- * sidebar-runtime-widget — consolidated runtime rollup (2026-06-05).
- *
- * The three former stacked sidebar blocks (SidebarAgentBlock /
- * SidebarEndpointBlock / SidebarStatusBlock) are merged into ONE card so
- * hermes, hal0, runtime and openwebui read as a single runtime rollup:
- *
- *   - hermes    — bundled agent health (/api/agents). Row key deep-links to
- *                 the Hermes dashboard ONLY when /api/config/urls advertises
- *                 one (hermes_enabled); otherwise it's plain text (the dash
- *                 binds loopback-only, so there's no host:port fallback).
- *   - hal0      — the composite /v1 endpoint (synthetic /api/slots entry,
- *                 served from HAL0_DATA in forced-mock) + model count.
- *   - openwebui — external chat UI link derived from /api/config/urls.
- *
- * Health indicators live in the footer runtime chip: slot readiness from
- * useRuntimeRollup plus service dots from /api/services/health.
- *
- * Mock seams: /api/agents and /api/config/urls are NOT in the forced-mock
- * allowlist, so page.route drives them. /api/slots IS allowlisted, so the
- * hal0 + runtime rows render from HAL0_DATA (data.jsx).
