+# UI Redesign — Design Handoff Implementation
+
+## Phase 1: Layout + Tokens + Header + Rail
+- [ ] Update CSS tokens (add --a-str, switch mono font to JetBrains Mono)
+- [ ] Fix grid dimensions (192px rail, 400px peek)
+- [ ] Move capture bar from header to bottom of center panel
+- [ ] Add search bar to header (centered, max-width 400px)
+- [ ] Redesign tag rail: grid layout (arrow ▸ + dot + name + count)
+- [ ] Add intent section (grab/read/fill) for cards view in rail
+
+## Phase 2: Stream + Cards Views
+- [ ] Stream rows: promoted entries get card-style border/radius + card-type badge
+- [ ] Card rows: rich single-line with title — preview — affordance badges — tag pills — pin — use count
+- [ ] Affordance detection client-side (fill, steps, decide, link, code)
+- [ ] Affordance badge components
+- [ ] Cards sub-header (scope label + card count + sort dropdown)
+- [ ] Section labels (★ pinned, recent)
+- [ ] Flash animation on copy
+- [ ] Bottom capture bar styling per view (different placeholders)
+
+## Phase 3: Peek Pane + Modes
+- [ ] Idle state with keyboard shortcuts display
+- [ ] Stream entry peek: eyebrow, body, tags, context, actions
+- [ ] Card peek: card container with eyebrow, title, desc, meta, content sections
+- [ ] Code block with syntax highlighting
+- [ ] Decision section display
+- [ ] Steps section display
+- [ ] Link section display
+- [ ] Run mode (interactive checklist with progress bar)
+- [ ] Fill mode (inline slot editor with tab navigation)
+- [ ] Edit mode (form fields)
+- [ ] Toast notifications
+
+## Phase 4: Polish
+- [ ] Promote modal enhancement (add hint text per type)
+- [ ] Remaining keyboard shortcuts (r=run, f=fill)
+- [ ] Scroll behavior and edge cases
