Implement focused classes/modules instead of a stream of functions. Run targeted node --check validation only and document full samples smoke skip reason.

-# PR 11.188 Palette Reverse Engineering Report
-
-## Purpose
-Reverse engineer the legacy Palette Browser, preserve it as `tools/Palette Browser-v1/`, and rebuild `tools/Palette Browser/` as the first clean session-backed Tool v2 implementation.
-
-## Legacy Files Inspected
-Inspected before replacing the active folder:
-
-- `tools/Palette Browser/index.html`
-- `tools/Palette Browser/main.js`
-- `tools/Palette Browser/paletteBrowser.css`
-- `tools/Palette Browser/README.md`
-- `tools/Palette Browser/how_to_use.html`
-- `tools/Palette Browser/assets/images/preview.svg`
-
-Immediate legacy input dependencies inspected for contract evidence only:
-
-- `tools/shared/paletteDocumentContract.js`
-- `src/engine/paletteList.js`
-
-## Legacy Folder Preservation
-The legacy implementation was moved by safe copy-then-replace because Windows denied a direct folder rename while the folder was likely held open by another process.
-
-Result:
-
-```text
-tools/Palette Browser-v1/
-```
-
-contains the legacy Palette Browser files, including the old platform shell entry, legacy CSS, README, how-to file, and preview asset.
-
-## Legacy Inputs
-Observed legacy inputs and data paths:
-
-- `paletteJson` style data was normalized indirectly through `normalizePaletteDocument()` and `validatePaletteDocument()`.
-- Legacy built-in palettes came from `src/engine/paletteList.js` via global `palettesList`.
-- Custom palettes were stored in `localStorage` under `toolboxaid.paletteBrowser.customPalettes`.
-- Hidden built-in palette ids were stored in `localStorage` under `toolboxaid.paletteBrowser.hiddenBuiltins`.
-- Shared palette state was read/written through `assetUsageIntegration.js` handoff helpers.
-- Query loading existed through `samplePresetPath` and diagnostics helpers.
-- Workspace detection depended on URL params, referrer, parent path checks, and shared handoff state.
-- Import/export/copy actions accepted broader palette document shapes through legacy normalization.
-
-Required focus for the rebuilt contract:
-
-```text
-paletteJson.name
-paletteJson.colors[]
-```
-
-A displayable color must provide an explicit `#RRGGBB` or `#RRGGBBAA` value. The rebuilt contract accepts string color entries and object entries with an explicit `hex` field because those were the explicit color forms observed in the legacy palette paths.
-
-## UI Sections Found
-Legacy UI sections found:
-
-- Collapsible platform shell/header region.
-- Left Palette List panel with launch context, search, count, and palette list.
-- Center Palette Preview panel with selected palette title, swatches, palette name input, swatch color/name/symbol controls, palette actions, and swatch actions.
-- Right Actions & Validation panel with JSON preview, validation summary, import/export/copy/use-in-workspace controls, and handoff status text.
-
-## Behavior To Keep Conceptually
-Kept conceptually in the clean rebuild:
-
-- Visible tool name: `Palette Browser / Manager`.
-- Palette name display.
-- Swatch rendering.
-- Swatch count display.
-- Explicit empty state when no session palette exists.
-- Explicit malformed/error state when session palette data violates the contract.
-- Validation readout for the active session contract.
-
-## Behavior To Delete
-Deleted from the rebuilt active tool:
-
-- `platformShell` usage.
-- `assetUsageIntegration` usage.
-- Shared handoff reads/writes.
-- Built-in palette fallback loading.
-- `localStorage` custom palette loading.
-- Query-driven sample preset loading.
-- Import/export/copy/edit/delete/new/duplicate palette workflows.
-- Workspace auto-open behavior.
-- Legacy broad schema normalization.
-- Tool id alias dependencies.
-
-## Legacy Systems Avoided
-The rebuilt `tools/Palette Browser/` and new `tools/common/` files do not import or call:
-
-- `tools/shared/platformShell.js`
-- `tools/shared/assetUsageIntegration.js`
-- shared handoff modules
-- shared palette document normalization modules
-- tool alias registries
-- samples or games
-
-## Final Tool Contract
-The rebuilt Palette Browser reads only session-backed `paletteJson`.
-
-Supported session sources:
-
-1. Workspace URL writes session and launches tool with `hostContextId`; the tool reads `toolboxaid.toolHost.context.<hostContextId>` from `sessionStorage`.
-2. Tool URL provides explicit `paletteJson` or `paletteData`; `tools/common/sessionContext.js` writes that explicit data to session first, then returns the session-backed record.
-3. Tool URL provides explicit `paletteUrl`; `tools/common/sessionContext.js` fetches that explicit URL, writes the result to session first, then returns the session-backed record.
-
-Accepted `paletteJson` shape:
-
-```text
-paletteJson.name: non-empty string
-paletteJson.colors: array
-paletteJson.colors[]: string #RRGGBB/#RRGGBBAA or object with hex #RRGGBB/#RRGGBBAA
-```
-
-No fallback/default palette data is provided.
-
-## Sidebar Accordion Control Type Plan
-Initial Palette-first control groups:
-
-### Context
-Implemented as read-only session source/context display.
-
-Needed controls/readouts:
-
-- session found/missing
-- source path
-- context id
-
-### Palette
-Implemented as read-only palette display.
-
-Needed controls/readouts:
-
-- palette name
-- color count
-- swatch grid
-
-### Display
-Implemented as fixed display only.
-
-Needed controls/readouts:
-
-- responsive swatch cards
-- visible hex/name/symbol values
-
-Deferred, not implemented:
-
-- display density controls
-- sort controls
-- color-space toggles
-
-### Validation
-Implemented as read-only contract validation.
-
-Needed controls/readouts:
-
-- valid/invalid contract state
-- error messages for malformed session data
-
-### Workspace
-Implemented as read-only workspace/session status.
-
-Needed controls/readouts:
-
-- workspace/session context status
-
-Deferred, not implemented:
-
-- workspace session mutation controls
-- import/export controls
-- palette selection handoff controls
-
-## Menu Plan
-The rebuilt tool has two menu zones:
-
-```text
-menuTool
-menuWorkspace
-```
-
-`menuTool` contains read-only session and contract launch information for the current tool.
-
-`menuWorkspace` contains read-only workspace/session status only. No workspace mutation, import, or export controls are exposed in this PR.
-
-## Files Created Or Rebuilt
-- `tools/Palette Browser-v1/**` preserves the legacy implementation.
-- `tools/Palette Browser/index.html` clean active Palette Browser shell.
-- `tools/Palette Browser/main.js` class-based session reader/renderer.
-- `tools/Palette Browser/styles.css` active Palette Browser styling.
-- `tools/common/toolLayout.css` shared clean tool layout foundation.
-- `tools/common/sessionContext.js` session-backed context reader/writer.
-- `tools/common/toolContract.js` narrow palette contract validator.
-
-## Validation Results
-Targeted validation run:
-
-```powershell
-node --check "tools/common/sessionContext.js"
-node --check "tools/common/toolContract.js"
-node --check "tools/Palette Browser/main.js"
-```
-
-Results:
-
-- `node --check "tools/common/sessionContext.js"` passed.
-- `node --check "tools/common/toolContract.js"` passed.
-- `node --check "tools/Palette Browser/main.js"` passed.
-
-Additional targeted inspection:
-
-```powershell
-rg -n "platformShell|assetUsageIntegration|shared/|handoff|v2|V2" "tools/Palette Browser" "tools/common"
-```
-
-Result: only required lifecycle log labels contain `V2`; no platformShell, assetUsageIntegration, shared import, or handoff references remain in the rebuilt active tool/common files.
-
-Targeted browser/tool launch check: not run. No existing automated Palette Browser browser harness was found in scope, and the requested validation was syntax-only.
-
-## Full Samples Smoke Decision
-Skipped - targeted Palette Browser and new `tools/common/` foundation changes only; no broad shared sample loader change was made.
-
-## Roadmap Decision
-`docs/dev/roadmaps/MASTER_ROADMAP_ENGINE.md` was left untouched. Existing palette roadmap entries relate to older palette data completeness/normalization work, not an exact Tool v2 or Palette v2 rebuild status item, so no status-only marker update was appropriate.
