159/S11 — global Connections entry on the home chrome (not per-session) #174
Description
Important
Problem
Connections are global configuration (credentials for Company Compute / Pasqal), but the only entry point is the session header's status popover — which appears only inside an open session and is further gated by a desktop user setting. Live testing (2026-07-20): a user on the home screen cannot reach the Connections tab at all without starting a chat first.
Approach
A Connections entry on the home chrome's top-right cluster (beside the solver selector / sessions), opening the same Connections surface the status popover hosts — one wiring, two mounts. Also un-gate the session-header trigger from the show-status setting so it renders whenever a session is open.
Scope
- In: home-chrome entry + shared wiring extraction if needed; session-header un-gating.
- Out: any change to the Connections surface itself (159/S4 — Connections tab UI: Company Compute card #166/159/S7 — Pasqal card: validator spawn, token-only persistence, device metadata #169/159/S9 — Resilience: staleness, offline, expiry, submitter-drift diff #170 own it).
Acceptance Criteria
- From a fresh app boot on the home screen — no session opened, no message sent — the user can reach the Connections surface in one click from the home chrome.
- The session-header status trigger renders whenever a session is open, independent of the show-status desktop setting (or the setting's scope is documented as covering only the health portion).
- Existing popover behavior (Vaults tab, one-round-trip connect flow) is unchanged; ui/app suites stay green.

Merged into the #159 integration branch; app 393/0 + ui 270/0 + server suites green. Home chrome gains a labeled Connections pill (Sessions-pill idiom) opening the shared Vaults+Connections surface with Connections pre-selected — one wiring, two mounts. Session trigger now renders whenever a session is open; the showStatus setting (default OFF — it was orphaning the tabs in every default install) scopes down to the health-dot only, settings copy updated.
