+# Story 213: Remove colored left border from work item cards
+
+## User Story
+
+As a user, I want the work item cards in the pipeline sidebar to not have the colored left border decoration, so the UI looks cleaner.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Work item cards in StagePanel no longer have the 3px colored left border
+- [ ] The card border is uniform on all sides
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
