| 11 | + |
| 12 | +| Phase | Description | Status | |
| 13 | +|-------|-------------|--------| |
| 14 | +| **1.1** | ThemeManager module (`themeManager.js` — 227 lines, singleton pattern, localStorage, system preference detection) | ✅ Done | |
| 15 | +| **1.2** | CSS variables infrastructure (`vars.pcss`, `dark-mode.pcss`) | ✅ Done | |
| 16 | +| **1.3** | App initialization (ThemeManager.init() called first in `app.js` to prevent FOUC) | ✅ Done | |
| 17 | +| **2.1-2.3** | Header toggle button (sun/moon icons in `header.twig`, `themeToggle.js`, header.pcss styles) | ✅ Done | |
| 18 | +| **2.4** | Page component styles (`page.pcss` — all hardcoded colors replaced with CSS variables) | ✅ Done | |
| 19 | +| **2.5** | Sidebar component styles (`sidebar.pcss`, `navigator.pcss` — 4 new CSS variables) | ✅ Done | |
| 20 | +| **2.6** | Button component styles (already using CSS variables, verified + documented) | ✅ Done | |
| 21 | +| **2.7** | Input/Form component styles (`writing.pcss` — 2 hardcoded colors replaced) | ✅ Done | |
| 22 | +| **2.8** | Remaining component styles (sidebar gradient/focus — final 2 hardcoded colors replaced) | ✅ Done | |
| 23 | + |

| 31 | +| **3.2** | Accessibility testing (WCAG AA contrast, keyboard nav, screen reader) | Not Started | |

| 44 | +## Architecture Summary |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +- **Approach:** CSS custom properties + `[data-theme="dark"]` attribute on `<html>` |
| 47 | +- **Persistence:** `localStorage` key `codex-docs-theme`, with `prefers-color-scheme` fallback |
| 48 | +- **Color palette:** VS Code-inspired dark theme (`#1E1E1E` background, `#E0E0E0` text) |
| 49 | +- **No FOUC:** ThemeManager initializes synchronously before other modules |
| 50 | +- **Documentation:** 27 spec/doc files across 9 subdirectories (3 files each: ImplementationSummary, QuickReference, TechnicalDeepDive) |
