**Recent activity.** The console could describe the present — a status snapshot —
but never the recent past. A client that connected and left while you were on
another page left no trace anywhere you could look, and the host's own log is a
developer artifact rather than a narrative. The event stream was already open for
cache invalidation, so a feed costs one ring buffer next to it: every frame is
recorded, labelled per kind, and rendered newest-first on the dashboard.
Deliberately in-memory and bounded to 200. It starts empty on a page load and
fills as things happen, which is the honest shape for a live tail — an audit
trail would need the host to keep one, and pretending otherwise would be worse
than not having it.
**Connect a device.** The console knew the host's address and identity all along
and never offered either in a form you could hand to a phone: pairing meant
reading an IP off the Host page and retyping it on a couch. There is a card now
with the address and a `punktfunk://connect/<uniqueid>` deep link, both
copyable — the link is the shipped client grammar
(clients/shared/deeplink-vectors.json), so an installed client opens straight
onto this host. No QR: rendering one needs an encoder we do not bundle, and a
wrong QR is worse than none.
**Installable.** A web manifest and the theme/apple meta tags, so the console can
live on a phone's home screen — which is where it is used from as often as from a
desk. No service worker on purpose: an offline shell for a console whose every
screen is live host state would only ever show stale numbers convincingly. The
manifest is reachable without a session (install needs it, and it says nothing
the login page doesn't); /api stays gated, verified.
Verified in a browser: three host-emitted events appear in the feed with the
right labels, the deep link renders and copies as
`punktfunk://connect/abc123`, and the manifest serves 200 as
application/manifest+json while /api/v1/host still answers 401.
