Studio 2: four modes instead of seven tabs

  • One header row: the project menu (New app..., Open bundle...), a mode
    switch -- Design, Simulate, Code, Deploy -- with a view
    switch where a mode has more than one view (Design: Designer and AI
    Design), and a device chip whose popover holds the panel address,
    port, Connect and Disconnect. A status bar under the window reads the
    link, the open app and the display.
  • Design: one toolbar with a File menu; Layers / Widgets / Pages on the
    left; Design / Data / Actions on the right, with Size on screen
    (Compact / Normal / Large) for the selected widget; an AI composer
    over the canvas replaces Design Chat -- add / set / bind / remove still
    run offline, anything else goes to AI Design with the current design as
    context and lands back on the canvas.
  • Simulate: Tag Lab beside the panel, with a drawer for its command
    log and the panel's journal (formerly Panel Logs).
  • Deploy: Display Console and System Profile in one view -- the release
    card (Deploy, Live preview, Mirror, Restart GUI, Rollback), the four
    deploy steps (Validate, Package, Transfer, Activate) moving with the
    progress bar, a readiness checklist, installed releases, the device and
    its health. Health is only measured while a panel is connected.
  • Code: restyled to match; Outline and Backend unchanged.

AI Design: the model plans, a compiler lays out

  • The model no longer writes geometry. It returns a title, header items and
    titled sections with roles; designer/layout/compiler.py lays them out
    deterministically (header, region search with a cost model, per-kind
    bands, theme tokens) and shrinks widgets below their design size when a
    screen is crowded. Runner-up layouts wait in the variant strip.
    ai/layoutEngine=polish restores the old path. See
    docs/AI_LAYOUT_COMPILER.md.
  • designer/layout/intake.py repairs the JSON a model actually emits
    (duplicate keys, trailing text) and maps property names, icons and
    invented widget types onto the kit.
  • Per-widget size wishes -- from the plan or from Size on screen -- and
    Tidy up on a compiled page compiles it again.
  • A finished turn is no longer shown as "Cancelled" when the panel
    preview's nested event loop delivers the worker's finished signal.

Designer

  • Object snap: dragging snaps to sibling and parent edges (toggle in the
    canvas bar, Ctrl bypasses).
  • Align, match size and distribute act only on selected free siblings,
    never across parents or inside a positioner.

Kit (hmi-ui and the QML kit alike)

  • ShClusterGauge fits its caption between the scale numbers and keeps the
    step's decimals; ShGearIndicator scales a row wider than its box;
    ShAutoReadout gives a wide value the icon's slot before shrinking;
    ShEngineBar holds its label to the bar; ShTrendChart draws its warning
    band and axis labels; ShValueTile reads title on the panel.

CI

  • The Qt SVG image plugin comes from libqt6svg6 on Ubuntu 24.04, where
    qt6-svg-plugins no longer exists.

The panel, for an operator (CONTRACT section 13; everything is additive --
designs and bundles that use none of it are unchanged)

  • Actions: a signal can run a list of actions; new kinds toggle,
    increment / decrement (step, min, max), back (page history), ack
    (one alarm or *) and shelve; any list can ask Cancel / OK first.
  • Bindings: an expression instead of a tag (eng1.egt > eng2.egt ? "ENG 1" : "ENG 2", round(fuel.l + fuel.r, 1), ...), fixed decimals, and rules that
    set another property from the reading (a title turns "HOT" above 80). The
    Designer checks expressions as you type.
  • Alarms: priorities 1-4, latching until acknowledged, on-delay, deadband,
    custom message, shelving; a journal on the panel
    (/var/lib/hmi/alarm-journal.jsonl) and an alarm table history mode.
  • History: hmi-hwd keeps a SQLite history of the tags hwd.json lists;
    trend charts fill from it when a page opens; per-tag quality (bad) in every
    frame; python -m tools.hmi_deployer.history_export pulls a CSV over SSH.
  • Operator input: a numeric keypad (range-checked) for numeric inputs, an
    on-screen keyboard for text inputs, a "No connection to controller" banner,
    and screen dim / off after inactivity (Designer: Screen idle).

Fixes

  • The panel never showed a bound Value Tile / Status Dot / Data Field /
    Annunciator value -- only a state colour, even without thresholds.
  • Numeric inputs on the panel showed "Text" where their unit belongs.
  • The offline tag simulator no longer fights a local daemon or tagsim for the
    Live Preview's values.
