 - **Headless first.** Pure reducer + hooks; UI is optional and replaceable.
 - **Launcher primitives.** `ChatLauncher` / `ChatFAB` (3 variants, responsive sizing) / `ChatDock` (popover + side modes, mobile fullscreen) / `ChatGreeting` (proactive invite) / `ChatUnreadPreview` (live-push notification).
-- **Header actions.** `ChatHeader` + `ChatHeaderActionButton` + ready-made `ChatHeaderModeToggle` / `ChatHeaderAudioToggle` / `ChatHeaderResetButton` (with `window.dialog.confirm`) / `ChatHeaderLanguageButton` (flag picker for speech-recognition language).
+- **Header actions.** Declarative `headerSlots` prop on `<ChatLauncher>` — `audio` / `modeToggle` / `languagePicker` / `reset` / `custom`. Renders inside the provider, every slot has `useChatContext()` access. Raw `ChatHeader` / `ChatHeaderActionButton` / `ChatHeaderModeToggle` / `ChatHeaderAudioToggle` / `ChatHeaderResetButton` / `ChatHeaderLanguageButton` still exported for advanced custom shells.
 - **Decomposed.** `MessageList`, `MessageBubble`, `Composer`, `Sources`, `ToolCalls`, `Attachments`, `EmptyState`, `ErrorBanner`, `JumpToLatest`, `StreamingIndicator` — every part exported.
 - **Markdown-native.** Sits on top of `MarkdownMessage` (GFM, code, mermaid, sanitized HTML).
 - **Streaming.** SSE-based `AsyncGenerator` transport. Spec-compliant `parseSSE`, token coalescing, cancel, regenerate.
 - **Pydantic-AI mapper.** Built-in adapter for Django/pydantic-AI backends — `text_delta` / `tool_call` / `tool_result` → canonical `ChatStreamEvent`. FIFO tool-id queue.
 - **Tool calls.** Live streaming panels, auto-open while running, auto-close on completion. Per-call `memo` so streaming one tool doesn't re-render siblings.
 - **Live push.** `chat.injectMessage(msg)` / `updateMessage(id, patch)` for admin takeover / Centrifugo / WebSocket inbound. `useChatUnread()` tracks unseen; `<ChatUnreadPreview>` surfaces them next to the FAB.
+- **Facebook-style unread notifier.** `useChatUnreadNotifier()` prefixes `document.title` with `(N)` and paints a small red dot over the favicon while the tab is in background. Sober by default — the favicon is the attention signal, the title stays readable. Title rotation is available as opt-in (`title: { mode: 'rotate' }`) for hosts without a favicon. Cross-tab coordinated via `useActiveTab` from `@djangocfg/ui-core`: only the elected leader tab mutates title/favicon, the count is broadcast so every tab's FAB badge stays in sync. Pluggable `ChatNotifier` interface lets Wails / Electron hosts route to a native dock badge instead.
 - **Personas.** `config.user` + `config.assistant` for default identity; `message.sender` for per-message overrides.
-- **Audio.** `useChatAudio` over `@djangocfg/ui-core/hooks/useNotificationSounds` — Safari unlock, persisted mute, per-event toggles, reduced-motion respect. Slack/Linear-style per-event volume scale (error ≈ 0.25, mention ≈ 1.0). **Built-in sounds bundled as base64 data URLs** in the lazy chat chunk (~136KB) — `useChatAudio()` with no arguments just works. `silenced` + `onSoundEvent` for native hosts (cmdop_go / Tauri).

 - **Tool-payload dispatcher.** `dispatchToolPayload(matchers, fallback)` — pluggable predicates render `<LazyJsonTree>` / `<LazyMap>` / etc.
-- **Persisted dock prefs.** `useChatDockPrefs()` stores `mode` / `side` / `width` in localStorage; `<ChatHeaderModeToggle>` lets users flip popover ↔ side and survives reloads.
+- **Persisted dock prefs.** `headerSlots.modeToggle.persistAs: 'my.key'` stores `mode` / `side` / `width` in localStorage; the toggle lets users flip popover ↔ side and survives reloads. (`useChatDockPrefs()` is now owned by the launcher internally — no longer a consumer-facing hook.)
 - **UX guards.** Auto-focus composer on dock open, two-step Escape (textarea blur → close), click-to-focus on empty message area (Slack / Linear style), `useHotkey('mod+/')` toggle.
 - **ChatGPT-style autoscroll.** `MessageList` follows the bottom while the user is within `atBottomThreshold` px (default 120). Every user-sent message bumps `scrollAnchorId` and re-anchors the viewport with `behavior: 'smooth'` — sending no longer leaves your own bubble stuck above the fold. Scrolling up by hand breaks the lock; `<JumpToLatest>` brings it back.
 - **Voice composer slot.** `<VoiceComposerSlot />` drops into `composerToolbarEnd` with **zero props** — reads/writes the composer through the `ComposerHandle` registered in chat context. The built-in `<Composer>` and TipTap-backed `MarkdownEditor` register themselves automatically; custom composers wire it via `useRegisterComposer({ focus, moveCursorToEnd, getValue, setValue })`. Auto-gates on Firefox / in-app WebViews / missing `getUserMedia`, preserves typed prefix, 90-second countdown, silence auto-stop, Esc / Enter hotkeys, start / stop earcons. See [`SpeechRecognition`](../SpeechRecognition/README.md).
-- **Language flag button.** `<ChatHeaderLanguageButton />` slots into the dock header — 28×28 country flag opens a searchable `<Combobox>` with 66 BCP-47 tags from the Chrome Web Speech catalogue. Selection persists via `useSpeechPrefs`, picked up by every `useSpeechRecognition` downstream.

 - **Auto-focus on stream end.** `useAutoFocusOnStreamEnd()` (active inside `ChatRoot` by default) re-focuses the composer on the streaming → idle edge — type → send → read → keep typing without reaching for the mouse.
 - **Centralized colors.** Role-aware className tokens (`BUBBLE_SURFACE` / `ANCHOR` / `TOGGLE` / `DESTRUCTIVE_SURFACE`) + hooks (`useChatBubbleStyles`, `useChatRoleStyles`, `useChatDestructiveStyles`).

+| Forgetting `<DialogProvider>` for `headerSlots.reset` (or raw `<ChatHeaderResetButton>`) | Falls back to native browser confirm (ugly) |
+| Passing `dock.headerActions` (removed in the new launcher) | Use `headerSlots` instead — it renders inside the provider so reset can read `sessionId` / `clearMessages` |
+| Calling `useChatAudio()` in consumer code | Pass `audio={{}}` (or `{ sounds: {…} }`) to `<ChatLauncher>` — the launcher owns the hook now |
 | Mixing **root barrel** and **subpath** imports | Loads the package twice → two React contexts → `useChatContextOptional()` returns `null` → VoiceComposerSlot silently drops transcripts. See **Import discipline** below. |
