 ## What it does
 
 - Opens a two-pane browser workspace: **Editor** (left) + **Response/Working/Editor Preview** (right)
 - Supports one canonical full Studio view per Pi session, plus additional editor-only companion views when you want extra editing/preview surfaces; editor-only views can also browse files and use the Studio REPL send controls without taking over the full Studio session view
 - Includes a global **Zen** mode for hiding secondary Studio chrome without changing the current left/right pane layout
 - Runs editor text directly, asks for structured critique (auto/writing/code focus), offers a manual **Suggest completion** action for short cursor-aware continuations (`Option/Alt+Tab` where available or `Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Space` from the editor, `Tab` to insert a visible suggestion) with an optional editor-plus-latest-response context mode, or opens **Quiz me** for a Studio-native active-recall loop over the current editor text, selection, current file, folder, or repo, with optional focus guidance for shaping question selection
-- Includes a live **Working** view for following current model/tool activity, with `All` / `Thinking` / `Tools` filters, image previews for image-producing tool outputs, plus **Load visible into editor** and **Copy visible** actions; when cycling response history, Working follows saved working details for the selected response when available, and `Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+P` / `Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+E` / `Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+W` switch directly between Response Preview, Editor Preview, and Working

 - Includes a right-pane **Changes** view for browsing the current git diff by file, previewing per-file diffs, opening changed files, loading the full diff into the editor, and copying the diff
-- Includes a right-pane **Files** view for browsing the current Pi session/resource directory, opening folders, opening the Files root in Finder/the system file manager, loading text/code/CSV/TSV documents into the editor, previewing PDFs/images, opening PDF/image previews in a new Studio tab, converting DOCX/ODT documents to editable Markdown when Pandoc is available after confirmation, copying paths, setting the current folder as the Studio working directory, and revealing files in the file manager
+- Includes a right-pane **Files** view for browsing the current Pi session/resource directory, sorting by name/modified time/size, opening folders, opening the Files root in Finder/the system file manager, loading text/code/CSV/TSV documents into the editor, previewing PDFs/images, opening PDF/image previews in a new Studio tab, converting DOCX/ODT documents to editable Markdown when Pandoc is available after confirmation, copying paths, setting the current folder as the Studio working directory, and revealing files in the file manager
 - Includes an optional tmux-backed **REPL** view for Shell, Python, IPython, Julia, R, GHCi, and Clojure sessions, with Raw/Literate send modes, `Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Enter` **Send to REPL**, session start/stop/interrupt controls, a compact refresh-persistent **Studio REPL Record** of user and Pi-sent code, a secondary raw tmux mirror, agent-facing `studio_repl_status` / `studio_repl_send` tools, and Markdown/PDF/HTML export
 - Includes a local persistent scratchpad for quick notes you want to keep out of the main editor until you're ready to copy or insert them, with a **Recent…** picker for recovering scratchpads saved under earlier file/draft identities
 - Includes a docked **Outline** rail for navigating document structure in the current editor text, with clickable entries that jump in the raw editor and reveal matching preview locations when available

+# Gradient descent on a non-convex surface
+
+This is a compact **pi Studio** demo mixing prose, display math, generated figures, Python code, and inline annotations.
+
+## 1. The objective
+
+Consider the function
+
+$$
+f(x,y) = 0.35x^2 + 1.2y^2 + 0.8\sin(1.5x)\cos(2y).
+$$
+
+It is smooth, but not purely quadratic, so the sinusoidal term creates local ripples [an: define formally] in the loss landscape.
+
+The gradient is
+
+$$
+\nabla f(x,y) =
+\begin{pmatrix}
+0.7x + 1.2\cos(1.5x)\cos(2y) \\
+2.4y - 1.6\sin(1.5x)\sin(2y)
+\end{pmatrix}.
+$$
+
+Starting from an initial point $p_0 = (x_0, y_0)$, gradient descent updates via
+
+$$
+p_{k+1} = p_k - \eta \, \nabla f(p_k),
+$$
+
+where $\eta > 0$ is the learning rate.
+
+## 2. Optimization path in parameter space
+
+The contour plot below shows the objective landscape together with the iterates of gradient descent. [an: did you actually run?]
+
+![Gradient descent contour plot](generated/gradient_descent_contour.png){ width=420px }
+
+The red path shows how the algorithm follows the local slope downhill. Because the surface is non-convex, the geometry is more interesting than a simple bowl-shaped quadratic.
+
+## 3. Objective value by iteration
+
+The next figure shows the scalar objective value $f(x_k,y_k)$ as the method runs.
+
+![Gradient descent convergence plot](generated/gradient_descent_convergence.png){ width=400px }
+
+A simple first-order method can still make steady progress when the step size is chosen reasonably.
+
+## 4. Minimal Python snippet
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+
+def f(x, y):
+    return 0.35 * x**2 + 1.2 * y**2 + 0.8 * np.sin(1.5 * x) * np.cos(2.0 * y)
+
+def grad(x, y):
+    dfdx = 0.7 * x + 1.2 * np.cos(1.5 * x) * np.cos(2.0 * y)
+    dfdy = 2.4 * y - 1.6 * np.sin(1.5 * x) * np.sin(2.0 * y)
+    return np.array([dfdx, dfdy])
+
+p = np.array([-3.4, 2.8], dtype=float)
+eta = 0.14
+for _ in range(30):
+    p = p - eta * grad(*p)
+```
+
+## 5. Why this works well as a Studio demo
+
+- the math is recognizable but not too heavy
+- the figures are visually appealing
+- the code is short and readable
+- the preview shows equations, prose, code, images, annotations, and outline navigation together in one place
