# Session Handoff — SVS MSP CALC

**Last updated:** 2026-03-18
**Session:** Sidebar UX Polish + Readability Pass
**Status:** Sidebar dividers unified, letter-spacing improved, contrast & font floor applied. Committed.
**Tests:** 254/254 passing

## Current State

### What's Committed
- **Sidebar divider unification** — one `--sidebar-rule` token + `dashed` style everywhere. Old tokens removed: `--sidebar-line-rule`, `--sidebar-line-rule-style`, `--sidebar-total-rule`, `--sidebar-total-rule-style`
- **Total line scoped** — border-top only on `.sidebar-group--monthly .sidebar-line-total`, removed from invoice/value/summary
- **Letter-spacing token** — `--text-spacing-money: 0.05em` (was hardcoded 0.02em), applied to `.val`, `.sl-sub`, `.suffix-mo`
- **Font size floor** — 6 locations bumped from 8px/10px/0.625rem → 0.6875rem (11px min)
- **Muted contrast improved** — Dark `#9e9588`→`#b0a99f` (6.6:1), Light `#6a6157`→`#554e46` (6.5:1)
- **Opacity cleanup** — removed opacity from 9 text elements that were double-muting with `--muted`
- **Sidebar fine-print line-height** — `.vs-footnote` 1.75, `.sidebar-note-mono` 1.65, responsive 1.7

### What's NOT Committed (still modified)
- `CLAUDE.md` — updated from beta
- `CLAUDE-nextsteps.md` — resume guide
- `docs/SESSION-HANDOFF.md` — this file
- `.claude/` config files, `.mcp.json`
- Various screenshot PNGs (can be cleaned up)
- Deleted docs: `CHECKPOINT.md`, `MASTER-SESSION-PROMPT.md`, `regression-checklist.md`

### Accesslint Contrast Audit Results
All sidebar text passes WCAG AA across all 3 themes:
| Theme | Weakest Pair | Ratio |
|-------|-------------|-------|
| Dark | muted on card | 6.64:1 |
| Light | muted on sidebar-body | 6.54:1 |
| Glass | muted on card | 8.73:1 |

## What's Next

### Priority 1: Google Fonts (approved, max 3)
- Google Fonts are on the table — user approved up to 3 (prefer), 4 hard cap
- Currently using: Poppins (hero numbers), DM Mono (values/mono), system sans-serif (body)
- Explore: clean sans-serif for body/labels to improve readability at small sizes
- Consider: Inter, IBM Plex Sans, Source Sans 3, or similar

### Priority 2: GUI Polish List A
- Contract Term pills — more vertical padding on unselected
- Section card collapsed headers — slightly tight vertically
- "MANAGED IT SERVICES (SECTIONS I, II, III)" label — low contrast
- Insight carousel text — more line-height
- "QUOTE NOTES" label spacing — inconsistent with other section labels

### Priority 3: Typography Token Pass
- Tokenize remaining hardcoded letter-spacing values (~20 locations)
- Tokenize hardcoded font-sizes not yet on tokens
- Move sidebar typography tokens from components.css to tokens.css
- Phase 4: icon/button sizing (~12 hardcoded values)
- Phase 6: responsive breakpoint font-sizes (optional)

### Priority 4: Sections IV-VI Activation
### Priority 5: Mobile Panel UX Enhancements
