## Milestone: v1.0 — UI/UX Overhaul
|
||||
|
||||
**Shipped:** 2026-03-24
|
||||
**Phases:** 4 | **Plans:** 10 | **Tasks:** 19
|
||||
|
||||
### What Was Built
|
||||
- OKLCH design system with two-tier category colors and semantic budget status tokens
|
||||
- Three chart types (expense donut, income bar, spend horizontal bar) with CSS variable theming
|
||||
- URL-based month navigation with MonthNavigator dropdown
|
||||
- Collapsible per-category dashboard sections with direction-aware diff and CSS animations
|
||||
- PageShell, StatCard, SummaryStrip shared components for consistent page structure
|
||||
- All 9 pages upgraded with consistent design, skeleton loading, and full i18n
|
||||
|
||||
### What Worked
|
||||
- 4-phase dependency chain (foundation → charts → collapsibles → full-app) prevented rework
|
||||
- Research-first approach documented Recharts v3 patch and OKLCH patterns before planning
|
||||
- Pure presentational components (CategorySection, charts) made integration straightforward
|
||||
- Two-tier color approach (dark text, light fills) solved WCAG contrast without sacrificing aesthetics
|
||||
|
||||
### What Was Inefficient
|
||||
- Plan 02-01 SUMMARY.md was never written, requiring retroactive artifact creation
|
||||
- Roadmap progress table fell out of sync (phases 3-4 completed but not marked in roadmap)
|
||||
- Divergence between local and remote branches required hard reset — lost v1.1 milestone work
|
||||
|
||||
### Patterns Established
|
||||
- OKLCH two-tier pattern: ~0.55 lightness for text (WCAG), ~0.65-0.70 for chart fills
|
||||
- PageShell + skeleton pattern: every page gets PageShell header and matching skeleton
|
||||
- Direction-aware diff: SPENDING_TYPES array + isSpendingType() covers all 6 category types
|
||||
- Controlled collapsible state: parent owns open/close for smart defaults and month-change reset
|
||||
- Auth card accent: border-t-4 border-t-primary + favicon logo
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Lessons
|
||||
1. Always verify remote state before starting new local work to avoid divergence
|
||||
2. Summary artifacts must be written immediately — retroactive creation loses context
|
||||
3. Roadmap progress tracking should be verified at milestone completion, not assumed correct
|
||||
|
||||
### Cost Observations
|
||||
- Model mix: 100% quality profile (opus executors, sonnet verifiers)
|
||||
- Sessions: ~4-5 across the milestone
|
||||
- Notable: 10 plans across 4 phases completed in ~20 days with minimal rework

## Cross-Milestone Trends
|
||||
|
||||
### Process Evolution
|
||||
|
||||
| Milestone | Phases | Plans | Key Change |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|-------|------------|
|
||||
| v1.0 UI/UX | 4 | 10 | First GSD milestone on this project; research-first approach |
|
||||
|
||||
### Top Lessons (Verified Across Milestones)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Research before planning eliminates mid-phase surprises
|
||||
2. Foundation-first phasing (tokens → components → integration) prevents rework
