+
+## Where things are
+
+- Project: `/home/avi/Projects/Nostr_Keynctr`
+- Git repo: `master` @ `74072b7` ("Neon theme: pure-black Matrix palette
+  (CAJAFUERTE-inspired) alongside light/dark/system"). Before it: `ef6ea17`
+  (checkpoint), `a00c7c9` (sidebar brand mark), `cbbe779` (desktop entry),
+  `8a644af` (app icon).
+- Working tree: clean apart from this checkpoint update. Note: `concept3.svg`
+  shows as deleted in the working tree and `KeynectrAppIconPossibility02.jpeg`
+  (icon source art) is untracked — left as the user had them, not committed.
+
+## What was completed
+
+1. **Neon theme (2026-08-24, `74072b7`).** New fourth theme adapted from the
+   CAJAFUERTE Obsidian theme (MIT, github.com/AreAjoErda/CAJAFUERTE): pure
+   black interface (`#000`), deep-pink primary (`#ff1493`), purple secondary
+   (`#8b00ff` family), yellow warnings (`#ffd700`), Matrix-green success.
+   - Settings → Appearance → Theme → **Neon** (with hint text).
+   - `applyTheme` maps neon straight to `data-theme='neon'` (not affected by
+     the system light/dark preference); sidebar logo auto-inverts like dark.
+   - Backend: `Theme::Neon` variant (serde `neon`), CLI
+     `settings set theme <light|dark|system|neon>`.
+   - Old settings files keep loading; new value round-trips through
+     settings.json.

+
+## Verification commands run (all green)
+
+Rust (repo root):
+
+```
+cargo test            # 113 passed; 0 failed
+cargo clippy --all-targets   # only pre-existing warnings in src/profiles.rs
+cargo fmt --check     # clean
+cargo build --release # success
+```
+
+Frontend (`frontend/`):
+
+```
+npm test              # 14 files, 92 tests passed (new neon theme test)
+npm run typecheck     # clean
+npm run lint          # 0 errors
+npm run format:check  # clean
+npm run build         # vite build success
+npm run electron:build  # tsc electron main success
+```
+
+## How to use / reproduce
+
+GUI: Settings → Appearance → Theme → **Neon**. Applies immediately and
+persists in `~/.local/share/keynectr/settings.json`.
+
+CLI:
+
+```bash
+B=~/Projects/Nostr_Keynctr/target/release/keynectr
+$B settings set theme neon
+```
+
+## Notes & next steps
+
+- Neon shadows carry a faint pink glow (CAJAFUERTE vibe); if it is too much,
+  dial `--shadow`/`--shadow-modal` in the `:root[data-theme='neon']` block of
+  `frontend/src/styles.css`.
+- The theme only restyles the app UI; the Electron window chrome stays
+  system-styled on Wayland.
+- Earlier today: sidebar brand mark (`a00c7c9`), taskbar icon via desktop
+  entry (`cbbe779`), app icon (`8a644af`), security upgrades (`c11ab9f`).
