 - Same task/worktree resumed via start/status; prior project context and peer scopes remain unchanged. Design search recommends soft playful cards; adapt only the approved colors/typography without adding fonts or unrelated layout. Gate passed.
 - Change Renderer styles/header only, preserve generated suggestions, submission and per-agent drafts. Update affected existing tests, visually inspect in a headless fixture, and refresh the running trial in the background where feasible.
 
+## Follow-up Plan: Remove Redundant Footer Copy
+
+- User requests removing the two pictured footer messages: the invitation to type below and the count of omitted earlier messages. Delete only their Renderer presentation; preserve context selection metadata, replies and input behavior.
+- Same-task ownership resumed and verified; previously loaded project context still applies. Refreshed the active peer agent-refresh record: it now implements catalog refresh on top of 862477f in its own checkout and explicitly leaves the running trial alone. Code-path overlap is limited to separate concerns in TeacherChatPanel; no semantic conflict. Gate passed.
+- Remove the two elements, run existing focused verification and compile, then apply equivalent targeted hiding to the running trial without reloading its in-memory drafts or changing focus.
+
 ## Outcome
 
 - Added a cream, rounded introduction card using the published teacher name, avatar and description. Hover or keyboard focus opens one card at a time outside the scrolling topbar; empty descriptions do not create a card. The pointer can enter the card to read long descriptions. Leaving, Escape or clicking the entry closes it; moving inside the clicked entry does not reopen it until a fresh entry.

 - Reply-card follow-up passed 91 existing unit tests, typecheck, changed-file ESLint, production build and whitespace checks. Existing Electron assertions were updated for the removed header but not launched during this follow-up. A headless visual sample using the supplied text verified the actual card CSS at 540px and 320px: 16px font, 28.8px line-height, three expected colors and no horizontal overflow.
 - Live update retained PID 27713 and all current input values; the window remained unfocused and the foreground app PID stayed unchanged. Subsequent read-only DOM inspection confirmed the open consultation header had zero height. No generated follow-up cards were mounted at inspection, so their rendering was verified in the headless sample rather than claimed as a live conversation check. The temporary loopback Node inspector was closed after verification.
 
+- Footer-copy follow-up: removed the redundant invitation to type below and omitted-history message count from TeacherChatPanel; context metadata and other response behavior are unchanged. Existing coding-teacher-ui tests (38) passed, as did typecheck, scoped ESLint and production build. The live trial had three matching footer paragraphs; all three became invisible after the targeted presentation update. PID 27713, current input values and foreground PID were preserved; no reload, message or window activation occurred. Temporary inspector was closed afterward.

 ## Follow-ups
 
 - Integrate this branch when requested; retain this worktree because the updated trial now runs its compiled output. The user can activate the existing `Makelore Teacher Trial` Dock entry to review the interface.
