How AI was used in this PR
Written with Claude Code and Codex through iterative design passes in the running app. I directed the interaction model and visual hierarchy, reviewed each pass, and had the implementation rebuilt on current trunk before updating this exploration. I've read the resulting diff.
Proposed Changes
Site actions currently live behind a dropdown whose trigger reads primarily as status. This exploration replaces that hidden entry point with a permanent site header: site identity and state on the left, with the most relevant actions visible on the right.
The current action hierarchy is:
The header also provides dedicated publish, share, sync, connection, and status flows, while preserving compact behavior at narrow widths. The split button has no border or fill at rest and reveals its frame through interaction.
