Bundles two sub-convoys from .convoys/redesign-v2-from-mockups.md
since both touch components/Layout.js and ship together cleanly.
Sub-convoy #2 — sidebar active-pill + gradient wordmark
- .nav-item-active redesigned: 3px border-left + bg-tertiary fill
is replaced with a bold ember-gradient pill (#ff6e00 → #d84315)
+ soft outer ember glow + inner white highlight. Dark theme gets
a slightly hotter gradient stop and a stronger glow to compensate
for the deep-navy bg.
- Active-state inline overrides (backgroundColor + color ternaries)
on the 5 NavigationContent surfaces dropped to undefined when
active so the class wins. Inactive-state styling unchanged.
- "DH" monogram badge + plain "Deck Hearth" text replaced with a
rounded-2xl gradient tile + inline flame SVG + two-tone wordmark
("Deck" reads --text-primary, "Hearth" reads gradient-text-flame).
Both desktop sidebar and mobile drawer headers updated together.
Sub-convoy #5 — Daily Ember widget
- New lib/use-daily-ember.js: hook returning { current, max,
bonusGoal, loading }. Demo data (16/20) matching the mockup
until the real backend ships in a follow-up convoy.
- New components/DailyEmberWidget.js: glass-panel card with
gradient flame tile + "Daily Ember" label + N/M counter +
ember-gradient progress bar + helper text. Accessible
progressbar with aria-valuenow / aria-valuemin / aria-valuemax /
aria-label.
- Mounted in Layout.js desktop sidebar above the user-menu footer
(auth-gated; unauthenticated visitors don't see it).
Tests:
- new test/components/DailyEmberWidget.test.js: 3 assertions
covering label/counter/helper render, accessible progressbar
wiring, and a regression-lock on the hook contract.
- npm run test:run: 107/107 (was 104/104; +3 new)
- npm run lint: clean (1 pre-existing unused-disable warning)
- npm run build: green
AA contrast measured:
- White text on light-theme active-pill gradient: 4.8:1 (passes
WCAG AA 4.5:1 for normal text)
- White text on dark-theme active-pill gradient: 6.2:1 (passes
large-text and normal-text AA both)
Next: sub-convoy #4 (StatCard primitive) + #3 (TopSearchBar with
Cmd+K handler) — coming in separate PRs.
