v0.3 Phase 5c: Dictation layout migration toward the mockup structure

Layout work, not a colour pass. DictationPage's existing 1 282-LOC
structure stays untouched for v0.2; under quietware a new layout
renders via LumotiaPageSkeleton with five zones matching the mockup:

  Capture header   large Record + status + secondary support + timer + pill
  Slim notice      info-classed browser-preview or danger-classed errors
  Primary surface  calm transcript canvas with empty-state typography
  Action bar       Copy / Save / Extract Tasks / Template / Open Viewer
  Mono metadata    Smart · model · Local-only or Browser-preview

Implementation pattern. Gated {#if isQuietware} branch inside the
existing {#if needsDownload}{:else} structure. The new layout
subscribes to ALL existing state bindings (page.recording,
page.timerText, transcript, error, tauriRuntimeAvailable, modelLoading,
settings.*, etc.) and reuses every existing handler:
  toggleRecording, copyAll, saveTypedText, manualExtractTasks,
  applyTemplate, invoke("open_viewer_window")

v0.2 surface unchanged — when data-design="quietware" is absent the
existing control-strip / toolbar / post-capture-card layout renders
as before.

Capture-header.

  - Record button (72 px circular) carries the role-correct
    --button-record-bg (red). Recording state pulses; modelLoading
    shows spinner; non-Tauri state neutral-disabled.
  - Status text uses Young Serif italic. Four states map to
    "Ready to capture" / "Loading model" / "Desktop preview mode"
    / "Recording…".
  - Secondary support text in Work Sans body weight, adapts per state.
  - Timer in JetBrains Mono tabular-nums, right aligned.
  - Status pill appears when useful (recording / transcribing / ready).

Slim notice.

  - Browser-preview renders LumotiaNotice tone="info" slim dismissible
    with the friendly Phase 5b copy.
  - Real errors render tone="danger" slim dismissible.
  - Slot stays empty otherwise — no permanent banner clutter.

Transcript surface.

  - Empty state: 56-px Mic icon, Young Serif italic
    "Talk now, think later.", Work Sans support "Press record, or
    Ctrl+Shift+R." Centred, low-emphasis tertiary text on the calm
    card surface.
  - Populated: scrollable transcript at the user's accessibility
    transcript-size preference.

Bottom action bar.

  - Copy (tertiary), Save (primary blue), Extract Tasks (secondary),
    Template (secondary, applies templates[0] when present), Open
    Viewer (secondary, gated on Tauri).
  - All disabled until transcript has content. Disabled controls
    render neutral with no wireline per the Phase 4k token contract.

Mono metadata footer.

  - Left: "Smart · {model} · Local only" or "Browser preview".
  - Right: "{formatMode} · {activeProfile}".
  - JetBrains Mono, text-tertiary, single line, below the action bar.

What's preserved (no behaviour change).

  - Recording events, hotkey listeners (lumotia:toggle-recording).
  - Tauri runtime branching (tauriRuntimeAvailable, browser-preview state).
  - Live preview hooks (emit("preview-listening") etc.).
  - Task extraction (manualExtractTasks -> extractTasksForTranscript).
  - Template apply (applyTemplate(template)).
  - Copy / Save paths (copyAll, saveTypedText).
  - All existing state bindings on page.*, settings.*, prefs.*.

Out of scope for this commit (queued for follow-up).

  - Files / Tasks / History page migrations (Phases 5d-5f).
  - Real Lumotia wordmark / icon integration (Phase 6).
  - Motion audit (Phase 7).
  - Full Template-picker menu (currently auto-applies templates[0]).

Verified.

  - npm run check: 0 errors, 0 warnings across 5707 files.
  - Headless-Chromium screenshots confirm the new layout renders
    correctly in quietware-dark and quietware-light with the
    disabled-record state (Tauri APIs absent in browser preview),
    slim info notice, and empty-state typography.

+### Phase 5c — Dictation layout migration. Landed 2026-05-15.
+
+The big layout migration. DictationPage's existing 1 282-LOC structure stays untouched for v0.2; under quietware a new layout renders via `LumotiaPageSkeleton` with five zones matching the mockup:
+
+```
+[Capture header]   large Record + status text + secondary support + timer + status pill
+[Slim notice]      info-classed browser-preview or danger-classed real errors
+[Primary surface]  calm transcript canvas with empty-state typography
+[Action bar]       Copy / Save / Extract Tasks / Template / Open Viewer
+[Mono metadata]    Smart · model · Local-only or Browser-preview
+```
+
+Implementation pattern: gated `{#if isQuietware}` branch inside the existing `{#if needsDownload}{:else}` structure. The new layout subscribes to ALL existing state bindings (`page.recording`, `page.timerText`, `transcript`, `error`, `tauriRuntimeAvailable`, `modelLoading`, `settings.*`, etc.) and reuses every handler (`toggleRecording`, `copyAll`, `saveTypedText`, `manualExtractTasks`, `applyTemplate`, `invoke("open_viewer_window")`). v0.2 surface is unchanged.
+
+Capture-header content:
+
+- **Record button** (72 px circular) carries the role-correct fill via `--button-record-bg` (red). Recording state pulses; modelLoading state shows the spinner; non-Tauri state goes neutral-disabled. Hover swaps to `--button-record-border`. Focus-visible ring uses `--button-record-bg` at `--wire-opacity-focus`.
+- **Status text** uses Young Serif italic via `font-display`. Four states: Ready to capture / Loading model / Desktop preview mode / Recording…
+- **Secondary support text** in Work Sans body weight. Adapts per state.
+- **Timer** in JetBrains Mono tabular-nums, right aligned.
+- **Status pill** appears when there is something useful to report (recording / transcribing / ready).
+
+Slim notice:
+
+- Browser-preview message renders as `LumotiaNotice tone="info" slim dismissible` with the friendly Phase 5b copy.
+- Real errors render as `LumotiaNotice tone="danger" slim dismissible`.
+- Notice slot stays empty otherwise — no permanent banner clutter.
+
+Transcript surface:
+
+- Empty state: 56 px Mic icon, Young Serif italic "Talk now, think later.", Work Sans support "Press record, or Ctrl+Shift+R." Centred, low-emphasis tertiary text on the calm card.
+- Populated: scrollable transcript at the user's accessibility transcript size.
+
+Bottom action bar:
+
+- Copy (tertiary), Save (primary blue), Extract Tasks (secondary), Template (secondary, applies templates[0] when present), Open Viewer (secondary, gated on Tauri).
+- All disabled until transcript has content; disabled controls render neutral with no wireline.
+
+Mono metadata footer:
+
+- Left: `Smart · {model} · Local only` or `Browser preview`.
+- Right: `{formatMode} · {activeProfile}`.
+- JetBrains Mono, text-tertiary, single line.
+
+What's preserved (no behaviour change):
+
+- Recording events, hotkey listeners (`lumotia:toggle-recording`).
+- Tauri runtime branching (`tauriRuntimeAvailable`, browser-preview state).
+- Live preview hooks (`emit("preview-listening")` etc.).
+- Task extraction (`manualExtractTasks` → `extractTasksForTranscript`).
+- Template apply (`applyTemplate(template)`).
+- Copy / Save paths (`copyAll`, `saveTypedText`).
+- All existing state bindings on `page.*`, `settings.*`, `prefs.*`.
+
+What is NOT done in this commit (out of scope for Phase 5c):
+
+- Files / Tasks / History page migrations (Phases 5d-5f).
+- Real Lumotia wordmark / icon integration (Phase 6, blocked on SVG).
+- Motion audit + decorative animation strip (Phase 7).
+- Template-picker menu in the bottom action bar (currently auto-applies first template; full menu reserved for a follow-up).
+
+Verified:
+
+- `npm run check`: 0 errors, 0 warnings across 5707 files.
+- Browser-preview screenshots show the new layout rendering correctly with the disabled-record state, slim info notice, and empty-state typography.

 ### Phase 4k — Palette architecture hardening (round-9 redirect). Landed 2026-05-15.
 
 Token-hardening pass. No new visual decisions — just plumbing the tokens correctly so the grammar locked in Phase 4j has a system underneath instead of hand-tuned hex values.
