A third pocket-widget runtime shape: a scene-only WidgetGame (no guest, no EmbeddedUi) recreating the airbrush-chrome record-sleeve look as a living diorama. A framed tunnel-book box recedes wing by wing — cut-metal curtains carrying faces in profile, a striped wall, a red-lit brick room with a purple cube, orange dunes — to a starburst deep inside, with fog spilling out over the desktop and a chrome-lidded eye below the frame. Everything is procedural at load time: geometry in `diorama` (non-uniform Catmull-Rom face profiles extruded as thick cutout slabs whose gradient bands hug the silhouette), painting in `paint` (multi-stop smoothstepped ramps + deterministic LCG grain), all instances unlit so the airbrush shading is exactly what was painted. The starburst is beams + additive sprites; the fog is drifting additive puffs. Interactions: drag through the frame opening to orbit (the frame itself moves the window), scroll to dolly, double-click to dive inside, arrows nudge, R recenters. `--screenshot/--yaw/--pitch/--dist` render headless composites; `--still` freezes the star and fog, and the governor receipt then shows 2 rendered frames over a 3 s windowed run (vs 164 animated).

…en apps A widget launched from a fullscreen terminal opened on the desktop Space and appeared to not exist — macOS never switches Spaces for a CLI-spawned window, and normal windows can't join a fullscreen Space at all. Set NSWindow.collectionBehavior to CanJoinAllSpaces | Stationary | IgnoresCycle | FullScreenAuxiliary on the shell's window (winit exposes no API for this, so it goes through the raw AppKit handle; objc2 is already in the tree via winit). On by default for both widget shapes as `WidgetConfig::all_spaces` — a desktop widget that vanishes when you switch Spaces isn't ambient — and a no-op off macOS.

What
A third pocket-widget runtime shape beside the handheld (#128) and the note (#129):
examples/chorus, a scene-onlyWidgetGame— no guest, noEmbeddedUi— that recreates the airbrush-chrome record-sleeve look (Mildlife's Chorus) as a living desktop diorama you can peer into.A framed tunnel-book box recedes wing by wing — cut-metal curtains carrying faces in profile, a red/green striped wall, a red-lit brick room with a purple cube, orange dunes — to a starburst deep inside. Fog spills out of the frame onto the desktop, and a chrome-lidded eye watches from below.
How
diorama.rs): non-uniform Catmull-Rom face profiles extruded as thick cutout slabs; the front-face columns are offset curves packed toward the free edge so the gradient bands hug the silhouette, with a bright-lip rim along every cut. The box has a cream exterior shell, so orbiting shows a tunnel book from the side, not culled backfaces.paint.rs): all textures procedural at load — multi-stop smoothstepped ramps (the airbrush look lives in the easing), deterministic LCG grain, per-wall painters (ember grid, pixel city, glow wall, stripe registers). Every instance islit = 0, so the painted shading is exactly what renders.main.rs): the starburst isBeamspikes + additive sprites breathing on two sine phases; the fog is drifting additive puffs.Interactions
Drag through the frame opening to orbit (drag the frame itself to move the window — one
through_openingray decides), scroll to dolly, double-click to dive between home/close framings, arrows nudge,Rrecenters, Esc quits.Verification
