GUI-first reason the app exists (§0) — run git in plain language
+  without a terminal. Logic lives in the shared service (§1.7) so the same ops can
+  be exposed to Claude via MCP next.
+- **Affects:** `internal/git`, `internal/repos`, `internal/service` (+test),
+  `cmd/server/main.go`, `components/repo-menu` (new), `components/repo-list`,
+  `web/templates/{index,help}.html`.
+- **Next:** expose these git ops as MCP tools so Claude can run them too.
+
+## 2026-09-20 — Slice 7: git commands as MCP tools (§1.7 symmetry)
+- **What:** Added MCP tools `git_fetch`, `git_pull`, `git_push`, `git_commit`,
+  and `git_discard_changes` — thin adapters over the existing service methods
+  (actor=claude), so Claude can run the same commands as the right-click menu.
+  `git_discard_changes`'s description flags it destructive and tells Claude to
+  confirm first (§1.4). Extended the MCP test with a `git_commit` round-trip.
+  Synced AGENT.md §8.1's tool list to the actual names.
+- **Why:** Complete the §1.7 symmetry — every capability reachable from both the
+  GUI and Claude.
+- **Affects:** `internal/mcp` (+test), `AGENT.md` (§8.1).
+- **Note:** the new tools appear in Claude Desktop only after its next restart
+  (tool list cached per connection); network ops still need container git creds.
+
+## 2026-09-20 — Slice 8: git credentials + identity in the container (§11)
+- **What:** On startup the app configures the container's git (`git config
+  --global`): a commit identity (`GIT_USER_NAME`/`GIT_USER_EMAIL`),
+  `safe.directory=*` for host-owned mounts, and — when `GITEA_URL`+`GITEA_TOKEN`
+  are set — `http.<url>.extraheader: Authorization: token …` so push/fetch/pull
+  authenticate over HTTPS with no SSH key. New `git.CLI.SetGlobalConfig`; new
+  config `GIT_USER_NAME`/`GIT_USER_EMAIL`; `.env.example` documents them.
+- **Why:** Make the network git commands (menu + MCP) actually work from Docker,
+  and let commits have an author.
+- **Affects:** `internal/config`, `internal/git`, `cmd/server/main.go`,
+  `.env.example`, `AGENT.md` (§11).
+- **Verified:** startup logs "git remote auth configured"; container git identity
+  set; `http.extraheader` present; `git_fetch` via the app returned ok.
+- **Security note:** the token is written to the container's ephemeral gitconfig
+  and passed in a `git config` argv — acceptable for a localhost dev container.
+
+## 2026-09-20 — Slice 9: git_checkout + create_branch
+- **What:** git boundary `Checkout` (switch existing branch) and `CreateBranch`
+  (git checkout -b). Service `GitCheckout`/`GitCreateBranch` (feed detail names
+  the branch; `gitAction` now takes an ok-detail). HTTP `/api/repo/git` gained
+  ops `checkout` and `create-branch` (+`branch` field). MCP tools `git_checkout`
+  and `create_branch`. `<repo-menu>` gained "Switch branch…" and "New branch…"
+  (prompt for the name). Service test covers create+switch+existing-branch-fails.
+- **Why:** Round out the everyday git commands in both front doors (§1.7).
+- **Affects:** `internal/git`, `internal/service` (+test), `internal/mcp`,
+  `cmd/server/main.go`, `components/repo-menu`, `web/templates/help.html`,
+  `AGENT.md` (§8.1). Checkout isn't §1.4-destructive — git refuses if it would
+  overwrite uncommitted changes.
+
+## 2026-09-20 — Slice 10: create_pr
+- **What:** forge `CreatePullRequest` (Gitea; empty base → repo default branch,
+  via GetRepo). Service `CreatePR` (records `pr-created`). HTTP
+  `POST /api/repo/pr/create`. MCP tool `create_pr`. `<pr-list>` gained a
+  "New pull request…" button (head = selected repo's current branch, base =
+  default). AGENT.md §8.1 lists `create_pr` in Act.
+- **Why:** Open PRs from the app or Claude — the front half of the PR workflow
+  whose back half is "Merge & clean up".
+- **Affects:** `internal/forge`, `internal/service`, `internal/mcp`,
+  `cmd/server/main.go`, `components/pr-list`, `web/templates/help.html`,
+  `AGENT.md`.
+- **Note:** the head branch must already exist on the remote (push first).
+
+## 2026-09-20 — Slice 11: branch-picker submenu
+- **What:** `<repo-menu>` "Switch branch" is now a flyout submenu populated from
+  `GET /api/repo` (the repo's branches; current one disabled), flipping leftward
+  near the viewport edge; clicking a branch checks it out. "New branch…" still
+  prompts. No backend change.
+- **Affects:** `components/repo-menu`, `web/templates/help.html`.
+
+## 2026-09-20 — Slice 12: inline command-result toasts
+- **What:** New `<toast-host>` overlay — components post `toast` CustomEvents
+  (`{message, kind}`; success/error/info) and it shows brief, auto-dismissing,
+  bottom-right toasts. `<repo-menu>` (git ops + coordination actions) and
+  `<pr-list>` (create/merge) now post success/error toasts with friendly labels
+  instead of `alert()`. Activity feed still logs everything.
+- **Why:** Immediate, legible feedback for the non-expert audience (§6 polish).
+- **Affects:** `components/toast-host` (new), `components/repo-menu`,
+  `components/pr-list`, `web/templates/index.html`.
+
+## 2026-09-20 — Slice 13: repo search + filtering
+- **What:** `<repo-list>` gained a search box (name/path, case-insensitive) and
+  "Dirty" / "Ahead/behind" filter chips with a "N of M" count. Filtering is
+  client-side over the fetched list; state persists per-viewer in
+  `localStorage["gitmanager.repolist.filters"]` (§4). Refresh/selection re-apply
+  the active filters.
+- **Why:** Keep the dashboard usable as the number of repos grows.
+- **Affects:** `components/repo-list`, `web/templates/help.html`.
+- **Dev-server tweak:** `cmd/server` now sends `Cache-Control: no-cache` for
+  `/components` and `/static` so browsers revalidate assets on reload (cached ES
+  modules were defeating hot reload). Server serves the new component (curl-
+  verified); live click-through pending (browser pane was unresponsive).

+# activity-feed
+
+## Intent
+Shows the **active project** and a **live feed** of what happened — both user and
+Claude actions. It makes the coordination state visible (AGENT.md §8.2): the same
+active project and events Claude reads over MCP (`get_active_project`,
+`get_activity`), so the user can watch the two stay in sync. Groundwork for the
+graceful project handoff (§8.3).
+
+## Public surface
+- **Tag:** `<activity-feed>`
+- **Attributes/properties:** none.
+- **Fetches (initial):** `GET /api/active-project`, `GET /api/activity`.
+- **Subscribes:** `EventSource('/events')` — SSE stream; listens for `activity`
+  events (auto-reconnects if the stream drops). Closed on disconnect.
+- **Renders:** active project (basename, full path on hover) + newest-first list
+  of events, each with an actor badge (user/claude/system), a humanized kind,
+  the repo, optional detail, and a timestamp.
+
+## History
+- 2026-09-20: created — slice 3; live active-project + activity view over SSE.
+- 2026-09-20: also update the active-project display on `switch-completed` events
+  (slice 4 handoff), not only `active-project-changed`.
+
+## Notes / gotchas
+- All server-derived text is escaped before insertion (repo paths, details,
+  kinds) — treat as untrusted (§1.1).
+- Uses shared design tokens for colors/radii — no hardcoded hex.
+- The feed is capped client-side at 200 events to mirror the server ring buffer;
+  it does not paginate history.

+# pr-list
+
+## Intent
+Shows the open pull requests for the selected repository and provides the
+**"Merge & clean up"** action (AGENT.md §8.4) — the feature that makes PRs usable
+for someone who otherwise finds them clutter: squash-merge and delete the branch
+in one click. The merge is DESTRUCTIVE (§1.4), so the button confirms first,
+naming the PR, base, and branch to be deleted.
+
+## Public surface
+- **Tag:** `<pr-list>`
+- **Attributes/properties:** none. Hides itself (`hidden`) when no forge is
+  configured or the repo isn't on the forge host.
+- **Listens:** `repo:select` on `document` — loads PRs for `event.detail.path`.
+- **Fetches:** `GET /api/repo/prs?path=…` (`{supported:false}` → hidden).
+- **Writes:** `POST /api/repo/pr/merge {path, number}` after a `confirm()`;
+  `POST /api/repo/pr/create {path, head, base, title}` via the "New pull request…"
+  button (head = the selected repo's current branch, base = the repo default).
+
+## History
+- 2026-09-20: created — slice 5 (forge); list open PRs + "Merge & clean up".
+- 2026-09-20: added "New pull request…" (create_pr) — opens a PR from the
+  selected repo's current branch into the default branch (slice 10).
+
+## Notes / gotchas
+- Requires `GITEA_URL` + `GITEA_TOKEN` on the server; otherwise the component
+  stays hidden (graceful degradation).
+- Fork PRs are labelled; their branch lives in the fork, so cleanup only deletes
+  branches in the same repo (the server enforces this too).
+- All server-derived text is escaped; the PR link opens in a new tab.

+# repo-menu
+
+## Intent
+The right-click command menu (AGENT.md §6) — the app's reason for being: run git
+in **plain language** ("Get latest", "Publish", "Save my work…") without a
+terminal. A self-contained overlay control (§1.1) that any list can summon via an
+event. Safe commands run on click; the destructive one confirms first (§1.4).
+
+## Public surface
+- **Tag:** `<repo-menu>` (place once, near the end of the page).
+- **Listens:** `repo:contextmenu` on `document` — `detail: { repo, x, y }`
+  (dispatched by `<repo-list>` on right-click). Shows the menu at (x, y).
+- **Commands → endpoints:**
+  - Get latest / Publish / Check for updates / Save my work… / New branch… /
+    Discard all changes… → `POST /api/repo/git {path, op, message?, branch?}`
+    (op: pull/push/fetch/commit/create-branch/checkout/discard). "Save my work…"
+    prompts for a message; "New branch…" prompts for a name; "Discard all
+    changes…" confirms (destructive).
+  - **Switch branch ▸** — a flyout submenu populated from `GET /api/repo?path=`
+    (the repo's branches; current one disabled). Clicking a branch → checkout.
+  - Set as active project → `POST /api/active-project`.
+  - Ask Claude to switch here → `POST /api/switch` (the handoff request).
+  - Copy path → clipboard.
+- Dismisses on outside click, Esc, or scroll.
+
+## History
+- 2026-09-20: created — slice 6; plain-language git commands + coordination
+  actions, backed by the shared service layer (same ops Claude gets via MCP).
+- 2026-09-20: added "Switch branch…" (checkout) and "New branch…" (create-branch),
+  both prompting for the branch name (slice 9).
+- 2026-09-20: "Switch branch" is now a flyout submenu listing the repo's branches
+  (fetched from /api/repo), not a text prompt (slice 11). "New branch…" still prompts.
+
+## Notes / gotchas
+- Results aren't shown inline; they appear in `<activity-feed>` (each op records a
+  `git-*` event with ok/failed), and errors raise a browser alert.
+- Network ops (pull/push/fetch) need git credentials reachable from the server;
+  inside Docker that means a mounted SSH agent / credential helper (§11) — until
+  then they'll report an auth error. commit/discard are local and always work.

+# toast-host
+
+## Intent
+A singleton overlay for brief command-result feedback (AGENT.md §6 polish). It
+gives immediate, legible confirmation of what a UI action did — "Published",
+"Merged & cleaned up PR #3", or an error — instead of only the activity feed or a
+browser `alert()`. Any component can post to it without a reference to it.
+
+## Public surface
+- **Tag:** `<toast-host>` (place once, near the end of the page).
+- **Listens:** `toast` on `document` — `detail: { message, kind?, timeout? }`,
+  where `kind` ∈ `success | error | info` (default `info`).
+- **Behavior:** toasts stack bottom-right, animate in, auto-dismiss (errors last
+  longer — 6s vs 3.5s), and dismiss on click. Renders nothing until posted to.
+
+## History
+- 2026-09-20: created — slice 12; inline toasts for menu/PR command results.
+
+## Notes / gotchas
+- Posters build the `CustomEvent` themselves (components are standalone, no shared
+  module); keep the detail shape in sync with this contract.
+- Messages are set via `textContent` (no HTML injection).

+      the one you're currently focused on — shown in the activity panel at the
+      bottom. That panel also lists recent actions by both you and Claude, updating
