Reorganize the project form for a lighter, more professional flow without
touching field names or the save action (all data preserved):
- LocaleInputs: drop the per-locale card wrappers for a tight 3-column
labelled grid; shorter textareas.
- Sections and Assets: collapse each item into an accordion (closed by
default) and show a proper empty state when there are none.
- Slim the header to badges + title + a compact progress indicator instead
of a stats grid; drop the assets stats sidebar.
- Tighten section paddings/spacing (lg -> md) throughout.
All 375 tests pass; tsc and eslint clean.
Replace the card grid with a compact data table (cover, project, category,
year, status, layout, actions) and a proper empty state that adapts to an
active category filter. Actions expose a public-view link plus the existing
edit/delete menu. No data-layer or save changes.
The double-layer AppCard look showcased in the UI Kit was only applied on
the public frontend; every admin surface was pinned to layer=single and
stayed flat. Convert the admin section/container cards to the default
layered look, keeping compact metric tiles, toolbars, image tiles and
nested leaf cards single.
Add AppCard contentClassName so content utilities (space-y-*, grid, flex)
keep applying to the inner shell after the switch to double layer.
- Add a Save as draft button that bypasses the completeness gate: the user
can save partial work and finish later
- projectDraftInputSchema makes the user-facing copy (title, summary, service
label, client) optional; the action auto-generates a slug from the title
(or draft-<timestamp>), defaults the year to the current year, and forces
the project unpublished
- Drafts drop not-yet-valid sections/assets instead of failing the save
- Pass intent via a hidden field set on click so the server reliably sees it
- Tests: draft schema accepts empty copy a strict save rejects, and still
requires a slug and a valid year
- Remove the tab navigation, per-step sidebar, and Previous/Next buttons;
render Basics, Localized Content, Sections and Assets stacked on a single
scrollable page
- Drop the now-unused wizard step machinery (currentStep state, wizardSteps,
StepStateBadge, step stat card) and related imports
- Keep the same fields, validation, and save gating (Basics + Localized
Content required; sections/assets optional)
- CASE_STUDY -> Web: two columns, stacked full-width screenshots with a
browser frame plus a sticky project info panel
- GRID -> Print: mixed-size gallery grid for logos/posters/etc.
- STORY -> Editorial: full-bleed hero with title overlay, then alternating
text/media sections
- Add a prominent title/summary intro (was missing from the header)
- Use PortfolioCover for all media so empty projects show the branded
placeholder instead of broken images; gallery sections render even
before an image is uploaded
- drizzle-kit does not read .env like the Next.js app, so DATABASE_URL was
undefined and fell back to the default host, causing migrate to hang and
push to fail against the wrong database
- Load .env via native process.loadEnvFile for local dev, guarded so
production (env already set, no .env file) is unaffected
- Fix critical bug: TabsContent unmounted inactive panels, so the project
form only submitted the active tab's fields and could never save; add an
opt-in forceMount that keeps panels mounted (hidden) and use it on all
four project-form tabs
- Make Sections and Assets optional: a project saves with just Basics and
Localized Content; new projects start with no sections/assets, and the
last one can now be removed
- Update wizard progress so empty sections/assets steps count as complete
- Update save hint copy and step labels to reflect the optional steps
- Correct .claude/launch.json dev port to 3014
- Update portfolio-form-progress tests for the optional-steps behaviour
- Replace stale Prisma commands/paths in CLAUDE.md with Drizzle (db:generate/migrate/push/studio, lib/db/index.ts, lib/db/schema.ts)
- Fix Docker/Makefile command block to match actual make targets
- Correct middleware.ts references to proxy.ts (Next.js 16 entry point)
- Rename ' AGENTS.md' (leading space) to AGENTS.md so agent tooling can find it
- Remove stray characters from the AGENTS.md documentation-updates list
- Drop badge, kicker, status, primaryCta, secondaryCta, countdownLabel from all locales
- These were orphaned when the coming-soon page was trimmed to title + countdown
- Remove CTA buttons (site is closed, no navigation)
- Drop the card wrapper: content sits on the page background, gradient included
- Remove the launch label; keep the countdown
- Fit the viewport (no scroll)
- postgres.js forwarded schema as a startup param; Postgres rejected the connection
- Remove ?schema=public from docker-compose, CI, and the client default
- Strip any query string in lib/db/index.ts so this cannot recur
- Join the app to the external proxy network and drop the published host port
- Add Traefik labels for mohfarawati.de, www, and root.mohfarawati.de
- Parametrize network/entrypoint/certresolver via TRAEFIK_* env with sane defaults
- Pass ADMIN_HOST to the app and document production env in .env.example
Reduce the "interchangeable cards" monotony flagged in Phase 0 and apply the
warm-premium type scale.
- SectionHeading: use the type scale (eyebrow via .eyebrow with brand tint,
text-h2 title, body-lg description). Propagates to every home section.
- CapabilitiesSection: cleaner cards with a brand-tinted icon tile, type-scale
title/body, soft elevation (drops the AppCard wrapper).
- ProcessSection: reworked into an editorial numbered timeline (large
translucent brand numerals, top rule, no boxes) so it no longer looks
identical to Capabilities.
Verified: eslint clean, no new type errors, tailwind generates the utilities.
The homepage hero had no call to action (Phase 0 finding). Add a live
availability pill and primary/secondary CTAs while keeping the signature title.
- HomeHero: optional availability status pill (pulsing dot) plus primary
(view work) and secondary (contact) CTAs, RTL-aware arrow, using the type
scale. Backward compatible (all new props optional).
- Wire copy + hrefs from the homepage; add heroVisual.primaryCta /
secondaryCta to en/de/ar.
Verified: JSON valid, eslint clean, no new type errors.
The detail page rendered an empty <PageHero /> (blank gradient band) with the
real title buried in a card lower down (Phase 0 finding).
- Populate the detail PageHero with the project category (badge), title and
summary, so the top of the page is a proper header.
- Slim the in-content ProjectHeader to back-link + meta chips + preview button,
removing the now-duplicated title and summary. Applies across all three
detail templates (grid/story/case-study).
Verified: eslint clean, no new type errors.
Bring imagery to the homepage projects block (Phase 3), matching the portfolio
gallery.
- Thread coverImagePath through ProjectCardCopy and the home mapping.
- Rewrite ProjectsSection as image-first cards (reusing PortfolioCover with the
branded placeholder fallback): whole-card link, featured project spans two
columns with a larger cover, type-scale title, meta + stack badges, hover
lift. Replaces the previous text-only cards.
Verified: eslint clean; no new type errors (pre-existing Prisma-gen anys only).
Redesign the portfolio list/category grid into a premium, image-first gallery
(Phase 3), applying the warm-premium tokens.
- Add components/site/portfolio-cover.tsx: renders the stored cover image
(next/image, object-cover, hover zoom) or a restrained branded placeholder
(monogram + category) when none is set. Placeholders are temporary — the
owner will swap in real artwork.
- Rewrite portfolio-project-grid: responsive 1/2/3-col gallery, featured
projects span two columns with a larger cover, cards use the type scale
(text-h2/h3/caption), eyebrow category labels, line-clamped summaries, soft
elevation and hover lift. Directly fixes the "portfolio shows no images"
gap on the list and category pages.
Verified: eslint clean, no new type errors, tailwind generates the utilities.
Add docs/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md capturing Phase 2 visual identity:
- Chosen direction (warm premium, work-forward) and its principles.
- Documents existing color/surface/brand/status/border/hero tokens with
light + dark values and an accent-budget usage rule.
- Fonts (Museo Latin, Dubai Arabic) and a defined type scale + Arabic overrides.
- Radius, elevation, container and spacing-rhythm guidance, motion, component
conventions, and do/don't. Colors and fonts are owner-fixed and unchanged.
Full refactor of the maintenance/coming-soon page for all locales (de/en/ar,
RTL-aware) with a refined, theme-aware (light + dark) premium composition:
glass panel, live status indicator, hero title, description, launch countdown
and CTAs. Reuses the existing hero/motion system; no new dependencies.
- Add components/site/launch-countdown.tsx: hydration-safe client countdown
(days/hours/minutes/seconds), localized labels, Arabic-aware typography,
"launched" fallback when the target passes.
- Rewrite app/[locale]/coming-soon/page.tsx around the countdown and a single
easy-to-edit LAUNCH_DATE_ISO constant (default ~45 days out).
- Add comingSoon i18n keys (status, countdownLabel, unit labels, launched)
to en/de/ar.
