fix(brand): give both logo colourways one canvas so the aspect hint is right

LogoMark derived width from a single hardcoded 153/189, taken from mark.png, while mark-on-dark.png was 98×112. Both call sites size the mark with height:100%/width:auto, so the rendered size came out right in the end — but the width/height attributes are the pre-load aspect hint, so the on-dark artwork reserved the wrong box and reflowed on load. Any future call site without that CSS would have rendered it stretched outright. Per-variant attributes would not have fixed it. variant="auto" is a single <img> whose srcset swaps the file underneath it, so one set of attributes has to serve both colourways; the only correct fix is for the two files to share a ratio. They also had different artwork ratios (0.810 against 0.833) and different padding, which the review did not reach: the logo changed size slightly whenever the OS theme flipped. Both are now written onto one 176×208 canvas with the artwork at the same height, centred, so they are drop-in swappable. Measured on the built output, header mark, before → after: light attr 31×38, rendered 30.75×38 → attr 32×38, rendered 32.15×38 dark attr 31×38, rendered 33.25×38 → attr 32×38, rendered 32.15×38 A 2.25px reflow and a cross-theme size jump both become 0.15px of rounding. The share card reads the same file and had its own hardcoded 45×56, which the re-crop would have stretched; it is now 47×56, with a comment tying it to the canvas. The comment on ASPECT records that re-cropping either file means re-normalising both. Verified: tsc clean, 159/159 tests, build green, and both files report naturalWidth 176 × naturalHeight 208 in the browser. |

feat(brand): use the supplied logo artwork instead of a reconstruction

The mark shipped so far was my SVG approximation, and it was wrong: the real mark is a teardrop pin with a white window and a path flowing out of its base, carrying three leaves — not a circle with a separate tail. Both colourways are extracted from the supplied sheet, which has a genuinely transparent background, so these are the artwork rather than a trace: public/brand/mark.png teal pin, white window and path, green leaves public/brand/mark-on-dark.png white pin with the counter knocked through Two colourways are needed, not one. Rendered against every real ground, the teal pin holds up on Warm White, white cards, Sand and both dark-theme grounds — but it vanishes on the teal footer band, where only the white window survives. The header therefore serves the teal artwork and swaps to the on-dark artwork for dark-theme viewers through a <picture> source, needing no JavaScript; the footer forces on-dark, because its band is teal in both themes. Everything downstream now derives from those two files: the favicon (app/icon.png, replacing icon.svg), the touch icon (app/apple-icon.png, replacing the generated apple-icon.tsx), the three PWA rasters, and the share card, which reads public/brand/mark.png off disk so it can never drift from the header. The logo sizing CSS keyed off a square box, which would have squashed a 153:189 artwork — height now drives and width follows. The wordmark stays live text in Manrope. The sheet's wordmark is a raster with visible edge fringing, and the written style guide specifies Manrope; live text also stays selectable, scales cleanly and recolours with the theme. KNOWN LIMITATION: the largest instance on the sheet is 153×189. That is ample for the header at 38px, the favicon and the share card, but short of the 512px PWA icon, which is upscaled and slightly soft. A vector would fix it and is a single swap — every consumer goes through components/Logo.tsx or public/brand. Verified: tsc clean, 159/159 tests, build green, /icon.png and /apple-icon.png emit as static routes, and the header, footer, share card and all five icons were rendered and inspected in both themes. |

feat(brand): adopt the schoolcompare identity across the site

Implements the supplied brand guideline: the pin-and-leaf mark, the lowercase schoolcompare wordmark, Manrope for headings and Inter for everything a person reads a number from, the deep-teal/coral/mustard/sage palette, and the rounder geometry the guideline asks for. The landing hero is rebuilt to the concept: a Sand panel carrying the proposition, the search and a trust line, with the brand landscape bleeding to the panel's right edge, followed by the four value props. Concept vs reality — where the guideline describes something this product does not have, the real feature takes its place and the decision is recorded in a code comment next to it: - The Thriving Score is not implemented. Four of its five sub-scores (pastoral, enrichment, community, facilities) have no source in DfE or Ofsted data, and its band names are Ofsted's own, which would sit beside the real Ofsted grade and be indistinguishable from it. - Guides, About, Favourites and Sign in are not added to the nav — there are no such pages and no accounts system. Rankings and Admissions, which the guideline omits, keep their places because they exist. - The fourth value prop is "Never miss a deadline" rather than "Save & revisit", which would need shortlisting. Two deviations from the supplied swatches, both forced by contrast and both confined to text and fills. Coral #F97360 under a white label measures 2.75:1 against a 4.5 floor, so --action is a darkened #BE3C27 and the original coral survives as --coral for tints, borders and illustration. Mustard #F2C94C is 1.5:1 as text, so --mustard-ink carries labels while --mustard stays exact for fills and rings. Every token clears AA on all three light grounds; Sand is the binding one, so several values sit a step darker than white alone would need. The guideline is light-only, but the site already ships a dark theme, so it is rebuilt from the same tokens rather than dropped. Verified: tsc clean, 159/159 unit tests, production build green, and the generated share card and app icon render from the new mark. The hero and the site chrome were rendered from the compiled CSS and the prerendered markup to confirm Manrope and Inter actually resolve — a font token that silently falls back has shipped here before. |

feat(design): adopt the Cohort identity — new palette, type, mark and dark theme

PR Checks / AI Code Review (Claude) (pull_request) Failing after 3m13s
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.
