ducoterra dbf2af26c6 refactor(agents): migrate .agent/ planning tree to .agents/
Standardize on the .agents/ directory (shared with project skills):
phases/, user_stories/, reports/, screenshots/, validate.sh, and
phase-sessions/ + pipeline.log all move to .agents/ (git mv preserves
history; runtime artifacts move alongside).

Updates every reference in AGENTS.md, README.md, .gitignore, app
docstrings, and test story headers. Historical KB content in data/
and the runtime pipeline.log transcript are left untouched.

Phase 08 — Dark Tech Theme: complete, all gates green, committed (2f738a7).

Implemented:

  • Dark token palette in styles.css (bg #0a0e17, surface #121a2e, brand #6d78f2 with dark-ink text 5.2:1 — white-on-brand eliminated everywhere incl. skip-link, nav-active, user bubble, send button); radii 10/6px, black-based shadows, ::selection, mono wordmark + stat values, 1px --line borders, 2px brand→cyan hairline under header; busy button keeps #a5b4fc with dark arc (9.7:1)
  • Emoji purge → inline SVG: favicon (504-byte hex+node data-URI), brand mark, banner triangle, empty-state glyphs (both pages); 🧠/🧑 avatars → SVG string constants in app.js (aria-hidden retained)
  • Pure-CSS animated background: body::before 44px grid (35% alpha, radial mask, 60s seamless drift) + body::after indigo/cyan glows (14s breathing), both fixed/z-index:-1/pointer-events:none; prefers-reduced-motion → animation: none (static layers remain)
  • Tests: new tests/e2e/test_dark_tech_theme.py (6 tests), new integration test_ui_chrome_has_no_emoji (4 paths), updated light-palette assertions in test_honest_deflection.py + test_suggestion_chips.py

Verification (exact):

  • uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_dark_tech_theme.py -v --no-cov → 6 passed
  • uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_chat_rag.py -v --no-cov → 3 passed; test_honest_deflection.py → 3 passed; test_responsive_polish.py → 7 passed; smoke+suggestion_chips → 7 passed; import_documents+loading_feedback → 8 passed
  • uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing → 128 passed, app/ 99% (>90%); uv run ruff check . clean; uv run pyright → 0 errors

Decisions: dark bg lives on <html> (canvas) with <body> transparent — an opaque body would paint over the z-index:-1 layers (phase recipe); E2E asserts canvas bg rgb(10, 14, 23) + transparent body. Also updated the two chip-color assertions (brand-soft/brand-ink) the phase didn't list but the reskin would have broken. Owner's pending PLAN.md revisions recorded in the commit; README emoji left (not UI chrome).

Next pending phase: 09_story_retrieval_quality.md.
