📋 Decision Context

Question:

How should the preview experience be enhanced for intuitive platform building?

Task: Enhance preview experience with interactive module editing and smart navigation

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Inline toolbars and smart headers with direct editing capabilities - ModuleActionToolbar for hover actions and SmartPreviewHeader for navigation/deployment

Options Considered:

1. Simple static preview with no interactions
2. Modal-based editing outside the preview
3. Inline toolbars and smart headers with direct editing capabilities

💭 Reasoning

The user requested everything be 'very interactive, easy to use and intuitive'. A static preview forces context switching. Modal-based editing breaks flow. Inline toolbars (ModuleActionToolbar) appearing on hover provide immediate access to edit/config/hierarchy/routes/AI-enhance without leaving the preview context. SmartPreviewHeader provides persistent controls for deployment status, device switching, zoom, breadcrumb navigation, and quick actions. Together these create a seamless building experience where users can see their platform while editing it.
