Ship the light palette behind a :root[data-theme="light"] switch; dark
stays the default and brand identity. A pre-paint boot script applies
localStorage.venture_crm_theme (no flash, no prefers-color-scheme), and an
app-wide toggle lives in the desktop sidebar footer + the mobile top bar,
both driven by one theme state in App.
Method keeps dark mode byte-identical: :root grew to 44 themed color slots
whose dark values equal the original literals, then 319 hex literals were
migrated to var() across the JSX inline region and the <style> block. The
StageChip is now className-based (.stage-chip--{stage}); PIPELINE_STAGE_CHIP
is removed. Every light tint (stage/recency/note/priority/reminder/money)
uses the designer's exact values from the full Claude Design export
(store.js + the four *App.dc.html DCLogic palettes), now committed as
provenance under design/_imports/2026-06-19_zip-file/ (zip + screenshots
gitignored).
Mobile surfaces + chrome are fully var-based, so mobile light is complete.
Desktop light has known rough edges (bespoke <style> shades, the legacy
off-palette .badge-* family, dark-tuned shadows) folded into a new Phase 7
design-conformance pass.
Verified: render-smoke green; a jsdom interaction harness on the authed
shell exercised the toggle (boot-dark -> light+persist+relabel -> dark);
dark-identity, theme-parity, and no-undefined-var checks all green. Not yet
checked on a real phone/browser.
Cross-repo git-hygiene audit remediation: surface ~/Projects/standards/INBOX.md items at session start, and switch .gitignore to the deny-by-default .claude/* block (shared wiring allow-listed) plus the canonical secrets/env lines — per standards/portability.md.
These fundraising-state backup JSONs contain real investor data and were tracked
from the initial commit. Untracked (local files preserved) and gitignored, same
as data/crm.db. Keeps real data out of future commits and the package gitHash.
