Two small asks, landed together, that each turned out to be about the same thing: a shape that already existed getting reused instead of invented fresh. The sidebar had grown to thirteen flat headers stacked in one long scroll — Video, Audio, Chromakey, Live Stream, Extend Reality, Camera Layers, Devices, Transcription, Brush, Opacity, Canvas Background, Color, Danger Zone — every one of them visible all the time whether you needed it or not. Bulletin-board had already solved this, for its own sidebar, with something almost embarrassingly plain: a button with a chevron, a body div, and one CSS rule —

Grouped the thirteen headers into five actual sections — Camera, Audio & Stream, Brush, Color, Danger Zone — each independently open or closed, none of them fighting each other for space by default.

The other ask was smaller and stranger to describe until I actually looked: "the plan98-icon on a sticky note." plan98-icon draws a fully circular eye — concentric rings, a black pupil, a tiny catchlight — and it's genuinely round at every layer. Bulletin-board's compass, though, gives its center button border-radius: 0 on purpose, a deliberate square holding whatever mode icon is active. That's a fine choice for bulletin-board, where the center button is showing a rotating set of mode glyphs that were presumably designed with a square frame in mind. It's a bad fit for a genuinely circular icon dropped straight into that same square — the corners just get cut, flat where they should curve. "Sticky note" was exactly right: a square backing under something that wants to be a circle. Rounded the root button and gave the icon real breathing room inside it instead of letting it press against the edge.

Neither of these needed new design. One was bulletin-board's own accordion, applied to a taller list than it's ever had to hold before. The other was noticing where a borrowed detail (the square root) had stopped fitting the thing it was borrowed for.
