+```
+
+## Feature 1: Learned Knowledge Service
+
+### What It Does
+
+Persists information across agent sessions:
+- **Preferences**: User's default settings (palette, tool choices)
+- **ROM Patterns**: Learned behaviors (frequently accessed rooms, sprite patterns)
+- **Project Context**: ROM-specific goals and notes
+- **Conversation Memory**: Summaries of past discussions for continuity
+
+### Integration Status: ✅ Complete
+
+**Files**:
+- `cli/service/agent/learned_knowledge_service.{h,cc}` - Core service
+- `cli/handlers/agent/general_commands.cc` - CLI handlers
+- `cli/handlers/agent.cc` - Routing
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+```bash
+# Save preference
+z3ed agent learn --preference default_palette=2
+
+# Get preference
+z3ed agent learn --get-preference default_palette
+
+# Save project context
+z3ed agent learn --project "myrom" --context "Vanilla+ difficulty hack"
+
+# Get project details
+z3ed agent learn --get-project "myrom"
+
+# Search past conversations
+z3ed agent learn --search-memories "dungeon room 5"
+
+# Export all learned data
+z3ed agent learn --export learned_data.json
+
+# View statistics
+z3ed agent learn --stats
+```
+
+### AI Agent Integration
+
+The ConversationalAgentService now:
+1. Initializes `LearnedKnowledgeService` on startup
+2. Can inject learned context into prompts (when `inject_learned_context_=true`)
+3. Can access preferences/patterns/memories during tool execution
+
+**API**:
+```cpp
+ConversationalAgentService service;
+service.learned_knowledge().SetPreference("palette", "2");
+auto pref = service.learned_knowledge().GetPreference("palette");
+```
+
+### Data Persistence
+
+**Location**: `~/.yaze/agent/`  
+**Format**: JSON  
+**Files**:
+- `preferences.json` - Key-value pairs
+- `patterns.json` - Timestamped ROM patterns with confidence scores
+- `projects.json` - Project metadata and context
+- `memories.json` - Conversation summaries (last 100)
+
+## Feature 2: TODO Management System
+
+### What It Does
+
+Enables AI agents to break down complex tasks into executable steps with dependency tracking and prioritization.
+
+### Integration Status: ✅ Complete
+
+**Files**:
+- `cli/service/agent/todo_manager.{h,cc}` - Core service
+- `cli/handlers/agent/todo_commands.{h,cc}` - CLI handlers
+- `cli/handlers/agent.cc` - Routing
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+```bash
+# Create TODO
+z3ed agent todo create "Fix input handling" --category=emulator --priority=1
+
+# List TODOs
+z3ed agent todo list
+
+# Filter by status
+z3ed agent todo list --status=in_progress
+
+# Update status
+z3ed agent todo update 1 --status=completed
+
+# Get next actionable task
+z3ed agent todo next
+
+# Generate dependency-aware execution plan
+z3ed agent todo plan
+
+# Clear completed
+z3ed agent todo clear-completed
+```
+
+### AI Agent Integration
+
+```cpp
+ConversationalAgentService service;
+service.todo_manager().CreateTodo("Debug A button", "emulator", 1);
+auto next = service.todo_manager().GetNextActionableTodo();
+```
+
+### Storage
+
+**Location**: `~/.yaze/agent/todos.json`  
+**Format**: JSON array with dependencies:
+```json
+{
+  "todos": [
+    {
+      "id": "1",
+      "description": "Debug input handling",
+      "status": "in_progress",
+      "category": "emulator",
+      "priority": 1,
+      "dependencies": [],
+      "tools_needed": ["emulator-set-breakpoint", "emulator-read-memory"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Feature 3: Advanced Routing
+
+### What It Does
+
+Optimizes tool responses for AI consumption with:
+- **Data type inference** (sprite data vs tile data vs palette)
+- **Pattern extraction** (repeating values, structures)
+- **Structured summaries** (high-level + detailed + next steps)
+- **GUI action generation** (converts analysis → automation script)
+
+### Integration Status: ⏳ Implemented, Not Integrated
+
+**Files**:
+- `cli/service/agent/advanced_routing.{h,cc}` - Implementation ✅
+- `cli/agent.cmake` - Added to build ✅
+- `cli/service/agent/conversational_agent_service.cc` - **Needs integration** ⏳
+
+### How to Integrate
+
+**Option 1: In ToolDispatcher (Automatic)**
+```cpp
+// In tool_dispatcher.cc, after tool execution:
+auto result = handler->Run(args, rom_context_);
+if (result.ok()) {
+  std::string output = output_buffer.str();
+  
+  // Route through advanced router for enhanced response
+  AdvancedRouter::RouteContext ctx;
+  ctx.rom = rom_context_;
+  ctx.tool_calls_made = {call.tool_name};
+  
+  if (call.tool_name == "hex-read") {
+    auto routed = AdvancedRouter::RouteHexAnalysis(data, address, ctx);
+    return absl::StrCat(routed.summary, "\n\n", routed.detailed_data);
+  }
+  
+  return output;
+}
+```
+
+**Option 2: In ConversationalAgentService (Selective)**
+```cpp
+// After getting tool results, enhance the response:
+ChatMessage ConversationalAgentService::EnhanceResponse(
+    const ChatMessage& response, 
+    const std::string& user_message) {
+  
+  AdvancedRouter::RouteContext ctx;
+  ctx.rom = rom_context_;
+  ctx.user_intent = user_message;
+  
+  // Use advanced router to synthesize multi-tool responses
+  auto routed = AdvancedRouter::SynthesizeMultiToolResponse(
+      tool_results_, ctx);
+  
+  ChatMessage enhanced = response;
+  enhanced.message = routed.summary;
+  // Attach routed.gui_actions as metadata
+  
+  return enhanced;
+}
+```
+
+## Feature 4: Agent Pretraining
+
+### What It Does
+
+Injects structured knowledge into the agent's first message to teach it about:
+- ROM structure (memory map, data formats)
+- Hex analysis patterns (how to recognize sprites, tiles, palettes)
+- Map editing workflows (tile placement, warp creation)
+- Tool usage best practices
+
+### Integration Status: ⏳ Implemented, Not Integrated
+
+**Files**:
+- `cli/service/agent/agent_pretraining.{h,cc}` - Implementation ✅
+- `cli/agent.cmake` - Added to build ✅
+- `cli/service/agent/conversational_agent_service.cc` - **Needs integration** ⏳
+
+### How to Integrate
+
+**In ConversationalAgentService::SendMessage()**:
+```cpp
+absl::StatusOr<ChatMessage> ConversationalAgentService::SendMessage(
+    const std::string& message) {
+  
+  // One-time pretraining injection on first message
+  if (inject_pretraining_ && !pretraining_injected_ && rom_context_) {
+    std::string pretraining = AgentPretraining::GeneratePretrainingPrompt(rom_context_);
+    
+    ChatMessage pretraining_msg;
+    pretraining_msg.sender = ChatMessage::Sender::kUser;
+    pretraining_msg.message = pretraining;
+    pretraining_msg.is_internal = true;  // Don't show to user
+    
+    history_.insert(history_.begin(), pretraining_msg);
+    pretraining_injected_ = true;
+  }
+  
+  // Continue with normal message processing...
+}
+```
+
+### Knowledge Modules
+
+```cpp
+auto modules = AgentPretraining::GetModules();
+for (const auto& module : modules) {
+  std::cout << "Module: " << module.name << std::endl;
+  std::cout << "Required: " << (module.required ? "Yes" : "No") << std::endl;
+  std::cout << module.content << std::endl;
+}
+```
+
+Modules include:
+- `rom_structure` - Memory map, data formats
+- `hex_analysis` - Pattern recognition for sprites/tiles/palettes
+- `map_editing` - Overworld/dungeon editing workflows
+- `tool_usage` - Best practices for tool calling
+
+## Feature 5: Agent Handoff
+
+### Concept
+
+**Handoff** allows transitioning control between:
+1. **CLI → GUI**: Start debugging in terminal, continue in editor
+2. **Agent → Agent**: Specialized agents for different tasks
+3. **Human → AI**: Let AI continue work autonomously
+
+### Implementation Status: 🚧 Architecture Defined
+
+### Handoff Data Structure
+
+```cpp
+struct HandoffContext {
+  std::string handoff_id;
+  std::string source_agent;
+  std::string target_agent;
+  
+  // State preservation
+  std::vector<ChatMessage> conversation_history;
+  Rom* rom_snapshot;  // ROM state at handoff
+  std::vector<uint32_t> active_breakpoints;
+  std::map<std::string, std::string> variables;  // Key findings
+  
+  // Task context
+  std::vector<TodoItem> remaining_todos;
+  std::string current_goal;
+  std::string progress_summary;
+  
+  // Tool state
+  std::vector<std::string> tools_used;
+  std::map<std::string, std::string> cached_results;
+};
+```
+
+### Implementation Plan
+
+**Phase 1: State Serialization**
+- [ ] Serialize ConversationalAgentService state to JSON
+- [ ] Include learned knowledge, TODOs, breakpoints
+- [ ] Generate handoff token (UUID + encrypted state)
+
+**Phase 2: Cross-Surface Handoff**
+- [ ] CLI saves handoff to `~/.yaze/agent/handoffs/<token>.json`
+- [ ] GUI Agent Chat widget can import handoff
+- [ ] Restore full conversation + tool state
+
+**Phase 3: Specialized Agents**
+- [ ] Define agent personas (EmulatorDebugAgent, ROMHackAgent, TestAgent)
+- [ ] Implement handoff protocol (request → accept → execute → return)
+- [ ] Add handoff commands to CLI

+## Completed Improvements
+
+### Audio System Fixes (v0.4.0) ✅
+
+#### Problem Statement
+The SNES emulator experienced audio glitchiness and skips, particularly during the ALTTP title screen, with audible pops, crackling, and sample skipping during music playback.
+
+#### Root Causes Fixed
+1. **Aggressive Sample Dropping**: Audio buffering logic was dropping up to 50% of generated samples, creating discontinuities
+2. **Incorrect Resampling**: Duplicate calculations in linear interpolation wasted CPU cycles
+3. **Missing Frame Synchronization**: DSP's `NewFrame()` method was never called, causing timing drift
+4. **Missing Hermite Interpolation**: Only Linear/Cosine/Cubic were available (Hermite is the industry standard)
+
+#### Solutions Implemented
+1. **Never Drop Samples**: Always queue all generated samples unless buffer critically full (>4 frames)
+2. **Fixed Resampling Code**: Removed duplicate calculations and added bounds checking
+3. **Frame Boundary Synchronization**: Added `dsp.NewFrame()` call before sample generation
+4. **Hermite Interpolation**: New interpolation type matching bsnes/Snes9x standard
+
+**Performance Comparison**:
+| Interpolation | Quality | Speed | Use Case |
+|--------------|---------|-------|----------|
+| Linear | ⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Low-end hardware only |
+| **Hermite** | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | **Recommended default** |
+| Cosine | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | Smooth but slow |
+| Cubic | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ | Maximum accuracy |
+
+**Result**: Smooth, glitch-free audio matching real SNES hardware quality.
+
+**Testing**: Validated on ALTTP title screen, overworld theme, dungeon ambience, and menu sounds.
+
+**Status**: ✅ Production Ready
+
+---
+
 ## Implementation Priority
 
 1. **Critical (v0.4.0):** APU timing fix - Required for music playback

+z3ed emulator get-metrics
+```
+
+## Real-World Example: Debugging ALTTP Input Issues
+
+### Problem Statement
+
+ALTTP's name entry screen doesn't respond to A button presses. Other screens work fine. This suggests an edge-triggered input detection issue specific to the name entry menu.
+
+### AI Agent Debugging Session
+
+**Step 1: Set up observation points**
+
+```bash
+# AI Agent: "Let's monitor where ALTTP reads joypad data"
+
+# Set breakpoint at NMI_ReadJoypads routine
+z3ed emulator set-breakpoint --address 0x0083D7 --type execute \
+    --description "NMI_ReadJoypads entry"
+
+# Set breakpoint at name entry input check
+z3ed emulator set-breakpoint --address 0x00CDB2A --type execute \
+    --description "Name entry input handler"
+```
+
+**Step 2: Monitor joypad WRAM variables**
+
+```bash
+# AI Agent: "I'll watch the joypad state variables during input"
+
+# Watch $F4 (newly pressed buttons - high byte)
+z3ed emulator read-memory --address 0x7E00F4 --length 1
+
+# Watch $F6 (newly pressed buttons - low byte, includes A button)
+z3ed emulator read-memory --address 0x7E00F6 --length 1
+
+# Watch $4218/$4219 (hardware auto-joypad registers)
+z3ed emulator read-memory --address 0x4218 --length 2
+```
+
+**Step 3: Single-step through NMI routine**
+
+```bash
+# AI Agent: "Let's trace the NMI execution when A is pressed"
+
+# Pause emulator
+z3ed emulator pause
+
+# Step through NMI_ReadJoypads
+for i in {1..20}; do
+    z3ed emulator step
+    z3ed emulator get-registers | jq '.PC'
+    z3ed emulator read-memory --address 0x7E00F6 --length 1
+done
+```
+
+**Step 4: Compare auto-joypad vs manual reads**
+
+```bash
+# AI Agent: "The hardware specs say $4218 is populated by auto-joypad read"
+# AI Agent: "Let's check if auto-joypad is enabled"
+
+# Read $4200 (NMITIMEN - auto-joypad enable bit 0)
+z3ed emulator read-memory --address 0x4200 --length 1
+
+# If auto-joypad is enabled, check timing
+# Set breakpoint when $4218 is populated
+z3ed emulator set-breakpoint --address 0x004218 --type write \
+    --description "Auto-joypad data written"
+```
+
+**Step 5: Identify root cause**
+
+```bash
+# AI Agent discovers:
+# 1. current_state_ = 0x0100 (A button at bit 8) ✓
+# 2. port_auto_read[0] = 0x0080 (bit 7) ✗ BUG!
+# 3. The bit-reversal loop shifts A from bit 8→bit 7
+# 4. Game reads $4218 expecting A at bit 7 (per hardware spec)
+# 5. But our mapping puts A at bit 8, which becomes bit 7 after reversal!
+
+# Solution: Check button bit positions in current_state_
+z3ed emulator read-memory --address <input1.current_state_> --length 2
+```
+
+### Findings
+
+The AI agent can systematically:
+1. Set breakpoints at critical routines
+2. Monitor WRAM variables frame-by-frame
+3. Step through assembly code execution  
+4. Compare hardware register values
+5. Identify timing discrepancies
+6. Root-cause bit mapping bugs
+
+## Advanced Use Cases
+
+### Watchpoints for Input Debugging
+
+```bash
+# Watch when $F4/$F6 are written (edge-detection happens here)
+z3ed emulator add-watchpoint --address 0x7E00F4 --length 4 \
+    --track-writes --break-on-access \
+    --description "Joypad edge-detection WRAM"
+
+# Get access history
+z3ed emulator get-watchpoint-history --id 1 --max-entries 100
+```
+
+### Symbol-Based Debugging (with Oracle of Secrets disassembly)
+
+```bash
+# Load symbols from disassembly
+z3ed emulator load-symbols --file assets/asm/alttp/bank_00.sym --format asar
+
+# Set breakpoint by symbol name
+z3ed emulator set-breakpoint --symbol "NMI_ReadJoypads"
+
+# Resolve symbol at runtime
+z3ed emulator get-symbol-at --address 0x0083D7
+# Output: "NMI_ReadJoypads"
+```
+
+### Automated Test Scripts
+
+The AI can generate debugging scripts:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# debug_name_entry_input.sh
+# Generated by AI agent to systematically test input flow
+
+echo "=== ALTTP Name Entry Input Debug Script ==="
+
+# 1. Start emulator and navigate to name entry screen
+z3ed emulator run --rom zelda3.sfc
+z3ed emulator press-buttons --buttons START # Get to file select
+sleep 1
+z3ed emulator press-buttons --buttons A     # Select new game
+sleep 2  # Wait for name entry screen
+
+# 2. Set up monitoring
+z3ed emulator set-breakpoint --address 0x0083D7 --description "NMI read"
+z3ed emulator set-breakpoint --address 0x00CDB2A --description "Name entry input"
+
+# 3. Test A button press with monitoring
+echo "Pressing A button..."
+z3ed emulator press-buttons --buttons A
+
+# 4. Check state immediately after
+z3ed emulator read-memory --address 0x7E00F4 --length 4 --format json > joypad_state.json
+z3ed emulator read-memory --address 0x4218 --length 2 >> joypad_state.json
+z3ed emulator get-registers >> joypad_state.json
+
+# 5. Analyze results
+echo "Results saved to joypad_state.json"
+cat joypad_state.json | jq '.'
+```
+
+## Benefits for AI-Driven Debugging
+
+### Before (Manual Print Debugging)
+
+1. Add `LOG_DEBUG()` statements manually
+2. Rebuild C++ code (slow)
+3. Run emulator and capture logs
+4. Parse terminal output
+5. Iterate with more logging
+6. **Requires C++ knowledge and build tools**
+
+### After (AI Agent with gRPC Service)
+
+1. AI asks: "Why doesn't A button work in name entry?"
+2. AI uses tools to inspect memory and set breakpoints
+3. AI steps through execution and reads state
+4. AI identifies discrepancy (bit 7 vs bit 8)
+5. AI suggests fix or generates test case
+6. **No rebuild needed, works from CLI or chat**
+
+## Integration with Agent Chat Widget
+
+The same gRPC service is accessible from the Agent Chat widget inside YAZE:
+
+```
+User: "Debug why A button doesn't work in name entry screen"
+
+AI: I'll set up monitoring for the joypad input flow.
+    [Calling: emulator-set-breakpoint address=0x0083D7]
+    ✓ Breakpoint 1 set at NMI_ReadJoypads
+    
+    [Calling: emulator-read-memory address=0x7E00F4 length=4]
+    ✓ Read joypad WRAM: F4=00 F5=00 F6=00 F7=00
+    
+    Now press the A button...
+    
+    [Calling: emulator-read-memory address=0x4218 length=2]
+    ✓ Auto-joypad registers: $4218=00 $4219=00
+    
+    I see the issue! The auto-joypad registers are reading zero even though
+    current_state_ has the A button set. Let me check the HandleInput() 
+    function...
+    
+    [Calling: emulator-get-registers]
+    ✓ PC=$00:83D7 (inside NMI_ReadJoypads)
+    
+    The game is reading $4218 at PC=$83D7, but port_auto_read[0] is empty.
+    This suggests HandleInput() isn't being called before the NMI routine,
+    or the auto-joypad data is being cleared prematurely.
+```

+
+## Practical Debugging Workflow
+
+### Scenario: Input Button Not Registering
+
+**Problem**: A button works on title screen but not on name entry screen.
+
+**AI Agent Approach**:
+
+1. **Hypothesis Formation**
+   ```
+   AI: The A button works elsewhere, so the input backend is functional.
+       The name entry screen likely uses edge-triggered input detection.
+       Let's verify where the game reads input state.
+   ```
+
+2. **Set Observation Points**
+   ```bash
+   z3ed emulator set-breakpoint --address 0x0083D7 --description "NMI start"
+   z3ed emulator set-breakpoint --address 0x00CDB2A --description "Name entry input check"
+   ```
+
+3. **Monitor Key Variables**
+   ```bash
+   # Check if auto-joypad is enabled
+   z3ed emulator read-memory --address 0x4200 --length 1
+   # Output: 0x81 (NMI=1, AutoJoy=1) ✓
+   
+   # Check current controller state
+   z3ed emulator read-memory --address <input1.current_state_> --length 2
+   # Output: 0x0100 (A button active) ✓
+   
+   # Check auto-joypad registers
+   z3ed emulator read-memory --address 0x4218 --length 2
+   # Output: 0x0000 (EMPTY!) ✗
+   ```
+
+4. **Step Through Critical Code**
+   ```bash
+   # Run until breakpoint
+   z3ed emulator run --until-break
+   # Hit: Breakpoint 1 at 0x0083D7 (NMI_ReadJoypads)
+   
+   # Step through the LDA $4218 instruction
+   z3ed emulator step
+   z3ed emulator get-registers
+   # PC=0x83DA, A=0x00 (loaded zero from $4218!)
+   ```
+
+5. **Root Cause Analysis**
+   ```
+   AI: The game's NMI routine reads $4218 and gets zero, even though
+       current_state_=0x0100. This means HandleInput() either:
+       a) Isn't being called before NMI
+       b) Is clearing port_auto_read[] multiple times
+       c) Has a bit mapping bug
+       
+       Let's check HandleInput() call frequency...
+   ```
+
+6. **Verification**
+   ```bash
+   # Set watchpoint on port_auto_read[] writes
+   z3ed emulator add-watchpoint --address <port_auto_read_> --length 8 \
+       --track-writes --description "Auto-joypad buffer writes"
+   
+   # Get history to see how many times it's written per frame
+   z3ed emulator get-watchpoint-history --id 1 --max-entries 100
+   
+   # AI discovers: HandleInput() is called 10+ times per frame!
+   # Each call clears port_auto_read[], so by the time NMI reads it, it's empty.
+   ```
+
+### Solution Discovery
+
+The AI can propose fixes:
+
+```
+AI: The root cause is that HandleInput() clears port_auto_read[] at the start,
+    and it's being called multiple times per frame. By the time the NMI reads
+    $4218/$4219, the data has been cleared by a subsequent HandleInput() call.
+    
+    Solution: HandleInput() should only be called ONCE per VBlank, not continuously.
+    
+    Would you like me to:
+    a) Generate a patch for snes.cc to fix the timing
+    b) Create a test case to verify the fix
+    c) Add a watchpoint to monitor when port_auto_read[] is written
+```
+
+## Comparison: Print Debugging vs AI-Driven Debugging
+
+| Aspect | Print Debugging | AI Agent Debugging |
+|--------|----------------|-------------------|
+| **Time to first hypothesis** | Hours (requires code reading) | Minutes (AI analyzes structure) |
+| **Iteration speed** | Slow (edit→rebuild→run) | Fast (set breakpoint→read state) |
+| **Code knowledge required** | High (C++ emulator internals) | Low (AI translates to tool calls) |
+| **Reproducibility** | Poor (manual steps) | Excellent (scripted tool sequence) |
+| **Collaboration** | Hard (share logs) | Easy (share tool call JSON) |
+| **Learning curve** | Steep (emulator architecture) | Gentle (natural language questions) |
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+### Memory Overhead
+- **BreakpointManager**: ~50 bytes per breakpoint
+- **DisassemblyViewer**: ~100 bytes per recorded instruction (sparse map)
+- **gRPC Service**: ~1KB base overhead
+- **Total**: Negligible (<1MB for typical debugging session)
+
+### CPU Overhead
+- Breakpoint checking: ~1 cycle per execute breakpoint per instruction
+- Memory watchpoints: ~2-5 cycles per memory access (when integrated)
+- Disassembly recording: ~10 cycles per instruction (when enabled)
+- **Impact**: <1% on 60 FPS target
+
+### Network Latency
+- gRPC call latency: 1-5ms (local)
+- Step + GetState round-trip: ~10ms
+- Acceptable for interactive debugging (not real-time gameplay)
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Phase 2 (Next 2-4 weeks)
+
+1. **WatchpointManager Integration**
+   - Add `watchpoint_manager_` to `Emulator` class
+   - Implement memory access hooks in `Snes::Read/Write`
+   - Complete watchpoint gRPC methods
+   - Add CLI command handlers
+
+2. **Symbol Management**
+   - Load .sym files from Asar/WLA-DX
+   - Resolve symbols to addresses
+   - Reverse lookup (address → symbol name)
+   - Integration with Oracle of Secrets disassembly
+
+3. **Execution Trace**
+   - Ring buffer for last N instructions
+   - Export to JSON/CSV
+   - Hotpath analysis
+   - Call stack reconstruction
+
+4. **Step Over/Step Out**
+   - Track JSR/JSL calls
+   - Automatically run until RTS/RTL
+   - Nested call depth tracking
+
+### Phase 3 (1-2 months)
+
+1. **Time-Travel Debugging**
+   - Record full execution state
+   - Replay from savepoints
+   - Reverse execution
+
+2. **Performance Profiling**
+   - Instruction-level profiling
+   - Memory access heatmaps
+   - Function call graphs
+
+3. **AI Test Generation**
+   - Auto-generate test cases from debugging sessions
+   - Regression test suites
+   - Automated bisection for bug finding
+
+## AI Agent System Prompt Extension
+
+Add this to the AI's system prompt for emulator debugging:
+
+```
+You have access to a comprehensive SNES emulator debugging service via gRPC.
+When investigating emulation bugs or game behavior:
+
+1. Set breakpoints at key routines (NMI, input handlers, game logic)
+2. Monitor critical WRAM variables ($F4/$F6 for input, $0010 for game mode)
+3. Read hardware registers ($4xxx) to check peripheral state
+4. Step through assembly execution to trace data flow
+5. Use watchpoints to find where variables are modified
+6. Compare expected vs actual values at each step
+
+For input issues specifically:
+- Check $4200 bit 0 (auto-joypad enable)
+- Monitor $4218/$4219 (auto-joypad data registers)
+- Watch $F4/$F6 (WRAM joypad state populated by NMI)
+- Verify current_state_ → port_auto_read[] → $4218 data flow
+
+Always prefer using debugging tools over print statements. Generate scripts
+for reproducible debugging sessions.
+```

+## 1. Introduction
+
+### Purpose
+
+This guide establishes GUI consistency standards to ensure all editors in yaze provide a unified, modern user experience with maintainable code. The card-based architecture allows editors to present multiple independent windows that can be opened, closed, minimized, and managed independently.
+
+### Benefits
+
+- **User Experience**: Consistent keyboard shortcuts, visual styling, and interaction patterns
+- **Maintainability**: Reusable components reduce duplication and bugs
+- **Modularity**: Independent cards can be developed and tested separately
+- **Flexibility**: Users can arrange their workspace as needed
+- **Discoverability**: Central EditorCardManager makes all features accessible
+
+### Target Audience
+
+Contributors working on:
+- New editor implementations
+- Refactoring existing editors
+- Adding new UI features to editors
+- Improving user experience consistency
+
+## 2. Card-Based Architecture
+
+### Philosophy
+
+Modern yaze editors use **independent, modular windows** called "cards" rather than traditional tab-based or fixed-layout UIs. Each card:
+
+- Is a top-level ImGui window (not a child window)
+- Can be opened/closed independently via keyboard shortcuts
+- Can be minimized to a floating icon
+- Registers with `EditorCardManager` for centralized control
+- Has its own visibility flag synchronized with the manager
+
+### Core Components
+
+#### EditorCardManager
+
+Central singleton registry for all editor cards across the application.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Global card registration with metadata
+- Keyboard shortcut management
+- View menu integration
+- Workspace preset system
+- Programmatic card control
+
+**Registration Example:**
+```cpp
+void MyEditor::Initialize() {
+  auto& card_manager = gui::EditorCardManager::Get();
+
+  card_manager.RegisterCard({
+      .card_id = "myeditor.control_panel",
+      .display_name = "My Editor Controls",
+      .icon = ICON_MD_SETTINGS,
+      .category = "MyEditor",
+      .shortcut_hint = "Ctrl+Shift+M",
+      .visibility_flag = &show_control_panel_,
+      .priority = 10
+  });
+
+  // Register more cards...
+}
+```
+
+#### EditorCard
+
+Wrapper class for individual card windows with Begin/End pattern.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Automatic positioning (Right, Left, Bottom, Floating, Free)
+- Default size management
+- Minimize/maximize support
+- Focus management
+- Docking control
+
+**Usage Pattern:**
+```cpp
+void MyEditor::DrawMyCard() {
+  gui::EditorCard card("Card Title", ICON_MD_ICON, &show_card_);
+  card.SetDefaultSize(400, 300);
+  card.SetPosition(gui::EditorCard::Position::Right);
+
+  if (card.Begin(&show_card_)) {
+    // Draw card content here
+    ImGui::Text("Card content");
+  }
+  card.End();
+}
+```
+
+### Visibility Flag Synchronization
+
+Critical pattern for proper card behavior:
+
+```cpp
+absl::Status MyEditor::Update() {
+  // For each card, sync visibility flags
+  if (show_my_card_ && my_card_instance_) {
+    // Ensure internal show_ flag is set
+    if (!my_card_instance_->IsVisible()) {
+      my_card_instance_->Show();
+    }
+
+    my_card_instance_->Draw();
+
+    // Sync back if user closed with X button
+    if (!my_card_instance_->IsVisible()) {
+      show_my_card_ = false;
+    }
+  }
+
+  return absl::OkStatus();
+}
+```
+
+### Reference Implementations
+
+**Best Examples:**
+- `src/app/editor/dungeon/dungeon_editor_v2.cc` - Gold standard implementation
+- `src/app/editor/palette/palette_editor.cc` - Recently refactored, clean patterns
+
+**Key Patterns from Dungeon Editor v2:**
+- Independent top-level cards (no parent wrapper)
+- Control panel with minimize-to-icon
+- Toolset integration
+- Proper card registration with shortcuts
+- Room cards in separate docking class
+
+## 3. Toolset System
+
+### Overview
+
+`gui::Toolset` provides an ultra-compact toolbar that merges mode buttons with inline settings. It's designed for minimal vertical space usage while maximizing functionality.
+
+**Design Philosophy:**
+- Single horizontal bar with everything inline
+- Small icon-only buttons for modes
+- Inline property editing (InputHex with scroll)
+- Vertical separators for visual grouping
+- No wasted space
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```cpp
+void MyEditor::DrawToolset() {
+  static gui::Toolset toolbar;
+  toolbar.Begin();
+
+  // Add toggle buttons for cards
+  if (toolbar.AddToggle(ICON_MD_LIST, &show_list_, "Show List (Ctrl+1)")) {
+    // Optional: React to toggle
+  }
+
+  if (toolbar.AddToggle(ICON_MD_GRID_VIEW, &show_grid_, "Show Grid (Ctrl+2)")) {
+    // Toggled
+  }
+
+  toolbar.AddSeparator();
+
+  // Add action buttons
+  if (toolbar.AddAction(ICON_MD_SAVE, "Save All")) {
+    SaveAllChanges();
+  }
+
+  if (toolbar.AddAction(ICON_MD_REFRESH, "Reload")) {
+    ReloadData();
+  }
+
+  toolbar.End();
+}
+```
+
+### Advanced Features
+
+**Inline Property Editing:**
+```cpp
+// Hex properties with scroll wheel support
+toolbar.AddProperty(ICON_MD_PALETTE, "Palette", &palette_id_,
+                   []() { OnPaletteChanged(); });
+
+toolbar.AddProperty(ICON_MD_IMAGE, "GFX", &gfx_id_,
+                   []() { OnGfxChanged(); });
+```
+
+**Mode Button Groups:**
+```cpp
+toolbar.BeginModeGroup();
+bool draw_mode = toolbar.ModeButton(ICON_MD_BRUSH, mode_ == Mode::Draw, "Draw");
+bool erase_mode = toolbar.ModeButton(ICON_MD_DELETE, mode_ == Mode::Erase, "Erase");
+bool select_mode = toolbar.ModeButton(ICON_MD_SELECT, mode_ == Mode::Select, "Select");
+toolbar.EndModeGroup();
+
+if (draw_mode) mode_ = Mode::Draw;
+if (erase_mode) mode_ = Mode::Erase;
+if (select_mode) mode_ = Mode::Select;
+```
+
+**Version Badges:**
+```cpp
+// For ROM version indicators
+toolbar.AddRomBadge(rom_->asm_version(), []() {
+  ShowUpgradeDialog();
+});
+
+toolbar.AddV3StatusBadge(rom_->asm_version(), []() {
+  ShowV3Settings();
+});
+```
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep it compact**: Only essential controls belong in the Toolset
+2. **Use icons**: Prefer icon-only buttons with tooltips
+3. **Group logically**: Use separators to group related controls
+4. **Provide shortcuts**: Include keyboard shortcuts in tooltips
+5. **Consistent ordering**: Toggles first, properties second, actions third
+
+## 4. Themed Widget System
+
+### Philosophy
+
+**Never use hardcoded colors.** All UI elements must derive colors from the central theme system to ensure consistency and support for future dark/light theme switching.
+
+### Themed Widget Prefixes
+
+All theme-aware widgets are prefixed with `Themed*`:
+
+**Available Widgets:**
+- `ThemedButton()` - Standard button with theme colors
+- `ThemedIconButton()` - Icon-only button
+- `PrimaryButton()` - Emphasized primary action (e.g., Save)
+- `DangerButton()` - Dangerous action (e.g., Delete, Discard)
+- `SectionHeader()` - Visual section divider with text
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+```cpp
+#include "app/gui/themed_widgets.h"
+
+using gui::ThemedButton;
+using gui::ThemedIconButton;
+using gui::PrimaryButton;
+using gui::DangerButton;
+using gui::SectionHeader;
+
+void MyCard::DrawContent() {
+  SectionHeader("Settings");
+
+  if (PrimaryButton("Save Changes", ImVec2(-1, 0))) {
+    SaveToRom();
+  }
+
+  if (DangerButton("Discard All", ImVec2(-1, 0))) {
+    DiscardChanges();
+  }
+
+  ImGui::Separator();
+
+  SectionHeader("Quick Actions");
+
+  if (ThemedIconButton(ICON_MD_REFRESH, "Reload")) {
+    Reload();
+  }
+
+  ImGui::SameLine();
+
+  if (ThemedIconButton(ICON_MD_COPY, "Duplicate")) {
+    Duplicate();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Theme Colors
+
+Access theme colors via `AgentUITheme` (despite the name, it's used project-wide):
+
+```cpp
+#include "app/editor/agent/agent_ui_theme.h"
+
+void DrawCustomUI() {
+  const auto& theme = AgentUI::GetTheme();
+
+  // Use semantic colors
+  ImGui::PushStyleColor(ImGuiCol_ChildBg, theme.panel_bg_color);
+  ImGui::PushStyleColor(ImGuiCol_Text, theme.text_color);
+
+  // Draw content
+  ImGui::BeginChild("MyPanel");
+  ImGui::Text("Themed panel content");
+  ImGui::EndChild();
+
+  ImGui::PopStyleColor(2);
+}
+```
+
+**Common Theme Colors:**
+- `panel_bg_color` - Background for panels
+- `text_color` - Primary text
+- `text_dim_color` - Secondary/disabled text
+- `accent_color` - Highlights and accents
+- `status_success` - Success indicators (green)
+- `status_warning` - Warning indicators (yellow)
+- `status_error` - Error indicators (red)
+
+### Migration from Hardcoded Colors
+
+**Before (Bad):**
+```cpp
+ImGui::PushStyleColor(ImGuiCol_ChildBg, ImVec4(0.2f, 0.2f, 0.25f, 1.0f));
+ImGui::TextColored(ImVec4(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), "Error!");
+```
+
+**After (Good):**
+```cpp
+const auto& theme = AgentUI::GetTheme();
+ImGui::PushStyleColor(ImGuiCol_ChildBg, theme.panel_bg_color);
+ImGui::TextColored(theme.status_error, "Error!");
+```
+
+## 5. Begin/End Patterns
+
+### Philosophy
+
+All resource-managing UI elements use the Begin/End pattern for RAII-style cleanup. This prevents resource leaks and ensures proper ImGui state management.
+
+### EditorCard Begin/End
+
+**Pattern:**
+```cpp
+void DrawMyCard() {
+  gui::EditorCard card("Title", ICON_MD_ICON, &show_flag_);
+  card.SetDefaultSize(400, 300);
+
+  // Begin returns false if window is collapsed/hidden
+  if (card.Begin(&show_flag_)) {
+    // Draw content only when visible
+    DrawCardContent();
+  }
+  // End MUST be called regardless of Begin result
+  card.End();
+}
+```
+
+**Critical Rules:**
+1. Always call `End()` even if `Begin()` returns false
+2. Put Begin/End calls in same scope for exception safety
+3. Check Begin() return value before expensive drawing
+4. Pass `p_open` to both constructor and Begin() for proper close button handling
+
+### ImGui Native Begin/End
+
+**Window Pattern:**
+```cpp
+void DrawWindow() {
+  ImGui::SetNextWindowSize(ImVec2(400, 300), ImGuiCond_FirstUseEver);
+
+  if (ImGui::Begin("Window Title", &show_window_)) {
+    // Draw window content
+    ImGui::Text("Content");
+  }
+  ImGui::End();  // ALWAYS call, even if Begin returns false
+}
+```
+
+**Table Pattern:**
+```cpp
+if (ImGui::BeginTable("##MyTable", 3, ImGuiTableFlags_Borders)) {
+  ImGui::TableSetupColumn("Column 1");
+  ImGui::TableSetupColumn("Column 2");
+  ImGui::TableSetupColumn("Column 3");
+  ImGui::TableHeadersRow();
+
+  for (int row = 0; row < 10; row++) {
+    ImGui::TableNextRow();
+    for (int col = 0; col < 3; col++) {
+      ImGui::TableNextColumn();
+      ImGui::Text("Cell %d,%d", row, col);
+    }
+  }
+
+  ImGui::EndTable();
+}
+```
+
+**Child Window Pattern:**
+```cpp
+if (ImGui::BeginChild("##ScrollRegion", ImVec2(0, 200), true)) {
+  // Scrollable content
+  for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
+    ImGui::Text("Item %d", i);
+  }
+}
+ImGui::EndChild();
+```
+
+### Toolset Begin/End
+
+```cpp
+void DrawToolbar() {
+  static gui::Toolset toolbar;
+
+  toolbar.Begin();
+  // Add toolbar items
+  toolbar.AddToggle(ICON_MD_ICON, &flag_, "Tooltip");
+  toolbar.End();  // Finalizes layout
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+**With Status Returns:**
+```cpp
+absl::Status DrawEditor() {
+  gui::EditorCard card("Editor", ICON_MD_EDIT);
+
+  if (card.Begin()) {
+    RETURN_IF_ERROR(DrawContent());  // Can early return
+  }
+  card.End();  // Still called via normal flow
+
+  return absl::OkStatus();
+}
+```
+
+**Exception Safety:**
+```cpp
+// If exceptions are enabled, use RAII wrappers
+struct ScopedCard {
+  gui::EditorCard& card;
+  explicit ScopedCard(gui::EditorCard& c) : card(c) { card.Begin(); }
+  ~ScopedCard() { card.End(); }
+};
+```
+
+## 6. Layout Helpers
+
+### Overview
+
+`app/gui/layout_helpers.h` provides utilities for consistent spacing, sizing, and layout across all editors.
+
+### Standard Input Widths
+
+```cpp
+#include "app/gui/layout_helpers.h"
+
+using gui::LayoutHelpers;
+
+void DrawSettings() {
+  ImGui::Text("Property:");
+  ImGui::SameLine();
+
+  // Standard width for input fields (120px)
+  ImGui::SetNextItemWidth(LayoutHelpers::GetStandardInputWidth());
+  ImGui::InputInt("##value", &my_value_);
+}
+```
+
+### Help Markers
+
+```cpp
+ImGui::Text("Complex Setting");
+ImGui::SameLine();
+LayoutHelpers::HelpMarker(
+  "This is a detailed explanation of what this setting does. "
+  "It appears as a tooltip when hovering the (?) icon."
+);
+```
+
+### Spacing Utilities
+
+```cpp
+// Vertical spacing
+LayoutHelpers::VerticalSpacing(10.0f);  // 10px vertical space
+
+// Horizontal spacing
+ImGui::SameLine();
+LayoutHelpers::HorizontalSpacing(20.0f);  // 20px horizontal space
+
+// Separator with text
+LayoutHelpers::SeparatorText("Section Name");
+```
+
+### Responsive Layout
+
+```cpp
+// Get available width
+float available_width = ImGui::GetContentRegionAvail().x;
+
+// Calculate dynamic widths
+float button_width = available_width * 0.5f;  // 50% of available
+
+if (ImGui::Button("Full Width", ImVec2(-1, 0))) {
+  // -1 = fill available width
+}
+
+if (ImGui::Button("Half Width", ImVec2(button_width, 0))) {
+  // Fixed to 50%
+}
+```
+
+### Grid Layouts
+
+```cpp
+// Two-column grid
+if (ImGui::BeginTable("##Grid", 2, ImGuiTableFlags_SizingStretchSame)) {
+  ImGui::TableNextRow();
+  ImGui::TableNextColumn();
+  ImGui::Text("Label 1:");
+  ImGui::TableNextColumn();
+  ImGui::InputText("##input1", buffer1, sizeof(buffer1));
+
+  ImGui::TableNextRow();
+  ImGui::TableNextColumn();
+  ImGui::Text("Label 2:");
+  ImGui::TableNextColumn();
+  ImGui::InputText("##input2", buffer2, sizeof(buffer2));
+
+  ImGui::EndTable();
+}
+```
+
+## 7. Future Editor Improvements
+
+This section outlines specific improvements needed for each editor to achieve GUI consistency.
+
+### Graphics Editor
+
+**Current State:** Tab-based UI with multiple editing modes mixed together
+
+**Needed Improvements:**
+1. Remove tab-based UI
+2. Create independent cards:
+   - `GraphicsSheetCard` - Sheet selection and editing
+   - `TitleScreenCard` - Title screen graphics editor
+   - `PaletteEditCard` - Integrated palette editing
+   - `SheetPropertiesCard` - Sheet metadata and properties
+3. Register all cards with `EditorCardManager`
+4. Add `Toolset` for mode switching (Draw/Erase/Select)
+5. Implement keyboard shortcuts:
+   - `Ctrl+Shift+G` - Graphics Control Panel
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+1` - Graphics Sheets
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+2` - Title Screen
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+3` - Palette Editor
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+4` - Sheet Properties
+
+**Migration Steps:**
+```cpp
+// 1. Add visibility flags
+bool show_control_panel_ = true;
+bool show_graphics_sheets_ = false;
+bool show_title_screen_ = false;
+bool show_palette_editor_ = false;
+
+// 2. Register in Initialize()
+void GraphicsEditor::Initialize() {
+  auto& card_manager = gui::EditorCardManager::Get();
+
+  card_manager.RegisterCard({
+      .card_id = "graphics.control_panel",
+      .display_name = "Graphics Controls",
+      .icon = ICON_MD_IMAGE,
+      .category = "Graphics",
+      .shortcut_hint = "Ctrl+Shift+G",
+      .visibility_flag = &show_control_panel_,
+      .priority = 10
+  });
+  // Register other cards...
+}
+
+// 3. Create card classes
+class GraphicsSheetCard {
+public:
+  void Draw();
+  // ...
+};
+
+// 4. Update Update() method to draw cards
+absl::Status GraphicsEditor::Update() {
+  if (show_control_panel_) {
+    DrawControlPanel();
+  }
+
+  if (show_graphics_sheets_) {
+    DrawGraphicsSheetsCard();
+  }
+  // Draw other cards...
+
+  return absl::OkStatus();
+}
+```
+
+### Sprite Editor
+
+**Current State:** Mixed UI with embedded viewers
+
+**Needed Improvements:**
+1. Convert to card-based architecture
+2. Create independent cards:
+   - `SpriteListCard` - Searchable sprite list
+   - `SpritePropertiesCard` - Sprite properties editor
+   - `SpritePreviewCard` - Visual sprite preview
+   - `SpriteAnimationCard` - Animation frame editor
+3. Add `Toolset` with sprite type filters
+4. Implement keyboard shortcuts:
+   - `Ctrl+Shift+S` - Sprite Control Panel
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+1` - Sprite List
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+2` - Sprite Properties
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+3` - Preview Window
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+4` - Animation Editor
+
+### Message Editor
+
+**Current State:** Partially card-based, needs consistency
+
+**Needed Improvements:**
+1. Unify existing cards with `EditorCardManager`
+2. Ensure all cards follow Begin/End pattern
+3. Add keyboard shortcuts:
+   - `Ctrl+Shift+M` - Message Control Panel
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+1` - Message List
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+2` - Message Editor
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+3` - Font Preview
+4. Replace any hardcoded colors with `Themed*` widgets
+5. Add `Toolset` for quick message navigation
+
+### Music Editor
+
+**Current State:** Tracker-based UI, needs modernization
+
+**Needed Improvements:**
+1. Extract tracker into `TrackerCard`
+2. Create additional cards:
+   - `InstrumentCard` - Instrument editor
+   - `SequenceCard` - Sequence/pattern editor
+   - `PlaybackCard` - Playback controls and mixer
+3. Add `Toolset` for playback controls
+4. Implement keyboard shortcuts:
+   - `Ctrl+Shift+U` - Music Control Panel (U for mUsic)
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+1` - Tracker
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+2` - Instruments
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+3` - Sequences
+   - `Ctrl+Alt+4` - Playback
+
+### Overworld Editor
+
+**Current State:** Good modular structure, minor improvements needed
+
+**Needed Improvements:**
+1. Verify all property panels use `Themed*` widgets
+2. Ensure `Toolset` consistency (already has good implementation)
+3. Document existing keyboard shortcuts in EditorCardManager
+4. Add minimize-to-icon for control panel
+5. Consider extracting large panels into separate cards:
+   - `MapPropertiesCard` - Currently inline, could be card
+   - `TileEditCard` - Tile16 editor as independent card
+
+**Verification Checklist:**
+- [x] Uses `Toolset` - Yes
+- [ ] All cards registered with `EditorCardManager` - Needs verification
+- [ ] No hardcoded colors - Needs audit
+- [x] Modular entity renderer - Yes
+- [x] Callback-based communication - Yes
+
+## 8. Migration Checklist

+
+## 10. Common Pitfalls
+
+### 1. Forgetting Bidirectional Visibility Sync
+
+**Problem:** Cards don't reopen after being closed with X button.
+
+**Cause:** Not syncing the visibility flag back when the card is closed.
+
+**Solution:**
+```cpp
+// WRONG
+if (show_my_card_) {
+  my_card_->Draw();
+}
+
+// CORRECT
+if (show_my_card_ && my_card_) {
+  if (!my_card_->IsVisible()) my_card_->Show();
+  my_card_->Draw();
+  if (!my_card_->IsVisible()) show_my_card_ = false;  // Sync back!
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Using Hardcoded Colors
+
+**Problem:** UI looks inconsistent, doesn't respect theme.
+
+**Cause:** Using `ImVec4` literals instead of theme colors.
+
+**Solution:**
+```cpp
+// WRONG
+ImGui::TextColored(ImVec4(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), "Error!");
+
+// CORRECT
+const auto& theme = AgentUI::GetTheme();
+ImGui::TextColored(theme.status_error, "Error!");
+```
+
+### 3. Not Calling Show() Before Draw()
+
+**Problem:** Newly opened cards don't appear.
+
+**Cause:** The card's internal `show_` flag isn't set when visibility flag changes.
+
+**Solution:**
+```cpp
+// WRONG
+if (show_my_card_) {
+  my_card_->Draw();  // Card won't appear if internally hidden
+}
+
+// CORRECT
+if (show_my_card_) {
+  if (!my_card_->IsVisible()) my_card_->Show();  // Ensure visible
+  my_card_->Draw();
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Missing EditorCardManager Registration
+
+**Problem:** Cards don't appear in View menu, shortcuts don't work.
+
+**Cause:** Forgot to register cards in `Initialize()`.
+
+**Solution:**
+```cpp
+void MyEditor::Initialize() {
+  auto& card_manager = gui::EditorCardManager::Get();
+
+  // Register ALL cards
+  card_manager.RegisterCard({
+      .card_id = "myeditor.my_card",
+      .display_name = "My Card",
+      .icon = ICON_MD_ICON,
+      .category = "MyEditor",
+      .shortcut_hint = "Ctrl+Alt+1",
+      .visibility_flag = &show_my_card_,
+      .priority = 20
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Improper Begin/End Pairing
+
+**Problem:** ImGui asserts, UI state corruption.
+
+**Cause:** Not calling `End()` when `Begin()` returns false, or early returns.
+
+**Solution:**
+```cpp
+// WRONG
+if (card.Begin()) {
+  DrawContent();
+  card.End();  // Only called if Begin succeeded
+}
+
+// CORRECT
+if (card.Begin()) {
+  DrawContent();
+}
+card.End();  // ALWAYS called
+```
+
+### 6. Not Testing Minimize-to-Icon
+
+**Problem:** Control panel can't be reopened after minimizing.
+
+**Cause:** Forgot to implement the minimize-to-icon floating button.
+
+**Solution:**
+```cpp
+if (show_control_panel_) {
+  DrawControlPanel();
+} else if (control_panel_minimized_) {
+  // Draw floating icon button
+  ImGui::SetNextWindowPos(ImVec2(10, 100));
+  ImGui::SetNextWindowSize(ImVec2(50, 50));
+  ImGuiWindowFlags flags = ImGuiWindowFlags_NoTitleBar |
+                          ImGuiWindowFlags_NoResize |
+                          ImGuiWindowFlags_NoScrollbar |
+                          ImGuiWindowFlags_NoCollapse |
+                          ImGuiWindowFlags_NoDocking;
+
+  if (ImGui::Begin("##ControlIcon", nullptr, flags)) {
+    if (ImGui::Button(ICON_MD_SETTINGS, ImVec2(40, 40))) {
+      show_control_panel_ = true;
+      control_panel_minimized_ = false;
+    }
+  }
+  ImGui::End();
+}
+```
+
+### 7. Wrong Card Position Enum
+
+**Problem:** Card appears in unexpected location.
+
+**Cause:** Using wrong `Position` enum value.
+
+**Solution:**
+```cpp
+// Card positions
+card.SetPosition(gui::EditorCard::Position::Right);   // Dock to right side
+card.SetPosition(gui::EditorCard::Position::Left);    // Dock to left side
+card.SetPosition(gui::EditorCard::Position::Bottom);  // Dock to bottom
+card.SetPosition(gui::EditorCard::Position::Floating);// Save position
+card.SetPosition(gui::EditorCard::Position::Free);    // No positioning
+```
+
+### 8. Not Handling Null Rom
+
+**Problem:** Editor crashes when ROM isn't loaded.
+
+**Cause:** Not checking `rom_` before access.
+
+**Solution:**
+```cpp
+absl::Status MyEditor::Update() {
+  if (!rom_ || !rom_->is_loaded()) {
+    // Show loading card
+    gui::EditorCard loading_card("Editor Loading", ICON_MD_ICON);
+    loading_card.SetDefaultSize(400, 200);
+    if (loading_card.Begin()) {
+      ImGui::Text("Waiting for ROM...");
+    }
+    loading_card.End();
+    return absl::OkStatus();
+  }
+
+  // Safe to use rom_ now
+  DrawEditor();
+  return absl::OkStatus();
+}
+```
+
+### 9. Forgetting Toolset Begin/End
+
+**Problem:** Toolset items don't render or layout is broken.
+
+**Cause:** Missing `Begin()` or `End()` calls.
+
+**Solution:**
+```cpp
+void DrawToolset() {
+  static gui::Toolset toolbar;
+
+  toolbar.Begin();  // REQUIRED
+
+  toolbar.AddToggle(ICON_MD_ICON, &flag_, "Tooltip");
+  toolbar.AddSeparator();
+  toolbar.AddAction(ICON_MD_SAVE, "Save");
+
+  toolbar.End();  // REQUIRED
+}
+```
+
+### 10. Hardcoded Shortcuts in Tooltips
+
+**Problem:** Shortcuts shown in tooltips don't match actual keybinds.
+
+**Cause:** Tooltip string doesn't match `shortcut_hint` in registration.
+
+**Solution:**
+```cpp
+// In Registration
+card_manager.RegisterCard({
+    .shortcut_hint = "Ctrl+Alt+1",  // Define once
+    // ...
+});
+
+// In Toolset
+toolbar.AddToggle(ICON_MD_LIST, &show_list_,
+                 "Item List (Ctrl+Alt+1)");  // Match exactly
+```
+
