# 2026-04-13 — Switch UX/UI tooling to self-hosted Penpot

**Timestamp:** 2026-04-13T03:00:00

## Summary

Decided to use self-hosted Penpot instead of Figma for UX/UI design work. Penpot will run in a dedicated LXC container on the user's server; the `ux-designer` agent connects to it via the Penpot REST API using WebFetch — no MCP server required. Setup is pending for the next session.

## Decision rationale

- Full self-hosting control, no SaaS dependency or monthly cost
- Penpot REST API is directly accessible via WebFetch (no MCP server needed)
- User is experienced with self-hosting Docker/LXC infrastructure
- Open-source (MPL 2.0), actively maintained

## Files Modified

- `.claude/agents/ux-designer.md` — replaced Figma MCP instructions with Penpot REST API setup guide; added ⚠ next-session checklist with all steps to complete before UX work can begin
- `TODO.md` — added UX/UI Penpot setup section with five actionable items
- `changelog/2026-04-13_penpot-decision.md` — this file
