…and-drop transfers (desktop)
Renderer side of the dual-pane file manager, built on the local filesystem
bridge added in the previous PR. Desktop app only; the web build is
unchanged (the toggle is hidden when `window.electronAPI.localFs` is absent).
- New Local pane (LocalFilePane) next to the remote grid, toggled from the
toolbar (Laptop icon); path, visibility and width are remembered in
localStorage (`termix:file-manager:local-pane:*`). Grid and list views,
hidden files toggle, breadcrumb navigation, New Folder.
- Drag files/folders from the Local pane onto the remote grid to upload,
and from the remote grid onto the Local pane to download. Both directions
stream through the main process (`useLocalTransfers`) with a single
progress toast per batch (speed, ETA, cancel). Finder drops onto the
remote grid keep working as before.
- Collision policy for downloads: destinations are checked first; if any
exist the user is asked Replace / Skip for the batch. Skip, dismiss and
timeout all mean skip - nothing is ever replaced without an explicit
click, and the main process enforces the same rule (`EEXIST` unless
`overwrite` is set).
- Drag MIME contract: `application/x-termix-local-files` for local drags,
`application/x-termix-remote-files` marker on the remote grid's internal
drags, so each pane can tell the two apart from Finder drops.
- Transfer targets are described as `{ origin, route, deviceId }`
(`getSessionOrigin` in main-axios) - the renderer never hands the main
process a URL.
- i18n: new `fileManager.local*` keys in en.json only (other locales via
Crowdin).
- Tests: LocalFilePane rendering/navigation, local-transfer-utils
(relative-path planning, size formatting).
Mirrors the remote grid's menu for the user's own disk. On an entry (or the current multi-selection): Open / Open folder, Upload to server, Reveal in Finder/Explorer, Rename (inline, F2), Copy Path, Move to Trash (confirmation toast, Del). On the background: New Folder, New File, Reveal, Show/Hide hidden files, Refresh (F5). Enter opens, Cmd/Ctrl+A selects all, Escape clears the selection. Deletion goes through shell.trashItem so it lands in the OS Trash and is recoverable; rename and create refuse names containing path separators and never overwrite an existing entry.

Drag the boundary at the left edge of a column header (Modified, Owner, Size, Permissions on the remote grid; Modified, Size, Kind in the local pane) to change its width; the Name column takes whatever is left. Double-click a handle to reset that column. Widths are remembered per pane in localStorage. Finishing a drag over a sortable header no longer toggles the sort.

Both the remote grid (list, grid and empty-folder states) and the local pane show a Termius-style ".." row pinned above the entries whenever the current folder has a parent. Double-clicking it goes up one level. It is also a drop target: local files dropped on it upload into the parent folder, remote rows dragged onto it move there, and remote items dropped on the local pane's ".." download into the parent folder.

Right-click a list-view header (remote grid or local pane) to open a Columns menu and tick/untick Modified, Owner, Size, Permissions (remote) or Modified, Size, Kind (local). Hidden columns leave the grid template entirely so the Name column gets the space back; at least one optional column always stays on. The choice is remembered per pane alongside the column widths.

The toolbar's sidebar button now shows/hides the directories panel on desktop (persisted), while below md it still opens the mobile overlay. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013Bn6K6xNAihgWZ5fMVWt1W
