First pass of the /frontend-design overhaul against the mockups at
F:\Pictures\website\jobtracker\new. Two highest-leverage gaps from the
backlog note ("dark sidebar, KPI cards, exact status colours"):
- AppShell: nav rail is now a fixed dark navy (#0f172a) regardless of
the app's light/dark theme toggle, matching the mockup's signature
look -- selected item gets an indigo-tinted pill + icon accent,
muted slate text for the rest. Kept icon+label rows (mockup's sidebar
is text-only) since the existing collapsed-sidebar mode depends on
icons; that's a deliberate deviation, not an oversight.
- JobbjaktMark: replaced the briefcase glyph with the gradient
checkmark-in-square mark used throughout the mockups (hero, dashboard,
kanban) -- also fixed a latent SVG gradient id collision across
multiple rendered instances via useId().
- KanbanBoard: mockup uses color sparingly (a small dot in the column
header, a 4px accent on the card's left edge) rather than tinting the
whole column/card background as the previous version did. Reworked
to match; also swapped card title/subtitle order (job title bold,
company/location as subtitle) per the mockup.
Remaining for follow-up passes: Dashboard KPI card layout and the job
workspace (candidate-fit ring, AI summary card) -- both structurally
close already but not yet pixel-matched.
Verified: `next build` clean, all 57 frontend tests green, dark
sidebar confirmed live (computed bg #0f172a) against a running dev
server with light content mode forced.
