+### Cross-Platform Workflow Parity
+
+These items are required to keep desktop, Android phone, and Android tablet
+feeling like the same application rather than three related UIs.
+
+- Workflow parity:
+  define canonical workflows for open, unlock, set up remote sync, use remote
+  sync, browse entries, and edit entries.
+- Workflow parity:
+  ensure desktop, phone, and tablet use the same action names and the same
+  primary next steps for those workflows.
+- Workflow parity:
+  remove or reduce platform-specific workflow exceptions where the same user
+  intent currently takes a different route on different form factors.
+- Testing:
+  add cross-mode behavior tests that assert workflow order and action
+  prominence, not just label presence.
+- Testing:
+  add explicit lifecycle/open-screen tests for reachability of the primary
+  action on desktop, phone, and tablet layouts.
+- Testing:
+  add explicit remote-sync workflow tests that prove setup, settings, use, and
+  removal are reachable from the same primary affordance family across modes.
+- Android verification:
+  validate changed lifecycle/open/sync workflows on the emulator or a device,
+  including with the on-screen keyboard visible.
+- Android verification:
+  treat “present but below the fold or behind an unexpected branch” as a parity
+  failure, not as acceptable platform variation.
