Problem
The left sidebar tab buttons (Scenes / Story) and several toolbar buttons have no
distinct disabled state. When a state actually blocks interaction (e.g. Story tab with
no content yet, or toolbar buttons during an export), the button still looks active,
which makes failures feel like bugs.
Observed
- Buttons rely on hover state for feedback; without hover they look identical whether
they're enabled or disabled.
- There's no
aria-disabled / disabled convention applied consistently.
Proposed
- Add a shared
.btn--disabled style (reduced opacity, cursor: not-allowed, no hover
background change).
- Audit every button in:
TitleBar.svelte, LeftPanel.svelte, Editor.svelte status
bar, and export modal action row.
- Apply
disabled attribute + the style consistently.
Acceptance
- Every button across the app has a visibly distinct disabled state.
- Disabled buttons don't show a hover background.
- Screen readers announce disabled state.
