Restyle JobDetailsDialog.tsx (04-job-workspace.png mockup) within its
existing dialog/tab structure -- the real app splits Correspondence,
Attachments, and Candidate Fit into separate tabs rather than the
mockup's single-screen 2x2 card grid, so this is a visual-language
pass over the existing IA, not a restructure:
- Header: bolder title (h5/800), heavier status chip, cleaner
no-underline tab styling.
- Every flat bordered "fake card" Box (11 instances across all tabs,
plus the 2 in the Overview strategy-snapshot panel) becomes a
floating shadow card with no border, matching every other screen
redesigned this session.
- The two genuinely AI-generation actions (Generate Strategy Snapshot,
and by extension the shared GradientButton component) get the
mockup's signature gradient CTA treatment; the confirm-gated
"Refresh AI summary" action stays a plain outlined button so the
gradient doesn't get diluted by a second use on the same tab.
Also fixes a real bug surfaced by actually using GradientButton for
the first time: its sx callback read theme.vars.customShadows, which
throws when a component renders without this app's ThemeProvider --
true in production always, but true in every test in this repo (none
of them wrap with a ThemeProvider), so every test touching a
GradientButton or one of these restyled boxes crashed. Fixed by using
a static shadow value instead of a theme.vars lookup in both the
component and this file, matching the fact that inline sx callbacks
execute against whatever theme is in context (unlike theme.components
styleOverrides, which only run when this app's real theme is actually
provided).
Verified: tsc clean, full suite green (65/65, including 4 test files
that render this exact dialog). Live check: booted the backend and
loaded the dashboard through a fresh Next.js dev server + cache
(cleared .next after chasing what turned out to be a stale console-log
history in the Browser pane tooling, not a real compile error) --
confirmed real data renders with no actual runtime errors.
Extract design tokens from the mockup set (F:\Pictures\website\jobtracker\new
dashboard, pipeline, job-workspace, features, workflow screens) into the
central theme so every screen picks the change up automatically:
- Heading weight: h1-h4 go bold/black (800/700) to match the mockups' heavy
display type; h5/h6 stay a lighter semibold so dense screens don't turn
into a wall of black text.
- Card shadow: replace the flat 1px "section" shadow + visible border with a
soft floating shadow and no border, matching how mockup cards sit on the
grey page background.
- Border radius: 10/12/8px -> 14/16/10px across shape/card/button defaults,
matching the mockups' rounder corners.
- New GradientButton component wrapping the mockup's signature indigo->cyan
CTA gradient ("Tailor my CV for this role", "See the interface tour"),
reserved for the single most important AI-assist/hero action per screen.
The dark navy sidebar (#0f172a) already matched the mockups from an earlier
pass -- untouched here.
Verified: tsc clean, full frontend suite green (65/65). Live visual
screenshot verification wasn't possible -- the Browser pane's screenshot
tool times out in this environment; verified structurally via read_page
and the app rendering without console errors instead.
