 **Known gotcha — verified in `globals.css`:** `--accent`, `--secondary`, and `--muted` all resolve to the _identical_ OKLCH value in both light and dark themes. Using `bg-accent` for a "selected" state against a `bg-secondary` container is **invisible** — there is zero contrast. This bit us repeatedly in this exact sidebar. Rules:

+Use `Input` and `Textarea` from `@/components/ui`. The shared `ChatComposer` uses `InputGroupTextarea` and owns submission, cancellation and IME handling. Reuse it for new chat surfaces

-### Bordered surfaces (Card substitute)
+### Card
 
-No `Card` component is installed. Use a bordered div — this is already the documented pattern here, keep it:
+Use the installed Card primitives for grouped content and action reviews
 
 ```tsx
-<div className="border rounded-lg p-4 bg-card">{/* content */}</div>
+import { Card, CardContent, CardHeader, CardTitle } from "@/components/ui/card";

+  </CardHeader>
+  <CardContent>{children}</CardContent>
+</Card>;
 ```
 
+### Messages and Markdown
+
+`ChatMessages` owns the shared list renderer. `ChatMessageContent` renders one message without a list wrapper so a transcript scroller can own each row. Both retain user editing, reasoning, tool output, copying and response metrics
+
+Use the official registry `Bubble` and `BubbleContent` primitives. User messages use the muted variant and end alignment. Assistant messages use the ghost variant at full available width. Keep paragraph spacing and list markers in the shared Markdown renderer. GFM tables use the shared Table primitives, which provide horizontal scrolling. Forward Markdown cell styles so column alignment survives rendering
+
+LiteAdmin passes `allowImages={false}` to show image descriptions without automatically requesting external image URLs from administrative answers. Other chat consumers retain image rendering by default
+
+Scrolling belongs to the conversation container. LiteAdmin uses official MessageScroller items with stable chronological IDs; a pending action and its result stay in the same row. Its inline action review is an explicit product exception to the AlertDialog confirmation pattern below

 ## Known gaps (tracked, not blockers)
 
-These are real, current gaps in this codebase's shadcn setup — don't silently work around them by reinventing the missing piece with raw Tailwind; either use the documented substitute above or flag the addition as its own change:
+Card, Textarea and sonner are installed. Earlier versions of this document listed them as missing and encouraged parallel implementations; use the shared owners above
 
-1. **No `Card` component.** Substitute: bordered div (`border rounded-lg p-4 bg-card`), already the established pattern.
-2. **No `Textarea` component.** Substitute: raw `<textarea>` with `border-none outline-none resize-none`, only inside an already-bordered container (chat composer).
-3. **No `sonner`.** Substitute: existing `MessageManager`.
-4. **No shadcn `Sidebar` primitive block** (`SidebarProvider`/`SidebarMenu`/etc). Substitute: the "Sidebar nav item" pattern above, built from `Button variant="ghost"` + the `sidebar-*` tokens.
+The shadcn Sidebar primitive block (`SidebarProvider`/`SidebarMenu`/etc) is still absent. Use the "Sidebar nav item" pattern above, built from `Button variant="ghost"` and the `sidebar-*` tokens
