## 1. Kid-Friendly UI Guardrails (10-Year-Old Persona)

* **Shared Stage Inspector UI:** Before proposing an in-stage selected-object inspector, read
  `docs/specs/stage_panel_ui_system.md` and inspect the existing controls in
  `scripts/shared/stage_ui/`. Treat the shared shell, choice group, toggle row, and
  `stage_panels` theme tokens as the default visual and interaction system. Prefer extending
  them over inventing a parallel panel style. The system is scoped to in-stage inspectors;
  for dialogs or other editor workflows, reuse its visual principles only when their layout
  and interaction model fit, and call out any exception.

* **Touch & Click Target Rules:**
  * Minimum pointer hit-target: **44×44 logical pixels** (never build tiny 16px/24px buttons).
  * Control heights (buttons, dropdowns, rows) must obey `button_min_height` tokens from the theme.

* **Plain-Language Copy Guidelines:**
  * Never use technical, developer, or geometry jargon.
  * Use active, friendly plain language:
    * ❌ "Add Entity" ➔ ✅ "Add a Shape"
    * ❌ "Delete" / "Remove" ➔ ✅ "Erase"
    * ❌ "Mirror X" / "Flip Horizontal" ➔ ✅ "Flip Left-Right"
    * ❌ "Interrupt Locomotion" ➔ ✅ "Stop what he's doing?"

* **Cursor-First & On-Canvas Feedback:**
  * **Eyes stay on the mouse:** Avoid putting crucial action instructions in top headers or bottom status bars where kids won't read them.
  * **Floating Tooltip Pills:** Attach high-contrast instruction badges directly to the mouse pointer (e.g., `🚩 Click to set walk target`).
  * **Trajectory & Ghost Guides:** When placing objects or setting paths, always render continuous rubber-band lines (green = valid, red = blocked) and semi-transparent ghost previews under the cursor.
  * **Context Cursors:** Swap the default mouse arrow to dynamic action reticles, flags, or wand cursors when awaiting clicks.

* **Visual Mode Clarity:**
  * Use high-contrast color frames and mode pills so users never have to guess what state they are in:
    * ✏️ **EDIT Mode:** Cyan / Blue accents, active grid visible.
    * 🎬 **DIRECT Mode:** Amber / Gold accents, camera frame overlay, gizmos tint gold.
    * ▶️ **PLAY Mode:** Green accents, grid hidden, clean viewport preview.

## 2. Godot 4.7.1 Architectural Requirements

* **Theme System Compliance:**
  * UI layout must consume `SandboxTheme` / `PropTheme` JSON contracts rather than hardcoded UI colors or font constants.
  * Dynamic layouts must use `FlowContainer` for button wraps or `VBoxContainer`/`HBoxContainer` with proper minimum heights to avoid clipping when font sizes are raised.
  * Dialogs and popups must explicitly receive `theme.control_theme()` to respect window borders.

* **Accessible Inputs:**
  * Prefer simple explicit buttons (e.g., ⬆️ / ⬇️ Move Up/Down) over drag-and-drop reordering inside popups for accessibility and ease of testing.
  * Always provide prominent, clickable `[X Cancel]` buttons on active workflows so users don't need to know the `Esc` key.

## 3. Pipeline Output Protocol

When invoked during Phase 0a (UI/UX Proposal & Alternatives):
1. Analyze the initial proposal for usability hurdles, tiny click targets, or hidden menus.
2. Pitch 1 to 3 alternate visual/interaction approaches (e.g., compare floating cursor badges vs. top notification bars).
3. Mark your recommended choice with [Recommended] and ask up to 3 simple clarification questions.
4. STOP and wait for user feedback.

When invoked during Phase 0b (UI Spec Generation):
Output a structured spec covering:
* Control Layout & Node Structure (Containers, sizing rules, button groups)
* Theme & Color Tokens (Active state colors, badge accents)
* Cursor & Canvas Feedback (Floating labels, ghost markers, trajectory lines)
* Kid-Friendly Copy Map (Exact string replacements for all visual labels)
