 The "Add to History" functionality is now fully operational. When users draw prompts from the pool, select one, and click "Use Selected Prompt", the prompt is actually added to the history cyclic buffer, and the page refreshes to show the updated most recent prompt.
+
+## UI Cleanup Tasks Completed ✓
+
+### Task 1: Hide 'Use selected prompt' button in default view ✓
+**Problem**: The "Use selected prompt" button was always visible, even in the default view when showing the most recent prompt from history.
+
+**Solution**: Modified the `PromptDisplay` component to conditionally show the button only when `viewMode === 'drawn'` (i.e., when the user has drawn new prompts from the pool and needs to select one).
+
+**Result**: Cleaner interface where the "Use Selected Prompt" button only appears when relevant to the user's current action.
+
+### Task 2: Remove browser alert after pool refill ✓
+**Problem**: After successfully filling the prompt pool, a browser alert was shown, which was unnecessary and disruptive.
+
+**Solution**: Removed the `alert()` calls from both `PromptDisplay.jsx` and `StatsDashboard.jsx` in the `handleFillPool` functions. The UI now provides feedback through:
+- Updated pool fullness percentage in the "Fill Prompt Pool" button
+- Refreshed statistics in the StatsDashboard
+- Visual progress bar updates
+
+**Result**: Smoother user experience without disruptive popups.
+
+### Task 3: Replace "pool needs refilling" text with progress bar button ✓
+**Problem**: The UI had redundant "pool needs refilling" text and a lower button to refill the pool.
+
+**Solution**:
+1. **Removed "pool needs refilling" text** from `StatsDashboard.jsx`:
+   - Removed conditional text showing "Needs refill" or "Pool is full"
+   - Removed "Pool needs refilling" text from Quick Insights list
+   - Removed the lower conditional "Fill Prompt Pool" button
+
+2. **Enhanced "Fill Prompt Pool" button** in `PromptDisplay.jsx`:
+   - Added progress bar visualization inside the button
+   - Shows current pool fullness as a colored overlay (`{poolStats.total}/{poolStats.target}`)
+   - Displays percentage fullness below the button
+   - Button text now shows current pool count (e.g., "Fill Prompt Pool (8/20)")
+
+**Result**: Cleaner, more informative interface where the primary "Fill Prompt Pool" button serves dual purpose:
+- Action button to refill the pool
+- Visual indicator of current pool fullness
+- No redundant UI elements or confusing messages
+
+### Verification
+- ✅ Docker containers running successfully (backend, frontend, frontend-dev)
+- ✅ All API endpoints responding correctly
+- ✅ Frontend accessible at http://localhost:3000
+- ✅ Backend documentation available at http://localhost:8000/docs
+- ✅ "Use Selected Prompt" button only shown when drawing new prompts
+- ✅ No browser alerts after pool refill
+- ✅ "Fill Prompt Pool" button shows pool fullness as progress bar
+- ✅ No "pool needs refilling" text or redundant buttons
+
+The UI cleanup is now complete, providing a cleaner, more intuitive user experience while maintaining all functionality.
+
+## Additional UI Cleanup Tasks Completed ✓
+
+### Task 1: Main writing prompt (top of history) should not be selectable at all ✓
+**Problem**: The main writing prompt from history was selectable with a cursor pointer and click handler, even though users only need to select prompts when drawing from the pool.
+
+**Solution**: Modified the `PromptDisplay` component to conditionally apply click handlers and cursor styles:
+- Only prompts in `viewMode === 'drawn'` are clickable
+- History prompts show "Most recent from history" instead of "Click to select"
+- No cursor pointer or selection UI for history prompts
+
+**Result**: Cleaner interface where users only interact with prompts when they need to make a selection.
+
+### Task 2: Remove browser popup alert when picking a prompt ✓
+**Problem**: When users picked a prompt, a browser alert was shown with success message.
+
+**Solution**: Removed the `alert()` call from the `handleAddToHistory` function in `PromptDisplay.jsx`. The UI now provides feedback through:
+- Page refresh showing updated history (most recent prompt)
+- Updated pool statistics
+- Visual state changes in the interface
+
+**Result**: Smoother user experience without disruptive popups.
+
+### Task 3: Refresh displayed pool stats when user draws from pool and picks ✓
+**Problem**: When users drew from the pool and picked a prompt, the displayed pool stats became obsolete (pool size decreases by 1).
+
+**Solution**: Updated the `handleAddToHistory` function to also call `fetchPoolStats()` after successfully adding a prompt to history. This ensures:
+- Pool statistics are always current
+- Progress bars and counts reflect actual pool state
+- Users see accurate information about available prompts
+
+**Result**: Always-accurate pool statistics with minimal API calls.
+
+### Task 4: Remove draw and refill actions from Quick Actions box, replace with API docs link ✓
+**Problem**: The Quick Actions box had redundant buttons for "Draw 3 Prompts" and "Fill Pool" that duplicated functionality in the main prompt display.
+
+**Solution**:
+- Removed "Draw 3 Prompts" and "Fill Pool" buttons from Quick Actions
+- Added "API Documentation" button linking to `/docs` (FastAPI Swagger UI)
+- Kept "View History (API)" button for direct API access
+
+**Result**: Cleaner Quick Actions panel with useful developer tools instead of redundant UI controls.
+
+### Task 5: Change footer copyright to 2026 ✓
+**Problem**: Footer copyright showed 2024.
+
+**Solution**: Updated `Layout.astro` to change copyright from "2024" to "2026".
+
+**Result**: Updated copyright year reflecting current development.
+
+### Verification
+- ✅ All Docker containers running successfully (backend, frontend, frontend-dev)
+- ✅ All API endpoints responding correctly
+- ✅ Frontend accessible at http://localhost:3000
+- ✅ Backend documentation available at http://localhost:8000/docs
+- ✅ History prompts not selectable (no cursor pointer, no click handler)
+- ✅ No browser alerts when picking prompts
+- ✅ Pool stats refresh automatically after picking prompts
+- ✅ Quick Actions box shows API tools instead of redundant buttons
+- ✅ Footer copyright updated to 2026
+
+All UI cleanup tasks have been successfully completed, resulting in a polished, intuitive web application with no redundant controls, no disruptive alerts, and accurate real-time data.
