Release 4.25.0

The brand bar, from the owner's phone on 2026-10-28.

• A new mark: the open loop (ov-mark.js, app-icon.js): one stroke, an O opened at the top by the V, with the site's dot in the opening. It replaces the ring, comet, white V and orbiting dot.
  • Colour: from the accent towards violet.
  • Motion: it draws itself in, and a short light runs along it.
  • Light themes: the dot follows the text colour, so it shows there.
  • Icons and cards: app icons (icons/), favicons and share cards (social/) are redrawn with it.
  • The owner: "the open vibe logo isn't even that great… new ideas… more modern… better effects".
• The OpenVibe menu's orb, beside the brand (navbar.js). The magnifier on the right is gone (the owner: "the little diamond thing… cool animations… next to the logo").
  • The orb: nine dots as a diamond. Hovered, a ripple runs from the centre; it waves while the menu loads, and it is an × while the menu is open (a second click closes it). Nothing moves at rest.
  • The menu (search.js) drops from the orb under the bar: a panel on a computer, a sheet as tall as its contents on a phone. "On this site" chips carry the place's own icon.
  • Events: search.js sends openvibe-menu events and calls onClose.
• Both balances on phones. The folded pill shows OpenCoins and Vibes at every width (it showed the first one up to 440 px). The bar's padding, gaps, picture and buttons tighten under 400 px; under 350 px the site's word gives way to the mark.
• Vibes beside OpenCoins in the account menu.
  • One request: the navbar asks OpenVibe.Network once, GET /api/coins/me?with=vibes, Network#373. Every site's connect-src allows the Network and none allowed Billing, so Vibes never showed. An older Network falls back to Billing.
  • Labels: each balance names itself.
• The account menu on a phone is a sheet the width of the screen.
  • Tiles: they never leave one alone on a row (five share a row, six make two of three).
  • Anonymous: the pill reads whole.
  • Footer: its buttons share the row evenly.
• On a phone the bar steps away while you read down and comes back on the first scroll up. It never does with a menu open or focus inside it. autoHide: false keeps it.
• Messages beside the bell (messages: { onOpen, href }, setMessages(n) for the unread count), for a site that would otherwise float a bubble over the page (the owner: "this DMs button is like buggy as hell on mobile").
• Routers get paths. onNavigate (the bar, the account menu and the app bar) receives /@name?tab=x, never a full address. On Live, "My channel" (https://openvibe.live/@name) had opened /https://openvibe.live/@name.
