-## What This Skill Covers
-
-This skill covers Mainline's pipeline architecture - the Stage-based system for dependency resolution, data flow, and component composition.
-
-## Key Concepts
-
-### Stage Class (engine/pipeline/core.py)
-
-The `Stage` ABC is the foundation. All pipeline components inherit from it:
-
-```python
-class Stage(ABC):
-    name: str
-    category: str  # "source", "effect", "overlay", "display", "camera"
-    optional: bool = False
-    
-    @property
-    def capabilities(self) -> set[str]:
-        """What this stage provides (e.g., 'source.headlines')"""
-        return set()
-    
-    @property
-    def dependencies(self) -> list[str]:
-        """What this stage needs (e.g., ['source'])"""
-        return []
-```
-
-### Capability-Based Dependencies
-
-The Pipeline resolves dependencies using **prefix matching**:
-- `"source"` matches `"source.headlines"`, `"source.poetry"`, etc.
-- This allows flexible composition without hardcoding specific stage names
-
-### DataType Enum
-
-PureData-style data types for inlet/outlet validation:
-- `SOURCE_ITEMS`: List[SourceItem] - raw items from sources
-- `ITEM_TUPLES`: List[tuple] - (title, source, timestamp) tuples  
-- `TEXT_BUFFER`: List[str] - rendered ANSI buffer
-- `RAW_TEXT`: str - raw text strings
-- `PIL_IMAGE`: PIL Image object
-
-### Pipeline Execution
-
-The Pipeline (engine/pipeline/controller.py):
-1. Collects all stages from StageRegistry
-2. Resolves dependencies using prefix matching
-3. Executes stages in dependency order
-4. Handles errors for non-optional stages
-
-### Canvas & Camera
-
-- **Canvas** (`engine/canvas.py`): 2D rendering surface with dirty region tracking
-- **Camera** (`engine/camera.py`): Viewport controller for scrolling content
-
-Canvas tracks dirty regions automatically when content is written via `put_region`, `put_text`, `fill`, enabling partial buffer updates.
-
-## Adding New Stages
-
-1. Create a class inheriting from `Stage`
-2. Define `capabilities` and `dependencies` properties
-3. Implement required abstract methods
-4. Register in StageRegistry or use as adapter
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-- Use adapters (engine/pipeline/adapters.py) to wrap existing components as stages
-- Set `optional=True` for stages that can fail gracefully
-- Use `stage_type` and `render_order` for execution ordering

-  audience: developers
-  source_type: codebase
----
-
-## What This Skill Covers
-
-This skill covers Mainline's display backend system - how to implement new display backends and how the Display protocol works.
-
-## Key Concepts
-
-### Display Protocol
-
-All backends implement a common Display protocol (in `engine/display/__init__.py`):
-
-```python
-class Display(Protocol):
-    def show(self, buf: list[str]) -> None:
-        """Display the buffer"""
-        ...
-    
-    def clear(self) -> None:
-        """Clear the display"""
-        ...
-    
-    def size(self) -> tuple[int, int]:
-        """Return (width, height)"""
-        ...
-```
-
-### DisplayRegistry
-
-Discovers and manages backends:
-
-```python
-from engine.display import get_monitor
-display = get_monitor("terminal")  # or "websocket", "sixel", "null", "multi"
-```
-
-### Available Backends
-
-| Backend | File | Description |
-|---------|------|-------------|
-| terminal | backends/terminal.py | ANSI terminal output |
-| websocket | backends/websocket.py | Web browser via WebSocket |
-| sixel | backends/sixel.py | Sixel graphics (pure Python) |
-| null | backends/null.py | Headless for testing |
-| multi | backends/multi.py | Forwards to multiple displays |
-
-### WebSocket Backend
-
-- WebSocket server: port 8765
-- HTTP server: port 8766 (serves client/index.html)
-- Client has ANSI color parsing and fullscreen support
-
-### Multi Backend
-
-Forwards to multiple displays simultaneously - useful for `terminal + websocket`.
-
-## Adding a New Backend
-
-1. Create `engine/display/backends/my_backend.py`
-2. Implement the Display protocol methods
-3. Register in `engine/display/__init__.py`'s `DisplayRegistry`
-
-Required methods:
-- `show(buf: list[str])` - Display buffer
-- `clear()` - Clear screen
-- `size() -> tuple[int, int]` - Terminal dimensions
-
-Optional methods:
-- `title(text: str)` - Set window title
-- `cursor(show: bool)` - Control cursor
-
-## Usage
-
-```bash
-python mainline.py --display terminal  # default
-python mainline.py --display websocket
-python mainline.py --display sixel
-python mainline.py --display both      # terminal + websocket
-```

-description: How to add new effect plugins to Mainline's effect system
-compatibility: opencode
-metadata:
-  audience: developers
-  source_type: codebase
----
-
-## What This Skill Covers
-
-This skill covers Mainline's effect plugin system - how to create, configure, and integrate visual effects into the pipeline.
-
-## Key Concepts
-
-### EffectPlugin ABC (engine/effects/types.py)
-
-All effects must inherit from `EffectPlugin` and implement:
-
-```python
-class EffectPlugin(ABC):
-    name: str
-    config: EffectConfig
-    param_bindings: dict[str, dict[str, str | float]] = {}
-    supports_partial_updates: bool = False
-    
-    @abstractmethod
-    def process(self, buf: list[str], ctx: EffectContext) -> list[str]:
-        """Process buffer with effect applied"""
-        ...
-    
-    @abstractmethod
-    def configure(self, config: EffectConfig) -> None:
-        """Configure the effect"""
-        ...
-```
-
-### EffectContext
-
-Passed to every effect's process method:
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class EffectContext:
-    terminal_width: int
-    terminal_height: int
-    scroll_cam: int
-    ticker_height: int
-    camera_x: int = 0
-    mic_excess: float = 0.0
-    grad_offset: float = 0.0
-    frame_number: int = 0
-    has_message: bool = False
-    items: list = field(default_factory=list)
-    _state: dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)
-```
-
-Access sensor values via `ctx.get_sensor_value("sensor_name")`.
-
-### EffectConfig
-
-Configuration dataclass:
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class EffectConfig:
-    enabled: bool = True
-    intensity: float = 1.0
-    params: dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)
-```
-
-### Partial Updates
-
-For performance optimization, set `supports_partial_updates = True` and implement `process_partial`:
-
-```python
-class MyEffect(EffectPlugin):
-    supports_partial_updates = True
-    
-    def process_partial(self, buf, ctx, partial: PartialUpdate) -> list[str]:
-        # Only process changed regions
-        ...
-```
-
-## Adding a New Effect
-
-1. Create file in `effects_plugins/my_effect.py`
-2. Inherit from `EffectPlugin`
-3. Implement `process()` and `configure()`
-4. Add to `effects_plugins/__init__.py` (runtime discovery via issubclass checks)
-
-## Param Bindings
-
-Declarative sensor-to-param mappings:
-
-```python
-param_bindings = {
-    "intensity": {"sensor": "mic", "transform": "linear"},
-    "rate": {"sensor": "oscillator", "transform": "exponential"},
-}
-```
-
-Transforms: `linear`, `exponential`, `threshold`
-
-## Effect Chain
-
-Effects are chained via `engine/effects/chain.py` - processes each effect in order, passing output to next.
-
-## Existing Effects
-
-See `effects_plugins/`:
-- noise.py, fade.py, glitch.py, firehose.py
-- border.py, crop.py, tint.py, hud.py

----
-
-## What This Skill Covers
-
-This skill covers how to create pipeline presets in TOML format for Mainline's rendering pipeline.
-
-## Key Concepts
-
-### Preset Loading Order
-
-Presets are loaded from multiple locations (later overrides earlier):
-1. Built-in: `engine/presets.toml`
-2. User config: `~/.config/mainline/presets.toml`
-3. Local override: `./presets.toml`
-
-### PipelinePreset Dataclass
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class PipelinePreset:
-    name: str
-    description: str = ""
-    source: str = "headlines"      # Data source
-    display: str = "terminal"      # Display backend
-    camera: str = "scroll"          # Camera mode
-    effects: list[str] = field(default_factory=list)
-    border: bool = False
-```
-
-### TOML Format
-
-```toml
-[presets.my-preset]
-description = "My custom pipeline"
-source = "headlines"
-display = "terminal"
-camera = "scroll"
-effects = ["noise", "fade"]
-border = true
-```
-
-## Creating a Preset
-
-### Option 1: User Config
-
-Create/edit `~/.config/mainline/presets.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[presets.my-cool-preset]
-description = "Noise and glitch effects"
-source = "headlines"
-display = "terminal"
-effects = ["noise", "glitch"]
-```
-
-### Option 2: Local Override
-
-Create `./presets.toml` in project root:
-
-```toml
-[presets.dev-inspect]
-description = "Pipeline introspection for development"
-source = "headlines"
-display = "terminal"
-effects = ["hud"]
-```
-
-### Option 3: Built-in
-
-Edit `engine/presets.toml` (requires PR to repository).
-
-## Available Sources
-
-- `headlines` - RSS news feeds
-- `poetry` - Literature mode
-- `pipeline-inspect` - Live DAG visualization
-
-## Available Displays
-
-- `terminal` - ANSI terminal
-- `websocket` - Web browser
-- `sixel` - Sixel graphics
-- `null` - Headless
-
-## Available Effects
-
-See `effects_plugins/`:
-- noise, fade, glitch, firehose
-- border, crop, tint, hud
-
-## Validation Functions
-
-Use these from `engine/pipeline/presets.py`:
-- `validate_preset()` - Validate preset structure
-- `validate_signal_path()` - Detect circular dependencies
-- `generate_preset_toml()` - Generate skeleton preset

----
-
-## What This Skill Covers
-
-This skill covers Mainline's sensor framework - how to use, create, and integrate sensors for real-time input.
-
-## Key Concepts
-
-### Sensor Base Class (engine/sensors/__init__.py)
-
-```python
-class Sensor(ABC):
-    name: str
-    unit: str = ""
-    
-    @property
-    def available(self) -> bool:
-        """Whether sensor is currently available"""
-        return True
-    
-    @abstractmethod
-    def read(self) -> SensorValue | None:
-        """Read current sensor value"""
-        ...
-    
-    def start(self) -> None:
-        """Initialize sensor (optional)"""
-        pass
-    
-    def stop(self) -> None:
-        """Clean up sensor (optional)"""
-        pass
-```
-
-### SensorValue Dataclass
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class SensorValue:
-    sensor_name: str
-    value: float
-    timestamp: float
-    unit: str = ""
-```
-
-### SensorRegistry
-
-Discovers and manages sensors globally:
-
-```python
-from engine.sensors import SensorRegistry
-registry = SensorRegistry()
-sensor = registry.get("mic")
-```
-
-### SensorStage
-
-Pipeline adapter that provides sensor values to effects:
-
-```python
-from engine.pipeline.adapters import SensorStage
-stage = SensorStage(sensor_name="mic")
-```
-
-## Built-in Sensors
-
-| Sensor | File | Description |
-|--------|------|-------------|
-| MicSensor | sensors/mic.py | Microphone input (RMS dB) |
-| OscillatorSensor | sensors/oscillator.py | Test sine wave generator |
-| PipelineMetricsSensor | sensors/pipeline_metrics.py | FPS, frame time, etc. |
-
-## Param Bindings
-
-Effects declare sensor-to-param mappings:
-
-```python
-class GlitchEffect(EffectPlugin):
-    param_bindings = {
-        "intensity": {"sensor": "mic", "transform": "linear"},
-    }
-```
-
-### Transform Functions
-
-- `linear` - Direct mapping to param range
-- `exponential` - Exponential scaling
-- `threshold` - Binary on/off
-
-## Adding a New Sensor
-
-1. Create `engine/sensors/my_sensor.py`
-2. Inherit from `Sensor` ABC
-3. Implement required methods
-4. Register in `SensorRegistry`
-
-Example:
-```python
-class MySensor(Sensor):
-    name = "my-sensor"
-    unit = "units"
-    
-    def read(self) -> SensorValue | None:
-        return SensorValue(
-            sensor_name=self.name,
-            value=self._read_hardware(),
-            timestamp=time.time(),
-            unit=self.unit
-        )
-```
-
-## Using Sensors in Effects
-
-Access sensor values via EffectContext:
-
-```python
-def process(self, buf, ctx):
-    mic_level = ctx.get_sensor_value("mic")
-    if mic_level and mic_level > 0.5:
-        # Apply intense effect
-        ...
-```
-
-Or via param_bindings (automatic):
-
-```python
-# If intensity is bound to "mic", it's automatically 
-# available in self.config.intensity
-```

-description: Adding new RSS feeds and data sources to Mainline
-compatibility: opencode
-metadata:
-  audience: developers
-  source_type: codebase
----
-
-## What This Skill Covers
-
-This skill covers how to add new data sources (RSS feeds, poetry) to Mainline.
-
-## Key Concepts
-
-### Feeds Dictionary (engine/sources.py)
-
-All feeds are defined in a simple dictionary:
-
-```python
-FEEDS = {
-    "Feed Name": "https://example.com/feed.xml",
-    # Category comments help organize:
-    # Science & Technology
-    # Economics & Business
-    # World & Politics
-    # Culture & Ideas
-}
-```
-
-### Poetry Sources
-
-Project Gutenberg URLs for public domain literature:
-
-```python
-POETRY_SOURCES = {
-    "Author Name": "https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1234/pg1234.txt",
-}
-```
-
-### Language & Script Mapping
-
-The sources.py also contains language/script detection mappings used for auto-translation and font selection.
-
-## Adding a New RSS Feed
-
-1. Edit `engine/sources.py`
-2. Add entry to `FEEDS` dict under appropriate category:
-   ```python
-   "My Feed": "https://example.com/feed.xml",
-   ```
-3. The feed will be automatically discovered on next run
-
-### Feed Requirements
-
-- Must be valid RSS or Atom XML
-- Should have `<title>` elements for items
-- Must be HTTP/HTTPS accessible
-
-## Adding Poetry Sources
-
-1. Edit `engine/sources.py`
-2. Add to `POETRY_SOURCES` dict:
-   ```python
-   "Author": "https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/XXXX/pgXXXX.txt",
-   ```
-
-### Poetry Requirements
-
-- Plain text (UTF-8)
-- Project Gutenberg format preferred
-- No DRM-protected sources
-
-## Data Flow
-
-Feeds are fetched via `engine/fetch.py`:
-- `fetch_feed(url)` - Fetches and parses RSS/Atom
-- Results cached for fast restarts
-- Filtered via `engine/filter.py` for content cleaning
-
-## Categories
-
-Organize new feeds by category using comments:
-- Science & Technology
-- Economics & Business  
-- World & Politics
-- Culture & Ideas

 ```
 
-## Code Style Guidelines
+The project uses hk configured in `hk.pkl`:
-
+- **pre-commit**: runs ruff-format and ruff (with auto-fix)
-### Imports (three sections, alphabetical within each)
+- **pre-push**: runs ruff check
-
-```python
-# 1. Standard library
-import os
-import threading
-from collections import defaultdict
-from collections.abc import Callable
-from dataclasses import dataclass, field
-from typing import Any
-
-# 2. Third-party
-from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
-
-# 3. Local project
-from engine.events import EventType
-```
-
-### Type Hints
-
-- Use type hints for all function signatures (parameters and return)
-- Use `|` for unions (Python 3.10+): `EventType | None`
-- Use `dict[K, V]`, `list[V]` (generic syntax): `dict[str, list[int]]`
-- Use `Callable[[ArgType], ReturnType]` for callbacks
-
-```python
-def subscribe(self, event_type: EventType, callback: Callable[[Any], None]) -> None:
-    ...
-
-def get_sensor_value(self, sensor_name: str) -> float | None:
-    return self._state.get(f"sensor.{sensor_name}")
-```
-
-### Naming Conventions
-
-- **Classes**: `PascalCase` (e.g., `EventBus`, `EffectPlugin`)
-- **Functions/methods**: `snake_case` (e.g., `get_event_bus`, `process_partial`)
-- **Constants**: `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE` (e.g., `CURSOR_OFF`)
-- **Private methods**: `_snake_case` prefix (e.g., `_initialize`)
-- **Type variables**: `PascalCase` (e.g., `T`, `EffectT`)
-
-### Dataclasses
-
-Use `@dataclass` for simple data containers:
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class EffectContext:
-    terminal_width: int
-    terminal_height: int
-    scroll_cam: int
-    ticker_height: int = 0
-    _state: dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict, repr=False)
-```
-
-### Abstract Base Classes
-
-Use ABC for interface enforcement:
-
-```python
-class EffectPlugin(ABC):
-    name: str
-    config: EffectConfig
-    
-    @abstractmethod
-    def process(self, buf: list[str], ctx: EffectContext) -> list[str]:
-        ...
-    
-    @abstractmethod
-    def configure(self, config: EffectConfig) -> None:
-        ...
-```
-
-### Error Handling
-
-- Catch specific exceptions, not bare `Exception`
-- Use `try/except` with fallbacks for optional features
-- Silent pass in event callbacks to prevent one handler from breaking others
-
-```python
-# Good: specific exception
-try:
-    term_size = os.get_terminal_size()
-except OSError:
-    term_width = 80
-
-# Good: silent pass in callbacks
-for callback in callbacks:
-    try:
-        callback(event)
-    except Exception:
-        pass
-```
-
-### Thread Safety
-
-Use locks for shared state:
-
-```python
-class EventBus:
-    def __init__(self):
-        self._lock = threading.Lock()
-    
-    def publish(self, event_type: EventType, event: Any = None) -> None:
-        with self._lock:
-            callbacks = list(self._subscribers.get(event_type, []))
-```
-
-### Comments
-
-- **DO NOT ADD comments** unless explicitly required
-- Let code be self-documenting with good naming
-- Use docstrings only for public APIs or complex logic
-
-### Testing Patterns
-
-Follow pytest conventions:
-
-```python
-class TestEventBusSubscribe:
-    """Tests for EventBus.subscribe method."""
-    
-    def test_subscribe_adds_callback(self):
-        """subscribe() adds a callback for an event type."""
-        bus = EventBus()
-        def callback(e):
-            return None
-        bus.subscribe(EventType.NTFY_MESSAGE, callback)
-        assert bus.subscriber_count(EventType.NTFY_MESSAGE) == 1
-```
-
-- Use classes to group related tests (`Test<ClassName>`, `Test<method_name>`)
-- Test docstrings follow `"<method>() <action>"` pattern
-- Use descriptive assertion messages via pytest behavior
 
 ## Workflow Rules
 
 ### Before Committing
 
-1. Run tests: `mise run test`
+1. **Always run the test suite** - never commit code that fails tests:
-2. Run linter: `mise run lint`
+   ```bash
-3. Review changes: `git diff`
+   mise run test
+   ```
+
+2. **Always run the linter**:
+   ```bash
+   mise run lint
+   ```
+

 ### On Failing Tests
 
-- **Out-of-date test**: Update test to match new expected behavior
+When tests fail, **determine whether it's an out-of-date test or a correctly failing test**:
-- **Correctly failing test**: Fix implementation, not the test
+
+- **Out-of-date test**: The test was written for old behavior that has legitimately changed. Update the test to match the new expected behavior.
+
+- **Correctly failing test**: The test correctly identifies a broken contract. Fix the implementation, not the test.
 
 **Never** modify a test to make it pass without understanding why it failed.

+Before committing significant changes:
-- **EffectPlugin**: ABC with `process()` and `configure()` methods
+- Run `git diff` to review all changes
-- **Display backends**: terminal, websocket, sixel, null (for testing)
+- Ensure new code follows existing patterns in the codebase
-- **EventBus**: thread-safe pub/sub messaging
+- Check that type hints are added for new functions
-- **Presets**: TOML format in `engine/presets.toml`
+- Verify that tests exist for new functionality

-### Test Coverage Strategy
-
-Current coverage: 56% (463 tests)
-
-Key areas with lower coverage (acceptable for now):
-- **app.py** (8%): Main entry point - integration heavy, requires terminal
-- **scroll.py** (10%): Terminal-dependent rendering logic (unused)
-
-Key areas with good coverage:
-- **display/backends/null.py** (95%): Easy to test headlessly
-- **display/backends/terminal.py** (96%): Uses mocking
-- **display/backends/multi.py** (100%): Simple forwarding logic
-- **effects/performance.py** (99%): Pure Python logic
-- **eventbus.py** (96%): Simple event system
-- **effects/controller.py** (95%): Effects command handling
-
-Areas needing more tests:
-- **websocket.py** (48%): Network I/O, hard to test in CI
-- **ntfy.py** (50%): Network I/O, hard to test in CI
-- **mic.py** (61%): Audio I/O, hard to test in CI
-
-Note: Terminal-dependent modules (scroll, layers render) are harder to test in CI.
-Performance regression tests are in `tests/test_benchmark.py` with `@pytest.mark.benchmark`.

 ## Architecture Notes
 
-- **ntfy.py** - standalone notification poller with zero internal dependencies
+- **ntfy.py** and **mic.py** are standalone modules with zero internal dependencies
-- **sensors/** - Sensor framework (MicSensor, OscillatorSensor) for real-time input
 - **eventbus.py** provides thread-safe event publishing for decoupled communication
-- **effects/** - plugin architecture with performance monitoring
+- **controller.py** coordinates ntfy/mic monitoring
-- The new pipeline architecture: source → render → effects → display
+- The render pipeline: fetch → render → effects → scroll → terminal output
-
-#### Canvas & Camera
-
-- **Canvas** (`engine/canvas.py`): 2D rendering surface with dirty region tracking
-- **Camera** (`engine/camera.py`): Viewport controller for scrolling content
-
-The Canvas tracks dirty regions automatically when content is written (via `put_region`, `put_text`, `fill`), enabling partial buffer updates for optimized effect processing.
-
-### Pipeline Architecture
-
-The new Stage-based pipeline architecture provides capability-based dependency resolution:
-
-- **Stage** (`engine/pipeline/core.py`): Base class for pipeline stages
-- **Pipeline** (`engine/pipeline/controller.py`): Executes stages with capability-based dependency resolution
-- **StageRegistry** (`engine/pipeline/registry.py`): Discovers and registers stages
-- **Stage Adapters** (`engine/pipeline/adapters.py`): Wraps existing components as stages
-
-#### Capability-Based Dependencies
-
-Stages declare capabilities (what they provide) and dependencies (what they need). The Pipeline resolves dependencies using prefix matching:
-- `"source"` matches `"source.headlines"`, `"source.poetry"`, etc.
-- This allows flexible composition without hardcoding specific stage names
-
-#### Sensor Framework
-
-- **Sensor** (`engine/sensors/__init__.py`): Base class for real-time input sensors
-- **SensorRegistry**: Discovers available sensors
-- **SensorStage**: Pipeline adapter that provides sensor values to effects
-- **MicSensor** (`engine/sensors/mic.py`): Self-contained microphone input
-- **OscillatorSensor** (`engine/sensors/oscillator.py`): Test sensor for development
-- **PipelineMetricsSensor** (`engine/sensors/pipeline_metrics.py`): Exposes pipeline metrics as sensor values
-
-Sensors support param bindings to drive effect parameters in real-time.
-
-#### Pipeline Introspection
-
-- **PipelineIntrospectionSource** (`engine/data_sources/pipeline_introspection.py`): Renders live ASCII visualization of pipeline DAG with metrics
-- **PipelineIntrospectionDemo** (`engine/pipeline/pipeline_introspection_demo.py`): 3-phase demo controller for effect animation
-
-Preset: `pipeline-inspect` - Live pipeline introspection with DAG and performance metrics
-
-#### Partial Update Support
-
-Effect plugins can opt-in to partial buffer updates for performance optimization:
-- Set `supports_partial_updates = True` on the effect class
-- Implement `process_partial(buf, ctx, partial)` method
-- The `PartialUpdate` dataclass indicates which regions changed
-
-### Preset System
-
-Presets use TOML format (no external dependencies):
-
-- Built-in: `engine/presets.toml`
-- User config: `~/.config/mainline/presets.toml`
-- Local override: `./presets.toml`
-
-- **Preset loader** (`engine/pipeline/preset_loader.py`): Loads and validates presets
-- **PipelinePreset** (`engine/pipeline/presets.py`): Dataclass for preset configuration
-
-Functions:
-- `validate_preset()` - Validate preset structure
-- `validate_signal_path()` - Detect circular dependencies
-- `generate_preset_toml()` - Generate skeleton preset
-
-### Display System
-
-- **Display abstraction** (`engine/display/`): swap display backends via the Display protocol
-  - `display/backends/terminal.py` - ANSI terminal output
-  - `display/backends/websocket.py` - broadcasts to web clients via WebSocket
-  - `display/backends/sixel.py` - renders to Sixel graphics (pure Python, no C dependency)
-  - `display/backends/null.py` - headless display for testing
-  - `display/backends/multi.py` - forwards to multiple displays simultaneously
-  - `display/__init__.py` - DisplayRegistry for backend discovery
-
-- **WebSocket display** (`engine/display/backends/websocket.py`): real-time frame broadcasting to web browsers
-  - WebSocket server on port 8765
-  - HTTP server on port 8766 (serves HTML client)
-  - Client at `client/index.html` with ANSI color parsing and fullscreen support
-
-- **Display modes** (`--display` flag):
-  - `terminal` - Default ANSI terminal output
-  - `websocket` - Web browser display (requires websockets package)
-  - `sixel` - Sixel graphics in supported terminals (iTerm2, mintty, etc.)
-  - `both` - Terminal + WebSocket simultaneously
-
-### Effect Plugin System
-
-- **EffectPlugin ABC** (`engine/effects/types.py`): abstract base class for effects
-  - All effects must inherit from EffectPlugin and implement `process()` and `configure()`
-  - Runtime discovery via `effects_plugins/__init__.py` using `issubclass()` checks
-  
-- **EffectRegistry** (`engine/effects/registry.py`): manages registered effects
-- **EffectChain** (`engine/effects/chain.py`): chains effects in pipeline order
-
-### Command & Control
-
-- C&C uses separate ntfy topics for commands and responses
-- `NTFY_CC_CMD_TOPIC` - commands from cmdline.py
-- `NTFY_CC_RESP_TOPIC` - responses back to cmdline.py
-- Effects controller handles `/effects` commands (list, on/off, intensity, reorder, stats)
-
-### Pipeline Documentation
-
-The rendering pipeline is documented in `docs/PIPELINE.md` using Mermaid diagrams.
-
-**IMPORTANT**: When making significant architectural changes to the rendering pipeline (new layers, effects, display backends), update `docs/PIPELINE.md` to reflect the changes:
-1. Edit `docs/PIPELINE.md` with the new architecture
-2. If adding new SVG diagrams, render them manually using an external tool (e.g., Mermaid Live Editor)
-3. Commit both the markdown and any new diagram files
-
-## Skills Library
-
-A skills library MCP server (`skills`) is available for capturing and tracking learned knowledge. Skills are stored in `~/.skills/`.
-
-### Workflow
-
-**Before starting work:**
-1. Run `skills_list_skills` to see available skills
-2. Use `skills_peek_skill({name: "skill-name"})` to preview relevant skills
-3. Use `skills_skill_slice({name: "skill-name", query: "your question"})` to get relevant sections
-
-**While working:**
-- If a skill was wrong or incomplete: `skills_update_skill` → `skills_record_assessment` → `skills_report_outcome({quality: 1})`
-- If a skill worked correctly: `skills_report_outcome({quality: 4})` (normal) or `quality: 5` (perfect)
-
-**End of session:**
-- Run `skills_reflect_on_session({context_summary: "what you did"})` to identify new skills to capture
-- Use `skills_create_skill` to add new skills
-- Use `skills_record_assessment` to score them
-
-### Useful Tools
-- `skills_review_stale_skills()` - Skills due for review (negative days_until_due)
-- `skills_skills_report()` - Overview of entire collection
-- `skills_validate_skill({name: "skill-name"})` - Load skill for review with sources
-
-### Agent Skills
-
-This project also has Agent Skills (SKILL.md files) in `.opencode/skills/`. Use the `skill` tool to load them:
-- `skill({name: "mainline-architecture"})` - Pipeline stages, capability resolution
-- `skill({name: "mainline-effects"})` - How to add new effect plugins
-- `skill({name: "mainline-display"})` - Display backend implementation
-- `skill({name: "mainline-sources"})` - Adding new RSS feeds
-- `skill({name: "mainline-presets"})` - Creating pipeline presets
-- `skill({name: "mainline-sensors"})` - Sensor framework usage

 ### engine/scroll\.py
-
 The `stream()` function \(lines 804\-990\)\. Receives its dependencies via arguments or imports:
-
 * `stream(items, ntfy_poller, mic_monitor, config)` or similar
 * Message rendering \(lines 855\-909\) stays here since it's terminal\-display\-specific — a different visualizer would render messages differently

 * `main()` \(lines 1004\-1084\): CLI handling, signal setup, boot animation, fetch, wire up ntfy/mic/scroll
-
 ## Execution order
-
 ### Step 1: Create engine/ package skeleton
-
 Create `engine/__init__.py` and all empty module files\.
-
 ### Step 2: Extract pure data modules \(zero\-dep\)
-
 Move constants and data dicts into `config.py`, `sources.py`\. These have no logic dependencies\.
-
 ### Step 3: Extract terminal\.py
-
 Move ANSI codes and terminal I/O helpers\. No internal deps\.
-
 ### Step 4: Extract filter\.py and translate\.py
-
 Both are small, self\-contained\. translate imports from sources\.
-
 ### Step 5: Extract render\.py
-
 Font loading \+ the OTF→half\-block pipeline\. Imports from config, terminal, sources\. This is the module `serve.py` will later import\.
-
 ### Step 6: Extract effects\.py
-
 Visual effects\. Imports from config, terminal, sources\.
-
 ### Step 7: Extract fetch\.py
-
 Feed/Gutenberg fetching \+ caching\. Imports from config, sources, filter, terminal\.
-
 ### Step 8: Extract ntfy\.py and mic\.py
-
 Refactor globals\+threads into classes\. Zero internal deps\.
-
 ### Step 9: Extract scroll\.py
-
 The frame loop\. Last to extract because it depends on everything above\.
-
 ### Step 10: Extract app\.py
-
 The `main()` function, boot sequence, signal handler\. Wire up all modules\.
-
 ### Step 11: Slim down mainline\.py
-
 Keep only venv bootstrap \+ `from engine.app import main; main()`\.
-
 ### Step 12: Verify
-
 Run `python3 mainline.py`, `python3 mainline.py --poetry`, and `python3 mainline.py --firehose` to confirm identical behavior\. No behavioral changes in this refactor\.
-
 ## What this enables
-
 * **serve\.py** \(future\): `from engine.render import _render_line, _big_wrap` \+ `from engine.fetch import fetch_all` — imports the pipeline directly
 * **Other visualizers**: `from engine.ntfy import NtfyPoller` — doorbell feature with no coupling to mainline's scroll engine
 * **Rust port**: Clear boundaries for what to port first \(ntfy client, render pipeline\) vs what stays in Python \(fetching, caching — the server side\)

+# Color Scheme Switcher Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Implement interactive color theme picker at startup that lets users choose between green, orange, or purple gradients with complementary message queue colors.
+
+**Architecture:** New `themes.py` data module defines Theme class and THEME_REGISTRY. Config adds `ACTIVE_THEME` global set by picker. Render functions read from active theme instead of hardcoded constants. App adds picker UI that mirrors font picker pattern.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Python 3.10+, ANSI 256-color codes, existing terminal I/O utilities
+

+        )
+
+    # ... rest of function unchanged ...

+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add _default_green_gradient() fallback function**

+## Chunk 4: Message Gradient Integration
+
+### Task 4: Update scroll.py to use message gradient from config
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `engine/scroll.py:85-95`
+- Test: existing `tests/test_scroll.py`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Locate message gradient calls in scroll.py**
+
+Run: `grep -n "MSG_GRAD_COLS\|lr_gradient_opposite" /Users/genejohnson/Dev/mainline/engine/scroll.py`
+
+Expected: Should find line(s) where `MSG_GRAD_COLS` or similar is used
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update scroll.py to use theme message gradient**
+
+Edit `engine/scroll.py`, find the line that uses message gradients (around line 89 based on spec) and update:
+
+Old code:
+```python
+# Some variation of:
+rows = lr_gradient(rows, offset, MSG_GRAD_COLS)
+```
+
+New code:
+```python
+from engine import config
+msg_cols = (
+    config.ACTIVE_THEME.message_gradient
+    if config.ACTIVE_THEME
+    else render._default_magenta_gradient()
+)
+rows = lr_gradient(rows, offset, msg_cols)
+```
+
+Or use the helper approach (create `msg_gradient()` in render.py):
+
+```python
+def msg_gradient(rows, offset):
+    """Apply message (ntfy) gradient using theme complementary colors."""
+    from engine import config
+    cols = (
+        config.ACTIVE_THEME.message_gradient

+        else _default_magenta_gradient()
+    )
+    return lr_gradient(rows, offset, cols)
+```
+
+Then in scroll.py:
+```python
+rows = render.msg_gradient(rows, offset)
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run existing scroll tests**
+
+Run: `pytest tests/test_scroll.py -v`
+
+Expected: PASS (existing functionality unchanged)

+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add engine/scroll.py engine/render.py
+git commit -m "feat: update scroll.py to use theme message gradient

+## Chunk 5: Color Picker UI
+
+### Task 5: Create pick_color_theme() function in app.py
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `engine/app.py:1-300`
+- Test: manual/integration (interactive)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write helper functions for color picker UI**
+
+Edit `engine/app.py`, add before `pick_font_face()` function:
+
+```python
+def _draw_color_picker(themes_list, selected):
+    """Draw the color theme picker menu."""
+    import sys
+    from engine.terminal import CLR, W_GHOST, G_HI, G_DIM, tw
+
+    print(CLR, end="")
+    print()
+    print(f"  {G_HI}▼ COLOR THEME{W_GHOST} ─ ↑/↓ or j/k to move, Enter/q to select{G_DIM}")
+    print(f"  {W_GHOST}{'─' * (tw() - 4)}\n")
+
+    for i, (theme_id, theme) in enumerate(themes_list):
+        prefix = "  ▶ " if i == selected else "    "
+        color = G_HI if i == selected else ""
+        reset = "" if i == selected else W_GHOST
+        print(f"{prefix}{color}{theme.name}{reset}")
+
+    print()
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Create pick_color_theme() function**
+
+Edit `engine/app.py`, add after helper function:
+
+```python
+def pick_color_theme():
+    """Interactive color theme picker. Defaults to 'green' if not TTY."""
+    import sys
+    import termios

+    time.sleep(0.8)
+    print(CLR, end="")
+    print(CURSOR_OFF, end="")
+    print()
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update main() to call pick_color_theme() before pick_font_face()**
+
+Edit `engine/app.py`, find the `main()` function and locate where `pick_font_face()` is called (around line 265). Add before it:
+
+```python
+def main():
+    # ... existing signal handler setup ...
+
+    pick_color_theme()  # NEW LINE - before font picker
+    pick_font_face()
+
+    # ... rest of main unchanged ...
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Manual test - run in interactive terminal**
+
+Run: `python3 mainline.py`
+
+Expected:
+- See color theme picker menu before font picker
+- Can navigate with ↑/↓ or j/k
+- Can select with Enter or q
+- Selected theme applies to scrolling headlines
+- Can select different themes and see colors change
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Manual test - run in non-interactive environment**
+
+Run: `echo "" | python3 mainline.py`
+
+Expected:
+- No color picker menu shown
+- Defaults to green theme
+- App runs without error
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add engine/app.py
+git commit -m "feat: add pick_color_theme() UI and integration

+- [ ] **Step 2: Run linter**
+
+Run: `ruff check engine/ mainline.py`

+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Manual integration test - green theme**
+
+Run: `python3 mainline.py`
+
+Then select "Verdant Green" from picker.
+
+Expected:
+- Headlines render in green → deep green
+- ntfy messages render in magenta gradient
+- Both work correctly during streaming

+- [ ] **Step 6: Test poetry mode with color picker**
+
+Run: `python3 mainline.py --poetry`
+
+Then select "orange" from picker.
+
+Expected:
+- Poetry mode works with color picker
+- Colors apply to poetry rendering
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Test code mode with color picker**
+
+Run: `python3 mainline.py --code`
+
+Then select "purple" from picker.
+
+Expected:
+- Code mode works with color picker
+- Colors apply to code rendering

+# Code Scroll Mode — Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-16
+**Branch:** feat/code-scroll
+**Status:** Approved
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Add a `--code` CLI flag that puts MAINLINE into "source consciousness" mode. Instead of RSS headlines or poetry stanzas, the program's own source code scrolls upward as large OTF half-block characters with the standard white-hot → deep green gradient. Each scroll item is one non-blank, non-comment line from `engine/*.py`, attributed to its enclosing function/class scope and dotted module path.
+
+---
+
+## Goals
+
+- Mirror the existing `--poetry` mode pattern as closely as possible
+- Zero new runtime dependencies (stdlib `ast` and `pathlib` only)
+- No changes to `scroll.py` or the render pipeline
+- The item tuple shape `(text, src, ts)` is unchanged
+
+---
+
+## New Files
+
+### `engine/fetch_code.py`
+
+Single public function `fetch_code()` that returns `(items, line_count, 0)`.
+
+**Algorithm:**
+
+1. Glob `engine/*.py` in sorted order
+2. For each file:
+   a. Read source text
+   b. `ast.parse(source)` → build a `{line_number: scope_label}` map by walking all `FunctionDef`, `AsyncFunctionDef`, and `ClassDef` nodes. Each node covers its full line range. Inner scopes override outer ones.
+   c. Iterate source lines (1-indexed). Skip if:
+      - The stripped line is empty
+      - The stripped line starts with `#`
+   d. For each kept line emit:
+      - `text` = `line.rstrip()` (preserve indentation for readability in the big render)
+      - `src` = scope label from the AST map, e.g. `stream()` for functions, `MicMonitor` for classes, `<module>` for top-level lines
+      - `ts` = dotted module path derived from filename, e.g. `engine/scroll.py` → `engine.scroll`
+3. Return `(items, len(items), 0)`
+
+**Scope label rules:**
+- `FunctionDef` / `AsyncFunctionDef` → `name()`
+- `ClassDef` → `name` (no parens)
+- No enclosing node → `<module>`
+
+**Dependencies:** `ast`, `pathlib` — stdlib only.
+
+---
+
+## Modified Files
+
+### `engine/config.py`
+
+Extend `MODE` detection to recognise `--code`:
+
+```python
+MODE = (
+    "poetry" if "--poetry" in sys.argv or "-p" in sys.argv
+    else "code" if "--code" in sys.argv
+    else "news"
+)
+```
+
+### `engine/app.py`
+
+**Subtitle line** — extend the subtitle dict:
+
+```python
+_subtitle = {
+    "poetry": "literary consciousness stream",
+    "code":   "source consciousness stream",
+}.get(config.MODE, "digital consciousness stream")
+```
+
+**Boot sequence** — add `elif config.MODE == "code":` branch after the poetry branch:
+
+```python
+elif config.MODE == "code":
+    from engine.fetch_code import fetch_code
+    slow_print("  > INITIALIZING SOURCE ARRAY...\n")
+    time.sleep(0.2)
+    print()
+    items, line_count, _ = fetch_code()
+    print()
+    print(f"  {G_DIM}>{RST} {G_MID}{line_count} LINES ACQUIRED{RST}")
+```
+
+No cache save/load — local source files are read instantly and change only on disk writes.
+
+---
+
+## Data Flow
+
+```
+engine/*.py (sorted)
+    │
+    ▼
+fetch_code()
+    │  ast.parse → scope map
+    │  filter blank + comment lines
+    │  emit (line, scope(), engine.module)
+    ▼
+items: List[Tuple[str, str, str]]
+    │
+    ▼
+stream(items, ntfy, mic)   ← unchanged
+    │
+    ▼
+next_headline() shuffles + recycles automatically
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- If a file fails to `ast.parse` (malformed source), fall back to `<module>` scope for all lines in that file — do not crash.
+- If `engine/` contains no `.py` files (shouldn't happen in practice), `fetch_code()` returns an empty list; `app.py`'s existing `if not items:` guard handles this.
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+New file: `tests/test_fetch_code.py`
+
+| Test | Assertion |
+|------|-----------|
+| `test_items_are_tuples` | Every item from `fetch_code()` is a 3-tuple of strings |
+| `test_blank_and_comment_lines_excluded` | No item text is empty; no item text (stripped) starts with `#` |
+| `test_module_path_format` | Every `ts` field matches pattern `engine\.\w+` |
+
+No mocking — tests read the real engine source files, keeping them honest against actual content.
+
+---
+
+## CLI
+
+```bash
+python3 mainline.py --code        # source consciousness mode
+uv run mainline.py --code
+```
+
+Compatible with all existing flags (`--no-font-picker`, `--font-file`, `--firehose`, etc.).
+
+---
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Syntax highlighting / token-aware coloring (can be added later)
+- `--code-dir` flag for pointing at arbitrary directories (YAGNI)
+- Caching code items to disk

+# Color Scheme Switcher Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-16
+**Status:** Revised after review
+**Scope:** Interactive color theme selection for Mainline news ticker
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Mainline currently renders news headlines with a fixed white-hot → deep green gradient. This feature adds an interactive theme picker at startup that lets users choose between three precise color schemes (green, orange, purple), each with complementary message queue colors.
+
+The implementation uses a dedicated `Theme` class to encapsulate gradients and metadata, enabling future extensions like random rotation, animation, or additional themes without architectural changes.
+
+---
+
+## Requirements
+
+**Functional:**
+1. User selects a color theme from an interactive menu at startup (green, orange, or purple)
+2. Main headline gradient uses the selected primary color (white → color)
+3. Message queue (ntfy) gradient uses the precise complementary color (white → opposite)
+4. Selection is fresh each run (no persistence)
+5. Design supports future "random rotation" mode without refactoring
+
+**Complementary colors (precise opposites):**
+- Green (38;5;22) → Magenta (38;5;89) *(current, unchanged)*
+- Orange (38;5;208) → Blue (38;5;21)
+- Purple (38;5;129) → Yellow (38;5;226)
+
+**Non-functional:**
+- Reuse the existing font picker pattern for UI consistency
+- Zero runtime overhead during streaming (theme lookup happens once at startup)
+- **Boot UI (title, subtitle, status lines) use hardcoded green color constants (G_HI, G_DIM, G_MID); only scrolling headlines and ntfy messages use theme gradients**
+- Font picker UI remains hardcoded green for visual continuity
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+### New Module: `engine/themes.py`
+
+**Data-only module:** Contains Theme class, THEME_REGISTRY, and get_theme() function. **Imports only typing; does NOT import config or render** to prevent circular dependencies.
+
+```python
+class Theme:
+    """Encapsulates a color scheme: name, main gradient, message gradient."""
+
+    def __init__(self, name: str, main_gradient: list[str], message_gradient: list[str]):
+        self.name = name
+        self.main_gradient = main_gradient      # white → primary color
+        self.message_gradient = message_gradient  # white → complementary
+```
+
+**Theme Registry:**
+Three instances registered by ID: `"green"`, `"orange"`, `"purple"` (IDs match menu labels for clarity).

+
+---
+
+### Modified: `engine/config.py`
+
+**New globals:**
+```python
+ACTIVE_THEME = None  # set by set_active_theme() after picker; guaranteed non-None during stream()
+```
+
+**New function:**
+```python
+def set_active_theme(theme_id: str = "green"):
+    """Set the active theme. Defaults to 'green' if not specified."""
+    global ACTIVE_THEME
+    from engine import themes
+    ACTIVE_THEME = themes.get_theme(theme_id)
+```
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Called by `app.pick_color_theme()` with user selection
+- Has default fallback to "green" for non-interactive environments (CI, testing, piped stdin)
+- Guarantees `ACTIVE_THEME` is set before any render functions are called
+
+**Removal:**
+- Delete hardcoded `GRAD_COLS` and `MSG_GRAD_COLS` constants
+
+---
+
+### Modified: `engine/render.py`
+
+**Updated gradient access in existing functions:**
+
+Current pattern (will be removed):
+```python
+GRAD_COLS = [...]  # hardcoded green
+MSG_GRAD_COLS = [...] # hardcoded magenta
+```
+
+New pattern — update `lr_gradient()` function:
+```python
+def lr_gradient(rows, offset, cols=None):
+    if cols is None:
+        from engine import config
+        cols = (config.ACTIVE_THEME.main_gradient
+                if config.ACTIVE_THEME
+                else _default_green_gradient())
+    # ... rest of function unchanged
+```
+
+**Define fallback:**
+```python
+def _default_green_gradient():
+    """Fallback green gradient (current colors)."""
+    return [
+        "\033[1;38;5;231m", "\033[1;38;5;195m", "\033[38;5;123m",
+        "\033[38;5;118m", "\033[38;5;82m", "\033[38;5;46m",
+        "\033[38;5;40m", "\033[38;5;34m", "\033[38;5;28m",
+        "\033[38;5;22m", "\033[2;38;5;22m", "\033[2;38;5;235m",
+    ]
+```
+
+**Message gradient handling:**
+
+The existing code (scroll.py line 89) calls `lr_gradient()` with `MSG_GRAD_COLS`. Change this call to:
+```python
+# Instead of: lr_gradient(rows, offset, MSG_GRAD_COLS)
+# Use:
+from engine import config
+cols = (config.ACTIVE_THEME.message_gradient
+        if config.ACTIVE_THEME
+        else _default_magenta_gradient())
+lr_gradient(rows, offset, cols)
+```
+
+or define a helper:
+```python
+def msg_gradient(rows, offset):
+    """Apply message (ntfy) gradient using theme complementary colors."""
+    from engine import config
+    cols = (config.ACTIVE_THEME.message_gradient
+            if config.ACTIVE_THEME
+            else _default_magenta_gradient())
+    return lr_gradient(rows, offset, cols)
+```
+
+---
+
+### Modified: `engine/app.py`
+
+**New function: `pick_color_theme()`**
+
+Mirrors `pick_font_face()` pattern:
+
+```python
+def pick_color_theme():
+    """Interactive color theme picker. Defaults to 'green' if not TTY."""
+    import sys
+    from engine import config, themes
+
+    # Non-interactive fallback: use default
+    if not sys.stdin.isatty():
+        config.set_active_theme("green")
+        return
+
+    # Interactive picker (similar to font picker)
+    themes_list = list(themes.THEME_REGISTRY.items())
+    selected = 0
+
+    # ... render menu, handle arrow keys j/k, ↑/↓ ...
+    # ... on Enter, call config.set_active_theme(themes_list[selected][0]) ...
+```
+
+**Placement in `main()`:**
+```python
+def main():
+    # ... signal handler setup ...
+    pick_color_theme()  # NEW — before title/subtitle
+    pick_font_face()
+    # ... rest of boot sequence, title/subtitle use hardcoded G_HI/G_DIM ...
+```
+
+**Important:** The title and subtitle render with hardcoded `G_HI`/`G_DIM` constants, not theme gradients. This is intentional for visual consistency with the font picker menu.
+
+---
+
+## Data Flow
+
+```
+User starts: mainline.py
+    ↓
+main() called
+    ↓
+pick_color_theme()
+    → If TTY: display menu, read input, call config.set_active_theme(user_choice)
+    → If not TTY: silently call config.set_active_theme("green")
+    ↓
+pick_font_face() — renders in hardcoded green UI colors
+    ↓
+Boot messages (title, status) — all use hardcoded G_HI/G_DIM (not theme gradients)
+    ↓
+stream() — headlines + ntfy messages use config.ACTIVE_THEME gradients
+    ↓
+On exit: no persistence
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Initialization Guarantee
+`config.ACTIVE_THEME` is guaranteed to be non-None before `stream()` is called because:
+1. `pick_color_theme()` always sets it (either interactively or via fallback)
+2. It's called before any rendering happens
+3. Default fallback ensures non-TTY environments don't crash
+
+### Module Independence
+`themes.py` is a pure data module with no imports of `config` or `render`. This prevents circular dependencies and allows it to be imported by multiple consumers without side effects.
+
+### Color Code Finalization
+All three gradient sequences (green, orange, purple main + complementary) are now finalized with specific ANSI codes. No TBD placeholders remain.
+
+### Theme ID Naming
+IDs are `"green"`, `"orange"`, `"purple"` — matching the menu labels exactly for clarity.
+
+### Terminal Resize Handling
+The `pick_color_theme()` function mirrors `pick_font_face()`, which does not handle terminal resizing during the picker display. If the terminal is resized while the picker menu is shown, the menu redraw may be incomplete; pressing any key (arrow, j/k, q) continues normally. This is acceptable because:
+1. The picker completes quickly (< 5 seconds typical interaction)
+2. Once a theme is selected, the menu closes and rendering begins
+3. The streaming phase (`stream()`) is resilient to terminal resizing and auto-reflows to new dimensions
+
+No special resize handling is needed for the color picker beyond what exists for the font picker.
+
+### Testing Strategy
+1. **Unit tests** (`tests/test_themes.py`):
+   - Verify Theme class construction
+   - Test THEME_REGISTRY lookup (valid and invalid IDs)
+   - Confirm gradient lists have correct length (12)
+
+2. **Integration tests** (`tests/test_render.py`):
+   - Mock `config.ACTIVE_THEME` to each theme
+   - Verify `lr_gradient()` uses correct colors
+   - Verify fallback works when `ACTIVE_THEME` is None
+
+3. **Existing tests:**
+   - Render tests that check gradient output will need to mock `config.ACTIVE_THEME`
+   - Use pytest fixtures to set theme per test case
+
+---
+
+## Files Changed
+- `engine/themes.py` (new)
+- `engine/config.py` (add `ACTIVE_THEME`, `set_active_theme()`)
+- `engine/render.py` (replace GRAD_COLS/MSG_GRAD_COLS references with config lookups)
+- `engine/app.py` (add `pick_color_theme()`, call in main)
+- `tests/test_themes.py` (new unit tests)
+- `tests/test_render.py` (update mocking strategy)
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+1. ✓ Color picker displays 3 theme options at startup
+2. ✓ Selection applies to all headline and message gradients
+3. ✓ Boot UI (title, status) uses hardcoded green (not theme)
+4. ✓ Scrolling headlines and ntfy messages use theme gradients
+5. ✓ No persistence between runs
+6. ✓ Non-TTY environments default to green without error
+7. ✓ Architecture supports future random/animation modes
+8. ✓ All gradient color codes finalized with no TBD values

-- StageRegistry: Unified registration for all stage types
-
-The pipeline architecture supports:
-- Sources: Data providers (headlines, poetry, pipeline viz)
-- Effects: Post-processors (noise, fade, glitch, hud)
-- Displays: Output backends (terminal, pygame, websocket)
-- Cameras: Viewport controllers (vertical, horizontal, omni)
