 ## Oberfläche
 
 - **Einheitliche Bedienelemente:** Personen-Suche, Profilbild-Stapel, Zähler und weitere Muster stehen in [Doku/ui-patterns.md](Doku/ui-patterns.md). Vorhandene Komponenten verwenden statt neuer Varianten; neue gemeinsame Muster dort ergänzen.
-- **Handy und Desktop:** Unter `sm` ist Handy-Layout, ab `lg` die volle Desktop-Ansicht (z. B. Seitenleiste neben der Notiz). Wird nur das Handy geändert, bleiben die Werte ab `sm`/`lg` exakt wie vorher.
+- **Handy und Desktop:** Unter `sm` ist Handy-Layout, ab `lg` die volle Desktop-Ansicht (z. B. Seitenleiste neben der Notiz). `sm` liegt bei **768 px**, nicht bei Tailwinds 640 px (Handys quer und kleine Tablets bekommen das Handy-Layout); `md` ist gleich `sm`. Im Code dafür `isPhoneWidth()` aus `lib/breakpoints.ts` verwenden, keine feste Pixelzahl. Wird nur das Handy geändert, bleiben die Werte ab `sm`/`lg` exakt wie vorher.
 - **Antippen am Handy:** Ziele mindestens 44 px hoch (`h-11 sm:h-…`). Auf reinen Touch-Geräten gibt es kein HTML5-Drag-&-Drop; Kanban nutzt dafür `useKanbanTouchDrag`, die Notizen die Leiste über der Tastatur (`MobileOutlineBar`).
 - **Themes:** Farben nur über die Theme-Variablen bzw. Klassen (`bg-panel`, `bg-canvas`, `text-main`, `text-muted`, `border-border`, `bg-accent` …), keine festen Farben. Rahmen mit `bg-panel`/`bg-canvas` bekommen die Ecken des Themes automatisch; liegt darin ein Kopfbereich mit eigenem Hintergrund, braucht der Rahmen `overflow-hidden`, sonst ragen bei runden Ecken die Kanten heraus.
 - **Installierte App (PWA):** Manifest-Änderungen (Farben, Verknüpfungen) übernimmt Android erst, wenn es die App aktualisiert (bis etwa einen Tag) oder nach Neuinstallation; normaler App-Code kommt beim nächsten Start. Ändert sich der Cache-Inhalt des Service Workers, `VERSION` in `frontend/public/sw.js` erhöhen.
