You are being dispatched from flower Brief #105: Install FluxUI + FluxUI Pro (Flux Pro license from vodmanager auth.json) — foundational UI toolkit

Recall pointer:
- Use recall_brief with id 105 for the full folder if you need provenance.

Target:
- project: flower (/Users/mikeferrara/Documents/code/flower)
- branch: flower/105-fluxui-install
- worktree: not specified
- kind: fresh

Current brief spec:
(no spec yet)

This is a direct request, not a fully-specced plan. If it's clear, resolve it. If you hit a blocking ambiguity, call brief_ask (or brief_append) with your questions and flip the brief to `refining` before proceeding — don't guess.

Recent/key trace events:
[1] participant_joined flower-orchestrator: (no body)
[2] note_added flower-orchestrator: Operator (2026-07-03): flower was NOT built on a starter kit, so FluxUI was never installed — but several UI briefs (and the operator) assume it (e.g. "fluxui confirm" for the #91 global shutdown). Install it properly as a foundational UI toolkit so subsequent UI work can use Flux (modals/confirms, form controls, etc.).

## License / source (verified)
- The Flux Pro license lives in **`/Users/mikeferrara/Documents/code/vodmanager/auth.json`** (276 bytes; http-basic creds for `composer.fluxui.dev`). Copy it to the flower project root so composer can pull flux-pro. **auth.json is SENSITIVE + gitignored — do NOT commit it.** Confirm flower's .gitignore already ignores auth.json (add it if not).
- vodmanager uses `livewire/flux ^2.13.1` + `livewire/flux-pro ^2.14`, with a composer repo `{"type":"composer","url":"https://composer.fluxui.dev"}`. Mirror those versions.

## Steps
1. Add the composer repository (type composer, url https://composer.fluxui.dev) to flower's composer.json.
2. Place auth.json (from vodmanager) at flower's project root (uncommitted).
3. `composer require livewire/flux livewire/flux-pro` (match vodmanager's versions).
4. `php artisan flux:install` — wire the directives into the app layout: `@fluxAppearance` in `<head>`, `@fluxScripts` before `</body>` (find flower's root layout in resources/views/components/layouts/*). Publish what's needed.
5. Tailwind/CSS: add Flux's source paths so its classes are compiled (flower uses Tailwind; check resources/css/app.css / tailwind content globs). Rebuild assets if the pipeline needs it.
6. **Coexist with "bloom":** flower has a custom dark "bloom" design system (resources/views/components/ui/*). Do NOT rip it out. Add Flux alongside it, and configure Flux's appearance to DARK to match bloom. Goal is Flux available as a toolkit for new work + gradual adoption, not a rewrite.
7. Verify: render a Flux component (e.g. `<flux:button>` / a `flux:modal`) on a scratch or existing page and confirm it displays + is styled correctly on flower.test.

## Orchestrator MERGE-side notes (I'll handle on MAIN)
- After merge on MAIN: copy auth.json → MAIN root, `composer install` (pulls flux/flux-pro into MAIN's vendor), rebuild assets, verify Flux renders on flower.test. composer.lock changes → the merge must bring the lock; MAIN composer install reconciles vendor.

## Constraints
- Keep `php artisan test` green; `./vendor/bin/pint`. Commit composer.json + composer.lock + config/layout/tailwind/css changes with trailer `Brief: #<this-id>`. Do NOT commit auth.json.

## Follow-ups (after this lands)
- Revisit #91's global-shutdown confirm (built with wire:confirm) to optionally use `flux:modal` for the enumerated confirm. #96/#92/#93 and future UI can use Flux. Not required for this brief.

Execution notes:
- Treat the brief as the source of truth.
- Keep work scoped to this dispatch request.
- Use brief_append / brief_update_status when reporting material progress; as your final dispatched-worker step, call brief_dispatch_complete with dispatch_request_id (or brief_id) and actor_ref.
- Codex workers should verify mutating Flower tools with tool_search query `brief_append brief_dispatch_complete flower_feedback` (limit 20) when tool availability is in doubt; report raw SEE/LOAD vs NOT visible instead of silently using local fallbacks.
- Add a git commit trailer `Brief: #105` to every commit for this brief so flower can exact-link commits back to the brief.

    MERGED to master on MAIN by orchestrator daemon 10 (proc 996). Design agent 1002 (flower-design) built commit 03d3007; merged --no-ff as 5142da7. MAIN post-merge sequence done: auth.json copied to MAIN root (gitignored, for composer), `composer install` pulled livewire/flux + livewire/flux-pro (v2.15.0) cleanly — Flux Pro license worked, no auth errors; `npm run build` succeeded (app.css 351KB incl. Flux, app.js 75KB); full suite 659 pass/1 skip, pint clean; flower.test /roster + /briefs both 200. FluxUI is now available site-wide, dark by default via flower's theme bridge (mirrors [data-theme] → .dark, pins flux.appearance, accent → bloom amber), coexisting with bloom. No job code changed → no horizon:terminate (composer install adds view-layer packages only; running Horizon/Reverb unaffected). Unblocked #92 + #93. Design agent 1002 closed (orchestrator cycling out; successor re-spawns design lanes for #92/#93/#96 as needed).

    ✅ FluxUI + Flux Pro installed on branch `flower/105-fluxui-install` (worktree flower-design). Commit `03d3007c9d84db2772c992b2bb166f06d0881001`. ## Versions - `livewire/flux ^2.13.1` + `livewire/flux-pro ^2.14` → both resolved to **v2.15.0** (matches vodmanager's constraints). Note: there is **no `flux:install` artisan command** in Flux 2.15 (only `flux:activate` / `flux:icon` / `flux:publish`); setup is manual. Pro is licensed at the composer level via auth.json — no runtime activation needed. ## Files changed (5, committed) - **composer.json** — added `{"type":"composer","url":"https://composer.fluxui.dev"}` repo + the two requires. - **composer.lock** — flux + flux-pro 2.15.0. - **resources/css/app.css** — `@import` flux.css; `@source` the flux + flux-pro stubs; standard `.dark` `@custom-variant`; plus an unlayered **"Flux accent bridge"** mapping Flux's `--color-accent*` onto flower's lamplight (`--accent` / `--fg-onaccent`) so Flux controls wear bloom's amber in BOTH themes instead of Flux's default zinc/white. - **resources/views/components/layouts/app.blade.php** — `@fluxAppearance` in `<head>`, `@fluxScripts` before `</body>`, default `<html class="dark">`; extended the pre-paint script to mirror `[data-theme]` onto the `.dark` class + pin `localStorage['flux.appearance']`. - **resources/js/app.js** — `setTheme()` now also toggles `.dark` + sets `flux.appearance`. ## Dark integration (the key decision) Flux's precompiled CSS keys its dark palette off the **`.dark` class**, but flower's bloom uses **`[data-theme]`** (dark = default `:root`, light = `[data-theme='light']`). So rather than let `@fluxAppearance` follow the OS (which would render Flux light on a light-OS machine, clashing with bloom), flower's theme is made the **single source of truth**: pre-paint + `setTheme()` mirror flower's state onto `.dark` and `flux.appearance`. One toggle now drives both systems in lockstep, and Flux is dark by default regardless of OS. Bloom (`resources/views/components/ui/*`) is untouched — Flux coexists. ## Verified (scratch route, then removed) Browser check with Flux + **Pro** components (`flux:card`, `flux:modal`, `flux:button`, `flux:input`, `flux:select`, `flux:badge`): all render **dark**; primary/modal buttons show flower's **amber**; the modal open/close exercises `@fluxScripts` JS; the theme toggle flips **bloom + Flux together** to light and back. (Caught + fixed one bug mid-verify: a literal `@fluxAppearance` inside a JS `//` comment in the pre-paint script got compiled by Blade and leaked script text — reworded the comment.) ## Gates `php artisan test` green (**659 passed, 1 skipped**, 4525 assertions); `pint --dirty` clean. ## NOT committed (per spec) auth.json (present at worktree root, gitignored — confirmed `git ls-files auth.json` empty). `solo.yml` (pre-existing untracked, not mine) left alone. Did not merge/push, did not run Horizon/daemons (only a transient `artisan serve` on :8127 for the browser check, now stopped). ## Orchestrator merge-side (from spec, unchanged): on MAIN — copy auth.json → root, `composer install`, `npm run build` (public/build is gitignored so assets aren't in this commit), verify on flower.test.
