Design Principles

  • Chat-first — conversation is primary, VRM is ambient
  • VRM behind toggle — hidden by default on mobile, can be enabled
  • Panels minimizable — never cascading or overlapping
  • Single-page unified UI — clean, not cluttered

Testing

  • Test via Tailscale on real iPhone
  • Check 44px touch target compliance
  • Verify safe-area-inset padding on notched devices
  • Test with VRM toggle on/off
