+| `dismiss` | Close the presented sheet or full-screen cover (on web, an open alert too). Nothing happens when no modal is up. |

+A web preview that nobody has signed into calls Wix as an **anonymous visitor**, and that
+visitor owns what it writes: a cart, a booking, an order. The browser holds the identity
+itself. It gets its own visitor straight from Wix, so there is **one anonymous Wix visitor per
+browser, per origin, per app `clientId`**. The visitor's refresh token is kept in
+`localStorage` under `himalaya.wixVisitor.<clientId>`; the short-lived access token stays in
+memory and is renewed from it.
+
+The visitor **survives** page reloads, draft pushes and new releases, a renewed preview link
+(`pvt`), and other tabs of the same browser, which share it.
+
+You get a **new** visitor, who cannot see the old one's records, when:
+
+- the site data is cleared, or the preview is opened in a private window or another browser;
+- the same app is opened from a different origin — the `www.wixapis.com` preview link and a
+  mount on another Wix host each keep their own store;
+- renewing the stored visitor fails, so the browser starts a fresh one;
+- the app's `clientId` changes.
+
+One path is **not** stable at all. When the browser cannot reach Wix itself — its visitor mint
+or a request fails, after which the rest of that page load stays on the fallback — or a call
+carries its own headers or an absolute URL, the call goes through the preview server instead.
+That server uses one anonymous visitor per server instance, **shared** by everyone it serves and
+replaced when its token expires. A signed-in member is a separate identity (the member session)
+and is not affected by any of this.
+
+So when a visitor's own record vanishes from a preview, first check whether the browser, the
+origin or the site data changed. A record that has to outlive those belongs to a signed-in
+member, or should be read back by an id the app kept.

+#### Navigate from the worker: `navigate()` and `_nav`
+
+A worker action moves the user by returning its next state with a transient `_nav` field.
+`navigate` from `@himalaya/state` writes it for you:
+
+```ts
+import { defineService, navigate } from "@himalaya/state";
+
+// in an action — after the save lands, open the record it created:
+save: async (s) => {
+  const id = await saveDraft(s.draft);   // your module-level helper; returns the new id
+  return navigate({ ...s, saving: false }, { screenId: "event", args: { id } });
+},
+```
+
+The runtime strips `_nav` before the state is stored, and the host opens `screenId` exactly as
+a tapped `himi.open` would — including the `args` arriving as `himalaya.input` on the target.
+The rules:
+
+- `screenId` must be a **linkable** screen (`navigation.linkableScreens`), or the host
+  ignores the directive.
+- `args` values are **strings only**; anything else is dropped rather than coerced.
+- It always **pushes**. There is no `_nav` form of `back`, `dismiss`, `sheet` or `replace`.
+
+`_nav` is the worker-side navigation all three hosts route. A worker's
+`dispatch("himi.open", …)` is routed by the web host's nav bridge only; on iOS and Android a
+worker `dispatch` reaches the native action registry, which has no `himi.open` handler.
+
+#### Back, dismiss, and tabs
+
+Everything that is not a push is a **descriptor** action with a `presentation` verb — a Close
+or Done button is `{ "actionId": "himi.open", "presentation": "dismiss" }` (or `"back"`). The
+component reference tabulates every verb (`himi components --json`, or the Actions section of
+`himi docs component-reference`): `back` pops the current screen, `dismiss` closes a presented
+sheet or cover.
+
+**No action switches tabs.** A `himi.open` — tapped or from `_nav` — whose target is another
+tab's root screen pushes that screen onto the *current* tab's stack; it does not select the
+other tab. Only the tab bar and other app chrome select a tab, so design a cross-tab jump as a
+push of the detail you want, not as a hop to the other tab's root.

+
+When few of the template's screens match the app — say a class schedule with a day strip,
+spots left and a waitlist, none of which the template draws — hand-editing the descriptor file
+is not the fast path. What a template gives you that is hard to write and easy to reuse is the
+**worker layer**. Keep that, and author the screens yourself:
+
+1. **Keep the helpers.** `tier5-src/_shared/` holds the tested Wix plumbing: price and
+   currency formatting (`wix-service-price.ts`, `engine-intl.ts`), text helpers
+   (`himi-text.ts`), and the per-vertical shaping (`himi-bookings.ts`, `himi-store.ts`,
+   `himi-events.ts`, …). Import them from your own workers.
+2. **Keep the write chains you need.** A transaction that spans several Wix calls is the
+   expensive part to rediscover — the booking worker's `createBooking → createCheckout →
+   createOrder` chain in `tier5-src/himi-booking-time/`, or the cart's checkout in
+   `tier5-src/himi-branded-lite-cart/`. Keep that worker and bind your screen to it, or move
+   the chain into your own worker.
+3. **Delete the template screens.** Remove the worker dirs you are not keeping, and replace the
+   `SCREENS` map in `dev/index.ts` with your own screens (and `linkableScreens` /
+   `tabBar.items` to match).
+4. **Write each screen as small local functions** in `dev/index.ts` that return raw descriptor
+   objects. They are plain TypeScript functions in your own file, not a package (there is no
+   builder-DSL package — `himi docs designing-himi-screens`), so they compile to the same raw
+   descriptors `himi init` writes:
+
+   ```ts
+   // dev/index.ts
+   const node = (id: string, type: string, props: Record<string, unknown>) =>
+     ({ id, body: { package: "himalaya", type, props } });
