 ## List detail
 
-`/lists/:id` shows one list's items. Each row is a checkbox, an inline-editable
-text field (saved on blur), a delete button, and a drag handle. Reordering uses
-`vuedraggable`; on drop the whole new order is persisted via

+`/lists/:id` shows one list. The title and description are inline-editable
+(saved on blur via `PATCH /api/lists/:id`; the description shows an "Add a
+description" placeholder when empty). A **Manage** menu (top right) has a
+**Delete list** action that opens a confirmation modal; confirming calls
+`DELETE /api/lists/:id` and returns to the all-lists view.
