segment 1 of 4

Create DESIGN.md brand reference from thedarkroom.com

Done

Fetched and analyzed thedarkroom.com homepage and key pages (film-developing, prints) using curl and CSS extraction. Extracted brand colors (teal #42ADA8, crimson #C12D43, navies #2D4664/#0F243F, charcoal #2F2B2C), typography (Montserrat headings, Roboto body), and brand voice. Wrote DESIGN.md at repo root with palette, typography, FluxUI theme mapping, QC carve-out, and do/don't list. Posted READY FOR REVIEW on todo 417.

outcome

DESIGN.md created and approved by operator.

key decisions

  • Brand teal #42ADA8 as primary accent, crimson #C12D43 reserved for destructive actions only in internal tool
  • QC views must use neutral gray-800/900 with desaturated teal only, per CLAUDE.md hard constraint
  • Flux accent color set to brand-teal-600 (light) / brand-teal-500 (dark) with accent-content at brand-teal-700/300

open questions

  • Accent-600-vs-700 contrast deferred until seen in application

Audit /admin views and write ADMIN_RESTYLE_PLAN.md

Done

Read the Phase 2 spec from scratchpad 784, then read all admin route views (layout.app, admin-page-nav, storage-sub-nav, admin/index, lab-dashboard, reports, settings, storage views, and all Livewire blades). Assessed FluxUI adoption, brand alignment vs DESIGN.md, cross-view consistency, and effort. Found that most views are 70-90% FluxUI but have broken props (invalid badge variant, invalid callout variant), dead DaisyUI classes in Employee Report, missing doctype, stale JS targeting nonexistent classes, and three different status-color schemes. Wrote ADMIN_RESTYLE_PLAN.md with hybrid recommendation: apply theme globally then targeted fixes in 6 batches. Posted READY FOR REVIEW on todo 418.

outcome

ADMIN_RESTYLE_PLAN.md created and approved by operator.

key decisions

  • Hybrid approach: global theme application + targeted per-view updates, not full re-style
  • Employee Report warrants rebuild due to broken DaisyUI controls and missing Tailwind classes
  • Proposed canonical status-to-color map for operator sign-off
  • Batch 0 (theme) and Batch 1 (correctness fixes) to be executed first

open questions

  • Operator sign-off needed on canonical status-color map

Execute Batch 0 (theme) and Batch 1 (correctness fixes)

Done

Applied Batch 0: added brand-teal color scale, remapped teal-* to brand-teal, updated accent variables, added Montserrat font link, added @source inline for rank heat-shading classes. Applied Batch 1: added DOCTYPE to layout, fixed invalid flux:badge variant props (success/danger/primary -> color emerald/red/teal) in q-c-storage-manager, fixed invalid flux:callout variant='info' to color='sky' in order-storage-index and storage-status-card. Fixed remaining Flux prop issues in order-storage-view, admin-employee-report, and deleted dead storage partials. Rebuilt assets, verified brand colors in built CSS, ran tests (9 passed), and cached Blade templates. Posted READY FOR REVIEW comment on todo 419.

outcome

All batch 0+1 changes implemented, built, tested, and documented on todo 419.

next steps

—

key decisions

  • Used color='sky' for info callouts as closest to info semantic
  • Used color='emerald' for complete status, 'red' for incomplete in qc-manager
  • Added @source inline for bg-emerald-700/{10..90..10} and bg-cyan-700/{10..90..10} to fix missing rank heat-shading
  • Kept QC yellow-link chrome and data-theme='winter' for batch 2 as instructed.
  • Used @source inline() for rank-shading classes instead of modifying PHP logic.

Refactor admin settings, dashboard headers, and replace /admin with lab dashboard

Done

Redesigned /admin/settings with Flux cards and Flux::toast, minimized lab dashboard header (compact date, Live indicator, moved Data status into modal), simplified system-status header. Then renamed LabDashboard to Dashboard, removed old AdminDashboard, updated controller, routes, nav partial, seeder, and began updating test file. Stripped the dashboard header to just a health badge, moved the 'How these are calculated' trigger below the pipeline cards, rebranded non-semantic blues to teal, fixed breadcrumb spacing, and committed all changes as f8cd2b4.

outcome

Committed 21 files as f8cd2b4 on feature/auto-upload-rework-expansion, with dashboard header simplified, colors rebranded, breadcrumb spacing fixed, and all 19 tests passing.

next steps

—

key decisions

  • Renamed LabDashboard to Dashboard for consistency with /admin route.
  • Kept a redirect from /admin/lab-dashboard to /admin for backward compatibility.
  • Moved Data status callout into the 'How these are calculated' modal instead of removing it entirely.
  • Kept the pipeline stage colors (slate, amber, violet, blue, emerald) as they are semantic from the mockup.
  • Rebranded non-semantic blues (order links, sparkline bars, trend chart) to teal to match brand.
  • Moved the 'How these are calculated' trigger below the pipeline cards instead of in the header.
  • Used `my-4` on breadcrumbs to add bottom margin for spacing against sub-nav.
