+## 🎨 Design Features
+
+### Auto Mode (Default)
+- **Desktop:** Table view for detailed information
+- **Mobile:** Card view for touch-friendly interaction
+- **Responsive breakpoint:** 860px
+
+### Card Mode
+- **All screens:** Card layout regardless of size
+- **Grid:** Auto-fit columns with 320px minimum
+- **Content:** Condensed issue information in card format
+
+### Table Mode  
+- **All screens:** Table layout regardless of size
+- **Scrolling:** Horizontal scroll on narrow screens
+- **Content:** Full detailed information display
+
+## 🚀 Technical Implementation
+
+### State Management
+```elixir
+# View mode in socket assigns
+view_mode: "auto" | "card" | "table"
+
+# URL parameter integration
+?v=2&tab=issues&mode=card
+```
+
+### CSS Media Queries
+```css
+/* Auto mode responsive behavior */
+@media (min-width: 861px) {
+  [data-view-mode="auto"] .issues-card-grid { display: none; }
+  [data-view-mode="auto"] .table-wrap { display: block; }
+}
+
+@media (max-width: 860px) {
+  [data-view-mode="auto"] .issues-card-grid { display: grid; }
+  [data-view-mode="auto"] .table-wrap { display: none; }
+}
+```
+
+### Preference Persistence
+```javascript
+// Save to localStorage
+localStorage.setItem('symphony_dashboard_view_mode', mode);
+
+// Load on mount
+const savedMode = localStorage.getItem('symphony_dashboard_view_mode');
+```
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+### Manual Testing URLs
+- Auto mode: `http://localhost:4000/?v=2&mode=auto`
+- Card mode: `http://localhost:4000/?v=2&mode=card`  
+- Table mode: `http://localhost:4000/?v=2&mode=table`
+
+### Test Coverage
+- ✅ View mode toggle functionality
+- ✅ Responsive breakpoint behavior
+- ✅ Preference persistence across sessions
+- ✅ URL parameter handling
+- ✅ Mobile touch interaction
+- ✅ Desktop table functionality
+
+## 📱 Mobile Optimizations
+
+### Card Layout Benefits

+- **Scannable:** Visual hierarchy with cards
+- **Compact:** Essential info in condensed format
+- **Responsive:** Single column on narrow screens
+
+### Navigation Improvements
+- **Toggle position:** Centered on mobile
+- **Icon-only mode:** Text hidden below 640px
+- **Sticky behavior:** Navigation follows scroll
+
+## 🔄 Integration with Existing Features
+
+### Preserved Functionality
+- ✅ Issue detail pages and deep linking
+- ✅ Tab navigation (Overview/Issues/Metrics)
+- ✅ Quick actions and jump navigation
+- ✅ Real-time updates via LiveView
+- ✅ Enhanced navigation keyboard shortcuts
+
+### Enhanced Functionality
