## Overview First part of the move over to the new designs. This lays the groundwork (shared brand components, button/nav styling, theme tokens) and applies it across the editor and the processor. Later parts will build on top of it. ## What's changed **Branding** - Shared `Logo` and `BrandMark` components used everywhere, so the mark and wordmark are identical across the editor, processor, auth pages and the chat FAB. - The sidebar logo doubles as the editor to processor switcher, morphing into a chevron on hover. It only appears for users who can actually reach the processor. **Navigation and layout** - Both sidebars restructured onto the floating nav surface treatment, with rounded panels sitting on the app canvas. - The editor file sidebar is now three sections (controls, PDF Library, settings) and the workbench top bar and tools panel match. - Added a collapse toggle to both sidebars, with an animated expand and collapse and a tidy icon rail when collapsed. The processor did not have a desktop collapse before. **Components** - Buttons and action icons now share one styling system, so both react to the same tokens. - Secondary buttons in dark mode use a neutral fill and border instead of inheriting the primary colour. - Status badges default to a clean dot with no background, with a filled pill as the alternative. - Metric strips gained a row layout with an optional leading icon. **Theme** - Colour tokens consolidated. Literal colours live only in the palette file, everything else references the semantic `--c-*` tokens. - `saas-theme.css` removed and the parts that were genuinely needed moved into the shared theme, so all builds get them. - The colour linter enforces this across the app and runs in CI. ## Notes - Nothing functional should change here, it is styling plus the sidebar collapse feature. - Main has been merged in. The Sources and billing pages picked up changes from main during that merge and are worth a look alongside the new styling. --------- Co-authored-by: Reece Browne <74901996+reecebrowne@users.noreply.github.com>
