+- A workspace `.html`/`.htm` file gets a rendered/raw/edit toggle in the file
+  surface. The isolation policy for that frame (`sandbox=""` plus an injected
+  `default-src 'none'` CSP, and the same-workspace asset inlining) lives in
+  `lib/media/htmlPreview.ts`; the frame itself is `lib/components/media/HtmlPreview.svelte`.
+- The `open_artifact` agent tool (daemon-only, `tsugite/tools/artifacts.py`,
+  category `@artifacts`) broadcasts one `session_event` frame with
+  `event_type: "artifact_open"`. The shell records it in
+  `lib/stores/artifacts.svelte.ts`, keyed by the daemon's `artifact_id` slot, and
+  docks it with the `openBeside` layout reducer. Paths are validated daemon-side.

+One line, present tense, stating what the software does now. No "instead of", no because-clause. A
+commit with nothing to tell a user (a test fix, an internal rename) carries no trailer and prints its
+subject instead. `chore`, `docs`, `test` and `ci` commits never appear.

+The trailer has to be the last paragraph of the message. When squashing, keep one `Release-Note:`
+line at the end of the squashed message; a trailer buried mid-body is not parsed.
