Brings the public tree back in line with the development repo after several
weeks of drift caused by a stale publish include list.
New:
- In-app update path: GET /update/check compares the checkout against
origin/main and POST /update/apply runs `ncp upgrade` detached (pull,
rebuild, restart). The sidebar shows the version, checks on click, and
offers an "update available" pill.
- Projects: a project workspace groups chats and RAG documents, with
per-project instructions and document retrieval scoped to the active
project. Replaces the standalone Documents page.
- modules/: auto-discovered feature plugins (mail, network) with their
frontend counterparts and tests.
- Memory curation runs in-process (synapse/memory/curator.py) on the chat
model when a conversation goes idle. The separate memory service on :8001
is gone, along with the launcher lines that started it.
Also: the KDE theme, panel and Promethean terminal assets, the full test
suite, and VERSION 1.2.0.

Ported from the private repo via bin/publish.sh, plus a manual catch-up
on files that had drifted out of sync before today:
- launch_nexus.ps1: health-check based restart decisions instead of a
bare port-listen check (a wedged leftover process squatting a port
used to look "already running" and block the real service from
starting), a script-path quoting fix for Start-Process, hidden
console via a wscript.exe wrapper (bin/launch_nexus_hidden.vbs), and
a taskbar/window icon for the native app window.
- Sidebar: slim icon+text nav rows instead of bulky bordered buttons,
tighter spacing throughout.
- Settings: full-width layout, a Vite dev-server Start/Stop toggle
(synapse/frontend_manager.py + /frontend/* endpoints), and the
Linux-only Icon Branding section now gated on the new /status
`platform` field instead of always rendering.
- Chatbot: a Think toggle next to the model picker, so extended
thinking can be flipped without leaving the chat page.
- management/ncp.py: faster start/stop polling (0.25s steps instead of
1s), Vite no longer blocks `ncp start` on Linux and is skipped
outright on Windows.
Note: the private repo also has a Mail (IMAP/SMTP) feature; it's
intentionally not included here, so the Mail-only pieces of main.py,
App.jsx, and requirements-windows.txt were left out of this port.
The backend logged 200 OK for polls the client had already timed out on.
is_running() waited 2s for an Ollama that ships OFF (now 0.5s), is_available()
spawned 'ollama --version' every call and that command blocks ~5s when Ollama is
wedged (now cached), and both ran synchronously inside an async def, stalling the
event loop on every poll while the UI polls continuously (now to_thread).
Measured with Ollama's port blackholed: /status 5.89s -> 0.64s, concurrent GET /
stalled -> 0.06s. Poll timeout in nexus_window.py raised 2s -> 5s for margin.

The two black terminals had two causes: uvicorn --reload (a dev flag whose
reloader spawns the server as a child, and Windows gives a console window to a
child of a console-less parent), and DETACHED_PROCESS in launch(), which is
exactly the console-less condition that triggers it. Drops --reload here
(launch_nexus.sh keeps it for the Linux dev loop) and uses CREATE_NO_WINDOW.
The window now opens immediately on an inline 'Loading Nexus core services' page
and navigates to the app once /status answers, instead of waiting 40s offscreen.
