Public detail at /global-items/:id	User conversation	With "Add to Collection" button
No visual distinction reference vs standalone	User conversation	Same layout, fields may be empty
Edit via toggle button, not inline by default	User conversation	Clean aesthetic priority
Candidates get detail pages too	User conversation	Same pattern as items
Remove all slide-out panels	User conversation	Both item and candidate panels
