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

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

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