Diary is Alice's first-person output stream — read-only observation, not
a peer of Portfolio/Market/News which are user-facing data surfaces. It
clusters conceptually with Chat ("interactions with Alice", whether
two-way or just observation), so it lives there now.
- ActivityBar drops the Diary leaf (8 nav items remaining)
- ChatChannelListContainer adds a Diary row below Notifications using
the same lucide Notebook icon. Channels list gets a "Channels" section
label so the upper "Alice surfaces" rows read as deliberate, not as
miscellaneous header noise.
- ActivitySection enum + Page enum drop 'diary'
- sections.tsx no longer maps a Diary sidebar
- DiarySidebar.tsx deleted (placeholder; never grew past one row)
The diary tab kind itself stays — `/diary` URL, openOrFocus, and existing
DiaryPage are unchanged.

Diary read as inverted: opening landed on the oldest cycle, with newer ones below the fold. That's chat ergonomics (bottom = newest, scroll up for history) — wrong shape for an observation surface where the expected mental model is feed/timeline (top = newest, scroll down for older). - `groupItemsByCycle` reverses the result: cycles render newest-first, with day dividers running Today → Yesterday → … . Items inside a single cycle stay ascending so the prompt-then-thought-then-tool-call read inside one heartbeat tick is still chronological. - Drop auto-scroll-to-bottom and the `messagesEndRef` anchor — first paint already lands on the newest entry. - Re-purpose the floating scroll button: was "scroll to bottom (latest)" pinned at bottom; now "Newest ↑" pinned at top, surfaces only after the user has scrolled into history. Same UX as Twitter / HN's "new posts ↑". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Reframes the Chat activity from "literal chat" to "interactions with
Alice" — including read-only observation. Diary fits there: it's
Alice's first-person output stream, not a peer of Portfolio/Market/News
which are user-facing data surfaces. Diary's render order also
corrected to match its observation-surface shape (feed, newest-first).

2026-05-10 — Diary read order fix
newest, scroll up for history). For an observation surface that's
inverted — feed/timeline shape is newest-first, scroll down for
older. Reversed the groups, dropped auto-scroll-to-bottom, repurposed
the floating scroll button to "Newest ↑" pinned at top.
→ tool-call read inside one heartbeat tick stays chronological.
f2860402026-05-10 — Diary moves under Chat
the same lucide
Notebookicon. Top half = "Alice surfaces"(Notifications + Diary), separator + "Channels" section label, then
the channel list. Reads as deliberate two-purpose sidebar instead of
a flat list with one decorative row at top.
