 ### 4. Only then classify and write the reply
 
-Choose exactly one category:
+## Category definitions (read carefully)
+
+### Prefer `feature_quick_win` when ALL of these hold after reading code
+
+- Value is clear to users (layout polish, control placement, labels, empty
+  states, simple filters, copy, local UX friction).
+- Touch surface is **small and local**: typically **1–4 files** in the same UI
+  area (e.g. one manager + its tests/helpers), not a cross-app redesign.
+- No protocol, crypto, sync, packaging, auth model, or vault schema redesign.
+- No multi-week product decision required — the reporter already proposed a
+  concrete UI outcome (even if several small controls move).
+- A maintainer could ship a focused PR in about **one session**.
+
+**UI-only rearrangements are usually quick wins**, including:
+
+- moving/merging header buttons
+- changing dropdown vs single button for an existing action
+- showing two sections on the same page instead of tab-like switching
+- tightening spacing / grouping in one panel
+
+That the **current tests lock today's layout is not a reason to defer** —
+tests should be updated with the UI change.
+
+### Use `feature_defer` only when at least one is true
+
+- Spans **many modules** (renderer + main + CLI/MCP + sync) or unclear ownership.
+- Needs **open product strategy** (new business model, competing priorities with
+  no clear winner from the report).
+- Large rewrite, new subsystem, or high breakage risk for existing users beyond
+  the local panel.
+- Effort is clearly multi-PR / multi-day even for a familiar maintainer.
+
+Do **not** defer just because:
+
+- there are existing unit tests for the old UI
+- the change “undoes a recent layout choice” (that can still be a focused PR)
+- the issue lists several related button tweaks in the **same** screen
+
+### Bugs
+
+- `bug_ready`: clear Netcatty bug after reading code; focused fix in one PR;
+  confidence ≥ 0.8.
+- `bug_needs_info`: still cannot reproduce / attribute after reading code, or
+  missing evidence (logs, steps, versions).
+
+### Other
 
-- `bug_ready`: well-described bug, clearly attributable to Netcatty after
-  reading code, focused fix verifiable in one PR. Confidence ≥ 0.8.
-- `bug_needs_info`: ambiguous, environmental/upstream, or lacks repro evidence
-  even after reading nearby code.
-- `feature_quick_win`: valuable, small, low-risk, non-breaking after reading
-  the current implementation. Confidence ≥ 0.8.
-- `feature_defer`: substantial scope, product tradeoffs, weak value/effort, or
-  risky after seeing the real code paths.
 - `unclear`: cannot interpret as a concrete bug or feature.
-- `other`: support/planning/discussion — no automatic code change.
+- `other`: support / planning / discussion — no automatic code change.
 
-Be conservative. Prefer `bug_needs_info` / `feature_defer` / `unclear` when unsure.
+### Confidence
+
+- Use **≥ 0.8** for `bug_ready` and `feature_quick_win` when the code path is
+  clear and the change is local — **do not under-confidence UI polish** just to
+  “be safe”. Under-confidence auto-downgrades quick wins away from implement.
+- Be cautious on security, data loss, and cross-process surfaces — not on
+  ordinary vault/keychain layout polish.
+
+When truly unsure between quick_win and defer: **if the touch surface is
+clearly local UI after reading code, choose `feature_quick_win`**. Reserve
+defer for genuinely large or strategic work.
