Closes #822

Builds on #860 (merged as 6c83c5c), which landed the MUI theme bridge and the decision record this doc builds on.

Why

Sequence step 1 of the SPA revamp. Nothing else on #674 starts until the design exists, and the epic's own issue texts are stale in ways that change the work: no role renders an 18-link sidebar, the dialog family is 996 lines rather than 640, MUI 9.4 ships no NumberField, and the Inter opsz axis the epic says costs nothing is not loaded at all (+118.9 KiB when it is). The doc verifies every such claim at the base commit and decides the component map, layout system, IA, whole-app baseline, identity direction and slice cut so that #823 to #836, #740 and #50 can each be cut from it alone.

Scope

  • docs/designs/822-mui-revamp.md: fact base, walked inventories, decisions D1 to D10, guards G1 and G2 with mutation rows, the slice cut in order, and §7 collecting the product calls for the owner with a named alternative each.
  • docs/plans/822-mui-revamp/synthesis.md: how the doc was produced and what the grill changed.
  • Out of scope: any code. The record amendment lands with web: settle the whole-app MUI baseline (CssBaseline, type, spacing, elevation) #823, per the issue.

Tradeoffs

Owner review rows rather than decisions where the call is a product one: CssBaseline, the 8px spacing scale, the More sheet component, the NumberField alternative, full-screen phone dialogs, the link colour source, the precache ceiling, and the daily-entry footer stacking. Each names the alternative so the choice is decidable at its slice.

Blast Radius

Documentation only. The changes job classifies it as such and skips web and image. Nothing the doc says is enforced until #823/#824 ship the guards it specifies.

Verification

  • Three independent drafts against one brief, cross-judged on a fourth model, merged by hand. Recorded in the synthesis file.
  • Grill: three adversarial reviewers, 33 findings, each re-verified against styles.css, the test files and @mui/material@9.4.0 before it changed the doc. Two consensus criticals were real and are fixed: an outlined Paper default would have flattened every float, and Autocomplete's popover had no default elevation to map. One finding dismissed with the code line that refutes it.
  • No em-dash in either file; no bare postgres: tag (the fix(api): order same-instant audit events by a durable monotonic key, not a random Guid #508 tracked-file pin).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified implementation details in the MUI revamp design documentation, including responsive layout behavior, loading controls, toolbar testing, styling, and screenshot requirements.
    • Added a synthesis record documenting the design review process, evaluated alternatives, verified findings, and resulting decisions.

The PR only documents the revamp, so this does not affect current runtime behavior, but correcting the ownership prevents a future conversion from retiring validation too early.

Explanation

The documentation addresses the coding requirements in #822. It provides pairwise component mappings, layout direction, the planned styles.css survivors, information architecture, phone navigation, and direction for the three #656 identity questions. It also records the contrarian review and acted-on findings in docs/plans/822-mui-revamp/synthesis.md. However, the design selects CssBaseline for #823, while docs/decisions/674-ui-component-library.md still states that FarmThemeProvider must not render CssBaseline. #822 requires an amendment when the design changes a recorded decision. The reviewed head contains no amendment.

- Line 17: Escape the pipe character in the inline grep command within the
Markdown table cell so Markdown parsers keep the command in a single cell,
preserving the table’s column structure.
- Line 174: Update the Autocomplete integration around NamedEntityPicker to use
a custom slots.paper component that renders the received paper children first
and the Load more footer afterward; do not rely on slotProps.paper to append
content. Preserve the footer as a sibling outside the role="listbox" element,
while keeping the existing live region and listbox option-only accessibility
behavior.
- Line 199: Update the D3.1 Container specification to use a supported maxWidth
configuration: use maxWidth={false} with sx maxWidth set to 1120, or reference a
named breakpoint configured with that value, while preserving the intended
1120px content width.
- Line 289: Update the screenshot-capture documentation around the gh pr comment
--attach workflow to state that GitHub CLI v2.99.0 or newer is required. If
supporting older CLI versions, document the approved fallback workflow instead.
- Line 160: Add content to the conversion exception list as an expiring class,
noting that `#833` will remove the remaining .content rules; update G1 to include
the same content exception.
- Line 244: Update the ownership assignment for the AuditPage.test.tsx rewrite
so it belongs to `#833`, matching AuditPage.tsx remaining on .toolbar until that
slice; keep the shared FilterBar test updates assigned to `#831`.
- Line 215: Update the phone-specific DialogActions override in the design
guidance to set alignItems: stretch alongside flexDirection: column, ensuring
its flexed button children fill the available width. Leave the .actions and
.entry-foot-row behavior unchanged because they already stretch on the cross
axis.

Review loop stopped deliberately after two consecutive CodeRabbit rounds whose findings were all documentation consistency (round 1: 7, round 2: 1), per the repo's rule 7. All threads are answered and resolved; the last fix is f777c75. The "changes requested" state is from the earlier round; dismiss it or ask for a final round as you prefer.
