 - **States.** Idle turns at its form's own pace and breathes. Working and thinking move with their cue, the ribbon around working and three dots above thinking, waiting holds, blocked makes one interrupted effort and stops, and done celebrates once and settles back into idle. A surface that only knows a machine checked in draws idle. No state draws a circle around the orb, and a label names the state wherever the exact state matters.
 - **Status and ambient.** An orb that stands for an Agent shows its real state. An orb in decorative artwork, such as a sign-in picture, takes ambient motion: its form moves at its own pace with no state pose or cue, and it claims no activity.
 - **Reduced motion.** Movement stops; a thinking or working orb breathes between full ink and 0.45 opacity so busy still reads as busy, and an ambient orb holds still.
-- **In a conversation.** Her states are the conversation's own: the orb in its header follows them, and every mark of her activity in the thread is her own orb in her real state, never another Agent's figure, a spinner, a ticker or a pulse. Her steps and tool calls hold still and say in words what they do or did, with a tool's kind as a decorative icon beside the words and no state of its own; a system wait inside the thread is the waiting line ("System activity"), the outcome of a step or a request is the `StatusBadge`, and a failed turn is the `MessageNotice`.

+- **In a conversation.** Her states are the conversation's own: the orb in its header follows them, and every mark of her activity in the thread is her own orb in her real state, never another Agent's figure, a spinner, a ticker or a pulse. Her steps and tool calls hold still and say in words what they do or did, with a tool's kind as a decorative icon beside the words and no state of its own; the outcome of a step or a request is the `StatusBadge`, and a failed turn is the `MessageNotice`. A conversation has two actors, her and the person, and every wait in it belongs to one of them. Everything she does, including what follows the person's approval or answer, is her orb in its state: working once Run is pressed, thinking once a question is answered, waiting while an approval or a question waits for the person, blocked when a turn fails, done once when she finishes. The person's own action in progress shows on what they made: a file fills as it uploads, the microphone shows it records. A pressed control keeps its place and changes only its word. The waiting line is for the window's own loading, outside the conversation. Ruled by the owner on 11 October 2026: the Agent's states are the chat's default states, not random icons; and on 13 October 2026: the person never meets "the app" in a conversation, only the Agent.

 - **Website.** The page grammar is "The website column": full-bleed sections on white, soft and black grounds, alternating, with product views on them. Its cards are outlined; its product views take their real heights.
 - **Portal.** A product shell on the workspace ground, built from the page compositions and the package components, with `globals.css` giving every elevated surface its tone.
 - **Nadia.** Nadia draws her own window through Hermes's `window.shell` area, inside Hermes's app, which owns Tailwind and its own surface layering. Nadia's theme paints Hermes's roles with the shared `semantic` roles and core radii, and imports `@nadicodeai/ui/components.css` with the design system's host stylesheet, so the package components render with the same recipes and glass. The window follows the operating system's material where the system composites it. Hermes answers reduced motion by cutting every transition and animation; Nadia's stylesheet gives her own parts, the package overlays, the entry screen and the waiting line, the reduced-motion policy in "Motion" back.
-  Her conversation is one centred column of `56rem` holding her replies, the person's messages and the chat bar: her reply is plain text across the column, only the person's message is a bubble, on the `raised` step at the column's trailing edge, and the chat bar floats over the messages as the lightest step, in glass. The selected Agent row carries the sidebar's selected fill, as the Agents list draws it.
+  Her conversation is one centred column of `56rem` holding her replies, the person's messages and the chat bar: her reply is plain text across the column, only the person's message is a bubble, grey (`{colors.canvas-soft-2}`) at the `raised` height in both modes, at the column's trailing edge, and the chat bar floats over the messages as the lightest step, in glass. The selected Agent row carries the sidebar's selected fill, as the Agents list draws it.
 - **Alveare.** The desktop keeps Buzz's components and layout, styled through an adapter as Nadia styles Hermes: Buzz's colour roles read the shared `semantic` roles, every text takes a type role, and Buzz's shared components take the package's geometry, states, focus and motion, over the design system's host stylesheet and `@nadicodeai/ui/components.css`.
