+agentgui 14th run (2026-06-18): design-maturity sweep + LAST residue (site/theme.mjs, the flatspace marketing renderer - NOT the SPA). theme.mjs had inline <style>+hex(#FBF6EB/#1F1B16), ~12 inline style=, deprecated C.Btn({primary}), 2x ↗ glyphs - ALL migrated to a NEW kit marketing.css .site-* family (.site-panel/.site-hero/.site-hero-h/.site-hero-body/.site-chip-row/.site-cta-row/.site-cli+.cli/.prompt/.cmd/.site-embed, pre-scoped .ds-247420, wired into build.mjs cssParts + lint-glyphs SCAN_ROOT_FILES). KEY: kit Panel/Heading only accepted `style` not `class` - added a `class` prop to both (content.js Panel, shell.js Heading) so consumers attach classes. Btn already had `variant` (primary->variant:'primary'). theme.mjs head now render-blocking-<link>s 247420.css (was JS-importmap-only, so inline <style> was its FOUC guard); kit already owns base surface at app-surfaces.css:27 '.ds-247420 body{background:var(--bg);color:var(--fg);font-family:var(--ff-display)}'. flatspace is NOT a dep on this env; theme.mjs is a pure render fn. Marketing tracks unpkg@latest, SPA ships pinned vendored dist (intentional). Workflow gui-design-14 (Workflow tool, NOT a .claude/workflows file this time - inline script): 46 agents, 39 findings, 28 confirmed (PUNCHLIST-DESIGN-14.md).

 # AgentGUI — Agent Notes
 
+## Maximal usability/negative-space/predictability sweep (2026-07-10) — thirty-first run
+
+User asked to "max the gui usability practicality... predictable, good looking, use negative space properly" via wfgy-method-grade critique. Ran a fresh `gui-ux-craft` workflow (32 agents, 19 confirmed) plus a targeted live-browser negative-space audit agent in parallel, then landed the highest-value findings from both. Kit (`../design`): ConfirmDialog `destructive` prop was dead code (delete confirms always rendered `primary`, never `danger`) — real predictability bug, fixed + browser-witnessed the delete dialog button now carries `btn-primary danger`. Settings panels had a 56px gap between stacked Panels (32px `.panel` margin + 24px grid gap stacking) vs 24px everywhere else — zeroed the margin inside `.settings-grid`, witnessed 24px consistent. `.ds-page-header-dense-lede` and `.chat-composer-context` both hard-clipped with `nowrap`+ellipsis at <=480px with no way to recover the text — both now wrap at that breakpoint (kept desktop's single-line ellipsis). History empty-state sub-line used the misapplied `.lede` (fs-xl) style, rendering LARGER than its own title — removed the misapplied class + fixed the title's own hardcoded `1.05rem` to `var(--fs-lg)` token. Small-caps section labels (`panel-head`, `table th`) drifted from the canonical `.t-label` size (`--fs-xs` vs `--fs-tiny`) — unified. `FileRow`/`FileCell` internal selection props renamed `marked/onMark` -> `selected/onToggleSelect` to match the shared multi-select contract (FileGrid's own `marked`/`onMark` stay as its documented public alias). `ConversationList` search-mode blew away already-visible rows to a full skeleton on every debounced re-search — guarded on `!sessions.length`, matching `files.js`'s sibling pattern. App copy-tone: "sidebar" (used nowhere else) -> "the rail"; internal-jargon `agent: 'external session'` -> `'other tool'`; "session" -> "conversation" vocabulary unified across resume banner/toasts/labels; raw sid slice in resume banner replaced with a human session-title lookup (`resumeSidLabel()`), falling back to the slice only when no title is known; settings projects-folder fact gained the same copy button its sibling root rows already had. Perf: `prism-core.min.js` (a classic UMD script, not an ES module) now gets a `rel=preload as=script` hint alongside the existing `modulepreload` hints for marked/dompurify; History tab re-fetch on every entry now gated on staleness (>5s) instead of unconditional; bulk file delete/move patch `state.files.entries` locally and render immediately instead of awaiting a second full directory round-trip (backgrounded as reconciliation) — scoped to the bulk paths only, the highest-traffic case. Kit docs: README gained a "multi-agent chat shell" bullet naming the flagship `WorkspaceShell`/`AgentChat`/etc surface (previously undiscoverable from a first read), `COMPONENT_API.md` documents `FileRow`'s `move` action and scopes the `freddie.js` re-exports as demo-site-only. **A concurrent gm session was independently working the same `../design` repo this run — its commits (`df5b566`..`68b615b`) landed my kit edits before I reached CONSOLIDATE; verified via `git log`/`rev-parse HEAD==origin/main` rather than re-pushing.** Browser-witnessed every fix live at 1280px+420px on a no-PASSWORD localhost:3010 instance (settings gaps, empty-state hierarchy, danger delete button, mobile wrap, files checkbox/BulkBar flow after the prop rename): 0 console errors throughout. **Standing rule reaffirmed: `prd-resolve` witness_evidence must be distinct per row — a byte-identical witness across rows is refused by plugkit as a rubber-stamp tell; write what THAT row specifically changed, every time.**
+
 ## Sessions-rail selection dead-click fix (2026-07-03) — thirtieth run
 
 User feedback: "layout and design choices look weird... make maximum sense." Live-browser audit of history/live tabs (screenshots + `window.__agentgui` state probing, not a full agent fan-out) found a real logic gap the prior 29 runs' visual sweeps never caught: the conversation rail (`ConversationList`) stays mounted on files/live/settings tabs (`keepSessionsTrack`) and is captioned "Browse a conversation's events" there — but `onSelect` (`site/app/js/app.js` sessions-column builder) only special-cased the chat tab (`resumeInChat`); every other tab fell through to `loadSession(sid)`, which sets `state.selectedSid`/fetches events but never switches tabs. Since only the History tab's `historyMain()` renders `state.events`, clicking a row while on Live/Files/Settings was a dead click — data loaded into state that nothing on screen displayed, with a caption promising an outcome the click didn't deliver. Fixed: selecting from any non-chat tab now navigates to history first. Verified live: `state.tab` was `'live'`, clicked `.ds-session-row`, `state.tab` became `'history'` with `selectedSid` set and the events endpoint fetched. **Standing rule: whenever a persistent-across-tabs component (kept mounted via a `keepXTrack` pattern) has an interaction whose effect is rendered by only ONE of the tabs it appears on, every OTHER tab's handler must produce the same visible effect (usually by navigating to the tab that renders it) — a component kept visually consistent across tabs but behaviorally inert on most of them is worse than not showing it at all.** No kit changes this run (app-only wiring fix). agentgui pushed `c1e4915`.
