Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese casebook work: turning materials into reusable cases, anonymized entries, mechanisms, and retrieval indexes.
Use only when the user explicitly names crossframe-critical for a Chinese structural critique dossier, article plan, or long-form critical essay.
Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese proposition testing, debate analysis, hidden-premise review, rebuttal design, or withdrawal condition checks.
Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese reader replies, editor responses, consultation-style short answers, or boundary-aware structural advice.
Use when explicit CrossFrame work needs a Chinese critical insight essay, commentary, concept essay, public piece, or structure-to-article draft after diagnosis.
Use when CrossFrame Suite routes explicit Chinese notes for books, theories, articles, excerpts, bidirectional reading, absorption, or conflict mapping.

Clear current state. Users must always see what is selected. Toggles show on/off, segmented controls highlight the active segment, pickers display the current selection.
Prefer standard system controls. Built-in controls provide consistency and accessibility. Custom controls introduce a learning curve and may break assistive features.
Toggles for binary states. On or off. In Settings-style screens, changes take effect immediately. In modal forms, changes commit on confirmation.
Segmented controls for mutually exclusive options. 2-5 items, roughly equal importance, short labels.
Sliders for continuous values. When precise numeric input is not critical. Provide min/max labels or icons for range endpoints.
Pickers for long option lists. Too many options for a segmented control. Works well for dates, times, structured data.
Steppers for small, precise adjustments. Increment/decrement in fixed steps. Display current value next to the stepper with reasonable min/max bounds.
Text fields for short, single-line input. Text views for multi-line. Configure keyboard type to match expected input (email, URL, number).
Combo boxes: text input + selection list. macOS. Type a value or choose from a predefined list when custom values are valid.
Token fields: discrete values as visual tokens. macOS. For email recipients, tags, or collections of discrete items.
Gauges and rating indicators display values. Gauges show a value within a range. Rating indicators show ratings (often stars). Display-only; use interactive variants for input.
