Draft kept for reference only; not intended to merge as is.

This branch was built on 750ce07, the head of #85, which is behind current main. It targets that branch so the diff shows only this change. It conflicts with main, including the mobile redesign in #118 and the Version Management changes in #117. Rebase it before reusing any of it.

What it tries

The interface follows macOS Sequoia, not Liquid Glass, so it stops looking like a generic Tailwind/shadcn app.

• Palette: Apple system colours replace the Tailwind defaults: #007AFF / #0A84FF, systemGreen, systemRed and so on. Neutrals are cool greys, fills are translucent, and dark mode uses Apple's neutral greys. Note group colours and the review's before/after tints switch to system colours too.
• Type: SF at 13px for body text and 11px for secondary text. UI chrome uses no serif and no semibold; PingFang's heavy weights become Medium.
• Borders: separators are 0.5px hairlines. Cards and panels lose their outlines and are separated by fills or lifted by shadows.
• Controls:
  • push buttons and pop-up buttons with the up/down chevron
  • text-field wells
  • grey-track segmented controls, including Accept all / Reject all as one momentary segmented control
  • small switches
  • a ticked slider instead of the gradient effort slider
  • menus with a blur material and an accent-filled highlight
• Layout:
  • the sidebar follows Finder
  • Settings follows System Settings: colour squircle icons, faint grouped rows, an 860px window
  • My notes and task notes read as plain grouped rows
• Toolbar: monochrome glyphs grouped by spacing. Compile is a plain glyph, and only a failure or a running build is coloured.
• Icons: all icons are redrawn in an SF Symbols style. They are our own drawings, because SF Symbols may not ship on web, Windows or Linux. Selected tools tint their glyph.
• Desktop: on macOS the sidebar uses vibrancy: 'sidebar', and the window material follows the app's light, dark or system setting.
• Removed: the task review's separate Full PDF link. The PDF / Changes switch already shows the full PDF.

Checks

On this base, npm run typecheck, npm test, the engine tests, npm run test:playground and every test:ui check pass. Checks that pinned old colour values now assert the new ones.
