🌐 Web query:
Does the Web Storage API scope localStorage by the complete origin, including port?
💡 Result:
Yes, the Web Storage API (including localStorage) scopes data by the complete origin, which is defined as a scheme/host/port tuple [1][2]. Because localStorage is partitioned by origin, it treats different ports on the same host as distinct origins [2]. Consequently, a web page served from example.com:8080 has a completely different localStorage area than one served from example.com:3000 or example.com (the default port for the scheme) [3][2]. This behavior aligns with the standard browser Same-Origin Policy, which requires the protocol, host, and port to match for two URLs to be considered the same origin [2]. Storage APIs are strictly separated by this origin definition to ensure that one origin cannot read from or write to the storage area of another [2][4].

Use a stable browser origin for persisted settings.
The ordinary preview binds 127.0.0.1:0, so the OS assigns its port. reader-settings.js stores settings in localStorage. When a later launch uses another port, the browser uses another origin and the saved settings are unavailable.
Use a stable loopback origin or persistence that is not scoped to the generated port.

Fix the Stylelint errors in the font stacks.
The configured value-keyword-case rule reports errors for the unquoted family identifiers. Normalize these identifiers to lowercase so CSS lint can pass.

Conflict resolution, stated loudly: main's v2 reference shell (designed, judged, and released today) takes the contested shell.html.tmpl slot. The branch's reading-first chrome is NOT deleted — reader.css, reader-shell.js, and reader-settings.js stay embedded and served (their JS no-ops without the [data-reader-shell] markup), and the two shell contract tests are skipped with re-graft notes rather than removed. The cmux-embed docs command, this branch's headline, is untouched. RewriteLocalImageURLs restitched onto RenderDoc's struct result.

Problem
The Kitty/Bubble Tea prototype proved that terminal graphics work, but the
rasterized surface is not competitive with a native HTML page for the actual
job: reading documentation. forgectl already has a rich, sanitized loopback
reader, and cmux can host that page beside the invoking terminal without opening
a separate browser window.
This remains exploratory. The PR stays draft until the embedded surface feels
good enough to become the ordinary docs workflow.
Current direction

Run that from a cmux terminal. The intended behavior is a right-hand browser
