OBJECTIVE: Transient panels, hover/signature cards, command rails, prompts, and pickers share a coherent newed-matched visual hierarchy suitable for narrow terminals.

AUTHORITY: Parent #57; KEYMAP.md panel/hover/signature/rail sections; newed popup/menu style anchors; req: ui/001-002, coding/004, input/007, testing/001-004.

AGENT AUTHORITY:

Delivery authority: local-commit
Tracker authority: this issue may be commented and closed when acceptance passes; parent #57 may be commented/checklisted.
Handoff state: committed clean, tracker commented/closed.

PARENT: #57 via explicit issue link and parent checklist.

SCOPE: Panel border/title/active item/preview styles, prompt input styles, command rail group/key styles, hover/signature compact card and expanded panel styles, scroll indicators, tests.

BOUNDARIES: Do not redesign panel behavior or implement missing commands unless necessary to render fixtures. Do not use color as the only active/focus indicator.

ACCEPTANCE:

Panels/rails/hover/signature have a clear depth hierarchy matching newed popup/menu intent.
Active item, preview, disabled/unimplemented action, selected action, prompt cursor, and scroll position are distinguishable.
Long hover/signature content stays readable and does not leave style leakage after closing.
Narrow viewport render diagnostics show no clipped critical labels beyond intentional truncation with visible markers.
Mono/16-color fallbacks retain focus and active item semantics.

VERIFICATION:

zig build test
Render fixture tests for file panel, diagnostics panel, command rail, prompt, compact hover, expanded long hover, signature help, narrow viewport, mono fallback.
zig build v1-smoke

BLOCKERS: depends on theme token/adaptation support and available panel/hover render surfaces.

Closing receipt for #62.

Implemented in local commit f00eddc (Add panel hierarchy styling):

Added a distinct newed palette header style for panel/popup headers.
Added section styling for existing LSP hover/signature rows and Pi/context rows.
Preserved existing panel behavior and row text labels; hierarchy is additive color/chrome, not a hidden semantic channel.
Added unit render coverage for Pi panel, LSP hover panel, and signature panel hierarchy.
Added terminal E2E artifact role coverage for panel headers in the existing file/Pi panel scenario.

Verification:

zig build ✅
zig build test ✅
zig build terminal-e2e ✅
zig build run -- --help ✅
zig build --prefix /tmp/mim-install verify-install-code ✅
redgate list /opt/repositories/mim/REQUIREMENTS.md && redgate lint /opt/repositories/mim/REQUIREMENTS.md && redgate health /opt/repositories/mim/REQUIREMENTS.md ✅
