Design notes

Mood: Nostalgic, sun-drenched, fun, escapist. A vintage summer captured in a web OS.
Colors: Faded pastels, sunset orange/teal/pink, cream. Slightly washed, analog-warm, low-fi.
Type: Retro display faces (chunky serifs, pixel or 80s sans), sometimes bitmap. Playful mixing, badge lockups, period-correct type.
Layout: Skeuomorphic windows/desktop metaphors, beveled buttons, retro cards, sticker badges. Framed like an old app or magazine spread.
Motion: CRT flicker, VHS wobble, sticker bounce, retro cursor trails, tactile button presses.
Texture: Film grain, VHS scanlines, halftone, gradient meshes of the era, drop-shadowed bevels, paper.
Imagery: Generate/collect: sun-bleached retro photography, VHS/film-grain and scanline textures, 80s/90s badge art, era gradient meshes. Tool: kie-ai Flux with retro/film prompts; Pexels for vintage-feel photos; overlay grain PNGs.
Don't: No sleek flat minimalism, no cold corporate blue, no ultra-modern sans-only. Embrace nostalgia and warmth.

## Acceptance criteria
- Existing project conventions, design tokens, working functionality, and unrelated changes are preserved.
- Two or three reference principles clearly support the user's task; conflicts are resolved in favor of usability and the existing product.
- Reusable components and semantic HTML express the interface. Available licensed assets are used; important UI text is never rendered as a bitmap.
- Every visible control has a defined behavior. Loading, empty, error, success, disabled, and long-content states are specified where relevant. Demo data is clearly labeled.
- Navigation and content adapt at 375px, 768px, and 1440px without horizontal page overflow. Keyboard use, visible focus, labeled inputs, at least 44px touch targets, readable contrast, and reduced motion are supported.
- Verification distinguishes rendered behavior from proposals and identifies anything still requiring a backend or external service.

## Quality bar
Clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, restrained surfaces, and purposeful motion. Avoid decorative gradients, excessive cards, placeholder buttons, and invented metrics unless the project calls for them. Do not claim a feature is connected or tested without evidence.
