`LiquidField.edge`: a place's outline (rect and corner radii). Its outside is one more shape the field's shapes run into, so a shape near the outline joins the edge by a neck, metaball-like, and the outline cuts the glass's coverage, so none of it crosses. The rim and bend come from the joined shape, so there is no rim along the cut. The edge takes the program's last shape slot, flagged 2, so the uniforms keep their layout. `glassBubbles` takes it as `.edge`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The shapes a control of glass is made of (circles, capsules, panels as rounded boxes), the cut of one by its place's outline as a polygon, and shape interpolation: the geometry the orb system builds on, std-only and tested. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…rom the top right `LiquidField.Edge.cut` cuts glass by its place's outline with a bevel and lens band of its own along the cut, rather than joining the place's outside: a piece of glass laid in a corner, bending the border and ring it lies along. `light_across` turns a drop's rim light a quarter, for glass whose edges that show face across the usual light (a place's top-right or bottom-right corner). Both reach `core.dialogs.glassBubbles` as options.
The history's grip moves from the middle of the card's bottom edge, where a split's bar runs, to a vial in its bottom-right corner: the corner orb, with a history icon. Its liquid (`app/Liquid.zig`) sloshes as the pane moves, splashes as steps come and eases up, asking for frames only while it moves. The bar grows out of it as one liquid: its bubbles pulled out small along arcs, joined and then pinching off, the liquid pouring from the vial into the line. A pane's activity feed stacks above the vial.
Going back into a card's corner vial, the bar's bubbles all made for one drop in the middle of the vial's box, larger than the vial and off its centre, and ran together there at the widest merge. So the glass ended as a blob bigger than the vial, which then snapped to the vial's size, and the vial's icon and liquid switched on the frame the bar was gone. The bar now changes into the vial rather than landing beside it. Each bubble arrives as the vial's own circle on the card's corner (`dome.Corner.home`, `dome.pullFrom`). The glass between them lets go over the end (`dome.homeMerge`), since any merge left between coincident circles bulges them. The vial's liquid drains as the stream pours out into the line and refills as it pours back (`dome.paintCornerLiquid`), and its icon shrinks into the corner with the vial and grows back with it (`dome.cornerIcon`). Growing out runs the same way forwards.
A playing tape's bar hid into a dome on the window's bottom edge: hard to notice, and it sat where documents' history vials are now. A tape plays over the whole app, not one document, so its bar now lives at the top centre under the title bar, where the command palette opens. While a tape plays, the bar rests in a glass pill there (`dome.paintPill`): the orb glass of the history vial, and the same living liquid (`Liquid`), its level how far the tape has played. A new chapter splashes it and a seek knocks it. Holding the pointer on the pill (or pressing it) drops the bar down out of it. Its bubbles bud out of the pill and the pill's liquid pours into the scrubber's line. Going back, they change back into the pill and the liquid pours back in, as the history bar does into its vial. The collapse tab hangs under the bar with a chevron up. Captions keep below the bar while it is out, and "Catching up…" moves under it. `Transport.dome` becomes `Transport.rest` and the anchor `demo.dome` becomes `demo.pill`.
…tape The pill under the title bar was easy to see, but in the wrong place. The tape's bar now rests in the window's own bottom-right corner, in the corner glass a document's history rests in (`dome.Corner`), cut by the window's outline instead of a card's and marked with a cassette tape (`Corner.icon`). It is the same orb, with the same living liquid filling as the tape plays, and the same growth and return. The bar grows up out of the corner, right-aligned above it, so it stays clear of the panes' history bars along their bottoms. Its tab sits above it, chevron down. The window's corner radius is published each frame (`core.screens.publishMainRadius`): 0 when maximized or full screen, the OS's otherwise, fizzy's own on Linux. The pill's code goes.

A pane in the window's corner puts its history bar in the band the tape's bar takes over the corner. Each history bar out now says where it is, for the frame (`dome.publishBar`, the rect `HistoryTransport.place` already gives). The tape's bar, drawn after every pane, stands clear above any it would overlap (`dome.barsOut`), easing up and back down as that bar comes and goes, so both show at once. Captions keep above it wherever it is. No bar out, nothing is published.

…e their bubbles, briskly Merges app/history-vial-return, now on the reviewed vial (#635): `Liquid.step(now, pos)` takes no width or depth now. From the user, on #637: - The open bar sits in the middle of the window's bottom, still growing out of the window's corner and going back into it. Its close button covered the history button of a pane in the corner. Each history vial at rest now publishes where it is too (`dome.publishBar`), so the tape's bar stands clear above any vial or history bar under it. - Each icon (prev, play, next, close, the tab's chevron) rides its bubble, scaling and moving with it, and fades with how far that bubble has come. It's gone before the bubbles run together going back, and shows only once they have parted coming out. - The grow and return take 450 ms, down from 620 ms (`bar_grow_us`, 27% shorter), on the same curves. The history bar's own time is unchanged.

## What changes While a demo tape plays, an OS window over the main one (a dialog's, as About Fizzy or the "unsaved changes before quitting?" prompt; a menu's; a float's) no longer draws the tape's caption inside itself, cut off at its bottom edge. The captions, key pills, the transport bar and the "Catching up" pill stay in the main window; the demo's pointer still goes over whatever window it is on. Cause: the popout code hands every layer that takes no input to whichever OS window its middle is over (`Popout.overlaysFrame`). That is what the demo's pointer wants, so it is drawn on the dialog it clicks in, but the tape overlay's captions and bar are layers of the same kind, so one whose middle fell inside a dialog's window was taken from the main window and drawn in the dialog. Fix: the overlay's layers other than the pointer (and a callout placed beside what the pointer acts on, which goes where that is) are marked as the main window's this frame (`core.screens.markMain`, beside `markEverywhere`/`markCarried`), and `overlaysFrame` leaves them to the main window. `windowFrame` (floats) and `menuFrame` already took no such layer. The bar, now drawn under a dialog's OS window rather than over it, would still have taken presses at its rects meant for that window. The app hands the player its OS windows' rects each frame (`replay.Player.Transport.covered`, filled from `Popout.windowsShown` only while a tape is loaded); a press there goes to the window, and the bar's hover clears. Not done (review): folding `markEverywhere`/`markCarried`/`markMenu`/`markMain` into one generic helper. dvui checks a data entry's type name in debug, and `markMenu` is called by plugins built against older `core`, so renaming its type would trip that. Touches the same `app/automation/overlay.zig` as #637, in a different place (the `layer` definition); either rebases trivially over the other. ## SDK impact - [x] Core-only or additive: reaches plugins at the next SDK release (`core.screens.markMain`/`isMain`, new; no fingerprint move) ## Verified - [x] macOS: sandbox profile, main window 900×480, tour started then About Fizzy opened while the title card shows (its middle inside the dialog's window). With this change's check disabled the card was drawn inside the About window, cut at its edges, and gone from the main window (the bug); with it, the card is drawn in the main window behind the dialog and the About window shows only itself. Captured per OS window with screencapture -l. After the review fixes: same check, and paused so the bar shows; it sits under the About window in the main window. After the review fixes: same check, and paused so the bar shows; it sits under the About window in the main window.

- The vial's liquid stays the one simulated liquid through the return. The bar drains it by lowering its level while out and refills it going back, so at the hand-off the surface no longer switches from a still, tipped level to the living one. - The vial's icon is lit by the step's glow and the pointer while it grows back, as at rest, so its colour no longer snaps when the vial takes over. - `pull` and `budded` go: both the dome and the corner call `pullFrom` with their home at the site. - A unit test holds the no-pop properties: a bubble arrives as the home, the home is the vial whole, and no glass merges between them at the end.
- The corner's liquid stays the one simulated liquid through the return. The bar drains it by lowering its level while out and refills it going back, so the hand-off no longer switches surface. The cassette is lit as at rest while it grows back. - A zoomed macOS window keeps its rounded corner for the tape's glass; only full screen (and maximized elsewhere) is square. - The bars registry keeps nothing unless something read it the frame before (a loaded tape), so panes with history do no work for it while no tape plays. Its cap rises to 32. - AUTOMATION.md describes the centred bar; `slot_h`, unused, goes.
