+# Diagnostic Access Improvements
+
+## Goal
+
+Make it practical for an agent on a separate SSH machine to diagnose browser and
+production failures without granting broad production control or asking the user
+to paste console output.
+
+## Browser Captures
+
+Diagnostic mode (`?diag=1`) offers **Capture diagnostic**. Upload and metadata
+remain authenticated. The PNG URL at `/api/debug/captures/{id}` is public by its
+72-bit id, which is the explicit handoff capability a user shares with an agent.
+
+After inspecting a user-shared capture, the agent must immediately call:
+
+```
+DELETE /api/debug/captures/{id}
+```
+
+The 24-hour expiry and 50-capture cap remain a backstop. Do not inspect capture
+URLs that the user has not explicitly supplied.
+
+## Production Diagnostics
+
+Do not grant an agent a general production shell or Docker-group membership.
+Docker access is effectively root access, and arbitrary shell access can expose
+environment variables, OAuth tokens, and mounted volumes.
+
+Instead create a dedicated `chart-debug` production account with a forced-command
+SSH wrapper. It accepts only a small, read-oriented command set:
+
+```
+logs --since <duration>
+status
+container-state
+recent-deploy
+capture-read <capture-id>
+capture-delete <capture-id>
+```
+
+The wrapper must reject arbitrary commands and paths. It should cap output,
+redact known secret patterns, and log every request. Use a dedicated SSH key that
+can be revoked without affecting deployment or normal administration.
+
+Expected agent usage:
+
+```
+ssh chart-debug@production logs --since 20m
+```
+
+## Observability
+
+Keep browser performance telemetry separate from production access. A future
+frontend recorder should locally aggregate frame timing, long tasks, tick rate,
+visible bars, and rendered line/level counts, then periodically upload compact,
+authenticated summaries. Pair it with server timing for bar handling, level
+rebuilds, WebSocket serialization, and the existing loop-lag measure.
+
+This separates rendering, feed, transport, and backend pressure without logging
+prices, drawing text, cursor positions, screenshots, or per-tick event history.

+# Light and dark themes
+
+**Status: tracked, not started.** A direction to refactor toward, not a project
+with a date. Recorded 2026-08-14 from a contrast pass over the colours that
+are actually in the tree.
+
+The page is a warm paper theme. A dark theme that just inverts it will look
+broken. Chrome is cheap. The chart colours were picked for cream, and many
+of them are stored as hex on drawings, so a CSS flip does not restyle lines
+already placed.
+
+## What is already factored
+
+`:root` in `static/style.css` owns the chrome:
+
+```css
+:root {
+  color-scheme: light;
+  --bg: #e8dfcf;
+  --panel: #f7f1e6;
+  --chart-bg: #fbf7ef;
+  --fg: #2c2924;
+  --muted: #746c60;
+  --line: #d2c5b2;
+  --accent: #b7771d;
+  --green: #27825c;
+  --red: #bd4545;
+}
+```
+
+Lightweight Charts already reads `--chart-bg` and `--muted` at `create()`.
+Sidebar, comments, tooltips and most chrome follow the tokens. Flipping
+those variables restyles the frame. It does not restyle the series.
+
+## What is hardcoded for cream paper
+
+**Candles** — `#20b8a6` / `#ef5b3f` with borders and wicks `#087f76` /
+`#b9342d`. Mid-luminance, already the usual trading pair. Fine on dark.
+
+**Timeframe and kind colours** (`ConfluenceChart.tfColors`,
+`kindColors`, and the layer swatches):
+
+| Role | Hex | On dark |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1m | `#82909f` | usable |
+| 5m / manual | `#65b7cf` | fine |
+| 1h | `#efb643` | fine |
+| 1d MA | `#d96073` | fine |
+| VWAP | `#b07ad6` | fine |
+| prior-day H/L/C | `#9fb0c4` | fine |
+
+**Grid** — `rgba(128,128,128,.10)`. Invisible on a dark plot. Needs a
+higher alpha, or a token.
+
+**Accent** — `#b7771d` is a mid amber. On cream it reads as gold. On dark
+it goes muddy/brown. Dark chrome wants a brighter accent, not the same hex.
+
+**Price tag** — `#e0a34a` on `#1a1206`. Fine on both.
+
+**Snap support/resistance** — `#27825c` / `#bd4545`. Fine.
+
+**Current-price pulse** — `color-mix(..., var(--accent), white)`. On dark,
+mix toward the chart background or a lighter accent, not white.
+
+**Shadows** — `rgba(0,0,0,.16)`. Vanish on dark. Drop them or invert.
+
+**`button.active`** — `color: var(--bg)` on `background: var(--accent)`.
+Survives a token flip (dark text on gold instead of cream text on gold).
+
+## The drawing palette is the real problem
+
+Four stops per family, named `green1`–`green4` and so on, persisted as hex
+on each drawing:
+
+| | 1 (pastel) | 2 | 3 | 4 (dark) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| green | `#A6D8AA` | `#4DB155` | `#258F33` | `#006D09` |
+| red | `#FAADBC` | `#F45B78` | `#D13F62` | `#AF2850` |
+| blue | `#A3CCFF` | `#4699FE` | `#1E76D8` | `#0054B3` |
+| orange | `#F8C592` | `#F08A24` | `#D66B12` | `#B94E08` |
+| teal | `#80D8D8` | `#00B0B1` | `#008E8F` | `#006C6E` |
+| purple | `#DDBCEB` | `#BB79D7` | `#9858B3` | `#763790` |
+
+Stop 1 pops on dark and fades into cream. Stop 4 reads on cream and
+disappears on dark. A theme switch does not rewrite stored `#006D09`
+lines. Invert-and-ship leaves those lines looking like they vanished.
+
+## Colours that work on both
+
+Stay in the middle of each row. Mid-luminance, reasonably saturated hues
+contrast with both `#fbf7ef` and a warm dark plot (roughly OKLCH lightness
+0.55–0.70). That is why the candles already work, and why stops 2–3 work:
+
+`#4DB155` `#F45B78` `#4699FE` `#F08A24` `#00B0B1` `#BB79D7`
+
+You cannot keep a four-stop range that is readable on both backgrounds.
+Two ways out, pick one when this is built:
+
+1. **Store the name, resolve the hex.** The labels already exist
+   (`green2`). Light and dark each map the name to a hex. Identity
+   survives; appearance follows the theme. New drawings and a one-shot
+   migration of known palette hexes onto names. Custom hexes stay hexes.
+2. **A 1px opposite-luma hairline** on every series. The fill can then be
+   anything, including saved `#006D09`. Escape hatch for lines that never
+   get a name.
+
+Do not invent a third palette that claims all eight extremes work on both.
+They do not.
+
+## What a dark theme is, and is not
+
+It is a contrast pass: chrome tokens, grid alpha, accent, pulse mix,
+shadows, and a decision about named vs hex drawings. It is not a
+restyle of the product and not a reason to rebuild the chart.
+
+Do not invert the cream hexes and ship. Do not delete stop 1 and stop 4
+from the picker without deciding how existing drawings render. Do not
+treat `prefers-color-scheme` as enough on its own — this is a trading
+desk, not a marketing page; the choice has to be sticky and explicit,
+with the system preference as a default only.
+
+## When this is built
+
+Change `docs/plan.md` in the same commit if any colour table or “paper
+theme” description becomes false. This file then records the reasoning,
+not the live tokens.
