The core problem: when the writer is in Card View on a series project, there are two distinct levels (Episodes and Scenes). The current chrome doesn't make this difference loud enough — a user who doesn't already know the UI can't immediately tell which level they're looking at.
Looking at the attached screenshot:
The level indicator is just a small `SERIES · കടൽക്കര / Kadalkara · 5 episodes` strip at the top — eyebrow-style, easy to miss.
The cards themselves use the same surface, accent, and "Open scenes" button pattern as scene cards.
The "Cards" tab in the TitleBar reads identically regardless of which level is active.
Suggested fix — multiple compounding signals:
Big level title at the top of the cards area. Replace the current eyebrow strip with a real header:
```
EPISODES 5 episodes
കടൽക്കര / Kadalkara
```
Eyebrow ("EPISODES" / "SCENES") in 11px caps with letter-spacing — same style as Stats / Export modal eyebrows.
Series or episode title underneath, larger / bolder.
Right-aligned count badge.
Segmented toggle in the toolbar (series only). When in series mode and at the Episode level, show a [Episodes]·[Scenes] segmented control. Click "Scenes" → drills into the active episode. Click the breadcrumb back arrow → returns to Episodes. Two ways into the same state, but the toggle itself communicates that two levels exist.
Distinct card surface for episodes vs scenes. Episode cards could use a slightly different geometry — slightly thicker accent edge, gradient header bar, or a printed "EPISODE" tag in the corner — anything that says "this isn't a scene card." Pairs with ui(series): visual rhythm + breathing room — sidebar feels dense #149's broader "rhythm" pass.
TitleBar tab label adapts. "Cards" → "Episodes" or "Scenes" depending on the current sub-level (only when in a series). For films, stays "Cards."
The user's main complaint: "it is not very clear, unless the user already knows the UI very well." Pick at least #1 and #2; #3 and #4 are sweeteners.
