The nav link race:
- Every page's header used `<a id="jobLink" href=''>` and the real
destination was only assigned later, after /info returned. An empty
href resolves to the current document URL, so clicking "Monitor Jobs"
on sendMessage before /info completed silently reloaded sendMessage.
- Fixed structurally: nav links now use static relative hrefs baked
into the HTML ("./sendMessage.html", "./monitorJobs.html"), so the
destination is correct the moment the DOM parses.
Shared UI:
- New html/css/app.css: design tokens (palette, radius, shadow, font),
sticky compact top header (bot avatar + label on the left, nav pills
in the middle, current user on the right, active-page highlight via
aria-current), card containers, form styling with focus rings,
DataTables theme overrides, status pills, modal, and responsive
breakpoints.
- New html/js/app.js: shared browser bootstrap. Parses appName from
the URL, redirects to OAuth if the id cookie is missing, fetches
/info once, populates the header, applies aria-current to the
active nav link, and invokes a per-page onReady callback with
{ info, appName }. Also exports getCookie, escapeHtml, and formatDate
helpers so each page stops shipping its own copy.
Per-page rewrites:
- sendMessage.html/.js: form now lives in a card, image preview only
shows when a file is attached, EasyMDE + VirtualSelect styled to
match the theme, submit is a primary button, confirmation modal
redesigned. All bootstrap code deleted (delegated to app.js).
- monitorJobs.html/.js: three cards (Running / Scheduled / Completed)
with themed DataTables. Completed table sorts by start time desc,
paginates, and searches; message column truncates HTML previews to
~120 chars. Empty-state text per table. `jobId` and running-row
"view" links go to jobDetail via safe relative URLs.
- jobDetail.html/.js: same shared header + card layout; summary grid,
message preview, and recipient table styled to match the new
palette.
Sanity checks:
- All 43 helper tests still pass.
- Server boots cleanly on port 3001.
- Curl of sendMessage/monitorJobs/jobDetail all return 200 with the
shared header markup.
- /CollabCentral/:app/css/app.css and /CollabCentral/:app/js/app.js
both serve 200 (shared static mount is per-bot as expected).
- No local href in any page is empty; every nav target resolves at
parse time.
- /info and requireBot 404 gate unchanged.
