 ## Harmonia runtime UI (`template-application-ui-harmonia-java` + `template-form-builder-harmonia`)
 
-The runtime UI stack for generated applications: they render as a self-contained **Alpine.js + Harmonia SPA** (client-routed by Pinecone in hash mode, no iframes/`postMessage` hubs), served at `/services/web/<project>/gen/<model>/index.html`, talking to the **reused** generated Java REST controllers over a `fetch` client. The AngularJS IDE is untouched; the application layer now ships this stack only. `template-application-ui-harmonia-java` (registered on `platform-templates` as "Application - UI (Harmonia) - Java") emits the view types (list, manage, setting, master-detail, reports) + built-in **Process Inbox** (`/inbox`) and **Documents** (`/documents`) shell sections + inline process-task surfacing; `template-form-builder-harmonia` ("Harmonia Generator from Form Model", extension `form`) is the runtime form generator. The whole stack — Alpine 3.15.11, Harmonia 2.6.0, Lucide 1.8.0 — is embedded as **webjars** via `components/resources/application-core` (report charts use Harmonia's own native `x-h-chart-*` SVG charts; the `chart.js` webjar was dropped with the AngularJS dashboard shell) (incl. Pinecone Router — `org.webjars.npm:pinecone-router`, served version-less at `/webjars/pinecone-router/dist/router.min.js`; it was vendored until the 7.5.2 webjar existed). Developed on PR [#6078](https://github.com/eclipse-dirigible/dirigible/pull/6078).

-**Component reference:** the full codbex-harmonia directive catalog (all `x-h-*` components incl. the `x-h-select` combobox contract, theming, layout) lives **upstream** — the docs site <https://codbex.com/harmonia/> and the agent-readable skill <https://github.com/codbex/harmonia/blob/main/skills/harmonia/SKILL.md> (formerly mirrored in-repo under `reference/harmonia/`; that copy was removed to avoid drift — always consult the upstream, version-matched to `harmonia.version` in the root `pom.xml`). [`.../reference/alpinejs/`](components/template/template-application-ui-harmonia-java/reference/alpinejs/) still covers the Alpine patterns (routing, page components), mirrored from `codbex-athena-app`, the reference app this stack was adopted from. Read them before changing Harmonia markup.

-**Detailed guides:** [`components/template/template-application-ui-harmonia-java/README.md`](components/template/template-application-ui-harmonia-java/README.md) (the SPA shell, view-type parity checklist, the master-detail detail registry, process-tasks store) and [`components/template/template-form-builder-harmonia/README.md`](components/template/template-form-builder-harmonia/README.md) (the neutral `formController(ctx)` contract). The repo-root [`HARMONIA_RUNTIME_PLAN.md`](HARMONIA_RUNTIME_PLAN.md) is the design doc + implementation status. **Gotchas that already burned someone — read before changing the templates:**
-
-- **REST path must use the Java-sanitised names.** `restBase` is `/services/java/<project>/gen/${javaGenFolderName}/api` and each page's `apiPath` is the **relative** `/${javaPerspectiveName}/<Entity>Controller`; the fetch client prepends `restBase` exactly once. Use `javaGenFolderName`/`javaPerspectiveName` (e.g. `sales-order` → `sales_order`), **not** the raw `genFolderName`/lowercased perspective — the generated backend lives under the sanitised Java package. (Phase 0/1 only passed because `edm` needs no sanitising.)
-- **`{ baseUrl: '' }` means "URL is absolute, prepend nothing".** The fetch client checks `opts.baseUrl !== undefined`, not truthiness — passing `''` with a relative path (or omitting it with an absolute path) is the classic doubled-URL bug (`/api/services/java/.../api/...`). Entity pages use a relative `apiPath` and **no** override; absolute URLs (relationship dropdowns, the detail registry) pass `{ baseUrl: '' }`.
-- **Date/time widgets need conversion both ways.** The form `toPayload()` turns an HTML `date`/`datetime-local` value into a full ISO instant (`…Z`) so a Jackson `java.time.Instant`/`Timestamp` field binds (empty→`null`, a bare `TIME` passes through); `toDateInput()` slices the backend's ISO value back to what the widget expects on edit. Mirrors the AngularJS stack's `new Date(value)`.
-- **Master-detail is registry-driven.** A master page renders one `detailPanel` per `App.detailsFor(<master>)` entry; each detail self-registers via `App.registerDetail(...)` (relative `apiPath`), so masters never enumerate details at generation time. The detail list filters via the controller's `?<masterEntityId>=<id>` query (built into the reused rest-java controller for `*_DETAILS` layouts).
-- **The `.form` runs the existing AngularJS `code` via compat shims, and the page is self-contained.** `template-form-builder-harmonia` runs the `.form` `code` as the body of `formController(ctx)` (`ctx.{model, params, http, task, notify, close}`) and defines `$scope`/`$http`/`NotificationHub`/`DialogHub` shims so intent-generated AngularJS `.form` code runs **unchanged** (no migration needed). The page loads only `form.js` + its own minimal fetch client (no `window.App`), because a BPM task form opens standalone in an iframe where the SPA shell assets are absent — an earlier `../../js/...` reference 404'd and left `App` undefined.
-- **A standalone page must bootstrap `App.config.projectName` before loading `i18n.js`, or every module-authored label silently stays English.** `i18n.js` reads the project namespace off `App.config.projectName` — which only the SPA shell sets — and without it fetches just the platform `application-core` chrome catalog, so the page's own `<tprefix>.t.*` keys never resolve. The failure is invisible: the baked English literals render, no console error, and every shell page around the iframe IS translated. Both standalone pages (the report page and, since [#6692](https://github.com/eclipse-dirigible/dirigible/issues/6692), the task form) therefore set it in a one-line inline script before the `<script src=".../services/i18n.js">`. Two more rules the task-form conversion paid for: a value that is MATCHED against data (a status step's `label`, compared to the record's status) stays untranslated and gets a separate translated `title`, and an authored label must be escaped where it is interpolated into a `T()` call — **both the literal and the key derived from it**, since `translationId` strips only spaces and `_ . :`, so an apostrophe would close the JS string and break the whole Alpine expression.
-- **Intent glue handlers are self-describing `@Component`s, not class-level `@Listener`/`@Scheduled`.** Those SDK annotations are `@Target(METHOD)`; the rollup/notification/integration/job templates in `template-application-events-java` were converted to `@Component implements MessageHandler/JobHandler` with `destination()`/`kind()`/`cron()` (matching the Trigger template) — class-level use fails `javac` with "annotation interface not applicable".
-- **The full-stack model template MUST merge the schema layer.** `template.js` = `template-application-schema` + REST-java + Harmonia UI. The client-Java `JavaEntityManager` only *registers* an `@Entity` against an existing table — it never CREATES one; `TableCreateProcessor` (the schema sync) does. Drop the schema and a freshly generated app has **no tables** → CRUD + CSVIM seeds fail ("Table metadata was not found for table [...]"). It only *looked* fine when a prior AngularJS/schema generation had already created them ("table kept in place").
-- **Process trigger writes its process stamp via a targeted update (no event, no full row).** Starting a process on `onCreate` writes the instance id back; doing it through the normal `update()` republishes `<entity>-updated` and spuriously fires every onUpdate reaction (e.g. the member-email notification fired the instant a loan was created) — and even the silent `updateWithoutEvent()` was a **full-row merge of the trigger's stale snapshot**, which raced concurrent writes (line items recalculating the header totals milliseconds after create, a start-step status set) and silently reverted them. The trigger writes it with one `repository.updateProperties(id, {"ProcessIds": …, "ProcessId": processId})` — an SDK `JavaRepository`/`JavaEntityStore` HQL mutation touching only the named columns; no audit stamping, no events, nothing else to clobber, while the generated repository's own bookkeeping on that path (the `history:` trail entry attributed to SYSTEM, the stored `label:` Name) still runs. What must NOT run is a gate that can REFUSE it: the generated repository skips `enforceChecks` for a targeted write that touches only **platform-owned** columns (`SYSTEM_PROPERTIES` = `ProcessId`, `ProcessIds`; `touchesAuthoredColumn(values)`), because a document check has no opinion about which process handles the record and the instance is already running by then — an unbalanced or item-less document that records its process beats one that does not. Everything a person or a workflow authors keeps the gate. **Everything that can happen before the start does**, because the stamp IS the at-most-once guard and the two commits are independent: the minted `businessKeyStrategy` value is persisted BEFORE `Process.start` (the instance is started with that key), and every process variable — the `__entityUrl`/`__entityId` locators, the FK locators, `__personalUser` — rides the **start payload** rather than a `setVariable` afterwards (they are all known up front; a process without a wait state runs to its end inside `start`, and a `setVariable` against a finished instance throws). The write-back is then the only post-start step: a `null` instance id (the platform swallows a failed start) is logged and not written, and if the write does not land — the row was deleted, or it threw — the just-started instance is **cancelled** (`Process.cancel`) and the failure re-thrown, because a running instance no record points at is invisible to the application while its user tasks still reach an inbox (#6815). The trigger guard is **per process**: `ProcessStamps.has(entity.ProcessIds, "<Process>")` over the `ProcessIds` column's `Process=instanceId` pairs (#6862). A record can legitimately be the subject of several flows — "on create, identify it; when identified, run dunning" is what the `onTransition` trigger axis invites — and the old record-wide `ProcessId != null && !isBlank()` guard made every process indistinguishable from every other, so the follow-up flow silently never started for a record the first flow had already stamped. `ProcessId` stays as the most recent instance, which is what the task UI correlates on; a `wait` and an `abortOn` read their OWN instance out of `ProcessIds` (`ProcessStamps.idFor`) instead. A record carrying only the legacy `ProcessId` counts as already handled — today's behaviour, so an upgrade cannot start a second instance of a flow that is already running. An empty string still must not count as "already started" (a form sends one for an untouched system field).
-- **Documents/CMS path contract (`/services/documents`, `engine-cms`'s `DocumentsEndpoint`).** Java since the GraalJS backend was retired — the old `/services/js/documents/api/documents.js` is **gone**, and with it the `?path=/` 400 quirk (`/` now lists the root, as does omitting the parameter). Still true: the CMS query layer does **not** decode an encoded slash, so build `?path=` with **literal slashes** — encode each segment, not the whole path (`p.split('/').map(encodeURIComponent).join('/')`); a blanket `encodeURIComponent` turns `/`→`%2F` and every subfolder/file 400s. Rename is `PUT {path,name}`; delete is `DELETE` with a JSON body of absolute paths; create a folder with `POST /folder {parentFolder,name}`; upload is multipart under the part name `file`; preview/download are `GET /preview|/download?path=`; zip is `GET|POST /zip?path=`. `__internal` is never listed or addressable (403), and `__EXPORTS` needs ADMINISTRATOR/OPERATOR. Both UIs (the AngularJS `documents/js/documents.js` perspective and the shared Harmonia `application-core/shell/.../documentsPage.js`) speak exactly this contract; content types can be overridden by contributing a `DocumentContentTypeResolver` bean (the Java replacement for the `ui-documents-content-type` extension point).
-- **Edit forms: match the value to the input shape (dates + comboboxes).** The Java REST controller serializes `java.time` via Jackson as **arrays** (`LocalDate` → `[y,m,d]`, `LocalDateTime` → `[y,m,d,h,mi,s,ns]`) and `Instant` as a **numeric epoch** — NOT ISO strings — so the form's `toDateInput()` handles arrays/numbers/strings (a naive `String(v).slice()` yields garbage → empty date controls on edit). And a relationship FK comes back as a **number** while an option's `data-value` is a string (HTML attribute), so the value must be **stringified on load** (`form.X = String(record.X)`) or the `x-h-select` matches no option and renders empty on edit — the same `String(...)` the codbex-athena-app edit pages use.
-- **Combobox = the Harmonia `x-h-select` contract; the Harmonia skill is the primary source of truth** (<https://github.com/codbex/harmonia/blob/main/skills/harmonia/SKILL.md>, version-matched to `harmonia.version` in the root pom) — existing code is only an example, and an example that contradicts the skill is wrong. `x-model` on `x-h-select-input` holds the VALUE (the option `data-value`, a string); the directive hides that input and appends a visible `button[role=combobox]` trigger (`data-slot="select-input"`) showing the matched option's label — Selenide finders and CSS target the button, and note the search's generated input also carries `role=combobox`. Use `data-filter="contains"` + an in-dropdown `x-h-select-search` for searchable pickers; options go via `x-for` with `:data-value="String(opt.value)"` **inside an `x-h-select-list`** under `x-h-select-content` — the list owns the `role=listbox`, padding and vertical scrolling (the content is `overflow-hidden`), so options placed directly in the content render clipped with no scrollbar. Clearing a selection is `data-clearable="true"` on `x-h-select` (re-clicking the selected option clears it). A `disabled` `x-h-select-input` disables the trigger with it, but the generated form still renders a **context-locked** parent FK as something else entirely (`<template x-if>` around the whole `x-h-select`) — showing the referenced record's label beats a greyed-out combobox.
-- **A parent FK implied by the navigation context renders locked, not free (#6551).** When a child is created or edited from inside its parent — a master's detail panel, a create-from flow — the opening URL names the parent FK (`?<Fk>=<id>`), and the generated manage form renders that relation as the referenced record's label, read-only (`isContextLocked(name)` / `contextLabel(value, options)` on `baseFormPage`), never as a dropdown that could re-point the record mid-flow. The shared `detailPanel` therefore carries the master FK on **edit/preview** as well as create — on edit it presets nothing (the record is authoritative), it only declares the context. A form opened with no such param (the entity's own top-level create) keeps free selection. This supersedes #6513's blanket hide of `relationshipType="COMPOSITION"`: showing which parent the record is filed under is the point; hiding the field only removed the affordance.
-- **A generated page never shows `e.message`; the shared `apiErrors` gate is the only path from a REST error body to a banner.** `ApiError.message` is the developer-facing text (`api.js`), and with `spring.web.error.include-message=always` a 500 carries the raw Hibernate/JDBC sentence - #7151 was that sentence presented as a refusal, naming a form field on the strength of a fault. `App.services.apiErrors.refusalText` quotes the server only for a 400/409 that is one short sentence without markup; `refusalMessageFor(e, fallback)` is the banner one-liner, `namedProperty` + `messageWithLabels` the per-field pair (`baseFormPage.applyApiError`, mirrored on the my/partner form + document pages and the line dialogs). It took five rounds to reach every surface (#7062, #7151, #7152, #7242, #7263 - the admin page, the my/partner list + calendar loads, the standalone report page and the task form were each missed once), so `IntentEmissionCoverageIT` now walks EVERY emitted `.js`/`.html` under `gen/` and fails on `(e && e.message)` / `String(e.message`. A standalone page (admin, report, task form) loads `/services/web/application-core/shell/js/services/apiError.js` by absolute URL - it depends on nothing but `window.App` - and hands the gate an `{ httpStatus, errorMessage }` shaped like `ApiError`; a raw `fetch` never reaches the banner directly. The developer-facing text goes to `console.error`, on the admin surface too: an administrator is one keystroke from it, and the server log holds it anyway.
-- **Theme goes through Harmonia's own colour-scheme API — do not hand-toggle `.dark`.** `harmonia.min.js` manages the `.dark` class itself from `window.Harmonia.get/setColorScheme('light'|'dark'|'auto')`, persisted to localStorage key `codbex.harmonia.colorMode`; its default is `auto` (follow the OS). The shell's top-right switch (`appShell.js toggleTheme()`) calls `Harmonia.setColorScheme`, and a head bootstrap defaults the key to `light` on first run. Because **every** page loads harmonia.min.js and reads the same key, the shell and the standalone form/report iframes all theme consistently — this is why the task form no longer renders dark on a light shell (an earlier custom `dirigible.harmonia.theme` key + manual `.dark` toggle only fixed the shell, not the iframes). Settings is pinned to the **sidebar footer** (bottom-left, like codbex-athena-app); Reports is a single entry **discovered at runtime** (a `reports` store walks the project registry tree for `*/reports/*/index.html`, since intent reports are standalone pages in a separate gen folder the shell can't see at generation time). The intent recipe defaults (`IntentSettings.scaffold`) point model/form/report at the Harmonia templates; glue stays the neutral client-Java template.
-
-- **Velocity vs Alpine `$` is the #1 trap in the Harmonia shell templates.** The shell's `index.html.template` and `dashboardPage.js.template` are **generated via Velocity** (they use `$models`/`$entity`/`$appIcon`), and Velocity parses `$`-references **everywhere — including inside HTML comments and JS string bodies**. An Alpine magic like `$store`/`$notifications`/`$nextTick` is fine as a *bare reference* (undefined → Velocity passes it through literally), but the moment it's followed by a **method call with args or trailing statements** Velocity tries to parse it and the generation 500s with `Encountered "..."`. Three real burns: `$store.processTasks.openTask(n.task); n.unread=false` in an `@click` (fixed by moving the logic to an `appShell.openNotification(n)` method and calling that), `$notifications.add({ template:'toast', data:{ message, variant } })` **in an HTML comment** (Velocity choked on `{ message,…}` — reworded the comment), and `$store...filter(r => r.dashboard !== false)` in a getter (escaped via `#set($dollar='$')` + `${dollar}store`, the same trick `report.js.template` uses for `$limit`/`$nextTick`). Rule: in a Velocity-generated file keep `$store.x` to bare refs / no-arg calls, escape with `${dollar}` for anything richer, or move it into a copied (non-Velocity) JS file / an appShell method.
-- **Put cross-scope shell state in an Alpine *store*, not the `app` component.** `theme` lived on the `app` component (`x-data="app"`) and its toolbar `x-show="theme !== 'dark'"` threw **"theme is not defined" on every load** — eager `x-show` evaluation in a scope Alpine hadn't resolved yet (other `app` props on the same toolbar were fine; only the eager ones failed, intermittently). Moved it to `$store.theme` (`{ value, toggle() }`, backed by `Harmonia.set/getColorScheme`); stores resolve from any scope at any time, like `$store.notifications`/`currentUser`/`reports`/`processTasks`. (This **supersedes the `appShell.toggleTheme()` note above**.)
-- **Embedded iframes (report/form preview, task form, dashboard report tiles) only theme at load.** Harmonia applies the shared `codbex.harmonia.colorMode` key when the iframe loads; toggling the shell theme afterwards left them stale until a full refresh. Fix in **every** standalone/embeddable page — `report-file/index.html`, form-builder `ui/index.html`, **and the per-project Harmonia shell `ui/shell/index.html` itself** (it is embedded in the application-shell iframe and in the FK "Add new" dialog, and hosts the list/manage/master-detail/document views, so the one listener makes all of them follow a parent theme switch): a `storage` event listener (it fires in same-origin iframes when the **parent** changes localStorage) that calls `Harmonia.setColorScheme`. **Do NOT gate on `Harmonia.getColorScheme() !== scheme`** — it reads the same key which already holds the new value, so it always skips and nothing re-applies; track a module-level `lastApplied` scheme instead (re-apply once, no echo loop).
-- **An icon carrying an Alpine directive must be `<svg x-h-lucide>`, never `<i>`.** Harmonia refuses the combination *by throwing* — `"x-show" cannot be used on a <i> placeholder, because the element is replaced by the rendered svg and the binding would be lost` — and the exception is **not local to the icon**: it aborts the enclosing `x-for`, so every item after the first renders with no name, no id, no icon and unevaluated bindings. That is how the tenant picker (`security-oauth2/.../static/tenant-selection.html`) shipped a list that showed only its first tile, invisible until it was rendered with real data. Two corollaries from the same page: prefer `x-if` over `x-show` on an element Harmonia also styles (they fight over `display`), and give a branding logo an `@error` handler so an unresolved one hides instead of leaving the browser's broken-image glyph.
-- **`x-show` only hides — Alpine still evaluates the inner bindings.** The master-detail detail pane is `x-show="selected"`, but before a row is selected `selected` is null and `x-text="displayValue(selected.Email)"` threw `Cannot read properties of null`. Use optional chaining (`selected?.<field>`) in the property panes (list/manage/master). Same reason the report-tile preview iframes are `<template x-if>` not `x-show`.
-- **Split-panel sizing is `data-size` (a `%` or px), NOT `data-default-size`** — `data-default-size` isn't referenced anywhere in harmonia 2.1.0 (silently 50/50). Both panes need it (`data-size="60%"` + `data-size="40%"`). To collapse a pane until needed (detail-pane-until-selection), bind `:data-hidden="!selected"` on the panel — the same mechanism the sidebar's collapse uses.
-- **`x-h-field` stretches every DIRECT child to full width, so a bare `x-h-checkbox` renders as an empty text box.** The default (vertical) orientation adds `vbox [&>*]:w-full`, and the checkbox's own bordered square (`aspect-square border bg-input-inner size-5`) becomes a full-width bordered rectangle — visually identical to an empty text input. That is #7103: a `type: boolean` field "rendered as a text input" on the generated personal form while the emitted markup was a correct `x-h-checkbox` all along, so grepping the template for the CHECKBOX branch proved nothing and the widget mapping was never at fault. Put the checkbox — or any intrinsically-sized control — inside a wrapper (`<div class="hbox items-center gap-3">`, which absorbs the stretch) or set `data-orientation="horizontal"` on the field. The power `manage/form-view` and `template-form-builder-harmonia` always did; the personal/partner/admin form views and every item/prompt dialog did not.
-- **`x-h-toolbar-title` bakes in `whitespace-nowrap text-ellipsis overflow-hidden`** — in a flex toolbar an entity title shrank to "Bo…"/"Mem…". Add `class="shrink-0"` to entity-name titles (list/manage/master/form/report) so they keep their natural width; leave the *dynamic* inbox titles truncating.
-- **The shell is richer than the original skeleton (all model/runtime-driven):** a **home Dashboard** (`/` and `/dashboard`, `dashboardPage` + `_dashboard.html`) with report-attached KPI widget tiles (`reports[].widget`) + custom widget tiles (`widgets:`) and a per-report preview tile (the report page in `?preview=1` mode — toolbar/pagination hidden, 5 rows) — there are no auto per-entity record-count tiles; **sidebar sections** Application / Entities / **Reports** (one entry per runtime-discovered report, selecting sets `$store.reports.selected` and opens it embedded on `/reports`); a route-derived **breadcrumb** (`navLabels` from a generated `window.__harmoniaNav` map so the entity crumb matches the sidebar); and a top-right **user menu** (name from `/services/js/platform-core/services/user-name.js`, logout → `/logout`), **notifications bell** (the `notifications` store; `processTasks.syncTasks()` surfaces BPM tasks as bell items, the store polls every 30s + on `pinecone:end` so they appear without a manual refresh), and the **theme** switch. Settings still pinned to the sidebar footer.
-- **`widgetSize` is now a plain integer column count (3/4/6/12), not a Fundamental CSS class.** The entity editor stores the number; Harmonia maps it to `grid-column: span N` (12 → `col-span-full`) on a 12-col form grid. Migration caveat: old `.edm` files with the legacy `fd-col-md--2 fd-col--3` string render a broken width class.
-- **Form typography conventions (generated views).** Read-only / system fields (`isReadOnlyProperty` — `ProcessId`, audit columns, `uuid`, any `readOnly: true` field — and audit) render in a headerless **`x-h-card`** above the action buttons (a framed details block like the master-detail card, no title), NOT as editable inputs: `x-h-card` > `x-h-card-content` with a `grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 gap-x-4 gap-y-2`; each field a `vbox gap-0` with label `class="text-xs text-muted-foreground"` and value `class="text-sm"`, shown on edit and only when the value is populated. Wired in `manage/form-view` + `document/document-view` (master-detail reuses the manage form). **Document layout roles.** In a document (header-items) entity, a field with intent `documentTitle: true` → `widgetType="DOCUMENT_NUMBER"` renders in the form **title** (`'<DocLabel>'.toUpperCase() + ' ' + form.<number>`, e.g. "SALES INVOICE 00001231"), and a to-one relation with `documentStatus: true` → `widgetType="DOCUMENT_STATUS"` renders as a read-only **`x-h-badge` pill** in the title bar (text resolved from its dropdown options, colour from `statusVariant(text)` — a keyword→variant map: draft→outline, approved/accepted/active→positive, issued/sent→information, cancel/reject→negative, pending→warning). Both are pulled from the editable grid; the status keeps its dropdown lookup metadata so the pill can resolve the id→name. For secondary/muted labels (e.g. the document totals footer) use **`text-secondary-foreground`**, not `text-secondary` (the bare token is the surface colour, not the on-surface text colour — labels using it render near-invisible).
-- **The model-independent shell runtime is SHARED, not copied per project.** It lives once at `/services/web/application-core/shell/` (`components/resources/application-core/.../application-core/shell/`: `app.js`, `services/*`, `stores/*`, `components/layout/appShell.js`, base/page components, `css/app.css`, and the Inbox/Documents/Reports/notfound views). The generated per-project shell and the application shell both load it from there by absolute URL; `template-application-ui-harmonia-java` only **generates** the model-specific files (`index.html`, `config.js`, `dashboardPage.js`, `_settings.html`, `_dashboard.html`, per-entity pages). Do NOT re-add per-project copies of the shared files (`shell.js` no longer emits them). PR [#6094](https://github.com/eclipse-dirigible/dirigible/pull/6094).
-- **A BPM task's name travels with its translation key — the shell never derives one.** The Inbox, the notification bell and the app-wide task-form dialog are shared by every deployed app, so they cannot know which module's catalog holds a task's name: an Approve button stayed English on an otherwise fully translated app (#6522). So the generated `.bpmn` declares its module's catalog once, on the `<process>` element (`<flowable:property name="taskLabelCatalog" value="<project>:<model>-model.processes"/>`, minted by `IntentNaming.processTaskCatalog`), and `BpmInboxEndpoint` serves every task a `nameKey`/`processDefinitionNameKey` composed from it plus the BPMN id — which IS the authored step / process name, i.e. exactly how the catalog keys it. Read off the deployment-cached `BpmnModel`, resolved once per definition per request. Everything is decided at generation time; the client only renders `T(task.nameKey, task.name)` through the one rule on the `processTasks` store (`taskName` / `processName` / `taskLabel`) and adds the namespaces its tasks reference via `AppI18nAddNamespaces`. A process that declares no catalog (a hand-authored BPMN) keys nothing and renders the raw BPMN name, as before. **Do not reintroduce the per-project `processTaskKeys` reverse map** that `config.js` used to bake — it could only ever translate tasks from the hosting project, and two mechanisms for one label is how the shell surfaces got missed in the first place.
+The runtime UI stack for generated applications: they render as a self-contained **Alpine.js + Harmonia SPA** (client-routed by Pinecone in hash mode, no iframes/`postMessage` hubs), served at `/services/web/<project>/gen/<model>/index.html`, talking to the **reused** generated Java REST controllers over a `fetch` client. The AngularJS IDE is untouched; the application layer ships this stack only. `template-application-ui-harmonia-java` (registered on `platform-templates` as "Application - UI (Harmonia) - Java") emits the view types (list, manage, setting, master-detail, document, calendar, slots, reports) + built-in **Process Inbox** (`/inbox`) and **Documents** (`/documents`) shell sections + inline process-task surfacing; `template-form-builder-harmonia` ("Harmonia Generator from Form Model", extension `form`) is the runtime form generator. The stack is embedded as **webjars** via `components/resources/application-core` (`harmonia.version`, `alpinejs.version`, `lucide.version`, `pinecone-router.version`, `i18next.version` in the root `pom.xml`), served version-less through webjars-locator at `/webjars/<name>/dist/...`; a version bump is a pom-only change. Report charts use Harmonia's native `x-h-chart-*` SVG charts.

+**Do not write Harmonia markup from memory or from the examples already in this repo.** The single source of truth for every `x-h-*` directive, attribute, modifier, variant and utility class is the Harmonia skill, version-matched to `harmonia.version`:
+
+- Install it as a Claude Code plugin: `/plugin marketplace add codbex/harmonia` then `/plugin install harmonia@codbex`. The same files ship inside the `codbex__harmonia` webjar under `skills/harmonia/` (`SKILL.md`, `references/<component>.md`, `references/utility-classes.md`, `references/migration.md`) and in the `codbex/harmonia` repo.
+- Before a version bump read `references/migration.md` (breaking changes by version) and the CHANGELOG; before touching a component read its reference; before using a utility class confirm it is in `references/utility-classes.md` - a class Harmonia does not ship silently does nothing (use an inline `style` for a one-off value, a rule in the module's own `css/app.css` when several sites share it). Where an example in this repo contradicts the skill, the example is wrong.
+- Harmonia's example apps (`docs/public/templates/{granite-erp,onyx-chat,quartz-docs,slate,ember}` in the Harmonia repo) show the canonical composition of an app shell: sidebar destinations are `x-h-sidebar-menu-nav`, every icon is `<svg x-h-lucide role="presentation" data-lucide="...">`, dialogs pad through `x-h-dialog-content`, cards through their slots, the theme control is a Light / Dark / Auto radio menu.
+
+`HarmoniaContractIT` (`tests-integrations`, HTTP-only, in the PR smoke gate) is the guard: it reads the directive registry out of the webjar's `dist/harmonia.min.js` and the class allowlist out of its `skills/harmonia/references/utility-classes.md`, then scans every Harmonia shell page and the rendered output of the generated-app templates for an unregistered `x-h-*`, a non-shipped class, an `<i x-h-lucide>` placeholder or an unknown button/badge variant. A failure names the resource and the token.
+
+### Dirigible-specific facts the skill cannot know
+
+- **One shared shell runtime, never copied per project.** It lives once at `/services/web/application-core/shell/` (`components/resources/application-core/.../application-core/shell/`: `app.js`, `services/*`, `stores/*`, `components/layout/appShell.js`, base/page components, `css/app.css`, the Inbox/Documents/Reports/notfound views). The generated per-project shell and the platform shells (`resources-application`, `-admin`, `-personal`, `-partner`, `-monitoring`, `-database`, `-builder`, `-home`, the tenant picker in `security-oauth2`) load it by absolute URL; `template-application-ui-harmonia-java` only **generates** the model-specific files (`index.html`, `config.js`, `dashboardPage.js`, `_settings.html`, `_dashboard.html`, per-entity pages). Do NOT re-add per-project copies of the shared files.
+- **Theme = Harmonia's colour-scheme API, three modes.** Harmonia persists the selection under `codbex.harmonia.colorMode` (default `auto`, the OS scheme), applies the `.dark` class itself and keeps every same-origin frame and browser tab in sync itself - nothing in this repo seeds the key or listens to `storage` events, and nothing may toggle `.dark` by hand. The shared `$store.theme` (`shell/js/stores/theme.js`) exposes `mode` (`light|dark|auto`, a getter/setter over `Harmonia.get/setColorScheme`) and `icon`, and re-syncs through `Harmonia.addColorSchemeListener((scheme, mode) => ...)`; every toolbar carries the same control - an icon button that is an `x-h-menu-trigger.dropdown` opening three `x-h-menu-radio-item`s bound to `$store.theme.mode`. Pages that load no shell runtime (home, tenant picker) carry the same getter/setter locally.
+- **Toasts go through the public `$notifications` magic.** A magic lives on an Alpine component scope, so the root component that renders the `x-h-notification-overlay` hands it to the shared store once at init (`Alpine.store('notifications').attachToaster(this.$notifications)`); `announce()` records the bell entry first and raises the toast through `add({ template: 'toast', position, timeout, data })`. Never reach into Harmonia's private `_h_notifications` store.
+- **`format.js` (`window.HarmoniaFormat`) stays the date/number engine**, not `x-h-date-format`: it preserves Java `DecimalFormat`/`DateTimeFormatter` pattern semantics and is dependency-free for the BPM task-form iframe. `HarmoniaDateFormatIT` asserts the `x-h-date-picker-popup="HarmoniaFormat.pickerConfig()"` contract. `window.HarmoniaFormat`, `window.HarmoniaCalendar` and `window.HarmoniaBranding` are Dirigible globals that only share the word; Harmonia itself sets only `window.Harmonia`.
+- **`codbex.harmonia.language` is shared as a localStorage key only.** Dirigible drives i18next through its own `shell/js/services/i18n.js` and does not load `harmonia-i18next.min.js`, so `x-h-translate`, `$t` and `$i18n` are unavailable in the shells; use `T(key, fallback)`.
+- **Velocity vs Alpine `$` is the #1 trap in the generated shell templates.** `index.html.template` and `dashboardPage.js.template` are rendered by Velocity, which parses `$`-references everywhere - inside HTML comments and JS string bodies too. An Alpine magic like `$store`/`$notifications`/`$nextTick` is fine as a bare reference, but a method call with arguments or trailing statements makes Velocity choke (`Encountered "..."`). Keep `$store.x` to bare refs / no-arg calls, escape with `#set($dollar='$')` + `${dollar}store` for anything richer, or move the logic into a copied (non-Velocity) JS file or an appShell method.
+- **Put cross-scope shell state in an Alpine store, not the `app` component.** An eager `x-show` on a toolbar element evaluated before the `app` scope resolved threw "theme is not defined" intermittently; stores (`$store.theme`, `$store.notifications`, `$store.currentUser`, `$store.reports`, `$store.processTasks`) resolve from any scope at any time.
+- **`x-show` only hides - Alpine still evaluates the inner bindings.** Use optional chaining (`selected?.<field>`) in property panes that render before a selection exists, and `<template x-if>` for embedded preview iframes.
+- **Authored labels are escaped for every JS/Alpine interpolation (#7294).** `ModelParameterProcessor` produces `widgetLabelJs`; the templates set `$plabel`/`$clabel`/`$elabel` from it and use it in every `T(...)` argument, `:placeholder`, column/label map and chart series name. Never substitute the raw `widgetLabel` inside an expression: an apostrophe would close the JS string and break the whole Alpine expression.
+- **A boolean field's checkbox sits in a plain box** (`<div class="hbox items-center gap-3"><span x-h-checkbox>...`) because an `x-h-field` stretches a direct child to full width (#7103); `IntentEmissionCoverageIT` asserts the wrapper on the power and the personal form.
+- **Read-only / system fields render in a headerless `x-h-card` above the action buttons** (`x-h-card` > `x-h-card-content` with a `grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 gap-x-4 gap-y-2`; label `text-xs text-muted-foreground`, value `text-sm`; shown on edit and only when populated) - wired in `manage/form-view` + `document/document-view`. **Document layout roles:** a field with intent `documentTitle: true` -> `widgetType="DOCUMENT_NUMBER"` renders in the form title, a to-one with `documentStatus: true` -> `widgetType="DOCUMENT_STATUS"` renders as a read-only `x-h-badge` pill in the title bar (`statusVariant(text)` maps keywords to the badge variants).
+- **`widgetSize` is a plain integer column count 1..12** (the intent's `size:`, validated at parse), mapped to `sm:col-span-N` on the 12-column form grid. Old `.edm` files with the legacy Fundamental string (`fd-col-md--2 fd-col--3`) render a broken width class.
+- **The document conversation thread** (`documentItemsLayout: chat`) is `x-h-bubble` messages (`data-align` by author, `warning` variant for an internal memo) in a `role="log"` container, with an `x-h-input-group` composer whose textarea keeps `x-model="chatDraft"` and whose send button calls `sendMessage(chatDraft)` - both asserted by `IntentEmissionCoverageIT` and walked by the Playwright `my.js` flow.
+- **The shell is model/runtime-driven:** a home Dashboard (`/`, `/dashboard`) with report-attached KPI widget tiles + custom widget tiles + per-report preview tiles (no auto per-entity record-count tiles); sidebar sections Application / Entities / Reports (reports are discovered at runtime by the `reports` store); a route-derived breadcrumb (`navLabels` from the generated `window.__harmoniaNav`); a user menu, the notifications bell (the `notifications` store; `processTasks.syncTasks()` surfaces BPM tasks, polled every 30 s + on `pinecone:end`) and the theme menu; Settings pinned to the sidebar footer.
+
+### Generated-app contracts (not Harmonia, but the templates depend on them)
+
+- **REST path must use the Java-sanitised names.** `restBase` is `/services/java/<project>/gen/${javaGenFolderName}/api` and each page's `apiPath` is the **relative** `/${javaPerspectiveName}/<Entity>Controller`; the fetch client prepends `restBase` exactly once. Use `javaGenFolderName`/`javaPerspectiveName` (e.g. `sales-order` -> `sales_order`), not the raw `genFolderName`/lowercased perspective.
+- **`{ baseUrl: '' }` means "URL is absolute, prepend nothing".** The fetch client checks `opts.baseUrl !== undefined`, not truthiness - passing `''` with a relative path (or omitting it with an absolute path) is the classic doubled-URL bug. Entity pages use a relative `apiPath` and no override; absolute URLs (relationship dropdowns, the detail registry) pass `{ baseUrl: '' }`.
+- **Date/time widgets need conversion both ways.** `toPayload()` turns an HTML `date`/`datetime-local` value into a full ISO instant so a Jackson `java.time.Instant`/`Timestamp` field binds (empty -> `null`, a bare `TIME` passes through); `toDateInput()` slices the backend's value back - and the Java controller serializes `java.time` as **arrays** (`LocalDate` -> `[y,m,d]`, `LocalDateTime` -> `[y,m,d,h,mi,s,ns]`) and `Instant` as a numeric epoch, so `toDateInput()` handles arrays/numbers/strings. A relationship FK comes back as a **number** while an option's `data-value` is a string: stringify on load (`form.X = String(record.X)`) or the `x-h-select` matches no option.
+- **Master-detail is registry-driven.** A master page renders one `detailPanel` per `App.detailsFor(<master>)` entry; each detail self-registers via `App.registerDetail(...)` (relative `apiPath`); the detail list filters via the controller's `?<masterEntityId>=<id>` query.
+- **A parent FK implied by the navigation context renders locked, not free (#6551).** When the opening URL names the parent FK (`?<Fk>=<id>`), the form renders that relation as the referenced record's label, read-only (`isContextLocked(name)` / `contextLabel(value, options)` on `baseFormPage`); the shared `detailPanel` carries the master FK on edit/preview as well as create.
+- **The `.form` runs the existing AngularJS `code` via compat shims, and the page is self-contained.** `template-form-builder-harmonia` runs the `.form` `code` as the body of `formController(ctx)` and defines `$scope`/`$http`/`NotificationHub`/`DialogHub` shims; the page loads only `form.js` + its own minimal fetch client, because a BPM task form opens standalone in an iframe where the SPA shell assets are absent.
+- **A standalone page must bootstrap `App.config.projectName` before loading `i18n.js`**, or every module-authored label silently stays English (the report page and the task form set it in a one-line inline script). A value MATCHED against data (a status step's `label`) stays untranslated and gets a separate translated `title`.
+- **A generated page never shows `e.message`; the shared `apiErrors` gate is the only path from a REST error body to a banner** (`refusalText` / `refusalMessageFor` / `namedProperty` + `messageWithLabels`; standalone pages load `shell/js/services/apiError.js` by absolute URL). `IntentEmissionCoverageIT` walks every emitted `.js`/`.html` under `gen/` and fails on `(e && e.message)` / `String(e.message`.
+- **Intent glue handlers are self-describing `@Component`s, not class-level `@Listener`/`@Scheduled`** (those SDK annotations are `@Target(METHOD)`).
+- **The full-stack model template MUST merge the schema layer** (`template.js` = `template-application-schema` + REST-java + Harmonia UI): the client-Java `JavaEntityManager` only registers an `@Entity` against an existing table, `TableCreateProcessor` creates it.
+- **The process trigger writes its process stamp via a targeted update (no event, no full row)**: `repository.updateProperties(id, {"ProcessIds": ..., "ProcessId": processId})` after `Process.start`, with the minted `businessKeyStrategy` value persisted before the start and every process variable riding the start payload; a `null` instance id is logged and not written; a failed write-back cancels the just-started instance (#6815); the guard is per process over `ProcessIds` (`ProcessStamps.has`, #6862) and the generated repository skips `enforceChecks` for a targeted write that touches only platform-owned columns.
+- **Documents/CMS path contract (`/services/documents`, `engine-cms`'s `DocumentsEndpoint`).** The CMS query layer does not decode an encoded slash, so build `?path=` with literal slashes (`p.split('/').map(encodeURIComponent).join('/')`). Rename is `PUT {path,name}`; delete is `DELETE` with a JSON body of absolute paths; create a folder with `POST /folder {parentFolder,name}`; upload is multipart under `file`; preview/download are `GET /preview|/download?path=`; zip is `GET|POST /zip?path=`. `__internal` is never listed (403), `__EXPORTS` needs ADMINISTRATOR/OPERATOR. Content types can be overridden with a `DocumentContentTypeResolver` bean.
+- **A BPM task's name travels with its translation key - the shell never derives one.** The generated `.bpmn` declares its module's catalog once on the `<process>` element (`taskLabelCatalog`, minted by `IntentNaming.processTaskCatalog`); `BpmInboxEndpoint` serves every task a `nameKey`/`processDefinitionNameKey`; the client renders `T(task.nameKey, task.name)` through the `processTasks` store. Do not reintroduce a per-project `processTaskKeys` reverse map.

 - **The idempotent creates answer `304`, and `response.ok` is 2xx-only.** `POST /workspaces/{ws}` and `.../{ws}/{project}` return 201 the first time and **304 NOT MODIFIED** afterwards, so a naive `!response.ok` throw makes the *second* save fail while the first succeeded. The fetch helper takes an `alsoOk: [304]`.
 - **The workspace may not exist at all** on an instance where the user never opened the IDE; creating a project inside a missing workspace answers 404, so `ensureProject` creates the workspace first.
 - The agent endpoint can make three upstream calls, each **streamed** with adaptive thinking (so there is no fixed per-call ceiling to multiply; the server's outer bound is 10 minutes per call) — the client timeout is **20 minutes**, with a staged typing indicator.

 ### Corrections to this plan, found while building it
 
-- **The bump is to 2.9.0, not 2.10.0.** 2.10.0 is published on npm but has no webjar on Maven
-  Central, and 2.9.0 carries every breaking change that mattered (the tree rewrite included). The
-  2.10.0 delta — a cross-origin iframe crash fix and an inverted `getBreakpointListener` third
-  argument — is a follow-up; when its webjar lands, the six shells calling that listener must pass
-  `true`.
+- **The bump was to 2.9.0 at the time (2.10.0 had no webjar yet); the platform has since moved on to
+  3.1.2.** The `getBreakpointListener` third argument is deliberately left at its default
+  (`topFrame = false`): the listener then measures the frame it runs in, which is what the CSS
+  breakpoint variants resolve against, so the shells calling it pass nothing. (An earlier note here
+  asked them to pass `true`; Harmonia's own docs argue the opposite, and the docs win.)
 - **The `data-disabled` sweep was a bug fix, not a rename.** `data-disabled` on a root `x-h-select`
   never did anything, even on 2.6.0: it was always a per-*option* attribute, and the whole control
   is disabled through native `disabled` on `x-h-select-input`. Preview-mode and read-only dropdowns

-# Harmonia 1.24.2 -> 2.x migration plan
-
-Migration of the Harmonia UI library consumed by the Dirigible platform from
-`1.24.2` to `2.1.0`. This document is the working plan; keep it in sync as
-phases land.
-
-## Current state
-
-- Version pin: `pom.xml` `<harmonia.version>` = `2.1.0`.
-- The webjar is a dependency of exactly one module -
-  `components/resources/application-core` (`org.webjars.npm:codbex__harmonia`),
-  served from the classpath at `/webjars/codbex__harmonia/dist/...`. No dist
-  files are vendored; the shell runtime is shared, not copied per project.
-- Consumers: `components/template/template-application-ui-harmonia-java`
-  (bulk of the `x-h-*` usage), `components/template/template-form-builder-harmonia`,
-  `components/resources/application-core` (shared shell runtime), and
-  `components/resources/resources-application` (live application shell).
-- `codbex__harmonia:2.1.0` is published on Maven Central and resolves. The webjar
-  keeps `dist/harmonia.min.js` + `dist/harmonia.css` (existing tags keep
-  resolving) and ships the opt-in `dist/harmonia-lucide.*` and
-  `dist/harmonia-i18next.*` bundles plus a `skills/` directory.
-
-## Version history relevant to us
-
-- **2.0.0** - the only release with breaking changes (see below).
-- **2.0.1-2.0.3** - fixes; 2.0.3 was the first we adopted (Phase 1).
-- **2.1.0** - NO breaking changes. Adds an opt-in i18next plugin, two app
-  templates (Granite ERP, Onyx Chat), badge/avatar/sidebar enhancements, and a
-  Lucide-plugin enhancement (see Phase 2). Safe to bump straight from 2.0.3.
-
-## Harmonia 2.0.0 breaking changes (baseline for the whole migration)
-
-1. Date/time pickers refactored to use standard model values (`YYYY-MM-DD` for
-   the date picker) instead of custom formats.
-2. Icon rendering changed from a modifier to the reactive `data-icon` attribute:
-   `x-h-icon.home` -> `x-h-icon data-icon="home"`.
-3. Utility class `absolute-fit` renamed to `position-fit`.
-4. Built-in icons renamed: `info.svg` -> `circle-info.svg`,
-   `warning.svg` -> `circle-warning.svg`.
-5. Form validation now defers to `:user-invalid` instead of `:invalid`; opt back
-   into on-load validation with `data-validate="immediate"` on an ancestor.
-
-## What 2.x newly delivers (adopt, do not reinvent)
-
-- Native charts: `x-h-chart-{line,bar,doughnut,pie,scatter}`.
-- Lucide lifecycle directive `x-h-lucide` (opt-in bundle; drop-in for `data-lucide`).
-- New components: `datetime-picker`, `file-upload`, `rating`, `slot-picker`,
-  inline calendar; enhanced popover/progress/sidebar/calendar/badge/avatar.
-- Locale-aware `x-h-date-format` + shared intl engine.
-- Opt-in i18next plugin (`x-h-translate`, `$t`/`$i18n`) - the shell already has
-  its own i18n, so this is not needed for the migration.
-- New utility classes/tokens: `col-span-*`, `row-span-*`, `line-clamp-*`,
-  `position-fit`/`position-center`, `text-2xs`, `self-*`, `h-mask`/`v-mask`,
-  `tabular-nums`, extended sizing scales, standard palette.
-- Generated, shipped agent skill under `skills/harmonia/` (package now ships it).

-
-## Phase 1 - bump + mechanical sweep - DONE (committed 429f4de, then bumped to 2.1.0)
-
-1. `<harmonia.version>` -> `2.1.0` (was bumped to 2.0.3 first, now 2.1.0).
-2. Migrated the Harmonia built-in icons from `x-h-icon.<name>` to the reactive
-   `x-h-icon data-icon="<name>"` form (34 sites). Icons that never existed in
-   Harmonia were fixed: `upload` -> built-in `import`; `inbox`/`eye` -> Lucide.
-   (`x-h-info-page-media.icon` still exists in 2.x - left as is.)
-3. Refreshed the vendored `template-application-ui-harmonia-java/reference/harmonia/`
-   skill from the 2.1.0-shipped `skills/harmonia/`. (Since removed - the skill is now
-   consulted upstream at <https://github.com/codbex/harmonia/blob/main/skills/harmonia/SKILL.md>
-   / <https://codbex.com/harmonia/> to avoid drift.)
-4. Synced version strings in `CLAUDE.md` and `HARMONIA_RUNTIME_PLAN.md`
-   (`data-size` split note re-verified - still accurate in 2.1.0).
-5. Also fixed a pre-existing bug found during runtime verification: the
-   standalone generated report page (`report-file/index.html.template`) loaded
-   `report.js` (which formats via `window.HarmoniaFormat`) but never `format.js`,
-   so `HarmoniaFormat` was undefined in the report iframe. Added the `format.js`
-   include; also dropped `defer` on `format.js` in the shells.
-
-Runtime-verified on a 2.x instance: 2.x loads, shell + generated Sales Invoice
-app render, all migrated icons render as SVG, generated output carries the 2.0
-`data-icon` form only.
-
-## Phase 2 - dark-mode cleanup + Lucide
-
-### Dark-mode
-
-Harmonia auto-persists the color scheme to localStorage and auto-syncs it across
-all same-origin iframes and other browser tabs/windows (see the Harmonia
-dark-mode skill). The custom plumbing is therefore redundant.
-
-1. Delete the custom cross-iframe `storage` listeners (generated shell template,
-   plus the copies in the `report-file` and form-builder templates).
-2. Keep exactly one color-scheme toggle, in the shell only (live
-   `resources-application/.../application/index.html` toolbar and the generated
-   `ui/shell/index.html.template` toolbar). Remove any theme toggle/logic that
-   leaked into embedded perspective iframes - the shell button propagates
-   automatically. The toggle's sun/moon icon is a Lucide icon that flips with
-   state, so render it with the `<svg x-h-lucide>` + `x-show` pattern (see below).
-3. Slim `application-core/.../shell/js/stores/theme.js` to thin wrappers over
-   `Harmonia.getColorScheme()/setColorScheme()` (optionally
-   `addColorSchemeListener`); drop manual DOM/class/sync code. Reconsider the
-   first-run "force light" bootstrap - Harmonia defaults to `auto` and persists
-   the last choice.
-
-### Lucide (~109 `data-lucide` sites) - NOT a blind sweep
-
-Load the opt-in `/webjars/codbex__harmonia/dist/harmonia-lucide.min.js` bundle in
-every shell/standalone page, AFTER the Lucide UMD (it needs `window.lucide`).
-KEEP the Lucide webjar - Harmonia does not bundle Lucide. Then remove the manual
-`lucide.createIcons()` / `refreshIcons()` wiring (`x-h-lucide` renders on init
-and inside dynamically loaded fragments / `x-for` / `x-if` / router views).
-
-Migration depends on whether the icon is static or changes at runtime. Two rules
-from the 2.1.0 Lucide plugin:
-
-- **`<i x-h-lucide>` (or any non-svg tag) is REPLACED by the rendered `<svg>`.**
-  Combining it with any other Alpine directive (`x-show`, `:class`, `@click`, ...)
-  now THROWS a descriptive error (the only exception is `:data-lucide`, whose
-  bound name is consumed at render time). So a static `<i role="img"
-  data-lucide="home">` just gets ` x-h-lucide` added.
-- **`<svg x-h-lucide>` is rendered IN PLACE**, so Alpine directives on it survive.
-  Use this form whenever the placeholder also carries `x-show` / `:class` / etc.
-- **The icon name is read ONCE.** `x-h-lucide` does NOT re-render when a bound
-  `:data-lucide` value changes. Any current `:data-lucide="expr"` + `refreshIcons()`
-  toggle (e.g. the report chart/table button `table-2` <-> `bar-chart-3`) must
-  become either two `<svg x-h-lucide>` elements toggled with `x-show`, or an
-  element re-created via `x-if`/`template` so the directive runs again. A blind
-  `data-lucide` -> `x-h-lucide` sweep would FREEZE these on their first value.
-
-So, concretely:
-- Static `data-lucide` on a directive-free placeholder: add `x-h-lucide` (keep `<i>`).
-- Placeholder that also has another Alpine directive, or whose name toggles: use
-  `<svg x-h-lucide>` (+ `x-show` for a toggle pair), or `x-if`-recreate.
-- Remove `createIcons()`/`refreshIcons()` calls and their `@click="...; refreshIcons()"` hooks.
-
-## Phase 3 - mandatory Harmonia component adoption
-
-Rule: if a Harmonia component exists, use it. No native-HTML or bespoke
-substitutes. All picker models match the native `<input>` value they replace, so
-the existing `x-model="form.X"` bindings and `format.js.toDateInput()` shapes stay
-compatible (verify each on the running app).
-
-1. Date -> `x-h-date-picker` (compound: root + `-trigger` + `-popup`; `x-model` on
-   the popup). Model `YYYY-MM-DD` (== native `type="date"`).
-2. Datetime -> `x-h-datetime-picker` (root + `-trigger` + `-popup`; `x-model` on
-   the popup). Model ISO with `T` separator `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm[:ss]`
-   (== native `type="datetime-local"`).
-3. Time -> `x-h-time-picker` (root + `-input` + `-popup`; `x-model` on the input).
-   Model `HH:MM[:SS]`, 24h (== native `type="time"`).

-## Dropped
-
-- Replacing `application-core/.../shell/js/services/format.js` with the 2.x intl
-  engine. Reversed by #6193 (unify date/number formatting behind one
-  configurable source): the custom module intentionally preserves Java
-  `DecimalFormat`/`DateTimeFormatter` pattern semantics (per-field scale,
-  instance-level separators, dependency-free for the BPM iframe). `x-h-date-format`
-  is `Intl`-based and cannot reproduce those. At most, use `x-h-date-format` for
-  pure-locale display where Java-pattern semantics are not required (marginal).
-
-## Deferred / coordinate
-
-- Chart.js -> native `x-h-chart-*`. The report/chart/dashboard/KPI stack was
-  built very recently on Chart.js (#6137 `reports[].chart`, #6133/#6136/#6140).
-  Migrating means reworking fresh code, and two gaps stand: `polarArea`/`radar`
-  have no native `x-h-chart-*` equivalent, and `printChart()` canvas->PNG depends
-  on a `<canvas>` the native components may not expose. The Chart.js webjar lives
-  in `components/resources/resources-resources/pom.xml` (`chart.js.version` in
-  root `pom.xml`); only droppable if both report surfaces fully migrate. Do this
-  as a separate, coordinated PR.
-  **Done (#6590):** the Harmonia reports run on the native `x-h-chart-*` charts and
-  the AngularJS report surface was removed with the Dashboard shell (#6589), so the
-  Chart.js webjar and its version property are gone.
-
-## Verification
-
-Build the platform (needs `JAVA_HOME` -> corretto-21; install the root pom first
-if building modules with `-pl`, else `${harmonia.version}` resolves from the
-stale installed parent), launch an instance, and drive the Harmonia app shell + a
-generated app (e.g. `dirigiblelabs/sample-intent-multi-model`): shell theme
-toggle (verify iframe/tab propagation), list / manage / master-detail / document
-perspectives, dialogs, forms (validation timing + pickers), split panels, reports
-(icons + charts + number formatting). Watch the known Selenide UI IT flakiness
-and the split-panel FOUC/`data-size` behavior.

Use this skill whenever the user asks about Alpine.js project structure, file organization, "best practices," scaling beyond a one-page demo, where to put business logic, how to organize stores/components, routing in Alpine, SPA-style page modules, "x-data vs store," CDN versus bundler trade-offs, or how to migrate inline x-data into proper JS modules — even if they don't say "architecture" explicitly. Don't trigger for simple syntax questions or single-component how-tos that have nothing to do with structure.

+/**
+ * Every Harmonia surface conforms to the pinned Harmonia release, as the release itself describes
+ * it.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Harmonia fails in one way nothing else catches: a directive it does not register, a utility class
+ * it does not ship, a button variant it does not know or an icon placeholder it replaces (so the
+ * Alpine bindings on it throw) all render SOMETHING - the element stays unstyled, the class does
+ * nothing, the variant falls back to the default look - and no console, no server log and no DOM
+ * assertion says so. An audit found dozens of such tokens across the shells and the generated
+ * application templates, all of them green through every build.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * So the contract is read out of the pinned webjar rather than restated here: the directive
+ * registry out of {@code dist/harmonia.min.js} (plus the Lucide plugin), the utility allowlist out
+ * of the skill's {@code references/utility-classes.md}, both shipped inside the jar the platform
+ * serves. A Harmonia bump that removes a directive or a class fails this test naming the page and
+ * the token, instead of quietly degrading a page somewhere in the fleet.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Two kinds of input: every Harmonia page on the classpath (the platform shells, the shared shell
+ * views, the tenant picker) and the RENDERED output of the generated-application templates over the
+ * {@code ModelGenerationIT} fixtures - rendered, so Velocity noise never reaches the scan and what
+ * is checked is what a generated application really serves.
