# Project State

## Project Reference

## Accumulated Context

### Decisions

Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md Key Decisions table.
Recent decisions affecting current work:

- [Init]: Customize shadcn via CSS variables only — never edit `src/components/ui/` source files directly
- [Init]: `lib/palette.ts` as single source of truth for all category-to-color mappings — no hex values in component files
- [Init]: Extract `InlineEditCell.tsx` at start of Phase 1 before any visual work touches the three duplicated components
- [Phase 01-design-token-foundation]: oklch pastel tokens replace zero-chroma neutrals in :root; --card/--popover remain pure white (locked)
- [Phase 01-design-token-foundation]: --success and --warning semantic tokens added to :root and @theme inline; chart tokens synced with palette.ts base colors
- [Phase 01-design-token-foundation]: palette.ts is single source of truth for 7 category types x 3 shades; amountColorClass returns text-success/text-warning/text-destructive
- [Phase 01-design-token-foundation]: InlineEditCell wraps TableCell internally — callers own row structure, component owns display/edit state
- [Phase 01-design-token-foundation]: amountColorClass() is the only allowed way to color amount cells — raw text-green/text-red classes banned in dashboard components
- [Phase 01-design-token-foundation]: Chart Cell fills use palette[type].base keyed by categoryType — charts and card headers share the same color token
- [Phase 02-layout-and-brand-identity]: Gradient background uses palette.saving/bill/investment light shades at 135deg for subtle tinted-paper feel on auth screens
- [Phase 02-layout-and-brand-identity]: Alert destructive replaces plain error <p> — semantic role=alert improves a11y and enables test assertions

### Pending Todos

None yet.

### Blockers/Concerns

- [Phase 4]: Confirm `preferred_locale` field is available on the settings API response before implementing FIX-01
- [Phase 3]: Verify backend delete cascade behavior for categories with associated budget items before writing confirmation dialog copy
