 - **Tools** (bottom bar): Text `T`, Pen `P`, Highlighter `H`, Eraser `E`, Import PDF, Undo/Redo, zoom. The pen's eraser end erases too.
-- **Pages**: the grey "+" tiles next to the active page add a page there; `Alt+Arrow` moves to (or creates) the neighbour. Right-click a page or use its `⋯` button to insert, resize or delete it.
+- **Pages**: the "+" circles beside the active page add a page there (a quick finger flick toward a free side offers one there; turn it off under Settings → Pen & touch); `Alt+Arrow` moves to (or creates) the neighbour. Right-click a page or use its `⋯` button to insert, resize or delete it.
+- **Grid**: the faint background grid has one cell per active page; Settings → Appearance can hide it or subdivide it.
 - **Importing a PDF** into a non-empty canvas shows every free spot; click one to place the chain. Into a blank canvas it simply replaces the empty page. The Files panel can also import a PDF as a new canvas.
 - **View**: wheel/trackpad pans, `Ctrl`+wheel or pinch zooms, `Ctrl+0` fits the page, `Ctrl+9` shows the whole tree, space-drag or middle-drag pans.
 - **Sync**: Settings → Sync. Use a fine-grained token with *Contents: read & write* on the repo. Edits autosave locally; pushes happen every N minutes and on `Ctrl+S` / the sync button. Conflicts: newer wins.

   - A branch can only ever continue in the direction it started (strictly linear — no sub-branches off a branch).
   - A trunk page can have at most one left branch and one right branch.
 - **PDF import**: creates a chain of pages in whatever direction you pick when placing it (up/down = extends the trunk, left/right = becomes a branch off the trunk page you clicked). Only one trunk exists per canvas — additional imported PDFs must attach as a branch off some trunk page, or extend an existing branch further outward in its established direction.
-- Hidden/unopened neighbor pages render as a gray tile with a "+" in a circle; clicking (or a shortcut) instantiates them as real pages.
+- Each free side of the active page shows a small "+" circle just off its edge; tapping it (or `Alt+Arrow`) adds a blank page there. A quick finger fling toward a free side offers a page there for a few seconds: that side's "+" pulses, or, if it is off screen, an "Add page" button appears at that edge of the screen. The fling never adds a page by itself, and can be turned off in Settings.
+- The canvas background is a faint grid with one cell per active page, aligned to its edges; Settings can hide it or subdivide it.
 - Deleting a page removes it (undo via Ctrl+Z); no permanent trash.
 - Default zoom: one page fills the screen. Zoom out reveals the tree.

 - A `touch` pointer is rejected if any of: a pen stroke is active or was active within the last ~5s, its contact ellipse (`width`/`height`) exceeds ~35px (palm heel vs. fingertip), it's within 150ms of the last pen activity, or a pen is currently hovering (armed lockout before it even touches down).
 - A touch stroke already in progress gets cut off mid-stroke if pen activity appears.
 
-**Gaps before this is the real ink engine** (currently a raster test, not vector):
-- `draw()` writes straight to canvas via `ctx.lineTo`/`stroke` with pressure-scaled line width, and throws points away. Needs to become `recordPoint()`: push `{x, y, pressure, tiltX, tiltY, t}` into a `Stroke.points[]` array per stroke; rendering = replaying that array. This is what makes strokes resizable/erasable/undoable and exportable to both the PDF Ink-annotation layer and the JSON attachment layer.
-- `tiltX`/`tiltY` exist on the pen's `PointerEvent` but aren't read anywhere yet — needed for tilt support.
-- No smoothing yet (raw straight segments) — fine as a v1, can layer in curve smoothing later without changing point storage.
-- No undo/redo, multi-color, eraser yet — needs a `Stroke[]` array per page's ink layer with add/remove, which undo/redo just pops/pushes.
+**How the app applies it** (`src/lib/ink/palm.ts`):
+- Each touch is evaluated with an intent. `draw` (finger ink) gets the full policy above. `navigate` (pan, pinch, and taps on canvas buttons such as the add-page "+") skips the 5 s pen session and the hover lockout, so fingers can move around and tap between pen strokes; pen-down, wide contacts and the 150 ms window still reject it.
+- Once a pen has been used, fingers only navigate. "Draw with finger" in Settings turns finger ink off entirely.
+- Each rule (pen session, wide contact, timing, hover) can be switched off in Settings → Pen & touch.
+- An interrupted pointer (`pointercancel`) drops the stroke or erase in progress instead of committing it.
+
+**Ink engine (implemented)**:
+- `StrokeRecorder.recordPoint()` stores `x, y, pressure, tiltX, tiltY, t` per sample in a flat `Stroke.points` array (stride 6); rendering replays it. Tilt is recorded but not yet used for rendering.
+- Outlines are smoothed with `perfect-freehand`; mouse and finger strokes simulate pressure.
+- Pen, highlighter (translucent, no thinning) and stroke eraser, with configurable colour palettes; the pen's eraser end erases too.
+- Undo/redo covers ink, erasing and page-tree changes.
+- Strokes are written to the PDF both as Ink annotations and as JSON attachments.
 
 ## 10. Open Items
 
-- [ ] Nothing blocking — ready to move into implementation planning (component breakdown, page-tree data structures in Svelte, PDF encode/decode module)
+- [ ] Conflict copies: sync currently lets the newer version win silently; keep the losing version as a separate file.
+- [ ] Tell the user when a new version of the app has been deployed (the service worker updates, but the open tab keeps old code until reload).
+- [ ] CI that runs `check`, `test` and `build` on every pull request.
+- [ ] Use recorded tilt for rendering.
+- [ ] GitLab sync.
