-## Screenshots (required for UI / behavior changes)
-
-**Before and after are mandatory** for any user-visible or UI change. Do not open a UI PR with only a description.
-
-- Attach a **before** screenshot (or short recording of the old behavior).
-- Attach an **after** screenshot (or short recording of the new behavior).
-- Side-by-side or labeled before/after is preferred.
-- For motion, transitions, or interactions, include a short **before and after** video (or one video that clearly shows both).
-- If there is truly no visual or interaction change, write exactly: `No visual change` and briefly say why.
