 - **A long card overflows short phones** → Enforce content limits, remove decorative media at short heights, and allow accessibility-only internal scrolling.
-- **Vertical swipe conflicts with card scrolling** → Standard cards do not scroll; accessibility overflow mode disables swipe capture while content is actively scrolling.
+- **Horizontal swipe conflicts with platform navigation** → Discover requires a dominant horizontal threshold and retains explicit controls, while vertical gestures remain native scrolling.
 - **Drawer integration destabilizes SessionScreen** → Reuse its existing state and component, keep Explore as an overlay within the same mounted shell, and add App/session integration tests.
 - **Daily order feels repetitive** → Persist a complete cycle, rotate by day, and reseed after catalog exhaustion without repeating within a cycle.
 - **Removing Explore approval overlays delays action** → The dock uses a high-contrast attention state and returns directly to the canonical chat card.
-- **Removing the saved library makes Save feel incomplete** → Treat Save explicitly as a lightweight “remember this” signal; do not advertise browsing saved content until that product is designed.
 
 ## Migration Plan
 
 1. Extend the existing Explore storage record with optional deck day, seed, and index fields; tolerate all 0.2.24 records.
-2. Keep existing saved and completed card IDs.
+2. Keep existing completed card IDs and discard the obsolete per-card preference field.
 3. Remove obsolete topic/reader/activity-detail UI without deleting compatible stored fields.
 4. Ship through the standard versioned `ship.ps1` production pipeline.
 5. Roll back by restoring the 0.2.24 Explore module; additive storage fields remain harmless.
 
 ## Open Questions
 
-None. The agreed interaction is fixed: shared hamburger header, bottom live dock returning to chat, and balanced vertical Discover cards with no list or filters.
