**Completed:** 2026-04-25
**Status:** [COMPLETED]
**Milestone:** v1.14.30

---

## Accomplishments

1. **"Industrial Precision" Design System Integrated**
   - Updated `tailwind.config.ts` with the new color palette: Caution Orange (#F58618), Background (#131313), and Surface palette (#0A0A0A, #121212, #1A1A1A).
   - Applied "Space Grotesk" as the primary font family.

2. **Global Style Enforcement**
   - Updated `globals.css` to enforce sharp corners (0px), no shadows, and no bold fonts across the entire application using `!important` overrides.
   - Standardized status chips with high-contrast blocks.

3. **Component-Level Refactoring**
   - Audited and updated 30+ files to remove all `rounded-*`, `shadow-*`, `font-bold`, `font-medium`, and `font-semibold` classes.
   - Standardized Buttons: Primary (Solid Orange/Black text) and Secondary (Transparent/Grey border).
   - Standardized Inputs: Black background with 1px borders, focusing to Caution Orange.

4. **StatCard & Data Table Optimization**
   - Refined StatCards to match numeric value size with label size (AI_RULES compliant) while using color for hierarchy.
   - Refined `InventoryTable` and `LogsTable` for higher information density and technical aesthetic.

5. **Unified Layout & Headers**
   - Standardized page margins to `p-4 md:p-8` and containers to `max-w-7xl`.
   - Implemented unified icon-box headers across all primary routes.
