+- Paint the activation logo and its `🔥 LIT IGNITED · <discipline> 🔥` label with a bold truecolor gradient that runs from ignition orange through the HUD hot pink to electric cyan. The hook sets the colour depth itself because its output is always piped, so terminal detection cannot drop it to monochrome; `NO_COLOR` still prints plain text, and the reply line the model is asked to print stays free of escape codes.
+- Show a bold, ignition-orange `🔥 LIT IGNITED · <discipline> 🔥` mark in the HUD status line whenever the prompt hook activates a LitClaude discipline. The prompt hook records the selected discipline per session under `litclaude-hud/` in the per-user temp directory (`LITCLAUDE_HUD_STATE_ROOT` overrides it; the repository state root and home directory stay untouched), and the HUD reads that record back, so the mark reflects the hook's decision rather than model output. Turns without an activation clear the record and the mark disappears.
+- Ask model replies to start with `🔥 **LIT IGNITED · <discipline>** 🔥`, while hook messages and the HUD render the same activation mark without Markdown.
