Publish documents as [Tangled strings](https://tangled.sh) (AT Protocol gists) and import strings as documents.

## ✅ Part 1 — Auth

1. **OAuth loopback flow** - `crates/core/src/atproto/auth.rs`
2. **Session persistence** - token + DPoP key storage in app data dir
3. **Tauri commands** - `src-tauri/src/commands/atproto.rs`
   - `atproto_login`, `atproto_logout`, `atproto_session_status`
4. **Frontend auth UI** - login sheet, session indicator, logout
   - User clicks `@` button in toolbar
   - If not logged in, show login sheet
   - If logged in, show session indicator (Dolly from `icons.tsx`)
   - Logout button in session indicator or in the settings menu

## ✅ Part 2 — Pull

1. **Shared backend helpers** - `crates/core/src/atproto/strings.rs`
   - `string_list`, `string_get`
2. **Tauri commands** - `src-tauri/src/commands/strings.rs`
   - `string_list`, `string_get`
3. **Import UI** - "Import from Tangled" sheet with handle input, string browser, preview, import to location
   - Fluent Icons (`i-fluent-document-*-16-filled`)
   - Extensions covered: `py`, `md`, `js`, `ts`, `yaml`, `java`, `sass`, `css`, `csv`, `fs`, `cs`

## Part 3 — Push

1. **Shared backend helpers** - `crates/core/src/atproto/strings.rs`
