+# Delegation intent: workspace panel layout/display tuning
+
+## Classification
+
+`implementation-ready` as a focused UX/layout pass after the first-pass panel implementation.
+
+The main requested change is row readability: Ticket titles and Pod names/ids are variable-length and currently lead the row, which makes status/action scanning hard. Rework rendering into aligned columns with short fields first and long free-text identifiers last.
+
+## Intent
+
+Tune `yoi panel` row rendering and immediate display affordances without changing Ticket backend/action semantics.
+
+Primary direction:
+
+- Ticket/action rows: short aligned columns first, long Ticket title last.
+- Pod rows: short aligned columns first, variable-length Pod id/name last.
+- Ticket row and Pod row schemas do not need to be identical, but each row family should align its own columns consistently.
+
+## Worktree / branch
+
+- worktree: `/home/hare/Projects/yoi/.worktree/workspace-panel-layout-display-tuning`
+- branch: `work/workspace-panel-layout-display-tuning`
+
+This ticket may read tracked `.yoi/tickets` records/design artifacts. Do not read or edit `.yoi/memory/`.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Rework row rendering into stable aligned columns rather than sentence-like rows.
+- Ticket/action row layout should move the long Ticket title to the end.
+ - Put short, comparable fields first.
+ - Suggested fields/order: selection marker, priority bucket, action, derived status, phase, short id/slug, title.
+ - Exact widths can be tuned, but status/action/phase should line up across Ticket rows.
+- Pod row layout should move variable-length Pod name/id to the end.
+ - Put short, comparable fields first.
+ - Suggested fields/order: selection marker, status, action, role/kind if cheaply available, Pod name/id.
+ - Long Pod names must not break status/action alignment.
+- Preserve existing color/style semantics unless a small adjustment improves readability.
+- Improve labels only where it directly helps the aligned layout; avoid broad copy rewrites.
+- Preserve `yoi panel` behavior in both Ticket-enabled and no-Ticket workspaces.
+- Preserve Ticket action dispatch, Intake launch, Orchestrator lifecycle, Pod open/direct-send, and composer target behavior.
+- Do not move authority into rendering code; keep the thin ViewModel boundary.
+- Do not reintroduce `--multi`.
+- Avoid broad refactors or new scheduler/action semantics.
+
+## Current code map
+
+- `crates/tui/src/multi_pod.rs`
+ - `panel_row_line(...)` currently renders Ticket/action rows as `
[priority] Action: status ...`.
+ - `row_line(...)` currently renders Pod rows as ` [status] action ...`.
+ - `panel_priority_style(...)`, `row_status_label(...)`, section/header rendering, and tests are nearby.
+- `crates/tui/src/workspace_panel.rs`
+ - `PanelRow`, `TicketPanelEntry`, `ActionPriority`, `NextUserAction`, `TicketPanelPhase`, and `ticket_subtitle(...)` provide the display fields.
+ - Extend display-ready fields only if needed; keep this as UI data, not authority.
+- Existing tests in `crates/tui/src/multi_pod.rs` and `workspace_panel.rs`
+ - Add/adjust unit tests for row rendering/alignment and truncation behavior.
+
+## Suggested display shape
+
+Ticket/action row example:
+
+```text
+▶ decision Review implementation reported review workspace-panel-composer-targets Workspace panel composer targets
+ ready Go ready for Go preflight ticket-slug Long Ticket title...
+```
+
+Pod row example:
+
+```text
+ live idle send pod companion
+ live running open pod very-long-background-worker-name...
+```
+
+Exact wording and widths can differ, but the visual rule is fixed: short comparable columns first, long names/titles last.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Backend/Ticket action semantic changes.
+- New scheduler/queue behavior.
+- Orchestrator/Intake protocol changes.
+- Replacing the single-Pod TUI.
+- Reintroducing `--multi`.
+- Large module refactors.
+
+## Validation
+
+Run at least:
+
+- targeted TUI tests for Ticket row rendering/alignment;
+- targeted TUI tests for Pod row rendering/alignment;
+- `cargo test -p tui workspace_panel`;
+- `cargo test -p tui multi_pod`;
+- `cargo test -p yoi panel`;
+- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets`;
+- `cargo fmt --check`;
+- `git diff --check`;
+- `cargo build -p yoi`;
+- `target/debug/yoi ticket doctor`.
+
+Run `nix build .#yoi --no-link` if feasible.
+
+## Completion report
+
+Report:
+
+- worktree path / branch;
+- commit hash;
+- final Ticket row column schema and widths/truncation behavior;
+- final Pod row column schema and widths/truncation behavior;
+- tests updated/added;
+- validation results;
+- remaining UX/display tuning items, if any.

+## Plan
+
+Preflight result: `implementation-ready` as a focused layout/display pass.
+
+Implementation should rework panel row rendering into aligned columns with short comparable fields first and long variable text last:
+- Ticket/action rows: move Ticket title to the end; align priority/action/status/phase/id-or-slug first.
+- Pod rows: move Pod id/name to the end; align status/action/kind first.
+
+This should not change Ticket backend semantics, action dispatch, Orchestrator lifecycle, Intake handoff, no-Ticket behavior, or the thin ViewModel boundary.
