Decision — confirm the navigation model before the navigation scaffold is built.

There's a discrepancy between the design doc and the prototype that needs resolving:

Design doc §2 describes a three-tab bottom nav with the home surface labelled "Home" (Home / Stream / implicit Template Sheet).
The committed prototype and design-system skill describe two bottom-nav tabs:
- Log (glyph ✎) — the home surface, labelled "Log", not "Home",
- Stream (glyph ☰),
- and the entry/person editor is not a tab — it's a full-screen surface that slides in from the right over the whole app.

The design reference states the prototype wins when it and a spec disagree.

What to decide

Confirm the two-tab model (Log + Stream) with the editor as a slide-over surface, and the "Log" label for the home tab — superseding the doc's three-tab/"Home" description.

Blocks: the navigation scaffold (M1).

Recommendation: adopt the prototype's two-tab "Log" + "Stream" model. The "third tab" in the doc was always the modal sheet, which isn't a real tab; the prototype's slide-over is the cleaner expression of the same idea. Worth updating design doc §2 to match so the two sources stop disagreeing.

Prototype wins on UX - two tabs on the bottom. Row of person notes at the top of Home, and a scrollable grid of Create buttons below, defined by templates in Outline.
