Separate tool controls from the header into a dedicated adjustments bar, following the classic Photoshop pattern with: - Header bar: application controls (file, undo/redo, zoom, new layer) - Tool adjustments bar: context-sensitive tool options Changes: - **Header Bar** (48px): Simplified to two sections * Left: Title + File Menu * Right: Undo/Redo + Zoom controls + New Layer button * Removed tool options from center - **Tool Adjustments Bar** (40px): New dedicated bar below header * Full-width bar for tool-specific controls * Context-sensitive: shows options for active tool only * Slightly darker background (bg-card/50) for visual separation * Contains all tool options (size, opacity, color, shape type, etc.) Benefits: - Cleaner header without crowding - More space for tool controls to expand - Better visual separation of concerns - Matches professional image editor conventions - Header remains clean and consistent Build Status: ✓ Successful (1313ms) 🤖 Generated with Claude Code Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
