Implements the redesign from docs/ui-audit.html. Rearrangement only — no
feature was removed; every control that moved kept its handler, and the
gates that used to hide things now grey them out instead.
Navigation
* The rail is one flat list: the five Workspace sub-views sit at the top
level instead of behind an accordion, with Dashboard/Monitoring pinned
at the foot and Settings below them.
* Cowork and GraphRAG stay listed and greyed while no project is
selected, rather than vanishing and resizing the menu under the user.
* Monitoring keeps its eight sub-views in its own tab strip (unhidden)
instead of doubling the rail's length.
* _goto now moves the highlight itself, fixing a long-standing bug where
programmatic navigation left the rail pointing at the previous screen.
* Rail header gained the project picker and "New chat"; RECENTS lists the
active project's threads. Both are second views of existing state — the
Cowork toolbar button and the full History panel are untouched.
* Provider / language / theme moved from the top bar to an account row at
the foot of the rail (same widgets, same signals).
Screens
* Co4E: the flow tab strip is gone (per the design); Flow Status became a
toolbar toggle with its own way back, and the three icon-only tabs became
four labelled, foldable sections in one column. One flow open at a time
is the one capability this costs; background runs are unaffected.
* Dashboard: header split into two rows; cost promoted to a hero card.
* Monitoring Overview: one scrolling column of titled sections; the model
price table got its own full-width section instead of sharing a row with
the CPU meters.
* Settings and Task editor gained a section index down the left.
* Help dock: 84x64 launcher + chevron became one 26px dot that expands to
a labelled pill on hover; "hide to the edge" moved into the panel's menu.
Layout
* The window's minimum width dropped from 1453px to 768px. The main cause
was a QTabWidget taking its minimum from the widest page even when that
page is hidden, so Co4E was forcing Project and Cowork wide.
* Secondary panes fold themselves on a narrow window and restore when it
grows, never overriding a fold the user made.
* The long dialogs no longer scroll sideways at any font size.
Verification: tools/check_*.py build a real MainWindow offscreen against a
copy of ~/.cowork_local with the schedulers no-oped. check_design_parity.py
reads its checklist straight from the audit page's own proposals.

Cowork Local
Cowork Local is the internal AI cowork desktop platform owned by the Cowork Team. It provides the Cowork runtime, workspace and agent experiences, MCP/connectors, security controls, and model routing foundation.
The Cowork Team owns this product and its stable branch. The FSG AI Core Team contributes selected reusable capabilities through branches and Pull Requests; it is not the owner or final merger of this repository.
Quick start
The imported application is a Python/PySide6 package. Run it from the directory that contains cowork_local:
python -m cowork_local
The source snapshot does not include a complete runtime dependency manifest. Use the Cowork Team's supported runtime environment until that packaging contract is documented. The reliable automated test surface currently checked by CI is:
python -m pip install -r cowork_local/requirements-test.txt
python -m pytest cowork_local/tests -q
When already inside this repository, run python -m pytest tests -q.
Configuration and runtime data live under ~/.cowork_local/. Provider keys and local unlock codes must be supplied through environment variables or an approved secret manager; see .env.example.
Contributing
Start with START_CONTRIBUTING.md, then read CONTRIBUTING.md. Core AI task execution remains in fsg-ai-core-assets; source changes are reviewed as Pull Requests in this repository.
Security concerns should follow SECURITY.md. Ownership and completion rules are documented under docs/governance/.
