### Sign-In Window

Use the browser-based login flow, enable Touch ID when available, and resume an existing local
session.

### Project Launcher

The launcher is the main landing area after sign-in. It lets you:

* switch organizations from the toolbar,
* review inbox notifications for new variable comments,
* create an organization,
* create a project,
* open an organization manager window,
* sign out.

### Organization Window

The organization manager is split into sections for:

* Members
* Projects
* Activity
* Settings

### Project Window

Each project opens into a dedicated window with sections for:

* Environments
* Activity
* Validation
* Settings

### Environment Window

Each environment window uses a sidebar, content column, and collapsible detail column. The main
sections are:

* Variables
* Activity
* Validation
* Deploy Tokens
* Settings

The detail pane expands when you select a variable so you can switch between **Info**,
**Validation**, and **History**. The **Info** view also includes the note and comments sections for
that specific key.
