# Implementation Plan: UI/UX Improvements - Presets and AI Settings

This plan focuses on enhancing the layout, scaling, and control ergonomics of the Preset windows and AI Settings panel.

## Phase 1: Research and Layout Audit [checkpoint: db1f749]
- [x] Task: Audit `src/gui_2.py` and `src/app_controller.py` for current window resizing and scaling logic. db1f749
- [x] Task: Identify specific UI sections in `Personas`, `Prompts`, `Tools`, and `AI Settings` windows that require padding and width adjustments. db1f749
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Research and Layout Audit' (Protocol in workflow.md) db1f749

## Phase 2: Preset Windows Layout & Scaling [checkpoint: 84ec24e]
- [x] Task: Write tests to verify window layout stability and element visibility during simulated resizes. 84ec24e
- [x] Task: Implement improved resize/scale policies for `Personas`, `Prompts`, and `Tools` windows. 84ec24e
- [x] Task: Apply standardized padding and adjust input box widths across these windows. 84ec24e
- [x] Task: Implement dual-control (Slider + Input Box) for any applicable parameters in these windows. 84ec24e
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: Preset Windows Layout & Scaling' (Protocol in workflow.md) 84ec24e

## Phase 3: AI Settings Overhaul [checkpoint: 0990270]
- [x] Task: Write tests for AI Settings panel interactions and visual state consistency. 0990270
- [x] Task: Refactor AI Settings panel to use visual sliders/knobs for Temperature, Top-P, and Max Tokens. 0990270
- [x] Task: Integrate corresponding numeric input boxes for all AI setting sliders. 0990270
- [x] Task: Improve visual clarity of preferred model entries when collapsed. 0990270
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: AI Settings Overhaul' (Protocol in workflow.md) 0990270

## Phase 4: Tool Management (MCP) Refinement [checkpoint: f21f22e]
- [x] Task: Write tests for tool list rendering and category filtering. f21f22e
- [x] Task: Update the tools section to display tool names before radio buttons with consistent spacing. f21f22e
- [x] Task: Implement a category-based grouping/filtering system for tools (File I/O, Web, System, etc.). f21f22e
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 4: Tool Management (MCP) Refinement' (Protocol in workflow.md) f21f22e

## Phase 5: Final Integration and Verification [checkpoint: e0d441c]
- [x] Task: Perform a comprehensive UI audit across all modified windows to ensure visual consistency. e0d441c
- [x] Task: Run all automated tests and verify no regressions in GUI performance or functionality. e0d441c
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 5: Final Integration and Verification' (Protocol in workflow.md) e0d441c
