+### Changed
+
+- **Wide dashboards keep useful work in both rails.** Workspace flow begins directly beneath Focus instead of waiting for a taller Live operations stack, while narrow layouts retain their intentional reading order.

+### Fixed
+
+- **Run recovery remains visibly actionable beside large ask queues.** Independent overflow controls prevent Asks from stretching the shared row or leaving neighboring recovery cards cut off.
