+# Plan: Fix IDAA Jitsi Breakout Links
+
+IDAA Jitsi meetings are embedded in an iframe on the `idaa.org` website. To allow members to "break out" of the iframe (for a better experience on mobile or to use full-tab features), the app provides an "Open Meeting Externally" link.
+
+Currently, this link is generated from `$page.url.href`, which often lacks the `key` (site access key) and `uuid` (Novi identity token) required for Aether's authentication gate, especially if the user has navigated internally within SvelteKit.
+
+## 1. Objective
+Ensure all "Breakout" and "Copy Link" actions on the IDAA Video Conferences page include the necessary `key` and `uuid` parameters.
+
+## 2. Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Update `src/routes/idaa/(idaa)/video_conferences/+page.svelte`
+- Create a reactive `breakout_url` derived from `$page.url.href`.
+- In the derivation logic:
+    - Instantiate a `new URL`.
+    - Check if `key` is present in `searchParams`. If missing, pull from `$ae_loc.allow_access` or `$ae_loc.site_access_key`.
+    - Check if `uuid` is present in `searchParams`. If missing, pull from `$idaa_loc.novi_uuid`.
+    - Return the resulting `href`.
+- Update the following UI elements to use `breakout_url`:
+    - `copy_meeting_link` function (uses `navigator.clipboard.writeText`).
+    - "Open in New Tab" anchor tag (`href`).
+    - "Copy Link" fallback textarea (`value`).
+    - "Copy Break-out Link" in the Jitsi Tools panel (`value`).
+
+### Step 2: Update `documentation/CLIENT__IDAA_and_customized_mods.md`
+- Add a note in the "Authentication: Novi UUID System" or "Iframe Integration" section about the requirement for `key` and `uuid` in breakout links.
+- Document that the frontend now automatically re-injects these for external links to ensure persistent session access outside the iframe.
+
+## 3. Verification
+- Manually verify the logic:
+    - If `key` and `uuid` are already in the URL (e.g., initial load), the derived URL should remain unchanged (or correctly deduplicated).
+    - If they are missing (e.g., after navigating from another IDAA page), they should be added to the generated link.
+- Run `npx svelte-check` to ensure no syntax regressions.

+# Plan: Launcher Config UX Refinement (Cohesion & Stability)
+
+The goal of this plan is to address the visual "bouncing", layering overload, and the misplaced close button in the new Launcher configuration modal.
+
+## 1. Dimensional Stability
+- **Problem:** Switching tabs causes the modal to resize vertically and horizontally, leading to a "bouncing" feel.
+- **Solution:** 
+    - Set a fixed height for the `Launcher_cfg` container (e.g., `h-[750px]`).
+    - Use `overflow-y-auto` only for the right-hand content pane.
+    - Ensure the sidebar has a stable width.
+
+## 2. Visual Hierarchy & Layering
+- **Problem:** Too many nested backgrounds (Page > Launcher > Modal > Inner Pane > Section Pane > Section Content).
+- **Solution:**
+    - Flatten the background of the main content pane.
+    - Simplify `Launcher_Cfg_Section.svelte`:
+        - Remove `shadow-xl` from individual sections.
+        - Use subtler borders instead of strong "preset-outlined" colors.
+        - Remove the secondary background (`bg-white/5`) from the section content area.
+    - Standardize on a single, clean surface color for the right-hand pane.
+
+## 3. The "Centered Close Button" Bug
+- **Problem:** A close button is appearing in the middle of the screen.
+- **Investigation:** 
+    - Check for absolute-positioned elements in `Launcher_cfg.svelte` or `+layout.svelte`.
+    - Verify if Flowbite's `Modal` default close button is clashing with internal buttons.
+- **Solution:**
+    - Consolidate all "Close" actions.
+    - Use the Modal's built-in top-right close button (if available) or a single, well-positioned button in the sidebar.
+
+## 4. Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Update `Launcher_cfg.svelte`
+- Set stable dimensions: `h-[750px] max-h-[90vh] w-[1000px] max-w-[95vw]`.
+- Remove internal shadows and borders that conflict with the Modal container.
+- Clean up the sidebar "Close" button.
+
+### Step 2: Update `Launcher_cfg_section.svelte`
+- Simplify the styling to reduce visual clutter.
+- Remove `shadow-xl`.
+- Use consistent padding and margins.
+
+### Step 3: Update `+layout.svelte`
+- Ensure the `Modal` is configured for a stable, large view without default padding issues.
+- Verify the `modal_cfg_open` logic.
+
+### Step 4: Add `Launcher_cfg_field.svelte` (Helper)
+- Implement a unified field helper to standardize Label/Description/Input layouts across all tabs.
+
+## 5. Verification
+- Toggle between all 7 tabs. Verify zero layout shift (height/width remains constant).
+- Check appearance in Light and Dark modes.
+- Verify "Technical Mode" transitions.
