🎯 What:
Redesigned the chat interface in the desktop application (packages/desktop) to adopt a minimalist, code-centric UI (similar to Codex or Claude Code).

💡 Why:
To provide a more professional, developer-focused aesthetic by removing consumer-style "iMessage" bubbles, heavy borders, and floating input pills in favor of flat inputs, unboxed tool logs, and left-aligned message streams.

✅ Verification:

  • Tested rendering using Playwright visual snapshots against mocked injected app state (window.xibecode).
  • Verified all linters and typescript builds pass without regressions.
  • Passed automated code review for UI maintainability and safety.

✨ Result:
The app now has a cleaner, flat look with simple avatars ('U', 'X'), unboxed tool traces, and a bottom-docked borderless input panel.

- Replaces iMessage-style bubbles with full-width, left-aligned blocks and square avatars.
- Updates ToolCallCards to be unboxed, thread-like logs with padding-based indentation.
- Transforms the floating pill input into a borderless, flat bottom-docked text area with a clean icon button.
- Maintains all existing Tailwind utility structures and semantic colors.
