single-primary-action-pathDefine one primary action path per page, panel, route, or arena view.
One clear action beats three polite distractions.ACTION PATH COMPRESSION GATE
If the user knows the action, do not make them walk through three doors.
A dynamic, read-only UX compression gate that defines one-primary-action paths, duplicate menu reduction, footer repetition control, mobile circle deduplication, decorative bubble limits, corner status posture, and future arena-loaded actions.

ACTION PATH COMPRESSION
One action. One path. No hallway theater.
TheoB should feel instant. Menus collapse. Footers stop repeating the app. Decorative bubbles shrink. Mobile duplicates disappear. Common actions go direct. The arena receives the work instead of forcing a new page every time.

Action Path Compression Gate is active as a non-destructive UX compression readiness layer. TheoB can define primary action path rules, duplicate menu detection, footer repetition reduction, mobile circle deduplication, decorative bubble limits, corner status posture, and direct-action routing candidates, but it cannot mutate live pages, remove components, execute actions, load routes into the arena, or mutate production yet.

One Primary Path Per PageEvery page or arena view should have one obvious primary action path.
Confusion scales faster than features.ready
Two Paths Only When NecessaryA second path is allowed only when it handles fallback, review, import, safety, or a truly common alternate intent.
Do not give users a maze and call it choice.ready
Action Buttons Must ActButtons, black bubbles, and strong pills should represent meaningful action, not decoration.
If it looks powerful, it should do something powerful.ready
Menus Can Be TextDense menus should use text links with hover states instead of bubble backgrounds when space matters.
Every link does not need a costume.ready
Footer Does Not Repeat The AppFooters should not duplicate the full nav, full branch menu, bottom dock, and mobile controls.

Instant Actions Beat HallwaysCommon actions should trigger directly or open inside the arena instead of sending users through multiple intermediate pages.
A hallway is not a feature.ready
