+## Approved Opal pink redesign — 2026-10-02
+
+User approved the Opal HTML direction with the existing square reactive persona.
+Native implementation now uses luminous pink-white surfaces, readable plum text,
+rose actions (#A64270), an account-derived personalized greeting, 184pt welcome /
+112pt active Canvas presence, pastel starter prompts, and an inset floating dock.
+The approved Opal overlapping-speech icon replaces the old glowing capsule.
+Light/dark semantic roles, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion remain supported.
+Sign out moved into the Account menu; authentication, TLS, session lifetime,
+account-scoped history, draft retention, transcript follow-latest behavior and
+voice/text readiness gates are unchanged. Starter prompts prepare editable text
+only: they never send automatically or enable microphone capture.
+
+Verification: simulator and signed generic-iPhone builds passed. Full offline run
+passed **59 unit + 7 UI tests**, `/tmp/hope-opal-offline.xcresult`; three explicitly
+opt-in TLS unit cases returned without live probes, not runtime TLS evidence.
+Independent review identified editor disappearance on clearing a prompt; corrected
+by keeping the Type draft editor mounted even when empty. Final focused draft-edit /
+offline recovery run passed **2 UI tests**, `/tmp/hope-opal-draft-final.xcresult`.
+Final pink idle-persona tint change rebuilt and **59 unit tests passed** again,
+`/tmp/hope-opal-final-unit.log`. Native light/dark simulator screenshots inspected;
+light screenshot `/Users/shane/dev/hope-voice-api/design-options/opal-native-light.png`.
+
+Initial physical install reset its transport, then retry was explicitly denied
+because the iPhone was locked. After the user unlocked it, final signed build,
+installation and launch **succeeded** on the paired iPhone 14 Pro Max at 13:27 local.
+Artifact `/tmp/hope-opal-phone-build/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Voice.app`, final
+build log `/tmp/hope-opal-phone-install.log`. App data/credentials were preserved.
+No backend, account data, saved credentials or production preferences were reset.
+Real microphone capture, audible replies and interruptions were not requalified
+by this UI work; successful installation is not a live voice-session claim.
