UI/UX: Improve visual clarity and consistency

- Align status bars with label padding (HP, Stamina, XP) - Add clear combat turn indicators (YOUR TURN / ENEMY TURN) - Display HP/Stamina bars in inventory menu and usage - Add consistent separators between sections - Improve feedback for item usage with visible stat changes Files modified: - bot/utils.py: Added label_width parameter to format_stat_bar() - bot/combat.py: Turn headers and separators - bot/inventory_handlers.py: HP/Stamina display - bot/action_handlers.py: Separator placement fix See docs/development/UI_UX_IMPROVEMENTS.md for details

+# UI/UX Improvements - Visual Clarity & Consistency
+
+**Date:** October 20, 2025  
+**Status:** ✅ Complete
+
+## Overview
+
+Improved visual clarity and consistency across all game interfaces with better alignment, turn indicators, and status bar visibility.
+
+## Changes Implemented
+
+### 1. **Aligned Status Bars**
+
+**Problem:** HP and Stamina labels had different lengths, causing misalignment:
+```
+❤️ HP: ███████░░░ 70% (70/100)
+⚡ Stamina: █████░░░░░ 50% (50/100)
+          ^ Not aligned
+```
+
+**Solution:** Added label padding in `format_stat_bar()`:
+```python
+def format_stat_bar(label: str, emoji: str, current: int, maximum: int, 
+                    bar_length: int = 10, label_width: int = 7) -> str:
+    padded_label = f"{label}:".ljust(label_width + 1)
+    return f"{emoji} {padded_label} {bar} {percentage}% ({current}/{maximum})"
+```
+
+**Result:**
+```
+❤️ HP:      ███████░░░ 70% (70/100)
+⚡ Stamina: █████░░░░░ 50% (50/100)
+            ^ Perfectly aligned!
+```
+
+### 2. **Clear Combat Turn Indicators**
+
+**Problem:** Combat messages could be confusing - couldn't tell whose turn it was.
+
+**Solution:** Added visual separators for turns:
+
+**Player Attack:**
+```
+━━━ YOUR TURN ━━━
+⚔️ You attack the Feral Dog for 15 damage!
+💥 CRITICAL HIT!
+🌟 You stunned the Feral Dog!
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+🐕 Feral Dog: ███░░░░░░░ 30% (15/50)
+```
+
+**Enemy Attack:**
+```
+━━━ ENEMY TURN ━━━
+💥 The Feral Dog attacks you for 8 damage!
+🩸 You're bleeding!
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+❤️ Your HP:    ████████░░ 82% (82/100)
+🐕 Feral Dog:  ███░░░░░░░ 30% (15/50)
+```
+
+### 3. **HP/Stamina Bars in Inventory**
+
+**Problem:** Couldn't see current HP/Stamina when using items - had to back out to check.
+
+**Solution:** Added status bars to inventory views:
+
+**Inventory Menu:**
+```
+🎒 Your Inventory:
+❤️ HP:      ███████░░░ 70% (70/100)
+⚡ Stamina: █████░░░░░ 50% (50/100)
+📊 Weight: 15/50 kg
+📦 Volume: 30/100 vol
+```
+
+**After Using Item:**
+```
+🎒 Your Inventory:
+❤️ HP:      ██████████ 100% (100/100)  ← Updated!
+⚡ Stamina: ████████░░ 75% (75/100)     ← Updated!
+📊 Weight: 14/50 kg
+📦 Volume: 28/100 vol
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+✨ Used 💊 Bandage
+❤️ HP: +30
+```
+
+### 4. **Item Effect Preview**
+
+Item details now show what effects they'll have:
+
+```
+💊 Bandage
+First aid supplies for treating wounds
+
+Weight: 0.2 kg | Volume: 1 vol
+Effects: ❤️ +30 HP
+
+[Use] [Drop] [Back]
+```
+
+### 5. **Consistent Section Separators**
+
+Used `━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━` (20 chars) consistently to separate:
+- Status from description (main menu)
+- Status from action results (inventory use)
+- Turn actions from combat status (combat)
+
+## Files Modified
+
+### `bot/utils.py`
+- Updated `format_stat_bar()` to add `label_width` parameter
+- Labels are now padded for consistent alignment
+- Default width: 7 characters (fits "Stamina:")
+
+### `bot/combat.py`
+- Added `"━━━ YOUR TURN ━━━"` header to player attacks
+- Added `"━━━ ENEMY TURN ━━━"` header to NPC attacks
+- Added separator line before combat status display
+- Improved HP bar display after each turn
+
+### `bot/inventory_handlers.py`
+- Added HP/Stamina bars to `handle_inventory_menu()`
+- Added HP/Stamina bars to `handle_inventory_use()`
+- Added separator line between status and usage result
+- Refreshed player data after item use to show updated stats
+
+### `bot/action_handlers.py`
+- Fixed separator placement in `get_player_status_text()`
+- Now separates equipment/stats from location description
+
+## Visual Examples
+
+### Before & After: Main Menu
+
+**Before:**
+```
+📍 Location: Downtown Plaza
+❤️ HP: 70/100 | ⚡️ Stamina: 50/100
+🎒 Load: 15/50 kg | 30/100 vol
+⚔️ Equipped: 🔧 Wrench, 🎒 Backpack
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━A desolate plaza...
+```
+
+**After:**
+```
+📍 Location: Downtown Plaza
+❤️ HP:      ███████░░░ 70% (70/100)
+⚡ Stamina: █████░░░░░ 50% (50/100)
+🎒 Load: 15/50 kg | 30/100 vol
+⚔️ Equipped: 🔧 Wrench, 🎒 Backpack
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+A desolate plaza, once bustling with life...
+```
+
+### Before & After: Combat
+
+**Before:**
+```
+⚔️ You attack the Feral Dog for 15 damage!
+💥 CRITICAL HIT!
+🐕 Feral Dog: 15/50 HP
+```
+
+**After:**
+```
+━━━ YOUR TURN ━━━
+⚔️ You attack the Feral Dog for 15 damage!
+💥 CRITICAL HIT!
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+🐕 Feral Dog: ███░░░░░░░ 30% (15/50)
+```
+
+### Before & After: Inventory Use
+
+**Before:**
+```
+🎒 Your Inventory:
+📊 Weight: 14/50 kg
+📦 Volume: 28/100 vol
+
+Used 💊 Bandage
+
+❤️ HP: +30
+```
+
+**After:**
+```
+🎒 Your Inventory:
+❤️ HP:      ██████████ 100% (100/100)
+⚡ Stamina: ████████░░ 75% (75/100)
+📊 Weight: 14/50 kg
+📦 Volume: 28/100 vol
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+✨ Used 💊 Bandage
+❤️ HP: +30
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+✅ **Better Alignment** - All status bars line up perfectly  
+✅ **Clear Turn Indication** - Always know whose turn it is in combat  
+✅ **Visible Stats** - See HP/Stamina without leaving inventory  
+✅ **Consistent Separators** - Visual hierarchy is clear  
+✅ **Better Feedback** - See immediate effects of item usage  
+✅ **Professional Look** - More polished, game-like interface  
+
+## Testing
+
+All changes tested and verified:
+- ✅ Status bars align correctly
+- ✅ Combat turn headers display properly
+- ✅ Inventory shows current HP/Stamina
+- ✅ Item usage updates stats correctly
+- ✅ Separators display consistently
+- ✅ No errors in any module
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Possible improvements:
+- Color-coded bars (red for low HP, yellow for medium)
+- Animated transitions (Telegram doesn't support this natively)
+- Sound effects on critical hits (also not supported)
+- Status effect icons (🩸 🌟 etc already implemented)
+
+---
+
+**Implementation Complete!** The game now has a much more polished and professional feel with consistent, clear visual feedback throughout all interfaces.
