 ⚠️ **`sendEnterKey()` MUST go through `terminal._core.coreService.triggerDataEvent('\r', true)`** — not `sendInput()`, and never a raw POST to `/api/sessions/:id/input`. `localEchoEnabled` defaults to `MobileDetection.isTouchDevice()`, so on every phone the characters you type are buffered in the `LocalEchoOverlay` and have **never reached the PTY**; the `onData` Enter branch in terminal-ui.js is what flushes `pendingText` first and only then sends `\r` (after an 80ms delay so text lands first). Sending a bare `\r` submits an empty line and strands the typed text on screen, so the button looks dead. Replaying the keypress reuses the overlay flush, the flushed-offset cleanup and the ordering instead of reimplementing them. `KeyboardAccessory.sendKey()` is for escape sequences (arrows/Esc) and is the WRONG template to copy for input.
 
-⚠️ **Skin overrides outrank plain class rules.** `styles.css` nests its skin block inside `html:not([data-skin="og"]) { … }`, so a bare `.btn-toolbar` rule in there resolves to specificity **(0,2,1)** and beats a `.btn-toolbar.btn-x` rule **(0,2,0)** in `mobile.css` regardless of load order. Toolbar-button colors set from mobile.css therefore need `!important` — that is why mobile.css leans on it so heavily. Symptom: only your `!important` properties land and everything else silently renders in generic toolbar grey.
+⚠️ **Skin overrides outrank plain class rules.** `styles.css` nests its skin block inside `html:not([data-skin="og"]) { … }`, so a bare `.btn-toolbar` rule in there resolves to specificity **(0,2,1)** and beats a `.btn-toolbar.btn-x` rule **(0,2,0)** in `mobile.css` regardless of load order. Toolbar-button colors set from mobile.css therefore need `!important` — that is why mobile.css leans on it so heavily. Symptom: only your `!important` properties land and everything else silently renders in generic toolbar grey. Press feedback on the phone bars sidesteps this: the `:active` rules for `.btn-toolbar`, the mobile icon buttons and `.accessory-btn` (mobile.css) use `transform` and `filter` only, which nothing on these buttons sets at a higher specificity, so one rule reads the same on every skin; a background `:active` lost to the skin block on all but og, and an inset `box-shadow` lost to the skin hover rules, which is why neither is used. The light skins darken instead of brightening, and `prefers-reduced-motion` drops the scale.
 
 **Connection-loss UI** (`computeConnectionLossUi()` in constants.js, writer `_updateConnectionLossUi()` in app.js): the service worker serves the cached app shell, so an unreachable server (phone off the tailnet, VPN down, server stopped) used to render a normal-looking empty dashboard whose only tell was the 8px header dot, which reads as "no sessions", not "no connection". Two surfaces now: a full-screen **overlay** while no server state has loaded this page load (nothing behind it is worth preserving), and a non-blocking **banner** once it has (the terminal scrollback stays readable). ⚠️ A **2.5s grace** is load-bearing: a COM deploy restarts the server and SSE is back in ~200ms, and a banner on every deploy trains the user to ignore it. `navigator.onLine === false` skips the grace, since that is never a blip. Retry re-arms SSE **and** the terminal WS (`planWsReconnect` can 'give-up', and the SSE backoff caps at 30s).
