Chat button + Manager integration (2026-07-29 19:42)

Status: 🔵 DESIGNED (not yet browser-tested — needs api-proxy restart)

What: Added 💬 Chat dropdown to PNG² charcard editor + Char Card Editor card in proxy manager

Why: Character cards need a one-click path to start chatting with a character in any of the NeXuS web apps or aichat terminal

How: - nexus_png2_editor.py: Added CSS .chat-wrap/.chat-menu dropdown, Chat ▾ button in editor header, toggleChatMenu()/chatIn() JS functions - chatIn() exports character as aichat role (POST /charcard/export/) then opens target app in new tab via window.open() - Options: ⚡ AI Foundry | 🌐 Char Gen | 🔥 AI Forge | ⬛ aichat (terminal — shows copy/paste command) - manager/index.html: Added Backend Apps section with renderBackendApps(), BACKEND_APPS[] const, checkBackend() live-status check - Charcard shows ● live / ○ backend offline + hint to run api-proxy start

Files: - ~/Projects/NeXuS-png2-editor/nexus_png2_editor.py (CSS + HTML + JS) - ~/nexus-web/manager/index.html (Backend Apps section) - ~/museum/nexus-png2-editor.fossil (new Fossil repo)

Testing: Needs api-proxy restart, then https://localhost:8443/charcard/ — open a card, click Chat ▾

Dependencies: Flask (system python3), nexus_web_server.py /charcard/ proxy route, api-proxy running
