The label column is the widest tool title plus two cells of gap, which
leaves the muted description 47 to work in. All 22 of them ran past it —
"Act on the device itself — clock, backup, identity key, reboot, reset"
needed 94 columns of terminal to say what 67 could. The row scrolled
under ←→ rather than lying, but a description you have to scroll is a
description nobody reads.
Rewritten to fit: the subject moves into the title's shadow (the row
already says Device actions, so the description just lists them), the
parenthetical asides go, and the trailing clause that repeated the
obvious goes with them. Widest row is now exactly 72.

The menu asks "What would you like to do?" and then grouped its rows by
subject, which is not an answer to that. Mesh had grown to seven of the
nineteen rows — live watching, passive browsing, and one transmit action
in the same bucket — and Tools said nothing at all, since everything in
the menu is a tool.
So each section now names a doing, and holds what shares it:
Message Chat · Channels · Courier · Contacts
Watch Dashboard · Live feed · Watchtower · Time machine
Explore Map · Mesh walk · Trace target · Trace path · Trophy case
This node Device info · Device configuration · Device actions · Send advert
Other nodes Repeater admin · TX optimize
Four rows moved for a reason. Contacts is the address book the three
features above it pick a recipient from, not a mesh view. Time machine is
the past tense of the Dashboard, and was stranded in the grab-bag. Send
advert is your own node announcing itself — a device action, filed with
the mesh views only because it was about the mesh. And Repeater admin and
TX optimize are the same job — someone else's radio, over the mesh, with
credentials — which the old Device-management/Tools split hid.
The two walks join the topology views they walk over, with the boards
that score them underneath: see a node, walk to it, get scored. Nothing
is renamed (a menu row still names the screen it opens) and no section is
now larger than five rows or smaller than two.

The passive monitor has been writing every overheard packet to the
database since the first session; nothing surfaced that history beyond
the dashboard's two-hour window. A new Tools-section explorer pays it
off: pick the whole mesh or any node ever heard and read its past as
braille charts over a switchable 24 h / 7 d / 30 d / all-time window
(w cycles). A node shows its reception volume, a median-SNR band
scaled between its own extremes and coloured by quality, its
hour-of-day rhythm, and the roll-up record; the mesh page shows
packets and nodes per day, first-ever arrivals, and the all-time
ledger. Histories read chronologically — oldest left, now right —
unlike the live dashboard's sliding chart.
Three repository queries feed it: a windowed per-node observation
record (packet rows excluded, as everywhere reception is attributed),
per-UTC-day activity totals, and first-ever appearances with names.
Everything is stored data; no device is needed and nothing transmits.
