Alan Wizemann c7bcfd8655 feat(dashboards): v2.7 widget catalog — file-reading widgets, sparkline, typed status, project-wide watch
Major project-dashboard release. Five new widget types (markdown_file, log_tail,
cron_status, image, status_grid), inline sparkline on stat, typed status enum
shared by list + status_grid, structured WidgetErrorCard, and a project-wide
.scarf/ directory watch that picks up files cron jobs write next to dashboard.json.

- ProjectDashboard: extend DashboardWidget with path/lines/jobId/cells/gridColumns/sparkline; add StatusGridCell + ListItemStatus (lenient parse with synonyms)
- HermesFileWatcher: watch each project's .scarf/ dir alongside dashboard.json (local FSEvents + remote SSH mtime poll); updateProjectWatches signature now takes dashboardPaths + scarfDirs
- New widget views: CronStatus, Image, LogTail, MarkdownFile, StatusGrid, plus WidgetErrorCard for structured failure messaging; legacy "Unknown" placeholder replaced everywhere
- WidgetPathResolver: project-root-anchored path resolution that rejects absolute paths + ".." escapes pre and post canonicalization
- Stat widget gains optional inline sparkline (pure SwiftUI Path, no Charts dep); list widget rows route through typed status with semantic icons + ScarfColor tints
- iOS list widget + unsupported card adopt typed status + warning-toned error card (parity with Mac error styling); new widget types remain Mac-only
- Site mirror: widgets.js renders all five new types (file-reading widgets show annotated catalog placeholders), sparkline SVG, status-grid grid; styles.css adds typed-status palette + error-card + sparkline + grid styles
- Catalog validator: tools/widget-schema.json is the single source of truth; build-catalog.py loads it and enforces per-type required fields. 8 new test cases in test_build_catalog.py covering schema load, v2.7 additions, and missing-required rejection
- Template-author skill (SKILL.md) gains v2.7 Widget Catalog section + canonical status guidance; CONTRIBUTING.md points authors at widget-schema.json; template-author bundle rebuilt
- Localizable.xcstrings picks up auto-extracted strings for the previously-shipped OAuth keepalive feature
- Release notes drafted at releases/v2.7.0/RELEASE_NOTES.md

Backwards compatible — existing dashboard.json renders byte-identically, status synonyms (ok/up/down/active/etc.) keep working.

Scarf Templates

The community template catalog for Scarf — a macOS GUI for the Hermes AI agent. Each subdirectory here is one installable project template. Browse the live catalog with live dashboard previews at https://awizemann.github.io/scarf/templates/.

What's a template?

A .scarftemplate bundle ships:

  • A pre-configured project dashboard (widgets for stats, lists, text, charts).
  • A cross-agent AGENTS.md (agents.md standard) that tells Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Aider, Jules, Copilot, Zed, etc. how to work with the project.
  • Optional skills, cron jobs, optional per-agent instruction shims (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, .cursorrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md), and an optional memory appendix.

Users install with one click from the catalog site or by opening a .scarftemplate file in Scarf.

Layout

Each template lives at templates/<github-handle>/<template-name>/ with:

Contributing a template

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full submission walkthrough. tl;dr: fork, drop a template under templates/<your-handle>/<your-name>/, open a PR. A CI check validates the bundle; a maintainer reviews the content.

Catalog metadata

catalog.json at this directory is the aggregate index that the website reads. It's regenerated by the maintainer on merge — do not modify it in your PR, the build script will take care of it.
