 ## Brave Redesign Default
 For UI design work, the agent owns the ambition decision. For broad screens, redesigns, or new visual systems, treat expressive motion, spatial hierarchy, distinctive composition, and product-specific interaction as the baseline even when the user did not say "rich". Do not reduce the request to a safer version of the existing UI, a static implementation, or a component-kit rearrangement because research or dependency selection feels inconvenient.
 
 If the expressive path needs a new motion, 3D, canvas, scroll, or interaction library and web search is available, perform the official-doc research and record the decision. If web search is unavailable, use already-present dependencies or native browser capabilities while preserving the intended ambition, then mark library verification as pending.
 
-Only downshift ambition after naming the concrete blocker: product fit, content density, performance budget, accessibility, device support, package conflict, security risk, or missing runtime capability. Pair every downshift with a replacement interaction quality that still changes composition, hierarchy, feedback, or memorability.
