-Project: @design.estate/dees-catalog
-Purpose: A component library of dynamic Web Components (TypeScript) for building modern web apps.
-Tech stack: TypeScript (ES2022, NodeNext), decorators, custom elements via @design.estate/dees-element (Lit-style), bundling with esbuild via @git.zone/tsbundle, TypeScript building via @git.zone/tsbuild (tsfolders), tests with @git.zone/tstest, various UI libs (tiptap, apexcharts, monaco-editor runtime via CDN), DOM helpers via @design.estate/dees-domtools.
-Structure: 
-- ts_web/: source of web components and pages
-- dist_ts_web/: transpiled TS output
-- dist_bundle/: production bundle (bundle.js + map)
-- test/: tests
-- html/: static demo assets
-Key configs: tsconfig.json sets ES2022, NodeNext module/resolution, decorators enabled, skipLibCheck enabled to avoid third-party d.ts issues.
-Entrypoints: ts_web/index.ts for bundling; custom elements annotated with @customElement.

-Language: TypeScript, ES2022 target, NodeNext module + resolution.
-Patterns: Web Components with @customElement decorators; class-based components extending DeesElement; styles via css/cssManager; template render via html tagged literal.
-Typing: Prefer explicit types where practical; tolerate `any` for external browser-injected libs (e.g., monaco) to keep build healthy.
-Config: skipLibCheck enabled to avoid third-party d.ts breakages; exclude built declaration outputs.
-Formatting/Linting: Not explicitly configured; follow existing style (2-space indents, single quotes often, semicolons present).

 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-12-30 - 3.13.0 - feat(editor/runtime)
+Replace bare editor with Monaco-based editor and add runtime + workspace/filetree integration
+
+- Removed dees-editor-bare and replaced usages with dees-editor-monaco (includes MONACO_VERSION file).
+- Added IExecutionEnvironment interface and WebContainerEnvironment implementation (uses @webcontainer/api) to provide a browser Node/runtime API.
+- Added new components: dees-editor-filetree and dees-editor-workspace to support file tree, multiple open files, and workspace actions wired to the execution environment.
+- dees-terminal updated to accept an executionEnvironment (IExecutionEnvironment), renamed environment -> environmentVariables, provides environmentPromise (deprecated note), and now initializes/uses the provided environment to spawn shell processes and write /source.env.
+- Updated imports/usages across components (dees-input-code, dees-editor-markdown, group index exports) to use the new Monaco editor and runtime modules.
+- Behavioral breaking changes: consumers must supply an IExecutionEnvironment to components that now depend on it (e.g. dees-terminal, workspace, filetree); dees-editor-bare removal is a breaking API change.
+
+## 2025-12-30 - 3.12.2 - fix(dees-editor-bare)
+make Monaco editor follow domtools theme and clean up theme subscription on disconnect
+
+- Set initial Monaco theme from domtools.themeManager.goBrightBoolean instead of hardcoded 'vs-dark'
+- Subscribe to domtools.themeManager.themeObservable to update editor theme dynamically
+- Add monacoThemeSubscription property and unsubscribe in disconnectedCallback to avoid memory leaks
+
+## 2025-12-30 - 3.12.1 - fix(modal)
+fix modal editor layout to prevent overlap by adding relative positioning and reducing height
+
+- Added Playwright screenshots: .playwright-mcp/dees-input-code-demo.png and .playwright-mcp/modal-overlap-issue.png
+- Updated ts_web/elements/00group-input/dees-input-code/dees-input-code.ts: modal-editor-wrapper set position: relative and changed height from calc(100vh - 160px) to calc(100vh - 175px) to avoid overlap
+
+## 2025-12-30 - 3.12.0 - feat(editor)
+add code input component and editor-bare, replace dees-editor usage, and add modal contentPadding
+
+- Add new dees-input-code component (full-featured code editor input with modal, toolbar, language selector, copy and wrap toggles).
+- Introduce dees-editor-bare component and remove the legacy dees-editor implementation; update editor markdown component to use dees-editor-bare.
+- Export and include DeesInputCode in input index and include it in the unified form input types and dees-form usage.
+- Add contentPadding property to DeesModal and apply it to the modal content area (configurable modal inner padding).
+- Update element exports to point to dees-editor-bare and adjust related imports/usages.
+- Bump devDependency @design.estate/dees-wcctools from ^3.3.0 to ^3.4.0 in package.json
+
+## 2025-12-30 - 3.11.2 - fix(tests)
+make WYSIWYG tests more robust and deterministic by initializing and attaching elements consistently, awaiting customElements/firstUpdated, adjusting selectors and assertions, and cleaning up DOM after tests
+
+- Create WYSIWYG elements with document.createElement and set properties before attaching to DOM to ensure firstUpdated sees data
+- Await customElements.whenDefined and add small delays (setTimeout) so nested components finish rendering in test environments
+- Replace outdated selectors (.block.code) with .code-editor and update expectations for code block selection and language controls
+- Adjust divider expectations to check for <hr> and data-block-id instead of a divider icon; change toBeDefined -> toBeTruthy for assertions where appropriate
+- Add cleanup (document.body.removeChild) after tests to avoid leaking elements between tests
+- Relax computed font-family assertion to be platform-agnostic and verify that a fontFamily exists rather than matching 'monospace'
+- Add notes/guards around synthetic DragEvent/KeyboardEvent behavior: verify handlers/state existence and dispatch events but avoid relying on native focus/drag internals in CI
+- Update BlockRegistry render tests to assert template structure (data-block-id, data-block-type, class names) rather than final content which is populated later
+
+## 2025-12-30 - 3.11.1 - fix(tests)
+migrate tests to @git.zone/tstest tapbundle and export tap.start() in browser tests
+
+- Replaced imports from @push.rocks/tapbundle to @git.zone/tstest/tapbundle across test files
+- Replaced bare tap.start() calls with export default tap.start() in browser test files so the runner can be imported
+- Bumped devDependency @git.zone/tstest from ^3.1.3 to ^3.1.4 and removed @push.rocks/tapbundle from devDependencies
+- Changes include package.json and updates to multiple test files (11 test files)
+
+## 2025-12-30 - 3.11.0 - feat(dees-appui-tabs)
+improve horizontal tabs UX with scroll fades, hover scrollbar, and smooth scroll-to-selected
+
+- Add reactive scroll state (canScrollLeft / canScrollRight) and updateScrollState to track horizontal overflow.
+- Introduce scroll-fade gradient elements and CSS to indicate overflow on left/right edges.
+- Show a thin, styled scrollbar on hover (webkit + Firefox styling) instead of hiding it completely.
+- Auto-scroll selected tab into view using scrollTabIntoView and smooth scroll when selecting a tab.
+- Set up a ResizeObserver to recompute scroll state on container size changes and clean it up on disconnect.
+- Ensure lifecycle hooks call updateScrollState (firstUpdated/updated) so indicators stay in sync after render/fonts ready.
+
+## 2025-12-29 - 3.10.0 - feat(appui-tabs)
+add closeable tabs and auto-hide behavior for content tabs, plus API and events to control them
+
+- Add closeable tab support: IMenuItem.closeable & IMenuItem.onClose; dees-appui-tabs renders a close button, invokes onClose, and emits a 'tab-close' event.
+- Add auto-hide feature: dees-appui-tabs (autoHide, autoHideThreshold) and corresponding properties in dees-appui-maincontent/dees-appui-base to hide tabs when count ≤ threshold.
+- Expose new API: dees-appui-base.setContentTabsAutoHide(enabled, threshold) and update appconfig interface to include setContentTabsAutoHide.
+- Re-emit 'tab-close' events from dees-appui-maincontent and dees-appui-base so parent components can react to tab closures.
+- Add interactive demos (demo-closeable-tabs, demo-autohide-tabs) demonstrating the new closeable and auto-hide behaviors and controls.
+
+## 2025-12-29 - 3.9.0 - feat(dees-appui-mainmenu)
+add status badges to main menu items with theme-aware styling
+
+- Introduce .badge element and layout (min-width, height, padding, font-size, weight, border-radius) to display counts/status on menu items.
+- Add four badge variants: default, success, warning, error, using cssManager.bdTheme for light/dark color pairs.
+- Render the badge element conditionally in the menu item template when tabArg.badge is provided; hide badges when host has [collapsed] attribute.
+
+## 2025-12-29 - 3.8.0 - feat(dees-appui-base)
+add interactive demo controls to manipulate appui via view activation context
+
+- Store IViewActivationContext on the demo element (this.ctx) during onActivate
+- Add a new "Context Actions" UI section with buttons that call ctx.appui methods (toggle main/secondary menus, content tabs, collapse/expand main menu, set breadcrumbs, navigate to views, add activity entry, set/clear menu badges)
+- Include styles for ctx-actions and button variants (success, danger, hover states)
+- Change is limited to the demo file (dees-appui-base.demo.ts) and is non-breaking
+
+## 2025-12-29 - 3.7.1 - fix(dees-appui-maincontent)
+migrate main content layout to CSS Grid and enable topbar collapse transitions
+
+- Replace absolute positioning with CSS Grid on :host and .maincontainer to enable natural document flow
+- Make .topbar a grid and animate collapse via grid-template-rows; switch :host([notabs]) to grid-template-rows: 0fr instead of display:none to allow transitions
+- Set .maincontainer to display:contents and add min-height:0 on content areas and topbar children to fix overflow/scrolling and flex/grid height issues
+- Remove positional styles (position:absolute/top/left/right/bottom) so content scrolls correctly and layout is more robust
+
+## 2025-12-29 - 3.7.0 - feat(dees-contextmenu,dees-appui-tabs,test)
+Prevent double-destruction of context menus, await window layer teardown, update destroyAll behavior, remove tabs content slot, and adjust tests
+
+- Add isDestroying guard in DeesContextmenu.destroy to avoid double-destruction.
+- Await windowLayer.destroy() to ensure the window layer is fully torn down before continuing.
+- Ensure submenu timeouts are cleared and submenu.destroy() is awaited during teardown.
+- Change destroyAll to locate the root/top-level menu and destroy from the root to cascade teardown reliably.
+- Remove the .content wrapper and the <slot> output from dees-appui-tabs (demo updated to render content outside the component) — this is a breaking change to the tabs API (slotted content no longer rendered).
+- Increase test timeout in test.contextmenu-nested-close.browser.ts to 600ms to account for ~300ms windowLayer destruction + ~100ms context menu delay.
+
+## 2025-12-29 - 3.6.1 - fix(readme)
+document new App UI APIs to control main/secondary menu and content tabs visibility
+
+- Added docs for setMainMenuCollapsed(), setMainMenuVisible(), setSecondaryMenuCollapsed(), setSecondaryMenuVisible(), and setContentTabsVisible() programmatic APIs.
+- Included a TypeScript example showing how to hide secondary menu, hide content tabs, and collapse the main menu in a view's onActivate hook.
+
+## 2025-12-29 - 3.6.0 - feat(dees-appui)
+add visibility toggles for main/secondary menus and ability to show/hide content tabs; expose corresponding setters and appconfig entries
+
+- ts_web/elements/00group-appui/dees-appui-base: added boolean properties mainmenuVisible, secondarymenuVisible, maincontentTabsVisible; render main and secondary menus conditionally; pass showTabs to dees-appui-maincontent; added setter methods: setMainMenuVisible, setSecondaryMenuCollapsed, setSecondaryMenuVisible, setContentTabsVisible.
+- ts_web/elements/00group-appui/dees-appui-maincontent: added showTabs property, support for a notabs attribute via styles, updated() and firstUpdated() to apply notabs state so tabs can be hidden/shown dynamically.
+- ts_web/elements/interfaces/appconfig.ts: expanded appconfig interface to include setMainMenuVisible, setSecondaryMenuCollapsed, setSecondaryMenuVisible, setContentTabsVisible so host app can control visibility programmatically.
+- No breaking changes: defaults preserve existing behavior (menus and tabs remain visible by default).
+
+## 2025-12-29 - 3.5.1 - fix(dees-appui-view)
+remove DeesAppuiView component, its demo, documentation snippet, and related exports
+
+- Deleted component implementation: ts_web/elements/00group-appui/dees-appui-view/dees-appui-view.ts
+- Deleted demo file: ts_web/elements/00group-appui/dees-appui-view/dees-appui-view.demo.ts
+- Removed index re-export: ts_web/elements/00group-appui/dees-appui-view/index.ts (deleted) and removed export from ts_web/elements/00group-appui/index.ts
+- Removed documentation section for DeesAppuiView from readme.md
+- Breaking change: any consumers using the <dees-appui-view> component or its public API (selectTab, getMenuItems, getTabs) must be migrated to alternate components/approach
+
+## 2025-12-29 - 3.5.0 - feat(theme,interfaces)
+Introduce a global theming system and unify menu/tab interfaces; migrate components to use themeDefaultStyles and update APIs accordingly
+
+- Add a new theme module and component (00theme.ts + dees-theme) that provides CSS tokens and themeDefaultStyles to import into components
+- Migrate many components to include themeDefaultStyles in their static styles and add TODOs to replace hardcoded values with CSS variables
+- Rename ITab -> IMenuItem and replace group.tabs with group.items across interfaces and components (IMenuGroup shape changed) — this is a breaking API change
+- Remove legacy interfaces (ISecondaryMenuGroup, ISelectionOption) and update method and property types in DeesAppui* components and app config to use IMenuItem/IMenuGroup
+- Move @design.estate/dees-wcctools from dependencies to devDependencies and bump its version to ^3.3.0
+- Add numerous demo files and expand README with usage, examples and theme documentation
+
+## 2025-12-19 - 3.4.0 - feat(dees-appui-base)
+overhaul AppUI core: replace simple view rendering with a full-featured ViewRegistry (caching, hide/show lifecycle, async lazy-loading), introduce view lifecycle hooks and activation context, add activity log API/component, remove built-in router and state manager, and update configuration interfaces and demos
+
+- Removed files: app.router.ts and state.manager.ts — routing and state-persistence internals were removed (breaking).
+- ViewRegistry rewritten: supports cached instances, activate/deactivate lifecycle, canDeactivate checks, async content loading, parameterized routes, and legacy renderView kept as deprecated compatibility.
+- New interfaces added/changed: IViewActivationContext, IViewLifecycle, IActivityEntry, IActivityLogAPI, IViewLifecycleEvent; IViewDefinition.content now accepts async loaders and a cache flag; IMainMenuConfig and ITab expanded (logo, groups, badges).
+- Activity log: dees-appui-activitylog now implements IActivityLogAPI and exposes reactive entries; demo and readme updated with usage and examples.
+- App config changed: routing and statePersistence config entries removed/adjusted; defaultView moved into IAppConfig; view change and lifecycle event shapes changed (breaking).
+- Demos and documentation: dees-appui-base demo and readme added/updated to showcase new lifecycle hooks, secondary menu behavior, activity log and new APIs.
+
+## 2025-12-19 - 3.3.3 - fix(tests)
+update test imports to new dees-input-wysiwyg paths
+
+- Updated imports in test/test.wysiwyg-registry.both.ts to point to ts_web/elements/00group-input/dees-input-wysiwyg/*
+- Aligns test references with relocated WYSIWYG block handlers and block registration module; no behavior changes to implementation
+
+## 2025-12-19 - 3.3.2 - fix(build)
+update build config, bump dependencies, and adjust test import paths after element reorganization
+
+- npmextra.json: renamed gitzone entry to @git.zone/cli, moved tsdoc key to @git.zone/tsdoc, added @ship.zone/szci entry and added release registries + accessLevel
+- package.json: bumped @design.estate/dees-wcctools ^2.0.1 -> ^3.1.0, lucide ^0.560.0 -> ^0.562.0, @git.zone/tsbuild ^3.1.2 -> ^4.0.2, @types/node ^25.0.0 -> ^25.0.3
+- tests: updated import paths to follow reorganized source layout (wysiwyg files moved under elements/00group-input/dees-input-wysiwyg and dees-contextmenu moved to elements/dees-contextmenu/dees-contextmenu.js); updated BlockRegistry and blockregistration import paths
+- Purpose: align tests and build metadata with refactored element file locations and updated tool/dependency versions
+
+## 2025-12-11 - 3.3.1 - fix(dees-pdf-viewer)
+Scroll active PDF thumbnail into view after rendering and on page changes; update dependency versions
+
+- Ensure the active thumbnail is scrolled into view after thumbnails are rendered (improves sidebar navigation for dees-pdf-viewer).
+- Scroll the thumbnail into view when navigating pages if the sidebar is visible (prevents the active page from being off-screen).
+- Retain re-setup of the intersection observer for lazy-loading pages after thumbnail re-render.
+- Bumped dependencies in package.json: @design.estate/dees-wcctools -> ^2.0.1, lucide -> ^0.560.0, @git.zone/tswatch -> ^2.3.13, @types/node -> ^25.0.0.
+
+## 2025-12-09 - 3.3.0 - feat(dees-appui-base)
+Add unified App UI API to dees-appui-base with ViewRegistry, AppRouter and StateManager
+
+- Introduce ViewRegistry for declarative view registration and rendering (supports tag names, element classes and template functions).
+- Add AppRouter with hash/history/external/none modes, URL synchronization, navigate/back/forward and onRouteChange listener support.
+- Add StateManager to persist UI state (localStorage, sessionStorage or in-memory) with save/load/update/clear APIs.
+- Extend interfaces (interfaces/appconfig.ts) with IAppConfig, IViewDefinition, IRoutingConfig, IStatePersistenceConfig and IAppUIState.
+- Expose new public DeesAppuiBase methods: configure, navigateToView, getCurrentView, getUIState, restoreUIState, saveState, loadState, getViewRegistry, getRouter.
+- Maintain backward compatibility with existing property-based API and slot usage.
+- Export new modules (view.registry, app.router, state.manager) from dees-appui-base index and update element exports.
+
+## 2025-12-08 - 3.2.0 - feat(dees-simple-appdash,dees-simple-login,dees-terminal)
+Revamp UI: dashboard & login styling, standardize icons to Lucide, and add terminal background/config
+
+- Standardize icon usage to Lucide prefixes in dees-simple-appdash; add fallback handling for legacy icon names
+- Revamped dees-simple-appdash sidebar: updated spacing, typography, header icon wrapper, scrollbar styling, section labels, hover/selected states, and visual indicators
+- Change 'Logout' label to 'Sign out' in dees-simple-appdash and add explicit status classes for controlbar (connected, terminal)
+- Improve terminal UX: smoother launch/close animations, updated shadow and sizing logic in dees-simple-appdash
+- Add background property to dees-terminal, sync it to a CSS variable and apply it to xterm theme for configurable terminal background
+- Redesign dees-simple-login: new header/subheader, card layout, spacing, and updated submit text to 'Sign in'
+- Bump devDependency @git.zone/tswatch to ^2.3.5
+
+## 2025-12-08 - 3.1.2 - fix(DeesAppuiMainmenu, DeesAppuiSecondarymenu)
+Add position: relative to main and secondary app UI menus to fix positioning of overlays and tooltips
+
+- ts_web/elements/00group-appui/dees-appui-mainmenu/dees-appui-mainmenu.ts: add `position: relative` to host styles
+- ts_web/elements/00group-appui/dees-appui-secondarymenu/dees-appui-secondarymenu.ts: add `position: relative` to host styles
+- Fixes incorrect positioning for absolutely positioned children (tooltips, overlays, badges) inside the main and secondary menus
+
+## 2025-12-08 - 3.1.1 - fix(dees-appui)
+Extract demos for main and secondary app menus, adjust collapsed styles and toggle placement, bump devDependency
+
+- Extracted inline demo markup into separate demo files: ts_web/elements/00group-appui/dees-appui-mainmenu/dees-appui-mainmenu.demo.ts and ts_web/elements/00group-appui/dees-appui-secondarymenu/dees-appui-secondarymenu.demo.ts and wired them up via imported demoFunc to reduce component size.
+- Moved collapse toggle button markup in both dees-appui-mainmenu and dees-appui-secondarymenu templates to after the main container to improve layout/stacking and focus behavior.
+- Adjusted collapsed logo/heading styles: removed extra padding/gap and hide logo text using display:none for a cleaner collapsed state.
+- Bumped devDependency @git.zone/tswatch from ^2.3.1 to ^2.3.2 in package.json.
+
+## 2025-12-08 - 3.1.0 - feat(dees-appui)
+Add collapsible/compact mode to AppUI sidebars (mainmenu & secondarymenu) with toggles, tooltips and improved z-index stacking
+
+- Add collapsed property to dees-appui-mainmenu and dees-appui-secondarymenu (reflect: true) to enable compact horizontal mode.
+- Add floating collapse toggle buttons and public toggleCollapse() methods on mainmenu and secondarymenu; these dispatch 'collapse-change' events (bubbles & composed).
+- Expose and track collapse state in dees-appui-base via mainmenuCollapsed and secondarymenuCollapsed properties; bind states to child components and re-emit collapse-change events as mainmenu-collapse-change and secondarymenu-collapse-change.
+- Implement collapsed styles and animations: reduced sidebar widths, hide/compact labels and headers, center icons, hide badges, and add smooth width/opacity transitions.
+- Add tooltips that appear for tabs/items when sidebars are collapsed to preserve discoverability.
+- Adjust layout grid in DeesAppuiBase (use auto columns) and add explicit z-index layering to ensure proper stacking order of mainmenu, secondarymenu, maincontent and activitylog.
+
+## 2025-12-08 - 3.0.1 - fix(dees-appui)
+Normalize header heights and box-sizing for App UI components
+
+- Set topbar/header heights to 48px (was 40px) and adjusted dependent offsets (activity container top, topShadow position) in dees-appui-activitylog.
+- Make logo and secondary menu headers fixed 48px tall and replace vertical padding with horizontal padding for consistent vertical alignment (dees-appui-mainmenu, dees-appui-secondarymenu).
+- Ensure tabs wrapper uses explicit 48px height and tabsContainer fills height (height:100%) to keep tab items vertically centered (dees-appui-tabs).
+- Add box-sizing: border-box to affected header/logo containers to prevent overflow and ensure correct sizing.
+- Minor CSS alignment and overflow fixes to improve consistent layout and scrolling behavior across the app UI components.
+
+## 2025-12-08 - 3.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(dees-appui-secondarymenu)
+Add SecondaryMenu component and replace Mainselector with new SecondaryMenu in AppUI
+
+- Add dees-appui-secondarymenu component: collapsible groups, badges, dynamic heading, context menu and legacy flat-options support
+- Introduce interfaces ISecondaryMenuItem and ISecondaryMenuGroup under elements/interfaces
+- Replace dees-appui-mainselector usage with dees-appui-secondarymenu in DeesAppuiBase (props/events updated: secondarymenuGroups, secondarymenuHeading, secondarymenuOptions, item-select / secondarymenu-item-select)
+- Remove dees-appui-mainselector implementation and its index export; update group exports and imports to expose secondarymenu
+- Update demos and pages to showcase the new SecondaryMenu and adjust import paths for grouped components

+
+## Enhanced AppUI API (2025-12-08)
+
+The `dees-appui-base` component has been enhanced with a unified configuration API for building real-world applications.
+
+### New Modules:
+
+1. **ViewRegistry** (`view.registry.ts`)
+   - Manages view definitions and their lifecycle
+   - Supports tag names, element classes, and template functions as view content
+   - Methods: register, get, renderView, findByRoute
+
+2. **AppRouter** (`app.router.ts`)
+   - Built-in routing with hash or history mode
+   - External router support for framework integration
+   - Methods: navigate, back, forward, onRouteChange
+
+3. **StateManager** (`state.manager.ts`)
+   - Persists UI state (collapsed menus, selections, current view)
+   - Supports localStorage, sessionStorage, or memory storage
+   - Methods: save, load, update, clear
+
+### New Interfaces (in `interfaces/appconfig.ts`):
+
+```typescript
+interface IAppConfig {
+  branding?: { logoIcon?: string; logoText?: string };
+  appBar?: IAppBarConfig;
+  views: IViewDefinition[];
+  mainMenu?: IMainMenuConfig;
+  routing?: IRoutingConfig;
+  statePersistence?: IStatePersistenceConfig;
+  onViewChange?: (viewId: string, view: IViewDefinition) => void;
+}
+
+interface IViewDefinition {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  iconName?: string;
+  content: string | (new () => HTMLElement) | (() => TemplateResult);
+  secondaryMenu?: ISecondaryMenuGroup[];
+  contentTabs?: ITab[];
+  route?: string;
+}
+
+interface IRoutingConfig {
+  mode: 'hash' | 'history' | 'external' | 'none';
+  basePath?: string;
+  defaultView?: string;
+  syncUrl?: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+### New Public Methods on DeesAppuiBase:
+
+```typescript
+// Configure with unified config
+configure(config: IAppConfig): void
+
+// Navigation
+navigateToView(viewId: string): boolean
+getCurrentView(): IViewDefinition | undefined
+
+// State management
+getUIState(): IAppUIState
+restoreUIState(state: IAppUIState): void
+saveState(): void
+loadState(): boolean
+
+// Access internals
+getViewRegistry(): ViewRegistry
+getRouter(): AppRouter | null
+```
+
+### Usage Example (New Unified Config API):
+
+```typescript
+import type { IAppConfig } from '@design.estate/dees-catalog';
+
+const config: IAppConfig = {
+  branding: { logoIcon: 'lucide:box', logoText: 'My App' },
+  views: [
+    { id: 'dashboard', name: 'Dashboard', iconName: 'lucide:home', content: 'my-dashboard' },
+    { id: 'settings', name: 'Settings', iconName: 'lucide:settings', content: 'my-settings' },
+  ],
+  mainMenu: {
+    sections: [{ views: ['dashboard'] }],
+    bottomItems: ['settings'],
+  },
+  routing: { mode: 'hash', defaultView: 'dashboard' },
+  statePersistence: { enabled: true, storage: 'localStorage' },
+};
+
+html`<dees-appui-base .config=${config}></dees-appui-base>`;
+```
+
+### Backward Compatibility:
+
+The existing property-based API still works:
+
+```typescript
+html`
+  <dees-appui-base
+    .mainmenuGroups=${groups}
+    .secondarymenuGroups=${secondaryGroups}
+    @mainmenu-tab-select=${handler}
+  >
+    <div slot="maincontent">...</div>
+  </dees-appui-base>
+`;
+```
+
+### Key Features:
+
+- **Declarative View Registry**: Map menu items to view components
+- **Built-in Routing**: Hash or history mode with URL synchronization
+- **External Router Support**: Integrate with Angular Router or other frameworks
+- **State Persistence**: Save/restore collapsed menus, selections, and current view
+- **View-specific Menus**: Each view can define its own secondary menu and tabs
+- **Full Backward Compatibility**: Existing code continues to work

-Key Features:
+**Key Features:**
-- **Integrated Layout System**: Automatically arranges appbar, sidebars, and content area
+- **Configure API**: Single `configure()` method for complete app setup
-- **Centralized Configuration**: Pass properties to all child components from one place
+- **View Management**: Automatic view caching, lazy loading, and lifecycle hooks
-- **Event Propagation**: All child component events are re-emitted for easy handling
+- **Programmatic APIs**: Full control over AppBar, Main Menu, Secondary Menu, Content Tabs, and Activity Log
-- **Responsive Grid**: Uses CSS Grid for flexible, responsive layout
+- **View Lifecycle Hooks**: `onActivate()`, `onDeactivate()`, and `canDeactivate()` for view components
-- **Slot Support**: Main content area supports custom content via slots
+- **Hash-based Routing**: Automatic URL synchronization with view navigation
+- **RxJS Observables**: `viewChanged$` and `viewLifecycle$` for reactive programming
+- **TypeScript-first**: Typed `IViewActivationContext` passed to views on activation
+
+**Programmatic APIs include:**
+- `navigateToView(viewId, params?)` - Navigate between views
+- `setAppBarMenus()`, `setBreadcrumbs()`, `setUser()` - Control the app bar
+- `setMainMenu()`, `setMainMenuSelection()`, `setMainMenuBadge()` - Control main navigation
+- `setMainMenuCollapsed()`, `setMainMenuVisible()` - Control main menu visibility
+- `setSecondaryMenu()`, `setSecondaryMenuCollapsed()`, `setSecondaryMenuVisible()` - Control secondary menu
+- `setContentTabs()`, `setContentTabsVisible()` - Control view-specific UI
+- `activityLog.add()`, `activityLog.addMany()`, `activityLog.clear()` - Manage activity entries
+
+**View Visibility Control:**
+```typescript
+// In your view's onActivate hook
+onActivate(context: IViewActivationContext) {
+  // Hide secondary menu for a fullscreen view
+  context.appui.setSecondaryMenuVisible(false);
+
+  // Hide content tabs
+  context.appui.setContentTabsVisible(false);
+
+  // Collapse main menu to give more space
+  context.appui.setMainMenuCollapsed(true);

+# DeesAppuiBase
+
+A comprehensive application shell component providing a complete UI framework with navigation, menus, activity logging, and view management.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```typescript
+import { html, DeesElement, customElement } from '@design.estate/dees-element';
+import { DeesAppuiBase } from '@design.estate/dees-catalog';
+
+@customElement('my-app')
+class MyApp extends DeesElement {
+  private appui: DeesAppuiBase;
+
+  async firstUpdated() {
+    this.appui = this.shadowRoot.querySelector('dees-appui-base');
+
+    // Configure with views and menu
+    this.appui.configure({
+      branding: { logoIcon: 'lucide:box', logoText: 'My App' },
+      views: [
+        { id: 'dashboard', name: 'Dashboard', iconName: 'lucide:home', content: 'my-dashboard' },
+        { id: 'settings', name: 'Settings', iconName: 'lucide:settings', content: 'my-settings' },
+      ],
+      mainMenu: {
+        sections: [{ name: 'Main', views: ['dashboard', 'settings'] }]
+      },
+      defaultView: 'dashboard'
+    });
+  }
+
+  render() {
+    return html`<dees-appui-base></dees-appui-base>`;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration API
+
+### `configure(config: IAppConfig)`
+
+Configure the entire application shell with a single configuration object.
+
+```typescript
+interface IAppConfig {
+  branding?: IBrandingConfig;
+  appBar?: IAppBarConfig;
+  views: IViewDefinition[];
+  mainMenu?: IMainMenuConfig;
+  defaultView?: string;
+  activityLog?: IActivityLogConfig;
+  onViewChange?: (viewId: string, view: IViewDefinition) => void;
+  onSearch?: (query: string) => void;
+}
+```
+
+### View Definition
+
+```typescript
+interface IViewDefinition {
+  id: string;                           // Unique identifier
+  name: string;                         // Display name
+  iconName?: string;                    // Icon (e.g., 'lucide:home')
+  content:                              // View content
+    | string                            // Tag name ('my-component')
+    | (new () => HTMLElement)           // Class constructor
+    | (() => TemplateResult)            // Template function
+    | (() => Promise<...>);             // Async for lazy loading
+  secondaryMenu?: ISecondaryMenuGroup[];
+  contentTabs?: ITab[];
+  route?: string;                       // URL route (default: id)
+  badge?: string | number;
+  cache?: boolean;                      // Cache view instance (default: true)
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Programmatic APIs
+
+### App Bar API
+
+Control the top application bar.
+
+```typescript
+// Set menu items (File, Edit, View, etc.)
+appui.setAppBarMenus([
+  {
+    name: 'File',
+    submenu: [
+      { name: 'New', shortcut: 'Cmd+N', action: () => {} },
+      { name: 'Save', shortcut: 'Cmd+S', action: () => {} },
+    ]
+  }
+]);
+
+// Update single menu
+appui.updateAppBarMenu('File', { submenu: [...newItems] });
+
+// Breadcrumbs
+appui.setBreadcrumbs('Dashboard > Settings > Profile');
+appui.setBreadcrumbs(['Dashboard', 'Settings', 'Profile']);
+
+// User profile
+appui.setUser({
+  name: 'John Doe',
+  email: 'john@example.com',
+  avatar: '/avatars/john.png',
+  status: 'online'  // 'online' | 'offline' | 'busy' | 'away'
+});
+
+appui.setProfileMenuItems([
+  { name: 'Profile', iconName: 'lucide:user', action: () => {} },
+  { divider: true },
+  { name: 'Sign Out', iconName: 'lucide:log-out', action: () => {} }
+]);
+
+// Search
+appui.setSearchVisible(true);
+appui.onSearch((query) => console.log('Search:', query));
+
+// Window controls (for Electron/Tauri apps)
+appui.setWindowControlsVisible(false);
+```
+
+### Main Menu API (Left Sidebar)
+
+Control the main navigation menu.
+
+```typescript
+// Set entire menu
+appui.setMainMenu({
+  logoIcon: 'lucide:box',
+  logoText: 'My App',
+  groups: [
+    {
+      name: 'Main',
+      tabs: [
+        { key: 'dashboard', iconName: 'lucide:home', action: () => {} },
+        { key: 'inbox', iconName: 'lucide:inbox', badge: 5, action: () => {} },
+      ]
+    }
+  ],
+  bottomTabs: [
+    { key: 'settings', iconName: 'lucide:settings', action: () => {} }
+  ]
+});
+
+// Update specific group
+appui.updateMainMenuGroup('Main', { tabs: [...newTabs] });
+
+// Add/remove items
+appui.addMainMenuItem('Main', { key: 'tasks', iconName: 'lucide:check', action: () => {} });
+appui.removeMainMenuItem('Main', 'tasks');
+
+// Selection
+appui.setMainMenuSelection('dashboard');
+appui.setMainMenuCollapsed(true);
+
+// Badges
+appui.setMainMenuBadge('inbox', 12);
+appui.clearMainMenuBadge('inbox');
+```
+
+### Secondary Menu API
+
+Views can control the secondary (contextual) menu.
+
+```typescript
+// Set menu
+appui.setSecondaryMenu({
+  heading: 'Settings',
+  groups: [
+    {
+      name: 'Account',
+      items: [
+        { key: 'profile', iconName: 'lucide:user', action: () => {} },
+        { key: 'security', iconName: 'lucide:shield', action: () => {} },
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+});
+
+// Update group
+appui.updateSecondaryMenuGroup('Account', { items: newItems });
+
+// Add item
+appui.addSecondaryMenuItem('Account', {
+  key: 'notifications',
+  iconName: 'lucide:bell',
+  action: () => {}
+});
+
+// Selection
+appui.setSecondaryMenuSelection('profile');
+
+// Clear
+appui.clearSecondaryMenu();
+```
+
+### Content Tabs API
+
+Control tabs in the main content area.
+
+```typescript
+// Set tabs
+appui.setContentTabs([
+  { key: 'code', iconName: 'lucide:code', action: () => {} },
+  { key: 'preview', iconName: 'lucide:eye', action: () => {} }
+]);
+
+// Add/remove
+appui.addContentTab({ key: 'debug', iconName: 'lucide:bug', action: () => {} });
+appui.removeContentTab('debug');
+
+// Select
+appui.selectContentTab('preview');
+
+// Get current
+const current = appui.getSelectedContentTab();
+```
+
+### Activity Log API
+
+Add activity entries to the right-side activity log.
+
+```typescript
+// Add single entry
+appui.activityLog.add({
+  type: 'create',       // 'login' | 'logout' | 'view' | 'create' | 'update' | 'delete' | 'custom'
+  user: 'John Doe',
+  message: 'created a new invoice',
+  iconName: 'lucide:file-plus',  // Optional custom icon
+  data: { invoiceId: '123' }     // Optional metadata
+});
+
+// Add multiple
+appui.activityLog.addMany([...entries]);
+
+// Clear
+appui.activityLog.clear();
+
+// Query
+const entries = appui.activityLog.getEntries();
+const filtered = appui.activityLog.filter({ user: 'John', type: 'create' });
+const searched = appui.activityLog.search('invoice');
+```
+
+### Navigation API
+
+Navigate between views programmatically.
+
+```typescript
+// Navigate to view
+await appui.navigateToView('settings');
+await appui.navigateToView('settings', { section: 'profile' });
+
+// Get current view
+const current = appui.getCurrentView();
+
+// Subscribe to view changes
+appui.viewChanged$.subscribe((event) => {
+  console.log(`Navigated to: ${event.viewId}`);

+appui.viewLifecycle$.subscribe((event) => {
+  if (event.type === 'activated') {
+    console.log(`View ${event.viewId} activated`);
+  }
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## View Lifecycle Hooks
+
+Views can implement lifecycle hooks to respond to activation/deactivation.
+
+```typescript
+import { DeesElement, customElement } from '@design.estate/dees-element';
+import type { IViewActivationContext, IViewLifecycle } from '@design.estate/dees-catalog';
+
+@customElement('my-settings-view')
+class MySettingsView extends DeesElement implements IViewLifecycle {
+  /**
+   * Called when view is activated (displayed)
+   * Receives typed context with appui reference
+   */
+  async onActivate(context: IViewActivationContext) {
+    const { appui, viewId, params } = context;
+
+    // Set view-specific secondary menu
+    appui.setSecondaryMenu({
+      heading: 'Settings',
+      groups: [{ name: 'Options', items: [...] }]
+    });
+
+    // Set view-specific tabs
+    appui.setContentTabs([...]);
+
+    // Load data based on route params
+    if (params?.section) {
+      await this.loadSection(params.section);
+    }
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Called when view is deactivated (hidden)
+   */
+  onDeactivate() {
+    this.cleanup();
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Called before navigation away
+   * Return false or a message string to block navigation
+   */
+  canDeactivate(): boolean | string {
+    if (this.hasUnsavedChanges) {
+      return 'You have unsaved changes. Leave anyway?';
+    }
+    return true;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### IViewActivationContext
+
+```typescript
+interface IViewActivationContext {
+  appui: DeesAppuiBase;           // Reference to the app shell
+  viewId: string;                  // The view ID being activated
+  params?: Record<string, string>; // Route parameters
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Routing
+
+Routes are automatically registered from view definitions using `domtools.router`.
+
+```typescript
+const views = [
+  { id: 'dashboard', route: 'dashboard', ... },
+  { id: 'settings', route: 'settings/:section?', ... },  // Parameterized
+  { id: 'user', route: 'users/:id', ... },
+];
+
+// URL: #dashboard → navigates to dashboard view
+// URL: #settings/profile → navigates to settings with params.section = 'profile'
+// URL: #users/123 → navigates to user with params.id = '123'
+```
+
+### Hash-based Routing
+
+The router uses hash-based routing by default (`#viewId`). URLs are automatically synchronized when navigating via `navigateToView()`.
+
+---
+
+## View Caching
+
+Views are cached by default. When navigating away and back, the same DOM element is reused (hidden/shown) rather than destroyed and recreated.
+
+```typescript
+// Disable caching for a specific view
+{
+  id: 'reports',
+  name: 'Reports',
+  content: 'my-reports-view',
+  cache: false  // Always recreate this view
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Lazy Loading
+
+Use async content functions for lazy loading views.
+
+```typescript
+{
+  id: 'analytics',
+  name: 'Analytics',
+  content: async () => {
+    const module = await import('./views/analytics.js');
+    return module.AnalyticsView;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## RxJS Observables
+
+The component exposes RxJS Subjects for reactive programming.
+
+```typescript
+// View lifecycle events
+appui.viewLifecycle$.subscribe((event) => {
+  // event.type: 'loading' | 'activated' | 'deactivated' | 'loaded' | 'loadError'
+  // event.viewId: string
+  // event.element?: HTMLElement
+  // event.params?: Record<string, string>
+  // event.error?: unknown
+});
+
+// View change events
+appui.viewChanged$.subscribe((event) => {
+  // event.viewId: string
+  // event.view: IViewDefinition
+  // event.previousView?: IViewDefinition
+  // event.params?: Record<string, string>
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Complete Example

+```typescript
+import { html, DeesElement, customElement } from '@design.estate/dees-element';
