+# Mana Loop — UI Redesign Task
+
+You are a senior Next.js/React developer and UI/UX designer working on the
+Mana Loop game at `/home/user/repos/Mana-Loop`.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 — Orient yourself
+
+Before touching any file:
+
+1. Read `docs/AGENTS.md` for the architecture overview and coding conventions.
+2. Run `bun run lint` and note any pre-existing errors (do not fix them now).
+3. Browse `src/components/game/` to map every component to its tab/panel.
+4. Read `src/app/globals.css` and every file in `src/components/ui/` to
+   understand the current design token set (Tailwind config, CSS variables,
+   shadcn theme).
+5. Read `docs/GAME_BRIEFING.md` and `docs/skills.md` so you understand the
+   game's thematic world before making visual decisions.
+
+Document your findings in `docs/task4/orient.md` before proceeding.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 — Design System First
+
+**Before touching any component**, establish a unified design system.
+All subsequent work MUST reference this system — no component should
+introduce ad-hoc colors, spacing, or typography.
+
+Create `docs/task4/design_system.md` containing every decision below.
+
+### 2a. Visual Identity
+
+The game is about **ancient arcane magic**, a mysterious **100-floor spire**,
+mana weaving, and time loops. The visual language must reflect this world.
+
+**Target aesthetic:** Dark arcane grimoire — not generic "dark mode SaaS".
+Think illuminated manuscript meets crystalline magic UI.
+Reference aesthetics: Path of Exile passive tree, Slay the Spire card UI,
+Hades menu screens. Do NOT produce generic purple-gradient-on-charcoal.
+
+**Guiding principles:**
+- Every UI region should feel like it belongs in the world (mana pools should
+  feel liquid, spire floors should feel dangerous, research should feel
+  scholarly).
+- Restraint over decoration: one strong texture/treatment per region, not
+  everywhere at once.
+- The UI must stay fast and readable — this is an idle game the player watches
+  for minutes at a time. No motion sickness-inducing animations.
+
+### 2b. Color Tokens
+
+Define a strict set of CSS custom properties in `src/app/globals.css`.
+Every shade must have a semantic name — never use raw hex in components.
+
+Required token groups (design the specific values yourself):
+
+```
+/* Backgrounds — at least 3 depth levels */
+--bg-base        /* outermost / page */
+--bg-surface     /* panels, cards */
+--bg-elevated    /* dropdowns, tooltips, modals */
+--bg-sunken      /* inset wells, progress track */
+
+/* Borders */
+--border-subtle  /* barely-there separators */
+--border-default /* standard card edges */
+--border-focus   /* interactive focus rings */
+
+/* Text */
+--text-primary
+--text-secondary
+--text-muted
+--text-disabled
+
+/* Mana element colors — one per mana type */
+/* Must feel elemental, not random. Examples: */
+--mana-fire     /* ember orange-red */
+--mana-water    /* deep teal */
+--mana-air      /* silver-white */
+--mana-earth    /* warm ochre */
+--mana-light    /* gold */
+--mana-dark     /* deep indigo */
+--mana-death    /* muted violet-grey */
+--mana-transfer /* cyan — the "tech mana" */
+--mana-metal    /* cool steel */
+--mana-sand     /* warm tan */
+--mana-lightning/* electric yellow */
+--mana-crystal  /* pale ice blue */
+--mana-stellar  /* bright amber */
+--mana-void     /* deep black-purple */
+
+/* Semantic UI colors */
+--color-success
+--color-warning
+--color-danger
+--color-info
+
+/* Interactive */
+--interactive-primary        /* main CTA — Gather, Study, Climb */
+--interactive-primary-hover
+--interactive-secondary
+--interactive-secondary-hover
+--interactive-danger
+--interactive-danger-hover
+--interactive-disabled
+```
+
+All mana element colors defined here must be used consistently everywhere
+that element appears (mana bars, skill icons, spell tags, floor element
+badges, etc.).
+
+### 2c. Typography
+
+Define a clear typographic scale. Use a single font stack.
+Suggested: a fantasy-adjacent serif for headings
+(`Cinzel`, `IM Fell English`, or system `Georgia` as fallback) paired with a
+clean sans-serif for body/numbers. Both must be legible at small sizes on
+mobile.
+
+Required classes/variables:
+```
+--font-heading   /* section headers */
+--font-body      /* all body copy */
+--font-mono      /* numbers, values, timers */
+```
+
+Type scale: xs / sm / base / lg / xl / 2xl / 3xl
+Define line-height and letter-spacing for headings.
+
+### 2d. Spacing & Layout
+
+- Base unit: 4px (Tailwind default — use `space-*` tokens, no magic numbers).
+- Card border radius: define one value and use it everywhere (`--radius`).
+- Panel inner padding: consistent across all tabs.
+- Never mix `px-3` and `px-4` in the same panel row.
+
+### 2e. Component Primitives
+
+Design (and implement) these shared primitives in `src/components/ui/` before
+touching any game component. Each primitive must accept className overrides.
+
+| Primitive | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|
+| `<GameCard>` | All panel/section wrappers. Accepts `variant`: default, elevated, sunken, danger |
+| `<SectionHeader>` | Consistent section titles with optional right-side action slot |
+| `<StatRow>` | Label + value pair. Accepts `highlight` for colored values |
+| `<ManaBar>` | Progress bar skinned per mana type using `--mana-*` tokens |
+| `<ElementBadge>` | Pill badge for mana/element type with matching icon + color |
+| `<ValueDisplay>` | Animated numeric display for mana, DPS, etc. |
+| `<ActionButton>` | Primary game CTA. Variants: primary, secondary, danger, ghost |
+| `<SkillRow>` | Standard skill entry row (name, description, cost, study button, level dots) |
+| `<TooltipInfo>` | Consistent tooltip triggered by `?` icon |
+
+### 2f. Animation Budget
+
+| Category | Rule |
+|----------|------|
+| Mana bar fill | CSS transition, 300ms ease-out. No spring physics. |
+| Progress bars (study/cast) | CSS transition, linear, match game tick rate |
+| Tab switch | Instant or 150ms fade-in only. No slide/bounce. |
+| Hover states | 100ms ease |
+| Number changes | Use CSS `tabular-nums`. No odometer effects. |
+| Idle sparkle / glow | One subtle glow pulse on the Gather button ONLY. Nowhere else. |
+| Spire combat | Cast bar animates smoothly with `requestAnimationFrame` or CSS only |
+
+No `framer-motion` animations for layout shifts. Framer Motion is available
+but should be used sparingly and only for intentional moments (e.g., floor
+cleared notification).
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 — Remove All Dev Artifacts
+
+The current UI has component name labels rendered in production
+(`ManaDisplay`, `SpireModeUI`, `ActionButtons`, `SkillsTab`, etc.).
+These must be completely removed from all rendered output before redesign
+begins.
+
+Search for and remove:
+- Any component that renders its own name as a visible label
+- The debug component name display toggle (or gate it strictly behind
+  `process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'`)
+- Any `[data-component]` labels visible to users
+
+---
+
+## Step 4 — Sub-task Breakdown
+
+Break the work into sub-tasks. Before writing any code, create:
+- `docs/task4/subtask_N.md` per sub-task (scope, acceptance criteria,
+  dependencies)
+- `docs/task4/subtask_N_progress.md` (update as you go)
+- `docs/task4/todo.md` (overall tracker)
+
+The sub-tasks must follow this order of operations. Sub-tasks marked
+**parallel** may run simultaneously if they touch non-overlapping files.
+
+### Sub-task 1 — Design System Implementation (MUST COMPLETE FIRST)
+**Sequential — all others depend on this.**
+
+- Implement all CSS custom properties in `globals.css`.
+- Implement all component primitives in `src/components/ui/`.
+- Verify primitives render correctly with a temporary test page or Storybook
+  (if available); otherwise visually verify by inserting them into one tab.
+- Remove dev labels (Step 3 above).
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+- All `--bg-*`, `--border-*`, `--text-*`, `--mana-*`, `--color-*`,
+  `--interactive-*` tokens defined and working.
+- All 9 primitives implemented and exported.
+- Zero component name labels visible in UI.
+
+---
+
+### Sub-task 2 — Global Layout & Header [parallel after Sub-task 1]
+
+**Files:** `src/app/page.tsx`, `src/app/layout.tsx`, Header component.
+
+Changes required:
+- **Remove the pause button** from the header. (Bug fix #5 from task3 — verify
+  it has been done; if not, do it here.)
+- Header must contain: game title/logo, Day + time display, Insight counter.
+- On mobile (< 640px): header collapses to a compact single row. Day, time,
+  and insight stack or abbreviate gracefully.
+- Tab bar redesign:
+  - Group tabs into logical sections with subtle visual separators:
+    - **World**: Spire, Attune
+    - **Power**: Skills, Spells, Golems
+    - **Gear**: Gear, Craft, Loot
+    - **Meta**: Achieve, Lab, Stats, Grimoire, Debug
+  - On mobile: tab bar becomes a horizontally scrollable strip with icon-only
+    buttons (icons + tooltip on long-press).
+  - Active tab uses a distinct indicator (not just background color change —
+    use the `--interactive-primary` underline or glow).
+  - Tabs should never wrap to two rows on desktop.
+- The two-row tab layout (main row + second row for Debug/Grimoire) is
+  acceptable if necessary, but style them as a cohesive set, not as an
+  afterthought.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+- Header renders correctly at 375px, 768px, 1280px viewport widths.
+- No pause button visible.
+- Tab groups visually distinguishable.
+- Active tab clearly indicated.
+
+---
+
+### Sub-task 3 — Left Panel: Mana Display & Action Area [parallel after ST1]
+
+**Files:** `src/components/game/ManaDisplay.tsx`,
+`src/components/game/ActionButtons.tsx`,
+`src/components/game/CalendarDisplay.tsx`,
+and any related sidebar wrapper.
+
+The left panel is the player's heartbeat — they watch it constantly.
+It must be calm, clear, and beautiful.
+
+Changes required:
+
+**Mana Display:**
+- Raw mana: large, readable current / max with regen rate below.
+- Use `<ManaBar>` primitive. Bar color uses `--mana-*` token (raw mana =
+  `--interactive-primary` or a neutral "arcane" color).
+- Regen rate label: show current effective regen/hr including meditation
+  multiplier. Format: `+4.1/hr (1.5× med)` — keep this, it's informative.
+- Elemental mana section: each unlocked element shows as a compact row
+  (`<ElementBadge>` + mini bar + value). Locked elements are hidden entirely
+  (not shown as greyed-out rows).
+- If only one element is unlocked (Transference early game), the section
+  occupies minimal vertical space.
+- Collapsible elemental section is fine if space is tight on mobile.
+
+**Gather Button:**
+- This is the primary action — make it visually dominant and satisfying.
+- Full width, well-padded. Uses `<ActionButton variant="primary">`.
+- The single subtle glow/pulse animation lives here.
+- On click: brief scale press (CSS `active:scale-95`, no JS needed).
+
+**Current Activity:**
+- Show the active action name and a compact progress bar if applicable.
+- Do not show a list of all possible actions — only what's happening now.
+- When studying: show skill name + time remaining.
+- When meditating: show meditation bonus multiplier and time spent.
+- When climbing: hide this panel entirely (SpireModeUI takes over).
+- Use `<GameCard variant="sunken">` to make it feel like a status readout.
+
+**Calendar:**
+- Day grid must be compact and legible. Current day is highlighted.
+- Days past: muted. Days future: subtle. Day 20+ (incursion): tinted with
+  `--color-danger` to signal urgency.
+- On mobile: show only current week row + day number badge, not full grid.
+
+**Climb the Spire button:**
+- Keep it prominent (orange/amber CTA as currently designed).
+- On mobile: ensure it doesn't overflow the panel.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+- Panel fits within its container at 375px without horizontal scroll.
+- Elemental mana section doesn't show locked elements.
+- Calendar incursion days visually distinguished.
+- Activity display updates reactively.
+
+---
+
+### Sub-task 4 — Skills Tab [parallel after ST1]
+
+**Files:** `src/components/game/tabs/SkillsTab.tsx` and related.
+
+The skills tab is the most visually complex tab. Currently it looks like a
+generic settings page. It must feel like a research journal.
+
+Changes required:
+
+**Category sections:**
+- Each category (Mana, Study, Research, Enchanting, etc.) is a collapsible
+  `<GameCard>` with a `<SectionHeader>` showing category name, icon, and skill
+  count badge.
+- Categories collapsed by default if the player has no skills in them yet.
+- Smooth collapse animation (height transition).
+
+**Skill rows (use `<SkillRow>` primitive):**
+- Layout: [Icon] [Name + tier badge] [short description] ... [level dots] [Study button]
+- Tier badge: small colored pill showing `T1`, `T2`, etc.
+- Level dots: current implementation is fine in concept but dots should use
+  mana-type-colored fills, not plain purple. Match the skill's associated
+  mana type.
+- Cost display: show mana cost with a `<ElementBadge>` for the mana type
+  required, not plain text.
+- Study time: keep as-is (`4.0h`) — it's clear.
+- Study button: uses `<ActionButton>`. Disabled state must look disabled
+  (not just grey text — lower opacity + `cursor-not-allowed`).
+- If a skill has prerequisites not yet met: show a lock icon with a small
+  tooltip explaining the requirement. Do not hide the skill entirely.
+
+**Milestone upgrade UI:**
+- When a milestone is available (level 5 or 10), the row gets a special
+  indicator (glowing border or "!" badge) so the player notices.
+- Clicking opens a focused upgrade choice modal — not an inline expansion.
+  Modal must show all choices clearly with their effects.
+
+**Tier-up UI:**
+- When a skill is at max level and tier-up is possible, the Study button
+  changes to "Tier Up" with a distinct visual (gold outline or similar).
+
+**Mobile:** 
+- Skills tab on mobile: category headers sticky. Level dots shrink. 
+  Study button full width below description.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+- All skill categories render correctly.
+- Level dots match mana type colors.
+- Disabled state is visually obvious.
+- Milestone indicator visible at levels 5 and 10.
+- Tier-up path clearly communicated.
+
+---
+
+### Sub-task 5 — Spire Tab & Spire Mode UI [parallel after ST1]
+
+**Files:** `src/components/game/tabs/SpireTab.tsx`,
+`src/components/game/SpireModeUI.tsx` (or equivalent).
+
+The spire is the heart of the game's drama. The UI must feel tense.
+
+**SpireTab (the overview/stats view — per task3 bug #3):**
+- This should now be a "Spire Stats" view, not a floor-by-floor list.
+- Show: highest floor reached, total pacts signed, total guardians defeated,
+  best run summary.
+- The `<ClimbSpireButton>` lives here (moved from left panel if task3 did
+  that — verify and adjust).
+- If task3 hasn't moved the climb button yet: leave it in the left panel and
+  note the discrepancy in your progress file.
+- Style the stats as a `<GameCard>` with `<StatRow>` rows.
+- Guardian pacts section: list signed pacts with their element badge and
+  multiplier value.
+
+**SpireModeUI (active combat view):**
+- Header: "Spire Mode" title + current floor number (large, bold) + floor
+  element badge.
+- Floor HP bar: uses `<ManaBar>` with the floor's element color. Shows
+  `current / max HP` and DPS label.
+- The HP value MUST update reactively on every tick (this is bug #1 from
+  task3 — verify the fix; if not done, it must be done here as part of layout).
+- "Best Floor" and pact count shown below HP bar in `<StatRow>` pairs.
+- Activity log (moved here per task3 bug #3): compact scrollable list of
+  recent events (damage dealt, floor cleared, pact signed). Max 20 entries.
+  Auto-scrolls to bottom. Uses `--bg-sunken` background.
+- Active Spells section: each spell card shows name, type badge, DPS, raw
+  damage, cast rate, and a live cast progress bar.
+  - The cast bar must animate smoothly from 0→100% between casts.
+  - Spell cards use a left border colored by spell element.
+- Active Golems section: if empty, show a subtle empty state
+  ("No golems summoned"), not a blank space.
+- Climb Down button: prominent but secondary styling (not the same as Gather).
+  Per task3 bug #2 — must trigger floor-by-floor downward combat; verify the
+  fix is in place.
+
+**Mobile combat view:**
+- Floor info, cast bar, and HP bar above the fold.
+- Spells and golems scrollable below.
+- No horizontal scroll anywhere.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+- Floor HP updates every game tick visually.
+- Cast bar animates correctly.
+- Element colors match `--mana-*` tokens.
+- Activity log auto-scrolls.
+- Empty golem state shown gracefully.
+- No content clipped on 375px viewport.
+
+---
+
+### Sub-task 6 — Stats Tab [parallel after ST1]
+
+**Files:** `src/components/game/tabs/StatsTab.tsx` (or stats subdirectory).
+
+The stats tab should feel like opening a detailed character sheet.
+
+Changes required:
+- Group stats into sections: Mana Stats, Combat Stats, Skill Bonuses,
+  Equipment Modifiers, Attunement Effects.
+- **Mana breakdown section** (new — per task3 bug #14):
+  For each unlocked mana type, show a row with:
+  `[ElementBadge] [Name] | Current: X | Cap: Y | Regen: +Z/hr | Modifiers: ...`
+  Raw mana appears first, then elements in unlock order.
+  Modifiers should list attunement conversions and any drain effects.
+- All label/value pairs use `<StatRow>`.
+- Multipliers highlighted in gold/amber.
+- Bonuses from skills listed in a "Active Skill Upgrades" sub-section as
+  compact tags, not full rows.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+- Mana breakdown section present with per-type rows.
+- All values reactive (update without page reload).
+- Clearly grouped sections.
+
+---
+
+### Sub-task 7 — Equipment & Crafting Tabs [parallel after ST1]
+
+**Files:** `src/components/game/tabs/EquipmentTab.tsx` (GearTab),
+`src/components/game/tabs/CraftingTab.tsx` and crafting subdirectory.
+
+**Equipment/Gear Tab:**
+- Equipment slots: visual slot layout (head, chest, hands, feet, weapon,
+  offhand). Not a flat list.
+- Each slot shows: item name, enchantment count / capacity, rarity color.
+- 2-handed weapon rule (task3 bug #6): offhand slot overlaid with a
+  "Occupied — 2H Weapon" badge when a 2-handed item is equipped. Slot
+  interaction disabled.
+- Empty slots show a subtle dashed border with slot type label.
+- On mobile: slots stack vertically in two columns (weapon + offhand as a
+  pair).
+
+**Crafting Tab:**
+- The three phases (Design, Prepare, Apply) are shown as a visual stepper at
+  the top of the tab, not as separate unlabeled sections.
+- Design phase: filter enchantments by items the player owns (task3 bug #7).
+  Show incompatible enchantments in a greyed-out "Unavailable" section below
+  compatible ones, with a tooltip explaining why (e.g., "Requires a weapon").
+- Prepare phase: if the target item has existing enchantments, the button
+  reads "Prepare — removes existing enchantments". Confirm dialog before
+  proceeding. (task3 bug #8)
+- Items tagged "Ready for Enchantment" get a distinct visual badge.
+- Apply phase: only shows items tagged "Ready for Enchantment".
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+- 2H weapon slot disable visible and clear.
+- Phase stepper renders correctly.
+- Prepare button label changes based on enchantment state.
+- "Ready for Enchantment" tag visible on item cards.
+
+---
+
+### Sub-task 8 — Attunements Tab [parallel after ST1]
+
+**Files:** `src/components/game/tabs/AttunementTab.tsx` (AttunmentsTab).
+
+Currently looks reasonable but needs design-system alignment.
+
+Changes required:
+- Each attunement card (Enchanter, Invoker, Fabricator) should be a
+  `<GameCard>` with a clear locked/unlocked/active state.
+- The primary mana type is shown with its `<ElementBadge>`.
+- Raw Regen and Conversion stats use `<StatRow>`.
+- XP progress bar uses `<ManaBar>` with the attunement's mana color.
+- Capabilities list: icon + label, not plain text.
+- Locked attunements: show unlock condition prominently — "Defeat your first
+  guardian" should appear as an amber callout, not grey body text.
+- Summary row ("+0.5 raw mana/hr · 1 active attunement") styled as a
+  `<GameCard variant="sunken">` header, not a row of green pills.
+- On mobile: attunement cards stack vertically. Each card is full width.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+- All three cards render at all viewport sizes.
+- Locked state clearly communicated with unlock path.
+- Summary row consistent with design system.
+
+---
+
+### Sub-task 9 — Remaining Tabs [parallel after ST1]
+
+Apply design-system alignment to all remaining tabs without deep redesign.
+The goal is visual consistency, not a full rework.
+
+Tabs to align:
+- **Golems Tab** — golem cards with element badges, stat rows, slot count.
+- **Spells Tab** — spell list with element badges, DPS, mana cost.
+- **Loot Tab** — inventory with item rarity colors, category filter pills
+  styled consistently.
+- **Achievements Tab** — achievement cards with progress bars.
+- **Lab Tab** — prestige/insight upgrades; upgrade cards consistent with
+  skill rows.
+- **Grimoire Tab** — whatever this displays; ensure heading and content
+  structure uses design system.
+- **Debug Tab** — fix crash (task3 bug #4 — verify it's done; if not, fix it
+  here). Style minimally; this is a dev tool.
+
+For each tab:
+1. Replace ad-hoc background/border colors with design tokens.
+2. Replace plain text label/value pairs with `<StatRow>`.
+3. Ensure empty states have explicit messaging.
+4. Verify mobile layout doesn't overflow.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+- All tabs render without crashes.
+- All tabs use `--bg-*`, `--border-*`, `--text-*` tokens (no raw hex).
+- All tabs have explicit empty states.
+- All tabs usable at 375px width.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5 — Mobile Layout Audit
+
+After all sub-tasks complete, do a dedicated mobile pass:
+
+1. Open the game at 375px viewport (iPhone SE size — the minimum target).
+2. Walk through every tab.
+3. Fix any overflow, truncation, or illegible text.
+4. Test touch targets — all interactive elements must be ≥ 44×44px.
+5. The left panel and tab content must not require horizontal scrolling.
+6. The tab bar must be reachable with one thumb (bottom placement on mobile
+   is acceptable if it avoids stretching).
+
+Document findings in `docs/task4/mobile_audit.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6 — Performance Check
+
+The game ticks every 200ms. UI updates must not cause jank.
+
+Rules:
+- Never read from the Zustand store inside a render loop without selectors.
+- All animated elements (mana bar, cast bar, calendar) must use CSS
+  transitions rather than JS-driven style updates where possible.
+- No `useEffect` that sets state on every tick without proper memoization.
+- Run `bun run build` and confirm 0 TypeScript errors and 0 new ESLint errors.
+
+---
+
+## Step 7 — Final Audit
+
+Write `docs/task4/ui_audit_report.md` covering:
+- Visual inconsistencies found and resolved
+- UX friction points addressed
+- Remaining issues flagged with priority (high/medium/low)
+- Screenshots or descriptions of before/after for major changes
+
+---
+
+## Constraints & Rules
+
+1. **No new external dependencies** unless absolutely necessary and approved.
+   Tailwind, shadcn/ui, framer-motion, lucide-react are already available.
+
+2. **Do not change game logic.** Only `src/components/`, `src/app/globals.css`,
+   and documentation files are in scope. Do not modify `src/lib/game/`.
+
+3. **TypeScript strict.** All new code must compile without `any` types.
+
+4. **Backwards compatible.** The Zustand store interface must not change.
+
+5. **Git hygiene.** Pull before starting. Commit after each sub-task with a
+   clear message: `feat(ui): redesign skills tab — sub-task 4`.
+
+6. **Parallel agents must not edit the same file concurrently.** The
+   dependency graph in your sub-task docs must make this explicit.
+
+7. **Accessibility baseline.** All interactive elements need proper ARIA
+   labels. Color must not be the only differentiator for state (use icons or
+   text labels alongside color).
+
+8. **Banned patterns:**
+   - Generic purple gradients as the only visual treatment
+   - Inline `style={{}}` with hardcoded hex values
+   - `className="bg-purple-900"` type raw Tailwind colors — use CSS vars
+   - Visible component name debug labels
+   - Empty `<div>` spacers — use `gap-*` on flex/grid parents
+   - Multiple nested cards (card inside card inside card)
+   - Tooltip-only affordances with no static label
+
+---
