Problem

My Station's bars, sidebars and code structure were audited for simplification and maintainability, but the results existed only outside the repository. That leaves three gaps:

• The traced findings behind fix(station-chrome): animate header insets only on station toggle #1838 and refactor(workstation): remove unreachable My Station code #1841 are not recorded.
• The behaviour defects the audit found are not written down, for example ⌘W closing a tab without the unsaved-changes prompt, and Launchpad reopening a populated Source Control tab with factory defaults.
• The design decisions made in review are not written down either: header icon glyph sizes are intentional, header insets animate only while a station opens or closes, and the chat header has no bottom rule. Without that record, the next pass will likely flag these again.

.claude/CLAUDE.md expects audit reports under docs/<skill>-YYYY-MM-DD/.

Solution

Add the two reports as an audit-only change, with no source edits:

• docs/architecture-audit-2026-09-14/MyStation.md, the architecture audit. It covers:
  • acceptance criteria and layer coverage;
  • 15 behaviour defects, each with evidence and confidence;
  • findings by area: bars, sidebars and panels, tab system and app shell, CodeEditor, other surfaces;
  • the term-overload, new-tab-type default and init-parity tables;
  • suggested PR waves and the keep-with-reason list;
  • closing sections recording what fix(station-chrome): animate header insets only on station toggle #1838 and refactor(workstation): remove unreachable My Station code #1841 apply and what dead code is deliberately left.
• docs/frontend-ui-audit-2026-09-14/MyStationChrome.md, the UI audit of the 36px bars and sidebars: 21 fix, 8 abstract, 12 keep with reason and 1 watch, plus three sweep candidates.

Findings resolved by #1838 or #1841 keep their audited verdicts. The PR that resolves each one is noted beside it, so the reports show what is done and what remains.

Potential risks

• Documentation only, with no runtime, build or configuration effect.
• File and line references point at the audit base, develop 7197f36d4a, and will drift as the code changes. The reports name that base.
• The notes about fix(station-chrome): animate header insets only on station toggle #1838 and refactor(workstation): remove unreachable My Station code #1841 describe open pull requests. If either changes in review or is closed without merging, those notes need a follow-up edit.
• Some findings are code-path claims that were not observed in the app, and each report marks them. These include:
  • Windows drag-region behaviour;
  • the Channels replay header;
  • project replay state;
  • re-render cost.

Verification

• node_modules/.bin/prettier --check on both files passes. Prettier only aligned table columns and inserted blank lines, and the lint-staged hook applied the same formatting on commit.
• git diff --cached --check: clean.
• The notes about fix(station-chrome): animate header insets only on station toggle #1838 and refactor(workstation): remove unreachable My Station code #1841 were checked against the two commits:
  • git show --stat: 14 files; 64 files with 1,902 deletions.
  • The token-file diff shows which L1 and BAR-3 items remain.
  • The test counts match each PR's Verification section.
• Grepped both files for personal paths, tokens and local hostnames: none found.
• Committed from a linked worktree with hooks enabled. lint-staged ran Prettier; the type check and clippy were skipped because no TypeScript or Rust files are staged.
• Not run: no Markdown link checker. The audit's own limits are listed in each report: no app run, no screenshots and no profiling.
