Design-polish PR #2. Board/list cards were visually noisy: every card permanently showed a quick-edit date, a priority-flag button, and up/down reorder chevrons alongside the title and chips. Asana keeps cards calm and reveals row controls on hover.
The change (CSS only)
Under
@media (hover: hover) and (pointer: fine)(i.e. desktop/mouse),.quick-editand.reorderstart atopacity: 0and fade in when the card is hovered or focused. A resting card now shows just its title + chips; hovering reveals the quick-edit + reorder controls.Touch devices (no hover) are unaffected — they keep the controls visible, since there's no hover to reveal them.
No markup, logic, schema, or testids changed — the controls are still in the DOM (so all acceptance + unit tests pass unchanged), just visually hidden until hover on desktop.
