 ### Timeline (second view)
 The Annotated Edition: a centre double ink rail with year keys set in heavy tabular numerals on a page-coloured knockout, books beside it as image-plus-band pairs.
 
+### History (page only)
+- **History list (left desk, under the run):** a ruled list printed like the stage plates (-1px stacked hairlines). Each row: a 30x40 framed thumbnail, the title (700, ink), "time · N new · M on MangaBaka" (tabular, faded ink), and what was done in teal (downloaded, rehosted on X, filed #N), with a square remove cell holding a drawn SVG cross that fills ink on hover. The open entry lifts to slip paper. Focus rings sit inside the rows (the list scrolls). A quiet "Clear history" ends it.
+- **Recently searched (start screen):** up to six of the same books on the same kraft rail, smaller (jacket up to 160px), each with a small obi band (3px ink top, slip paper) carrying the title and "time · N new"; the jacket lifts 4px on hover.
+- **Found line:** under the review head, "Found <time>." and a quiet "Search again", only for an entry reopened from the history.

+### Add by hand (2a)
+"Download N covers (ZIP)" is an outline button at the top of the block, with a one-line hint, then the paste text, "Copy all selected", the cover form link and a status line.

 ### Motion
 One authored motion: when a run finishes, books are shelved left to right (rise 14px, 0.55s, `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)`, 28ms stagger capped at 24 books). The active plate's pip blinks in two steps. Everything else is 0.12-0.3s state transitions. `prefers-reduced-motion` removes all animation and transitions.
