 # Changelog
 
+## Sprint 84 Data workspace density polish (2026-06-20)
+
+- Added selected-summary regions to Project, AOI and Dataset panels so active context is visible before forms.
+- Split Data workspace panels into named form/list/catalog blocks to reduce form-first scanning friction.
+- Restyled dataset upload as an embedded source-data block while preserving the existing upload flow.
+- Added static regression coverage for Data workspace selected-summary, upload and catalog density contracts.
+- No API contracts, migrations, backend behavior, provider fetching or AI model behavior changed.

 ## Sprint 83 Workspace panel hierarchy polish (2026-06-20)

+## Sprint 84 Data workspace density polish (2026-06-20)
+
+Changed:
+- Added selected-summary regions to Project, AOI and Dataset panels so the active data context appears before creation/upload forms.
+- Split Project and AOI panels into `data-panel-form-block` and `data-panel-list-block` regions.
+- Split Dataset catalog into selected dataset, upload source data and available dataset regions.
+- Restyled dataset upload as an embedded source-data block while preserving the existing upload flow.
+- Added `backend/tests/test_sprint84_data_workspace_density.py`.
+- Updated `frontend/README.md`, `docs/TODO.md` and `CHANGELOG.md`.
+
+Tested:
+- Live browser pre-check against `http://192.168.10.150:1202` showed Data workspace had no console errors or horizontal overflow, but the first Data viewport was still form-first and visually heavy.
+- Red step: `python -m pytest backend/tests/test_sprint84_data_workspace_density.py -q` failed on missing selected-summary and named form/list/catalog regions.
+- `python -m pytest backend/tests/test_sprint84_data_workspace_density.py -q` (`3 passed`)

+- `cd frontend && npm run typecheck`
+- `cd frontend && npm run build`
+
+Open:
+- Full readiness, deployment and live browser verification still need to run for this pass.
+
+Limitations:
+- Frontend Data workspace presentation hierarchy only; no upload behavior, API contract, persistence, migration, provider fetching or AI/model changes.
+
+Next recommended pass:
+- Continue with Map workspace panel hierarchy and layer-control density after this pass is deployed and visually checked.

 - The workbench shell includes a compact command bar, consistent raised/sunken surfaces, structured empty states and scroll-safe AI result tables to keep the V1 workflow usable across desktop and mobile widths.
 - The shell includes a keyboard skip link, an explicit primary workspace navigation label and compact horizontal context/navigation rails on narrow screens so active workspace content is reachable without a tall preamble.
 - The Overview workspace separates readiness, status tiles and recommended next actions into distinct visual hierarchy regions, keeping the first screen scannable without changing workflow behavior.
+- The Data workspace surfaces selected project, AOI and dataset context before creation/upload forms, then separates form and catalog/list regions for faster scanning.
 - The Export Center includes a handoff readiness summary, grouped artifact actions and provenance-rich export cards so report/GeoJSON handoff stays understandable in long-running demo projects.
