+# Design System Compliance Fix — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Fix all 368 design system violations found by the comprehensive audit across ~80 Nunjucks template files and CSS.
+
+**Architecture:** Fix CSS-level component classes first (highest leverage — one fix eliminates violations across many templates), then fix templates by violation category, grouped by file similarity. Each task handles one violation category across a batch of related files.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Nunjucks templates, Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js
+
+**Important context:**
+- Source of truth: `/home/rick/code/indiekit-dev/indiekit-eleventy-theme/` (this repo is a Git submodule)
+- Design system: `.interface-design/system.md`
+- No test suite — verification is visual via `cloudron restart` after deployment
+- CSS focus-visible base layer already exists in `css/tailwind.css:117-142,498-506` — most "missing focus:ring-2" violations are false positives since the CSS handles focus-visible globally on `button`, `a`, `input`, `textarea`, `select`. Only elements using `focus:outline-none` (which suppresses the global style) actually need inline `focus:ring-2`.
+- CSS `time` base rule already sets monospace font-family on all `<time>` elements (`css/tailwind.css:112-115,571-576`). Only `<span>` elements rendering dates via Alpine.js `x-text="formatDate()"` need explicit `font-mono` class.
+
+---
+
+## Task Overview
+
+| Task | Category | Files | Violations Fixed |
+|------|----------|-------|-----------------|
+| 1 | CSS component class fixes | `css/tailwind.css` | ~30 (cascading to many templates) |
+| 2 | Cards missing `shadow-sm` | 25 files | ~69 |
+| 3 | Wrong domain colors | 8 files | ~33 |
+| 4 | Date `font-mono` on `<span>` elements | 10 files | ~20 |
+| 5 | Date `font-mono` on `<time>` elements (class consistency) | 20 files | ~55 |
+| 6 | Hover violations | 8 files | ~14 |
+| 7 | Border radius violations | 10 files | ~12 |
+| 8 | Dark mode violations | 8 files | ~10 |
+| 9 | Depth violations (shadow levels) | 6 files | ~14 |
+| 10 | Transition violations | 6 files | ~11 |
+| 11 | Inline `focus:ring-2` cleanup | 7 files | ~20 |
+| 12 | Remaining button/focus violations | 15 files | ~80 |

+
+### Task 1: CSS Component Class Fixes (tailwind.css)
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `css/tailwind.css`
+
+These CSS-level fixes cascade to many templates automatically.
+
+**Step 1: Fix `.widget-title` weight**
+
+Line 398: Change `font-bold` to `font-semibold` per system.md.
+
+```css
+/* Before */
+.widget-title {
+  @apply font-bold text-lg mb-4;
+}
+
+/* After */
+.widget-title {
+  @apply font-semibold text-lg mb-4;
+}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Fix `.repo-card` missing `shadow-sm`**
+
+Line 361: Add `shadow-sm`.
+
+```css
+/* Before */
+.repo-card {
+  @apply p-4 border border-surface-200 dark:border-surface-700 rounded-lg;
+}
+
+/* After */
+.repo-card {
+  @apply p-4 border border-surface-200 dark:border-surface-700 rounded-lg shadow-sm;
+}
+```
+
+**Step 3: Fix `.fab-menu-item` border radius**
+
+Line 551: Change `rounded-xl` to `rounded-lg`.
+
+```css
+/* Before */
+.fab-menu-item {
+  @apply ... rounded-xl bg-surface-50 ... shadow-md ...;
+}
+
+/* After */
+.fab-menu-item {
+  @apply ... rounded-lg bg-surface-50 ... shadow-sm ...;
+}
+```
+
+Also change `shadow-md hover:shadow-lg` to `shadow-sm` (system says cards/menu items = `shadow-sm`).
+
+**Step 4: Fix `.p-category` hover border**
+
+Line 335: Change `hover:border-surface-400 dark:hover:border-surface-500` to `hover:border-accent-400 dark:hover:border-accent-600`.
+
+```css
+/* Before */
+.p-category {
+  @apply ... hover:border-surface-400 dark:hover:border-surface-500 transition-colors;
+}
+
+/* After */
+.p-category {
+  @apply ... hover:border-accent-400 dark:hover:border-accent-600 transition-colors;
+}
+```
+
+**Step 5: Fix `.pagination-link` — add `transition-colors` explicitly**
+
+Line 490: The class already has `transition-colors`. Verify it also covers focus states adequately via the base CSS layer. No change needed if base layer covers it.
+
+**Step 6: Remove `.widget` `mb-4`**
+
+Line 394: Remove `mb-4` since widgets are inside `space-y-*` containers which handle spacing. The `mb-4` conflicts with container spacing.
+
+```css
+/* Before */
+.widget {
+  @apply p-4 mb-4 bg-surface-50 dark:bg-surface-800 rounded-lg border border-surface-200 dark:border-surface-700 shadow-sm overflow-hidden;
+}
+
+/* After */
+.widget {
+  @apply p-4 bg-surface-50 dark:bg-surface-800 rounded-lg border border-surface-200 dark:border-surface-700 shadow-sm overflow-hidden;
+}
+```
+
+**Step 7: Consolidate duplicate focus-visible systems**
+
+Lines 117-142 and 498-506 define TWO competing focus-visible systems. Remove the duplicate at 498-506 (the outline-based one) and keep the ring-based one at 117-142 which is more specific and matches the system.md pattern.
+
+```css
+/* DELETE lines 498-506 */
+/* Focus states */
+@layer base {
+  a:focus-visible,
+  button:focus-visible,
+  input:focus-visible,
+  textarea:focus-visible,
+  select:focus-visible {
+    @apply outline-2 outline-offset-2 outline-accent-500;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Step 8: Fix `.post-type-dropdown` dark mode**
+
+Lines 974-986: Change `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)` to `.dark` class selector (the site uses class-based dark mode).
+
+```css
+/* Before */
+@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
+  .post-type-dropdown { ... }
+  .post-type-dropdown-item { ... }
+  .post-type-dropdown-item:hover { ... }
+}
+
+/* After */
+.dark .post-type-dropdown {
+  background: #1f2937;
+  border-color: #374151;
+}
+.dark .post-type-dropdown-item {
+  color: #d1d5db;
+}
+.dark .post-type-dropdown-item:hover {
+  background: #374151;
+  color: #34d399;
+}
+```
+
+**Step 9: Fix `.save-later-btn` and `.share-post-btn` dark mode**
+
+Lines 881-932: Add `.dark` variants for these buttons (currently no dark mode support).
+
+```css
+/* Add after line 907 */
+.dark body[data-indiekit-auth="true"] .save-later-btn {
+  color: #9ca3af;
+}
+.dark body[data-indiekit-auth="true"] .save-later-btn:hover {
+  border-color: #4b5563;
+  color: #60a5fa;
+}
+
+/* Add after line 932 */
+.dark body[data-indiekit-auth="true"] .share-post-btn {
+  color: #9ca3af;
+}
+.dark body[data-indiekit-auth="true"] .share-post-btn:hover {
+  border-color: #4b5563;
+  color: #34d399;
+}
+```
+
+**Step 10: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add css/tailwind.css
+git commit -m "fix(css): fix 10 design system violations in component classes
+
+- .widget-title: font-bold -> font-semibold
+- .repo-card: add shadow-sm
+- .fab-menu-item: rounded-xl -> rounded-lg, shadow-md -> shadow-sm
+- .p-category: hover border surface -> accent
+- .widget: remove mb-4 (conflicts with space-y containers)
+- Remove duplicate focus-visible system (outline vs ring)
+- .post-type-dropdown: prefers-color-scheme -> .dark class
+- .save-later-btn/.share-post-btn: add dark mode variants

+### Task 2: Cards Missing `shadow-sm` (25 files)
+
+**Files to modify:**
+
+Group A — Page templates:
+- `github.njk` — lines 30, 104, 137, 171, 226 (5 cards)
+- `funkwhale.njk` — lines 188, 238 (2 cards)
+- `youtube.njk` — lines 37, 176 (2 cards)
+- `listening.njk` — lines 273, 327, 399, 460 (4 cards)
+- `blogroll.njk` — lines 68, 112 (2 cards)
+- `readlater.njk` — lines 83 (1 card)
+- `starred.njk` — line 187 (1 card)
+- `interactions.njk` — lines 44, 60, 76, 92, 108, 217 (6 cards)
+- `changelog.njk` — line 51 (1 card)
+- `digest-index.njk` — line 25 (1 card)
+
+Group B — Components/sections:
+- `_includes/components/webmentions.njk` — lines 116, 186 (2 cards)
+- `_includes/components/comments.njk` — line 78 (1 card)
+- `_includes/components/funkwhale-stats-content.njk` — lines 4, 29 (2 cards)
+- `_includes/components/fediverse-modal.njk` — line 32 (1 card)
+- `_includes/components/post-navigation.njk` — lines 34, 80 (2 cards)
+- `_includes/components/sections/cv-education.njk` — line 19 (1 card)
+- `_includes/components/sections/cv-skills.njk` — line 18 (1 card)
+- `_includes/components/sections/cv-interests.njk` — line 18 (1 card)
+- `_includes/components/sections/cv-projects.njk` — line 19 (1 card)
+- `_includes/components/sections/cv-projects-work.njk` — line 29 (1 card)
+- `_includes/components/sections/cv-projects-personal.njk` — line 29 (1 card)
+- `_includes/components/sections/ai-usage.njk` — lines 13, 16 (2 cards)
+
+Group C — Layout templates:
+- `_includes/layouts/page.njk` — lines 36, 40, 44, 48, 83 (5 cards)
+- `_includes/layouts/home.njk` — lines 82, 113, 122, 131 (4 cards)
+
+**Pattern:** For each card element, find the `border border-surface-200 dark:border-surface-700` class string and add `shadow-sm` after it. If the element has `border` but no surface tokens, add the full pattern: `border border-surface-200 dark:border-surface-700 shadow-sm`.
+
+**Special cases:**
+- `interactions.njk` cards (lines 44-108): These cards have NO border at all — add `border border-surface-200 dark:border-surface-700 shadow-sm`
+- `changelog.njk:51`: Also add `bg-surface-50 dark:bg-surface-800` (missing background)
+- `page.njk:36,40,44,48`: Change `bg-white` to `bg-surface-50` (token compliance)
+- `webmentions.njk:116,186` and `comments.njk:78`: Change `bg-surface-100` to `bg-surface-50` (system says card bg = surface-50)
+- `post-navigation.njk:34,80`: Change `bg-surface-100` to `bg-surface-50`
+
+**Step 1: Fix Group A files** (page templates — add `shadow-sm` to each card)
+
+**Step 2: Fix Group B files** (components/sections)
+
+**Step 3: Fix Group C files** (layouts)
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add *.njk _includes/
+git commit -m "fix(cards): add shadow-sm to all card elements across 25 files
+
+Design system requires shadow-sm + border on all cards.
+Also fixes bg-white -> bg-surface-50 and bg-surface-100 -> bg-surface-50
+where card backgrounds used wrong tokens.

+### Task 4: Date `font-mono` on `<span>` Elements (Alpine.js renders)
+
+These are dates rendered by Alpine.js `x-text="formatDate()"` into `<span>` elements (not `<time>`). The CSS base layer only covers `<time>` elements, so these `<span>` elements need explicit `font-mono`.
+
+**Files to modify:**
+
+- `starred.njk:27` — `<span x-text="formatDate(lastSync)">` — add `font-mono`
+- `starred.njk:236` — `<span x-text="'Starred ' + formatDate(...)">` — add `font-mono`
+- `changelog.njk:67` — `<span class="text-xs text-surface-500" x-text="formatDate(commit.date)">` — add `font-mono`
+- `blogroll.njk:18` — `<span x-text="formatDate(status?.lastSync, 'full')">` — add `font-mono`
+- `_includes/components/widgets/github-repos.njk:61` — `<span x-text="formatDate(commit.date)">` — add `font-mono`
+- `_includes/components/widgets/github-repos.njk:86` — `<span x-text="formatDate(repo.updated_at)">` — add `font-mono`
+- `_includes/components/widgets/github-repos.njk:142` — `<span x-text="formatDate(item.date)">` — add `font-mono`

+### Task 5: Date `font-mono` on `<time>` Elements (class consistency)
+
+The CSS base layer sets `font-family: monospace` on all `<time>` elements globally, so these render correctly already. However, the design system convention is to also add `font-mono text-sm` as Tailwind classes for consistency and to ensure `text-sm` sizing. This task adds the classes to all `<time>` elements that are missing them.
+
+**Files to modify:**
+
+Group A — Post collection pages:
+- `articles.njk:37-39` — `<time class="dt-published">` add `font-mono text-sm`

+- `likes.njk:37-39` — same
+- `replies.njk:42-44` — same
+- `reposts.njk:42-44` — same
+- `blog.njk:67,106,150,189,227,271,298` — 7 `<time>` elements, add `font-mono`
+- `digest.njk:22,54,71,84,107,121,130` — 7 `<time>` elements
+- `digest-index.njk:31` — 2 `<time>` elements

+- `_includes/components/webmentions.njk:138,168` — 2 `<time>` elements
+- `_includes/components/post-navigation.njk:46,92` — 2 `<time>` elements (also change `text-xs` to `text-sm`)
+- `_includes/components/sections/cv-experience.njk:27` — date text, add `font-mono`

+### Task 11: Inline `focus:ring-2` Cleanup (7 files)
+
+Some templates use `focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-accent-500` which **suppresses** the CSS base layer focus-visible styles and replaces them with a focus (not focus-visible) ring. This means mouse clicks also trigger the ring. The system uses `focus-visible` in CSS. These inline `focus:outline-none` should be removed so the base CSS handles focus consistently.
+
+**Files to modify:**
+
+- `news.njk:15,48,59,70,332,342` — remove `focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-accent-500` (CSS base layer handles it)
+- `podroll.njk:19,50,175` — remove inline focus classes
+- `starred.njk:111,126,141,165` — remove inline focus classes (but domain color is handled in Task 3)
+- `readlater.njk:44,61` — remove inline focus classes
+- `_includes/components/webmentions.njk` line with `focus:ring-2` — remove
+- `_includes/components/fediverse-modal.njk:63` — remove `focus:ring-2 focus:ring-[#a730b8]`
+- `_includes/components/widgets/search.njk:4` — remove inline focus (after Task 3 fixes primary -> accent)
+
+**Step 1: In each file, remove `focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-*-500` class groups**
+
+The CSS base layer at `tailwind.css:117-142` provides `ring-2 ring-amber-500/70` on `:focus-visible` for all buttons, links, and inputs. This is the correct, centralized approach.
+
+**Step 2: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add *.njk _includes/
+git commit -m "fix(focus): remove inline focus:ring-2 classes, rely on CSS base layer
+
+The CSS base layer provides focus-visible rings on all interactive
+elements. Inline focus:outline-none suppresses this and replaces
+it with focus (not focus-visible) behavior. Removing these lets
+the centralized system handle focus states consistently.

+
+### Task 12: Remaining Button/Focus Violations
+
+After Task 11 removes conflicting inline focus classes, the CSS base layer handles focus-visible for all `button`, `a`, `input`, `textarea`, `select` elements. The remaining "missing focus:ring-2" violations from the audit are now **resolved by the CSS base layer** — no further template changes needed.
+
+**Verification step:** After all previous tasks are committed, do a grep to confirm no `focus:outline-none` remains that would suppress the base styles:
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "focus:outline-none" --include="*.njk" /home/rick/code/indiekit-dev/indiekit-eleventy-theme/ | grep -v node_modules
+```
+
+If any remain, remove them.
+
+**Commit:** No commit needed if grep finds nothing.
+
+---
+
+## Deployment
+
+After all tasks are complete:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/rick/code/indiekit-dev/indiekit-eleventy-theme
+git push origin main
+
+cd /home/rick/code/indiekit-dev/indiekit-cloudron
+git submodule update --remote eleventy-site
+git add eleventy-site
+git commit -m "chore: update eleventy-site submodule (design system compliance)"
+git push origin main
+make prepare
+cloudron build --no-cache && cloudron update --app rmendes.net --no-backup
+```
+
+## Visual Verification
+
+After deployment, verify key pages with `playwright-cli`:
+- `/` (home) — cards have shadows, dates are mono
+- `/blog/` — social types use rose domain color
+- `/github/` — emerald domain color throughout
+- `/github/starred/` — emerald, not accent
+- `/listening/` — cards have shadows
+- `/podroll/` — rounded-lg, not rounded-xl
+- Dark mode toggle — check all pages render correctly
