For Nathanael and his coding agent. Production asks clarifying questions before deep research
and streams research updates while it works; the console prototype drew neither. Both are now in
components.css. Each specimen below is the markup to build, so read this page’s
source. The rules are in AGENTS.md, the console’s behaviour in
CONSOLE.md (section 8, H1.19 to H1.21), and the CSS wins over both.
The accent was on nine things in two views, where a view gets three or four, and only on things you act on. Corners were rounded past 4px. The serif was set on every line, where a card gets one serif line.
Face and edge for the card, 4px corners from --r-*. One serif line, the question. The options sit in a tray. The updates are written in ink, folded under one mono line. The only accent left is the tint button that moves you on.
CSS and markup only: the data and the behaviour production already has. One wording change: the duplicate “Something else (please specify)” option is dropped, since “Write my own answer” does the same job.
.clarifyBuilt the way the session reflection is built: a raised object in the thread (face, edge, 4px). The count is a neutral mono eyebrow, because it names a place, not a state. Where you are is the 2px ink line and the steps to come are hairlines. The question is the one serif line. The options are a choice among options, so they sit in a tray, and the chosen one rises out of it as a face tile with an ink dot. Next is the tint; Skip and Back are quiet.
The library has eleven papers on accusation violence and two on Ghana’s camps directly, and none of EIRENE’s indicators are tagged to this construct yet. Two questions will point the research.
.act in the head. On the last question Next reads Start research..msg.user.Questions skipped. Peace Intel will make reasonable assumptions and say what they were.
.ruProduction boxed each update in the warm tone with an orange rule, under a toggle with an orange edge: four accents and three warm surfaces in one answer, where warm has three uses and this is none of them. The updates are the console’s working state (Pl. 13), so they are written in ink. While the research runs, the newest update is the pending answer’s own text and the earlier ones fold above it under one faint mono line, the twin of 25 tools used. When the answer lands, all of them fold into that line at the head of the answer.
Searching the library and recent peacebuilding studies for validated survey items on support for political violence, particularly ones tested across partisan groups.
Working through several academic papers to pull out the survey questions and wording that have shown movement in evaluations.

--t-sm.The active state of production’s input field does not match the design that was handed off. Build it from the CSS, not from what production draws now.
No shadow at rest. While you type in it, its edge darkens to --ink-35 and it lifts to --elev-3 (.composer:focus-within). The textarea inside draws nothing of its own: no ring, no border, no padding, no shadow. The composer is the box.
Focused, a text field’s edge darkens to --ink-35 and it takes --elev-1, with no outline (.input:focus). That covers the “Write my own answer” field above, the reflection’s field and the dialogs.
An accent ring or an accent edge on a field. The accent’s focus ring (:focus-visible) is for buttons and other controls reached by keyboard, not for a field you are typing in.
Click into the composer in console.html, and compare with media/snapshots/console/desk-chat.jpg.
