Settings → Connections lost its hierarchy after #11542 moved every control into a fixed-height master-detail panel. The one-click on/off switch and at-a-glance status from #11478 ended up two clicks deep, the icon picker sat above the connection controls, and most detail panels were near empty.

This puts the page back in reading order:

  • This machine is a settings block at the top: version row with its own Update button, network access, Tailscale HTTPS, T3 Connect, publish agent activity, WSL, and Authorized clients folded behind one row with a client and link count. The icon override moves into the block's ⋯ menu.
  • One Environments list. Each row is icon, name, and a subtitle that prints transport first (T3 Connect, SSH theo@fw, or the URL) then status. Errors truncate to one line, full text on hover. Right side: update icon only when an update exists, the switch, and ⋯ with Icon, Copy trace ID, and Remove from this device. Off rows stay in place, dimmed. Not yet added T3 Connect machines sit at the bottom with an Add button.
  • Load balancing and GitHub sharing are folded sections under the list. Closed, the header prints the machines that differ from the default. Open, one row per switched-on machine with the same four-level and three-level selects as before. Both render only when two or more machines are on. Settings search jumps open the fold they target.
  • The Icon submenu lists the machine kinds and marks the detected one. Picking the detected kind clears the override. The word "Automatic" is gone.

    • Updated GitHub settings documentation to describe sharing permissions.

Settings → Connections lost its hierarchy after #11542 moved every control
into a fixed-height master-detail panel. This puts the page back in reading
order: this machine's settings block, one Environments list where the switch
is the main action, then Load balancing and GitHub sharing as folded sections
that summarize their non-default values in the header.

- Environment rows print transport first (T3 Connect, SSH, URL) then status.
  Errors truncate to one line with the full text on hover.
- The icon override moves into the row menu as an Icon submenu that marks
  the detected kind. "Automatic" is gone.
- Authorized clients folds behind one row with a client and link count.
- Not yet added T3 Connect machines get an Add button in the same list.
- Load balancing and GitHub sharing render only when two or more machines
  are on. Search jumps open the fold they target.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR substantially restructures the Connections settings experience, changing environment navigation, control placement, folding behavior, and routing preferences across several production web components. The breadth of the runtime UI change, together with an unresolved blocking correctness thread, warrants human review.

knip flagged isEnvironmentMachineKind as unused after the icon picker moved
into a menu. The radio group only emits kinds we render, but the schema check
keeps the contract's guard in use and rejects anything else.

Walkthrough

Changes

The pull request changes cloud onboarding actions from Connect to Add, identifies unsaved T3 Connect environments, and restructures Connections settings into a flat environment list. It adds shared rows and folded sections, updates icon selection, and revises load-balancing and GitHub-sharing controls.

Connections settings and onboarding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cloud onboarding labels
apps/web/src/components/cloud/CloudEnvironmentConnectList.tsx, apps/web/src/components/cloud/CloudEnvironmentConnectList.test.tsx
Unsaved environments show T3 Connect status text. Their actions use Add and Adding…. Tests verify the updated labels.
Shared settings row and menu components
apps/web/src/components/settings/EnvironmentRow.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/EnvironmentIconPicker.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/FoldedSettingsSection.tsx
Shared environment rows and transport labels are added. Icon selection uses a menu with detected-kind handling. Folded sections support summaries and search-target expansion.
Connections page layout
apps/web/src/components/settings/ConnectionsSettings.tsx
The page removes hash-based environment selection and the two-pane layout. Saved environments render as rows, WSL targets are excluded, primary settings move above the list, and authorized clients become foldable.
Folded sharing and balancing preferences
apps/web/src/components/settings/LoadBalancingSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/LoadBalancingSettings.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/GitHubRoutingSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/GitHubRoutingSettings.test.ts
Load-balancing and GitHub-sharing controls render per enabled environment. Header summaries and preference helpers are added with tests.
Settings terminology and documentation
apps/web/src/components/settings/settingsSearch.ts, docs/user/remote-access.md, docs/user/source-control.md
Connection search labels and GitHub-sharing documentation are updated. The remote-access paragraph is reformatted without content changes.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 364e7

Repeated settings searches can leave folded content hidden, and searching with the former “routing” term no longer finds GitHub sharing. These are bounded issues but should be corrected before merge.

Reset openedForTarget so a repeat search reopens the section.

openedForTarget is set once and never cleared. After the first search jump opens the section, the user can close it. A second search that targets the same id then matches openedForTarget === id, so the section stays closed while the page scrolls and focuses it. The targeted setting is not visible.

Clear the marker when the search target moves away from this section.

🐛 Proposed fix
   const [openedForTarget, setOpenedForTarget] = useState<string | null>(null);
   if (searchTargetId === id && openedForTarget !== id) {
     setOpenedForTarget(id);
     if (!open) setOpen(true);
+  } else if (searchTargetId !== id && openedForTarget === id) {
+    setOpenedForTarget(null);
   }

Keep routing as a search alias.

This rename removes the existing match for routing. The current searchTerms do not retain that term. A user who searches for routing will not find GitHub sharing. Add routing or github routing to searchTerms.
