Quickstart: Frontend Style Unification

Purpose

Validate that frontend style unification is implemented consistently across targeted routes without functional regressions.

Preconditions

• Feature branch: 001-unify-frontend-style
• Frontend dependencies installed
• Application starts successfully in local environment
• Target routes available: dashboards, tasks, reports, settings

Validation Flow

1) User Story 1 — Consistent Visual Foundation (P1)

1. Open each target route: dashboards, tasks, reports, settings.
2. Compare visual primitives:
   • typography hierarchy
   • spacing rhythm
   • card/container style
   • button variant consistency
3. Confirm no route has conflicting visual language for shared primitives.

Expected Result: Shared visual baseline appears coherent across all targeted routes.

2) User Story 2 — Unified Navigation and Page Shells (P2)

1. Navigate through at least three top-level routes.
2. Verify shell consistency:
   • page title placement
   • context/breadcrumb area behavior
   • primary/secondary action region location
   • content container alignment
3. Confirm transitions do not break orientation cues.

Expected Result: Page shell pattern is consistent and predictable across routes.

---

3) User Story 3 — Predictable Feedback and States (P3)

1. Trigger loading state on at least two routes.
2. Trigger empty state and error state where possible.
3. Trigger one success feedback event (save/update/apply action).
4. Compare message tone, placement, and recovery actions.

Expected Result: Loading/empty/error/success feedback follows one canonical pattern.

---

Regression Safety Checks

1. Execute core functional flows on dashboards/tasks/reports/settings.
2. Confirm style unification did not remove or alter business-critical actions.
3. Confirm focus visibility and readability remain acceptable on updated UI areas.

Expected Result: No critical user flow regression and no accessibility degradation.
