- Apply font-display (Plus Jakarta Sans) to all page h1/h2 headings
- Wire interactive Card prop on initiative cards and agent cards
- Redesign empty states with icons: agents (Users), inbox (Inbox/MessageSquare), right panels (Terminal)
- Unify initiative detail tabs to border-b-2 indicator style matching settings
- Strengthen two-panel dividers on agents and inbox pages (lg:border-r)
- Clean up filter pill badges — replace nested Badge with simpler span
- Increase PhaseAccordion spacing for better readability
- Fix error state styling in settings to use status tokens
- Increase settings/projects section spacing
