A session unused for seven days is dropped, the Sessions list marks a day's idleness and
can sign all of those out at once. The hub keeps a KVM's own cookies from any browser that
has them and lends them to one that hasn't, on the wire and back to the page. The stack
editor and the new-stack dialog use CodeEditor: line numbers, YAML and .env colour under a
real textarea, Tab/Shift+Tab/Enter indentation, and a key bar on touch screens.

Mitchell, on the read-only version built earlier today: scratch it. He hands
these to people he trusts and revokes them otherwise, so a console with half
its tabs missing solved a problem he doesn't have.
So the allow-list, the middleware check and every "not for a guest" branch in
the UI are gone. What is left is the part that was the point: a throwaway
account that expires by itself, is checked on every request, swept once a
minute, and can be ended in one tap. A guest now gets the whole console on
every machine, terminal included.
Said once, since it is his call and he has made it: that means a guest has a
root-capable shell on every host, and can make an account or a token of its own
that outlives the guest login.

Users -> Guest logins makes a throwaway user name and password, good for half
an hour by default, to hand to somebody who wants to see the console. It is a
normal account with `guest: true` and an expiry, so login, sessions and the
saved look need no special case, and it is left out of the account list, out of
"the last account can't be removed", and out of the one account an empty user
name means.
What a guest may do is one allow-list, checked in the auth middleware, rather
than a flag ~190 handlers have to remember. The list is matched by asking the
router which handler a request would reach, so it cannot drift from the routes
it names, and it is checked against the scoped path — /api/nodes/grid/procs is
/api/procs on grid — because the hub proxies to a node with a token that is
full control of that node. The node cannot tell a guest from its owner, so the
only place it can be stopped is here, before the request leaves.
A guest gets the dashboard, containers, stacks, disks, hardware, ZFS and usage,
on this machine and on any managed one, and nothing else: no terminal (attaching
is a GET, and it is a root shell), no files, no container logs or environments,
no stack files, no alert channels, no cron, no tokens, no settings, no power.
Expiry is enforced on every request and swept once a minute, so a console left
open on a visitor's phone stops within the minute rather than at their next
click; revoking signs them out at once. The console hides what a guest cannot
use and says how long is left where the power button would be.
