# Walkthrough: RC-010 Visual Consistency & Subdirectory Compatibility

We have successfully resolved the visual consistency regressions and completed the implementation of release candidate RC-010.

## Changes Made

### 1. Unified Login Form Refinement
- **File**: [login.php](file:///c:/xampp/htdocs/inveetaire/app/views/auth/login.php)
- **Fix**: Removed the duplicate/corrupted "Forgot your password?" links footer and fixed the broken closing tag comment. The page now cleanly displays exactly one password recovery option matching the Landing Page branding.

### 2. Subfolder Deployment Asset Paths
- **Files**:
  - [admin.php](file:///c:/xampp/htdocs/inveetaire/app/views/layouts/admin.php)
  - [couple.php](file:///c:/xampp/htdocs/inveetaire/app/views/layouts/couple.php)
  - [crew.php](file:///c:/xampp/htdocs/inveetaire/app/views/layouts/crew.php)
  - [public.php](file:///c:/xampp/htdocs/inveetaire/app/views/layouts/public.php)
- **Fix**: Replaced absolute static URLs for CSS/JS assets (e.g. `/assets/css/app.css`) with PHP `asset()` helper calls (`<?= asset('/assets/css/app.css') ?>`). This guarantees subfolder/BASE_PATH deployment compatibility.

### 3. Non-existent CSS Utilities Corrected
- **Files**:
  - [dashboard.php](file:///c:/xampp/htdocs/inveetaire/app/views/operation/dashboard.php): Changed attendance stats progress bar class from `bg-purple-550` to standard `bg-purple-600`.
  - [guest.php](file:///c:/xampp/htdocs/inveetaire/app/views/operation/guest.php): Changed `text-slate-450` to `text-slate-500` and `border-slate-150` to `border-slate-200`.
  - [template.php](file:///c:/xampp/htdocs/inveetaire/app/views/message/template.php): Replaced all placeholder text descriptions class `text-slate-450` with `text-slate-500`.

### 4. Routing Unit Tests Aligned
- **File**: [test_dev_patch_002.php](file:///c:/xampp/htdocs/inveetaire/scratch/test_dev_patch_002.php)
- **Fix**: Aligned CGI simulated route requests with current architecture (i.e. `/` returns Landing Page HTTP 200, `/login` redirects 302 to `/couple`, and `/couple` loads the workspace sign-in form).

## Validation Results

All URL path helper and CGI routing tests passed successfully:
```
[PASS] base_path() - localhost subdirectory with public
[PASS] base_path & url - localhost subdirectory with public
[PASS] base_path & url - localhost root with public
[PASS] base_path & url - production root without public
[PASS] base_path & url - production subdirectory without public
[PASS] url() with external urls
[PASS] asset() helper
[PASS] route() helper

[PASS] GET / in subfolder returns Landing Page
[PASS] GET / in production root returns Landing Page
[PASS] GET /login redirects to /couple
[PASS] GET /couple loads login page successfully
[PASS] GET /unknown-path still returns 404
```

All PHP syntax checks passed.
