-i18n plugin: I18nService (ns×locale dictionaries, bind(ns)→t with a stable function identity, locale store). Contract: api-contracts v3 §8.
-
-## Model Experience
-
-None, as the i18n registry serves browser UI copy; nothing here reaches a model request.
-
-#### KV Cache effect
-
-None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.
-
-## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
-
- **zh/en ship as empty structures** — the existing UI copy is inline Chinese; extraction into dictionaries is deferred repo-wide work, so `bind(ns)` consumers today mostly receive key-echo fallbacks.
- **Locale switching re-renders the whole tree** — accepted as a low-frequency operation; no per-namespace subscription granularity.

-i18n 插件：I18nService（ns×locale 字典、bind(ns)→t 且函数标识稳定、locale store）。契约：api-contracts v3 §8。
-
-## 模型体验
-
-无。i18n 注册表为浏览器 UI 文案提供服务；这里没有任何内容进入模型请求。
-
-#### KV Cache 影响
-
-无；该包既不组装也不发送提供方请求。
-
-## 已知限制与暂缓事项
-
- **zh/en 以空结构交付**：现有 UI 文案是内联中文；将其提取到字典中属于暂缓的全仓工作，因此 `bind(ns)` 消费方目前大多收到回显 key 的回退值。
- **切换 locale 会重新渲染整棵树**：这是低频操作，可以接受；没有逐 namespace 的订阅粒度。

+Shell plugin: three-column AppFrame (drag handles and concession chain) plus the `ctx.layout` panel-geometry service; it registers into the runtime-owned `root` slot and declares `sidebar`, `conversation`, `details`, and `conversation.empty`. The sidebar is fixed-width (only details shrinks, then auto-closes); a closed sidebar retains a 56px control rail while details closes to zero width. The package also seats the theme presenter: it consumes resolved `ctx.theme` snapshots and projects them onto `document.body` (`data-ds-dark-theme` from the active color scheme plus the theme's alias tokens as inline variables).

 AppFrame reads the runtime Session projection: `baselinesReady` selects loading, a page-local `SessionListState.intent` selects the empty composer, and a connected Session renders through `SessionProvider`. The conversation and empty-state owner shares are empty; each registrant obtains business data from standard hooks and actions from its own inject face. The sidebar owner share contains only `collapsed` and `width`; navigation actions belong to sidebar's own injected service face.

 AppFrame 读取运行时 Session 投影：`baselinesReady` 选择加载状态，页面局部的 `SessionListState.intent` 选择空白编辑器，已连接 Session 则通过 `SessionProvider` 渲染。会话及空状态的 owner share 为空；每个注册方通过标准 hook 获取业务数据，并从自身的 inject 表层获取操作。侧边栏 owner share 只包含 `collapsed` 和 `width`；导航操作属于侧边栏自身注入的服务表层。

+
+Models settings section plugin: registers the `models` nav entry into `settings.section` with an intentionally empty content column — model management lands in a later phase.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+None, as the section renders an empty browser UI column; nothing here reaches a model request.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Content column is empty by design** — provider list, editing form, and activation flow are deferred until the model-management service exists.

+
+模型设置分区插件：注册 `models` 导航项，使其进入 `settings.section`；内容栏有意留空，模型管理将在后续阶段实现。
+
+## 模型体验
+
+无。该分区渲染空白的浏览器 UI 内容栏；这里没有任何内容进入模型请求。
+
+#### KV Cache 影响
+
+无；该包既不组装也不发送提供方请求。
+
+## 已知限制与暂缓事项
+
+- **内容栏按设计留空**：提供方列表、编辑表单和激活流程均暂缓，待模型管理服务就绪后实现。

+Settings ownerless-copy plugin: registers everything on the Settings surface that belongs to no single feature — the shell's trigger/header/close chrome content, the General section (Permission/Tool Call skeleton rows + the `settings.general.item` slot declaration), and the `settings` dictionaries. Feature-owned rows (Language, Appearance) and sections (Models) stay with their feature packages.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+None, as the plugin renders browser settings UI; nothing here reaches a model request.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Permission and Tool Call are display skeletons** — the backing host services and RPC methods do not exist yet; the controls are disabled and write nothing. When they gain real backing, each moves to its owning feature plugin per the self-registration doctrine.

+[English](README.md) | 中文
+
+设置界面文案插件：在设置界面注册所有不属于单一功能的内容，包括外壳的触发器、标题栏与关闭控件内容，「通用」分区（「权限」／「工具调用」骨架行和 `settings.general.item` slot 声明），以及 `settings` 字典。归具体功能所有的行（「语言」、「外观」）和分区（「模型」）仍由各自的功能包提供。
+
+## 模型体验
+
+无。该插件渲染浏览器设置 UI；这里没有任何内容进入模型请求。
+
+#### KV Cache 影响
+
+无；该包既不组装也不发送提供方请求。
+
+## 已知限制与暂缓事项
+
+- **「权限」与「工具调用」只是展示骨架**：对应的宿主服务和 RPC 方法尚不存在；这些控件已禁用，不会写入任何内容。一旦获得实际支撑，按照自注册原则，每一项都会移至拥有它的功能插件。

+Settings shell plugin: a pure composition face. It occupies `sidebar.settings` with the trigger chrome and the modal settings panel, and declares the slots registrants fill: `settings.trigger` / `settings.header` / `settings.close` (chrome content) and `settings.section` (one page per feature). The shell ships no copy and reads no locale state — all text arrives from registrants (ui-settings-general owns chrome and General; features own their sections and rows), so the section ledger bump is its only re-render trigger.
+
+## Model Experience
+
+None, as the settings shell serves browser UI composition; nothing here reaches a model request.
+
+#### KV Cache effect
+
+None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.
+
+## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
+
+- **Panel is browser-preference scope only** — host-side settings surfaces (permission mode, tool-call mode) have no RPC backing yet; their skeletons live in ui-settings-general.

+设置外壳插件：一个纯组合表层。它以触发控件和模态设置面板占用 `sidebar.settings`，并声明由注册方填充的 slot：`settings.trigger`／`settings.header`／`settings.close`（界面框架内容）和 `settings.section`（每项功能一页）。外壳不自带文案，也不读取 locale 状态：所有文本都来自注册方（ui-settings-general 拥有界面框架和「通用」分区；各功能拥有各自的分区和行），因此只有分区账本更新会触发它重新渲染。
+
+## 模型体验
+
+无。设置外壳为浏览器 UI 提供组合能力；这里没有任何内容进入模型请求。
+
+#### KV Cache 影响
+
+无；该包既不组装也不发送提供方请求。
+
+## 已知限制与暂缓事项
+
+- **面板仅涵盖浏览器偏好设置**：宿主侧设置表层（权限模式、工具调用模式）尚无 RPC 支撑；其骨架位于 ui-settings-general。
