Carousel 5 systems that halve reporting time Draft·Create·Schedule
Header: 4 stacked layers (badges + title + meta + stepper) → ONE row. Status/priority/topic/series/platforms/Copy-for-AI/delete live in the ⋯ menu; status stays glanceable as the colored dot.

Draft — plan the slides

Carousel flavor of the same simplification. The wizard's setup — including slide count — collapses into the recap row; the research accordion is gone; and the stage is exactly one thing: the slide plan, which IS the carousel's direction. One AI button — Plan slides — drafts themes + on-slide headlines from your angle & hook, and only into empty rows.

This is the recap's default, closed state (page 2 shows it expanded). Slide count was a wizard essential — it lives in the recap now, editable on expand; bumping it adds an empty row to the plan below. No duplicate AR/slide/platform/topic inputs, no research accordion — the wizard owns research, the words stay editable in here.

The slide plan IS the direction — themes + headlines flow straight into the per-slide image prompts in Create. “Plan slides” obeys the fill-missing rule: slides 1–4 are yours and stay untouched; only the amber rows get drafted. Same one-button pattern as the image post.
Brand kit: Indigo × Pink · flat illustration (base)
The per-post style guide is now a DELTA on the brand kit — the kit locks palette/type/style once (page 6); each carousel only states its own motif. Slides inherit both automatically, so the old per-post “style guide” textarea full of brand boilerplate is gone.
