# Spacing Token Consolidation — Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Replace ~183 hardcoded px values across 6 CSS files with design tokens, improving maintainability and theme consistency.
**Architecture:** Three sequential phases — border widths, spacing token adoption, border-radius scale. Each phase touches all affected files, gets verified via Playwright + tests, and is committed independently.
**Tech Stack:** Vanilla CSS custom properties (no build tools). Playwright MCP for visual verification.
**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-16-spacing-token-consolidation-design.md`

## Pre-flight
- [ ] **Step 0a: Run baseline tests**
Run: `node tests/test-quote-engine.js`
Expected: `254/254 tests passing`
- [ ] **Step 0b: Capture baseline Playwright screenshots**
Use Playwright MCP to capture screenshots for pixel-diff comparison after each phase:
1. Navigate to `SVS-MSP-Calculator.html` at 1920x1080
2. Screenshot Dark theme (default) → save reference
3. Toggle to Light theme → screenshot → save reference
4. Toggle to Glass theme → screenshot → save reference
5. Resize to 375px width → screenshot mobile (Dark) → save reference
These are your "before" images. After each phase, re-capture and visually compare.

## Chunk 1: Phase 1 — Border Width Tokens
### Task 1: Add border width tokens to tokens.css
**Files:**
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-tokens.css:66-68` (insert before `--radius-control`)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add new tokens**
Insert these 3 lines immediately before `--radius-control: 6px;` (line 67):
```css
--border-thin: 1px;
--border-medium: 2px;
--border-thick: 3px;
```
The `:root` block at this point should read:
```css
--space-4xl: 32px;
--border-thin: 1px;
--border-medium: 2px;
--border-thick: 3px;
--radius-control: 6px;
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify no syntax errors**
Run: `node tests/test-quote-engine.js`
Expected: `254/254 tests passing` (CSS-only change, tests should still pass)
---
### Task 2: Tokenize border widths in components.css
**Files:**
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-components.css`
- [ ] **Step 1: Replace all `1px` border values**
Search for these patterns and replace. Apply ONLY to border properties (`border`, `border-top`, `border-bottom`, `border-left`, `border-right`, `border-width`, `border-*-width`). Include `solid`, `dashed`, and `dotted` styles.
**DO NOT replace** `1px` in:
- `calc()` expressions
- `box-shadow` values
- `outline` properties
- `pre-alpha/` directory
Replace pattern: `1px solid``var(--border-thin) solid`, `1px dashed``var(--border-thin) dashed`, `border-width: 1px``border-width: var(--border-thin)`, etc.
- [ ] **Step 2: Replace all `2px` border values**
Same pattern as Step 1 but for `2px``var(--border-medium)`. Only border properties — skip `padding: 2px` or `margin: 2px` (those are spacing).
- [ ] **Step 3: Replace all `3px` border values**
Same pattern for `3px``var(--border-thick)`. Only border properties.
- [ ] **Step 4: Verify — run tests**
Run: `node tests/test-quote-engine.js`
Expected: `254/254 tests passing`
---
### Task 3: Tokenize border widths in remaining files
**Files:**
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-responsive.css`
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-layout.css`
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-print.css`
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-base.css`
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-glass.css`
- [ ] **Step 1: Replace border widths in responsive.css**
Same rules as Task 2. Replace `1px`/`2px`/`3px` in border properties only. Respect all exclusions (calc, box-shadow, outline).
- [ ] **Step 2: Replace border widths in layout.css**
Same rules.
- [ ] **Step 3: Replace border widths in print.css**
Same rules.
- [ ] **Step 4: Replace border widths in base.css**
Known instances:
- `border-bottom: 2px solid var(--top-bar-border)``border-bottom: var(--border-medium) solid var(--top-bar-border)`
- `border: 1px solid var(--theme-chip-border)``border: var(--border-thin) solid var(--theme-chip-border)`
- [ ] **Step 5: Replace border widths in glass.css**
Known instance:
- `border-bottom-width: 1px !important``border-bottom-width: var(--border-thin) !important`
- [ ] **Step 6: Verify — run tests**
Run: `node tests/test-quote-engine.js`
Expected: `254/254 tests passing`
---
### Task 4: Phase 1 visual verification
- [ ] **Step 1: Playwright screenshots — all 3 themes at 1920px**
Navigate to calculator. Screenshot Dark, Light, Glass at 1920x1080. Compare against baseline from Step 0b. Changes should be zero — this is a pure refactor.
- [ ] **Step 2: Playwright screenshots — mobile at 375px**
Resize to 375px. Verify floating MRR pill visible, mobile panel opens, values sync.
- [ ] **Step 3: Playwright — print emulation**
Enable print media emulation. Verify all sections expand, interactive controls hidden, no visual regressions.
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit Phase 1**
```bash
git add SVS-MSP-Calculator-tokens.css SVS-MSP-Calculator-components.css SVS-MSP-Calculator-responsive.css SVS-MSP-Calculator-layout.css SVS-MSP-Calculator-print.css SVS-MSP-Calculator-base.css SVS-MSP-Calculator-glass.css
git commit -m "css: tokenize border widths — consolidate 1px/2px/3px to --border-thin/medium/thick"
```

## Chunk 2: Phase 2 — Adopt Existing Spacing Tokens
### Task 5: Replace hardcoded spacing values in components.css
**Files:**
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-components.css`
- [ ] **Step 1: Replace `4px` spacing → `var(--space-xs)`**
Search for `margin`, `padding`, and `gap` properties using hardcoded `4px`. Replace with `var(--space-xs)`.
**DO NOT replace** `4px` when used as:
- `border-radius` (Phase 3)
- `font-size`, `width`, `height`
- Inside `clamp()` or `calc()`
- Values that are already `var(--space-xs)`
- [ ] **Step 2: Replace `8px` spacing → `var(--space-sm)`**
Same rules — only `margin`, `padding`, `gap`. Skip `border-radius: 8px` (Phase 3).
- [ ] **Step 3: Replace `10px` spacing → `var(--space-stack-tight)`**
Same rules. Only spacing properties.
- [ ] **Step 4: Replace `12px` spacing → `var(--space-md)`**
Only spacing properties. Skip `border-radius: 12px` (already uses `--radius-card`).
- [ ] **Step 5: Replace `16px` spacing → `var(--space-stack-roomy)`**
Only spacing properties. Skip font-size and width/height uses.
- [ ] **Step 6: Replace `18px` spacing → `var(--space-lg)`**
Only spacing properties. Skip icon sizing.
- [ ] **Step 7: Replace `20px` spacing → `var(--space-xl)`**
Only spacing properties.
- [ ] **Step 8: Verify — run tests**
Run: `node tests/test-quote-engine.js`
Expected: `254/254 tests passing`

**Files:**
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-layout.css`
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-responsive.css`
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-print.css`
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-base.css`
- [ ] **Step 1: Replace spacing values in layout.css**
Same rules as Task 5. Only `margin`, `padding`, `gap` properties. Skip values in `clamp()`.
- [ ] **Step 2: Replace spacing values in responsive.css**
Same rules.
- [ ] **Step 3: Replace spacing values in print.css**
Same rules.
- [ ] **Step 4: Replace spacing values in base.css**
Known instance: `gap: 16px``gap: var(--space-stack-roomy)`. Same exclusion rules apply.
- [ ] **Step 5: Verify — run tests**
Run: `node tests/test-quote-engine.js`
Expected: `254/254 tests passing`
---
### Task 7: Phase 2 visual verification
- [ ] **Step 1: Playwright screenshots — all 3 themes at 1920px**
Compare against Phase 1 screenshots. Changes should be zero.
- [ ] **Step 2: Playwright screenshots — mobile at 375px**
Verify pill, panel, sync all working.
- [ ] **Step 3: Playwright — print emulation**
Enable print media emulation. Verify no regressions from print.css spacing changes.
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit Phase 2**
```bash
git add SVS-MSP-Calculator-components.css SVS-MSP-Calculator-layout.css SVS-MSP-Calculator-responsive.css SVS-MSP-Calculator-print.css SVS-MSP-Calculator-base.css
git commit -m "css: adopt existing spacing tokens — replace hardcoded 4-20px with var(--space-*)"
```

## Chunk 3: Phase 3 — Border-Radius Scale
### Task 8: Add border-radius tokens to tokens.css
**Files:**
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-tokens.css` (insert after `--border-thick`, before `--radius-control`)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add new radius tokens**
Insert into the radius section in **ascending px order**, interleaving with existing `--radius-control` (6px) and `--radius-card` (12px):
```css
--border-thick: 3px;
--radius-sm: 4px; /* NEW */
--radius-control: 6px; /* existing */
--radius-md: 8px; /* NEW */
--radius-lg: 10px; /* NEW */
--radius-card: 12px; /* existing */
--radius-pill: 999px; /* NEW */
```
This requires inserting at 3 positions:
1. `--radius-sm: 4px;` before `--radius-control`
2. `--radius-md: 8px;` and `--radius-lg: 10px;` between `--radius-control` and `--radius-card`
3. `--radius-pill: 999px;` after `--radius-card`
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify — run tests**
Run: `node tests/test-quote-engine.js`
Expected: `254/254 tests passing`

### Task 9: Tokenize border-radius in components.css
**Files:**
- Modify: `SVS-MSP-Calculator-components.css`
- [ ] **Step 1: Replace `border-radius: 4px` → `var(--radius-sm)`**
Search for all `border-radius` properties using `4px`. Replace with `var(--radius-sm)`. Skip values inside `calc()`.
- [ ] **Step 2: Replace `border-radius: 8px` → `var(--radius-md)`**
Same pattern.
- [ ] **Step 3: Replace `border-radius: 10px` → `var(--radius-lg)`**
Same pattern.
- [ ] **Step 4: Replace `border-radius: 999px` → `var(--radius-pill)`**
Same pattern.
- [ ] **Step 5: Verify — run tests**
Run: `node tests/test-quote-engine.js`
Expected: `254/254 tests passing`
