+# Evidence: live bottom-buffer captures from Muse Code 0.2.1 in Herdr, using a local
+# deterministic Responses provider so each UI state could be held and inspected.
+#
+# Idle has a `⟩` prompt and `model · effort · cwd` footer. Active turns show
+# `◆ Working (... · esc to interrupt)` or another activity label with the same interrupt hint.
+#
+# Structured questions show two co-occurring footer controls:
+#   Enter to select · ↑/↓ to move · Tab for an optional note · Esc to interrupt
+# Multi-select uses `Enter to toggle` instead. The paired controls distinguish a real picker
+# from ordinary transcript text that happens to mention one action.
+#
+# First launch in an untrusted directory shows `Do you trust this workspace?` together with
+# `Trust and continue`. This is a real blocker. User-opened `/theme` and `/skills` menus are
+# not blockers; their paired footer controls identify overlays whose prior state must be kept.
+#
+# Muse 0.2.1 command approval shows `Allow this stage once` together with
+# `Always allow in this workspace`. Muse 0.1 used `Allow once` with
+# `Allow for this session`. Network approval shows `Yes, proceed` together with
+# `Yes, don't ask again this session`. Each approval rule requires a pair because Muse can
+# emit any one of these phrases as ordinary assistant text after a completed turn.
