+## Projects & tags (multi-project harness)
+
+`playwright.config.ts` defines 3 projects:
+
+| Script | Projects | Runs |
+|---|---|---|
+| `npm run test:e2e` | `chromium-desktop` + `chromium-mobile` | every non-`@visual` spec on desktop; `@mobile`-tagged on a Pixel 7 viewport |
+| `npm run test:e2e:visual` | `chromium-visual` (software GL `--use-gl=swiftshader`) | `@visual`-tagged specs only |
+| `npm run test:e2e:update` | `chromium-visual` | (re)generate `@visual` screenshot baselines |
+
+**Tags** go in the test title:
+- `@mobile` — runs on the mobile viewport (mobile AC: layout, tap targets). Untagged specs run desktop-only.
+- `@visual` — captures `toHaveScreenshot` baselines; runs ONLY on `chromium-visual`. Call `freezeScene(page)`
+  (from `_helpers.ts`) **before** `page.goto`, then wait for the scene to mount + settle before capturing.
+  Baselines MUST be generated in the CI container (not a dev Mac); the aesthetic sign-off approves the
+  **swiftshader** render. `@visual` CI stays non-blocking until baselines prove stable across ≥3 runs.
+
 ## Run
 
 ```bash
-npm run test:e2e            # headless, all specs
+npm run test:e2e            # functional (desktop) + mobile, headless
+npm run test:e2e:visual     # visual-regression (swiftshader)
+npm run test:e2e:update     # (re)seed visual baselines — after human aesthetic sign-off
 npm run test:e2e:ui         # interactive UI mode for debugging

+# Design — 3D Experience Polish: Acceptance Criteria & E2E
+
+## Definition of Done (every story)
+`tsc` clean · unit pass · `npm run build` OK · **0 console errors** when scenes mount · mapped E2E specs green ·
+bundle within budget · aesthetic items have a reviewed visual baseline.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+### 3D-V — Visual lift (aesthetic; visual-regression + human sign-off)
+- **AC-V.1 Post-processing active**: `<EffectComposer>` with `<Bloom>` wraps the **two real R3F Canvases** — `PersonalWorldCanvas` and `NatureScene` (NOTE: `CardPullOnboarding` is framer-motion DOM, NOT a Canvas — its polish moved to `ui-layout-readability-polish`); dep pinned `@react-three/postprocessing@^3` (fiber 9.5 / three 0.183). `gl.toneMapping = ACESFilmicToneMapping` and `THREE.ColorManagement.enabled = true` (asserted via init/props). Emissive elements (lantern/lighthouse/rim) render as glow, confirmed against a reviewed swiftshader baseline. Numeric pass-targets (regression guard, not the gate): fog near ≈12, journey-arc opacity ≥0.45 / lineWidth ≥1.5, warm point light `#f59e0b`, indigo ambient `#1e3a5f`.
+- **AC-V.2 Light/colour mood**: corporate-cyan fill (`#38bdf8`) replaced by warm-core (`~#f59e0b` point light) + indigo shadow (`~#1e3a5f`); verified by baseline.
+- **AC-V.3 Atmospheric depth**: fog near plane pulled in (≈12) with daylight-driven colour; distant terrain visibly recedes; baseline.
+- **AC-V.4 Metaphor visible**: JourneyArcs opacity ≥ 0.45 / lineWidth ≥ 1.5 (or animated); arcs clearly visible on mobile baseline.
+- **AC-V.5 Camera + Float**: NatureScene camera reframed (horizon in lower third); island `Float` symmetric about y=0 (no orbit-pivot drift); baseline.
+- **AC-V.6 Palette coherence**: no `purple-*` in 3D/world UI (mood tags → amber); card-pull burst has angle/colour jitter + a warm ambient source; baseline.
+- **AC-V.7 Human sign-off**: a reviewer approves before/after screenshots; baselines committed via `test:e2e:update`.
+
+### 3D-P — Performance & robustness (measurable)
+- **AC-P.1 Render pauses when not visible** (REVISED — `frameloop="demand"` dropped: it would freeze the perpetual auto-rotate/orbit/fog/fireflies that 3D-V enhances, and conflicts with `MeshReflectorMaterial`'s per-frame FBO). Keep `frameloop="always"` but **stop the loop when the work isn't seen**: render halts when the 3D modal is closed/unmounted, when the tab is hidden (`document.visibilitychange`), and when `prefers-reduced-motion` is set; dpr capped and fireflies throttled. Asserted: with the modal closed OR `emulateMedia({reducedMotion:'reduce'})`, `gl.info.render.frame` does not advance over a 1.5 s window (read via an `import.meta.env`-guarded `__r3fRenderCount` hook).
+- **AC-P.2 No per-frame allocation**: no `new THREE.Color(` (or equivalent heap alloc) inside any `useFrame` (static check / lint rule).
+- **AC-P.3 Reduced-motion**: with `emulateMedia({ reducedMotion: 'reduce' })`, idle 3D animation is paused/static; a live OS toggle is respected (subscription, not one-shot).
+- **AC-P.4 WebGL fallback**: when WebGL is unavailable or context is lost, a graceful fallback UI renders (not blank, no crash); the `PersonalWorldScene` error boundary catches Three.js errors.
+- **AC-P.5 Bundle budget**: `manualChunks` emits separate `three`/`drei`/`maplibre` chunks; **main entry chunk ≤ 600 KB gzipped** (build-size assertion).
+- **AC-P.6 No leak**: opening then closing the PersonalWorld modal **10×** does not grow the JS heap unboundedly (CDP heap snapshot delta within a generous threshold; geometries/materials disposed).
+
+## E2E mapping
+
+| Spec file | Project | Covers | Key assertions |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `e2e/three-d.spec.ts` | desktop + `@mobile` | P.1, P.3, P.4, P.6 + "0 console errors" | `freezeScene`; assert `gl.info.render.frame` does NOT advance when modal closed / `reducedMotion:reduce` (1.5 s window); reduced-motion → static; stub `HTMLCanvasElement.getContext('webgl')`→null → fallback text; open/close ×10 → heap delta bound |
+| `e2e/visual-3d.spec.ts` | `chromium-visual` (swiftshader) | V.1–V.6 (3D only) | `freezeScene` then `toHaveScreenshot('personal-world.png')`, `toHaveScreenshot('nature-scene.png')` (card-pull baseline lives in ui-layout, not here) |
+| (build) `scripts/check-bundle-size.mjs` | — | P.5 | parse `dist/assets/*`; assert main chunk ≤ budget + named vendor chunks exist |
+| (static) eslint rule / grep test | — | P.2 | fail if `new THREE.Color(` appears within a `useFrame` body |
+
+**Determinism:** every 3D spec calls `freezeScene(page)` (reduced-motion + seeded RNG + settle) before
+asserting/capturing. Visual specs run only under `chromium-visual` with `--use-gl=swiftshader`.
+
+## Notes / decisions
+- New dep `@react-three/postprocessing` is approved in scope (needed for Bloom).
+- Aesthetic AC are gated by **visual-regression baseline + reviewer sign-off**, NOT by automated pixel rules
+  beyond "diff vs approved baseline" — the harness can only catch *regressions from* an approved look.
+- `__r3fRenderCount` is a dev/test-only hook (guarded by `import.meta.env`) so demand-rendering is testable.
+- Bundle budget 600 KB gz is a starting target; tighten in `e2e-harness-upgrade` follow-up if achievable.

+# 3D Experience Polish (cảm quan + performance)
+
+## Why
+
+MoodTrip's 3D scenes (R3F: `PersonalWorldCanvas`, `NatureScene`, `PersonalWorldMonuments`,
+`CardPullOnboarding`) are functional but read as "default three.js" and waste device resources. Two audits
+(technical + aesthetic) found concrete gaps:
+
+- **Aesthetic**: no post-processing pipeline at all (`@react-three/postprocessing` absent), so high
+  `emissiveIntensity` lanterns/lighthouse render as flat chalk-white instead of glowing — the single biggest
+  "unreviewed" signal. The fill light is saturated corporate cyan (`#38bdf8`), fog has no depth (near plane
+  30 vs terrain ~25), the core JourneyArcs metaphor is near-invisible (opacity 0.22), mood tags use an
+  unanchored purple, and the card-pull burst is a perfectly symmetric "spinner".
+- **Technical**: 5 always-on `useFrame` loops at 60 fps with `frameloop="always"` (GPU/battery drain on a
+  static scene), ~600 `new THREE.Color()` allocations/sec causing GC microstutter, no WebGL availability
+  guard / `webglcontextlost` handler / error boundary on `PersonalWorldScene` (iOS context-loss crashes the
+  modal), one-shot `prefers-reduced-motion`, no `manualChunks` (three+drei in the 1 MB main bundle), and no
+  instancing for up to 25 monuments.
+
+These degrade both the intended dreamy travel mood and low-end mobile performance.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- **3D-V Visual lift**: add `@react-three/postprocessing` (`<Bloom>` + ACES tone mapping +
+  `ColorManagement.enabled`); replace corporate-cyan fill with a warm-core / indigo-shadow split; deepen fog
+  with daylight-driven color; raise JourneyArcs visibility; fix camera framing + symmetric `Float`; apply a
+  flatShading hierarchy (stylized nature vs polished cultural monuments); recolor unanchored purple → amber;
+  warm up the card-pull burst/ambient.
+- **3D-P Performance & robustness**: keep `frameloop="always"` but **pause the loop when not seen**
+  (unmount/suspend on modal close, stop on tab `visibilitychange`, static under reduced-motion; cap dpr +
+  throttle fireflies) — NOT `frameloop="demand"`, which would freeze auto-rotate/orbit/fog and fight
+  `MeshReflectorMaterial`; hoist `THREE.Color` out of `useFrame`; WebGL guard + `webglcontextlost` + error
+  boundary on `PersonalWorldScene`; live `prefers-reduced-motion` subscription; `manualChunks` (regression
+  guard — three/drei/maplibre already auto-split); instancing for repeated monuments; dispose on unmount;
+  minor (sphere segments, AA). NOTE: card-pull polish moved to `ui-layout-readability-polish` (DOM, not 3D).
+
+## Impact
+
+- Affected code: `components/three/PersonalWorldCanvas.tsx`, `NatureScene.tsx`, `PersonalWorldMonuments.tsx`,
+  `components/PersonalWorldScene.tsx`, `vite.config.ts`, `index.tsx` (ColorManagement),
+  `package.json` (`@react-three/postprocessing@^3`). (CardPullOnboarding excluded — handled in ui-layout.)
+- **Sequencing: this story runs BEFORE `ui-layout-readability-polish`** (harness → 3d → ui-layout) so the
+  ui scrims/baselines are tuned over the FINAL post-processed 3D, captured once.
+- Risk lane: **medium** — visual changes are reviewer/visual-regression gated; perf/robustness changes are
+  measurable. Adds one dependency (`@react-three/postprocessing`, explicitly approved here).
+- Runs on the harness in `e2e-harness-upgrade` (must land first), incl. the `chromium-visual` swiftshader
+  project for baselines.
+- Aesthetic AC cannot be fully automated — they require **visual-regression baselines + human sign-off**;
+  CI gates only the measurable proxies.

+# Tasks — 3D Experience Polish
+
+## 1. Post-processing + colour management (3D-V)
+- [ ] 1.1 Add dep `@react-three/postprocessing@^3` (verify fiber 9.5 / three 0.183 peer matrix FIRST); `<EffectComposer><Bloom mipmapBlur …/>` on the two real Canvases (PersonalWorldCanvas, NatureScene)
+- [ ] 1.2 `gl={{ toneMapping: ACESFilmicToneMapping, toneMappingExposure }}`; `THREE.ColorManagement.enabled = true` in `index.tsx`
+- [ ] 1.3 Replace cyan fill with warm-core point light + indigo ambient (`PersonalWorldCanvas.tsx:41`)
+- [ ] 1.4 Fog depth + daylight colour (`NatureScene.tsx:532`, feed `DynamicFog`)
+- [ ] 1.5 JourneyArcs visibility (opacity/width/animate) (`PersonalWorldCanvas.tsx:115`)
+- [ ] 1.6 Camera reframe (`NatureScene.tsx:328`) + symmetric `Float` (`PersonalWorldCanvas.tsx:54`)
+- [ ] 1.7 flatShading hierarchy on monuments (`PersonalWorldMonuments.tsx`); mood-tag purple→amber (`PersonalWorldScene.tsx:117`)
+- [ ] 1.8 (MOVED to `ui-layout-readability-polish` — CardPullOnboarding is framer-motion DOM, not 3D)
+
+## 2. Render-pause + allocations (3D-P1/P2)
+- [ ] 2.1 Keep `frameloop="always"` but PAUSE the loop when not seen: unmount/suspend Canvas when modal closed; stop on `document.visibilitychange` (hidden); fully static under `prefers-reduced-motion`; cap dpr; throttle fireflies. (NO `frameloop="demand"` — would freeze auto-rotate/orbit/fog + fight MeshReflectorMaterial.)
+- [ ] 2.2 Hoist scratch `THREE.Color`/vectors to refs; `.set()` inside `useFrame`, no `new` per frame
+- [ ] 2.3 Expose `import.meta.env`-guarded `__r3fRenderCount` (reads `gl.info.render.frame`) for the render-pause assertion; `freezeScene` must also disable `autoRotate`
+
+## 3. Robustness (3D-P3/P4/P6)
+- [ ] 3.1 Live `prefers-reduced-motion` subscription (`PersonalWorldCanvas.tsx:20`); pause loops when reduced
+- [ ] 3.2 WebGL availability guard + `webglcontextlost` via `onCreated`; fallback UI
+- [ ] 3.3 Wrap `LazySceneCanvas` in `SceneErrorBoundary` (`PersonalWorldScene.tsx:173`)
+- [ ] 3.4 Dispose geometries/materials/textures on unmount; verify with open/close ×10 heap check

+# Design — Design System Overhaul
+
+## Token layer (index.css, Tailwind v4 `@theme` + CSS vars)
+Một nguồn chân lý. Ví dụ (tinh chỉnh khi triển khai, giữ AA):
+
+```css
+@theme {
+  /* Surfaces — đêm/mơ, ấm hơn navy thuần */
+  --color-bg:        #0b0f1a;   /* nền sâu */
+  --color-surface:   #141a2b;   /* card */
+  --color-elevated:  #1c2438;   /* card nổi / hero section */
+  --color-border:    #2a3349;
+
+  /* Accents — cân bằng ấm↔lạnh (khớp 3D G002) */
+  --color-accent-cool: #38bdf8;  /* xanh (giữ, nhưng có kỷ luật) */
+  --color-accent-warm: #f59e0b;  /* amber — điểm nhấn cảm xúc, khớp 3D */
+  --color-accent-warm-2:#e8795a; /* terracotta phụ */
+
+  /* Text — thang đạt ≥4.5:1 trên surface */
+  --color-text:       #f1f5f9;   /* primary */
+  --color-text-muted: #aab4c6;   /* nhãn/secondary — KHÔNG dùng slate-500/600 */
+  --color-text-faint: #8b96aa;   /* chỉ cho non-essential, ≥4.5 trên bg */
+
+  --color-success:#34d399; --color-warn:#fbbf24;
+
+  /* Elevation / blur levels */
+  --blur-1: 8px; --blur-2: 16px; --blur-3: 28px;
+  --shadow-1: 0 2px 8px rgb(0 0 0 / .25);
+  --shadow-2: 0 8px 28px rgb(0 0 0 / .35);
+
+  /* Type scale (rem) */
+  --text-eyebrow: .8125rem;  /* 13px, +tracking, NHƯNG đủ contrast */
+  --text-body: .9375rem;     /* 15px */
+  --text-h3: 1.25rem; --text-h2: 1.75rem; --text-h1: 2.5rem;
+
+  /* Spacing rhythm */
+  --space-section: 1.5rem; --radius-card: 1rem;
+}
+```
+Scrim levels (token hoá utility hiện có): `.scrim-1/-2/-3` = radial/linear overlay tăng dần cho text-trên-nền, đảm bảo ≥4.5:1.
+
+## Palette rationale (chống "AI default blue/purple")
+- Không dùng tím-xanh mặc định tràn lan. Chủ đạo: navy ấm + **một** accent ấm (amber) cho hành động/điểm nhấn cảm xúc + accent lạnh có kỷ luật cho thông tin. Đây là *brand* (du lịch theo cảm xúc, ban đêm/mơ) → có lý do rõ ràng, không phải default.
+- Gradient: giữ kỷ luật G003 (tối đa 1 gradient CTA/màn).
+
+## Phá đơn điệu (form rhythm)
+- **Mood = hero section**: nền `--color-elevated`, ring accent-warm nhẹ, lớn hơn — là điểm rơi thị giác đầu tiên.
+- Các section logistics (địa điểm/thời gian/ngân sách) nhẹ hơn (`--color-surface`), gọn, không cạnh tranh với hero.
+- Seam 3D↔form: thêm dải gradient/scrim mềm chuyển từ xanh-3D → `--color-bg` (không cắt gắt).
+- Nhịp: không phải N card đồng kích thước — biến hoá weight/spacing để mắt có điểm dừng.
+
+## Surfaces cần áp token (D2)
+| Surface | Điểm chính |
+|---|---|
+| Hero/landing | grid headline+3D (giữ G003), scrim-2 sau text, accent-warm CTA |
+| TripForm | rhythm trên, nhãn → `--text-muted`, hero mood |
+| ItineraryDisplay + sticky map | màu token, contrast nhãn giờ/giá, giữ layout G003 |
+| CardPullOnboarding | panel token, scrim, warm ambient (giữ G003) |
+| ChatCompanion/Footer/PersonalWorldBadge/IntroScreen | text token (xoá slate-500/600 còn sót) |
+| 3D overlays | đồng bộ amber/indigo G002 |
+
+## a11y (lưới an toàn — không thoả hiệp)
+- Mọi cặp text/nền touched đạt ≥4.5:1 (≥3:1 cho ≥24px/bold). Xác minh bằng `e2e/a11y.spec` (axe 0 serious/critical landing/form/result, desktop+mobile) — **đây là gate cứng**.
+- `--text-faint` chỉ cho non-essential và vẫn phải ≥4.5 trên `--color-bg`.
+
+## Testing
+- `e2e/a11y.spec` (đã có) phải xanh sau đổi màu — đây là regression chính.
+- Visual baseline (chromium-visual) cập nhật có chủ đích; diff được review, không tự nuốt.
+- Render review desktop+mobile cho landing/form/result/card-pull → human aesthetic sign-off.
+- tsc + build xanh.
+
+## Sequencing
+D1 (tokens) → [flexible-mood-input M*] → D2 (áp visual surfaces) → D-verify. Token trước để mood mới và các surface dùng chung, tránh sửa hai lần.

+# Design System Overhaul — color harmony, blur/scrim, readability
+
+## Why
+Sau G003 (layout/a11y/scrim), người dùng vẫn thấy *"UI chưa đủ ấn tượng, màu sắc chưa hài hòa, một số background chưa đủ blur khiến text khó đọc."* Tự kiểm tra render thực tế (form) xác nhận:
+
+- **Đơn điệu**: toàn bộ form là chuỗi card dark-glass xếp dọc *giống hệt nhau* — không nhịp điệu, không điểm nhấn, không phân cấp thị giác. Cảm giác "chưa được review".
+- **Màu chưa hài hòa**: gần như chỉ teal/cyan trên navy; nền 3D xanh lá ở đầu trang tạo "đường nối" gắt với form navy; thiếu tông ấm để cân bằng → cảm xúc lạnh, phẳng.
+- **Đọc khó**: nhãn uppercase nhỏ màu slate (ĐỊA ĐIỂM/THỜI GIAN…) và nhãn mood tí hon độ tương phản thấp; vài chỗ text nằm trên 3D/gradient chưa đủ scrim.
+- Màu/scrim hiện rải rác bằng class Tailwind tuỳ tiện, **không có nguồn chân lý** (design tokens) → mỗi screen lệch nhau, khó giữ nhất quán & khó đạt AA đồng đều.
+
+Người dùng đã chốt: **đại tu hệ thống (design tokens + toàn bộ surfaces)**.
+
+## What Changes
+1. **Design tokens (nguồn chân lý)** trong `index.css` (Tailwind v4 `@theme`/CSS vars): palette ngữ nghĩa cân bằng ấm↔lạnh, thang tương phản đạt AA; type scale; spacing rhythm; elevation/blur levels; scrim levels. Mọi component tiêu thụ token, không hardcode hex rời rạc.
+2. **Palette hài hòa**: giữ cảm giác "mơ/ban đêm" nhưng thêm accent ấm (amber/terracotta) làm điểm nhấn cảm xúc, định nghĩa rõ surface/elevated/border/accent-cool/accent-warm/success/warn; loại bỏ teal-tràn-lan. Khớp với palette 3D (G002: warm `#f59e0b` + indigo `#1e3a5f`) để 3D ↔ UI liền mạch.
+3. **Phá đơn điệu form**: tạo nhịp — section hero (mood) nổi bật hơn các section logistics; varied weight/elevation thay vì N card giống nhau; xử lý seam 3D↔form (chuyển tiếp gradient/scrim mềm).
+4. **Blur/scrim đủ mạnh & nhất quán**: scrim utility theo cấp (token), áp cho MỌI text-trên-nền (3D, ảnh hero, gradient); audit từng bề mặt đạt ≥4.5:1.
+5. **Readability**: nâng nhãn nhỏ uppercase slate → cấp token đọc được (size/contrast); body ≥14px (giữ chuẩn G003); hệ thống hoá thay vì sửa lẻ.
+6. **Áp lại toàn bộ surfaces**: landing/Hero, TripForm, result (ItineraryDisplay + sticky map), card-pull, 3D overlays, Footer — đồng bộ token.
+
+### Out of scope
+- Cấu trúc & hành vi khu mood do change **flexible-mood-input** lo; change này chỉ cấp *token + lớp visual* cho khu đó.
+- Không đổi layout 2-col/sticky-map (G003) — chỉ tinh chỉnh màu/độ tương phản/nhịp.
+- Không đụng logic 3D scene (G002) ngoài việc đồng bộ palette token.
+
+## Impact
+- Affected: `index.css` (tokens — trung tâm), `components/{Hero,TripForm,ItineraryDisplay,CardPullOnboarding,ChatCompanion,Footer,PersonalWorldBadge,IntroScreen,TripHeroBanner,TripMap}.tsx`, có thể `tailwind`/`vite` config nếu cần `@theme`.
+- Risk: thay đổi diện rộng về màu → dễ regress a11y contrast. Lưới an toàn: `e2e/a11y.spec` (axe 0 serious/critical) + visual baseline + render review. Token hoá giúp *giảm* rủi ro dài hạn.
+- Phối hợp: nên làm **sau/song song** flexible-mood-input để khu mood mới hưởng token mới ngay (tránh sửa hai lần). Đề xuất thứ tự: tokens (D1) → mood-input (M*) → áp visual còn lại (D2+).

+# Design — Device-Local Persistence: Acceptance Criteria & E2E
+
+## Definition of Done (every story)
+`tsc` clean · unit pass · `npm run build` OK · no new console errors · mapped E2E specs green · no bundle-budget regression.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+### P1 — Quota-safe + compressed storage
+- **AC-P1.1** Saving a trip then doing a **full page reload** → the trip is still present in the saved list.
+- **AC-P1.2** The persisted `moodtrip_saved_itineraries_list` value is **compressed** (deflate-raw, not raw JSON) and decompresses losslessly to the original object.
+- **AC-P1.3** When `localStorage.setItem` throws `QuotaExceededError`: a clear Vietnamese toast appears (e.g. "Bộ nhớ thiết bị đã đầy…"), the app does **not** crash, and **no** success affordance (confetti/"Đã lưu") is shown.
+- **AC-P1.4** Pre-existing **uncompressed** saved entries still load after the change (read-time migration); no data loss on upgrade.
+
+### P2 — Remove dead cloud code
+- **AC-P2.1** No `supabase*` import remains in the frontend source/bundle; `AuthModal`/`MigrationBanner`/`tripsApi` cloud fns are deleted.
+- **AC-P2.2** `tsc` + `npm run build` + unit + existing E2E all pass after removal (no dangling refs).
+- **AC-P2.3** No `SUPABASE_*` keys remain in `workers/edge-proxy/wrangler.toml`; the `/v1/og` route + `supabaseRest` are removed; worker tests pass.
+- **AC-P2.4** Create-trip + save + share flows show **no regression** vs current behavior.
+
+### P3 — Export / Import
+- **AC-P3.1** "Export" downloads a `.moodtrip.json` containing all saved trips; the file parses as valid JSON matching the documented schema (version + trips[]).
+- **AC-P3.2** With storage cleared, "Import" of that file restores every trip into the saved list (visible after import).
+- **AC-P3.3** Importing a malformed/incompatible file shows a friendly error and does not crash or partially corrupt existing data.
+- **AC-P3.4** Round-trip (export → clear → import) yields byte-identical trip data (unit-asserted).
+
+### P4 — Saved-trips management UI
+- **AC-P4.1** The saved list renders every stored trip with title + destination.
+- **AC-P4.2** Delete removes the trip from the UI **and** from `localStorage`, persists across reload, and touches no network.
+
+### P5 — Share via URL-embed
+- **AC-P5.1** "Share" produces a URL containing a compressed `?trip=` param; opening it in a **fresh browser context** renders the shared itinerary with no backend call.
+- **AC-P5.2** A multi-day itinerary either stays under the practical URL limit (~8 KB) or the UI warns the user; verified by a unit size check.
+- **AC-P5.3** The slug/OG share UI is gone — no path that 404s without a DB.
+
+## E2E mapping (specs run on the `e2e-harness-upgrade` harness, MOCK_ITINERARY)
+
+| Spec file | Covers | Key assertions |
+|---|---|---|
+| `e2e/persistence.spec.ts` | P1.1, P3, P4, P5 | generate→save→reload→present; export download → assert file JSON; clear+import→present; delete→absent after reload; capture `?trip=` URL → new context → renders |
+| `e2e/save-quota.spec.ts` | P1.3 | `addInitScript` overrides `localStorage.setItem` to throw `QuotaExceededError` on the trips key → assert toast text + no confetti + app alive |
+| (unit) `services/__tests__/dataExport.test.ts` | P3.4, P1.2, P1.4 | compress/decompress round-trip; export/import fidelity; uncompressed→compressed migration |
+| (unit) `services/__tests__/shareService.test.ts` | P5.2 | encoded `?trip=` size bound; decode fidelity |
+| existing `e2e/create-trip.spec.ts` | P2.4 | regression — still green after cloud removal |
+
+**Determinism:** all specs use `MOCK_ITINERARY` (deterministic Đà Lạt fixture) so generated content is stable;
+`preacceptConsent` + `gotoHome` helpers reused. localStorage is cleared per test via a fresh context.
+
+## Notes / decisions
+- Compression reuses `shareService.ts`'s `deflate-raw`; do **not** add a new dep.
+- "Cross-device" = explicit user export/import file, not silent sync. This is the documented limitation.
+- Removing `/v1/og` is safe: it depends on Supabase which is being removed; OG social cards are dropped (documented).

+# Device-Local Persistence (serverless, no database)
+
+## Why
+
+MoodTrip is intentionally serverless with **no database**. The app already ships a full Supabase
+accounts/cloud/sharing layer, but it is **dead in production**: `AuthModal`/`MigrationBanner` are never
+mounted (`App.tsx` has no entry point → `useAuth()` always returns `user: null`), Supabase env vars are
+unset, and `tripsApi` (`saveTrip`/`listOwnedTrips`/`forkTrip`/`deleteTrip`) plus slug-share + OG cards are
+unreachable code that only adds confusion and a placeholder-secret footgun. Meanwhile the **real** save path
+is localStorage-only and fragile: `App.tsx:408` writes `SAVED_ITINERARIES_LS_KEY` with no `try/catch`, so a
+`QuotaExceededError` fires confetti + "saved" feedback while the trip is silently lost; itineraries are
+stored raw (~80–150 KB each) risking iOS Safari's ~5 MB PWA eviction; and there is no cross-device story
+because cloud is dead.
+
+Decision: **commit to device-local persistence as the official strategy.** Make localStorage robust, remove
+the dead cloud code, and provide file-based export/import as the portability ("cross-device") answer.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- **P1 — Quota-safe + compressed storage**: wrap every `localStorage.setItem` in a quota-aware utility
+  (catch `QuotaExceededError` → clear Vietnamese toast, no false success); compress saved itineraries with
+  the existing `deflate-raw` codec in `shareService.ts` (~70% smaller); migrate existing uncompressed entries
+  on read.
+- **P2 — Remove dead cloud code**: delete `AuthModal`, `MigrationBanner`, `tripsApi` cloud functions,
+  `supabaseClient`, `supabaseRest`, the `if (user)` auto-save branch, and all `SUPABASE_*` vars from the
+  Worker config. Strip the unreachable slug-share/OG path.
+- **P3 — Export / Import**: expand the stub `services/dataExport.ts` into a real export (download a
+  `.moodtrip.json` of all saved trips) + import (restore on another device), with schema validation and
+  friendly rejection of malformed files.
+- **P4 — Saved-trips management UI**: list saved trips (title/destination), delete (localStorage-only,
+  persists across reload), optional rename.
+- **P5 — Share via URL-embed**: standardize on the DB-free `?trip=` compressed-URL share (works device-side);
+  warn when an itinerary is too large for the URL; remove the slug/OG share UI.
+
+## Impact
+
+- Affected code: `App.tsx` (save/delete/fork handlers, persistence), `constants.ts`, `services/dataExport.ts`,
+  `services/shareService.ts`, `components/ItineraryDisplay.tsx`, `components/Hero.tsx` (saved list); **deletions**:
+  `components/AuthModal.tsx`, `components/MigrationBanner.tsx`, `services/tripsApi.ts`, `services/supabaseClient.ts`,
+  `workers/edge-proxy/src/supabaseRest.ts` + `/v1/og` route + `SUPABASE_*` config.
+- Risk lane: **medium** (touches the save path + deletes code) → validate:quick + unit + E2E (persistence specs)
+  + review gate before archive.
+- Runs on the harness defined in `e2e-harness-upgrade` (must land first).
+- No proxy/API change. Pure client + dead-code removal.

+# Design — E2E Harness Upgrade
+
+This document is the **harness contract** ("quy định harness"): how E2E runs for the device-local and 3D
+changes. Feature specs MUST conform to these rules.
+
+## 1. Run profiles
+
+| Profile | Project | Webserver | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Functional | `chromium-desktop` (1280×900) | `MOCK_ITINERARY=1 npm run dev` | All non-`@visual` specs (persistence, 3D behavioural) |
+| Mobile | `chromium-mobile` (Pixel 7 ≈ 412×915, `isMobile`, `hasTouch`) | same | Mobile-tagged AC (map height, 3D on small screen) |
+| Visual | `chromium-visual` (1280×900, `--use-gl=swiftshader`) | same | `@visual` specs only (3D screenshot baselines) |
+
+- `fullyParallel: false`, `workers: 1` (unchanged — 3D + dev server are heavy).
+- `MOCK_ITINERARY=1` stays the default so generation is **deterministic** (Đà Lạt fixture) — no live proxy
+  calls in CI. A separate live smoke test against the deployed Worker is out of scope here.
+
+## 2. Determinism rules (mandatory before any 3D assertion/screenshot)
+
+`freezeScene(page)` helper MUST be called before interacting with / capturing a 3D scene:
+1. `await page.emulateMedia({ reducedMotion: 'reduce' })` — stops idle animation.
+2. Seed RNG: `addInitScript` overriding `Math.random` with a fixed-seed PRNG (Fireflies/particles are random).
+3. Wait for settle: `await page.waitForTimeout(600)` after mount, then assert the scene's render counter has
+   stopped advancing (see `frameloop="demand"` AC in 3d-experience-polish).
+
+## 3. Visual-regression policy
+
+- Use `await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot('<name>.png', { maxDiffPixelRatio: 0.02, threshold: 0.25 })`.
+- Software GL (`swiftshader`) is **required** for the visual project — hardware GL output differs per driver.
+- Baselines live in `e2e/__screenshots__/`; committed to git.
+- Seeding/updating baselines: `npm run test:e2e:update` — **only** after a human has visually reviewed the
+  rendered scene (aesthetic sign-off). Updating a baseline is a deliberate, reviewed act, never automatic.
+- A failed visual diff in CI is **informational** (non-blocking) until baselines prove stable across ≥3 runs,
+  then promoted to a gate.
+- **Baselines MUST be generated in the SAME container that runs CI** (Docker-pinned Playwright image), not a
+  dev Mac — font/Mesa/libc drift will otherwise diff on Linux CI. The human aesthetic sign-off approves the
+  **swiftshader** render (what CI sees), not the local hardware-GL render — they differ (Bloom/ACES float
+  precision diverges most under software GL).
+- **drei `<Stars>`/`<Sparkles>` use their own internal RNG**, not always `Math.random` — seeding `Math.random`
+  in `freezeScene` may NOT fully determinize them. Verify empirically; keep `e2e-visual` non-blocking until proven.
+- `freezeScene` MUST also disable `OrbitControls autoRotate` (PersonalWorldCanvas) — reduced-motion covers it
+  today, but state the dependency so the screenshot is static.
+
+## 4. CI gate matrix
+
+| Job | Specs | Blocking? |
+|---|---|---|
+| `e2e-functional` | three-d.spec (non-visual), layout.spec, a11y.spec, existing specs | **Yes (gate)** |
+| `e2e-mobile` | `@mobile`-tagged | Yes (gate) |
+| `e2e-visual` | visual-3d.spec | No (informational first), promote after ≥3 stable runs |
+
+(No `persistence.spec` — device-local-persistence is out of this ultragoal.)
+
+- Functional + mobile jobs `needs:` the existing `build` job; `build` itself gains `needs: [test-worker]`
+  (closes the unrelated gap where a red worker test didn't block build).
+
+## 5. Run commands (canonical)
+
+```bash
+E2E_PORT=5180 CI=1 npm run test:e2e                  # functional + mobile, deterministic
+E2E_PORT=5180 npm run test:e2e -- e2e/persistence.spec.ts
+npm run test:e2e:visual                              # visual project (swiftshader)
+npm run test:e2e:update                              # seed/update baselines (after visual sign-off)
+```
+
+## 6. Flake policy
+
+- `retries: 2` in CI (unchanged). A spec that needs >2 retries to pass is quarantined (`.fixme`) with an
+  issue, never left flaky-but-green.
+- 3D heap/leak and idle-render assertions use generous thresholds (software GL timing varies); they catch
+  unbounded growth, not exact numbers.

+# E2E Harness Upgrade (device-local + 3D verification)
+
+## Why
+
+The device-local persistence and 3D-polish work cannot be verified by the current Playwright harness.
+Today: a single Chromium **desktop** project (1280×900), a `MOCK_ITINERARY=1` dev webserver, **no
+visual-regression**, and E2E is **not wired into CI** (`ci.yml` runs typecheck/unit/build only). To gate
+the upcoming work we need (a) deterministic, GPU-independent 3D rendering so screenshots are stable, (b) a
+**mobile viewport** project for the mobile AC (map height, 3D on low-end), (c) **visual-regression**
+baselines for the aesthetic 3D items that cannot be asserted programmatically, and (d) a **CI gate** for the
+functional specs. This change upgrades the harness only — it is the contract the two feature changes run
+against.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- **Mobile project**: add a second Playwright project using a mobile viewport (Pixel 7 ≈ 412×915) alongside
+  the existing desktop Chromium, so mobile-specific AC run automatically.
+- **Deterministic 3D**: launch Chromium with `--use-gl=swiftshader` (software GL) for the visual project so
+  3D output is identical across machines/CI; set `toHaveScreenshot` tolerances (`maxDiffPixelRatio`,
+  `threshold`) appropriate for software GL.
+- **Determinism helper**: `e2e/_helpers.ts` gains `freezeScene(page)` — emulates `prefers-reduced-motion:
+  reduce`, seeds `Math.random`, and waits for one settled frame before any 3D screenshot.
+- **Visual-regression**: enable `expect(page).toHaveScreenshot()`; baselines stored under
+  `e2e/__screenshots__/`; `@visual`-tagged specs only.
+- **npm scripts**: `test:e2e` (functional, MOCK mode, all non-`@visual`), `test:e2e:visual` (visual project),
+  `test:e2e:update` (seed/update baselines).
+- **CI**: add an `e2e-functional` job (three-d non-visual + layout + a11y + existing specs) as a **required
+  gate**; add an `e2e-visual` job that is **non-blocking** (informational) until baselines prove stable across
+  ≥3 runs (cross-GPU/software-GL flake risk), then promote.
+
+## Impact
+
+- Affected code: `playwright.config.ts`, `e2e/_helpers.ts`, `package.json` (scripts),
+  `.github/workflows/ci.yml`. No application behavior change.
+- Risk lane: **test-infra only** → validate:quick + a green run of the existing specs under the new config.
+- This change MUST land first, then `3d-experience-polish`, then `ui-layout-readability-polish` (the two
+  ultragoal feature stories) — both reference the run profiles + visual-regression policy in this `design.md`.
+  (Persistence is OUT of this ultragoal: no `persistence.spec` and no persistence-driven rationale here.)

+# Tasks — E2E Harness Upgrade
+
+## 1. Playwright projects
+- [ ] 1.1 Add `chromium-mobile` project (Pixel 7 viewport, `isMobile`, `hasTouch`) to `playwright.config.ts`
+- [ ] 1.2 Add `chromium-visual` project with `launchOptions.args: ['--use-gl=swiftshader']`
+- [ ] 1.3 Keep `chromium-desktop` as the default functional project; `workers: 1`, `fullyParallel: false`
+- [ ] 1.4 Configure `expect.toHaveScreenshot` defaults (`maxDiffPixelRatio: 0.02`, `threshold: 0.25`)
+
+## 2. Determinism helper
+- [ ] 2.1 `freezeScene(page)` in `e2e/_helpers.ts`: emulate reduced-motion + seed `Math.random` via `addInitScript` + settle wait
+- [ ] 2.2 Document tag conventions: `@visual`, `@mobile` in `e2e/README.md`
+
+## 3. npm scripts
+- [ ] 3.1 `test:e2e` → functional + mobile projects, exclude `@visual` (`--grep-invert @visual`)
+- [ ] 3.2 `test:e2e:visual` → `--project chromium-visual --grep @visual`
+- [ ] 3.3 `test:e2e:update` → `test:e2e:visual --update-snapshots`
+
+## 4. CI wiring
+- [ ] 4.1 Add `e2e-functional` job (needs `build`) — required gate
+- [ ] 4.2 Add `e2e-mobile` job — required gate
+- [ ] 4.3 Add `e2e-visual` job — `continue-on-error: true` (informational) initially
+- [ ] 4.4 Add `test-worker` to `build.needs` (close pre-existing gap)
+
+## 5. Validation
+- [ ] 5.1 Existing specs (`create-trip`, `page-nav`, etc.) pass green under the new multi-project config
+- [ ] 5.2 `freezeScene` produces a byte-stable screenshot across 3 consecutive local runs (swiftshader)
+- [ ] 5.3 `npm run typecheck` clean; CI dry-run shows the new jobs registered
+- [ ] 5.4 Review gate — confirm no app behavior changed (test-infra only)

+# Design — Flexible Mood Input (Hybrid)
+
+## Data model
+
+```ts
+// types.ts — NEW flexible model (replaces enum-only)
+export interface MoodInput {
+  /** Free-text emotional description — PRIMARY signal. */
+  text: string;
+  /** Suggestion chips the user tapped (labels appended into text or kept as tags). */
+  seeds: string[];
+  /** 0..1 how strongly the mood should drive the plan. Default 0.5. */
+  intensity: number;
+}
+
+export interface FormData {
+  // ...unchanged fields...
+  mood: MoodInput;            // NEW
+  // moods / shortMoods: REMOVED from the active form path
+  personalNote: string;       // kept — now "ghi chú thêm" (logistics/constraints), distinct from mood
+}
+```
+
+`Mood` / `ShortTripMood` string-literal types: **kept exported** only for the localStorage migration shim (reading old saved trips), marked `@deprecated`. Not used in the form.
+
+### Why keep `personalNote` separate from `mood.text`?
+Mood = *cảm xúc/phong cách mong muốn*. `personalNote` = *ràng buộc cụ thể* ("đi với trẻ nhỏ", "không ăn cay", "tránh leo trèo"). Gộp lại sẽ làm prompt mơ hồ. Giữ hai field, label rõ: mood là hero, note là phụ.
+
+## Seeds (constants.ts)
+Thay `MOOD_OPTIONS`/`SHORT_TRIP_MOOD_OPTIONS` bằng *gợi ý* (mỗi cái là một cụm cảm xúc tiếng Việt tự nhiên, không phải enum khoá cứng):
+
+```ts
+export const MOOD_SEEDS: string[] = [
+  'chữa lành', 'chậm rãi nghỉ dưỡng', 'gần thiên nhiên', 'phiêu lưu nhẹ',
+  'một mình tĩnh lặng', 'lãng mạn đôi lứa', 'đắm mình văn hoá', 'sôi động khám phá',
+];
+export const SHORT_MOOD_SEEDS: string[] = [
+  'hẹn hò', 'cafe đẹp check-in', 'food tour', 'nightlife', 'vui chơi nhóm', 'chill dạo phố',
+];
+```
+Seeds là *gợi ý mở* — người dùng có thể bỏ qua hoàn toàn và tự gõ. Không có ràng buộc "phải chọn ≥1". Đây là điểm khác biệt cốt lõi với 6-mood cũ.
+
+## Prompt building (geminiService.ts)
+Bỏ `moodTextMap` / `shortMoodTextMap`. Xây mood block từ `MoodInput`:
+
+```ts
+function buildMoodText(mood: MoodInput): string {
+  const parts: string[] = [];
+  const seeds = mood.seeds.filter(Boolean);
+  if (seeds.length) parts.push(`Gợi ý cảm xúc: ${seeds.join(', ')}.`);
+  const free = mood.text?.trim();
+  // free-text is USER DATA → fence it (anti prompt-injection), same as personalNote
+  if (free) parts.push(fenceUserText('CẢM XÚC NGƯỜI DÙNG', free));
+  if (!parts.length) return 'Không nêu cảm xúc cụ thể — hãy tạo lịch trình cân bằng, đa dạng.';
+  const level = mood.intensity >= 0.66 ? 'RẤT ĐẬM (hãy để cảm xúc này chi phối mạnh toàn bộ lịch trình)'
+              : mood.intensity <= 0.33 ? 'nhẹ (chỉ là sắc thái phụ)'
+              : 'vừa phải';
+  parts.push(`Mức độ mong muốn cảm xúc này dẫn dắt: ${level}.`);
+  return parts.join('\n    ');
+}
+```
+Inject vào `- Tâm trạng & cảm xúc mong muốn:\n    ${buildMoodText(data.mood)}`. AI tự diễn giải sắc thái thay vì nhận câu khuôn. Short-trip dùng cùng helper.
+
+### Security
+Free-text mood đi qua `fenceUserText` (giống `personalNote` hiện tại) — không nối thẳng vào instruction. Giữ nguyên `sanitizeInline` cho `destination`. Không nới lỏng bất kỳ guard nào đã có.
+
+## UI (TripForm.tsx)
+- State: `const [mood, setMood] = useState<MoodInput>({ text: '', seeds: [], intensity: 0.5 })`.
+- Layout khu mood (hero của form):
+  - Tiêu đề lớn, dễ đọc (dùng tokens từ design-system-overhaul): "Hôm nay bạn muốn chuyến đi thế nào?"
+  - `textarea` cảm xúc lớn (2–3 dòng), placeholder ví dụ cảm xúc thật.
+  - Hàng chip seeds (MOOD_SEEDS hoặc SHORT_MOOD_SEEDS theo tripMode): tap → toggle vào `mood.seeds` *và* append gợi ý vào cuối textarea nếu chưa có (người dùng sửa tự do). Chip có trạng thái selected rõ (aria-pressed).
+  - Slider intensity (nhẹ→mạnh) với nhãn text, `aria-label`, bàn phím điều khiển được.
+- **Validation mới**: không bắt buộc — nếu cả `text` rỗng và `seeds` rỗng, vẫn cho submit (prompt fallback "cân bằng đa dạng"). Bỏ `moodError`. (Giảm ma sát = linh động hơn.)
+- a11y: textarea có `<label>`, slider có nhãn, chip là `<button aria-pressed>`; đạt 0 serious/critical trên axe (giữ chuẩn G003).
+
+## Migration (saved trips)
+Khi đọc `SAVED_ITINERARIES_LS_KEY`/`ITINERARY_LS_KEY`: các bản ghi cũ chỉ lưu `ItineraryPlan` (không lưu FormData mood), nên rủi ro thấp. Nếu có FormData cũ với `moods: Mood[]`, shim `migrateMood(old): MoodInput` map enum→seed-label (`{relax:'chậm rãi nghỉ dưỡng', explore:'sôi động khám phá', ...}`) để không mất dữ liệu. Đặt shim cạnh nơi parse localStorage.
+
+## Testing
+- Unit (geminiService): `buildMoodText` — seeds-only, text-only, cả hai, rỗng (fallback), 3 mức intensity; free-text được fence; không còn tham chiếu `moodTextMap`.
+- Unit (TripForm): submit khi mood rỗng vẫn hợp lệ; chip toggle cập nhật state + textarea; slider đổi intensity.
+- E2E: cập nhật `_helpers` + `create-trip`/`a11y`/`layout` specs để điền ô cảm xúc thay vì click nút mood; mock-itinerary path vẫn xanh; axe 0 serious/critical trên form.
+
+## Rollout
+Behind không cần flag (UI thuần + prompt). Gỡ enum trong cùng PR; typecheck là lưới an toàn. NO PUSH cho tới khi người dùng duyệt thẩm mỹ (giống G002/G003).

+# Flexible Mood Input — Hybrid emotion-driven (thay 6 mood cứng)
+
+## Why
+MoodTrip lấy *cảm xúc người dùng* làm trung tâm, nhưng UX hiện tại chỉ cho chọn trong **6 mood cố định** (`MOOD_OPTIONS`) + 6 cho short-trip (`SHORT_TRIP_MOOD_OPTIONS`). Đây không phải một feature tốt:
+
+- Cảm xúc con người không rời rạc thành 6 nhãn. "Mệt, cần chậm lại, gần biển, ít người, phiêu lưu nhẹ" không map được vào bất kỳ nút nào.
+- Backend càng làm hẹp: `geminiService.buildPrompt` map mỗi mood-id → **một câu cố định** (`moodTextMap`), nối bằng " Kết hợp với: " → AI nhận đúng các câu khuôn, mất hết sắc thái.
+- `personalNote` (free-text) đã tồn tại nhưng bị xếp thứ yếu phía dưới, người dùng không coi đó là cách biểu đạt mood chính.
+- UI mood = 6 nút icon nhỏ, chật, là phần kém ấn tượng nhất của form (đã tự kiểm tra bằng render thực tế).
+
+Người dùng yêu cầu: *"xây dựng lại hoàn toàn về cách người dùng tiếp cận mood... linh động theo cảm xúc không phải chỉ áp dụng 6 mood."*
+
+## What Changes
+Chuyển sang **paradigm Hybrid** (đã chốt với người dùng):
+
+1. **Ô cảm xúc tự do là trung tâm** — "Hôm nay bạn muốn chuyến đi thế nào?" — người dùng mô tả cảm xúc bằng ngôn ngữ tự nhiên; AI diễn giải sắc thái (thay vì map enum).
+2. **Chip gợi ý thông minh (seeds)** — vài chip cảm xúc gợi ý (ví dụ: chữa lành, phiêu lưu nhẹ, một mình, gần thiên nhiên) chỉ để *mồi* nhanh: click sẽ chèn/cộng dồn vào ô tự do, **không** phải lựa chọn loại trừ. Seeds khác nhau cho long vs short trip.
+3. **Thanh cường độ cảm xúc (intensity)** — nhẹ → mạnh: gợi ý cho AI mức độ mong muốn tâm trạng đó chi phối lịch trình.
+4. **Backend diễn giải tự do** — `buildPrompt`/`buildShortTripPrompt` xây mô tả mood từ free-text (chính) + seeds + intensity, đưa nguyên văn cho LLM diễn giải, bỏ `moodTextMap`/`shortMoodTextMap` cứng. Free-text vẫn được fence như user-data (chống prompt injection — giữ nguyên `fenceUserText`).
+5. **Mô hình dữ liệu mới, có di trú** — `FormData` thêm mood linh hoạt; giữ tương thích localStorage cũ (trip đã lưu có `moods` enum vẫn đọc được).
+
+### Out of scope
+- Visual/màu sắc của khu mood do change **design-system-overhaul** lo (change này chỉ định nghĩa *cấu trúc & hành vi* mood input; bề mặt thị giác sẽ tiêu thụ design tokens từ change kia).
+- Không đổi schema `ItineraryPlan` trả về.
+
+## Impact
+- Affected: `types.ts` (FormData mood model), `constants.ts` (seeds thay MOOD_OPTIONS/SHORT_TRIP_MOOD_OPTIONS), `components/TripForm.tsx` (UI + state + validation), `services/geminiService.ts` (buildPrompt/buildShortTripPrompt), localStorage migration (saved itineraries), unit tests (geminiService, TripForm), e2e (`create-trip`/`a11y`/`layout` specs gọi mood UI cũ — cần cập nhật selector).
+- **BREAKING (nội bộ)**: `Mood`/`ShortTripMood` enum + `moodTextMap` bị gỡ/đổi vai trò → mọi nơi import phải cập nhật (typecheck sẽ bắt). E2E specs hiện click `button:has-text("...")` mood phải đổi sang ô free-text → cập nhật helpers.
+- Backward-compat: trip đã lưu (`SAVED_ITINERARIES_LS_KEY`) chứa `moods: Mood[]` cũ → migration map enum→câu seed khi đọc, không vỡ.

+# Tasks — Flexible Mood Input (Hybrid)
+
+> NO PUSH. Verify per harness (G001). Human aesthetic sign-off gate at end (như G002/G003).
+
+## US-M1 — Data model + migration shim
+- [ ] `types.ts`: add `MoodInput`; add `FormData.mood: MoodInput`; mark `Mood`/`ShortTripMood` `@deprecated` (kept for migration only); remove `moods`/`shortMoods` from active `FormData`.
+- [ ] Migration shim `migrateMood(old)` for any persisted enum moods → `MoodInput`.
+- [ ] tsc passes (will surface every call site to fix).
+
+## US-M2 — Constants: seeds replace fixed moods
+- [ ] `constants.ts`: add `MOOD_SEEDS`, `SHORT_MOOD_SEEDS`; remove `MOOD_OPTIONS`, `SHORT_TRIP_MOOD_OPTIONS` (and now-unused icon imports).
+- [ ] Grep for stale imports of removed symbols; clean them.
+
+## US-M3 — Prompt building (geminiService)
+- [ ] Add `buildMoodText(mood: MoodInput)`; free-text fenced via `fenceUserText`; intensity → 3-level directive; seeds joined.
+- [ ] Wire into `buildPrompt` (long) + `buildShortTripPrompt` (short); delete `moodTextMap`/`shortMoodTextMap`.
+- [ ] Unit tests: seeds-only / text-only / both / empty(fallback) / 3 intensity levels; assert free-text is fenced; assert no `moodTextMap` references remain.
+
+## US-M4 — TripForm UI (hero mood section)
+- [ ] State `mood: MoodInput`; remove `moods`/`shortMoods`/`moodError`/`moodHints` rigid logic.
+- [ ] Big free-text "Hôm nay bạn muốn chuyến đi thế nào?" textarea + example placeholder.
+- [ ] Seed chips (by tripMode) — `<button aria-pressed>`, toggle into `mood.seeds` + append into textarea; clear selected state.
+- [ ] Intensity slider (nhẹ→mạnh) with text labels + `aria-label` + keyboard support.
+- [ ] Relax validation: submit allowed with empty mood (no `moodError`).
+- [ ] `personalNote` relabelled as "ghi chú/ràng buộc thêm" (distinct from mood), kept.
+
+## US-M5 — Update e2e + helpers
+- [ ] `e2e/_helpers.ts`: replace mood-button interaction with filling the emotion textarea.
+- [ ] Update `create-trip` / `a11y` / `layout` specs accordingly; keep MOCK_ITINERARY path green.
+- [ ] axe: 0 serious/critical on the form (desktop + mobile).
+
+## US-M6 — Verify
+- [ ] `npm run typecheck` + `npm run build` (Node 22) green.
+- [ ] Unit: `npm test` (frontend + worker) green, incl. new mood tests.
+- [ ] `E2E_PORT=5180 CI=1 npm run test:e2e` green (no regression).
+- [ ] Render review of new mood section (desktop + mobile) → human aesthetic sign-off. NOT pushed.

+# Design — Signature Home Experience
+
+## Mood Theme Engine (trái tim của concept)
+
+```ts
+// hooks/useMoodTheme.ts
+export interface MoodTheme {
+  warmth: number;       // 0..1  lạnh→ấm  (hue/temperature)
+  energy: number;       // 0..1  tĩnh→động (particle speed, bloom, motion amplitude)
+  accent: string;       // hsl() suy từ warmth, ghi vào --mood-accent
+  lightColor: string;   // màu ánh sáng scene 3D
+  particleSpeed: number;
+}
+
+// Suy diễn từ MoodInput: keyword heuristics trên text + seeds, scale bởi intensity.
+// vd: 'chữa lành|chậm|nghỉ|thiền|tĩnh' → warmth cao, energy thấp
+//     'phiêu lưu|khám phá|sôi động|mạo hiểm' → energy cao, warmth trung tính-ấm
+//     'lãng mạn' → warmth cao, energy thấp-vừa ; 'văn hoá' → trung tính
+// Không match → theme "cân bằng" mặc định (giống fallback prompt).
+export function deriveMoodTheme(mood: MoodInput): MoodTheme { /* pure, testable */ }
+```
+
+- `MoodThemeProvider` (context) giữ theme hiện tại; cập nhật **debounce ~250ms** khi `MoodInput` đổi (tránh giật khi gõ).
+- Side-effect: ghi `--mood-accent`, `--mood-warmth`, `--mood-energy` lên `:root` (1 lần/đổi, qua `requestAnimationFrame`). Component dùng `var(--mood-accent)` → đổi màu mượt qua CSS `transition` (không re-render React diện rộng).
+- Scene 3D đọc theme qua context (uniforms: light color/intensity, bloom, particle speed).
+- `deriveMoodTheme` là **pure function** → unit test trực tiếp (đây là phần logic có giá trị nhất để test).
+
+## Living ambient home (components/home/AmbientHero.tsx)
+- **Aurora/mesh-gradient "thở"**: 2–3 radial-gradient blob dịch chuyển chậm (CSS `@keyframes`, `transform`/`opacity` only), màu lấy từ `--mood-accent`/`--mood-warmth`. Luôn nằm SAU lớp scrim của text.
+- **Fireflies**: ~24–40 đốm sáng (CSS particles hoặc R3F Points nếu scene đã mở) trôi lơ lửng, tốc độ = `--mood-energy`. Cap số lượng theo `energy`.
+- **Cursor parallax**: lớp nền dịch nhẹ theo con trỏ (`transform: translate`, throttle qua rAF). Tắt trên touch.
+- **Entrance điện ảnh**: stagger reveal headline → 3D world materialize → value chips settle (CSS animation, ≤900ms, chạy 1 lần).
+- **Fallback**: không WebGL → bỏ 3D, giữ aurora+fireflies CSS (vẫn sống động). `prefers-reduced-motion` → tất cả đóng băng ở khung đẹp tĩnh.
+
+## Focal points
+| # | Cái gì | Triển khai |
+|---|---|---|
+| 4 | Theming toàn app | `--mood-accent` consumed bởi button/chip/highlight ở Hero, TripForm, ItineraryDisplay; App truyền theme vào result để banner/accent mang tone mood |
+| 5 | Result hero banner | `TripHeroBanner`: gradient khí quyển (mood warmth) + tiêu đề điểm đến animate-in; CTA accent mood |
+| 6 | Microinteractions | chip ripple (CSS), CTA magnetic (rAF translate nhỏ theo con trỏ), slider intensity → cập nhật `energy` thấy ngay trên scene, counter đếm (IntersectionObserver) |
+| 7 | Kinetic typography | từ khoá headline morph qua list cảm xúc (CSS opacity/translate, interval ~2.4s, dừng khi reduced-motion) |
+
+## a11y & perf (gate cứng)
+- **Contrast**: mood theming chỉ đổi accent/ambient. Text giữ `--color-text` trên scrim đủ mạnh → axe 0 serious/critical (landing/form/result, desktop+mobile). Aurora/fireflies có `aria-hidden`.
+- **Reduced-motion**: `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` tắt aurora drift, fireflies, parallax, kinetic type, magnetic, counter (hiện số cuối ngay). Đây cũng là chế độ `freezeScene` dùng cho e2e/visual.
+- **Perf**: fireflies cap (~≤40); pause khi `document.hidden` (PauseOnHidden G002); debounce theme; throttle parallax/magnetic qua rAF; chỉ `transform`/`opacity`/CSS-var. Lighthouse/visual không regress đáng kể.
+
+## Testing
+- Unit: `deriveMoodTheme` — các cụm cảm xúc tiêu biểu → warmth/energy đúng khoảng; intensity scale; rỗng → balanced. `useMoodTheme` debounce ghi CSS var đúng.
+- e2e: home render + entrance hoàn tất; reduced-motion → trạng thái tĩnh (freezeScene) cho visual baseline ổn định; axe 0 serious/critical home/form/result; mood theming đổi `--mood-accent` (assert computed style) khi điền cảm xúc.
+- Render review: home (idle + sau khi gõ 2–3 mood khác nhau) + result, desktop+mobile → human aesthetic sign-off.
+
+## Sequencing
+D1 (tokens) → M1–M6 (mood input) → **S1–S5 (change này)** → D2–D4 (áp visual) → verify tổng. Engine cần MoodInput + tokens tồn tại trước.

+# Signature Home Experience — Mood-Reactive + Living Ambient
+
+## Why
+Hai change kia (design tokens + flexible mood) giải quyết "hài hoà & linh động" nhưng vẫn **an toàn, thiếu khoảnh khắc wow**, và home còn tĩnh. Người dùng muốn *"điểm nhấn mạnh mẽ hơn"* và *"home sinh động đặc biệt"*.
+
+Cơ hội độc nhất của MoodTrip: app lấy **cảm xúc** làm trung tâm và đã có sẵn **scene 3D** (G002). Thay vì thêm hiệu ứng trang trí rời rạc, biến chính cảm xúc người dùng thành **động cơ thị giác sống** — thứ app du lịch khác không làm được. Đây là điểm nhấn lớn nhất, đồng thời *nối* hai track còn lại thành một trải nghiệm.
+
+## What Changes (đã chốt với người dùng)
+**Flagship — Mood-Reactive + Living Ambient home:**
+1. **Mood Theme Engine** — từ `MoodInput` (text + seeds + intensity) suy ra một "theme cảm xúc" `{ warmth, energy, accent, lightColor, particleSpeed }`; cập nhật real-time (debounced) khi người dùng gõ/chọn. Ghi vào CSS vars (`--mood-*`) + truyền vào scene 3D.
+2. **Living ambient home** — nền aurora/mesh-gradient "thở", đốm sáng trôi (fireflies) parallax theo con trỏ, entrance điện ảnh khi tải. Có fallback CSS khi không có WebGL.
+3. **Scene 3D phản ứng** — ánh sáng/bloom/tốc độ hạt của NatureScene đổi theo mood theme.
+
+**Focal points toàn app (đã chốt — cả 4):**
+4. **Mood-driven theming toàn app** — accent + ambient theo mood xuyên home→form→result; trang kết quả mang "tone" của cảm xúc đã chọn.
+5. **Result hero banner sống động** — mở trang kết quả bằng banner điểm đến (gradient khí quyển + tiêu đề động) trước khi vào chi tiết.
+6. **Microinteractions** — chip ripple, CTA "magnetic", slider cường độ làm scene mạnh/nhẹ tức thì, counter đếm số khi hiện.
+7. **Kinetic mood typography** — từ khoá headline morph qua các cảm xúc.
+
+## Kỷ luật bắt buộc (không thương lượng)
+- **Readability là tối thượng** (đúng phàn nàn gốc): mood theming chỉ đổi accent/ambient/ánh sáng — **không bao giờ** giảm scrim/contrast của text. Aurora luôn nằm SAU scrim. a11y axe 0 serious/critical vẫn là **gate cứng**.
+- **`prefers-reduced-motion: reduce`** → đóng băng mọi animation về trạng thái tĩnh đẹp (đồng thời thoả mãn `freezeScene` của harness + visual baseline ổn định).
+- **Perf 60fps**: số hạt giới hạn; pause khi tab ẩn (tái dùng `PauseOnHidden` G002); reactive update debounce/throttle; chỉ animate `transform`/`opacity`/CSS-var (không layout thrash); degrade graceful khi không WebGL.
+
+## Out of scope
+- Token màu nền/scrim cơ bản: do `design-system-overhaul` (D1) cấp; change này thêm lớp `--mood-*` động phía trên.
+- Cấu trúc mood input: do `flexible-mood-input` (M*) cấp; change này *tiêu thụ* `MoodInput`.
+
+## Impact
+- New: `hooks/useMoodTheme.ts` + `MoodThemeProvider` (context), `components/home/AmbientHero.tsx` (+ helpers), có thể `components/three/*` cho hạt/light uniforms.
+- Affected: `App.tsx` (provider + truyền mood theme vào result), `components/{Hero,TripForm,ItineraryDisplay,TripHeroBanner,ChatCompanion}.tsx`, scene 3D (G002 files), `index.css` (`--mood-*` vars + reduced-motion).
+- Depends on: `flexible-mood-input` (MoodInput) + `design-system-overhaul` (tokens). Thứ tự: D1 → M* → **S*** (change này) → áp visual D2–D4.
+- Risk: perf + a11y. Lưới an toàn: e2e perf-aware (freezeScene), axe gate, visual baseline, render review. NO PUSH tới khi human aesthetic sign-off.

+# Tasks — Signature Home Experience
+
+> Depends on D1 (tokens) + M* (MoodInput). NO PUSH. a11y + reduced-motion + perf là gate cứng. Human aesthetic sign-off cuối.
+
+## US-S1 — Mood Theme Engine
+- [ ] `hooks/useMoodTheme.ts`: pure `deriveMoodTheme(mood)` → `{warmth, energy, accent, lightColor, particleSpeed}` (keyword heuristics + intensity scale; rỗng→balanced).
+- [ ] `MoodThemeProvider` context; debounce ~250ms; ghi `--mood-accent/-warmth/-energy` lên `:root` qua rAF.
+- [ ] Unit: deriveMoodTheme cho các cụm cảm xúc tiêu biểu + intensity + rỗng; debounce ghi CSS var đúng.
+
+## US-S2 — Living ambient home
+- [ ] `components/home/AmbientHero.tsx`: aurora mesh "thở" (transform/opacity only, màu từ `--mood-*`), nằm SAU scrim.
+- [ ] Fireflies (cap ≤40, tốc độ theo `energy`), cursor parallax (rAF throttle, tắt trên touch), entrance stagger ≤900ms.
+- [ ] Fallback không-WebGL (CSS-only) + `prefers-reduced-motion` đóng băng tĩnh.
+- [ ] `aria-hidden` cho lớp trang trí.
+
+## US-S3 — Scene 3D phản ứng mood
+- [ ] NatureScene/PersonalWorld đọc MoodTheme: light color/intensity, bloom, particle speed theo `warmth/energy`.
+- [ ] Giữ PauseOnHidden + WebGL fallback (G002) nguyên vẹn.
+
+## US-S4 — Focal points toàn app
+- [ ] Theming: `--mood-accent` cho button/chip/highlight ở Hero/TripForm/ItineraryDisplay; App truyền theme vào result.
+- [ ] `TripHeroBanner`: gradient khí quyển (warmth) + tiêu đề animate-in + CTA accent mood.
+- [ ] Microinteractions: chip ripple, CTA magnetic, slider intensity→scene energy tức thì, counter (IntersectionObserver).
+- [ ] Kinetic mood typography ở headline (dừng khi reduced-motion).
+
+## US-S5 — Verify
+- [ ] Unit + worker tests xanh (gồm deriveMoodTheme).
+- [ ] e2e: home entrance hoàn tất; reduced-motion→tĩnh (freezeScene); axe 0 serious/critical home/form/result (desktop+mobile); assert `--mood-accent` đổi khi điền cảm xúc khác nhau.
+- [ ] Perf: không regress đáng kể; fireflies cap + pause-on-hidden xác minh.
+- [ ] `npm run typecheck` + `npm run build` (Node 22) xanh; `E2E_PORT=5180 CI=1 npm run test:e2e` xanh.
+- [ ] Render review home (idle + sau gõ 2–3 mood) + result, desktop+mobile → human aesthetic sign-off. NOT pushed.

+# Design — UI Layout & Readability Polish: Acceptance Criteria & E2E
+
+## Definition of Done (every story)
+`tsc` clean · unit pass · `npm run build` OK · no new console errors · mapped E2E specs green · visual baselines
+reviewed + approved · no contrast regression (axe).
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+### L1 — Responsive result layout
+> ⚠️ STRUCTURAL NOTE (review finding): `<TripMap>` is currently rendered by **`App.tsx:574`**, OUTSIDE
+> `ItineraryDisplay` and below it (separate `max-w-3xl` block, outside its error boundary). A real sticky
+> right rail requires the timeline column and the map panel to be **siblings in the same scroll container**.
+> So L1 is a structural refactor (lift `TripMap` into the 2-col container or restructure the App↔ItineraryDisplay
+> seam), NOT a CSS-grid tweak — split into L1-layout + L1-map below. Also handle the existing `sticky top-0`
+> header (two stacked sticky contexts) and call `map.resize()` on breakpoint/layout change.
+- **AC-L1.1** At viewport ≥1024px the result renders **two columns**: timeline (left) + a **sticky** panel
+  (right) with map + vitals/budget + section jump-nav. Asserted: at 1280px the map container's bounding box
+  sits in the right half AND stays in view (position sticky) while the timeline scrolls; `map.resize()` fires
+  on breakpoint change (no clipped/blank tiles).
+- **AC-L1.2** At <768px it remains a single column (no horizontal scroll, no overlap).
+- **AC-L1.3** Total result page scroll height at 1280px is meaningfully shorter than the current single-column
+  baseline (recorded before/after).
+
+### L2 — Readable over 3D
+- **AC-L2.1** Every text block rendered over a 3D scene sits on a scrim/overlay achieving **≥4.5:1** contrast
+  (axe-core, no contrast violations on landing/card-pull/form headers).
+- **AC-L2.2** Card-pull cards have a solid/blurred panel + border (not bare over terrain) and a visible
+  **label/caption** describing each card.
+
+### L3 — Gradient discipline
+- **AC-L3.1** Each screen has **at most one** gradient CTA (the primary action); secondary buttons are
+  solid/ghost. Static check + visual baseline.
+
+### L4 — Result IA / zero-states
+- **AC-L4.1** Above-the-fold on load = hero + vitals + Day 1 (secondary sections below / anchored).
+- **AC-L4.2** A zero metric (e.g. Trending = 0) is reframed ("Không có điểm trending") or omitted, never a bare "0".
+
+### L5 — Hero composition + typography/a11y
+- **AC-L5.1** Landing hero uses an intentional grid balancing headline + 3D; the three value chips are a single
+  coherent strip (not scattered).
+- **AC-L5.2** Body text ≥14px everywhere; axe-core reports **0 serious/critical** contrast/a11y violations on
+  landing, form, result (desktop + mobile).
+
+## E2E mapping (runs on `e2e-harness-upgrade` harness, MOCK_ITINERARY)
+
+| Spec file | Project | Covers | Key assertions |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `e2e/layout.spec.ts` | desktop + `@mobile` | L1.1–L1.3, L4 | at 1280px assert 2-col bounding boxes + map `position:sticky` + scroll-height delta; at 390px single-column, no overflow; Day 1 above fold; no bare "0" metric |
+| `e2e/a11y.spec.ts` | desktop + `@mobile` | L2.1, L5.2 | inject `@axe-core/playwright`; assert 0 serious/critical violations on landing/form/result |
+| `e2e/visual-3d.spec.ts` (extend) | `chromium-visual` | L2.2, L3.1, L5.1 | `freezeScene` then `toHaveScreenshot` for landing/card-pull/form/result desktop+mobile (gradient/scrim/hero baselines) |
+
+**New dep**: `@axe-core/playwright` for automated contrast/a11y assertions (approved in scope).
+**Determinism**: visual specs use `freezeScene` + `chromium-visual` (swiftshader) per the harness contract.
+
+## Notes / decisions
+- Aesthetic items (scrim look, hero composition, gradient feel) are gated by **visual baseline + human
+  sign-off**; CI gates only the measurable proxies (layout boxes, axe, body size, scroll delta).
+- Two-column result reuses the existing `TripMap` component placed in the sticky panel — no map rewrite.
+- **Sequencing FIXED: harness → 3d-experience-polish → THIS change.** Scrims/contrast (L2) and all over-3D
+  visual baselines are tuned over the FINAL post-processed 3D and captured once here — no re-baseline churn.
+- **Card-pull DOM polish belongs here** (moved from 3d-polish): `CardPullOnboarding.tsx` is framer-motion DOM
+  (no three.js). The burst jitter/warm-ambient + card affordance/label (AC-L2.2) are DOM/CSS work.

+# UI Layout & Readability Polish
+
+## Why
+
+A senior design review of the actual rendered screens (landing, card-pull, form, result — desktop + mobile)
+found the product reads as a stretched mobile layout on desktop and lets the 3D backdrop fight the content:
+
+- **Desktop wastes ~40–50% of width**: landing, form, and especially the result screen are a single narrow
+  centred column with large dark voids on both sides; the result is one very long vertical scroll that
+  ignores the wide viewport (no sticky map, no two-column split).
+- **3D backgrounds hurt readability**: the card-pull's three "constellation" cards are low-contrast floating
+  over busy terrain (and lack labels for what they represent); the form/result let terrain bleed behind the
+  header as visual noise.
+- **First-screen overload + weak zero-states** on the result (everything stacked despite tabs; "Trending: 0"
+  shown as a bare metric).
+- **Gradient overuse** (teal→cyan on every CTA + banner) dilutes the primary action.
+- **Contrast/a11y risk** for muted text on dark and any text over 3D (WCAG AA), plus body text that should be
+  ≥14px.
+
+These are visual/UX quality gaps, not bugs — verified against Refactoring UI / Apple HIG / WCAG 2.2 on real
+screenshots.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- **Responsive result layout**: at ≥1024px, split into two columns — left = day timeline (scrolls), right =
+  **sticky** map + vitals/budget summary + section jump-nav. Reduces scroll length and uses the viewport.
+- **Readable-over-3D**: add a scrim/overlay (radial darken) behind content rendered over 3D; calm/blur the 3D
+  when it is a reading backdrop; raise card-pull card contrast (solid/blurred panel + border).
+- **Card-pull affordance**: add a label/caption + light preview to each card; "what happens" microcopy.
+- **Gradient discipline**: reserve the signature gradient for the single primary action per screen; secondary
+  actions become solid/ghost.
+- **Result IA**: lead with hero + vitals + Day 1; lazy/anchor secondary sections; reframe or omit zero metrics.
+- **Hero composition**: intentional grid balancing headline + 3D; consolidate the floating value chips
+  (AI-Powered / 3D / 100+) into a coherent trust strip.
+- **A11y/typography**: body text ≥14px, all text ≥4.5:1 contrast (incl. over 3D scrims).
+
+## Impact
+
+- Affected code: `components/ItineraryDisplay.tsx`, `TripDayStoryboard.tsx`, `TripMap.tsx`, `Hero.tsx`,
+  `IntroScreen.tsx`, `CardPullOnboarding.tsx`, `TripForm.tsx`, `index.css` (tokens/scrim utility).
+- Risk lane: **medium** — broad visual change → gated by **visual-regression baselines + reviewer sign-off**
+  (aesthetic) plus measurable AC (breakpoint layout, contrast, body size).
+- Runs on the harness in `e2e-harness-upgrade` (must land first). Pairs with `3d-experience-polish` (the 3D
+  scrim/readability items here assume that change's lighting/post-processing).
+- No data/API change. Frontend-only.

+# Tasks — UI Layout & Readability Polish
+
+## 1. Responsive result layout (L1)
+- [ ] 1.1a (L1-map relocation) Decide the 2-col container owner: lift `<TripMap>` (currently `App.tsx:574`) into `ItineraryDisplay`/a shared layout so timeline + map are siblings in ONE scroll container; move the share/anti-itinerary/PersonalWorldBadge cluster accordingly
+- [ ] 1.1b (L1-layout) 2-column grid at ≥lg — timeline (left) + sticky panel (right: map + vitals/budget + jump-nav); reconcile with existing `sticky top-0` header; `map.resize()` on breakpoint
+- [ ] 1.2 Single-column < md; no overflow/overlap; verify tap targets ≥44px on mobile
+- [ ] 1.3 Record scroll-height before/after at 1280px (assert reduction)
+
+## 2. Readable over 3D (L2)
+- [ ] 2.1 Reusable scrim utility (radial/linear darken) in `index.css`; apply behind text over 3D (landing/card-pull/form header)
+- [ ] 2.2 CardPull (framer-motion DOM): cards → solid/blurred panel + border + label/caption per card; burst jitter (±angle/radius/color) + warm ambient blob (moved from 3d-polish — this is DOM, not 3D)
+
+## 3. Gradient discipline (L3)
+- [ ] 3.1 Audit CTAs; one gradient primary per screen; secondaries → solid/ghost button variants
+
+## 4. Result IA / zero-states (L4)
+- [ ] 4.1 Order: hero + vitals + Day 1 above fold; anchor/lazy secondary sections
+- [ ] 4.2 Reframe/omit zero metrics (Trending = 0)
+
+## 5. Hero + typography/a11y (L5)
+- [ ] 5.1 Landing hero intentional grid; consolidate value chips into one strip
+- [ ] 5.2 Enforce body ≥14px; fix contrast until axe 0 serious/critical
+
+## 6. Validation (per `e2e-harness-upgrade`)
+- [ ] 6.1 `npm run typecheck` clean; build OK
+- [ ] 6.2 Add dep `@axe-core/playwright`; `e2e/a11y.spec.ts` → 0 serious/critical
+- [ ] 6.3 `e2e/layout.spec.ts` → 2-col + sticky + scroll-delta (desktop) / single-col (mobile)
+- [ ] 6.4 Extend `e2e/visual-3d.spec.ts` baselines (after human aesthetic sign-off)
+- [ ] 6.5 Review gate (fresh reviewer) — per-AC evidence; aesthetic items reference approved baselines
