Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

avalonia-layout scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Avalonia Layout

Overview

Avalonia layout uses a two-pass measure/arrange system. Every control has Margin (space outside the control), Padding (space inside), HorizontalAlignment, and VerticalAlignment. Layout is done with Panel subclasses — choose the panel that matches the arrangement model.

Panel Quick Reference

Panel Arranges children Use when
Grid In defined rows/columns Complex layouts, forms, dashboards
StackPanel Linearly (H or V) Toolbars, lists, vertical forms
WrapPanel Linearly, wraps to next row/col Tag clouds, icon grids, badge lists
DockPanel Docked to edges + fill center App shell, menu+content+statusbar
Canvas Absolute x/y positions Drawing surfaces, overlays, diagrams
UniformGrid Equal-size cells, auto rows/cols Grids of same-size items
RelativePanel Relative to siblings or panel Adaptive layouts, dynamic alignment

Grid

Sizing Modes

Syntax Meaning
* Proportional — takes remaining space
2* Takes 2× the share of *
Auto Sized to content
200 Fixed pixel size

Basic Grid

<Grid RowDefinitions="Auto,*,Auto"
      ColumnDefinitions="200,*">

    <!-- Header spans full width -->
    <Border Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Background="Navy" Height="50"/>

    <!-- Sidebar -->
    <ListBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"/>

    <!-- Main content -->
    <ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1">
        <StackPanel Margin="16" Spacing="8"/>
    </ScrollViewer>

    <!-- Footer spans full width -->
    <Border Grid.Row="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Padding="8,4"/> <!-- no built-in StatusBar control; use Border/StackPanel -->

</Grid>

Login Form Example

<Grid RowDefinitions="Auto,Auto,Auto,Auto"
      ColumnDefinitions="120,*"
      Width="320"
      HorizontalAlignment="Center"
      VerticalAlignment="Center">

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"
               Text="Username:"
               VerticalAlignment="Center"
               Margin="0,0,8,8"/>
    <TextBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1"
             Margin="0,0,0,8"/>

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"
               Text="Password:"
               VerticalAlignment="Center"
               Margin="0,0,8,8"/>
    <TextBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"
             PasswordChar="●"
             Margin="0,0,0,16"/>

    <Button Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
            Content="Sign In"
            HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
