Tag values were inserted into innerHTML unsanitized — a tag containing
HTML would execute as markup. Switch to DOM-only construction for the
tag badges. Also bump api.js cache-buster to v=6.
Confirmed shape brief: ops-console direction, balanced density, blue committed accent, readability emphasized.
Design system: surface scale to 5 steps tinted toward hue 266; text contrast lifted (secondary 62->72%, tertiary 44->52, added text-disabled); borders gained faint variant; status tokens renamed semantically (signal-good/warn/bad/idle); typography upgraded (Inter 400/500/600, JetBrains Mono for numerics, new 2xl/3xl/tc scale steps).
New components: tc-display timecode classes with blue glow; tally-word with good/warn/bad/rec variants; signal-strip flutter bar with modifiers; chip dense monospaced pill; manifest table styles.
Topbar status strip: new js/topbar-strip.js auto-injects a 28px strip on every page with wall clock, page name, live API latency, and system-pulse dot.
Per-page: recorders gain live signal-strip above fps line; capture timecode bumped 38->64px with blue glow; ingest drop zone slimmed 200->88px side-by-side layout so manifest gets the real estate.
Trash icon in the library was firing PATCH /assets/:id with {status:"deleted"}. The PATCH route only accepts display_name/tags/notes so it returned "No fields to update" and the asset stayed put.
* api.js: add deleteAsset(id, {hard}) helper hitting the real DELETE route.
* index.html: deleteAssetPrompt now calls deleteAsset (soft archive). Confirm dialog reworded to match.
* mam-api/routes/assets.js: list endpoint hides status=archived by default. Pass ?include_archived=true to see them in a future restore-from-trash view. Filtering by ?status=archived still works for power users.
* All HTML: bump api.js cache-buster v=4 -> v=5 so the new helper is fetched.
The api.js library-list fix from the previous commit never reached the browser because nginx served all .js with `Cache-Control: public, immutable; max-age=31536000`. The HTML referenced api.js with no version query, so the browser kept its year-cached buggy copy.
* nginx.conf: drop .js from the immutable long-cache block, add a no-cache must-revalidate block so future redeploys are picked up immediately.
* All HTML files: tag api.js refs with ?v=4 so already-running browsers fetch the new version on next page load.
