# Chat Panel

The Chat Panel is where information enters the system through natural conversation. As messages are processed, the panel displays inline integrity signals - pipeline progress stages, state activity pills, conflict notifications, and gate results.

**The Chat Panel is designed for operational continuity.** Integrity feedback appears alongside conversation rather than in a separate compliance workflow.
