203E: The Flexbox Hull
"Cockpits come in different sizes (Monitors, Mobile, Console). If you hard-code a button to "Pixel 500, 500", it will be off-screen on a phone. A Pilot uses Flexbox to create a layout that stretches and adapts."
The Concept: Flexbox (USS)
A layout engine that aligns items automatically.
* **FlexGrow:** "Take up all available space."
* **AlignItems:** "Center the children."
* **Percent:** "Width: 50%" instead of "Width: 200px".

The AI Trap: "The Absolute Anchor"
You ask the AI: "Put the radar in the bottom right corner."
// AI-Generated Code: Rigid Positioning radar.style.position = Position.Absolute; radar.style.left = 1024; radar.style.top = 768; // Audit Fail: On a 4K screen, this will be in the top-left center.
This is "Resolution Fragility." The UI breaks completely if the screen aspect ratio changes.
Elite Telemetry
Research shows "Elite" teams achieve 15% faster lead times by keeping AI on a "very tight leash."
- Small Batches Solving one problem at a time prevents logic drift.
- Modular Design Localizing the "blast radius" of AI changes.
- Tight Loops Rapid iteration with constant code review.
