Week 04 - Jun 8-14, 2026

Focus: Navigation audit close-out and contrast PR preparation

What I did

  • Turned the contrast findings into a small PR plan: default theme palette values, network indicator colors, tests, and no Amigo info-panel change until there is better hardware evidence.
  • Checked a temporary implementation draft before committing to the plan. The draft fixed the Light, CypherPink, and network-color ratios. The Amigo override stayed out of scope after review.
  • Rechecked the navigation work against the current repo and open PRs. That confirmed the safer path: keep navigation in evidence mode for now, and lead implementation with contrast.
  • Added annotated layout evidence and kept the layout finding status unchanged: no critical or high issues.
  • Updated the public progress record so the audit status, screenshots, and contribution plan were easier to review together.

What I found

The contrast work is the cleanest first implementation target. It has numbers, screenshots, a small code surface, and a clear user impact. The Light theme has several strict failures, including network indicators that are too faint on a white background. That is a stronger case than a convenience shortcut.

Navigation is useful, but it is not the best first PR. The menu and touch-handling area still overlaps with maintainer work. I can review and test that work, but I should avoid opening a competing patch unless there is a very specific gap.

Things I noticed

  • Weeks 0-5 now have concrete audit output: contrast scorecards, screenshot evidence, layout findings, navigation triage, and a PR-ready contrast plan.
  • The public site needed the same split as the local audit: PR #879 covers the measurable Light/CypherPink fixes, while Amigo info-panel contrast stays hardware-gated.
  • The next real gate is not code difficulty. It is sign-off on the exact color choices. The data says what fails; the final palette decision should be reviewed before it becomes an upstream PR.

Next week

  • Send the contrast PR plan and exact color changes for mentor review.
  • If the color finding is accepted, implement the focused contrast PR.
  • Keep gathering navigation evidence, but avoid authoring inside the active menu/touch PR cluster.
