Chevron Variations — MassGen Timeline

Option A

Always Visible

Current behavior. Chevron always shown on every tool row. Clear affordance but adds visual clutter to every single line.

I need to analyze the existing hero section, interactive components, and closing sections to understand the current design system before making changes.

Reading the current hero section layout and responsive rules to understand the design constraints.

codex_shell cat src/components/Hero.tsx 4ms

Result

import React from 'react'; export function Hero() { return <section>...</section>; }

Checking the lower stylesheet and existing surface styles so I can place overrides cleanly.

codex_shell ×2 11ms

cat src/styles/surfaces.css 5ms

Result

.surface-1 { background: var(--color-surface-1); }

cat src/styles/responsive.css | tail -40 6ms

Result

@media (max-width: 768px) { .hero { padding: 24px 16px; } }

Creating a task plan for the refinement work based on what I found in the stylesheet analysis.

Result

{"status":"ok","improvements":["Refine hero gradient","Add chamber depth"]}

Now that I have the files, I need to patch surgically instead of blindly rewriting...

Now that I have the files, I need to patch the hero and closing sections surgically instead of blindly rewriting.

Copying the candidate deliverable and locating the sections that need structural refinement.

codex_shell ×2 12ms

Result

hero.css:12:.hero-visual { position: relative; }

Finding the existing surface styles so the contrast refinements layer cleanly.

codex_shell grep -n surface src/styles/*.css 1ms

Result

surfaces.css:1:.surface-1 { background: var(--color-surface-1); }

Checking the hero-visual rules before adding a more distinctive chamber treatment.

Option B

No Chevron

Chevron removed entirely. Just dot + name + hint. The pointer cursor and hover background are enough affordance. Cleanest possible.

Option C

Hover Reveal

Chevron is invisible at rest, fades in on hover. Clean at a glance, clear affordance on interaction. Stays visible when expanded.
