Two causes made a shared shell's PTY stream lag for non-host viewers and
then arrive "all at once":
1. Nagle's algorithm — PTY echo/keystrokes/chat are tiny frames; Nagle +
delayed-ACK (amplified by Tailscale RTT) coalesced them into bursts.
Set TCP_NODELAY on the client websocket (Plain/--no-tls path) and on
each server connection's socket (via ws.io_proto.transport).
2. Head-of-line blocking — ConnectionManager.broadcast awaited each
send() serially under a global lock, so the slowest viewer gated
delivery to everyone AND stalled the server's read of the broker's
next frame, backing the stream up. Give each connection its own
bounded outbound queue + writer task; broadcast now only enqueues and
never waits on a socket. A peer that overflows its backlog (4096) is
evicted (close 1013) and resyncs on reconnect rather than buffering
without bound or being fed a gapped terminal stream. Init snapshot is
enqueued as the guaranteed-first frame (send_state -> state_frame).
Adds tests/test_manager.py (FIFO, slow-client isolation, wedged
eviction, reconnect replacement). Also fmt-clean sbx.rs/theme.rs.

Derive each rolled palette's surface from its ink via legible_bg so the
background is as expressive as it can be while keeping chat text above a
contrast floor. Adds the oc-demo theme and reaction images.

- introduce a Role model + App::host()/roles_of(): the host is the first
occupant of the roster (shown the moment they join, no sandbox required),
and roles are additive — a host who summoned a sandbox and can drive reads
✝⚡◆. Badges read the same ACL the broker enforces, so they can never
advertise a power the room won't honour
- render the stacked badge in the clergy panel and inline next to the author
on every chat message; split VirtualBox commands into their own help cluster
- default styling: the startup handle prompt now prints ✝ (crypt sigil)
instead of the inverted pentagram
- README: document VirtualBox VMs, snapshot save/load, AI streaming + recall,
the badge system, and the expanded theme set
- gitignore out-of-tree experiments, the heavy demo-build kit, and logs

Theme::random() conjures a fresh procedural vestment — a coherent HSV
palette (dark tinted surface, one bright accent, legible ink), a random
sigil, and a generated arcane name. Bound to Ctrl+Alt+P and `/theme random`.
Theme::save() persists the vestment you're wearing to themes/<slug>.toml
(via `/theme save [name]`), so a roll you like can be re-donned later with
`/theme <name>`. Theme now derives Serialize and slugify() sanitizes the
filename. Help text and the /theme usage line advertise both verbs.

Replace the stale Django CI template with a CI workflow that builds and
tests both codebases: cargo fmt/clippy/build/test for the hh client and
pytest across Python 3.10-3.12 for the server. Apply cargo fmt and fix
all clippy lints so the gates pass.

- Graceful shutdown: Ctrl+C quits in chat (interrupts PTY while driving),
RAII TermGuard + panic hook + SIGTERM/SIGHUP always restore the terminal
- Default theme is now "crypt" (neutral monochrome); theme sigil mirrored in
chat/roster/help so the pentagram only renders under the "church" theme
- Neutralize inverted-pentagram branding across CLI, scripts, docs, and Cargo
metadata (kept only in themes/church.toml + the render-time placeholder)
- Rewrite root README around hack-house; add bootstrap.sh, SECURITY.md,
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CHANGELOG.md, and issue/PR templates
- .gitignore cleanup; stop tracking .venv

- add /pw (alias /password): reveal this room's password locally (never
broadcast); surfaced in the F1 help overlay and the join hint
- direnv-autostart/: cd-to-launch a single real-user session via direnv;
password is minted in memory at launch (never written to disk, matching the
RAM-only model) and scoped to the child process. setup.sh installs direnv,
hooks bash/zsh, and `direnv allow`s the dir
- lets-hack.sh: boot a FRESH server by default (replacing any live one) with a
--reuse opt-out; add -h/--help/-help; guard against killing the tmux session
you're attached to; switch-client into the coven when run inside tmux
- rename coven→clergy across rust/python/scripts; tests/test_coven.py→test_clergy.py
- snapshots in-progress hack-house client work (sandbox, themes, net, ui)

Default vestments (was monochrome 'crypt') now match the Church of Malware
aesthetic: neon on black — cyan window-chrome borders, acid-green text/prompts
and your own messages, soft-cyan for others, purple system/occult lines,
hot-magenta self/owner. themes/church.toml ships the same palette; crypt.toml
(monochrome) and neon.toml remain as alternates via --theme.
Confirmed ratatui's serde accepts #rrggbb (hex --theme files load). 9 tests pass.

- Connect subcommand: SRP auth then a ratatui UI over tokio + crossterm.
- Async ws (tokio-tungstenite); reader task decrypts/parses frames into events.
- Panes: top bar (e2e + house N/cap), chat scrollback, roster (self marked ⛧),
input box. Undecryptable frames surface as a system line, not a silent drop.
- Themes (vestments) via TOML --theme; default occult-monochrome + neon.
- Verified live in tmux: render, chat round-trip, roster, join/leave.
- Adds fernet python->rust interop regression test.
