+
+**Added getTierLabel() helper, gradient track fill via --slider-fill CSS custom property, and centered tier label + numeric value below the personality slider**
+
+## What Happened
+
+Three visual feedback enhancements to the personality slider: getTierLabel() maps weight ranges to 5 tier labels matching the backend interpolation tiers; gradient track fill via --slider-fill CSS custom property on both webkit and moz pseudo-elements; centered tier info row with label and tabular-nums numeric value. Wrapped sliderRow in sliderSection container for clean grouping.
+
+## Verification
+
+Frontend build passes clean (cd frontend && npm run build, exit 0). Backend personality tests all pass (cd backend && python -m pytest tests/test_chat.py -v -k personality, 11/11 passed).
+
+## Verification Evidence
+
+| # | Command | Exit Code | Verdict | Duration |
+|---|---------|-----------|---------|----------|
+| 1 | `cd frontend && npm run build` | 0 | ✅ pass | 6800ms |
+| 2 | `cd backend && python -m pytest tests/test_chat.py -v -k personality` | 0 | ✅ pass | 3900ms |
+
+
+## Deviations
+
+Added .sliderSection wrapper div to group slider row and tier info under one border-bottom — minor structural improvement not in original plan.

+## Known Issues
