Question

How should the five additions look on screen? Build a cheap mock (headless Textual render or ASCII sketch) of the Panes TUI showing: (1) Header bar reading "Fenris — NVMe endurance monitor"; (2) Bongbetic credit line in the bottom service strip; (3) persistence line such as "monitoring: active in background · persists across reboots"; (4) prominent quit affordance visually distinct from a monitoring-paused banner (Deliberate disable state); (5) one-time launch banner noting privileged actions prompt for authentication (polkit). Placement decisions from charting are fixed; this ticket refines visual presentation to react to. Link the prototype asset from this issue.

Prototype asset: dashboard clarity variants on branch prototype/dashboard-clarity (commit 482c2ac).

Run: ./prototype/dashboard-clarity/run, then open http://127.0.0.1:8765/prototype/dashboard-clarity/?variant=a.

Three treatments preserve Panes layout while varying visual hierarchy: A Quiet integration, B Labelled rails, C Strong state blocks. Active/paused selector exposes quit-TUI versus Deliberate disable distinction. Awaiting HITL review before resolution.

Resolution

Accepted visual direction:

Use A — Quiet integration as base treatment, preserving existing Panes information architecture.
Use C — Strong state blocks for monitoring-paused presentation: full-width, high-contrast banner clearly identifying Deliberate disable.
Use B — Labelled rails for quit affordance: prominent bordered q · QUIT TUI, visually separate from monitoring state.
Render launch authentication notice as A's quiet informational line; it must not compete with drive state.
Render persistence as B's labelled CONTINUITY row, providing clear anchor for TUI/CLI parity.
Place dimmed Bongbetic credit inline with service facts, not action row.

Prototype source: prototype/dashboard-clarity, commit 482c2ac.

This resolves visual presentation only. Exact wording remains with Lock the dashboard wording strings. No glossary or ADR change required.
