TheFlow a2d3b3a01d docs: Add session closedown handoff for 2026-02-11
WCAG AA contrast ratio audit session - 54 fixes across 11 pages,
3 deployments, Lighthouse accessibility score 92 → 100.

Session Closedown - 2026-02-11

NEXT SESSION STARTUP (Step-by-Step)

1. Initialize Session (MANDATORY - BLOCKS WITHOUT LOCAL SERVER)

node scripts/session-init.js

CRITICAL: Run IMMEDIATELY at session start AND after context compaction!

Blocks if: Local server not running on port 9000 Fix:

  1. Open new terminal window
  2. cd /home/theflow/projects/tractatus
  3. npm start
  4. Wait for "Server running on port 9000"
  5. Re-run: node scripts/session-init.js

What session-init validates (must all pass):

  • Local development server on port 9000
  • All 6 framework components operational
  • Framework unit tests passing
  • Token checkpoints reset (50k, 100k, 150k)
  • Instruction history loaded from database
  • MongoDB connection (tractatus_dev)
  • CSP compliance scan
  • Defense-in-depth audit
  • Dependency license check

2. System Validation Checklist

  • node scripts/session-init.js passes all checks
  • Framework services: 6/6 active (ContextPressureMonitor, BoundaryEnforcer, CrossReferenceValidator, MetacognitiveVerifier, InstructionPersistenceClassifier, PluralisticDeliberationOrchestrator)
  • Hooks system configured (validate-file-edit.js, validate-file-write.js, check-token-checkpoint.js)
  • MongoDB running on port 27017 (database: tractatus_dev)
  • Local server on port 9000
  • Production site healthy: https://agenticgovernance.digital

3. Framework Consultation Verification

CRITICAL: Framework consultation count MUST be > 0 if architectural changes are made.

  • Consult Tractatus framework BEFORE making changes to routes, models, middleware, or services
  • Use ff prefix for framework audit on values/trade-off questions
  • Use ffs for framework statistics

4. Context Review Steps

  1. Read this handoff document
  2. Review CLAUDE.md for critical instructions
  3. Check recent git log: git log --oneline -10
  4. Check git status: git status
  5. Review any open plans or in-progress work below

5. Quick Reference

Item Value
Database tractatus_dev (MongoDB port 27017)
App Node.js/Express on port 9000 (systemd, NOT pm2)
Stack Vanilla JS, Tailwind CSS, MongoDB
Deploy ./scripts/deploy.sh
Deploy dry-run ./scripts/deploy.sh --dry-run
Production URL https://agenticgovernance.digital
SSH ssh -i ~/.ssh/tractatus_deploy ubuntu@vps-93a693da.vps.ovh.net

6. Common Issues Troubleshooting

Issue Fix
session-init blocks Start local server: npm start in new terminal
MongoDB not running sudo systemctl start mongod
Deploy fails on uncommitted Use ./scripts/deploy.sh --yes or commit first
Framework fade warning Use framework triggers (ff, ffs) to re-activate
Port 9000 in use lsof -i :9000 to find process, kill if stale

SESSION SUMMARY - 2026-02-11

Work Completed

WCAG AA Contrast Ratio Audit & Fix (All Pages)

Lighthouse audit of the homepage showed Accessibility score of 92/100 due to contrast ratio failures. Fixed all issues and extended fixes across the entire site.

Commit 1: 71706fd - Homepage contrast fixes

6 elements in public/index.html with contrast ratios below WCAG AA 4.5:1 threshold:

  • Line 82: Hero CTA button bg-emerald-500 -> bg-emerald-700, hover:bg-emerald-600 -> hover:bg-emerald-800
  • Line 373: Leader link text-teal-600 -> text-teal-700
  • Line 387: Citation line text-gray-500 -> text-gray-600 (on bg-gray-100)
  • Line 400: Read link text-emerald-600 -> text-emerald-700
  • Line 432: PDF label text-gray-500 -> text-gray-600 (on bg-gray-100)
  • Line 477: Timeline date text-emerald-600 -> text-emerald-700

Commit 2: 4607620 - Script dedup + touch targets

  • Removed duplicate <script src="research-papers-modal.js"> tag from index.html (navbar.js already loads it dynamically), fixing SyntaxError: Identifier 'ResearchPapersModal' has already been declared
  • Improved Koha section touch targets: increased spacing (mt-5 -> mt-8), added inline-block py-2 to transparency link, bumped text-xs -> text-sm
