-# UX / Design Reference — Libra Law Firm
+# UX Design Spec: Libra for Rights — Public-Site Redesign
+**Version:** 2.0
+**Date:** 2026-10-31
+**Status:** Approved (client approved mockup v3 on 2026-10-31)
+**Visual mockup:** `docs/ux-mockup.html` (open in a browser to view; v3, commit `caec396`)
+
+This file has two parts:
+
+- **Part A — Public site (redesign, approved 2026-10-31).** Governs every page rendered through
+  `resources/views/components/layouts/public.blade.php` and the auth layouts' type and controls.
+- **Part B — Dashboards, emails and the Nablus form (unchanged).** The retrospective record of the
+  design system as built before the redesign. It still governs the admin and client dashboards,
+  the emails and `/forms/nablus-workshop`, none of which the redesign touches.
+
+Where Part A and Part B disagree about a public page, Part A wins.
+
+---
+
+# Part A — Public site
+
+## Design Direction
+
+Arabic-first, editorial and quiet: the firm reads like a well-bound legal document, not a tech
+product. The brand palette (forest, gold, cream, olive) is kept and used with more confidence —
+large forest bands, gold as thread and rule, cream as linen. Headlines are set in an editorial
+naskh serif (Markazi Text); body in IBM Plex Sans Arabic. Sections are numbered like articles of
+a statute ("المادة ٠١ — المؤسِّسة"). The signature is an engraved-gold balance over olive-tree
+photography that settles into level on load and is weighed by the visitor's pointer. Tatreez
+appears only inside real photography — Naser ruled out drawn cross-stitch ("drawing using xxx and
+other symbols is more of a tech stuff not lawyers", 2026-10-31). Every claim on the page is backed
+by the code (code-fit check, 2026-10-31): no availability promises, no response-time promises, no
+article images.
+
+**Layout default:** desktop-first; every layout works at 768px and 390px with no horizontal scroll.
+
+**Scope:** public pages only — home `/`, about `/about`, posts `/posts` and `/posts/{post}`,
+booking `/booking` and `/booking/success`, legal `/page/{slug}` (terms, privacy), and the auth
+pages (type and controls only, see *Auth pages*). Out of scope: admin and client dashboards,
+emails, PDFs, `/forms/nablus-workshop`.
+
+## Layout & Navigation
+
+- **Containment.** The public layout no longer wraps pages in one padded 1200px container; each
+  page section is full-bleed and places its own content in a `.wrap` container:
+  `max-width: 1200px; margin-inline: auto; padding-inline: 28px` (18px at ≤760px).
+- **Section rhythm.** Standard section padding 120px top and bottom (80px at ≤760px). Section
+  header (`.sec-head`): flex row, items aligned to the end, space-between, gap 32px, wrap,
+  margin-bottom 54px; left side holds the article label and h2, right side a muted lede
+  (max-width 30em).
+- **Article label** (`.art-no`): display font, 1.15rem, weight 600, `--gold-ink`. Format
+  `المادة ٠N — <name>` / `Article 0N — <Name>` (Arabic-Indic digits in Arabic).
+- **Eyebrow** (`.eyebrow`): 0.82rem, weight 600, `--gold-ink`, preceded by a 22×2px rule in
+  currentColor with 10px gap; in English 0.74rem, uppercase, letter-spacing .16em. Arabic text
+  never gets letter-spacing (it breaks joining).
+- **Navigation** (sticky, top 0, z 50, height 72px): background `rgba(244,241,234,.82)` with
+  `backdrop-filter: blur(14px) saturate(1.2)`; bottom border transparent until the page has
+  scrolled more than 8px, then `1px solid var(--line)` plus shadow `0 8px 24px -18px
+  rgba(30,34,25,.5)`. Order (start → end): brand (seal + wordmark), links, then tools (language
+  toggle, client login, gold "Book a consultation" button). Links: Home, About, Services (→
+  `/#services`), Articles (→ `/posts`), Booking (→ `/booking`). Link style: 10px 14px padding,
+  weight 500, .95rem; hover colour `--olive`; a 2px dashed gold underline (4px dash, 3px gap)
+  scales in from the inline-start edge on hover and stays on the current page's link
+  (`aria-current="page"`). Logged-in visitors see "Dashboard" (to their role's dashboard) and
+  "Log out" in place of "Client login", as today.
+- **Brand mark:** a 46×46px "seal" — `public/images/logo.png` as a cover background on white,
+  2px solid `#1A1A1A` border, shadow `3px 3px 5px rgba(26,26,26,.35)` — followed by the wordmark:
+  «ليبرا» (display font, 1.35rem) over «للحقوق» (.72rem, muted). English: "Libra" over
+  "FOR RIGHTS" (letter-spacing .12em).
+- **Mobile (≤1100px):** links hide; a 44×44px menu button (1.5px `--line` border, radius 10px,
+  white) opens the existing Alpine mobile menu, restyled as a cream sheet below the nav with
+  full-width 48px rows. At ≤760px the nav's gold button and the client-login link also hide (both
+  remain inside the sheet).
+- **Reading progress rule:** a fixed 2px bar at the very top of the viewport (z 60), gradient
+  `#8A7555 → #E2CDA4 → #A68966`, `transform: scaleX(p)` where p = scrollY / (scrollHeight −
+  innerHeight); origin is the inline-start edge (right in RTL, left in LTR). Decorative
+  (`aria-hidden`).
+- **Footer:** background `--forest-2` (#232A1C), text `--gold-lt`, margin-top 120px, padding 72px 0
+  28px, .92rem. A 1px top hairline: horizontal gradient transparent → `rgba(196,168,130,.7)` →
+  transparent. Four columns (1.4fr 1fr 1fr 1fr, gap 40px; 2 columns ≤1100px; 1 column ≤760px):
+  (1) brand mark with cream wordmark and the tagline «ملتزمون بالعدالة – متجذرون بالكرامة – مدفوعون
+  للدفاع»; (2) "Explore": About, Services, Articles, Booking; (3) "Clients": Client login, Terms of
+  use, Privacy policy; (4) "Contact": phone (LTR), email, address. Column headings: display font,
+  1.15rem, cream. Links: 10px vertical padding, hover → cream and a 3px nudge toward the
+  inline-start. Bottom row: copyright, top border `rgba(244,241,234,.1)`, .8rem. No photography
+  credit line.
+
+## Visual Style
+
+### Color Palette
+
+| Token | Hex | Use |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--forest` | `#2D3624` | hero frame ground, pillar band, booking card, hover fill of service rows |
+| `--forest-2` | `#232A1C` | footer only (depth) |
+| `--gold` | `#A68966` | gold buttons, rules, row numbers, focus ring |
+| `--gold-ink` | `#8A7555` | gold text on cream (labels, dates) |
+| `--gold-lt` | `#C4A882` | small gold text on forest |
+| `--cream` | `#F4F1EA` | page ground |
+| `--olive` | `#4A5D23` | link hover, emphasis word in the hero, active accents |
+| `--ink` | `#1E2219` | body and heading text |
+| `--muted` | `#5B6152` | secondary text |
+| `--line` | `rgba(45,54,36,.14)` | hairlines and borders |
+| fabric ground | `#ECE7DC` | background of the Vision section |
+
+The palette is the brand's own (`docs/brand.md`); `--ink`, `--muted`, `--forest-2` and the fabric
+ground are darker/lighter steps of it, added for contrast and depth. Status colours (success,
+danger, warning) are unchanged from Part B.
+
+**Page ground:** `--cream` with a linen weave —
+`repeating-linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(45,54,36,.025) 0 1px, transparent 1px 3px),
+repeating-linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(45,54,36,.022) 0 1px, transparent 1px 4px)`.
+
+**Shadows:** `--shadow-1: 0 1px 2px rgba(30,34,25,.06), 0 4px 14px rgba(30,34,25,.06)`;
+`--shadow-2: 0 2px 4px rgba(30,34,25,.08), 0 18px 40px -12px rgba(30,34,25,.28)`.
+**Easing:** `--ease: cubic-bezier(.2,.7,.2,1)`. **Radius:** cards 16px, buttons and chips 999px,
+inputs 12px.
+
+### Typography
+
+- **Display** (h1–h3, article labels, blockquotes, numbers): **Markazi Text**, weights 400–700,
+  fallback `"Times New Roman", serif`. Headings weight 700, line-height 1.25.
+- **Body and UI:** **IBM Plex Sans Arabic**, weights 300–600, fallback `system-ui, sans-serif`.
+  17px, line-height 1.75 (16px at ≤760px). Both families carry Latin glyphs, so English uses the
+  same two families.
+- Loaded from Google Fonts with `display=swap`, on the public and auth layouts only. The dashboards
+  keep Cairo/Montserrat.
+- Sizes: hero h1 `clamp(2.6rem, 4.6vw, 4.1rem)`, line-height 1.12, word-spacing .08em (English:
+  letter-spacing −.02em); section h2 `clamp(2rem, 3.4vw, 3rem)`; row h3 1.65rem; card h3 1.4rem;
+  post h3 1.35rem; lede 1.15rem.
+
+### Tone & Style
+
+Editorial, warm, unhurried. Real photography only (olive tree, embroidery on a hoop, olives,
+hills, the founder's portrait). No drawn cross-stitch, no gradient blobs, no carousels. Depth comes
+from layered shadows, gold hairlines and the engraved balance.
+
+### Buttons
+
+- **Gold** (`.btn-gold`): pill (radius 999px), min-height 48px, padding 12px 26px, weight 600,
+  background `--gold`, text `--ink`, shadow `0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.35) inset, 0 8px 22px -8px
+  rgba(166,137,102,.8)`. Hover: lift 2px, deeper glow plus a 6px `rgba(166,137,102,.14)` halo, and
+  a white shimmer (105° gradient, 30–70%) sweeps across in .7s.
+- **Ghost** (`.btn-ghost`): transparent, 1.5px inset `--forest` ring, text `--ink`. Hover: fills
+  `--forest`, text cream, lift 2px. On dark grounds: cream text and a `rgba(244,241,234,.6)` ring;
+  hover fills cream with forest text.
+- An arrow icon inside a button nudges 4px toward the reading direction on hover; it is mirrored
+  in LTR.
+- Focus (all controls): `outline: 2px solid var(--gold); outline-offset: 3px`.
+
+## Key Screens / Flows
+
+### Home `/`
+
+Top to bottom (content is real; copy keys are listed in the tasks):
+
+1. **Hero** — two columns (1fr : 1.08fr, gap 56px; one column ≤1100px). Start column: eyebrow
+   «ليبرا للحقوق · فلسطين»; h1 «العدالة *ممارسةٌ يومية*، لا مبدأٌ نظري.» with the emphasised phrase
+   in `--olive` and a dashed gold underline; lede (the existing `home.intro`); gold "Book a
+   consultation" (→ `#book`) and ghost "Our services" (→ `#services`); a trust strip of three
+   items separated from the CTAs by a hairline: «أفراد وشركات / استشارات وتمثيل», «المرأة والأسرة /
+   دعم قانوني متخصص», «عربي · English / خدمة بلغتين». End column: the **balance frame** (see
+   Signature Moment): an arched frame (aspect 4:4.6, radius 999px 999px 18px 18px) holding the
+   olive-tree photo under a forest gradient veil, a soft gold glow, the gold balance, and the
+   italic caption «لكلّ حقٍّ وزنُه». A cream tag with a pulsing olive dot overlaps the frame edge:
+   «استشارات حضورية أو عن بُعد».
+2. **Pillars band** — full-bleed forest band, three columns divided by cream hairlines: Justice,
+   Dignity, Advocacy, each with a gold gem (12px rotated square) and a one-line gloss in
+   `--gold-lt`. Hover lightens the column background.
+3. **Founder** (Article 01) — portrait (aspect 4:5, radius 18px, greyscale, an inset dashed gold
+   frame, a cream name card «هدى عرموش / المؤسِّسة · محامية»), h2 «تعرّف على المؤسِّسة», a pull
+   quote «العدالة ممارسة يومية، وليست مجرد مبدأ نظري.» (display font, gold inline-start rule), the
+   two bio paragraphs, and a ghost "Read our story" → `/about`. Hover on the portrait restores some
+   colour and scales it 3%.
+4. **Services docket** (Article 02) — four rows, each a link to `#book`: big gold number, title,
+   chips of the service's items, a round arrow button. Hover: the row fills forest, text turns
+   cream, chips go gold-light, the arrow fills gold, a dashed gold inner border appears, lift 2px.
+5. **Vision** (Article 03, fabric ground `#ECE7DC`) — text column (h2 «منسوجةٌ من نسيج المجتمع»
+   and a display-font paragraph) beside the embroidery-hoop photo (circular, two gold ring
+   shadows). Below it, three cards: "For our institution" (forest panel with a static balance),
+   "For society" (olives photo), "For Palestinians in the diaspora" (hills photo); each with an
+   italic label on the image, a title and one line.
+6. **Values** (Article 04) — six cards in a row (3 ≤1100px, 2 ≤760px): a gold-ringed medallion
+   with a fine-line icon, and the value name. Hover: card lifts and tilts −0.6°, the medallion
+   rotates −8°, gains a gold glow, the icon turns olive.
+7. **Latest articles** (Article 05) — the three most recent published posts as text-only cards
+   (date, title, excerpt, "Read more"), gold top border turning olive on hover, a large faint
+   quotation mark in the corner; "View all articles" ghost button → `/posts`. No post → the
+   existing "Articles coming soon" line in place of the grid.
+8. **Booking card** (Article 06, `id="book"`) — one rounded (28px) forest card in two columns:
+   start panel with h2 "Book a consultation", the lede «اختر يوماً ووقتاً متاحَين، وأخبرنا باختصار
+   عن قضيتك. نراجع كل طلب ونؤكّد الموعد بالبريد الإلكتروني — دون الحاجة إلى حساب.», phone, email,
+   address, and the finale balance (190px); end panel is a cream inset form (see *Booking flow*).
+
+### Booking flow (home card and `/booking`)
+
+Both surfaces run the existing guest-booking component and its rules unchanged: name, email,
+phone (all required), a case summary (required, minimum 20 characters), the math captcha, one
+booking per email per day, slots from `AvailabilityService`, the existing confirm step, and the
+redirect to `/booking/success`. Logged-in visitors see the existing "you are logged in" message,
+restyled, in place of the form.
+
+- **Home card (compact):** fields in this order — name and phone side by side, email, a **day
+  strip**, a **slot row**, the case summary, the captcha, the gold submit "Request this
+  appointment" (full width), and the note «ملاحظة: يمكنك حجز استشارة واحدة كحدّ أقصى في اليوم.».
+  The day strip shows the next 14 calendar days that have at least one available slot, as
+  66×72px buttons (weekday name over the day number), horizontally scrollable; the first is
+  pre-selected. Selected day: forest fill, cream number. The slot row shows that day's available
+  slots as pill buttons (min-height 44px); selected slot: gold fill. Both use `aria-pressed`.
+  Submit opens the existing confirm step inside the same card (summary of date, time and contact,
+  with Confirm and Back).
+- **`/booking` page:** the same two-panel forest card, full page; the end panel keeps the month
+  calendar (the existing component, restyled: cream ground, 44px day cells, selected day forest,
+  available days with a gold dot, unavailable days muted), then the fields and confirm step.
+- **Inputs:** min-height 48px, padding 12px 16px, radius 12px, 1.5px border `rgba(45,54,36,.18)`,
+  white; focus: border `--gold` plus a 4px `rgba(166,137,102,.2)` ring. Labels .85rem, weight 600.
+  Errors: the existing message under the field, in the danger colour.
+- **`/booking/success`:** a centred cream card on the linen ground with a small level balance, the
+  existing success copy and a ghost button home.
+
+### About `/about`
+
+The same system, existing content only (no new copy beyond section labels): hero (eyebrow, h1
+from `about.title`, the tagline, the identity statement), Vision and Mission (the fabric section
+pattern; the three mission cards with the olives, hills and static-balance panels), Values (the
+medallion row), Goals (a numbered docket list: gold display numbers, no chips, no links), Legal
+services (the docket rows, linking to `/booking`), closing gold CTA to `/booking`.
+
+### Articles `/posts` and `/posts/{post}`
+
+- **Index:** page head (article label, h2 "Articles"), the existing search field restyled as a
+  pill input, the text-only post cards in a three-column grid (2 ≤1100px, 1 ≤760px), the existing
+  pagination restyled (pill buttons, current page forest).
+- **Show:** a reading column max-width 720px; date in `--gold-ink`; title in the display font
+  `clamp(2rem, 3.4vw, 3rem)`; body in the existing prose styles with headings in the display font
+  and links in `--olive`; a "Back to articles" ghost button.
+
+### Legal pages `/page/{slug}`
+
+Reading column max-width 720px, display-font title, existing prose body.
+
+### Auth pages (login, forgot/reset password, confirm password, verify email)
+
+Type and controls only: the auth layouts load the two new families and apply the input, focus and
+gold-button styles above. The split composition (forest panel with the logo, cream form panel) and
+the existing auth pattern stay as they are.
+
+## Signature Moment
+
+**Element:** an engraved-gold balance (scales of justice) drawn as layered SVG — gradient-filled
+beam, pillar, olive-leaf finial, base and two pans with a drop shadow — standing over the
+olive-tree photograph in the hero frame. A second instance (the "finale", 190px) sits in the
+booking card; a static instance fills the "For our institution" card.
+**Built from:** the firm's own name — Libra, the balance — and the olive tree of the region; the
+photograph is real.
+**Trigger:** page load; pointer movement over the hero frame (fine pointers only); scroll position
+for the finale.
+**Mapping:**
+- Load: the hero beam starts tilted 14° and, after 450ms, a damped spring settles it to 0°
+  (per frame: `v += (target − a) × 0.028; v ×= 0.935; a += v`; stop when |v| < 0.002 and
+  |target − a| < 0.01).
+- Pointer: x = (clientX − frame.left) / frame.width; target = clamp((x − 0.5) × 2.4, −1, 1) × 9°.
+  The gold glow follows the pointer; the photo pans opposite the pointer by
+  `(pointer − centre) / −40` px at scale 1.08. Pointer leave → target 0°, photo resets.
+- Pans hang from the beam ends: for beam angle θ, pan centres are at (200 ∓ 142·cos θ,
+  110 ∓ 142·sin θ) in the 400×400 viewBox, so they stay vertical while the beam tips.
+- Finale: with p the page progress, q = clamp((p − 0.7) / 0.25, 0, 1); target = −12° × (1 − q), so
+  the balance comes level as the reader reaches the booking card.
+**Tech suggestion:** an inline SVG Blade component and a small vanilla JS module
+(`requestAnimationFrame`); no library.
+**Reduced-motion fallback:** all balances render level (0°), no spring, no pointer response, no
+glow movement; the photo stays still.
+
+## Interaction Patterns (secondary)
+
+- **Entrance choreography:** elements marked `data-reveal` start at opacity 0 and translateY 28px
+  and transition (.9s, `--ease`) to rest when 8% inside the viewport (IntersectionObserver,
+  `rootMargin: 0px 0px -8% 0px`, observe once). Delays by `data-d` 1–5: .08s steps. Content stays
+  visible if JavaScript fails (the hidden state applies only once the script adds a `js` class).
+- **Hover depth:** cards lift 6px with `--shadow-2` and a gold border `rgba(166,137,102,.55)`;
+  card images scale 1.05–1.06 over .8s.
+- **Language toggle:** the existing `/language/{locale}` route; a 48×44px pill showing "EN" in
+  Arabic and "ع" in English.
+- **Reduced motion:** `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` disables every animation and
+  transition on the public pages and shows all `data-reveal` content at rest.
+- **Touch targets:** every interactive element at least 44×44px.
+- **RTL/LTR:** logical properties throughout; arrows and the progress rule's origin mirror.
+
+## Design Decisions & Rationale
+
+- **Markazi Text + IBM Plex Sans Arabic** — Amiri's calligraphic ligatures broke in large
+  headlines; Markazi is an editorial naskh with a matching Latin serif (brand.md asks for a serif
+  headline); Plex Arabic is highly legible at body size. Two families total.
+- **Balance over olive photography, no drawn tatreez** — Naser rejected the cross-stitch drawings
+  as "tech stuff"; the balance is the firm's name and reads as law at a glance.
+- **Article numbering** — frames the firm's content in the language of a statute; costs nothing.
+- **Text-only article cards** — posts have no image field (code-fit check); no images are promised.
+- **Copy limited to what the code backs** — no availability or response-time claims; booking copy
+  is drawn from the existing lang strings.
+- **Public-only scope** — the dashboards share global tokens and `.btn` classes; the redesign is
+  scoped to the public layout so no dashboard screen changes.
+- **Compact booking on the home page** — the client approved a one-screen form; it reuses the same
+  component and rules, so the backend does not change.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+None blocking. Rulings taken for the build (ledger, 2026-10-31):
+
+1. **Photography** — the mockup's four Unsplash photos (olive tree, embroidery hoop, olives, hills)
+   ship as the production images; the Unsplash licence allows commercial use without attribution.
+   The client may replace them later with their own.
+2. **Home day strip** — the next 14 calendar days with an available slot; `/booking` keeps the
+   month calendar.
+3. **Pages the mockup does not show** (about, articles, booking page, success, legal) — composed
+   from the homepage's components with their existing content; no new sections.
+4. **Auth pages** — type and controls only; composition unchanged.

+# Part B — Dashboards, emails and the Nablus form (pre-redesign record)

 Retrospective documentation of the design system as it is currently **built and live**. This
 is not a proposal — it describes what shipped, so a dev/QA agent picking up a new task can match
