Comprehensive perfectionist review of native UI design vision

[Copilot]

Conducted detailed technical review of the native UI design documentation per @tomitheninja's request. Identified critical gaps preventing implementation.

Critical Issues (Blockers)

• Missing design tokens file — tokens-and-visuals.md referenced but doesn't exist. No typography scale, spacing system, icon standards, or animation timing defined.
• 60% of navigation unspecified — Home, Search, and Manage tabs (3 of 5) have zero design specs.
• Broken documentation references — shell-architecture.md and patterns.md referenced but don't exist. Actual file is shell-navigation.md.
• Card component contradiction — Vision says "kill the card metaphor" yet card.tsx exists and style.css defines card colors matching background.

High Priority Gaps

• Shadow hierarchy undefined — 7 shadow levels (2xs → 2xl) defined but no usage rules. Which elements get which shadows?
• Accessibility underspecified — ARIA patterns, keyboard navigation, focus management, screen reader behavior mentioned but not documented.
• Mobile gestures missing — Design emphasizes "gesture-based" but no specs for swipe thresholds, long-press duration, or conflict resolution.

Medium Priority Ambiguities

• Optimistic updates pattern incomplete — Mentioned in 5 files but no consistent error handling, timeout thresholds, or rollback UX defined.
• Virtualization vague — "Lists > 50" trigger defined but no library choice, item height strategy, or scroll restoration behavior.
• Responsive strategy absent — "Mobile-first" claimed but no breakpoints, safe-area inset handling, or desktop adaptations defined.
• Typography scale missing — Letter-spacing variables exist but zero font-size, line-height, or weight standards in style.css.

Low Priority Issues

• Frontmatter word counts inaccurate (claims 1500, actual ~850)
• vision.md vs design-vision.md redundancy
• Empty states and network error handling not addressed

Scoring

Dimension	Score	Blocker
Completeness	4/10	Core screens missing
Consistency	5/10	References broken
Implementability	3/10	Too vague
Accessibility	3/10	Standards absent

Overall: 3.8/10 — Vision established but missing implementation foundation.

Required Actions

1. Create complete design tokens file with typography/spacing/timing
2. Specify Home, Search, Manage screen designs
3. Document reusable interaction patterns with technical details
4. Resolve card component contradiction (keep or remove)
5. Define shadow usage rules per component type
6. Establish keyboard nav and ARIA standards
7. Define responsive breakpoints and safe-area handling
8. Add typography scale to style.css
9. Standardize optimistic update error patterns
10. Merge duplicate vision files
