# Implementation Plan: GUI Layout Audit and UX Refinement

## Phase 1: Audit and Structural Design [checkpoint: 6a35da1]
Perform a thorough review of the current GUI and define the target layout.

- [x] Task: Audit current GUI panels (AI Settings, Context, Diagnostics, History) and document placement issues. d177c0b
- [x] Task: Propose a reorganized layout structure that prioritizes dockable/floatable window flexibility. 8448c71
- [x] Task: Review proposal with user and finalize the structural plan. 8448c71
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Audit and Structural Design' (Protocol in workflow.md) 6a35da1

## Phase 2: Layout Reorganization [checkpoint: 97367fe]
Implement the structural changes to panel placements and window behaviors.

- [x] Task: Refactor `gui.py` panel definitions to align with the new structural plan. c341de5
- [x] Task: Optimize Dear PyGui window configuration for better multi-viewport handling. f8fb58d
- [x] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: Layout Reorganization' (Protocol in workflow.md) 97367fe

## Phase 3: Visual and Tactile Enhancements
Implement Arcade FX and increase information density.

- [ ] Task: Enhance Arcade FX (blinking, animations) for AI state changes and tool execution.
    - [ ] Write Tests (Simulate state changes)
    - [ ] Implement FX logic in `gui.py`
- [ ] Task: Increase tactile density in diagnostic and context tables.
    - [ ] Write Tests (Check widget count/spacing in specific panels)
    - [ ] Implement density improvements
- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: Visual and Tactile Enhancements' (Protocol in workflow.md)

## Phase 4: Iterative Refinement and Final Audit
Fine-tune the UI based on live usage and verify against product guidelines.

- [ ] Task: Perform a "live" walkthrough to identify friction points in the new layout.
- [ ] Task: Final polish of widget spacing, colors, and tactile feedback.
- [ ] Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 4: Iterative Refinement and Final Audit' (Protocol in workflow.md)
