Jaroslav Beneš a071d8486b Live Markdown, stop, rewind, custom picker, dialogs
Seven things.

**Reasoning starts closed.** The answer is what the reader is waiting
for; the thinking is one click away.

**Image borders.** .attachments__image was a block-level <a>, so its
border stretched the full column around a narrow picture. inline-block,
and the frame is the picture. Same fix for the composer thumbnail.

**Markdown now renders during the stream.** The generator re-renders the
answer so far and sends it as a `render` event at most every 100ms,
swapped with innerHTML, instead of appending escaped tokens and
formatting everything at the end. Re-rendering whole rather than
appending is the point: a list or a code fence is only correct once its
context exists, and partial syntax resolves itself as more arrives.
Measured against a live model: 29 render events, formatting visible from
the first content token.

**Stop button.** A stop request goes into an in-process set the
generator checks between chunks; whatever arrived is kept, because a
half-written answer the reader chose to cut short is still worth having.
Measured: stream ended 0.2s after the request, 1155 characters
preserved, message marked stopped rather than errored. Navigating away
does the same thing via CancelledError.

**Rewind and edit.** Edit one of your own turns and everything after it
is deleted, then the conversation runs on from there. Deliberately not
branching: that needs a UI for choosing between versions, and "go back
and try again from here" is what was asked for. The form states how many
messages will be discarded before you confirm.

**Custom model picker.** A <select> renders only text in an <option>, so
it can never show an avatar. Built from buttons and a hidden input, with
descriptions, capability tags, a filter box past eight models, and
arrow-key navigation written out by hand since there is no native widget
doing it.

**Notification system.** lembas.notify/confirm/prompt in ui.js, built on
<dialog> so focus trapping, Escape and page inertness come from the
browser. htmx:confirm is intercepted, so every existing hx-confirm gets
the themed dialog with no change at the call site; the browser's grey
confirm() is gone from every template.

Jaroslav Beneš 7b67568f2c Fix bulk actions, create chats lazily, rework the UI
Seven reported problems.

**Bulk model actions 404'd.** /admin/models/{model_id} was registered
before /admin/models/bulk, and FastAPI matches in registration order, so
"bulk" was parsed as a model id. Moved above the parameterised route,
with a comment saying why, and a regression test.

**Empty chats piled up.** There is now no endpoint that creates one.
"New chat" is a link to /chat, which renders a composer with no row
behind it, and POST /api/chats/start writes the chat together with its
first message. Opening one and walking away leaves nothing.

**Pinning meant two different things.** The picker is now always in the
administrator's position order; pinned models get shortcuts in the chat
sidebar and nothing else. A picker whose order silently differs from the
admin screen is just confusing.

**Model images were missing in chat.** Assistant bubbles now show the
avatar of the model that actually wrote the turn -- which is not always
the model the chat is set to now -- falling back to the LLeMbas mark.
The picker shows it too.

**No global or per-model system prompt.** Three layers now: instance
(Admin -> General), model (Admin -> Models), chat. Precedence, not
concatenation: most specific wins outright. Stacking them reads well in
a settings screen and badly in practice, because two layers that
disagree give the model contradictory instructions and nobody can tell
which is losing. The chat panel shows the inherited prompt as
placeholder text so "leave empty to inherit" is not a guess.

**Alignment and button sizing.** Added --control-h and friends to
tokens.css; every button, input and select takes its height from them,
so a mixed row is flush by construction rather than by per-instance
nudging. Icon buttons are square at that height. Added .btn-row,
.card__header/.card__footer and .grid so pages stop carrying inline
styles, and moved every admin page onto them.

**Settings needed structure.** The user settings page is now tabbed
(Account / Models / Appearance / Security) using radio inputs and
sibling selectors -- no JavaScript, and the browser keeps the chosen tab
across a re-render.

Caught while checking: the chat.css surgery had deleted the attachment,
chip and dropzone rules. Restored, and there is now a check that every
literal class used in a template has a CSS rule.

Jaroslav Beneš dd9e0e9440 Working chat: auth, connections, streaming, folders
LLeMbas now runs end to end. Register, add an OpenAI-compatible
connection, and hold a real streaming conversation organised into
folders. Verified against the local llama-swap instance.

Streaming is the one genuinely tricky part. Sending a message returns
two HTML fragments -- the user bubble and an empty assistant bubble
carrying an sse-connect -- and that attribute is the ONLY thing that
starts a generation. Rendering an incomplete assistant message as a
streaming shell falls out of the same template, which means loading a
page whose last reply never finished simply picks it up again.

Details worth knowing about, each commented where it matters:

- SSE payloads are split across several data: lines. A raw newline in
  one data: line truncates the event, which shows up the first time a
  model emits a code block.
- Markdown is rendered server-side by the same helper for both the page
  and the final streamed frame, so the two cannot disagree. The fence
  renderer is replaced outright rather than using markdown-it's
  highlight option, which re-wraps output in a second <pre>.
- escape_text is html.escape, not nh3.clean_text: it escapes character
  by character, so escaping stream chunks separately equals escaping
  the whole string.
- The stream opens its own session via session_scope(); it outlives the
  request handler and the dependency-scoped session may be closed.
- Deleting a folder keeps the chats inside it (FK is SET NULL). Losing
  a conversation to a mis-clicked folder delete is unforgivable.
- Login failures use one message for "no such account" and "wrong
  password" so the form cannot enumerate registered addresses.

Also adds deploy/ for the gamebox install at https://chat.lan: system
unit, nginx vhost with buffering off (buffering on turns streaming into
one lump at the end), and install/update scripts following the same
service-user and /srv bind-mount conventions as llama-swap and comfyui.

70 tests, ruff clean.
