## Component Specifications
### 1. Market/Currency Selector (Settings Page)
Evolves the existing currency pill toggle. Same visual pattern, updated copy.
**Layout:**
```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Market & Currency │
│ Sets your market region and currency for price display │
│ │
│ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ [$ USD] [€ EUR] [£ GBP] [¥ JPY] [CA$ CAD] [A$ AUD] │ │
│ └────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
│ │
│ ── separator ── │
│ │
│ Show Converted Prices [toggle]│
│ Display approximate conversions when local price │
│ is not available │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Specs:**
- Pill toggle: same `bg-gray-100 rounded-full` container, same button styles as existing
- Selected pill: `bg-white text-gray-700 shadow-sm font-medium`
- Unselected pill: `text-gray-400 hover:text-gray-600`
- New toggle for "Show Converted Prices": standard toggle switch, `bg-gray-200` off / `bg-blue-500` on
- Section heading: `text-sm font-medium text-gray-900`
- Description: `text-xs text-gray-500 mt-0.5`
### 2. Auto-Suggestion Banner (First Visit)
Shown once when no currency preference is set. Appears above the settings card.
**Layout:**
```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🌍 Based on your location, we suggest EUR (€) [Use €] │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Specs:**
- Container: `bg-blue-50 border border-blue-100 rounded-xl px-4 py-3`
- Text: `text-sm text-blue-700`
- Button: `text-sm font-medium text-blue-700 hover:text-blue-800 underline`
- Globe icon: Lucide `globe` icon, 16px, `text-blue-500`
- Dismissible: clicking "Use €" sets the setting and hides the banner
### 3. Dual Price Display Format (D-14)
When a price is converted from another currency, display both.
**Inline format:** `€2,000 (~$2,160)`
**Specs:**
- Source price: `text-sm font-medium text-gray-900` (existing style)
- Converted price: `text-xs text-gray-400 ml-1`
- Tilde prefix: included in converted text as literal `~`
- No line break between source and converted — inline on same line
- If no conversion needed (local price exists): show only the local price, no parenthetical
### 4. Global Item Detail — Market Prices Section (D-17)
New section on the catalog item detail page, below existing specs.
**Layout:**
```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Price │
│ │
│ €2,199.00 MSRP (EU) │
│ │
│ Community (DE): €1,680 median (14 reports) │
│ │
│ ▸ Other Markets │
│ $2,499.00 MSRP (US) │
│ £1,999.00 MSRP (UK) │
│ Community (US): $2,100 median (8 reports) │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Specs:**
- Section heading: `text-sm font-medium text-gray-900`
- Primary market price: `text-lg font-semibold text-gray-900`
- Market label: `text-xs text-gray-500 ml-2`
- Community line: `text-sm text-gray-700`
- Report count: `text-xs text-gray-400` in parentheses
- "Other Markets" collapsible: `text-sm text-gray-500 cursor-pointer hover:text-gray-700`
- Chevron: Lucide `chevron-right` (rotates to `chevron-down` when expanded), 14px
- Collapsed by default
- Inner market rows: same styling, indented with `pl-4`
### 5. Comparison Table — Currency Normalization (D-20)
Extends existing ComparisonTable component.
**Existing behavior preserved.** Additional specs:
- When candidate price is in a different currency than user's preference, show dual format in the price cell
- Converted prices show `~` prefix: `~$2,160` in `text-gray-400`
- Best-price highlighting (existing `bg-green-50`) still applies after conversion
- New "Found Price" row in comparison table for candidate research prices (D-06)
### 6. Candidate "Price I Found" Field (D-06, D-07)
New fields in the candidate edit form.
**Layout:**
```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Price I Found │
│ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐│
│ │ $ _____.__ │ │ USD ▾ │ │ 2026-04-13 ││
│ └──────────────┘ └──────────────┘ └──────────────────┘│
│ Research price — when you found it at this price │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Specs:**
- Field row: three inputs inline (`flex gap-2`)
- Price input: standard number input matching existing `priceCents` field style
- Currency select: small dropdown matching existing form select style, `text-xs`
- Date input: standard date input, `text-xs`
- Helper text: `text-xs text-gray-400 mt-1`
