First dogfood of the v2 UI (v0.3.5/v0.3.6) surfaced that the .249 instance (cairn-enc) runs with none of the sidebar-backing features enabled — the UI correctly hides them since v0.3.6, but that means the flagship views aren't exercised in daily use.

To light them up, the cairn-enc-config secret (manual, not in git) needs:

auth.perUserHomes: true → Personal becomes /home/<user>, Spaces appears for OIDC group membership (/spaces/<group>; needs the groups claim mapped in the Keycloak client)
shares config → Shares view + Share/Copy-link row actions
storage.trash.enabled: true → Deleted files view. ⚠ this instance is S3 (Garage): trash moves are copy-heavy on directory trees (#23 decision record) — acceptable at dogfood scale, but worth watching

Layout note: flipping perUserHomes on an existing flat bucket changes the virtual layout — current root files (e.g. sovereignty-check.txt) stay at backend root, visible to admins only. Content may want a one-time move into /home/<user>/.

Nothing here is code; tracking so the dogfood eventually exercises the full v2 surface.

Done 2026-07-30: Nikola flipped auth.perUserHomes, shares.enabled, and storage.trash.enabled in the cairn-enc-config secret; confirmed live in the startup log (shares=true) and carried through the v0.3.14–v0.3.16 rollouts.

Notes from the flip:

nikola-test is admin (cairn-admins) and therefore unscoped — to see the member view (private /home + /spaces/<group>), use a non-admin Keycloak user.
Trash on this S3 (Garage) instance: directory moves are copy-heavy, as flagged — fine at dogfood scale.
Since v0.3.16, a <space>-ro Keycloak group grants read-only space membership (#64) — worth exercising as part of the #59 demo walk-through, which this unblocks.
