Release 4.187.0

The bar the owner chose. 2026-11-10, in the Arena: "here's the new menu button and the logo … these two, but improve upon and expand on it. And let's move the user … so that it's to the right of this. And instead of having messaging and notifications, just have the notifications."

• The menu button is "Search and apps" (the Arena's M57): the menu itself, small: a search bar over three apps. Under the pointer its parts lift in turn; while the menu loads the apps breathe; open, the bar turns into one stroke of the close mark and the three apps line up as the other. One drawing (OpenVibeOrb.svg(), navbar.js) for the bar, the menu's sheet and the Dock's sheet, where three copies of nine dots were.
• The mark has the wide gap (the Arena's P07): the ground around the V where it crosses the O is 14, was 7, in ov-mark.js, mark.js, the app icons and the loader's tab icon alike (test/mark.test.js).
• The person is last in the bar: balances, the bell, the menu button, then the picture (or Sign In).
• Messages is the bell. The Messages button leaves the bar; the count of new messages (Chat's, or a site's own through setMessages(count)) is added to the bell's number and named in its label ("Notifications, 1 unread, 2 new messages"). With new messages and nothing else new, the bell opens the Dock on Chats; otherwise on Activity.
• One menu. The owner: "make sure these two share the same universal system … it just opens the actual first tab … same UI." The mark opens the OpenVibe menu on its first tab; site-switcher.js, its panel, its own icons and its "here" label are deleted. OpenVibeNavbar.openSwitcher() opens the menu.
• All apps is a small button beside Edit in the menu's You tab ("All 65"), where a bar the width of the sheet was under the grid.
• An agent's turn shows it is thinking: in the conversation kit (thread.css), the agent's avatar shows three rising dots while its turn is open.

Removed: site-switcher.js (and its export), the Messages button and its messages: { href, onOpen, label } behaviours (the Dock's Chats tab is where messages open; messages: false still turns the count off).
