`/theme` defaults to `auto`. `vintage` (green) and `amber` are two opt-in phosphor looks: one monochrome palette on a hue, with the glow and the edge falloff of a tube. They are reached through `/theme` only; the header toggle keeps cycling auto, light, dark, and a click from either drops back into that cycle. `/ligatures` applies to the fira and jetbrains fonts only.

## tabs and the status line [#tabs-and-the-status-line]

* Repos open as tabs, each with its own transcript; a streaming explain keeps going while you are on another tab (a dot after the tab name says so)
* The status line under the prompt shows `<provider> · <model>`, then `· effort <level>` where the provider takes effort, then `· <n> tokens` used in this session
* Hover any control for its purpose and shortcut; `/help` lists every key

## how it reads [#how-it-reads]

Like the cli: your command in the accent color, section labels in amber, a green `→` line when something changed, an amber `error:` label with the same plain-words vocabulary as the cli, muted gray for status. Each answer closes with its elapsed time, model, and token cost (`· stopped after 2.1s` if you pressed esc). Motion is short and stops under `prefers-reduced-motion`.
