+
+## Where things are
+
+- Project: `/home/avi/Projects/Nostr_Keynctr`
+- Git repo: `master` @ `dd50b24` ("Rename glass theme display to Aurora; fix
+  unreadable select options"). Before it: `ecb666b` (frosted-glass look),
+  `0cab883`/`1aae81c` (checkpoints), `bfe14f0` (glass fix).
+- Working tree: clean apart from this checkpoint update. `concept3.svg` deleted
+  and `KeynectrAppIconPossibility02.jpeg` untracked remain as the user had them.
+
+## What was completed
+
+1. **Theme renamed to Aurora (`dd50b24`).** User picked "Aurora" from options
+   (Aurora/Frost/Glacier/Ice/keep). Display label only — internal id stays
+   `glass`, so existing settings.json values need no migration.
+2. **Fixed unreadable theme dropdown (`dd50b24`).** Under the glass theme the
+   native `<select>` popup inherited the near-transparent select background and
+   painted white-on-white. Options now get an explicit dark surface
+   (`#141a26`) + theme text color, and the glass palette sets
+   `color-scheme: dark` so native controls render dark.
+
+## Commits added most recently
+
+- `dd50b24` Rename glass theme display to Aurora; fix unreadable select options
+
+## Verification commands run (all green)
+
+Frontend (`frontend/`): format:check, npm test (92), typecheck, lint,
+`npm run build` (dist rebuilt for plain `npm start`). Rust untouched this round
+(last verified at `ecb666b`: cargo test 113 passed).
+
+## How to use / reproduce
+
+```bash
+cd ~/Projects/Nostr_Keynctr/frontend && npm start
+```
+
+Settings → Appearance → Theme → **Aurora** (frosted translucent panels over a
+glowing deep-blue backdrop). Switching to any other theme from the dropdown is
+readable in all themes.
+
+## Notes & next steps
+
+- If a full identifier rename is ever wanted (Rust enum + types + migration),
+  it needs a serde alias for old saved settings — deliberately not done.
+- Blur/glow tuning: `backdrop-filter` rules + `html[data-theme='glass'] body`
+  gradient near the top of `frontend/src/styles.css`.
