New white/green UI: batch-status perf, tab-scoped workflow buttons, auto-refresh, reshot README screenshots - #25

engine.status() (and the UI's /api/state on launch) fetched every record with two sequential adapter round-trips (get_record + get_head). On a remote store that is R*2 network round-trips; ~50 records at ~80ms RTT stalls the UI ~20s. Add optional batch get_records/get_heads to the adapter Protocol, implement them for Mongo and Postgres (one query per collection), and route status() through a feature-detected batch path with a per-record fallback so any adapter still works. Measured on the demo DB: 249 -> 28 DB round-trips for 50 records (identical StatusRow output, verified against the per-record path).
The Compare/New branch/Commit draft/Prepare PR/Merge PR buttons sat in the global top bar on every tab. Now branch buttons show only on the Branches screen and PR buttons only on the Pull requests screen; clicking one first navigates to that tab's workspace, then opens the action. Records/Activity stay uncluttered.
… controls - Light mode is now GitHub-white (#fff canvas, #f6f8fa chrome) instead of the paper/cream palette; dark diff surface goes neutral-dark to match the app. - Drop the blue accent everywhere: bookmark/brand/avatar/tab-underline/focus/ selection cues go neutral (ink). A single restrained GitHub green stays for primary actions (Create/Adopt/Commit 'go' buttons) and semantic commit/branch dots. - Unify top-bar control sizing: ENV/BRANCH selects, Refresh, and the theme toggle all share one 32px height + 6px radius and center on a single row.
Replace the three README screenshots (diff, whole-system impact, scoped impact) with captures of the redesigned white/green UI. The impact shots use real Gemini narration on the synthetic support fixture. Enable the demo's LLM narration out of the box: set [connections].ai_provider to gemini and opt the refund_resolution change + its scoped policy/eval/rollout records into share_with_ai (demo data is synthetic and safe).
The UI only fetched state on load and manual Refresh, so drift/branches/PRs created out-of-band (in a terminal or another tab) didn't appear until you reloaded. Add softRefresh() — reload state but keep the current tab/record — and drive it from window focus, visibilitychange, and a 15s interval. Skips while a modal is open or a diff/impact panel is on screen so it never wipes an in-progress read or an LLM narration result.
Capture the new white/green UI's Branches workspace (default + draft branches, one with an open PR) and an open cfgit pull request reviewing a policy-rule change with a line-aligned diff. Reference both in the README hero block.
CI installs the mcp extra unpinned (mcp>=1.0). mcp 2.0.0 (released after main
last passed) removed mcp.server.fastmcp, which cfg/mcp/server.py imports, so all
5 MCP tests hard-failed at collection. Cap the extra at mcp>=1.0,<2 until the
server is ported to the 2.x API, and switch the test guard to
importorskip('mcp.server.fastmcp') so a future relocation skips instead of fails.

Rebased the
new ui to match gitwork onto currentmain(v0.4.1) and extended it with a UI redesign, a launch-perf fix, workflow-tab fixes, auto-refresh, and fresh README screenshots.What's in here
perf(status): batch live+head reads — kills the UI launch stall
engine.status()(and the UI's/api/stateon launch) did 2 sequential DB round-trips per record — a per-record N+1. On a remote store, ~50 records × 2 × RTT stalled the UI ~20s. Added optional batchget_records/get_headsto the adapter Protocol (Mongo + Postgres), routedstatus()through a feature-detected batch path with a per-record fallback. Measured on the demo DB: 249 → 28 DB round-trips for 50 records, identicalStatusRowoutput.fix(ui): scope branch/PR workflow buttons to their tabs
Compare / New branch / Commit draft now show only on the Branches screen; Prepare PR / Merge PR only on Pull requests. Clicking one navigates to that tab's workspace first, then opens the action. Records/Activity stay uncluttered.
style(ui): true-white light theme, green-only accent, aligned controls
Light mode is now GitHub-white (was paper/cream); dark diff surface goes neutral-dark. Dropped the blue accent everywhere (bookmark/brand/avatar/tab-underline/focus/selection go neutral ink); a single restrained GitHub green stays for primary actions and semantic commit/branch dots. Unified top-bar control sizing (ENV/BRANCH selects, Refresh, theme toggle all 32px / 6px radius).
feat(ui): auto-refresh on focus, tab-visible, and a 15s poll
The UI only fetched on load/manual Refresh, so out-of-band drift/branches/PRs didn't appear without a reload. Added
softRefresh()driven by window focus,visibilitychange, and a 15s interval — skipping while a modal or impact/LLM panel is open so it never interrupts a read.docs: reshoot README screenshots on the new UI
Replaced the 3 hero images (diff, whole-system impact, scoped impact) with white-UI captures using real Gemini narration on the synthetic support fixture, and added 2 new views (Branches, an open pull request). The demo's
[connections]now enables--llmnarration out of the box (synthetic data only).Verification
No secrets are committed (the Gemini key used for narration lived only in the server's runtime env).
