Work log — Action Items and Design Updates (2025-11-17 07:26)
- Walked through the live transcript UI with Daniel to identify P0 issues in the action items and notes experience.
- Confirmed that transcript regeneration currently renders two separate action items sections (one baked, one editable) and agreed the UI should only show a single interactive list.
- Captured the requirement that transcript notes must behave like a true in-place notepad: always editable, auto-saving on blur, with no separate view vs edit mode.
- Aligned on the desired behavior by comparing against the existing notes implementation where clicking directly into the field makes it editable immediately.
- Reviewed minor but high-impact polish items: increasing padding between date and title to roughly 16px and correcting the split button color to match the design system.
- Clarified how the background color scheme should invert between viewing and editing states, using the centralized version-history color tokens as the single source of truth.
- Agreed on a tight turnaround for these P0 fixes so they can be implemented, tested, and ready to merge by Daniel’s morning.
To-do
- [ ] Remove the legacy baked-in action items block from regenerated transcripts so only the single editable list is visible.
- [ ] Make transcript notes always editable in place (no separate view mode) and confirm autosave behavior on blur.
- [ ] Increase the padding between the transcript date and title to 16px and verify across common viewports.
- [ ] Update the split button color to align with the latest design tokens.
- [ ] Invert the background color scheme for transcript edit mode using the version history palette as the source.
- [ ] Re-run end-to-end tests on transcript regeneration and note editing to ensure the new UX holds up under realistic usage.
