Phase 25 — Masthead control placement: badges everywhere, right-justified, clock rightmost

Source: TODO.md L3–L5 — "hosts disks engines UPS disappear when in the certs/account page" · "I made a mistake earlier, I did want hosts disks engines UPS badges and certs/account/dark right justified don the navbar" · "The time should show up as the farthest right item on the navbar" Story: n/a Context: phase 20 (complete) — the masthead is three rows at every width (row 1 brand + #nav-toggle + the five tabs, row 2 the #nav-status per-source dots, row 3 the .masthead-right controls), not sticky (position: relative, z-index: 40), with the ≤640px dropdown sliding on nav.tabs.is-open; phase 18 — the hamburger reveal through --nav-toggle-display. The dots are built by Dash.initChrome() in src/dashboards/web/static/app.js (the if (nav) block on #nav-status, one chip per system/disks/llm/ups dashboard from /api/health, refreshed every 15 s), and exist in the markup only of the five dashboard pages — certs.html and settings.html ship no #nav-status (the comment in settings.html says a session page "has no fleet reachability to report"), which is what L3 names. The served-CSS pins for the bar are in tests/test_api.py: test_the_masthead_is_three_left_justified_rows_at_every_width (the two justify-content: flex-start declarations, the two flex-basis: 100% row breaks, the min-height/gap), test_the_mobile_masthead_block_declares_no_second_bar_height, test_the_masthead_scrolls_away_and_stays_the_dropdown_anchor; the one-loop control-order audit is test_every_page_links_to_both_admin_pages (clock → ⚷ Certs → ⚙ Account → theme toggle on all eight signed-in pages), and the two pins that assert the admin pages have no dots are in test_the_settings_page_is_not_one_of_the_dashboards and test_the_certs_page_is_a_page_and_not_a_sixth_dashboard. tests/test_auth_api.py asserts /login carries no #nav-status — unchanged by this phase.

Objective

The four per-source badges (hosts · disks · engines · UPS) render on every page that renders the masthead — including /certs and /settings — and the two right-hand rows (the dots, the controls) are right-justified, with the clock the farthest-right item on the bar. The three-row shape at every width is preserved; only the alignment and the control order move, and the clock's position is what L5 asks for.

Dependencies

• — (none) — the phase builds on complete phase 20 and phase 18; it is scheduled first of the three appended phases on purpose, because the mobile audit phase (27) measures the masthead in the shape this phase leaves it in.

Tasks

1. 01_status_dots_on_admin_pages.md — #nav-status on /certs and /settings (markup only — initChrome already builds the dots when the container exists); the two no-dots pins flip to dots-present
2. 02_right_justify_masthead_rows.md — justify-content: flex-end on #nav-status and .masthead-right, the comment block re-worded, the three-rows pin re-pinned to the new alignment
3. 03_clock_rightmost.md — the clock moves to the end of the control row on all eight signed-in pages; the one-loop order pin updated; the phase's real-browser verification (badges on the admin pages, both rows right-justified, clock rightmost, at 1280 px and 360 px)

Testing & Quality

• Unit/integration: the served-byte pins in tests/test_api.py — the flipped admin-page pins (task 01), the re-pinned row-alignment pin (task 02), the updated control-order pin (task 03); tests/test_auth_api.py's /login-has-no-dots pin must stay green untouched
• Coverage: >90% on new/modified code (the new code is the pins themselves; the change is CSS and template markup)
• Real-browser check (invariant 10): a data/logs/25-task03-*.cjs script in the 20-task01-rows.cjs convention, run against the restarted dev server at 1280 px and 360 px on all seven tabbed pages plus /login (unsigned), with screenshots in data/logs/

Documentation & Consistency

• The final pass updates the now-stale sentences in AGENTS.md: "The masthead is three left-justified rows at every width" (alignment), "A page with no dots (/certs, /settings) renders two rows" (gone — all masthead pages carry the dots), "the two links therefore sit on all eight signed-in pages in one order (clock → ⚷ Certs → ⚙ Account → theme toggle)" (new order: ⚷ Certs → ⚙ Account → theme toggle → clock), and the "left-justified" wording in the dash.css header comment. README.md is checked for the same sentences; none is expected.

Completion Criteria

• /certs and /settings render the four badges, populated from /api/health (pinned + verified in a browser against the live dev fleet)
• the dots row and the controls row are right-justified at every width; the three-row shape and the ≤640px dropdown are unchanged (pinned + measured in a browser)
• the clock is the farthest-right item on the bar on all eight signed-in pages (pinned + measured)
• uv run pytest green, coverage not down, ruff + pyright clean
• bash .agents/validate.sh green
• no behavior change in completed work: the row-break mechanism (flex-wrap + the two flex-basis: 100%), the non-sticky bar, the dropdown's slide and its four close paths, and the dots' refresh semantics are all untouched
