# Chanora Adaptive Layout and Platform Guide

**Document status:** DV meeting baseline candidate  
**Date:** 2026-05-29

## 1. Layout Policy

Chanora prioritizes compact/mobile layout for MVP while preserving a path to medium and expanded layouts.

| Layout class | Current expectation |
|---|---|
| Compact | Primary supported layout for mobile and narrow windows |
| Medium | Must preserve connection and voice control visibility; side navigation rail remains a P1 gap where not implemented |
| Expanded | Persistent side panes are deferred beyond current candidate |

## 2. Platform Policy

| Platform concern | Required behavior |
|---|---|
| Safe areas/system bars | Critical controls remain reachable |
| Android back | Back intent service mediates app behavior |
| iOS gestures/haptics | Platform services handle iOS-specific behavior |
| Desktop PTT | UI displays actual PTT capability level and fallback state |

## 3. DV Conclusion

Adaptive layout policy is documented. Medium/expanded hardening remains a tracked post-MVP/P1 gap where not implemented.
