Research direction

Start in app/(main)/chat/page.tsx around lines 464-470 and compare the existing button with app/components/ui/Button.tsx. Replace the hand-rolled button with the shared Button using the primary variant and size="sm", preserving handleNewChat. Done means the New chat action uses the shared primary styling and stands out consistently in the Chat page header.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?
The "New chat" button in the Chat page header does not appear as a proper primary action, rendering instead as a faint outline style. This diminishes its visibility and importance as an action.

Describe the solution you'd like
Update the button to use the shared Button component with the primary variant:

  • Replace the current <button> with the <Button> component from app/components/ui/Button.tsx
  • Ensure it is consistent with the rest of the app's UI
Original issue

Problem

The "New chat" button in the Chat page header does not look like a proper primary action — it currently renders as a plain <button> with hand-rolled outline-style classes instead of using the shared Button component.

File: app/(main)/chat/page.tsx (~line 464-470)

<button
  type="button"
  onClick={handleNewChat}
  className="px-3 py-1.5 rounded-full text-xs font-medium border border-border bg-bg-primary text-text-primary hover:bg-neutral-50 transition-colors cursor-pointer"
>
  New chat
</button>

This mimics the outline variant of app/components/ui/Button.tsx, making it look faint/secondary.

Expected

Use the shared Button component with the primary (default) variant so "New chat" reads as a proper button, consistent with the rest of the app:

<Button onClick={handleNewChat} size="sm">New chat</Button>

Screenshot (current, faint outline look)

Button top-right blends into the header instead of standing out as a primary action.
