# den-gateway — Cloud workspace overlay

1. I'm working in OpenWork in my browser. In the corner there's a quiet pill: "Cloud · v0.18.8". That's my workspace — healthy, current, out of my way.

2. I click it. A small panel: Connected · v0.18.8 (latest) · Backups on, and Sign out. Nothing to configure; it's just the truth about my machine.

3. A teammate is on an older workspace. Their pill says "Update available". The panel shows v0.18.2 -> v0.18.8 and one button: "Update now — takes about 30 seconds. Your files and sessions come along."

4. They click it. The pill becomes "Updating your workspace…". The page never goes blank, never bounces them somewhere else.

5. Half a minute later: "Cloud · v0.18.8". Files exactly where they left them — same workspace, newer machine.

6. And when something's genuinely wrong, the pill turns amber: "Workspace needs attention" — with Retry and Sign out right there. No more silent redirect loops; the worst case is now a labeled state with an exit.
