DECISION.2026-10-23.PLATFORM-NATIVE-DIVERGENCES-CURRENTFive wireframes are intentionally platform-native
Decision
Five wireframes have no twin on the other platform on purpose. Audits should not flag them.
Why
Desktop dropdowns are not an iOS pattern and mobile side-drawers are not a desktop pattern, so each side keeps its own. The earlier sixth entry, a mobile redirect page review/confirm.html, was deleted; new URLs land on confirm-ais.html or confirm-doc.html on both platforms.
| Wireframe | Platform | Why no twin |
|---|---|---|
web/home/avatar-menu.html |
web only | Desktop avatar dropdown. Mobile uses the drawer. |
web/home/workspace-switcher.html |
web only | Desktop modal. Mobile folds switching into the drawer. |
mobile/home/drawer.html |
mobile only | Native side drawer; covers avatar menu and workspace switch. |
mobile/inbox/flat.html |
mobile only | Flat list. Web shows the folder tree beside the list. |
mobile/tax/with-ca-chat.html |
mobile only | Full-screen CA chat. Web keeps the chat in the right rail of with-ca.html. |
Impact
- Surface pages: dashboard-avatar-menu, dashboard-workspace-switcher, dashboard-drawer-open, inbox-flat, tax-with-ca-chat.
- Admin, CA portal and marketing-mobile stay out of scope per 2026-06-27-mobile-end-user-only.
