<h3>Tool Mode</h3>
38
-
<p><strong>1. Coordinate multi-tool workspace sessions</strong><br/>Action: Launch this tool from <code>tools/<tool>/index.html</code> (not through Workspace Manager).<br/>Why this step matters: Uses this tool as a focused single-tool surface.</p>
39
-
<p><strong>2. Build/edit in the tool</strong><br/>Action: Switch tools from tiles and monitor shared workspace context.<br/>Why this step matters: Keeps cross-tool workflows orchestrated under one manifest.</p>
40
-
<p><strong>3. Save/export deliverables</strong><br/>Action: Save workspace manifest checkpoints as you progress.<br/>Why this step matters: Preserves synchronized cross-tool state.</p>
41
-
<p><strong>4. Continue or close</strong><br/>Action: Open another tool directly as needed.<br/>Why this step matters: Tool mode is best for isolated tasks and rapid single-tool iteration.</p>

<h3>Workspace Mode</h3>
46
-
<p><strong>1. Create a named workspace</strong><br/>Action: Click <code>New Workspace</code> and enter a meaningful name (example: <code>UAT 001 Workspace</code>).<br/>Why this step matters: Starts from a clear baseline and makes saved snapshots easy to identify.</p>
47
-
<p><strong>2. Open tools from Workspace Manager tiles</strong><br/>Action: Select needed tool tiles and perform each tool's primary task.<br/>Why this step matters: Keeps multi-tool work coordinated under one shared context.</p>
48
-
<p><strong>3. Save both levels intentionally</strong><br/>Action: Use tool-level save/export for artifacts, then click <code>Save Workspace</code> for session state.<br/>Why this step matters: Preserves both deliverable files and cross-tool orchestration state.</p>
49
-
<p><strong>4. Checkpoint and resume</strong><br/>Action: Use <code>Save Workspace As</code> for milestones and <code>Open Workspace</code> to resume later.<br/>Why this step matters: Supports versioned progress and reliable continuation.</p>

<h3>Workspace Mode</h3>
37
+
<p><strong>1. Create a named workspace</strong><br/>Action: Click <code>New Workspace</code> and enter a meaningful name (example: <code>UAT 001 Workspace</code>).<br/>Why this step matters: Starts from a clear baseline and makes saved snapshots easy to identify.</p>
38
+
<p><strong>2. Before opening a tool, confirm workspace state</strong><br/>Action: Verify header status for <code>Workspace</code>, <code>Shared Palette</code>, and <code>Shared Assets</code> so you know the current context.<br/>Why this step matters: Prevents editing with stale or unintended shared data.</p>
39
+
<p><strong>3. Example flow A: Palette Browser -> Sprite Editor</strong><br/>Action: In <code>Palette Browser</code>, select/create a palette and click <code>Use in Workspace Manager</code>, then open <code>Sprite Editor</code> and continue sprite work with that palette context.<br/>Why this step matters: Demonstrates intentional shared palette handoff between tools.</p>
40
+
<p><strong>4. Example flow B: Asset Browser -> Vector Map Editor</strong><br/>Action: In <code>Asset Browser</code>, select an approved asset, then open <code>Vector Map Editor</code> to reference that asset while building map geometry.<br/>Why this step matters: Keeps asset selection and map authoring synchronized in one workspace session.</p>
41
+
<p><strong>5. After each tool step, save the right thing</strong><br/>Action: First run tool-level save/export for concrete outputs (JSON, PNG, payloads), then click <code>Save Workspace</code> to persist cross-tool session state.<br/>Why this step matters: Preserves both deliverables and orchestration context.</p>
42
+
<p><strong>6. Use checkpoints and resume safely</strong><br/>Action: Use <code>Save Workspace As</code> at milestones (for example, pre-import and post-import), and use <code>Open Workspace</code> later to continue exactly where you left off.<br/>Why this step matters: Supports versioned progress, rollback points, and reliable continuation.</p>
