Release 4.23.0

The owner, 2026-10-28, on the phone:

• the launcher and the magnifier "kind of accomplish the same exact thing… combine… a better hierarchy… use this user's history… autocomplete… maybe use tabs";
• the account menu: "a lot of this is just not even really needed… a plus button… better use of icons… compactness… data-driven";
• the balances "look a little weird… polish… use the space".

• One OpenVibe menu (search.js). The magnifier, / or Ctrl+K opens search, every site and every tool together.
  • Before typing, three tabs:
  • *For you*: jump back in from the person's Network history, this site's pages, recent searches, and their sites (or the most used across OpenVibe);
  • *Sites*: every site in the Frame's groups;
  • *Tools*: your tools, the most used tools from the Frame's analytics, and the families.
  • Typing makes one ranked list: go to (name matches; tools you used first), this site's results and pages, your history, the rest of OpenVibe (the sites you use first), tools for it, your searches, then search everywhere and Ask Vibe.
  • Completion: the box completes from your searches, history, the sites and this site's pages; Tab or → takes it.
  • Results carry their site's icon.
  • OpenVibeNavbar.openMenu(tab) opens it on a tab.
  • The drawer's "All sites" opens the Sites tab.
• The launcher button is gone. Its panel, catalog and site lists moved into search.js, which loads on first use, so navbar.js is 15 KB smaller (161 → 146 KB raw, 37.4 → 33.8 KB brotli). Guests' display controls moved to the foot of the phone drawer.
• A compact account menu.
  • Header: + (add an account), the gear and sign out sit beside the name; other accounts are small pills.
  • Your places: a grid of icons, four across, the site's own first, eight shown and the rest under More. The order follows what this person opens: counted on this device only, a place opened twice moves up.
  • Foot: one row for light, dark, auto, text size, motion and themes.
  • Gone from it: Notifications (the bell has them; the row stays where there is no bell), "Recently used" (the menu's Jump back in) and the long list.
  • Items take short for the grid's label.
• Calm balances.
  • The pill: one pill on the bar's own surface; each balance a coloured icon and a plain number, a hairline between them.
  • On phones: the pill shows the first balance up to 440 px, so the site's name always reads whole, with Apple's wider system font too; a tap lists both. Wider screens show both. The pill is compact at every phone width.
  • Computers: one chip per balance in the same style.
  • Room: on phones the bar drops the empty spacer's gap.
• The showcase hero on a phone (the owner on openvibe.quest: "why is there empty space at the top… why is openvibe.quest twice… better visuals… icon usage… reduce wasted space… the same for all the other sites"). Every site built on showcase gets:
  • No repeated name: an eyebrow that is only the site's name ("OpenVibe.Quest") is left out, since the navbar shows it; any other eyebrow stays, and { icon, text } gives it an icon.
  • Less space and text: the hero starts 14 px under the bar (was 36), and the title and lede tighten.
  • Buttons: they sit side by side.
  • Numbers: they go three across, and stats items take an icon.
• The mark's seasonal leaves fall under the menus, not over them.
• docs/kit.md: the OpenVibe menu, the account menu, balances.
• Tests: navbar-launcher covers the Sites tab and "All sites"; search-loading-chrome covers the tabs and the completion; navbar-touch-hover checks the menu's hover-only rows; navbar-phone-fit-chrome checks the bar from 320 to 430 px; navbar-brand covers the new header and grid.
