 How DeckCraft looks and feels next to PowerPoint: the shell, the ribbon, menus, panes, dialogs,
 direct manipulation, keyboard and precision. Observations of PowerPoint are kept locally in
 `plan/powerpoint/01-observed-ui.md` and `menu-tree.txt` (gitignored, clean-room rules in
 AGENTS.md §2). Dimension score: **~60% ready** (estimated), **30–50 h** to parity.
 
+## Empty list paragraphs
+
+While editing slide text, empty bulleted and numbered paragraphs show gray markers at the list's
+indent, including the first click into a content placeholder and the paragraph after Enter.
+Typing gives the marker its normal text color. These temporary markers are hidden when editing
+ends and are omitted from thumbnails, slide shows and exports.
