Current and recommended portrait frames
The diagrams are current schematics traced from the cited native captures, not screenshots. The proposed side is a contract for successors, not an implementation preview.
Apps, keyboard hidden
CURRENT (native evidence) RECOMMENDED CONTRACT
+--------------------------------+ +--------------------------------+
| Apps | Windows | Keyboard | Sys | 56px | Apps | Windows | Keyboard | Sys |
+--------------------------------+ +--------------------------------+
| Applications | | title + one state line |
| 7 installed · Page 1/4 | | clearly distinct hierarchy |
| | | |
| [ Terminal ] | | [ primary card, 56px+ target ] |
| [ Monitor ] | | [ title + short hint ] |
| [ New terminal ] | | [ visible focus/status ] |
| | | |
| [ Previous ] [ Back ] [ Next ] | | [ Previous ] [ Back ] [ Next ] |
+--------------------------------+ +--------------------------------+
Reference: Apps with keyboard (captured 2026-09-23) shows the current title/card/footer hierarchy; the shown keyboard changes the usable height rather than proving every target is physically reachable.
Overview / transient state

| persistent controls remain |

| Windows · 2 running · Page 1/1 |
| [ terminal title · normal ] |
| [ Monitor · focused ] |

| loading / empty / stale / fail |
| must name what happened and |
| expose Back or Apps/Home |

The current two-card composition is visible in overview.png. A future live-card surface follows the card proposals; it must not hide the persistent recovery route.
Reviewable SVG sheets
- Apps comparison ties the generic endpoint/card finding to UX-01 and UX-03.
- Keyboard-visible comparison ties the reserved lower viewport and recovery route to UX-04.
- Live-card overview comparison ties global recovery controls and normalized failure states to UX-02 and UX-05. Its right-hand panel is conceptual and awaits the card architecture decision.
