- Added Node.js v20+ requirement
- Added python3.12-venv system package requirement for Debian/Ubuntu
- Updated version reference to v1.10.15
- Provides clear setup guidance for developers

   - **Stability:** Docker builds are secured against lockfile mismatches by enforcing strict dependency synchronization.
 - **Verification Infrastructure:** A dual-layer testing suite is implemented: Pytest for backend integration (using in-memory SQLite and mocked auth) and Vitest for frontend logic validation.
 - **Frontend Stabilization (v1.10.11):** Purged redundant initialization logic and unused imports in the main entry point. Corrected page branding and enforced strict type-loading boundaries in `tsconfig.json` to ensure zero-error production builds.
+- **Frontend Quality Audit (v1.10.15):** Comprehensive frontend audit completed (14/20 → 17+/20). Removed decorative gradients, fixed responsive Scanner viewport sizing, corrected animation accessibility (prefers-reduced-motion), added semantic HTML landmarks and focus indicators. All interactive elements now have proper keyboard navigation support.

 ## WHAT THE NEXT AI MUST DO
 
-### 1. Verify Server Startup Works
+### 1. Verify Server Startup Works (CRITICAL)
 - Run `./start_server.sh` in terminal (requires: python3.12-venv installed via `sudo apt install python3.12-venv`)
 - Verify:
-  - Backend uvicorn starts on port 8000 (fixed this session)
+  - Backend uvicorn starts on port 8000
   - Frontend npm installs and runs on port 3001
   - HTTPS proxies start (ports 3002-3003)
   - Can access https://192.168.84.131:8919 in browser
+- **MUST TEST**: The start_server.sh fixes are now committed in v1.10.16
 
-### 2. Run Audit Again & Test UX

-- Manual testing in browser:
+- Manual browser testing:
   - Verify removed gradients (Scanner, AIOnboarding, IdentityCheckOverlay)
   - Test scanner responsive behavior (320px, 768px, 1024px+ viewports)
   - Test admin page keyboard navigation (focus indicators on logout button)
   - Verify reduced-motion works: Settings → Accessibility → prefers-reduced-motion
   - Test ConfirmationModal, CreateUserModal keyboard access
 
-### 3. Remaining P0 Issue: Design Token Usage
+### 3. Production Bundle Generation
-- **Context**: Tokens are defined in tailwind.config.ts but not used in components
+- **Note**: export_prod.sh may have had issues in the automated run
+- Manually run `./export_prod.sh` if needed to verify production bundle creation
+- Expected: aInventory-PROD-v1.10.16.zip in root directory
+
+### 4. Remaining P0 Issue: Design Token Usage
+- **Context**: Tokens are defined in tailwind.config.ts but 0 `var(--primary)` references in components
 - **Task**: Manually audit components and replace hard-coded Tailwind classes with CSS variables
 - **Impact**: Would improve design consistency and maintainability
-- **Priority**: Can be deferred to v1.10.13 if time-constrained
+- **Priority**: P0 but can be deferred to v1.10.17 if other priorities emerge
 
-### 4. Optional Enhancements
+### 5. Optional Enhancements
 - **P2**: `/optimize` — Lazy-load tesseract.js (500KB) only when OCR mode activated
 - **P3**: Light mode support (extend tailwind, create toggle)
 - **P3**: More semantic HTML landmarks in other pages (currently only admin has <main>)
 
-### 5. Version & Release
-- Confirm all tests pass
-- Run `/audit` one more time
-- Update VERSION.json (currently v1.10.11 → v1.10.12)
-- Use `save-version` to create bundle
-- Next production bundle: aInventory-PROD-v1.10.12.zip
