# Evaluation — Attempt 2

## Overall Verdict: PASS

## Overall Assessment
The release-blocking admin failure is resolved, and the complete three-surface system now presents a coherent “Apple clarity meets warm sanctuary” identity at desktop, tablet, and mobile sizes. The management command centre is particularly successful as a calm, permission-shaped app launcher; remaining issues are localized polish defects, chiefly the malformed admin mobile dock icons.

## Scores
| Criterion | Score | Status | Weight | Notes |
|-----------|-------|--------|--------|-------|
| Design Quality | 2/3 | PASS | HIGH | All three surfaces now form a cohesive system with disciplined ivory/navy/gold color, strong type hierarchy, consistent geometry, and clear task prioritization. |
| Originality | 2/3 | PASS | HIGH | The sanctuary-light linework, deep-blue service panels, colored icon wells, and church-specific app-grid command centre feel intentionally designed rather than template-derived. |
| Craft | 1/3 | PASS | MEDIUM | Layouts are responsive with no horizontal overflow, spacing and card construction are clean, and touch targets meet the brief. The admin mobile dock has a conspicuous SVG sizing/rendering defect that prevents a higher score. |
| Functionality | 2/3 | PASS | MEDIUM | The authenticated admin portal now returns a complete HTTP 200 page without fatal output; member and check-in pages remain understandable and usable. Some placeholder actions still require backend wiring, as allowed by the implementation brief. |

## What's Working Well
- The admin portal now renders fully after the real legacy login flow, with role identity, metrics, permission-aware modules, service readiness, activity, and quick actions all clearly organized.
- The desktop admin app grid has excellent density and scanability: four balanced columns, distinctive icon wells, useful metadata, and restrained emphasis on Attendance.
- At tablet width, the three-column app grid and two-column metrics use the available space effectively without collapsing prematurely or producing overflow.
- The check-in service messaging is now internally consistent: Wednesday Fruitful Service, the service start time, and “Identity + GPS verification” all describe the same state without falsely claiming an open window.
- Mobile page-bottom clearance has increased, and the dock target heights are now 44 px or greater. Content is not clipped at the end of the document.
- The shared visual system remains strong across management, member, and public contexts while adjusting information density appropriately for each audience.

## Issues Found

### Issue 1: Admin mobile dock icons render as oversized black shapes
- **What**: The five mobile navigation icons appear as large solid-black glyph fragments instead of the restrained outline icons used elsewhere.
- **Where**: `/admin/portal.php` at 375 px, fixed bottom navigation.
- **Why it matters**: This is the most visually prominent element in the mobile viewport and it looks broken, undermining the otherwise polished production quality. The oversized shapes also compete with and partially crowd their labels.
- **Suggested fix**: Scope dock SVG rules explicitly (for example `.mobile-nav__icon svg { width: 22px; height: 22px; fill: none; stroke: currentColor; stroke-width: 1.8; }`) and prevent inherited/global `svg`, `path`, or `use` fill rules from overriding them. Verify all five icons at 320, 375, and 390 px.

### Issue 2: Several admin metrics contain placeholder values inconsistent with live counts
- **What**: The summary shows 1 active member and 1 department, while app tiles claim 1,284 active members and 12 departments; other tiles show invented operational counts such as 216 children and 8 visitors.
- **Where**: Admin summary cards and app-tile metadata.
- **Why it matters**: The brief permits safe demo metrics, but mixing live-looking database totals with conflicting placeholders makes administrators unsure which values are authoritative.
- **Suggested fix**: Clearly label demo metadata, omit it until wired, or derive both summary and tile counts from the same safe source. Never show two different totals for the same entity on one screen.

### Issue 3: Mobile dock still crosses the form card during mid-page reading
- **What**: In the 375 px check-in capture, the fixed dock visually sits over the privacy callout when the primary form occupies the viewport.
- **Where**: Public check-in mobile form card.
- **Why it matters**: Although final page clearance is fixed, validation messages or privacy text can still be obscured at common scroll positions.
- **Suggested fix**: Add `scroll-margin-bottom` to form fields, live regions, alerts, and cards equal to dock height plus safe-area padding; consider reducing the dock’s vertical footprint and raised active-button offset by 4–8 px.

## Priority Fixes for Next Attempt
1. Correct the admin mobile navigation SVG sizing/fill rules; this is the only element that currently looks visibly broken.
2. Reconcile or clearly label admin placeholder metrics so every repeated entity count agrees.
3. Add dock-aware scroll margins for form controls, validation alerts, and privacy/location states.

## Should the next attempt REFINE or PIVOT?
REFINE. The direction is now complete, coherent, and functional across the required surfaces and viewports. The remaining work is focused polish—especially one CSS/SVG defect in the admin mobile dock—not a reason to change the architecture or aesthetic approach.
