Rich Content & Live Coverage

Founder direction during iPad walkthrough: collapse per-city accents + roll the legacy indigo/purple/pink brand gradient to the new Variant C black + purple everywhere it surfaces. Six atomic commits: (1) added .bg-gradient-brand / -r / -b utility classes in src/index.css + removed per-city --accent-* CSS tokens; (2) collapsed cityAccent.ts to a unified Variant C shim — getCityAccent() is now a no-op returning the same gradient for every city so all 9 call sites still compile but visually unify; (3-5) swept ~142 component files across feed, layout, messaging, ask, calendar, businesses, professionals, profile, explore, vault, services, ui, listings, ai, discovery, groups, hotspots, agent-dashboard, agent-engagement, post-hire, onboarding, notifications, properties, search, map, create — every saturated bg-gradient-to-r/br/b from-indigo-500 via-purple-500 to-pink-500 chain (and 2-stop / dark / 400/600 variants) replaced with .bg-gradient-brand-*. Also swept inline style={{ background: 'linear-gradient(135deg, #6366f1, #8b5cf6, #ec4899)' }} hex triples to the Variant C hex triple #1a0033 → #4c1d95 → #000000. AppShell + AppErrorFallback Living Skyline SVG logo gradient stops swapped. Pastel -50/-100 warm card tints (the Phase 32 two-layer system) intentionally preserved. Per-category single colors (eventCategoryColor, scoreUtils, agent dots, vault accent colors) intentionally preserved — those are differentiation tokens, not the brand gradient. (6) DESIGN_STANDARDS.md updated: rolled-back palette section, new utility class table, anti-pattern callout, decisions log updated. Build green throughout (3.14s last). ~190 occurrences swept across ~145 files.

Swept all 6 mock data files (mockPosts.ts, mockBusinesses.ts, mockUsers.ts, mockEvents.ts, mockListings.ts, mockServiceProviders.ts) per D-37 mismatch rubric (D-38: content / locale / identity / business identity). ~25 entity-level Picsum seed swaps with // seed verified for content match comments per D-39. D-40 per-locale curated PICSUM SEED REFERENCE headers added to all 6 files (NYC, LA, Austin, Paris, Tokyo, BA, Cape Town, Vesta). Highest-leverage swaps: listings 1-3 photos (the demo-most-likely tap targets — lst1a/b/c, lst2a/b/c, lst3a/b/c → wburg-condo-interior, gp-brownstone-interior, wburg-bedford-studio etc.), 7 legacy NYC events (trivia1/openmic1/smorg1/yoga1/blockparty1-2/brooklynbowl1 → wburg-petes-trivia-night / wburg-rough-trade-openmic etc.), 3 Vesta events realigned (incl. evt-vesta-3 fixed from vesta-harbor-1 → vesta-civic-council-hall — civic council ≠ harbor), Vesta closing-beat post-vesta-6 hero → vesta-community-center-warm aligned with D-42 CULTURAL_HERO. D-42 Vesta closing-beat hero curated upload: public/curated/ scaffold + ATTRIBUTION.md with founder follow-up shipped; CulturalSection.tsx renderer patched to detect /-prefixed paths as direct curated assets vs Picsum seeds; actual image sourcing deferred to founder per plan defensive clause (requires founder taste judgment to avoid exploitation / non-conflict markers per Phase 35 D-11). All Vesta entities verified zero forbidden words (war/bombed/siege/refugees/ruins). Per D-41 no mid-phase founder checkpoint — founder spot-checks at end-of-phase iPad walk-through per D-53. Build green (3.24s), tsc clean.

3 deliverables: (a) LivePhotoGallery + LivePhotoLightbox inside PostDetail per D-16 (3-col grid with contributor + caption + timestamp, full-screen lightbox with chevron / arrow-key / touch-swipe nav, Aperture lucide section header, Camera empty state, react-loading-skeleton everywhere). PostDetail gains scrollToGallery (D-17 — 350ms delay for vaul) + highlightPhotoId (D-24 — violet ring + scrollIntoView) props. (b) New OnTheGroundSection.tsx always rendered on UserProfile drawer per D-26 — 4-col photo grid with post-title captions (D-23a/c) + 160px CartoDB Voyager mini-map with one pin per location, fitBounds (D-23b/D-29). Respects photosArePublic per D-28 (false → empty state). Cross-city visibility per D-27. AppShell adds a cross-context PostDetail mount for "On the ground" taps so tile/pin tap opens the original post scrolled-to-gallery with the photo highlighted. (c) PhotoSurgeBannerCard.tsx in RightNowBanner per D-19 — w-72 card matching WCHubCard footprint, Camera lucide (NOT 📸 emoji per DESIGN_STANDARDS), "N photos posted in the last 30 min · {title}", pulsing violet dot + "PHOTO SURGE" label. 2 cards surface (Williamsburg block party 12 photos + NYC fire 9 photos) from Plan 36-05 pre-flagged data. Tap → opens PostDetail scrolled to gallery. Surge derivation lives in FeedContainer (not AppShell as plan suggested — keeps existing PostDetail mount as single source per file, no regression to PostCard / banner-alert tap paths). D-16/D-17/D-19/D-21/D-22/D-23/D-24/D-26/D-27/D-29 all locked. Build green (3.25s, 0 errors).

Rebuilt WCHubDrawer.tsx as a 239-line orchestrator + 6 per-section sub-components under src/components/feed/wc-hub-v2/ (HeroLiveMomentSection, HappeningNowSection, HyperlocalSection, CrossCitySection, TouristDiasporaSection, CulturalSection + extracted WCHubLoadingSkeleton). All 6 sections render in D-09 order: Hero → Happening Now → Hyperlocal → Cross-city → Tourist+Diaspora → Cultural. 12 of 14 brainstormed concepts land as feature cards (#12 jersey wall + #14 player roots NOT rendered per D-10). Vesta cultural hero renders FULL-WIDTH at the bottom per D-09 + D-12 using the slate per-city accent gradient. Cheer heatmap uses 4-state intensity (zinc-300 / yellow-400 / emerald-400 / rose-500-pulse). HappeningNow + Hyperlocal cards branch off discriminated item.type via exhaustiveness-checked switch. Drawer hero header uses getCityAccent(activeNeighborhood).gradient per D-32 so switching cities changes the gradient flavor. D-11 OVERRIDE shipped: removed showWorldCupHub() import + wcHubEnabled date gate from AppShell — drawer + card render regardless of date so the pitch demo always works. WCHubCard copy refresh: "through July 19" → "tap to enter →" + fallback subtitle "all 6 cities" → "10 cities" (Phase 36 D-07 footprint correction). Per-section try/catch surfaces a per-section error placeholder so one broken section doesn't kill the drawer. No emoji glyphs — lucide-react components only. All sub-components ≤200 lines. Build green (tsc + vite).

New src/utils/eventCategoryColor.ts helper exposing getCategoryDotColor() + getCategoryDotHex() for the 8 D-43 demo categories (social=indigo, fitness=emerald, community=purple, food=orange, arts=pink, cultural=violet, singles=rose) plus 4 in-union extras. MonthGrid rewritten with extracted DateDots sub-component rendering up to 3 distinct-category dots at w-1.5 h-1.5 per D-43, plus · density indicator for 4+ events per D-44. Empty-date tap shows amber CTA banner "No events on [date] · [city]. Browse upcoming events ↓" with click-to-scroll wiring per D-45. +33 fan-out mock events distributed 2026-05-25 → 2026-06-24 (Williamsburg/Greenpoint/East Village 5 each, LA/Austin/Vesta 3 each, Paris/Tokyo/BA 2 each, Cape Town 3) — every (city × week) slot now has ≥1 event per D-46 (was 17/50 → 50/50). Per-city dot filtering per D-47 already wired via CalendarDrawer's pre-filter pipeline. Tap-to-filter-list per D-48 preserved through existing activeDate flow. Vesta tone clean (no forbidden words — civic kitchen / kids' soccer / harbor cleanup). Build green.

PhotoContribution interface + photoThread / isLivePhotoSurge on BasePost + photosArePublic on Author (default true) per D-13/D-18/D-19/D-28. 4 demo posts seeded with 43 photo contributions (Williamsburg block party 12 + NYC fire 9 + Tokyo Sanja Matsuri parade 14 + Paris climate march 8 — NYC + Tokyo + Paris coverage). 2 posts pre-flagged isLivePhotoSurge=true (Williamsburg block party + NYC fire) for Right Now banner escalation in Plan 36-06. 4 active contributors documented in MOCK_USERS comment block per D-25 (Maria G. 12, Yuki Sato 10, Camille Moreau 6, user-lb-3 4). No GPS verification (D-14), no time decay (D-15 override), no flag-button UI (D-20 data hook only). Build green.

Per-section types + arrays in new sibling file src/data/mockWorldCupV2.ts (re-exported via canonical @/data/mockWorldCup): HERO_LIVE_MOMENT, HAPPENING_NOW, HYPERLOCAL, CHEER_HEATMAP (10 cells), LIVE_STITCHES, FANS_NEARBY, HOSTED_PARTIES, VISITOR_GUIDES, CULTURAL_HERO + aggregate WC_HUB_V2. 12 of 14 concepts kept (#12 jersey wall + #14 player roots dropped per D-10). Vesta cultural hero cross-linked to post-vesta-6 / evt-vesta-1 per D-12. Lucide icon names (PartyPopper / Beer / Tv / Handshake / MapPin / Utensils / Trophy / Award) verified against lucide-react. Existing MOCK_WC_GATHERINGS + findCrossCityGatherings preserved (consumers still compile). Build green.

Variant C swap (#1a0033 → #4c1d95 → #000000), 10-city accent map (violet/emerald/amber/orchid/warm-orange/deep-blue/crimson/sky/gold/slate), getCityAccent() helper at src/utils/cityAccent.ts, 6 consumer surfaces wired (NeighborhoodSelector pill, RightNowBanner urgent border, MorningBriefingDrawer hero, CalendarDrawer hero, ExploreNeighborhoodMode hero cards, ProfileContainer hero), pitch-deck-v2.html + one-pager.html updated to Variant C, DESIGN_STANDARDS.md documents two-layer system (frames dark / cards warm) per D-34, v1.2-warm-palette rollback tag created at HEAD prior to swap (D-36 gate). Build green.

10-key NeighborhoodKey, 2 city configs + admin polygons, 20 posts (10 LA + 10 Austin), 10 residents (5 + 5), 6 businesses (3 + 3), 6 events (3 + 3), 2 hotspots, 2 morning briefings, 2 Featured Agents (Marcus Reyes — Compass Eastside LA, Sofía Calderón — Compass East Side ATX, both team-5 / team-6 to avoid collision), 4 WC watch parties (2 Argentina-vs-Brazil + 2 Argentina-vs-France), 10-entry onboarding picker in US-first order. Build green, verify:coords PASS 82 entries.
