Why: Fast and slow channel cards duplicate across panes and completed replies hide process output.
Evidence: npm test; npm run build; 12 isolated Playwright scenarios with reload and responsive widths.
Impact: Preserve ordered folded process history, load durable run events, and give work cards one detailed pane.

Why: make material, background work, confirmations and files accessible to nontechnical users across desktop and mobile.
Evidence: Dev SELF receipts for Frontend tsc, 190 tests, knip baseline, build, nine fixture browser cases and two real HTTP/browser smoke cases using MockRunner.
Impact: existing API and permissions remain authoritative; stale events/queries and duplicate effects are guarded, while one file preview and reading state are preserved.
Refs: work-companion-ui design r0.2 and plan r1 U2-U5; UI01-UI13.
Why: Deliverable cards appeared as soon as a file was registered, and the last draft was shown as the answer before the run had finished composing one.
Evidence: vitest run test/live.test.ts test/toolkind.test.ts test/messageparts.test.ts test/design-guard.test.ts
Impact: Cards wait until the run ends. A finalizing phase keeps earlier text in the process block, and check rows render there.

Why: Streaming tool arguments looked like a frozen cursor, and a failed run folded the only narration into the collapsed process block.
Evidence: npx vitest run in modules/frontend, 13 files, 66 passed. npx tsc -b reports only a pre-existing missing docx-preview module.
Impact: Live tools move composing to running to done with arguments and output; finished runs lift the last narration; same-run errors and duplicate files collapse into the reply.

Why: Process output folded on every text delta, successful tool
results disappeared after refresh, and generated files stayed plain
text instead of a card that opens a closable preview.
Evidence: npx tsc -b --noEmit (clean); npx vitest run (51 passed).
Impact: Live work stays expanded until the run ends, then folds to
one worked-time line. File cards open a per-conversation preview pane.
docx renders page by page, with mammoth if that fails.
