+# Hall navigation — the Back link and the standard full-screen switch (task 1004430)
+
+Covers: every shelled hall page (`shell.js`, `style.css`), plus `goal-map.html` joining the chrome.
+
+## The Back link
+
+- `shell.js` renders `#topbar-back` ("← <label>") at the head of the top bar when the page was reached from INSIDE another hall page. The origin is `?from=` first, then a same-origin `document.referrer`; the label is that page's `NAV` label (or "task N" / "idea N" / "goal N" for a record).
+- **A sidebar hop is not a drill-down.** A sidebar link click writes a one-shot `sessionStorage['hall-nav-hop']` naming its target; the page it lands on reads and deletes it, and shows no Back link. Without this every page reached from the sidebar would carry a Back link, which is just history.
+- When the origin came from the referrer, the click runs `history.back()`, so a list comes back with its scroll and filters; the `href` is still the real address for a new tab.
+- A page drawing its own record back link (`.rec-back` — `task.html`, `idea.html`) keeps it; the bar adds no second one. The origin's own `?from=` is dropped so back links never chain.
+- `/profile?id=N` highlights **Builders**, not your own Profile, unless `/me` says the id is yours.
+
+## Full screen is standard
+
+- Every shelled page gets the switch. `<body data-fullscreen-switch="off">` opts out. The bare attribute means "this page lays itself out for full screen" (sky, studio, tweak editor); a page without it is **plain**, and the shell sets `html[data-fullscreen-plain="on"]` so `style.css` pads `.app-content` clear of the corner button.
+- In full screen the button is a labelled pill, an icon plus "Exit full screen", in `--bg-card` with a ring and a drop shadow, not the hall's near-clear glass. Under 640px it drops the words, and the tweak editor keeps the 36px round button because its bar is laid out for one. A page whose own back link is not `.rec-back` marks it `data-own-back`. On the black sky in the light theme the glass button was a dark icon on black, and because the choice is remembered per page, `/thinking` looked stuck with no bars. Entering full screen (or a page opening in it) also shows a 4.5s `#fullscreen-hint` saying how to leave.
+
+## The project sky joined the hall
+
+`goal-map.html` now uses thinking.html's structure: sidebar and top-bar mounts, `style.css`, `shell.js`, the sky inside `<main id="hall-main" class="sky-stage">`, and a `<div class="brand">` because the shell's bar is the page's one `<header>`. In `thinking.css` both pages share one stage rule, `body[data-page] .sky-stage`. No hall page is standalone any more (`tests/hall_audit.mjs` `STANDALONE_EXEMPT` is empty).

 - **The sky's palette lives on the stage, not the body, on `/thinking`** — so the chrome around it keeps the hall's own light and dark. `style.css` now loads under `thinking.css`, and the handful of hall rules whose names the template also uses (`.skip`, `.filters`, `.foot`, `:focus-visible`, text inputs, `* { box-sizing }`) are reset under `:where(.sky-stage)` at the same specificity, before the sky's own rules. The sky's global rules are `:where()`-scoped for the same reason, which leaves `/goal-map` byte-for-byte in its old cascade.
 - **Both pages render in both modes now.** The chrome follows the hall theme; the sky's stage is the void in both. The `full` and `full-back` states in both states files (and `full-list` in the sky's) press the switch.
