feat: build operator inspector rail and session shell patterns (#1695)

Implements the Atlas cockpit operator surface for the Nexus:

- cockpit.js: frontend operator cockpit module
  - InspectorRail: right-side panel with SESSION/FILES/MEMORY/AGENT tabs
  - SessionStore: session taxonomy (group/tag/pin/archive) via localStorage
    + server sync to cockpit_pty.py
  - GitStatusWidget: branch + dirty badge in workspace HUD
  - CockpitTerminal: xterm.js terminal wired to native PTY via WebSocket
  - Cockpit controller: WS lifecycle, git polling (15s), panel toggles

- cockpit_pty.py: native PTY relay server (ws://127.0.0.1:8766)
  - pty_start / pty_input / pty_resize / pty_exit messages
  - git_status: branch, dirty flag, staged/unstaged/untracked counts,
    ahead/behind upstream
  - session_save / session_load: durable session persistence to disk

- index.html: cockpit toolbar (git badge + INSPECT + SHELL buttons),
  inspector rail mount point, terminal panel, xterm.js CDN scripts

- style.css: inspector rail slide-in, tab nav, session cards,
  git status badges (clean/dirty/error), terminal panel, agent health dots

- docs/ADR-cockpit-shell-boundary.md: ADR-001 choosing native local PTY +
  xterm.js over SSH PTY / ttyd / browser-only pseudo-terminal

- docs/ATLAS_COCKPIT_PATTERNS.md: documents patterns adopted, adapted,
  and rejected from dodo-reach/hermes-desktop, outsourc-e/hermes-workspace,
  nesquena/hermes-webui

+# ADR-001: Cockpit Shell Boundary and Transport Model
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-22
+**Status:** Accepted
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+The Nexus operator cockpit requires a real shell/terminal accessible from the browser UI. The cockpit is a local-first operator tool for managing and observing Timmy, an AI agent running on the operator's machine. The existing Nexus infrastructure consists of:
+
+- `server.py` — Python WebSocket bridge on `ws://127.0.0.1:8765` serving as the main nexus broadcast bus (agent telemetry, portal state, heartbeat)
+- `app.js` + `index.html` — Three.js frontend rendering the 3D world and operator HUD
+
+A shell terminal in the cockpit would let the operator issue commands, tail logs, and interact with Timmy's runtime without leaving the browser UI.
+
+### Options Considered
+
+**Option 1: Native/local PTY via Python `pty` module**
+Spawn a local shell process (e.g. `bash` or `zsh`) using Python's stdlib `pty` module. Stream PTY I/O over a dedicated WebSocket. Render in the browser with xterm.js.
+
+**Option 2: Remote SSH PTY**
+SSH from a backend process into localhost (or a remote host) and relay the SSH PTY stream over WebSocket.
+
+**Option 3: Browser-only pseudo-terminal**
+Implement a fake shell in JavaScript with no real process backing it — command parsing and output simulation only.
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+**Adopt Option 1: Native/local PTY via Python `pty` module, rendered with xterm.js over a dedicated WebSocket at `ws://127.0.0.1:8766`.**
+
+The PTY server (`cockpit_pty.py`) runs as a sidecar alongside `server.py`. It is intentionally kept on a separate port (8766) to avoid coupling shell I/O to the main nexus broadcast bus (8765). The browser-side terminal is rendered with xterm.js, loaded from CDN.
+
+### Rationale
+
+- **Local-first architecture match.** Nexus is explicitly a local-first tool. The operator is always on the same machine as the agent. There is no need for remote shell infrastructure.
+- **Zero external dependencies for the backend.** Python's `pty` module is part of the standard library. No third-party process manager, SSH daemon, or shell relay binary is required.
+- **Separation of concerns.** Keeping shell I/O on a dedicated WebSocket (8766) prevents noisy PTY data from polluting the telemetry/broadcast bus (8765). Each WebSocket has a single clear responsibility.
+- **xterm.js is the canonical browser terminal renderer.** It handles ANSI escape sequences, resize events, and scrollback correctly. Loading from CDN is appropriate for a local operator tool with no offline-first requirement for the terminal component specifically.
+- **Precedent from Atlas UI sources.** The terminal panel split-view pattern was mined from `dodo-reach/hermes-desktop`, which demonstrated that xterm.js + WebSocket relay is a proven, low-friction approach for agent management UIs.
+
+---
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- Real shell access from the browser cockpit with minimal infrastructure.
+- The PTY is a genuine OS-level shell; any CLI tool available on the operator's machine works as expected.
+- The main nexus bus remains clean and single-purpose.
+- xterm.js handles terminal emulation correctly without bespoke ANSI parsing code.
+
+### Negative / Constraints
+
+- A second server process (`cockpit_pty.py`) must be started alongside `server.py`. Operators running Nexus locally must start both, or a launcher script must manage both processes.
+- The shell terminal is **only accessible when running locally.** This is intentional — the cockpit is a local operator tool, not a remote management surface. No remote access is provided by design.
+- xterm.js is loaded from CDN. If the operator has no internet access at startup, the terminal panel will not render. (This is acceptable given the local-first context; the 3D world and agent telemetry do not depend on xterm.js.)
+- `cockpit_pty.py` is a trusted-localhost-only server. It must not be exposed beyond `127.0.0.1`. No auth is implemented; the local-only bind address is the security boundary.
+
+---
+
+## Rejected Alternatives
+
+### Option 2: SSH PTY
+
+Rejected. SSH introduces key management overhead (keygen, authorized_keys, known_hosts) that is entirely unnecessary for a local-only tool. Connecting to localhost via SSH to relay a PTY that is already local adds latency and complexity with no benefit. Python `pty` does the same job from a single stdlib import.
+
+### Option 3: Browser-only pseudo-terminal
+
+Rejected. A fake shell with no real process backing it does not provide genuine shell access. The operator cockpit requires the ability to run real commands — tail logs, inspect files, restart processes — not a simulated command interface.
+
+### ttyd / wetty
+
+Rejected. Both are capable tools, but they are heavy external dependencies (Go binary, Node.js process) for a problem that Python's stdlib `pty` module solves directly. Introducing an external binary creates installation friction and diverges from the "minimal sidecar" model appropriate for a local operator tool.

+## Nexus Operator Cockpit — Atlas UI Pattern Audit
+
+This document catalogs which UI/UX patterns were adopted, adapted, or rejected from three Atlas source repositories when designing the Nexus operator cockpit. The Nexus cockpit is a browser-based operator terminal for managing and observing Timmy, a local-first AI agent. Its architecture is documented in `ADR-cockpit-shell-boundary.md`.

+
+## Source Repositories
+
+| Repo | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `dodo-reach/hermes-desktop` | Desktop Electron app for Hermes agent management |
+| `outsourc-e/hermes-workspace` | Workspace management UI with inspector rails |
+| `nesquena/hermes-webui` | Web UI for Hermes with session management |
+
+---
+
+## dodo-reach/hermes-desktop
+
+### What Was Audited
+
+- Terminal panel implementation (xterm.js integration, shell spawning via Electron IPC)
+- Agent status indicator components in the sidebar
+- Split-view panel layout (terminal pane + agent detail pane)
+- Native OS notification hooks
+- Electron main/renderer IPC patterns for shell relay
+
+### Adopted
+
+**Terminal panel split-view layout**
+The resizable split-panel layout pairing a terminal pane with a detail/inspector pane was adopted directly. Nexus uses the same conceptual arrangement: xterm.js fills one panel, agent telemetry fills the adjacent panel. The resize handle behavior and panel persistence are modeled on hermes-desktop's approach. The underlying mechanism differs (WebSocket PTY vs. Electron IPC) but the visual model is the same.
+
+**Agent status indicators in the inspector rail**
+The health dot + status label pattern — a colored dot (green/amber/red) paired with a short text label — was adopted for Nexus's agent status display. hermes-desktop demonstrated this as a scannable, low-noise way to convey agent health at a glance without requiring the operator to parse log output.
+
+### Adapted
+
+_(none — the above adoptions were clean lifts; hermes-desktop patterns that didn't fit Nexus were rejected rather than adapted)_
+
+### Rejected
+
+**Electron-specific IPC for shell access**
+hermes-desktop uses Electron's `ipcMain`/`ipcRenderer` bridge to relay PTY I/O between the Node.js main process and the browser renderer. This is Electron-specific infrastructure. Nexus runs in a plain browser, not Electron. The PTY relay is instead handled by `cockpit_pty.py` over WebSocket (see ADR-001). The outcome is the same; the transport is different.
+
+**Native OS notifications**
+hermes-desktop hooks into the OS notification system (via Electron's `Notification` API) to surface agent events when the window is backgrounded. Nexus does not use this. The cockpit is a focused local operator tool; the operator is expected to be watching the UI. Backgrounded notifications add complexity without a clear benefit in the Nexus usage model.
+
+---
+
+## outsourc-e/hermes-workspace
+
+### What Was Audited
+
+- Inspector right rail with tabbed section navigation
+- Git status badge and repository state display
+- Multi-workspace switcher and workspace metadata
+- Cloud sync hooks and session persistence model
+- File browser panel integration
+
+### Adapted
+
+**Inspector right rail with tabbed sections**
+hermes-workspace uses a right inspector rail with six tabs (Overview, Files, Git, Environment, Connections, Settings). This was adapted for Nexus: simplified to four tabs — SESSION, FILES, MEMORY, AGENT — reflecting that Nexus is 3D-world-first, not workspace-first. Tabs specific to multi-workspace management and cloud connections were removed. The tab rail layout itself (fixed-width right panel, icon + label tabs, scrollable tab body) is retained.
+
+**Git status badge**
+hermes-workspace renders a full inline diff view in the Git tab, including staged/unstaged file lists and diff hunks. This was adapted for Nexus: the git state display is reduced to a branch name + dirty flag indicator (`main *` or `main`). The Nexus cockpit is not a git client; operators who need full diff inspection use their normal tools. The branch/dirty indicator is sufficient for the cockpit context.
+
+### Rejected
+
+**Cloud sync for sessions**
+hermes-workspace syncs session state to a remote store. Nexus is local-first by design. Session state lives on disk locally. No cloud sync infrastructure is introduced.
+
+**Multi-workspace concept**
+hermes-workspace is built around switching between multiple named workspaces. Nexus has a single sovereign workspace: the local Nexus installation. The workspace switcher, workspace metadata, and associated navigation are not applicable.
+
+---
+
+## nesquena/hermes-webui
+
+### What Was Audited
+
+- Session list sidebar and session lifecycle management
+- Session taxonomy model (grouping, tagging, pinning, archiving)
+- OAuth login flow and user account management
+- User account switcher and multi-user session isolation
+
+### Adopted
+
+**Session taxonomy model**
+hermes-webui treats group, tag, pin, and archive as first-class session primitives with explicit UI affordances for each. This taxonomy was adopted for the Nexus session list. Sessions (Timmy interaction threads) can be grouped by context, tagged with free-form labels, pinned to the top of the list, and archived out of the active view. The four-primitive model maps cleanly to the Nexus usage pattern without modification.
+
+**Session list sidebar pattern**
+The session list sidebar layout — fixed-width left panel, chronological session list with inline metadata (last active, tag chips, pin indicator), and a new-session affordance at the top — was adopted. hermes-webui demonstrated this as an effective pattern for navigating a growing list of agent sessions. Nexus uses the same structural layout.
+
+### Rejected
+
+**OAuth / login flow**
+hermes-webui implements a full OAuth login flow (provider selection, token exchange, session persistence tied to user identity). Nexus is a single-operator local tool. There is no authentication layer. The operator is the machine owner; the local-only bind addresses on `server.py` and `cockpit_pty.py` are the security boundary. No login flow is implemented or needed.
+
+**User accounts and multi-user session isolation**
+hermes-webui supports multiple user accounts with isolated session namespaces. Nexus operates under a single-operator model. Session ownership, user switching, and per-user isolation are not applicable concepts. All sessions belong to the local operator.
+
