UX second pass — batched council review

A running parking lot of small UX / interaction decisions deferred for a batched /council review, rather than gating each one the moment it surfaces. Append quirks here as they come up; resolve them together in one pass, record the resolution into the contract (docs/architecture/09+10 and the relevant docs/spec/), then delete the row.

Open

(empty — the 2026-06-13 batch resolved all eleven open items; resolutions live in spec §01B/§02/§03D, arch 09 §5 (header worked example), and arch 10 §5 (toggle-strip pressed cue, SelectControl action row + trigger cap, no-affordance-for-unbuilt-features).)

Deferred (not design debts, revisit on demand)

  • Drag-and-drop field assignment — chips are click/keyboard-first by design; drag would be a progressive enhancement on top of the chooser model, not a replacement. Revisit if real usage asks for it (likely alongside Phase 4 faceting, where drag-to-shelf reads most naturally).

  • Theme Builder config editor stays a plain textarea (decided 2026-06-13) — a second Monaco mount is heavy inside a modal for an occasional surface; the parse error is the feedback channel that matters. Revisit only if real usage asks for config completions. The gallery's per-card captions stand as the canvas charts' text alternative.
