The dossier
A document instrument in the explorer's panel language. Panels open from the rail into a drawer beside the pages, never over them; new data lights an LED on the rail word instead of popping a panel open.
| header line | Lamp, name, readout and the window verbs MIN, FULL, EJECT, CLOSE (each only when given). |
| status tape | Drops in when something needs attention, with recovery words such as RETRY. |
| rail + drawer | PAGES (thumbnails) plus any panels you pass: notes, findings, … |
| pages | Windowed: only pages near the view render. Fit-to-width follows the space. |
| spine | A document map with marks at positions within pages. |
| deck | Tools, indicators, commands with progress, and zoom. |
| docking | The panel tabs, tools, commands and zoom move to the start, center or end of the header, the deck or a side bar, to the rail, or float; drawers change sides, float and resize. Remembered per viewer. |
