### 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

**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

- 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):**

- 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

### 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",

### 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

- 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

### Added

**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/legal-contact.php`: Replaced custom domain email `info@lawfirm.com` with `example@example.com`.
- `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.

- `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

  - `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):**
- Registered `"menu"` template part area in `functions.php` via `default_wp_template_part_areas` filter. Resolves PHP notice: `_filter_block_template_part_area(): "menu" is not a supported wp_template_part area value`.

**WordPress.org Review — Translation-Ready Strings (Issue 3):**
- Replaced all `'moiraine'` text domains with `'elayne'` in `assets/js/block-extensions/navigation.js` and `assets/js/block-extensions/post-excerpt.js`.
- Localized frontend aria-label strings in `functions.php` via `wp_localize_script()`.

**WordPress.org Review — External Image Sources (Issue 4):**
- Removed hardcoded `imagewize.com` link from `parts/sidebar.html`. No external image or link sources remain in the theme package.

**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.

### Changed

**`hasImprovedChevrons` feature removed entirely:**
- Removed `hasImprovedChevrons` attribute and its `ToggleControl` from `assets/js/block-extensions/navigation.js` — no longer needed with icon-absolute mobile overlay positioning.
- Removed `$has_improved_chevrons` PHP class injection from `inc/block-extensions.php`.
- Removed CSS section 6.2 (Improved Chevrons, ~50 lines) from `core-navigation.css`.
- Removed dead `has-clickable-parents` CSS section (~90 lines) from `core-navigation.css`.

### Technical

- Deleted `assets/js/navigation-frontend.js` (clickable parents DOM manipulation — no longer needed).
- Added file-level docblock and inline comments to `assets/js/block-extensions/navigation.js` documenting the dropdown spacing feature, CSS custom property data flow, and enqueue location.

## [3.1.8] - 2026-03-04

## [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

**Files Modified:**
- Renamed: `template-page-centered.php` → `template-page.php`
- Renamed: `template-page-full.php` → `template-page-no-title.php`
- Updated: `page.html`, `page-no-title.html` with new pattern slugs
- Removed: 6 files (3 pattern files + 3 template HTML files)

**Version Bump:**
- Major version increment (2.4.1 → 3.0.0) due to breaking changes
- Follows semantic versioning for template architecture changes
