+**Notes:** Comprehensive adaptive component behavior system implemented with:
+
+- **Consistent Scaling & Touch Targets (44px minimum)**:
+  - CSS variables system with `--min-tap-target-size: 44px` and responsive variants
+  - All interactive elements (buttons, form controls, navigation) ensure minimum 44px touch targets across devices
+  - Responsive button scaling: `.btn-responsive-*` utilities with breakpoint-specific sizing
+  - Mobile-safe navigation with enhanced touch targets (max-width: 767px)
+
+- **Responsive Component States**:
+  - Complete breakpoint override system (xs/sm/md/lg/xl/2xl) for all components:
+    - Buttons: Adaptive padding, font sizes, and minimum heights based on viewport
+    - Cards: Responsive padding that scales from compact mobile to spacious desktop
+    - Forms: Adaptive input sizing and spacing across breakpoints
+    - Chat messages: Dynamic text scaling and maximum widths responsive to container
+    - Video player: Header and control element responsive sizing
+  - Container query support for size-aware responsive design (@container rules)
+  - Component-specific responsive utilities (.btn-responsive-*, .card-responsive-*, .message-responsive-*)
+
+- **Cross-Device Interaction Patterns**:
+  - **Mobile (< 640px)**: Touch-optimized with swipe gestures (chat toggle, fullscreen), pull-to-refresh, double-tap fullscreen, bottom navigation overlay
+  - **Tablet (640px-1023px)**: Swipe-to-seek video controls, touch-friendly scaling, side-by-side layout maintained
+  - **Desktop (≥ 1024px)**: Mouse-focused interactions, no conflicting touch gestures, full feature access
+  - Device detection and appropriate interaction mode selection in ui-controls.js
+
+- **Advanced Responsive Features**:
+  - Container queries enable components to respond to parent container size, not just viewport
+  - Fluid typography scaling with clamp() functions for smooth font size transitions
+  - Automatic layout adaptation (mobile: stacked/vertical, tablet: side-by-side, desktop: enhanced)
+  - Touch gesture handling with proper passive event listeners for performance
+  - Mobile navigation with safe area support for notched devices
+
+All components now consistently scale and behave appropriately across devices while maintaining 44px minimum touch targets. Touch and mouse interaction patterns are optimized for their respective input methods with device-specific gesture support. Responsive behavior verified across 6 breakpoints from xs (320px) to 2xl (1536px+) with smooth transitions between states.
