The FreeCAD start page shows only local recent files and built-in examples. It should integrate with silo when connected.

Proposed sections

Connection status badge (top area, near "New File" buttons)

  • Connected to silo.kindred.internal (green) / Disconnected (gray)
  • Shows server mode if not normal

"My Checkouts" section (above or replacing "Recent Files")

  • Items the user has checked out locally (tracked via SiloPartNumber property on FreeCAD objects)
  • Sync status: synced, local changes, conflict
  • Click to open the local file

"Recent Silo Activity" section

  • Fetch from GET /api/items?sort=updated_at&limit=10 (existing endpoint)
  • Display: part number, description, last modified date
  • Thumbnail if available via GET /api/items/{partNumber}/file or placeholder by item_type
  • Click triggers Silo_Checkout
  • Badge on items already present locally

"Local Recent Files" section (preserved)

  • Existing local recent files below silo sections
  • Serves as primary content when disconnected
