Kristian WindandClaude Opus 5 19aa02e80c feat(projects): section headings you can count at a glance, and an Inbox that speaks the language
Two from use.

Section headings were small uppercase text over a hairline — a heading you have to
look for. A project with four sections is four groups, and the eye should be able
to count them without reading a word, so the heading gets a ground of its own and
the rows sit against the page. `--surface` rather than a tint of the accent: the
colour on that page belongs to the project, and a section is not a second thing to
colour. A step in lightness separates them in all five themes without anybody
measuring anything.

And the Inbox. The server names it at account creation, before anybody has seen a
settings page, so it is the one project name nobody chose — and an account made in
Danish went on saying "Indbakke" inside an English interface, which reads as a
string somebody forgot to translate. It was. `projectName()` translates it while it
still carries the name the server gave it; rename it and that is your name for it,
in every language, like any other project. The rename field keeps the raw name, or
editing a translated label would save the translation.

The screenshot set gains the list view, which is where sections read as bands
rather than as columns — and the shape most people actually work in.

/**
* Captures the screenshots the landing page, the README and the docs use.
*
* node scripts/generate-screenshots.js
*
* A script rather than a test, for the same reason as generate-icons.js: CI must
* never rewrite a tracked binary file. Run it when the interface changes.
*
* It replaces the hand-driven half of `go run ./tools/shots`, which needs a
* running instance and a session cookie pasted in by hand — and which therefore
* ran rarely enough that the images fell many rounds behind the app they show.
* This one starts the real binary, creates its own account, fills it with the
* demo data, and takes the pictures. Nothing to set up and nothing to remember.
*
* The binary, not the dev server: the screenshots should show what ships. That
* means building the frontend and copying it into cmd/verdande/webbuild first,
* exactly as the smoke tests do — a capture of a stale embedded build would be a
* picture of an app nobody is running.
