 ## Design rules
 
 - Wrap the app in `machineUiHmiTheme`.
+- Give the app an Operate page at `/`, any setup pages it needs (such as Recipes), and a Logs page: a `LogsPanel` fed by the Events stream, as the example's `logs-page.tsx` does, where the operator finds out why a cycle faulted. Nav labels name the page and never echo a top-bar action, and their icons don't suggest one. Never "Run", "Start" or a play icon: beside the top bar's Start, the operator reads it as a second Start button.
+- The Operate page is what the operator watches during a run, so it reads from across the cell. Copy the example's `operate-page.tsx` and adapt it rather than starting from a blank page. Top to bottom: a heading saying what the station is doing or the recipe running, the run's progress bar, which is the example's CycleProgress copied as it is (one segment per cycle, since a single `VentionProgressBar` cannot mark the cycles a Stop cancels), the settings for the next run (disabled while one runs), and one short paragraph on what Start and Stop do. Lay it out with `Box` or `Stack` gaps, each readout a label above its value in theme text variants. Never set `fontSize` or `lineHeight`: a value sized by hand overlaps its label.
 - Show each piece of information in one place only. The `StatusTopBar` already shows the state, so a page never repeats it, not even as a status indicator or an alert titled with the same word. A page adds only what the bar cannot say: the cause of a fault, what happens next, what to do.
 - The screen fits the pendant without scrolling: keep `body { margin: 0 }` from the example's `index.html`, or the full-viewport root overflows it. Only the page area between the two bars scrolls.
 - Exactly one way back to Control Center: the `NavigationBar`'s own button, which confirms before leaving. Keep `ui.showDefaultBackToControlCenterButton` `false` in `project.json`, or the pendant lays a second one over the screen.
@@ -179,7 +181,7 @@ The HMI drives physical machinery that can injure someone.
 - Start never fires on page load, on reconnect, or from a stream message. Only an operator's tap, confirmed in a modal, starts motion.
 - Start and Stop live in the `StatusTopBar`, so they are on every page. Do not repeat them on a page. Raise the bar above `theme.zIndex.modal`, as the example's `app.tsx` does, or an open `VentionModal` covers Stop.
 - Stop stays enabled unless the station is known to be ready or already stopping. That includes while the stream is disconnected: a dropped stream may hide a moving machine. Every other command is disabled while disconnected.
-- A tap on Stop shows at once. While the station stops, the Stop button reads "Stopping…", the Run page's progress bar marks where the run now ends (the cycle in progress amber, the cancelled ones hatched and struck through), and a line by the heading says the emergency stop halts at once. Say it on the screen the operator already watches rather than in a separate alert.

 - Send Start with a `timeoutMs` and an abort signal, and abort it when the stream drops. A Start the operator can no longer see must not land later; say it was not confirmed and to check the station.
 - The HMI never offers a way around an emergency stop, safety interlock, light curtain or guard, not even a hidden one for testing.
 - The confirmation for anything that starts motion says what will move. The button itself can just say Start.

 ## Common mistakes
 
 - Polling for live state instead of a stream.
 - A raw `fetch` to `/rpc`, or any request that skips the generated client.
 - Editing or committing `src/gen/`, or forgetting to re-emit `proto/app.proto` after a Python change.

+- Dropping `chmod -R g+w` from the build scripts, or letting it fail the build. The engine deletes the application as another user, and it cannot remove files the build left group-read-only. That user also owns what the last build left in `ui/`, so the example keeps going with `|| true` where `chmod` cannot change them.
 - A stream named after its payload model: `rpc Status` returning `Status` fails in buf. Name the payload `StationStatus`.
 - A storage field with no zero default, or a storage write with no `actor`.
 - A process name in `client.ts` that differs from `project.json`.
