Per the surface-phase spec for the Chat cluster (ChatView, ChatPanel,
ChatMessage, ChatInputBar, ToolCallCard):
Long-form line-height
- ChatMessage: assistant-bubble .message-content jumps from 1.55 to
1.7 — chat is a reading surface, not a snippet stream. User
bubbles stay tighter.
- JournalView: dropped its :deep(.role-assistant .message-content)
override; ChatMessage handles it now and Journal inherits.
ToolCallCard borders
- Removed the outer 1px border. ToolCallCard always renders inside
an assistant bubble; the bubble already contains it. Background
tint differentiates without re-bordering. Per the
structural-not-decorative rule.
- Error state preserved as a 3px left-edge accent in --color-danger,
mirroring the assistant bubble's own left-edge pattern.
Button reclassification per Hybrid rule
- ChatView .bulk-link "All"/"None": accent text → --color-text-secondary
(these are tertiary list-control affordances, not brand moments)
- ChatView .bulk-delete-btn: --color-danger (Error terracotta) →
--color-action-destructive (Oxblood) per Hybrid; paired with a
Trash2 icon since destructive should always be reinforced by an
icon, not just color
- ChatView .btn-delete-conv hover: same Error → Oxblood swap
- .btn-new-conv stays accent (brand moment, correct already)
- .btn-send stays accent gradient (primary brand moment, foundation)
Two-weights-only
- Snapped every font-weight: 600/700 to 500 across ChatView,
ChatPanel, ChatMessage, ToolCallCard per the doc rule.

The right rail's loadEvents was using "now → now + 14 days", which
filtered out events earlier today that had already passed. The prep
uses "today 00:00 → today 23:59" so it includes those events and
explicitly notes they're "in the past". The two surfaces talked
about different sets of events.
Widen the right rail to "today 00:00 → today + 14 days 23:59" so
events from earlier today still surface and group under "Today". The
prep and the right rail now reference the same set within today.
Events further out (next 14 days) keep working as before.

Per the surface-phase spec for Journal:
- Weather refresh button: ↻ unicode → Lucide RotateCcw (PR 1
carry-over for emoji-as-icon)
- .journal-title: dropped redundant font-family override (h1 inherits
Fraunces from theme.css); also snapped weight 700 → 500 per doc's
"two weights only" rule
- .weather-tab.active, .events-day-label, .event-title, .panel-label:
snapped 600/700 → 500 per same rule
- Added long-form 1.7 line-height to journal-chat-panel assistant
bubble content (the daily prep is prose, not chat snippets)
- Removed dead .news-section / .news-card / .news-* / .reaction-btn
CSS — news functionality was retired with the briefing→journal
migration (PR #43); styles were never cleaned up
Buttons audited per Hybrid rule: btn-trigger ("Refresh prep") and
weather-refresh-btn are tertiary actions, already correctly styled
as Pewter ghost. .btn-send (Journal Send) flows through ChatInputBar
on the accent gradient — brand moment, kept as-is.
Borders audited per structural-not-decorative: header bottom,
sidebar left, section dividers, form input borders all kept (all
genuinely structural). No decorative borders to remove.

The structured prep card was data-rich but voiceless. Replaced with an
LLM-generated conversational opener — same shape the briefing's compilation
slot had — that renders as a normal assistant chat bubble at the top of
the day's conversation.
Backend (services/journal_prep.py):
- Renamed generate_daily_prep -> gather_daily_sections (still pure data
fetching, no LLM); kept the old name as a backwards-compat alias.
- New _generate_prep_prose: hands the gathered sections to generate_completion
with a warm-conversational system prompt; returns prose. Falls back to a
plain greeting if the LLM call fails or no model is configured.
- ensure_daily_prep_message now persists the prep as role='assistant' with
the prose as content. Structured sections stay on msg_metadata for
provenance. Auto-upgrades legacy system-role preps in place on next call.
Frontend:
- Drop the <article class="daily-prep"> structured block from JournalView.
The prep is now just the first chat bubble — picks up the existing
Illuminated Transcript styling automatically.
- Drop dayMessages / prepMessage / prepSections / asArray helpers — no
longer needed.
- ChatMessage hideMessage filter: comment refined to clarify it only
catches LEGACY system-role prep rows. Current preps are assistant-role
and render normally.
Net effect: open /journal -> first thing you see is a warm assistant bubble
that talks about your day -> input bar below to reply.

The setup-wizard component was deleted in the RSS hard-cut (it was
briefing-config-shaped), but JournalView still imported it — breaking
the Vite build.
Removed the import + showWizard / wizardChecked / checkSetup /
onWizardDone plumbing. JournalView now mounts straight into the day view.

The journal UI was over-stripped earlier — weather panel, current-conditions
poll, and the upcoming-events sidebar were all dropped. Restored those (calls
the new /api/journal/weather, /api/journal/weather/current,
/api/journal/weather/refresh, /api/journal/weather/geocode endpoints).
Also: the daily-prep system message was rendering as flat text inside
ChatPanel because there's no .role-system bubble styling. Added a hideMessage
guard in ChatMessage so daily-prep system messages don't render in the chat
stream — they're already shown above as a structured prep card.
News / RSS reactions / article-discuss are intentionally NOT in the journal
(scoped out per user direction). The broader RSS infrastructure cleanup is
a separate, larger task.

Restores a working browser surface for the journal feature, which was
left UI-less when Stage F of the original plan was deferred. JournalView
is a fresh write (not a rename of BriefingView) — drops the briefing-
specific weather panel, news cards, RSS reactions, article-discuss
button, and setup wizard, since none of those have journal-backend
equivalents.
What it does:
- Fetches /api/journal/today on mount; shows today's daily-prep card
(rendered from msg_metadata.kind === 'daily_prep' sections)
- Day picker via /api/journal/days lets you switch to past days
- Refresh-prep button hits /api/journal/trigger-prep
- Center is the existing ChatPanel pinned to today's journal conversation
(so the chat input + SSE + tool-call cards inherit unchanged)
- Right sidebar keeps the upcoming-events list (uses the generic
/api/events endpoint, not a briefing-specific one)
Also:
- Replace the dead Briefing API client functions with Journal equivalents
(getJournalConfig, saveJournalConfig, getJournalToday, getJournalDay,
getJournalDays, triggerJournalPrep, list/update/deleteJournalMoment).
- Remove NewsView.vue — it was orphaned (no route, no nav) and depended
on the deleted /api/briefing/* endpoints. If a standalone news surface
is wanted later it'll need to be rebuilt against new endpoints.
