Tyrell menu-bar Liquid Glass mock targets

Created three preview-only visual targets for the Tyrell menu-bar redesign so Rich can compare the approved Overview, full Usage, and configurable Meters states before source implementation. The work matters because it establishes a native macOS control hierarchy and preserves truthful usage evidence semantics, including Unavailable instead of fabricated 0% values.

Scope

• Host: rdmsm4x
• Project examined: /Users/richh/dev/apps/tyrell
• Project source mutation: none
• Repository state observed after work: main at 7b3e0aed3aa05de577ce0b7119f185ba91ba9518; pre-existing modified .DS_Store remains untouched

• This changelog file

The discarded first Meters render remains preserved at /Users/richh/.codex/generated_images/01a04277-a949-77f1-8f07-57ff6a8ff90f/exec-c8148f2e-c10d-4ee4-8aa8-39b07e8d47a2.png; it is not a final target because it invented monetary values and percentages for activity-only evidence.

Commands and actions

• Inspected the supplied screenshot and relevant Tyrell and RTTy SwiftUI source read-only.
• Generated three UI mock states with the built-in image-generation workflow, then ran one targeted correction pass on the Meters state.
• Opened/queued the three final PNGs in Codex image tabs and rendered them inline.
• Verified the pointer packet at /Users/richh/dev/_nocontext/inbox/2026-08-27/llm-work-reconciliation-to-tyrell-pointer-20260827 with shasum -a 256.
• Read the predecessor recovery schema and current Tyrell README.md and SessionsPanel.swift read-only.
• Sent an explicit RECEIVED and ACCEPTED response to source task 01a040ae-f560-7d32-a77e-ecc0ffe1a18d.
• Ran ~/.agent-coordination/agent_msg.zsh send to coordinate the visual targets and provenance gap with claude@rdmsm4x.
• Ran git rev-parse HEAD and git status --short --branch to confirm that Tyrell source state was not changed.

Verification evidence

• All three final mock images rendered successfully and were visually inspected.
• The corrected Meters target contains no monetary values, labels Google as 53 steps, labels Fleet as 5 of 6 reporting, and retains the disabled LiteLLM proxy spend — Unavailable menu item.
• Packet hashes matched the handoff exactly:
  • README.md: bf7375bc21c177caf29e7c273220186b40b4407aa9b2f96e75f4801d1266ba22
  • manifest.json: 77eb9e87ba86409650e652d83082639b49d89376c12b26ea853ce8973427395a
• Tyrell README.md explicitly absorbs the predecessor provenance schema; the current SessionsPanel row model still lacks status, confidence, evidence, and validation persistence.
• No secrets, raw session content, credentials, provider databases, or personal data were copied into the artifacts or messages.

Recovery and undo

• The original supplied screenshot and Tyrell repository were not modified.
• Generated PNGs are additive preview artifacts and can be removed later if Rich no longer wants them.
• The fleet-bus message is immutable by design; any correction should be sent as a follow-up message rather than altering history.

Outstanding actions

• Rich: review the three visual targets and call out any visual changes.
• claude@rdmsm4x: reply with current Tyrell writer/worktree/HEAD/dirty state and integrate the approved direction from an isolated writer lane when assigned.
• Implementation has not begun; no release, deployment, or public action occurred.
