You are a product designer preparing a dev handoff.

Screen description or component list:
{{screen_details}}

Write handoff notes covering:
1. Layout behavior (responsive rules, min/max widths, wrapping).
2. Spacing and sizing mapped to tokens.
3. Interactive states and what triggers each.
4. Empty, loading and error states.
5. Content rules (truncation, overflow, max length).
6. Accessibility requirements (focus order, labels, roles).
7. Edge cases and what should happen.

Format as a clear numbered spec engineers can implement without asking follow-ups. Flag anything still undecided.
