Implements the direction agreed from the identity board: Route C ("Cohort")
with the paper ground from C1, the Schibsted Grotesk / Literata pairing from
C2, and the iris accent from C3. Dark theme is in scope from the start rather
than retrofitted.
The audit found three things wrong beyond taste:
* No brand asset set. og:image was absent entirely, so every link shared into
a class WhatsApp group rendered as a bare grey card. apple-touch-icon pointed
at an SVG, which iOS ignores, and the manifest shipped no PNGs, so Android
installs had no icon. The header mark and the favicon had also drifted into
two different logos.
* No colour discipline. --primary and --trend-down were the same coral, so the
main CTA and "below average" shared a hue. 58 distinct hex values were spread
across component CSS, and the chart palette was still Chart.js's stock demo
colours.
* A dark theme that was declared but never built — themeColor announced a dark
variant with no dark styling behind it.
What changed:
Colour now has exactly three jobs that never borrow each other's hues: brand
(iris) for interactive and identity, status (teal/amber) for above/below a
comparison point, and phase for categories. Teal/amber rather than green/red
keeps the above/below signal readable for every form of colour blindness.
Every chromatic literal in component CSS is now a token, and the JS-painted
surfaces (Chart.js, Leaflet) read the tokens through lib/theme so they follow
the theme instead of ignoring it.
The mark is the five-bar cohort spread — the same object as the distribution
strip inside a school row, built from opacity steps so it inverts cleanly.
components/Logo.tsx is the single source; the favicon, apple-icon and share
card all derive from its geometry.
globals.css drops 123 dead global classes left over from the vanilla-JS app
(only the btn family, .skip-link and .main were still referenced), along with
the noise overlay. It also gains prefers-reduced-motion support, which was
missing entirely, and a type scale so the 54 ad-hoc font sizes have somewhere
to converge.
Verified: tsc clean, 159 unit tests pass, production build succeeds and
prerenders /icon.svg, /apple-icon and /opengraph-image. Three e2e journeys
added for the asset set, the themeColor/background match, and the dark theme
actually repainting — all silent failures that nothing on the page reveals.

Amber tag in listing rows (option A) and a slim notice strip under the
detail-page header (option E): proposed for closure, formal process not
necessarily started, check with the local authority before applying.

Live axe-core inventory found 13 failing fg/bg pairs (3.12:1 coral text/
fills, 4.0-4.5 teal near-misses, 2.7 gold badge, 1.9 chart-colour text).
All replacement values validated ≥4.5:1 against every background they
sit on:
- --accent-coral-dark deepened to #b04a2e and used for coral text roles
(nav active, back/map links, kickers, chips) and coral fills under
white text (btn-primary, phase tabs, section-nav compare, chart chips);
new --accent-coral-darker #9c3f26 for their hovers. Decorative coral
(pins, bars, borders, focus ring) keeps the brand #e07256.
- --accent-teal darkened to #296f6f (rankings values, metric rows,
ofsted grades, eyebrows all pass).
- Ofsted green #3c8c3c→#2f7a2f; off-token gold #b8920e→--accent-gold-text.
- Gender-split pink text #b45778→#a04a68; admissions tip numerals to a
3.8:1 muted brown (28px display text).
- New CHART_TEXT_COLORS: AA-dark counterparts of the Chart.js series
palette for compare-card values (swatch dots keep true series colour).

Replace the faint middot separators on the characteristics line with
subtle borderless "quiet chips" so each attribute (type, age, faith,
gender) is its own scannable unit. Keep the coloured phase pill as the
one accent, and align every chip — including phase and provision tags —
to a single size/weight/radius (0.75rem / 600 / 4px).

A school inspected under the OEIF framework after September 2024 has an
inspection on record (ofsted_date set) but no overall_effectiveness grade,
since Ofsted no longer issues an overall judgement. buildOfstedListBadge
had no branch for this and fell through to "Not yet inspected", while the
detail page's hero chip correctly reported it as inspected — so the same
school read two contradictory ways.
Add an "Inspected · YYYY" branch that fires when an inspection is on record
(date or framework present) but no grade and not a Report Card, mirroring
the hero chip's fallback. Genuinely un-inspected schools (all Ofsted fields
null) still show "Not yet inspected". Add an .ofstedInspected badge style
(neutral slate) distinct from the grey pending state, and cover both cases
with tests.

MOB-07: Admissions deadlines strip becomes a horizontal snap-scroller
on ≤640px instead of a cramped 2×2 grid (which forced "Secondary ·
Deadline" track labels down to 9.6px). Cards stay readable, the right
edge fades to signal more content past the viewport, .chipTrack font
bumped to 0.7rem.
MOB-09: Result-card line3 (headline metric + secondary stats) was
crowding everything onto one row. Force the first .stat (Attainment
8 / RWM headline) to flex-basis 100% on mobile so delta-vs-LA and
pupil count wrap below it with a visible row-gap. Applied to both
SchoolRow (primary) and SecondarySchoolRow.
MOB-12: MetricTooltip ⓘ icons rendered at ~9px and relied on :hover
(which doesn't fire on touch). Hide the whole .wrapper at ≤640px —
metric labels themselves carry the meaning. Saves building a
tap-to-show layer for now.
MOB-13: The "Ofsted pending / No inspection on record" empty state
took a full hero card to communicate non-information. Add a
data-ofsted-state attribute on the hero chip; on ≤640px, the
"none" state collapses to a single muted line.
MOB-17: Already had Type+Action columns hidden on rankings mobile —
no change needed beyond marking complete.
MOB-18: Long metric headers ("Reading, Writing & Maths Combined %")
forced the value column wide. Drop .valueHeader to 0.625rem with
white-space: normal at ≤640px so labels wrap onto 2 short lines.

Add coloured left-border and phase label pill to visually differentiate
school phases (Primary, Secondary, All-through, Post-16, Nursery) in
search result lists. Colours are accessible (WCAG AA) and don't clash
with existing Ofsted/trend semantic colours.

1. Simpler home page: only search box on landing, no filter dropdowns
2. Advanced filters: hidden behind toggle on results page, auto-open if active
3. Per-school phase rendering: each row renders based on its own data
4. Taller 4-line rows with context line (type, age range, denomination, gender)
5. Result-scoped filters: dropdown values reflect current search results
6. Fix blank filter values: exclude empty strings and "Not applicable"
7. Rankings: Primary/Secondary phase tabs with phase-specific metrics
8. Compare: Primary/Secondary tabs with school counts and phase metrics
