-Search for **Conjure Translate** and open it. Enter English in the search bar, choose a provider, then press Return or click **Translate**. Typing alone never sends text. Copy selected Japanese output with Command-C; Back or Escape returns to the launcher.
+Search for **Conjure Translate** and open it. Enter English in the search bar, choose a provider, then press Return or click **Translate**. Typing alone never sends text. Copy selected Japanese output with Command-C; the copy hint appears beside the Translate action at the bottom. The Back chevron beside the input or Escape returns to the launcher and restores your search.
 
 - **MyMemory:** No account or key required. Limits are 500 UTF-8 bytes per request and [5,000 characters per day](https://mymemory.translated.net/doc/usagelimits.php) for anonymous use.
 - **OpenAI:** Requires an API key, access to `gpt-6-luna`, and sufficient API billing. Choose **Save Key** to store it in macOS Keychain; **Forget Key** removes it. Requests disable API response storage, but OpenAI's retention policies still apply.

-### Navigation, context, and feedback
-
-- [x] Add a visible, accessible Back action to Translate, matching uninstall review; retain Escape and query/focus restoration.
-- [x] Keep the selected application's name visible throughout uninstall file review, not only in Actions and final confirmation.
-- [x] Preserve uninstall discovery loading/error feedback when filtering; show selection counts only after successful discovery.
-- [x] Standardize feedback severity: secondary text for guidance/progress and consistent error styling for actual failures. Shortcut modifier guidance should not appear red; login and translation failures should receive error treatment.
-- [x] Show persistent uninstall keyboard guidance: Return toggles file inclusion; Command-Return opens confirmation. Preserve the safer shortcut distinction.
-- [x] Separate Translate's persistent provider/privacy/limit disclosure from transient validation, credential, loading, success, and error feedback.
-
-### Visual consistency
-
-- [x] Match uninstall footer text to the launcher/Translate baseline: 12pt medium rather than 14pt; retain destructive red.
-- [x] Align the uninstall footer with launcher/Translate: 8pt right/bottom insets rather than 24pt right and 16pt bottom.
-- [x] Use the launcher/Translate footer's plain brown-filled view for uninstall instead of adding a popover material and orange tint.
-- [x] Apply Actions' SF Symbol optical-inset handling to launcher icons. Native layout measured a 22×29pt command icon view versus 22×22pt action icon views.
-- [x] Render application and command favorite markers consistently: use the configured star symbol rather than a literal ★ for commands.
-- [x] Apply the existing Sunset palette to Translate's custom heading and the Settings recovery button, matching equivalent headings/actions.
-
-### Visual verification
-
-- [ ] Visually check footer weight, symbol alignment, heading colors, and backdrop-dependent contrast in the live app; offscreen native checks do not establish final appearance.
-- [ ] Check expanded Settings states, including multiline errors, login approval, and uninstall recovery. The fixed, non-scrolling window may compress or clip content; this remains unverified.
-
-Keep intentional differences: taller two-line uninstall rows, larger translation output, native Settings controls, and destructive confirmation shortcuts.
