# Changelog

All notable changes to the Elayne WordPress theme will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## [Unreleased]

## [4.0.2] - 2026-05-15

### Fixed

**Theme Description Ampersands:**
- Replaced `&` with `and` in theme description for industry verticals (spa and wellness, food and beverage) to ensure compatibility with WordPress.org theme guidelines and XML parsing

**WooCommerce Text Domain:**
- Corrected text domain for "Awaiting product image" placeholder string in `product-image.php` from `woocommerce` to `elayne`
- Ensures the string is translatable within the theme's own translation files",

## [4.0.1] - 2026-05-15

### Changed

**WooCommerce Featured Products Renamed to Signature Pieces:**
- Renamed pattern file `woo-featured-products.php` → `woo-signature-pieces.php`
- Pattern slug changed from `elayne/woo-featured-products` to `elayne/woo-signature-pieces`
- Update any pages or templates that reference the old slug

### Fixed

**WooCommerce Quick Add Button Coverage:**
- Changed `margin-block-start: 0` to `margin: 0` on the product collection quick-add button
- Previously a 12px strip of the product image remained visible below the button on hover (caused by `wp-block-button` default `margin-bottom: 12px`)
- Button now fully covers the image bottom edge during the slide-up reveal animation

**WooCommerce Product Category Terms Spacing:**
- Removed `padding-top: 1rem` from `.wp-block-post-terms` inside product collections (set to `0`)
- Terms now sit flush directly under the product image with no breathing strip

**WooCommerce Store Pattern Fixes:**
- Fixed block attribute errors in `woo-signature-pieces` pattern
- Fixed JSON/HTML font-size desync in WooCommerce store patterns — aligns inline `fontSize` values with theme.json presets
- Fixed `woo-hero` block markup to pass structural validation

### Technical

**Pattern Block Comment Whitespace Cleanup (Pass 1 Validator):**
- Removed blank lines between the PHP closing tag (`?>`) and the first WordPress block comment across 15+ pattern files
- Eliminates whitespace that can cause WordPress block validation mismatches
- Affected patterns: agency-services-showcase, author-box, banner-announcement-bar, banner-page-header-accent, banner-page-header-slanted, banner-page-header, blog-post-columns-fandb, blog-post-columns-landscape, blog-post-columns-portrait, blog-post-list, card-call-to-action, career-opportunities, and others

**Pattern HTML Closing Tag Whitespace Cleanup:**
- Removed stray whitespace between HTML element closing tags and adjacent WordPress block comments across all 142 pattern files
- Prevents block serialization mismatches caused by unexpected whitespace nodes

**Pattern `backgroundColor` Attribute Order Fix:**
- Moved `backgroundColor` attribute after `style` and before `layout` in the block JSON for multiple patterns
- Corrects attribute ordering to match WordPress canonical serialization and prevent block validation warnings
- Affected patterns: agency-services-showcase, banner-page-header-accent, banner-page-header

**Dependency Updates:**
- Updated `imagewize/pt-cli` from v2.2.3 to v2.3.1
- Updated `symfony/console` from v7.4.9 to v7.4.11
- Updated `symfony/string` from v8.0.8 to v8.0.11

**Developer Tooling:**
- Removed `python` and `python3` from the vibe config denylist, allowing Python scripts in the development environment
- Updated CLAUDE.md pattern validator docs: clarified dry-run label, documented `--log` flag for writing audit logs, added note that `summary.md` is git-tracked while `*.php.diff` files are gitignored",

## [4.0.0] - 2026-05-12

### Fixed

- Replace `register_block_type()` calls with `render_block` filter pattern to comply with WP.org theme guidelines (plugin-territory rule); product attributes table and shipping/returns content now use `core/group` placeholders with specific classNames
- Improve skip link focus state visibility: high-contrast white outline with black box-shadow ring, meeting WCAG focus indicator requirements

### Added

**WooCommerce Store Integration:**
- Full WooCommerce subsite support at `/store/` with shop, category archive, and single product page templates
- Three-tier implementation strategy: use plugin patterns as-is (Tier 1), style with CSS (Tier 2), custom theme patterns only if needed (Tier 3)
- WooCommerce plugin patterns explicitly exempted from Elayne compliance rules
- Verified filter block taxonomy IDs documented (Leather Colour = 1, Style = 2, Features = 3)

**WooCommerce Filter Sidebar Enhancements:**
- `product-filter-rating` added to base `archive-product.html` and `taxonomy-product_cat.html` sidebars — star rating filter via checkbox list
- `product-filter-taxonomy` (Categories) added to `taxonomy-product_cat.html` sidebar — lets shoppers switch between product categories from within a category archive
- `archive-product-store.html` — demo-store-specific shop archive template with three pre-wired attribute filters: Leather Colour (chip display, `attributeId:1`), Style (checkbox list, `attributeId:2`), Features (checkbox list, `attributeId:3`); pushed to store DB via rebuild script
- `taxonomy-product_cat-store.html` — matching demo-store-specific category archive template with the same three attribute filters

**Mobile Filter Drawer (`category-filter-drawer.js`):**
- Touch-friendly slide-in sidebar drawer for shop filters on mobile
- Backdrop overlay, close button, and Apply button injected dynamically
- "Clear filters" link auto-injected when active `filter_*` URL params are detected
- Escape key and backdrop click both dismiss the drawer
- Accessibility: `aria-expanded` toggled on filter trigger button
- `elayne-clear-filters-btn` CSS styles for the sidebar "× Clear filters" link (uppercase, orange brand colour, hover to primary)

**Product Page Interactivity (`woocommerce-product-page.js`):**
- Custom gallery thumbnail switcher synced across desktop and mobile gallery sections
- Colour swatch selector with active-state tracking and selected label update
- Style option picker with unavailable-state exclusion
- Engraving option toggle (selected/deselected)
- Accordion tabs: open/close with `+`/`−` icon and single-open constraint
- Wishlist button toggle
- Custom product gallery lightbox: click any gallery image to open a full-screen overlay with prev/next navigation, keyboard (Escape / arrow keys) support, and backdrop-click to close; appended to `<body>` to avoid stacking-context issues

**New Block Styles:**
- `elayne-avatar-circle` — 44 × 44 px circular container for testimonial avatars
- `elayne-category-hero` — full two-column hero with charcoal grid-pattern background, breadcrumb, description, and visual area; includes companion meta bar style

**New Fonts:**
- Jost variable font (regular + italic WOFF2) added to `assets/fonts/store/` for store pages

**Store Product Placeholder Images (CC0):**
- Ten AI-generated product placeholder images (`product-placeholder-I.webp` through `product-placeholder-X.webp`) added to `patterns/images/store/`
- Generated by Claude Code; released under CC0 1.0 Universal (Public Domain) — no attribution required
- Used across WooCommerce product archive and single product patterns as neutral demo imagery

**Pattern Validation — Three-Pass Workflow:**
- Pass 1: Gutenberg structural validator (`wp pattern validate --fix`) via Trellis VM
- Pass 2: pt-cli compliance checker (`composer check` / `pt-cli check`) on host
- Pass 3: HTML template checker (`pt-cli check:templates`) for `.html` template and part files; catches WooCommerce filter block wrapper drift, `taxQuery:{}` vs `[]`, missing `"theme"` on `wp:template-part`

**New Translation Helper:**
- `wp_kses_post( __( '...', 'elayne' ) )` documented for text containing inline HTML (`<strong>`, `<br>`, `<a>`)

### Changed

**Template: `front-page.html` Removed:**
- Removed `front-page.html` template — it caused content override issues on other multisite subsites
- Homepage is now assigned via the WordPress page editor; `home.html` covers blog index and static homepage

**Rebuild Script (`rebuild-demo-subsite.php`):**
- `store` subsite extended with `$templates` map entry — pushes `archive-product-store.html` and `taxonomy-product_cat-store.html` to the store subsite DB on each rebuild run; idempotent (attributes, categories, and products skipped if already present)

**Vertical Workflow — pt-cli Scaffold Commands:**
- Three scaffold options documented: Option A (layout-based via `composer layout:create`), Option B (WooCommerce template via `composer pattern:create`), Option C (shell-only editor-first)
- Entry point is always pt-cli scaffold — never write block JSON from scratch
- Read validation-guard snippets from `vendor/imagewize/pt-cli/snippets/` before editing cover, columns, button, or heading blocks

**Spacing & Font Scale Documentation:**
- Exact clamp values for all spacing presets (`2-x-small` through `x-large`) added to reference tables
- Exact max values for all font-size presets (`x-small` through `xx-large`) added
- Warning: `xx-small` does NOT exist — use `2-x-small` or `x-small`
- Pill/badge padding rule: always `x-small` (vertical) + `small` (horizontal); never `medium`

### Fixed

**Block Validation Rules (Critical):**
- Whitespace-strict rule: NEVER add tabs, newlines, or spaces between an opening/closing `<div>` and adjacent `<!-- wp:... -->` comments — causes block serialization mismatch
- Button `fontSize`: `wp:button` does NOT support root-level `fontSize` — must use `"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"var:preset|font-size|base"}}`
- SVG images: NEVER add `width`/`height` attributes to `<img>` inside `wp:image` for theme-bundled SVGs (no media ID means WP cannot validate dimensions)
- `blockGap` inline gap behavior: `constrained`/`default` groups must NOT have inline `gap`; flex groups must have it; columns blocks never have inline gap
- `metadata.name` should only appear on the outermost (root) block of a pattern file
- `fontSize`/`fontFamily` as root-level block attributes generate CSS classes, not inline styles

**Unicode in PHP Strings:**
- Documented that PHP single-quoted strings do NOT process `\u` escapes — always use actual UTF-8 characters or double-quoted strings with `"\u{XXXX}"`

**WooCommerce Pattern Pitfalls:**
- `product-title` inside `product-template` must use `post-title` with `__woocommerceNamespace`
- Never add `__woocommerceNamespace` to native WC blocks (product-image, product-price, etc.)
- `product-collection` handles its own pagination — never use standalone `query-pagination`
- `taxQuery` must be `[]` (array), not `{}` (object)

**WooCommerce Product Display:**
- Product button set to full width (`width: 100%`, centred alignment) in `archive-product.html`, `archive-product-spa.html`, and `taxonomy-product_cat.html`
- Product image CSS selector specificity raised to `(0,3,0)` (`.product-collection .wc-block-product .product-image`) to beat WooCommerce's default `aspect-ratio: 1/1` rule at `(0,2,0)` — preserves the custom `3/4` portrait ratio

### Technical

**Vibe CLI Config:**
- Switched active model from `devstral-2` to `mistral-medium-3.5` with `thinking: "high"`
- Updated temperature (0.2 → 1.0) and pricing to match new model
- Bash tool allowlist sorted alphabetically; added `file`, `find` entries

**Documentation:**
- `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, and `.vibe/prompts/vibe.md` all updated with WooCommerce subsite URLs, filter block IDs, three-tier strategy, three-pass validation workflow, and critical block rules
- CI note: GitHub Actions runs Pass 2 automatically on every PR; Passes 1 and 3 are local-only

## [3.9.1] - 2026-04-24

### Added

**Nail Salon "Why Choose Us" Real Photo:**
- Added `why-nail-salon.webp` — a CC0-licensed photo (StockSnap.io / Freestocks.org) showing hands receiving a nail treatment
- Replaces the previous placeholder text block in the nail salon Why Us pattern image column
- Image credited and documented in `readme.txt` under image attributions

### Changed

**Nail Salon Why Us Pattern — Image Column:**
- Replaced the static placeholder group (with centered "Salon Photo" text, large padding, and constrained layout) with a real `wp:image` block inside a borderless default-layout group
- Removed explicit padding and `blockGap` from the image container group; border and border-radius are retained
- Layout type changed from `constrained` to `default` so the image fills the container naturally

### Technical

**`overlay-grid-wrap` Image Rendering CSS:**
- Added `overflow: hidden` on the first child of `.overlay-grid-wrap` when it contains a `wp-block-image`, ensuring the image is clipped to the group's `border-radius`
- Reset `margin: 0` on `.wp-block-image` inside the first child to prevent unintended spacing
- Set `width: 100%`, `height: 100%`, `object-fit: cover`, and `display: block` on the `img` element so the photo fills the overlay grid cell without distortion",

## [3.9.0] - 2026-04-13

### Added

**Nail Salon Industry Vertical — 7 New Patterns:**
- `nail-salon-hero.php` — Split hero with cover block photo, floating stats badge, and rose-toned pill CTA
- `nail-salon-services.php` — Service card grid (gel nails, acrylics, pedicure, nail art, paraffin) with icon badges and pricing
- `nail-salon-stats-bar.php` — Full-width stats strip with happy clients, 5-star reviews, years experience, and nail art designs counters
- `nail-salon-why-us.php` — Why-choose-us section with 4 benefit columns (icons, headings, descriptions)
- `nail-salon-testimonials.php` — Client testimonials grid with star ratings, names, and treatment context
- `nail-salon-cta.php` — Booking CTA with rose background, headline, and dual-button layout
- `nail-salon-contact.php` — Contact section with address, phone, email, hours, and embedded map placeholder

**Nail Salon Style Variation:**
- `styles/nail-salon.json` — Rose and blush pink palette with Cormorant Garamond headings and Open Sans body; full design system including gradients, duotone filters, and border presets
- `assets/styles/nail-salon-variation.css` — Component CSS scoped to `.style-variation-nail-salon`; card overflow, floating badge overrides, hero cover block clip
- Block styles registered: `nail-salon-avatar` (circular portrait), `nail-salon-badge` (rose pill label), `nail-salon-years-badge` (large accent ring badge)
- Dedicated CSS: `assets/styles/block-styles/nail-salon-avatar.css`, `nail-salon-badge.css`, `nail-salon-years-badge.css`

**Nail Salon Assets — 11 SVG Icons:**
- `icon-nail-polish.svg`, `icon-acrylic.svg`, `icon-gel-nails.svg`, `icon-nail-art.svg`, `icon-pedicure.svg`, `icon-paraffin.svg` — service icons
- `icon-5-stars.svg`, `icon-star-rose.svg`, `icon-check-rose.svg`, `icon-badge-rose.svg` — quality/badge icons
- `icon-phone-rose.svg`, `icon-clock-rose.svg`, `icon-email-rose.svg`, `icon-location-rose.svg`, `icon-arrow-right-white.svg` — contact/UI icons

**Hero Photos (CC0):**

- `patterns/images/plumbing/hero-plumbing.webp` — Gold plumbing taps on tiled wall (StockSnap.io / Studio 7042, CC0)

### Fixed

**Nail Salon Hero — Cover Block Replacement:**
- Replaced placeholder SVG image block in `nail-salon-hero.php` with a `wp:cover` block using `hero-nail-salon.webp`; image fills the card with `object-fit: cover` and clips to the card's border-radius via `overflow: hidden`

**Plumbing Hero — Cover Block Replacement:**
- Replaced placeholder icon group in `plumbing-hero.php` with a `wp:cover` block using `hero-plumbing.webp`; same cover+clip approach as the nail salon hero
- Removed stale `.plumbing-hero-placeholder-icon` opacity rule from `plumbing-variation.css`; added `.plumbing-hero-card { overflow: hidden; padding: 0 }` for correct cover block clipping

**Overlay Grid — Cover Block Positioning:**
- Extended `.overlay-grid-wrap` grid rule in `style.css` to also target `wp:cover` children (`.overlay-grid-wrap > .wp-block-cover`), ensuring floating badges layer correctly over cover-block hero images

### Technical

**Safari Scrollbar Fix — Extracted to Dedicated Editor Stylesheet:**
- Moved Safari scrollbar visibility CSS (`::-webkit-scrollbar` rules) out of `style.css` into a new dedicated file `assets/css/editor.css`
- Registered `assets/css/editor.css` via `add_editor_style()` in `functions.php`
- Keeps `style.css` focused on frontend styles; editor-only fixes now live in their own stylesheet
- No visual change — scrollbar appearance in the Gutenberg editor remains identical

## [3.8.0] - 2026-04-07

### Added

**Single Post Templates:**
- Added `single-centered.html` template for centered single post layout, using the `elayne/template-post-centered` pattern
- Added `single-wide.html` template for wide single post layout, using the `elayne/template-post-wide` pattern

### Fixed

**Responsive Table Overflow in Post Content:**
- Tables inside post content (`wp-block-post-content`) now scroll horizontally on small screens instead of breaking the layout
- Applied `overflow-x: auto` and `display: block` to the table wrapper
- Set `min-width: 600px` on tables to preserve column structure on narrow viewports",

## [3.7.4] - 2026-03-29

### Fixed

**Blog Post Columns Pattern - Query Inheritance:**
- Set `inherit` to `true` in the query block of the blog-post-columns pattern
- Ensures the query correctly inherits context (e.g., category, tag, author) from the current page/archive
- Fixes cases where the pattern ignored URL query parameters on archive and taxonomy pages",

## [3.7.3] - 2026-03-26

### Fixed

**Post Author Meta Vertical Alignment:**
- Added `verticalAlignment: center` to author meta flex container to properly align author name, separator, and date on the same baseline

- Removed default bottom margin from `.wp-block-post-author__name` to prevent vertical misalignment with adjacent meta elements (separator dot, post date)",

## [3.7.2] - 2026-03-26

### Changed

**Publicist Style: Body Typography**
- Increased global line height from `1.6` to `1.75` for improved editorial readability
- Added default `blockGap` of `1.75rem` to create consistent vertical rhythm between blocks

**Publicist Style: Heading Spacing**
- Added explicit top/bottom margins to `h2` (`2rem` top, `0.75rem` bottom) for clearer section separation
- Added explicit top/bottom margins to `h3` (`1.5rem` top, `0.5rem` bottom) for improved content hierarchy

**Publicist Style: Paragraph Spacing**
- Added block-level paragraph margin (`0` top, `1em` bottom) to ensure consistent spacing between paragraphs across all editorial content",

### Changed

**Pattern Eyebrow Refactor — Replaced Inline Styles with Block Style:**
- Converted all eyebrow/label paragraphs across 9 patterns from manual inline typography attributes to the new `is-style-eyebrow` class
- Affected patterns: `event-upcoming-grid`, `fandb-events-grid`, `image-card-grid`, `overlapping-feature-columns`, `overlapping-feature-columns-reversed`, `portfolio-grid-masonry`, `spa-home-hero`, `stats-list`, `stats-showcase`
- Removes duplicated inline `fontWeight`, `letterSpacing`, `textTransform`, `fontStyle` declarations in favour of the centralised block style

**Pattern Font Size Standardization — Replace Hard-coded Pixel Values:**
- `portfolio-grid-masonry`: Replaced hard-coded pixel font sizes (`11px`, `12px`, `14px`, `22px`) with theme preset sizes (`x-small`, `xx-small`, `medium`) on eyebrow labels, filter pills, card titles, and tag badges
- Filter pill and tag badge font sizes now use `x-small` / `xx-small` presets instead of literal `14px` / `12px` values
- Portfolio card heading font size changed from inline `22px` to `medium` preset

**Pattern Font Family Cleanup — Remove Hardcoded Cormorant Garamond:**
- Removed explicit `cormorant-garamond` font family from headings in `overlapping-feature-columns`, `overlapping-feature-columns-reversed`, `spa-home-hero`, and `four-column-wellness-posts` patterns
- Headings now inherit the theme default heading font, improving maintainability and allowing per-site font customisation without overriding pattern markup",

## [3.7.0] - 2026-03-24

### Changed

**Style Variations Consolidated (10 → 6):**

- Left column: business details with phone, email, address, and hours using SVG icons
- Right column: card with Contact Form 7 integration when plugin is active; falls back to static placeholder fields when CF7 is inactive
- Uses theme color tokens and spacing presets for full style-variation compatibility

**Contact Form 7 Integration — Plumbing Contact Pattern:**
- `plumbing-contact.php` now conditionally renders a live CF7 form when the plugin is active
- Falls back gracefully to the existing static placeholder fields when CF7 is not installed

**Contact Form 7 Global Styles (`style.css`):**
- Full CSS styling for CF7 forms in the generic light-card context
- Flex column layout with consistent `--wp--preset--spacing--medium` gap between fields
- Labels: uppercase, 600-weight, `x-small` font size using `main-accent` color token
- Inputs and textarea: `secondary` background, `border-light` border, focus highlight with `primary` color

- Validation error tips, invalid field highlight, and success/error response bar styling
- Hidden-fields container suppressed via `display: none`

**Contact Form 7 Plumbing-Specific Styles (`plumbing-variation.css`):**
- Dark-card overrides for CF7 forms inside the plumbing style variation
- Inputs use `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` background with `#1e3558` border and white text
- Focus highlight uses amber (`#E67E22`) to match the plumbing palette
- Submit button in amber (`#E67E22`) with pill border-radius
- Validation and response bar colors adjusted for dark backgrounds (light-red errors, green success)

### Technical

- Removed `styles/gray-gold.json`, `styles/denim-copper.json`, and `styles/forest-sage.json` style variation files
- Industry-specific content description updated to include "publishing" alongside spa, legal, food & beverage, and plumbing
- CF7 styles in `plumbing-variation.css` use higher specificity (`.style-variation-plumbing` prefix) to override global CF7 styles in `style.css`
- All CF7 CSS scoped to `.wpcf7-form` to avoid unintended styling of the block editor UI",

## [3.6.3] - 2026-03-19

### Changed

### Changed

**Plumbing Header Component Styles — Dedicated CSS Files:**
- Extracted plumbing header CTA button styles into `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-header-cta.css`
- Extracted plumbing top bar phone pill styles into `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-topbar-phone.css`
- Removed these styles from `plumbing-variation.css` (previously scoped under `.style-variation-plumbing` body class)

### Technical

**Block Style Enqueue for FSE Editor Compatibility:**
- Registered `plumbing-topbar-phone` and `plumbing-header-cta` component CSS via `wp_enqueue_block_style( 'core/group' )` in `functions.php`
- Styles now load in both the frontend and the FSE editor iframe without requiring a body class or `.editor-styles-wrapper` scope
- Fixes plumbing header CTA and top bar phone styles not rendering correctly in the Site Editor",

## [3.6.1] - 2026-03-19

### Changed

**Plumbing Variation — Style Enqueue Refactor:**
- Merged `plumbing-variation-editor.css` into `plumbing-variation.css`; deleted the separate editor stylesheet
- Switched enqueue hook from `wp_enqueue_scripts` + `enqueue_block_editor_assets` to `enqueue_block_assets` so a single file covers both frontend and FSE editor iframe
- Added active-variation guard (`wp_get_global_settings`) so the stylesheet is only enqueued when the plumbing variation is actually active

**Plumbing Header Pattern — Mobile Responsiveness:**
- Added `hide-on-mobile` class to the "Licensed & Insured · ROC #" text so it is hidden on small screens
- Added mobile breakpoint rule to center the top-bar flex group on screens ≤ 781 px
- Added mobile rule to strip pill styling (background, padding, border-radius) from `.plumbing-topbar-phone` on mobile, leaving only the icon + phone number visible",

## [3.6.0] - 2026-03-16

**Plumbing Industry Vertical:**

- `patterns/plumbing-header.php`: Plumbing site header pattern with logo, phone number, and emergency CTA button.
- `patterns/plumbing-hero.php`: Full-width hero section with headline, subtext, dual CTAs, and emergency availability badge. Floating badges use CSS Grid overlay (`plumbing-hero-card` class on the card group) so positioning works correctly in both the block editor and frontend.
- `patterns/plumbing-services.php`: Services grid pattern with six service cards (drain cleaning, leak repair, pipe replacement, water heater, sewer, commercial) using SVG icons and responsive grid layout.
- `patterns/plumbing-stats-bar.php`: Stats bar pattern with key business metrics (years experience, jobs completed, response time, satisfaction rate).
- `patterns/plumbing-why-us.php`: Why-choose-us section with feature list, years badge, and supporting image.
- `patterns/plumbing-testimonials.php`: Customer testimonials grid with star ratings and reviewer details.
- `patterns/plumbing-emergency-cta.php`: Emergency call-to-action banner with urgent messaging and phone CTA.
- `patterns/plumbing-contact.php`: Contact section with address, phone, hours, and contact form placeholder.
- `patterns/plumbing-footer.php`: Plumbing site footer with logo, nav links, contact details, and emergency call CTA.
- `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-service-card.css`: Block style for plumbing service card groups.
- `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-featured-card.css`: Block style for featured plumbing card groups.
- `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-badge.css`: Block style for plumbing badge elements.
- `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-years-badge.css`: Block style for years-in-business circular badge — 110px diameter, amber background, heading/paragraph child selectors, plus overlay positioning context when nested inside `.plumbing-why-image-wrap`.
- `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-section-label.css`: Block style for amber pill section labels (`core/paragraph`, `is-style-plumbing-section-label`).
- `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-stat-block.css`: Block style for stat number/label pairs (`core/group`, `is-style-plumbing-stat-block`).
- `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-check-icon.css`: Block style for circular amber check icon containers with SVG sizing (`core/group`, `is-style-plumbing-check-icon`).
- `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-why-item.css`: Block style for flex-row icon + text items in the why-us section (`core/group`, `is-style-plumbing-why-item`).
- `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-avatar.css`: Block style for circular gradient testimonial avatars (`core/group`, `is-style-plumbing-avatar`).
- `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-contact-icon.css`: Block style for rounded contact icon containers (`core/group`, `is-style-plumbing-contact-icon`).
- `assets/styles/block-styles/plumbing-call-btn.css`: Block style for the phone-icon CTA button (`core/button`, `is-style-plumbing-call-btn`); SVG phone icon injected via `::before` pseudo-element.
- `patterns/images/plumbing/`: 22 plumbing SVG icons — six service icons (`icon-commercial.svg`, `icon-drain.svg`, `icon-leak.svg`, `icon-pipe.svg`, `icon-sewer.svg`, `icon-water-heater.svg`); four hero/badge icons for floating trust indicators (`icon-shield.svg`, `icon-lightning-amber.svg`, `icon-clock-amber.svg`, `icon-phone-white.svg`); five rating/testimonial icons (`icon-5-stars.svg`, `icon-star-amber.svg`, `icon-check-amber.svg`, `icon-google-amber.svg`, `icon-users-amber.svg`); seven UI icons for footer, contact, and CTA patterns (`icon-alert-white.svg`, `icon-arrow-right-white.svg`, `icon-contact-clock.svg`, `icon-contact-email.svg`, `icon-contact-location.svg`, `icon-contact-phone.svg`, `icon-phone-amber.svg`).
- `styles/plumbing.json`: Plumbing style variation with navy/amber/emergency-red color palette, custom duotone filters, gradients, and heading typography overrides (uppercase, narrow font-stretch).
- `style.css`: Plumbing utility CSS section (`.plumbing-*` classes) added for layout and animation rules that cannot be scoped to a single block: hero diagonal separator (`::after` clip-path), hero image wrapper CSS Grid overlay for floating badges, stats divider, why-us column/image-wrap layouts, always-on text, emergency pulse keyframes, header top bar, and header CTA hover. Self-contained component styles (section label, stat block, check icon, why item, avatar, contact icon, call button) are registered as block styles instead and load on demand.
- `functions.php`: `elayne_register_plumbing_block_styles()` — registers and conditionally enqueues 11 plumbing block style variations across `core/group` (9), `core/paragraph` (1), and `core/button` (1). Patterns use `is-style-plumbing-*` class naming throughout.
- `functions.php`: `elayne_enqueue_plumbing_editor_styles()` — enqueues `plumbing-variation-editor.css` via `enqueue_block_editor_assets`, keeping all plumbing variation style concerns in one place.
- `assets/styles/plumbing-variation-editor.css`: Editor-only stylesheet applying `display: contents` to Gutenberg's intermediate `.block-editor-inner-blocks` and `.block-editor-block-list__layout` wrappers so the CSS Grid on `.overlay-grid-wrap` treats the card and badges as direct grid items in the editor.
- `assets/styles/plumbing-variation.css`: New dedicated stylesheet for all plumbing style variation CSS, scoped entirely under `.style-variation-plumbing` body class. Replaces the former inline plumbing section in `style.css` — prevents bleed into other style variations. Includes header top bar, navigation hover states, header CTA, hamburger, mobile overlay, hero diagonal separator, hero image placeholder, testimonial highlight, contact form, footer phone icon, and CTA icon rules.
- `styles/plumbing.json`: Added `settings.custom.styleVariation: "plumbing"` marker key — read by the new `body_class` filter to automatically add `.style-variation-plumbing` to the page body when this variation is active.
- `functions.php`: `elayne_style_variation_body_class()` — reads `custom.styleVariation` from the merged theme.json via `wp_get_global_settings()` and adds `style-variation-{slug}` to the body class list; enables CSS scoping for any style variation. `elayne_enqueue_plumbing_variation_styles()` — enqueues `plumbing-variation.css` globally (self-isolated via body class scope).
- Navigation hover: plumbing header navigation links now show a rectangular background (`border-radius: 6px`, `rgba(255,255,255,0.06)`) and white text on hover with no underline — matching the HTML design reference. Previously a leaky `.has-secondary-background-color` selector was used; now correctly scoped to `.style-variation-plumbing`.

**Vibe IDE Tooling:**

- `.vibe/skills/design/SKILL.md`: Design skill definition for Vibe CLI — generates production-grade HTML/CSS layouts and WordPress block patterns using the Elayne design system.
- `.vibe/skills/design/README.md`: Usage documentation for the design skill.
- `.vibe/config.toml`: Enabled `design` skill and added skill path for demo site.

## [3.5.3] - 2026-03-17

### Fixed

**WP.org Theme Review Compliance:**

- `patterns/header-standard-with-tel-number.php`: Wrapped phone number text `(123) 456-7890` in `esc_html_e()` for translation readiness; removed emoji from anchor text.
- `patterns/footer-simple.php`, `patterns/footer-standard.php`, `patterns/footer-with-nav-columns.php`: Wrapped copyright/attribution line in `__()` with `wp_kses_post()` and `sprintf()` so the "Powered by WordPress and Elayne" string is fully translation-ready.
- `readme.txt`: Updated license entries for AI-generated images (`spa/avatar-1.webp`, `spa/avatar-3.webp`, `spa/avatar-4.webp`, `spa/spa-treatment-hot-stones.webp`, `fandb/pan-seared-halibut.webp`, `fandb/placeholder-800x600.webp`) from "Provided by client (AI-generated)" to CC0 1.0 Universal (Public Domain).

## [3.5.2] - 2026-03-15

### Changed

**WP.org Theme Review Compliance:**

- `assets/js/block-extensions/post-excerpt.js`: Prefixed all JavaScript functions with `elaynePostExcerpt` namespace to prevent global scope conflicts (`elaynePostExcerptAddAttributes`, `elaynePostExcerptWithInspectorControls`, `elaynePostExcerptWithCustomClassName`).
- `patterns/fandb-hours-location.php`: Replaced placeholder email `info@yourrestaurant.com` with `example@example.com`.
- Translation compliance: Wrapped all bare user-facing strings in `esc_html_e()`, `esc_attr__()`, or `wp_kses_post(__())` across 17 pattern files (`footer-with-nav-columns.php`, `two-column-feature.php`, `fandb-amenities.php`, `fandb-chef-profile.php`, `fandb-hours-location.php`, `fandb-testimonials-food.php`, `spa-booking-cta.php`, `spa-home-hero.php`, `four-column-wellness-posts.php`, `wellness-cover-highlight.php`, `menu-pricing-table.php`, `menu-food-grid.php`, `menu-drinks-grid.php`, `menu-daily-specials.php`, `legal-hero-with-stats.php`, `header-social-logo-hamburger.php`, `header-social-logo-hamburger-light.php`).
- `patterns/hero-modern-light.php`: Replaced marketing copy in paragraph with placeholder text (WP.org requirement).
- `screenshot.png`: Updated theme screenshot to reflect current design.
- Hardcoded font-size compliance: Replaced all inline `font-size` CSS values with semantic `fontSize` block attributes across 11 patterns (`fandb-amenities.php`, `fandb-chef-profile.php`, `fandb-hours-location.php`, `fandb-testimonials-food.php`, `legal-hero-with-stats.php`, `menu-daily-specials.php`, `menu-drinks-grid.php`, `menu-food-grid.php`, `menu-pricing-table.php`, `spa-booking-cta.php`, `wellness-cover-highlight.php`). Values such as `font-size:2.5rem`, `font-size:1.5rem`, and `font-size:0.9375rem` replaced with semantic presets (`large`, `medium`, `x-small`, etc.).
- Full-width margin reset: Added missing `"margin":{"top":"0","bottom":"0"}` to `spa-booking-cta.php` (outer group) and `wellness-cover-highlight.php` (outer cover block) — both are `alignfull` patterns that were missing the required margin reset.

### Technical

**CLAUDE.md Efficiency Guidelines:**
- Added efficiency section to `demo/web/app/themes/elayne/CLAUDE.md` with guidance to use `Grep` before reading files and prefer targeted reads with `offset`/`limit` parameters

## [3.4.0] - 2026-03-13

### Added
- `theme.json`: Border radius preset system (`settings.border.radiusSizes`) using WordPress 6.9 `radiusSizes` API — slugs `sm` (0.625rem), `md` (0.75rem), `lg` (1rem), `pill` (999px). Enables `var:preset|border-radius|{slug}` references across all patterns.
- `theme.json`: Added `xx-small` font size (fluid 0.625–0.6875rem, ~11px) to `settings.typography.fontSizes` — sits below `x-small`, used for small uppercase labels and month labels in event patterns.
- `docs/elayne/BORDER-PRESETS.md`: New reference document covering WP 6.9 border radius preset system, valid preset slugs, border-width conventions, and missing slug warnings.

### Fixed
- `event-upcoming-grid.php`: Replaced all invalid `var:preset|border|radius` and `var:preset|border|width` references (no such preset exists) with correct `var:preset|border-radius|{slug}` and hardcoded `1px` border-width.
- `event-upcoming-grid.php`: Replaced all invalid `var:preset|spacing|xx-small` references (slug does not exist in theme.json) with valid `var:preset|spacing|2-x-small` (badge padding) and `var:preset|spacing|x-small` (tag padding, button padding, date box padding).
- `event-upcoming-grid.php`: Replaced `var:preset|font-size|xx-small` references with the now-defined `xx-small` font size slug after adding it to theme.json.
- `event-upcoming-grid.php`: Date box `blockGap` set to hardcoded `3px` (below minimum spacing preset granularity — valid exception).

## [3.3.0] - 2026-03-12

### Fixed

**Pattern Compliance — Hardcoded CSS Values:**
- Replaced hardcoded CSS values with semantic variables in 4 pattern files:
  - `event-upcoming-grid.php`: Fixed 19px, 14px, 13px font-sizes → semantic variables
  - `legal-hero-split.php`: Fixed 4px, 14px, 2.25rem, 1.25rem, 1.125rem, 8px, 12px → semantic variables
  - `page-coming-soon.php`: Fixed 4rem, 1.25rem, 3rem, 0.875rem, 8px, 100px → semantic variables
- All hardcoded CSS values now use `var:preset|font-size|*` and `var:preset|spacing|*` semantic variables

**Pattern Compliance — Untranslated Text Strings:**
- Wrapped all user-facing text strings with `esc_html_e()` for translation readiness:
  - `header-double-bar.php`: Wrapped "Email" text string
  - `legal-hero-split.php`: Wrapped all text strings including "Trusted Since 1985", "Years", "Cases Won", "Success Rate", "Client Reviews", "Based on 500+ verified client reviews", "Schedule Consultation", "Call Now"
  - `page-coming-soon.php`: Wrapped all text strings including "Coming Soon", "We're working on something amazing...", "Days", "Hours", "Minutes", "Seconds", "Get Notified When We Launch", "Notify Me", "We respect your privacy..."
- All text strings now properly wrapped for WordPress translation system

**WP.org Translation Compliance — Pattern Text Strings:**

### Fixed

**Pattern Compliance — Hardcoded CSS Values:**
- Replaced hardcoded CSS values with semantic variables in 4 pattern files:
  - `event-upcoming-grid.php`: Fixed 19px, 14px, 13px font-sizes → semantic variables
  - `legal-hero-split.php`: Fixed 4px, 14px, 2.25rem, 1.25rem, 1.125rem, 8px, 12px → semantic variables
  - `page-coming-soon.php`: Fixed 4rem, 1.25rem, 3rem, 0.875rem, 8px, 100px → semantic variables
- All hardcoded CSS values now use `var:preset|font-size|*` and `var:preset|spacing|*` semantic variables

**Pattern Compliance — Untranslated Text Strings:**
- Wrapped all user-facing text strings with `esc_html_e()` for translation readiness:
  - `header-double-bar.php`: Wrapped "Email" text string
  - `legal-hero-split.php`: Wrapped all text strings including "Trusted Since 1985", "Years", "Cases Won", "Success Rate", "Client Reviews", "Based on 500+ verified client reviews", "Schedule Consultation", "Call Now"
  - `page-coming-soon.php`: Wrapped all text strings including "Coming Soon", "We're working on something amazing...", "Days", "Hours", "Minutes", "Seconds", "Get Notified When We Launch", "Notify Me", "We respect your privacy..."
- All text strings now properly wrapped for WordPress translation system

**WP.org Translation Compliance — Pattern Text Strings:**
- Wrapped all user-facing text in `esc_html_e( 'Text', 'elayne' )` across 12 pattern files to meet WordPress.org theme review requirements
- Wrapped all non-empty image `alt` attributes in `esc_attr__( 'Text', 'elayne' )` for i18n compliance
- Affected patterns: `card-call-to-action.php`, `case-study-detailed.php`, `client-logo-wall.php`, `client-success-stories.php`, `hero-modern-dark.php`, `hero-modern-light.php`, `overlapping-feature-columns.php`, `overlapping-feature-columns-reversed.php`, `pricing-comparison.php`, `review-text-image-overlap.php`, `testimonials-grid.php`, `two-column-review.php`
- Covers headings, paragraphs, button labels, stat numbers, badge tags, testimonial quotes, job titles, and CTA text

**WP.org External URL Compliance — Pattern Image Sources:**
- Replaced hardcoded external URLs (`http://demo.imagewize.test/app/themes/elayne/patterns/images/...`) with `get_template_directory_uri()` calls in `client-success-stories.php`
- Fixes WP.org theme review rejection caused by environment-specific URLs in avatar images

**Pattern Compliance — Margin Reset:**
- Added missing full-width margin reset (`"margin":{"top":"0","bottom":"0"}`) to outer `alignfull` groups in `client-success-stories.php`, `client-logo-wall.php`, and `two-column-review.php`
- Corrects patterns that relied on `className="alignfull"` without the required block-level margin reset in the JSON attributes

**Pattern Compliance — Hardcoded Font Sizes:**
- Removed duplicate inline `font-size` styles from `hero-modern-dark.php` and `hero-modern-light.php` where paragraphs already had semantic `fontSize` block attributes (`medium`, `base`)
- Removed `font-size` inline styles and `has-custom-font-size` class from button elements in both hero patterns
- Replaced hardcoded `font-size:3rem`, `font-size:3.5rem`, `font-size:1.5rem`, `font-size:1.25rem`, and `font-size:1.125rem` in `case-study-detailed.php` with semantic `fontSize` block attributes (`xx-large`, `large`, `medium`)

**Pattern Compliance — Responsive Grid Layout:**
- Converted two `wp:columns` 3-column blocks in `case-study-detailed.php` to `wp:group` grid layout with `minimumColumnWidth` (18rem for phase steps, 14rem for phase metrics) for proper 3→2→1 responsive behaviour
- Increased metrics grid `minimumColumnWidth` from `10rem` to `14rem` to prevent `xx-large` stat numbers from overflowing and overlapping at narrow widths
- Added `align="wide"` to main content group in `case-study-detailed.php` so the content section expands beyond the outer constrained layout's default `contentSize` (740px)
- Fixed "Start Your Project" CTA button `textColor` from undefined `contrast` to `main` (dark gray) so button text is visible on white (`base`) background

**Pattern Compliance — Undefined `contrast` Color Slug:**
- Fixed patterns using `contrast` as a color slug, which does not exist in Elayne's theme palette. Root cause: WordPress core themes (Twenty Twenty-Three/Four/Five) use `contrast` as the slug for their dark color; Elayne renamed it to `main` but kept `"name": "Contrast"` as the editor display label, leading to `contrast` being used by mistake in several patterns
- `event-upcoming-grid.php`: fixed `backgroundColor:"contrast"` on all 3 event cards → `base`; fixed `backgroundColor:"contrast"` on all 3 "Details" buttons → `base` (buttons on white cards now have a valid white background)
- `legal-hero-split.php`: fixed `textColor:"contrast"` on 3 stat labels (Years, Cases Won, Success Rate) → `main-accent`; fixed border `color:"var:preset|color|contrast"` on stats divider → `border-light`; fixed `textColor:"contrast"` on "Client Reviews" label → `main`
- `header-double-bar.php`: fixed link `color:"var:preset|color|contrast"` on email and phone links in top bar → `main`
- `page-coming-soon.php`: fixed `backgroundColor:"contrast-2"` on countdown timer box → `tertiary` (`contrast-2` is also not a defined Elayne color slug)

**Pattern — client-logo-wall.php:**
- Increased logo image width from `120px` to `180px` for all 12 logos for better visual presence on frontend
- Increased grid `minimumColumnWidth` from `10rem` to `12rem` to match larger logo size

**Pattern — client-success-stories.php:**
- Changed outer section background color from `base` (white) to `tertiary` (light gray) for better visual differentiation
- Changed main testimonial block alignment from `wide` to `full` for edge-to-edge impact
- Replaced `className:"alignwide"` on secondary testimonials grid with proper `align:"wide"` and `layout:{"type":"grid","minimumColumnWidth":"19rem"}` for correct 3→2→1 responsive behaviour

**Pattern — event-upcoming-grid.php:**
- Increased pill/tag group `blockGap` from `xx-small` to `small` for better spacing between location and detail tags (3 instances)

**Pattern — legal-hero-split.php:**
- Changed stats grid `minimumColumnWidth` from hardcoded `100px` to semantic `12rem` for proper responsive column behaviour
- Reduced stats grid `blockGap` from `x-large` to `medium` to prevent excessive spacing between stat columns
- Converted stat number headings (`35+`, `2,500+`, `98%`) from inline `fontSize` style to semantic `fontSize:"xx-large"` block attribute

### CSS

**style.css — Safari Scrollbar Visibility Fix:**
- Added `::-webkit-scrollbar` rules to make scrollbar thumb visible in the block editor on Safari/macOS, where overlay scrollbars render with a near-invisible light gray thumb on white/light backgrounds
- Scrollbar track: transparent; thumb: `rgba(0,0,0,0.35)` with `border-radius:4px`; hover: `rgba(0,0,0,0.55)`

### Technical

**Pattern Compliance Workflow — Extended Checks:**
- Added check for hardcoded external URLs in `src` attributes: flags any `src="https?://..."` in pattern files (WP.org rejection cause)
- Added check for untranslated user-facing text in HTML tags: detects bare text in `<h1-6>`, `<p>`, `<a>`, `<button>`, `<span>`, `<li>`, etc. on lines without `<?php`
- Added check for untranslated non-empty `alt` attributes: flags `alt="..."` values without PHP translation call
- Narrowed hardcoded CSS check from `(font-size|padding|margin|border-radius)` to `font-size` only — `border-radius` and `padding` have no WP semantic preset alternatives and produced false positives

**CLAUDE.md — Translation Readiness Guidelines (CRITICAL):**
- Expanded Translation Readiness section into a comprehensive reference table covering `esc_html_e()`, `esc_attr__()`, and `wp_kses_post( __() )` with usage examples
- Documented what to wrap (all headings, paragraphs, button labels, stat numbers, alt text, CTA text) and what NOT to wrap (empty `alt=""`, block JSON attributes, PHP expressions)
- Added quick `grep` check command to find unwrapped strings before committing
- Removed outdated mention of `__()` / `_e()` in favour of escaping variants

**CLAUDE.md — External Image URL Rule:**
- Added explicit rule to the pattern standards table: never use hardcoded external URLs (e.g. `http://demo.imagewize.test/...`) — flagged as WP.org rejection cause
- Added rule that all image `src` attributes must use `get_template_directory_uri()` wrapped in `esc_url()`
- Updated pattern creation checklist (steps 5–7) to include translation wrapping and URL requirements before testing

## [3.2.1] - 2026-03-06

### Removed

- Deleted `assets/js/block-extensions/navigation.js` — the `dropdownSpacing` attribute and editor UI panel it registered had no corresponding PHP `render_block` handler, so the setting was saved but never applied on the frontend. Dead code removed.
- Removed the `elayne-navigation-extension` script enqueue from `inc/block-extensions.php`.

## [3.2.0] - 2026-03-06

### Fixed

**WordPress.org Review — Navigation Submenus (Issue 1):**
- Removed `openSubmenusOnClick`, `hasClickableParents`, and `hasImprovedChevrons` attributes from all header patterns (`header-standard`, `header-mobile`, `header-double-bar`, `header-social-logo-hamburger`, `header-social-logo-hamburger-light`, `header-standard-with-tel-number`, `spa-home-hero`). WordPress native hover/focus behaviour now handles submenu visibility without theme interference.
- Removed "prevent hover" CSS override block from `core-navigation.css` that was suppressing WP core `:hover`/`focus-within` submenu display.
- Added `::before` pseudo-element bridge on desktop submenu containers so `:hover` is maintained across the `margin-top` gap between parent item and dropdown.
- **Mobile overlay rebuild:** Replaced `opacity`/`visibility`/`height` submenu toggle with `display: none !important` / `display: flex !important` driven by `:has(.wp-block-navigation-submenu__toggle[aria-expanded="true"])`. Submenu icon (`.wp-block-navigation__submenu-icon`) repositioned absolutely at `right: 0; top: 0; width: 44px; height: 44px` within the `li`. Removed chevron-moving JS section (section 1 of `navigation-frontend.js`). Removed dash pseudo-element (`content: "\2014"`) prepended to submenu items in mobile overlay. Added `padding-right: 44px` on parent link content to prevent text running under icon.

**WordPress.org Review — Template Part Area (Issue 2):**

**WordPress.org Review — JavaScript Prefixing (Issue 5):**
- Renamed all `moiraine-*` CSS classes to `elayne-*` in `assets/styles/core-navigation.css` (`.moiraine-hamburger-large`, `.moiraine-nav-parent-wrapper`, `.moiraine-nav-parent-link`, `.moiraine-nav-toggle`).
- Renamed all `moiraine/` filter name prefixes to `elayne/` in both block extension JS files.
- Renamed `moiraine-linked-excerpt` CSS class and `moiraine-excerpt-link-settings` panel `className` to `elayne-*` equivalents.

## [3.0.0] - 2026-02-11

### Changed - BREAKING: Page template simplification

**Template Reduction (5 → 2):**
- Simplified from 5 page templates down to 2 active templates
- `page.html` → `template-page` (with title, top padding only)
- `page-no-title.html` → `template-page-no-title` (no title, zero padding)

**Template Pattern Renaming:**
- `template-page-centered.php` → `template-page.php` (slug: `elayne/template-page`)
- `template-page-full.php` → `template-page-no-title.php` (slug: `elayne/template-page-no-title`)
- Updated all template HTML files to reference new pattern slugs

**Removed Templates (Breaking Change):**
- ❌ `template-page-wide-no-title.php` + `page-wide-no-title.html` - REMOVED
- ❌ `template-page-hero.php` + `page-hero.html` - REMOVED
- ❌ `template-page-wide.php` + `page-wide.html` - REMOVED
- Pages using removed templates will fall back to default `page.html`

**Padding Strategy:**
- `template-page.php` - Kept `padding-top: var:preset|spacing|xx-large` on `<main>` group (required for title spacing from header)
- `template-page-no-title.php` - Zero padding (patterns control all spacing)
- Templates provide structure only (title vs no-title), patterns/blocks control spacing

**Benefits:**
- Cleaner template architecture (2 templates instead of 5)
- Clear naming convention (page vs page-no-title)
- Patterns get full control over spacing and layout
- Full-width backgrounds extend properly to edges
- Aligns with modern FSE theme approach (Twenty Twenty-Five, Ollie)

### Verified - No migration required

**Affected Pages (7 total):**
- Main demo (3 pages): Blog, FAQ, Services - using `page-wide-no-title.html`
- Kafe demo (4 pages): Drinks, Food, Home - using `page-hero.html`; Events - using `page-wide-no-title.html`

**Verification Results (2026-02-11):**
- ✅ All 7 affected pages audited locally with screenshots
- ✅ Zero spacing issues found - patterns already handle their own spacing correctly
- ✅ No manual migration needed - pages will work with default template fallback

### Technical
