+## NEXT STEPS
+
+- **Add `isFileInBatchFolder` recursive mode**: Current batch only processes direct children of a folder; a `recursive` option would let users batch entire folder trees with one command.
+- **Add keyboard shortcut help overlay**: Alt+E/Alt+Delete/Alt+Arrow shortcuts are not discoverable without documentation; a `?` key binding to show a shortcuts help modal would improve UX.
+- **Wire `noTitle` key into `confirmRegenerateEditedCards` title display**: The modal title currently uses `displayName`; a more specific title per-file would make the confirmation clearer.
+- **Add `cliTimeoutMs` normalization in `normalizeSettings`**: The new CLI timeout setting has no bounds normalization in `normalizeSettings` (unlike `streamingTimeoutMs`), so extreme values aren't clamped on load.
+- **Improve streaming progress UX**: The streaming counter shows raw character count; showing estimated token count or a progress bar would give users a better sense of generation completion.
+- **Add integration tests for `CardEditModal`**: The modal is only covered via visual inspection; unit tests for `createLabeledInput`/`createLabeledTextarea` id/for linkage would prevent a11y regressions.
+- **Audit remaining hardcoded English strings**: Checked ui-helpers, modal, batch — other components (e.g., `settings-tab.ts` inline placeholders) may still have English-only strings not covered by the i18n system.
