 Markdown files (`.md`/`.markdown`) in `MediaTextPreview` open rendered via `flutter_markdown_plus` (`Markdown`, styled from Noo tokens in `_markdownStyle`), with a top-right Edit/Preview toggle (hidden for read-only offline copies). Other text files go straight to the editor.
 
 `ShareSheet`: focusing the people search field does not scroll; once the user types, `_revealPeopleSection` animates the "Share with people" section (keyed by `_peopleKey` on the `NooShareSection`, not the inner column) to just below the sheet's top edge with a small gap.

+## Desktop/tablet layout notes
+
+- The desktop branch in `main.dart` is wrapped in `SafeArea` so tablets keep
+  system bars clear of the sidebar; the sidebar has no divider between pinned
+  and hidden tabs.
+- Desktop Settings is the same two-level menu as mobile (centered 640px column, back button in the floating toolbar); the
+  pushed category screens render the desktop card layout.
+- Settings that don't apply in wide-tablet (Appearance nav options,
+  Swipe on a file) show a `NooInfoNote` via `SettingsSection.notice`.
+- Mobile-layout grids (Files, Favorites, move/copy picker, share upload,
+  Photos) take their column count from `NooLayout.gridColumns` (min tile
+  width, never below the phone count), so a tablet in portrait gets more
+  columns rather than a few huge tiles.
