+  - Key patterns: dashboard-first, ephemeral conversation overlay, widget grid, proximity-aware, ambient mode
+  - Verge/CNET screenshots downloaded for reference
+- **KIPP UI v2 built and deployed** — Alexa-inspired dashboard:
+  - Hero card with greeting + status, weather with hourly forecast, shopping list, today/calendar, timers
+  - Chat overlay appears on mic button press, dashboard blurs behind it
+  - Dark theme, card-based, bottom bar with mic button
+  - WebSocket protocol fully working (connect, chat.send, streaming)
+- **Systems check:**
+  - Leverage trader running: $9,987.40 (-0.13% from $10K), HYPE trade closed at -$15.63
+  - GARP portfolio: $100,055.90 (+0.06% from $100K), 6 positions
+  - All systemd timers healthy
+- **Future UI improvements identified:**
