Topbar

The topbar runs across the top of the workbench above the sidebar, request pane, and response pane. It hosts the brand, the command palette / global search, and the right-side cluster of session controls.

Left — brand

Small logo (matches the favicon) plus the Bowire wordmark.
In embedded mode, the wordmark is replaced by options.Title from the host configuration.
In locked mode (--lock-server-url), a subtitle line shows which URL the workbench is pinned to.

Center — command palette

Type-ahead search box that filters the sidebar's service tree and opens a suggestions dropdown for quick navigation.
Live-matches methods, services, recent calls, hints (with the hint prefix), and AI queries (with the @ai prefix).
Apply a substring as a name filter chip; press Enter to navigate to the first match.
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl/Cmd+K focuses the palette from anywhere.

Right — session controls

The right cluster is the at-a-glance status row plus the per-session toggles.

Control	Purpose
Connection pill	Aggregate state of every configured discovery URL — green when all are connected, amber when partial / connecting, red when any failed. Hover for a per-URL breakdown with service counts + retry. (#93)
Environment selector	Switch active environment; click to manage variables.
Schema watch	Toggle the background re-discovery loop that polls the configured URLs every 15 s. Useful when developing against a service whose proto / OpenAPI / schema is changing under you.
Theme toggle	Cycle auto → dark → light → auto. Keyboard shortcut: `t`.
AI drawer	Open / close the right-side AI assistant. Badge shows live hint-engine count. Keyboard shortcut: `Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+A`.
About	Standalone dialog with version, open-source notices, and Küstenlogik credit.
Settings	Settings dialog (General / Shortcuts / Data / AI / Plugins).

Connection pill — at-a-glance health

The pill collapses every configured discovery URL into a single dot + summary:

Aggregate state	Dot color	Summary text
Every URL connected, single URL	green	the URL (truncated)
Every URL connected, multi-URL	green	"All N connected"
At least one connecting	amber, pulsing	"X / N connecting…"
Mixed — some connected, others idle	amber	"X / N connected"
At least one failed	red	"X / N failed"
No URLs configured	grey	"Pick a URL"

Hover the pill to open a popover that lists every URL with:

Status dot + status word.
The URL, middle-truncated for readability; the full URL is in the row's title attribute.
Service + method counts (only when connected, so the operator sees the real surface they get from this URL).
The discovery error message, when failed.

Embedded mode hides the pill — the host owns the URL and there's no operator-facing knob to turn.

Behavior in different modes

Standalone (bowire CLI without --url) — full topbar including the command palette, brand, and all right-side controls.
Standalone locked (bowire --url …) — same layout, but the connection pill shows the locked URL and the editing affordance in the popover is hidden.
Embedded (app.MapBowire(...) inside the host) — connection pill hidden (host-managed); other controls unchanged.
