+# Sprint 20260310-024 - FE Topbar Status Chip Ownership Split
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Finish and verify the topbar/context-controls split so global scope selectors stay in `ContextChipsComponent` while status chips live in the authenticated topbar row.
+- Capture the missed verification work for the already-implemented layout refactor and keep the commit scoped to the Web layout layer.
+- Working directory: `src/Web/StellaOps.Web`.
+- Allowed coordination edits: `docs/implplan/SPRINT_20260310_024_FE_topbar_status_chip_ownership_split.md`.
+- Expected evidence: focused Angular layout specs and a live authenticated Playwright shell check.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Depends on the rebuilt local shell being reachable through `https://stella-ops.local`.
+- Safe parallelism: avoid mixing unrelated Mission Control or search work into this layout cleanup iteration.
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+- `AGENTS.md`
+- `docs/qa/feature-checks/FLOW.md`
+
+## Delivery Tracker
+
+### FE-TOPBAR-SPLIT-001 - Finalize topbar ownership for status chips
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: QA, Developer, Product Manager
+Task description:
+- Verify the refactor that moved system-status chips out of `ContextChipsComponent` and into the authenticated topbar row, then bring the stale unit tests and component comments in line with the new ownership split.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] `ContextChipsComponent` describes and renders only shared scope controls.
+- [x] `AppTopbarComponent` focused spec covers the authenticated status-chip row.
+- [x] Live authenticated shell check confirms tenant, context controls, and status chips render together without console errors.
+
+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-03-10 | Sprint created while auditing forgotten uncommitted Web files; confirmed the live shell already renders tenant, context controls, and five status chips after authentication. | Developer |
+| 2026-03-10 | Updated the stale topbar/context-chips specs to match the ownership split, aligned the `ContextChipsComponent` contract text/ARIA label, and reran the focused Angular layout tests with `7/7` passing. | QA |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: keep status chips in the topbar rather than `ContextChipsComponent` so layout can separate persistent shell health state from the interactive scope controls.
+- Risk: unit tests can drift again when shell ownership changes without matching spec updates.
+- Mitigation: keep focused topbar/context-chips specs near the components and validate the live authenticated shell with Playwright when ownership changes.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- Run the focused layout specs and commit the topbar/context-control split as its own FE iteration.
