Current State

What's Committed

Sidebar divider unification — one --sidebar-rule token + dashed style everywhere. Old tokens removed: --sidebar-line-rule, --sidebar-line-rule-style, --sidebar-total-rule, --sidebar-total-rule-style
Total line scoped — border-top only on .sidebar-group--monthly .sidebar-line-total, removed from invoice/value/summary
Letter-spacing token — --text-spacing-money: 0.05em (was hardcoded 0.02em), applied to .val, .sl-sub, .suffix-mo
Font size floor — 6 locations bumped from 8px/10px/0.625rem → 0.6875rem (11px min)
Muted contrast improved — Dark #9e9588→#b0a99f (6.6:1), Light #6a6157→#554e46 (6.5:1)
Opacity cleanup — removed opacity from 9 text elements that were double-muting with --muted
Sidebar fine-print line-height — .vs-footnote 1.75, .sidebar-note-mono 1.65, responsive 1.7

What's Next

Priority 1: Google Fonts (approved, max 3)

Google Fonts are on the table — user approved up to 3 (prefer), 4 hard cap
Currently using: Poppins (hero numbers), DM Mono (values/mono), system sans-serif (body)
Explore: clean sans-serif for body/labels to improve readability at small sizes
Consider: Inter, IBM Plex Sans, Source Sans 3, or similar

Priority 2: GUI Polish List A

Contract Term pills — more vertical padding on unselected
Section card collapsed headers — slightly tight vertically
"MANAGED IT SERVICES (SECTIONS I, II, III)" label — low contrast
Insight carousel text — more line-height
"QUOTE NOTES" label spacing — inconsistent with other section labels

Priority 3: Typography Token Pass

Tokenize remaining hardcoded letter-spacing values (~20 locations)
Tokenize hardcoded font-sizes not yet on tokens
Move sidebar typography tokens from components.css to tokens.css
Phase 4: icon/button sizing (~12 hardcoded values)
Phase 6: responsive breakpoint font-sizes (optional)

Priority 4: Sections IV-VI Activation

Priority 5: Mobile Panel UX Enhancements
