 Every component: **absent → present → interactive**. Zero data reduces complexity; real data increases density. **No state change may alter row dimensions.**

+## 11. Post-thickening review (current vs reference)
+
+After increasing AG Agent panel weight (wider rail, thicker borders/shadows, 44px quick actions, unified notes footer), these gaps remain:
+
+| Area | Expected | Current | Still needed |
+|------|----------|---------|--------------|
+| **Populated agent state** | Full dashboard with metrics, agenda, needs attention | Empty state only (no real signals in 3-email inbox) | Correct behavior — verify with meeting/invoice/action-item emails |
+| **Metric card copy** | "12 Important emails" inline with icon | Number on own line above label | Optional: inline number + label like reference |
+| **Panel header** | Collapse chevron on right | Static header | Add optional collapse affordance |
+| **Quick action colors** | Each button has distinct icon tint (sparkle, pencil, search, list) | Only first two are purple-tinted | Tint all four icon containers subtly |
+| **Agenda rows** | Clickable with chevron, colored left bar | Styled but no navigation | Wire `View calendar` + row click handlers |
+| **Needs attention** | Company avatars with brand colors | Initials via SenderAvatar | OK when diverse senders exist |
+| **Ask input** | Send button outside input on right | Send inside input row | Minor — reference shows external send pill |
+| **Notes footer** | Attached to panel, flower icon | Pin icon, now visually attached ✓ | Swap icon to match reference if desired |
+| **Inbox rows** | Brand logos, label column alignment | Self-sent SD avatars dominate | Needs diverse real senders |
+| **Category badges** | Non-zero unread per tab | Hidden when zero ✓ | Will appear with unread mail |
+| **Sidebar badges** | Inbox, Drafts, labels, Action Items | Only Clients 1 | Wire remaining counts from API/stats |
+| **Sidebar More** | Expands hidden labels | Toggle present, no expansion | Implement label overflow list |
+| **Pagination** | `1–10 of 243` | `1–3` without total | Needs total count from API |
+| **Row overflow menu** | Three-dot at row end | Missing | Add optional overflow column |
+| **Micro-interactions** | Compose press, category hover, selected row coral | Partial | Polish pass on remaining hovers |
