## Source

- "Redesign device dropdown"
- "Reorder left rail to be a more useful layout (and reduce items for better mobile support)"
- "The compact menubar needs more refinement -> shrink top bar height"
- "Offline bit looks funny. Should be local/online (or show users maybe)"
- "Allow clicking the file icon on pill left to open dropdown???"
- "Logo consistency with character art"
- "Click/hover on log in console to see where it came from"

## Current state

- The rail renders page links outside a workspace and panel launchers inside one; the compact/top-bar behaviour is driven by `useCompactWorkspace`.
- `device-target-selector.tsx` was recently rebuilt as a master-detail target switcher (commits 9df605b and 730c596).
- Device status labels are `online`, `offline`, `connecting` and `unavailable` in `status-badge.tsx`.
- Console entries carry a message, level and timestamp but no source location, so the "where it came from" item needs protocol work and is tracked in #101.

## Acceptance

- [x] Create three mobile navigation mockups in Pen and attach screenshots (see the comment below).
- [ ] Decide between fewer rail items, a drawer and a bottom bar before implementing.
- [ ] Shorten the compact menubar and verify no control clips or wraps at the supported widths.
- [ ] **Deferred by owner:** the device dropdown is undecided and must not be redesigned in this issue. Leave the current rebuilt switcher alone unless a separate issue is opened.
- [x] Decision: "Offline" means **browser/cloud sync state**, not device state.
- [ ] Rename and restyle it as local/cloud sync state, with copy that matches the terminology in README/AGENTS.
- [ ] Make the file icon on the left of the project/target pill open the relevant dropdown, including by keyboard.
- [ ] Keep the rail logo consistent with the character art and the brand guide from #91.
- [ ] Run `expectNoA11yViolations` on the changed desktop and mobile journeys.
