+### Phase 2: Notebook List Screen (2026-03-24)
+
+- [x] 2.1: MainActivity with Compose NavHost (three routes: notebooks, pages, editor)
+- [x] 2.2: NotebookListViewModel with StateFlow, create/delete operations
+- [x] 2.3: NotebookListScreen — lazy list, create dialog (title + page size radio),
+  long-press delete with confirmation, empty state
+- [x] 2.4: Auto-create page 1 in NotebookRepository.create()
+- [x] 2.5: Navigation wired — tap notebook → pages stub, editor stub
+- EngPadTheme: high-contrast light color scheme (black on white for e-ink)
+
 ## In Progress
