Phase 2b of the korekore UI (ADR-0021): the six pages, on the Mac and on Linux, each with its own states. Behind VIBEBUDDY_UI=korekore; without it both apps behave exactly as before.

Stacked on #175 (2a), which is stacked on #173 (Phase 1). This PR's own change is the last commit.

Scope: pages with their states; 2c keeps the rest

Each page is laid out as its canvas board draws it, and carries the states its "every state" board gives, so a page is done in one go rather than reworked in 2c:

Page	Board	States included
Character	Mac · Character	write progress (pink bar), write failed, Make your own look (frames, voice and lines from, errors), what the buddy calls you
Agents	Mac · Agents	WATCHING / WAITING / NOT SET UP / NOT FOUND / TRUST AGAIN, the hook write panel with its diff, terminal tabs (Mac only, as today)
Conversation	Mac · Conversation	answered by, the Anthropic key (saved / field), loading, nothing said yet, couldn't read, needs Codex / Claude Code
Device	Mac · Device	which one is your box, box not found, pin, taken by another computer, other firmware, unsupported board, update offer, updating / flashed / one more step / didn't finish / didn't take, firmware not downloaded yet, Wi-Fi joining and errors, paired computers, cable needed
General	Mac · General	the update line (available / up to date / failed / not checked / off), unsupported app
Advanced	Mac · Advanced	daemon running / not running

Left for 2c: onboarding, the confirmations (on the Mac they are still NSAlerts: flash, update, language restart), system notifications and banners, the end of onboarding.

Not built, because the daemon can't do them yet: Cancel on a write, the time left and the route (OVER WI-FI) on the progress cards, the daemon's uptime on Advanced. Those need daemon changes; say if you want them.

What each page does is the current tab's, copied: the current views are untouched. Linux keeps its own differences: no terminal tabs, inline panels where the Mac has sheets, the Permission denied hint.

Screenshots

Mac, the real window drawn off screen in a debug build with sample data (VIBEBUDDY_KOREKORE_SNAPSHOTS=<folder> swift run --package-path app VibeBuddy). The conversation is canned; the Agents page shows this Mac's real hook and terminal-permission state.

Linux, drawn headless by iced_test (cargo test -p vibebuddy-desktop korekore::snapshots -- --ignored). Only Kore and the robot on Character: the Linux Character packs aren't installed on the machine that drew these.

Where it departs from the canvas, and why

• Character cards show the production looks (48 × 64 at 1×), not the chibi drafts: the drafts are Phase 4. Kore's card says COMING SOON until Kore is a Character (ADR-0021). The robot card stays.
• What the buddy calls you sits under the volume: the canvas only shows it inside Make your own look, but it applies to every Character.
• The Device screen shows the last capture at 1× inside the design's 352 × 264 frame; the canvas scales it 1.1, which makes the pixel art uneven. Before a capture, the box is redrawn from the status.
• Colours not in tokens.json were replaced: the config box's dashed #CFC8DC with mist-text; the state boards' #fff1c2 / #ffe1e1 panels with cream and a kore-pink-text outline.

Changes to existing files

File	Lines	What
app/Sources/VibeBuddy/AppDelegate.swift	+7	debug builds only: the snapshot mode
app/Sources/VibeBuddy/AppModel.swift	+9	debug builds only: showSample(_:)
app/Sources/VibeBuddyCore/Status.swift	+3 −1	rolledBack read from the status
app/Sources/VibeBuddyCore/Resident.swift	+3	ResidentInfo.sample for previews
desktop/src/main.rs	+13 −13	the korekore switch is a bool and its sections are the tabs; view() hands the page over
desktop/src/status.rs	+2	rolled_back
tools/check-localization.py	±1	read Swift subfolders too: it missed every page under VibeBuddy/Korekore/
app/Localization/zh-Hans.lproj/Localizable.strings	+85	the new strings

New files: KorekoreUI/Controls.swift, KorekoreUI/ConversationPage.swift, VibeBuddy/Korekore/Pages/*.swift (5), VibeBuddy/Korekore/KorekoreSnapshots.swift, desktop/src/korekore/controls.rs, desktop/src/korekore/pages.rs, and the screenshots.

Tests

• just test (cargo test --workspace, SelfTest): pass.
• cargo check and cargo clippy for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu and the host: pass, no warnings.
• python3 tools/check-localization.py: ok, 418 keys.
• Swift built with -warn-long-expression-type-checking=150: no slow expressions in the new code (the CI compiler gave up on one in korekore Phase 2a: window, sidebar with the mini box, menu bar #175).
• Not run here: the apps themselves with the switch on, beside the installed app, and Linux on a real Omarchy desktop.
