 - **Dependency survey (hand-roll vs adopt).** Node's stdlib *is* the maintained cross-platform OS layer (`readdir(withFileTypes)`, `homedir`, path semantics); surveyed alternatives fail the dependency bar — file-manager packages (`node-file-manager`, `files-and-folders`, Syncfusion's provider) are whole HTTP apps (fit), drive-letter helpers (`drivelist` native addon, `windows-drive-letters` ~7y stale) fail health/proportionality. The browse backend is a thin adapter over stdlib.
 - **Hidden entries: return-and-flag.** The host stamps `hidden` (POSIX dot convention) and returns everything; the client filters. Display policy stays client-side, and the show-hidden toggle shipped as exactly that client-only change: a fixed-label footer toggle whose state lives in the pressed presentation (`aria-pressed` + check glyph), a dot-led path-draft prefix reveals the hidden entries it names, and the current selection is exempt from both the hidden and the prefix filter (it anchors the two-pane view). Windows' `FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN` is not exposed by dirents — documented limitation until a native probe pays for itself.
 - **Path-editor cancel scope: the dialog card.** The browse client's path editor cancels on Escape and on focus leaving the card, both observed at a card-scope wrapper rather than the input — after Tab parks focus on a filtered row the input is off the event path, yet Escape must collapse the editor (not the dialog) and a later focus departure must still cancel. Non-cancel exemptions: window/tab focus loss, in-card focus moves, and pointer paths (rows and the toggle suppress focus steal on mousedown while editing). Separators for seeding and draft-tail filtering are inferred from `listing.home`; the wire-field alternative below records the deferred authoritative form. Combobox semantics between the editor and the list it filters (`aria-expanded`/`aria-controls`/active-descendant, result announcements) are likewise deferred — today they read to assistive tech as separate widgets.
- **Navigation lands selection-anchored.** Away from the display root, the browse client's navigate (a crumb jump or a submitted path) lists the target's parent level with the target selected and its children on the right — two panes throughout, so a crumb jump reads as stepping back one pane rather than collapsing to a single column. The display root (home, or a rootward chain with no parent crumb) keeps the single wide level; the parent leg runs under the same supersession scope as the landing, and its failure falls back to the single-pane landing quietly — the target listed fine, and nobody asked to see the parent.
+- **Navigation lands selection-anchored, progressively.** Away from the display root (the same collapse the crumb header renders, so crumbs and pane shape never disagree), the browse client's navigate commits the target level the moment it arrives — the editor closes and loading ends on that first settlement, so an Enter-submitted navigation is never withdrawn waiting on more — and a parent leg then upgrades the landing in place: the target's actual parent-level entry re-selected (platform case folding on Windows), its children on the right, so a crumb jump reads as stepping back one pane rather than collapsing to a single column. The parent leg runs under the landing's supersession scope and is aborted on the wire by any newer intent; a failed parent leg, or a truncated parent window lacking the target, leaves the committed single-pane landing — the upgrade must never orphan the selection it exists to anchor.
 - **Symlinks: follow for enterability.** `stat` probes symlinks (broken/cyclic → skipped); crumbs keep the logical path the operator navigated, and `workspace.create` already canonicalizes via realpath at adoption.
 - **Listing levels are bounded, and streamed.** One `list` call returns at most `maxEntries` rows (config, default 1000 — GitHub's web-UI directory-listing bound). The level streams via `opendir` into a name-sorted window of `maxEntries + 1` candidates, so memory stays O(maxEntries) and enterability probing touches only windowed candidates; the wire `DirectoryListing` carries a required `truncated` flag so the client states incompleteness instead of silently missing tail entries. A windowed broken symlink is not backfilled from beyond the window — the eviction already marks the level truncated. Window insertion is binary with an O(1) full-window tail rejection (an oversized level must not pay a window scan per dirent), and `list(path, signal)` threads the carrier's request signal so a scan of a stalled network directory cannot outlive a disconnected caller — every await in the scan (open, each read, each symlink probe) races the signal, an aborted exit abandons rather than awaits the close (Node queues close behind in-flight reads), and abandoned settlements are swallowed so cleanup can never surface as an unhandled rejection. An unbounded level is a memory/responsiveness hole for large or adversarial directories.
 - **Whole-filesystem scope, no roots config.** `workspace.create` accepts arbitrary paths and the API serves bash-driving methods, so a browse root would be UX scoping, not a boundary; configurability without a consumer fails the evidence bar. Deferred until a deployment needs it.
