Dialogue · Console redesign

Console redesign.

The admin console's two config pages — System (a five-job junk drawer) and Models (thin, and mirroring half of System) — regrouped into three single-purpose tabs: Status (read-only health), Models (every model role, in one place), and Settings (everything you change, including the grouped visibility grid). Now shipped — this mirrors the live admin.html. Switch tabs in the rail; the toggles, radios and theme are live.

Models

Panel is the only user-facing role — those models fill each user's switcher, the radio sets the default. Every DeepSeek model carries its own reasoning switch. The other roles are admin-only, one model each. Opening's Off retires the opening producer; mid-chat's Mechanical is the deterministic (no-LLM) producer. Claude web search always runs Haiku 4.5.

· What changed from the live console
System → 3 tabs
Status takes the read-only diagnostics, Settings takes every writable knob, Models takes all model selection. The old single System page is retired.
read vs write
The old opening card mixed Python / DB size / parse health (look) with the lone Edit caps action (touch). Split: looking lives in Status, changing lives in Settings.
model roles
The floor-producer model arms move off System › Debug into Models, joined by Dispatch and Panel curator — every model the box runs, picked in one place. Opening gains an explicit Off.
cost split
Today's single chat_cost key becomes two visibility rows — Chat total (chat menu) and Cost capsule (per turn) — so they can be shown independently.
turn stats (new)
A new visibility-gated readout (3 spk · 157w · echo 28% · v1p) replaces the per-capsule length number.
word stat removed
The word_stat Word / 字 capsule stat is dropped; its count folds into Turn stats.
parked decision
hero_model (the chat-menu "current model" readout) sits under Room setting — fold it into the switcher row if it's redundant.
