Replaced simple circular blobs with irregular organic shapes that smoothly drift across the screen. Added decorative squiggly lines and geometric accent shapes for visual interest.

Changes:
- Create irregular blob shapes using SVG paths with random radii and quadratic curves
- Distribute blobs evenly across screen using grid system with randomization
- Make blob size scalable based on palette color count (fewer colors = bigger blobs)
- Add 5 animated squiggly lines with stroke dash animation
- Add 8 rotating geometric accent shapes
- Remove particle system in favor of cleaner blob-focused design
- Use CSS transforms for smooth animation without jitter

Added k-means clustering to extract color proportions from images, enabling
gradient backgrounds weighted by color dominance. This is a work-in-progress
commit with partial implementation.

Changes:
- Add extract_colors_with_proportions() using k-means clustering
- Update palette_colors structure from list of hex to list of {color, percentage}
- Update default_palette() to return new dict structure
- Add dependencies: Pillow, numpy, scikit-learn

Still TODO (see PROGRESS.md):
- Update admin.py, views.py, widgets.py for new data structure
- Update templates to use .color accessor
- Reset migrations
- Scale blobs proportionally based on color percentages

Note: This commit contains incomplete changes and will not work without
completing the remaining updates documented in PROGRESS.md

Simplified approach: colors are now sorted by prominence (most dominant first)
using k-means clustering. Visual elements scale based on color position:
dominant colors get bigger blobs, more instances, and more gradient space.

Changes:
- Use k-means clustering to extract and sort colors by prominence
- Most dominant color gets 0-40% of gradient, others share 40-100%
- Blob size scales from 300px (dominant) to 90px (least prominent)
- Blob count scales from 3 (dominant) to 1 (least prominent)
- Add numpy and scikit-learn dependencies
- Add g++ to Dockerfile for building scientific Python packages
- Update PROGRESS.md with completed implementation details

Visual impact:
- Color 1: largest blobs (300px), 3 instances, 40% of gradient
- Color 2+: progressively smaller blobs and fewer instances

- Fixed CSRF token missing error in re-extract colors button by implementing
  proper CSRF token handling with dynamic form creation
- Fixed CSS gradient artifact in deal detail page by improving color
  distribution calculation in linear gradient
- Updated migration help text for palette_colors field to clarify color order
- Added QWEN.md documentation for project context and migration management

Implement a decorator-based approach to automatically apply Unfold theme CSS
classes to django-object-actions buttons, ensuring visual consistency with
the admin interface without manual configuration.

Changes:
- Create unfold_action decorator in deals/admin_mixins.py that automatically
  injects Unfold theme classes to match History/View on site buttons
- Update DealAdmin to use @unfold_action decorator on action methods
- Remove manual CSS styling (delete admin-styles.css)
- Remove STYLES configuration from settings.py
- Rename QWEN.md to AGENT.md and create symlinks (QWEN.md, CLAUDE.md)
- Add documentation notes about running Django commands in Docker container

Automatically detect when the image URL is modified on an existing deal
and re-extract the color palette from the new image. This ensures colors
stay in sync with the image without manual intervention.

Changes:
- Add image change detection in save_model
- Automatically call extract_colors_from_url when image URL changes
- Show success/error messages for automatic re-extraction

Mark Phase 3 as completed and document recent work:
- Automatic Unfold theme styling for django-object-actions
- Automatic color palette re-extraction on image changes

Remove 'Recent Changes' section and add clear instructions:
- This file is for architecture and setup documentation
- Use CURRENT_WORK.md for tracking active development
- Add admin_mixins.py to Key Files and Components
- Update admin customization description with new features

The web service when there was an error would restart super rapidly and
cause cpu usage to spike. This was annoying during development.

so watchmedo doesn't restart when the program exits

The flower reverse proxy and permissions code was put in the config app.
It makes more sense to put it in the tasks app :)

The key was to:

- enable the xheaders option in flower
- set the url_prefix to /admin/flower in flower
- make revproxy view in tasks.views to add the "/admin/flower/" path on
  to the end of the upstream path

This makes flower and django revproxy match up with where they think
they're hosted.

The default Unfold admin theme converts list views into stacked
cards on mobile, which is hard to read with many columns. Override
the change_list_results template and add CSS to keep it as a normal
horizontally-scrollable table on all screen sizes.
