## Current Test

[testing complete]

## Tests

### 1. Images use fit-within instead of crop
expected: Browse any page with item/catalog cards. Images should fit inside the frame without cropping — full image visible, no parts cut off.
result: pass

### 2. Dominant color background fill
expected: Where an image doesn't fill the entire frame, the empty space is filled with a color extracted from the image (not white or gray).
result: pass

### 3. Crop editor on item detail
expected: Open an item that has an image. In edit mode, you should see a crop icon button next to the trash icon, positioned as an overlay on the image. Clicking it opens a crop editor with zoom slider.
result: issue
reported: "the button is there the framing just doesn't work i think the framing and the fit within might be fighting over it"
severity: major

### 4. Crop editor on image upload
expected: Upload a new image to an item. After the upload completes, a crop editor should appear automatically.
result: issue
reported: "crop editor opens on upload correctly, but after cropping the cropped image isn't shown in the edit state always — after clicking save it is shown correctly"
severity: minor

### 5. Crop settings persist
expected: Adjust the crop on an item image, save it. Navigate away and come back — image displays with saved crop settings.
result: pass

### 6. Consistency across surfaces
expected: All image surfaces use the same fit-within + dominant color treatment.
result: pass
