Product Academy / Cockpit Central
Desks explain. Pulses alert. Commands act.
Cockpit Central is the native Windows control surface for Diary. It does not become a new authority: it reads governed sources, shows their current state, and launches reviewed actions through role-aware gates.
Operating model
Three kinds of surface, one authority chain.
Desks
Detailed, filterable work surfaces for files, media, APIs, homes, stages, setup, health, projects, and evidence. A Desk may preview or launch a controlled action.
Pulses
Read-mostly summaries with bounded refresh. Pulses expose freshness, exceptions, readiness, and trend without repeating the heavy collector behind the source.
Commands
Context menus and the Diary Commands menu collect supported actions. Availability depends on the selected surface, machine role, and current evidence.
World clocks and weather
Time-zone context is a first-class Pulse.
The first header surface combines analog and digital clocks, local time-zone identity, UTC offset, current weather, forecast, humidity, wind, daylight, and data freshness. Weather is cached first and refreshed in the background so the application can paint quickly.
Local timeAnalog + digitalTime zone and UTC offset remain separate facts.
Weather°C / °F · humidity · windProvider and observation age belong in the detail view.
Pulse registry
The current header signals, from their source definition.
The list below is generated from the public-safe snapshot of the current Cockpit Header Widgets registry. Refresh intervals describe the UI refresh, not a promise that an external provider changes that often.

No Pulse definitions match those filters.
Desk families
Detail appears where the work belongs.
Exact nested tabs are configuration-aware. These families describe the current application source without promising that every role sees every action.
Operations
Workflow, Heartbeat, Health, Telemetry, Intake, Settings, Setup, Maintenance, Essentials, Apps Ready, Audit, and Trash.
Products
Diary, Dossier, Home, DAM, GAS, Hub, Reach, Concierge, Home, Mail, Navision, Network, and API surfaces.
Media and evidence
Asset, Bracket, Scan, PDF, CSV, YouTube, Plex, and archive-oriented previews that keep originals in their authority lane.
People and work
Support, ToDo, Jobs, Phone, Onboarding, Project, Review, and account-aware work queues.
AI and learning
AI Desk, AI Pulse, Academy, project learning, and self-healing evidence. Healthy noise stays in telemetry; meaningful exceptions can be promoted.
Availability rule
MachineType, configured authorities, license scope, and provider authorization determine which nested data and commands are available.
Workflow roles
One workflow at a time, with explicit promotion rules.
Controls
Predictable shortcuts and calm refresh.
| Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| F1 | Open Cockpit Central help for the current application context. |
| F5 | Refresh the current Desk or selected surface when a refresh action is available. |
| Ctrl + F5 | Reload header widget definitions and rebuild the Pulse tabs. |
| F12 | Open the function-key legend. |
| Search + filters | Filter the visible page only. Clear returns to the complete current result set. |
| Context menu | Shows actions that are valid for the selected evidence and current authority. |
Diary Pulse mobile
A client of published signals—not a remote-control copy.
The Android app can present public-safe Pulses, weather, Concierge summaries, compliance views, Product Academy pages, and the exact-host website viewer. Private Windows commands and raw archive paths remain outside the mobile public data contract.
Safety boundary
Observable does not mean public.
Public reference
Product purpose, interface behavior, Pulse definitions, refresh policy, workflow roles, and privacy-safe examples.
Private implementation
Credentials, tokens, personal evidence, exact machine paths, property details, private compliance rows, logs, and repair history remain in governed offline authorities.
