-You are operating inside an automated loop extending a pathway analysis application with drug-aware indication matching. Each iteration you receive fresh context — you have NO memory of previous iterations. Your only memory is the filesystem.
+You are operating inside an automated loop maintaining an NHS patient pathway analysis tool built with Dash (Plotly) + Dash Mantine Components. Each iteration you receive fresh context — you have NO memory of previous iterations. Your only memory is the filesystem.
 
-**Current Focus**: Update indication charts so that patient indications are matched **per drug**, not just per patient. Each drug must be validated against the patient's GP diagnoses AND the drug-to-indication mapping from DimSearchTerm.csv.
+**Current Focus**: Maintain and enhance the Dash application in `dash_app/`. The backend (`src/`) provides shared data access and visualization functions. The design target is `01_nhs_classic.html`.
 
 ## First Actions Every Iteration
 
 Read these files in this order before doing anything else:
 
-1. `progress.txt` — What previous iterations accomplished, what's blocked, and what to do next. The most recent entry is most important.
-2. `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` — Task list with status markers, project overview, and completion criteria.

+2. `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` — Task list with status markers, architecture overview, and completion criteria.

-4. `CLAUDE.md` — Project architecture and code patterns.
+4. `CLAUDE.md` — Project architecture and backend code patterns.
 
 Then run `git log --oneline -5` to see recent commits.
 
+## Reading the Design Reference
+
+**When building ANY UI component**, read `01_nhs_classic.html` first:
+- It contains the exact CSS classes, HTML structure, and visual layout you must replicate
+- CSS lives in the `<style>` block (lines 8-314) — this becomes `dash_app/assets/nhs.css`
+- HTML structure (lines 316-480+) shows the component hierarchy and class usage
+- Match the design as closely as possible — `className` in Dash = `class` in HTML
+
+**When building data loading or chart callbacks**, reference the shared functions in `src/`:
+- `src/data_processing/pathway_queries.py`: `load_initial_data()` and `load_pathway_nodes()` — shared query functions
+- `src/visualization/plotly_generator.py`: `create_icicle_from_nodes()` — icicle chart from list-of-dicts
+- `dash_app/data/queries.py`: Thin wrapper calling shared functions with correct DB path
+- The original logic is archived in `archive/pathways_app/pathways_app.py` for reference.
+
 ## Narration
 
 Narrate your work as you go. Your output is the only visibility the operator has into what's happening. For every significant action, explain what you're doing and why:
 
-- **Reading files**: "Reading progress.txt to check what the last iteration accomplished..."
-- **Creating code**: "Adding assign_drug_indications() function to diagnosis_lookup.py..."
-- **Debugging**: "Drug matching returned 0 results for ADALIMUMAB. Checking DimSearchTerm lookup..."
-- **Testing**: "Running import check to verify the new function is accessible..."
-- **Making decisions**: "The guardrails say to use substring matching for drug fragments."
-- **Committing**: "Committing drug-indication matching logic."
+- **Reading files**: "Reading 01_nhs_classic.html to get CSS classes for the header component..."

 ## Task Selection
 
-You have flexibility to choose which task to work on. Use your judgement, but document your reasoning.
-
 1. Read ALL tasks in IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md — understand the full picture
 2. Skip any marked `[x]` (complete) or `[B]` (blocked)
 3. Check progress.txt for guidance — the previous iteration may have recommendations
 4. **Choose a task** based on:
-   - Dependencies (some tasks require others to be done first)
-   - Logical flow (query changes before matching logic, matching before pipeline integration)
-   - Your assessment of what would be most valuable to tackle next
-   - Previous iteration's recommendations (consider but don't blindly follow)
-5. **Document your reasoning**: Before starting work, briefly explain WHY you chose this task over others
+   - Dependencies (scaffolding before components, components before callbacks)
+   - Logical flow (Phase 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5)
+   - Previous iteration's recommendations
+5. **Document your reasoning**: Before starting, explain WHY you chose this task
 6. Mark your chosen task `[~]` (in progress) in IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
 
-If your chosen task turns out to be blocked during work:
-- Mark it `[B]` with a reason in IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
+If your chosen task is blocked:
+- Mark it `[B]` with a reason
 - Document the blocker in progress.txt
-- Move to a different ready task within this same iteration
+- Move to a different ready task
 
 ## Development
 
 Work on ONE task per iteration. Build incrementally and verify as you go.
 
-### Key Concepts
+### Key Technologies
 
-**Drug-Indication Matching Flow:**
-1. Get patient's GP-matched Search_Terms from Snowflake (ALL matches, not just most recent, with code_frequency)
-   - Only count GP codes from MIN(Intervention Date) onwards (the HCD data window)
-2. Load DimSearchTerm.csv to get which drugs belong to which Search_Terms
-3. For each patient-drug pair: intersection of (Search_Terms listing this drug) AND (patient's GP matches)
-   - If multiple matches: pick highest code_frequency (most GP coding = most likely indication)
-4. Modify UPID to include matched indication: `{UPID}|{search_term}`
-5. Drugs sharing the same indication for the same patient → same modified UPID → same pathway
-6. Drugs under different indications → different modified UPIDs → separate pathways
+- **Dash 2.x**: `from dash import Dash, html, dcc, Input, Output, State, callback_context, ALL`
+- **Dash Mantine Components 0.14.x**: `import dash_mantine_components as dmc` — needs `dmc.MantineProvider` wrapping the layout
+- **Plotly**: `import plotly.graph_objects as go` — for the icicle chart
+- **SQLite**: `import sqlite3` — read-only access to `data/pathways.db`
+- **CSS**: All in `dash_app/assets/nhs.css` — auto-served by Dash
 
-**DimSearchTerm.csv:**
-- `Search_Term`: Clinical condition (e.g., "rheumatoid arthritis")
-- `CleanedDrugName`: Pipe-separated drug fragments (e.g., "ADALIMUMAB|GOLIMUMAB|...")
-- `PrimaryDirectorate`: The directorate for this condition
-- Drug matching: check if any fragment is a substring of the HCD drug name (case-insensitive)
+### Dash Component Patterns
 
-**Modified UPID Format:**
-- Original: `RMV12345` (Provider Code[:3] + PersonKey)
-- Modified: `RMV12345|rheumatoid arthritis`
-- Fallback: `RMV12345|RHEUMATOLOGY (no GP dx)`
-- The existing pathway analyzer treats UPID as an opaque identifier — this works transparently
-
-### Code Patterns
-
-- **Snowflake queries**: Use parameterized queries, embed the cluster CTE from CLUSTER_MAPPING_SQL
-- **GP record matching**: Return ALL matches per patient (not just most recent)
-- **Drug mapping**: Load from `data/DimSearchTerm.csv`, match drug name fragments
-- **Pathway pipeline**: Use existing functions — modified UPIDs flow through naturally
-- **Reflex state**: No changes expected — indication charts already work, just with better matching
-
-### Key Data Structures
-
-**GP Matches (from Snowflake) — updated to return ALL matches with frequency:**
 ```python
-# Multiple rows per patient (one per matched Search_Term)
-# code_frequency = COUNT of matching SNOMED codes (used as tiebreaker)
-# Only counts codes from MIN(Intervention Date) onwards
-DataFrame with: PatientPseudonym, Search_Term, code_frequency
+# HTML elements use dash.html
+from dash import html
+html.Div(className="top-header", children=[...])
+
+# Mantine components for rich UI
+import dash_mantine_components as dmc
+dmc.Drawer(id="drug-drawer", position="right", size="480px", children=[...])
+dmc.Accordion(children=[dmc.AccordionItem(...)])
+
+# State management
+dcc.Store(id="app-state", storage_type="session", data={})

+# Callbacks
+@app.callback(
+    Output("chart-data", "data"),
+    Input("app-state", "data"),
+)
+def load_pathway_data(app_state):
+    ...
 ```
 
-**Drug-to-Indication Mapping (from DimSearchTerm.csv):**
-```python
-# search_term → list of drug fragments
-{"rheumatoid arthritis": ["ABATACEPT", "ADALIMUMAB", "ANAKINRA", ...]}
-```
+### Database Access Pattern
 
-**Modified HCD Data:**
 ```python
-# Original UPID replaced with indication-aware UPID
-df["UPID"] = "RMV12345|rheumatoid arthritis"  # for matched drugs
-df["UPID"] = "RMV12345|RHEUMATOLOGY (no GP dx)"  # for unmatched drugs
-```
+from pathlib import Path
+import sqlite3
 
-**Indication DataFrame:**
-```python
-# Maps modified UPID → Search_Term (for pathway hierarchy level 2)
-indication_df = pd.DataFrame({
-    'Directory': ['rheumatoid arthritis', 'asthma', 'CARDIOLOGY (no GP dx)']
-}, index=['RMV12345|rheumatoid arthritis', 'RMV12345|asthma', 'RMV67890|CARDIOLOGY (no GP dx)'])
+DB_PATH = Path(__file__).resolve().parents[2] / "data" / "pathways.db"
+
+def load_pathway_data(filter_id, chart_type, selected_drugs=None, selected_directorates=None):
+    conn = sqlite3.connect(str(DB_PATH))

 ### Verification Steps
 
 After writing code, ALWAYS verify:
 
-1. **Syntax check**: `python -m py_compile <file.py>`
-2. **Import check**: `python -c "from module import function"`
-3. **For database changes**: Test with query against pathways.db
-4. **For Reflex changes**: `python -m reflex compile`
+1. **Import check**: `python -c "from dash_app.app import app"` (or specific module)
+2. **App starts**: `python run_dash.py` — must start without errors
+3. **Visual check** (when building UI): describe what you expect to see at localhost:8050
+4. **For callbacks**: verify the callback chain fires correctly (add temporary `print()` statements if needed)
 
 If any step fails, fix the issue before proceeding.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### Reflex compilation errors
-
-If you encounter compilation errors when running `reflex run`:
+### App won't start
 
 ```bash
-# Clear the build cache and restart
-rm -rf .web
-reflex run
+# Ensure dependencies are installed
+uv sync
+
+# Ensure src/ is on Python path
+uv run python setup_dev.py
+
+# Try running with uv
+uv run python run_dash.py
+```
+
+### Database not found
+
+```bash
+# Check data/pathways.db exists
+python -m data_processing.migrate
 ```
 
 ### Snowflake connection issues
 
-1. Ensure `snowflake-connector-python` is installed:
-   ```bash
-   pip install snowflake-connector-python
-   ```
+1. Ensure `src/config/snowflake.toml` has the correct account identifier
+2. A browser window will open for SSO authentication
+3. Verify your network allows Snowflake connections
 
-2. Check that `config/snowflake.toml` has the correct account identifier
+## Documentation
 
-3. For SSO authentication, a browser window will open automatically
-
-### SQLite database not found
-
-If `data/pathways.db` doesn't exist, create it:
-
-```bash
-python -m data_processing.migrate
-python -m data_processing.migrate --reference-data
-```
-
-## Development
-
-### Code Quality
-
-```bash
-# Type checking
-python -m mypy core/ data_processing/ analysis/ --ignore-missing-imports
-
-# Run tests with coverage report
-python -m pytest tests/ -v --cov=core --cov=data_processing --cov-report=html
-```
-
-### Adding New Reference Data
-
-1. Add CSV file to `data/` directory
-2. Define schema in `data_processing/schema.py`
-3. Create migration function in `data_processing/reference_data.py`
-4. Add path to `PathConfig` in `core/config.py`

+This guide covers deployment options for the Patient Pathway Analysis web application built with Dash.
 
 ## Overview
 
-Reflex applications compile to a FastAPI backend and Next.js frontend. This creates two deployment artifacts that can be deployed together or separately depending on your infrastructure requirements.
+The application is a single-process Python Dash app that serves both the frontend and API from one server. It reads pre-computed data from a local SQLite database.
 
 ## Development Mode

 ```
 
 ## Production Deployment Options
@@ -24,84 +24,55 @@ reflex run
 The simplest approach for internal deployments:
 
 ```bash
-# Run in production mode (optimized build)
-reflex run --env prod
-```
+# Run with Gunicorn (Linux/macOS)
+gunicorn dash_app.app:server -b 0.0.0.0:8050 --workers 4
 
-This starts:
-- FastAPI backend on port 8000
-- Next.js frontend on port 3000
+# Or directly with Python
+python run_dash.py
+```
 
 For background execution:
 
 ```bash
 # Using nohup (Linux/macOS)
-nohup reflex run --env prod > reflex.log 2>&1 &
+nohup gunicorn dash_app.app:server -b 0.0.0.0:8050 --workers 4 > dash.log 2>&1 &

-Start-Process -NoNewWindow -FilePath "reflex" -ArgumentList "run --env prod"
+Start-Process -NoNewWindow -FilePath "python" -ArgumentList "run_dash.py"
 ```
 
-### Option 2: Separate Backend and Frontend
-
-For more control, run backend and frontend separately:
-
-```bash
-# Terminal 1: Start backend only
-reflex run --env prod --backend-only
-
-# Terminal 2: Start frontend only
-reflex run --env prod --frontend-only

-
-### Option 3: Static Export
-
-Export the frontend as static files for deployment on static hosting or CDN:
-
-```bash
-# Export application
-reflex export
-
-# This creates:
-# - frontend.zip (static Next.js build)
-# - backend.zip (Python application source)
-```
-
-Then:
-1. Unzip `frontend.zip` and serve via nginx, Apache, or any static file server

 export SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT=your-account
 export SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE=your-warehouse
 ```
 
 ### Snowflake Configuration
 
-Ensure `config/snowflake.toml` is properly configured for production:
+Snowflake is only needed for the data refresh CLI command, not for running the web application. Ensure `src/config/snowflake.toml` is configured:
 
 ```toml
-[connection]
+[snowflake]
 account = "your-production-account"
 warehouse = "ANALYTICS_WH"
 database = "DATA_HUB"
 schema = "CDM"
-authenticator = "externalbrowser"  # or "oauth" for service accounts
-
-[cache]
-enabled = true
-directory = "/var/cache/pathway-analysis"
-ttl_seconds = 86400  # 24 hours
+authenticator = "externalbrowser"
 ```
 
-## Reflex Cloud
+## Data Refresh
 
-For managed hosting, consider [Reflex Cloud](https://reflex.dev/cloud/):
+The web application reads pre-computed data from SQLite. To update the data:
 
 ```bash
-# Deploy to Reflex Cloud
-reflex deploy
+# Full refresh (both chart types, all date filters)
+python -m cli.refresh_pathways --chart-type all
+
+# The app will serve new data immediately — no restart needed
 ```
 
-Benefits:
-- Zero configuration deployment
-- Automatic scaling
-- Built-in SSL certificates
-- Managed state management with Redis
+Schedule this as a cron job or Windows Task Scheduler task for periodic updates.
 
 ## Security Considerations
 
 ### Network Security
 
-1. **Firewall Rules**: Only expose necessary ports (typically just 80/443)
-2. **HTTPS**: Use TLS certificates (Let's Encrypt or organizational certs)
+1. **Firewall Rules**: Only expose port 8050 (or 80/443 behind reverse proxy)
+2. **HTTPS**: Use TLS certificates via reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy)
 3. **VPN**: Consider restricting access to NHS network only
 
 ### Data Security
 
-1. **Database Access**: Ensure SQLite database permissions are restricted
-2. **File Uploads**: Validate file types and scan for malware
-3. **Snowflake**: Use least-privilege service accounts
-
-### Authentication
-
-For NHS deployments, consider adding authentication:
-
-```python
-# Example: Add basic auth middleware
-import reflex as rx
-from starlette.middleware import Middleware
-from starlette.middleware.authentication import AuthenticationMiddleware
-
-# In rxconfig.py
-config = rx.Config(
-    app_name="pathways_app",
-    # Add authentication middleware
-)
-```
+1. **Database Access**: The app uses read-only SQLite access
+2. **No file uploads**: The Dash app does not accept file uploads
+3. **No authentication built in**: Add authentication via reverse proxy or middleware if needed
 
 ## Monitoring
 
 ### Health Checks
 
-The application provides endpoints for monitoring:
-
-- `/ping` - Basic health check
-- Backend port 8000 - FastAPI health
+The application serves at `/` — a 200 response indicates the app is running.
 
 ### Logging
 
-Configure logging for production:
+Dash outputs request logs to stdout. Configure log aggregation as needed:
 
-```python
-# In pathways_app/pathways_app.py
-import logging
-
-logging.basicConfig(
-    level=logging.INFO,
-    format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s',
-    handlers=[
-        logging.FileHandler('/var/log/pathway-analysis/app.log'),
-        logging.StreamHandler()
-    ]
-)
+```bash
+# Redirect logs to file
+gunicorn dash_app.app:server -b 0.0.0.0:8050 --access-logfile /var/log/pathway-analysis/access.log --error-logfile /var/log/pathway-analysis/error.log
 ```
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### Common Issues
+### Port already in use
 
-**Port already in use:**
 ```bash
-# Find and kill process using port 3000
-lsof -i :3000
-kill -9 <PID>
+# Find process using port 8050
+lsof -i :8050   # Linux/macOS
+netstat -ano | findstr :8050   # Windows
 ```
 
-**Build cache issues:**
-```bash
-# Clear Reflex build cache
-rm -rf .web
-reflex run --env prod
-```
+### Database not found
 
-**Database connection errors:**
 ```bash
-# Verify database exists and has correct permissions
+# Verify database exists
 ls -la data/pathways.db
 sqlite3 data/pathways.db ".tables"
+
+# Recreate if needed
+python -m data_processing.migrate
+python -m cli.refresh_pathways --chart-type all
 ```
 
-**Snowflake authentication:**
-- Ensure browser is available for SSO popup
-- Check firewall allows connections to Snowflake endpoints
-- Verify account identifier is correct
-
-## Performance Tuning
-
-### Backend (FastAPI/Uvicorn)
-
-For high-traffic deployments:
+### Import errors
 
 ```bash
-# Run with multiple workers
-uvicorn pathways_app:app --workers 4 --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
-```
+# Ensure src/ is on Python path
+uv run python setup_dev.py
 
-### State Management
-
-For multi-instance deployments, configure Redis for state management:
-
-```python
-# rxconfig.py
-config = rx.Config(
-    app_name="pathways_app",
-    state_manager_mode="redis",
-    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379/0",
-)
-```
-
-### Caching
-
-Enable aggressive caching for Snowflake queries in `config/snowflake.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[cache]
-enabled = true
-ttl_seconds = 86400  # 24 hours for historical data
-ttl_current_data_seconds = 3600  # 1 hour for recent data
-max_size_mb = 1000  # 1GB cache
+# Verify imports
+uv run python -c "from dash_app.app import app; print('OK')"
 ```

-## Selecting Your Data Source
+## Filtering Data
 
-The application supports three data sources:
+### Chart Type
 
-### 1. SQLite Database (Recommended)
+Toggle between two views using the pills in the filter bar:
 
-Pre-loaded patient data stored locally for fast performance.
+| View | Hierarchy | Best For |
+|------|-----------|----------|
+| **By Directory** | Trust → Directorate → Drug → Pathway | Understanding treatment by medical specialty |
+| **By Indication** | Trust → GP Diagnosis → Drug → Pathway | Understanding treatment by patient condition |
 
-**Advantages:**
-- Fastest analysis performance
-- Works offline
-- No authentication required
+### Date Filters
 
-**To use:** Click "Use SQLite" in the Data Source section
+Two dropdowns control the time window:
 
-### 2. File Upload
+| Filter | Options | Effect |
+|--------|---------|--------|
+| **Treatment Initiated** | All years, Last 2 years, Last 1 year | When patients started treatment |
+| **Last Seen** | Last 6 months, Last 12 months | Most recent activity window |
 
-Upload CSV or Parquet files directly.
+The default is "All years / Last 6 months" — showing all patients who have been active in the last 6 months.
 
-**Supported formats:**
-- CSV files (.csv)
-- Apache Parquet files (.parquet, .pq)
+### Drug and Trust Selection
 
-**To use:**
-1. Drag and drop a file, or click the upload area
-2. Wait for the file to process
-3. Click "Use File" to select it as your data source
+Open the drawer (right panel) by clicking "Drug Selection" or "Trust Selection" in the sidebar:
 
-### 3. Snowflake
+- **Drug chips**: Click to select/deselect specific drugs. Selected drugs filter the chart.
+- **Trust chips**: Click to select/deselect specific NHS trusts.
+- **Clear All Filters**: Button at the bottom resets all drug and trust selections.
 
-Query live data from the NHS data warehouse.
-
-**Requirements:**
-- Snowflake must be configured (see `config/snowflake.toml`)
-- Browser-based NHS SSO authentication
-
-**To use:** Click "Use Snowflake" - you'll be prompted to authenticate via your browser
+**No selections = show everything.** Leaving chips unselected is the same as selecting all.

-## Configuring Analysis Filters
+## Using the Drug Browser
 
-The Home page provides several filter options:
+The drawer contains three sections:
 
-### Date Range
+### All Drugs
+A flat list of all 42 available drugs as selectable chips. Click one or more to filter the chart to those drugs only.
 
-| Field | Description |
-|-------|-------------|
-| **Start Date** | Include patients initiated from this date onwards |
-| **End Date** | Include patients initiated until this date |
-| **Last Seen After** | Only include patients with activity after this date (excludes patients who haven't been seen recently) |
+### Trusts
+A list of 7 NHS trusts as selectable chips. Click to filter by specific organizations.
 
-**Tip:** The default range is the last 12 months.
+### By Directorate
+An accordion browser organized by clinical directorate:
 
-### Minimum Patients
+1. Click a **directorate** (e.g., "CARDIOLOGY") to expand it
+2. Inside, click an **indication** (e.g., "heart failure") to expand further
+3. Each indication shows **drug fragment badges** (e.g., "SACUBITRIL", "IVABRADINE")
+4. Clicking a drug fragment badge selects all full drug names that contain that fragment
 
-Filter out pathways with fewer patients than the threshold you set.
+For example, clicking the "ADALIMUMAB" badge would select "ADALIMUMAB" in the drug chips above.
 
-- Use the slider for quick adjustment (0-100)
-- Or type a specific number in the text field
-- Set to 0 to show all pathways regardless of patient count
+### Fragment Matching
 
-### Custom Title
+Drug fragments are substrings, not exact matches. The fragment "INHALED" would match drugs like "INHALED BECLOMETASONE" and "INHALED FLUTICASONE".
 
-Override the automatically generated chart title with your own text.
-
-- Leave empty to use the default title: "Patients initiated [start date] to [end date]"
-- Useful for specific reports or presentations
-
----
-
-## Selecting Drugs, Trusts, and Directories
-
-Each selection page works the same way:
-
-### Navigation
-
-1. Click "Drug Selection", "Trust Selection", or "Directory Selection" in the sidebar
-2. The page shows all available options with checkboxes
-
-### Search
-
-Type in the search box to filter the list. The list updates as you type.
-
-### Selection Actions
-
-| Button | Action |
-|--------|--------|
-| **Select All** | Check all visible items |
-| **Clear All** | Uncheck all items |
-| **Select Defaults** | (Drugs only) Select pre-configured default drugs (Include=1 in include.csv) |
-
-### Selection Behavior
-
-- **No items selected** = Include ALL items in analysis
-- **Some items selected** = Include ONLY the selected items
-
-This means leaving a filter empty is equivalent to "select all".
-
----
-
-## Running the Analysis
-
-### Steps
-
-1. Ensure your data source is selected and configured
-2. Set your date range and other filters
-3. Select desired drugs, trusts, and directories (or leave empty for all)
-4. Click the green **Run Analysis** button
-
-### During Analysis
-
-- The button shows a spinner while analysis is running
-- Status messages appear below the button
-- The interface remains responsive - you can review settings
-
-### After Analysis
-
-- The pathway chart appears in the chart section
-- Export buttons become available
-- GP indication validation results appear (if Snowflake is connected)
+Clicking a fragment toggles its matching drugs:
+- **First click**: Selects all matching drugs
+- **Second click**: Deselects all matching drugs (if all were already selected)

 ## Understanding the Pathway Chart
 
-The analysis generates an interactive **icicle chart** showing patient treatment pathways.
-
 ### Hierarchy Structure
 
-The chart displays a hierarchical structure:
+The icicle chart displays a hierarchical breakdown:
 
+**Directory view:**
 ```
-N&WICS (Regional Total)
-  └─ Trust Name (e.g., "Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals")
-      └─ Directory (e.g., "Rheumatology", "Gastroenterology")
-          └─ Drug Name (e.g., "ADALIMUMAB", "INFLIXIMAB")
+Root (Regional Total)
+  └─ Trust (e.g., "Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals")
+      └─ Directorate (e.g., "RHEUMATOLOGY")
+          └─ Drug (e.g., "ADALIMUMAB")
+              └─ Pathway (e.g., "ADALIMUMAB → INFLIXIMAB")
+```
+
+**Indication view:**
+```
+Root (Regional Total)
+  └─ Trust
+      └─ GP Diagnosis (e.g., "rheumatoid arthritis")
+          └─ Drug
+              └─ Pathway
 ```
 
 ### Reading the Chart
 
 - **Width** of each section indicates relative patient count
-- **Color intensity** indicates proportion of patients at that level
-- **Labels** show the category name and patient count
+- **Color intensity** (NHS blue gradient) indicates proportion of parent group
+- **Labels** show the name and patient count
 
 ### Interacting with the Chart

-## Exporting Results
+## GP Indication Matching
 
-Two export options are available after running an analysis:
+When viewing "By Indication" charts, the application uses pre-computed GP diagnosis matches:
 
-### Export HTML
+### How It Works
 
-Creates an interactive HTML file that can be opened in any browser.
+1. During data refresh, each patient's NHS pseudonym is queried against GP primary care records
+2. SNOMED cluster codes map clinical conditions to drug indications
+3. The most recent GP diagnosis match is used for each patient
+4. ~93% of patients are matched to a GP diagnosis
 
-- **Output**: `data/exports/pathway_chart_[timestamp].html`
-- **Use case**: Sharing interactive charts via email or file share
-- **Features**: Full interactivity, no software required to view
+### Unmatched Patients
 
-### Export CSV
+Patients without a GP diagnosis match appear under their directorate with a "(no GP dx)" suffix (e.g., "RHEUMATOLOGY (no GP dx)").
 
-Exports the underlying data as a spreadsheet.
-
-- **Output**: `data/exports/pathway_data_[timestamp].csv`
-- **Use case**: Further analysis in Excel, importing to other tools
-- **Includes**: Patient IDs, drugs, dates, costs, directories, indication validation status
-
-### Export Location
-
-All exports are saved to the `data/exports/` directory with timestamped filenames to prevent overwriting.
-
----
-
-## GP Indication Validation
-
-When connected to Snowflake, the application validates whether patients have appropriate GP diagnoses for their prescribed drugs.
-
-### What It Does
-
-1. Looks up the drug's licensed indications (e.g., ADALIMUMAB for rheumatoid arthritis)
-2. Finds corresponding SNOMED codes for those indications
-3. Checks each patient's GP records for matching diagnoses
-4. Reports the match rate per drug
-
-### Understanding Results
-
-After analysis, a table shows:
-
-| Column | Meaning |
-|--------|---------|
-| **Drug Name** | The high-cost drug |
-| **Total Patients** | Number of patients prescribed this drug |
-| **With GP Indication** | Patients with matching GP diagnosis |
-| **Match Rate** | Percentage with valid indication |
-
-### Match Rate Interpretation
-
-| Rate | Meaning | Color |
-|------|---------|-------|
-| **80%+** | Good coverage - most patients have GP diagnoses | Green |
-| **50-79%** | Moderate coverage - investigate missing cases | Orange |
-| **<50%** | Low coverage - may indicate data quality issues or off-label use | Red |
-
-### Why Rates May Be Low
-
-Low match rates don't necessarily indicate problems:
-
-- **Cross-provider treatment**: Patient's GP is outside the data coverage
-- **Recent diagnoses**: Diagnosis not yet recorded in GP system
-- **Specialist-only conditions**: Some conditions are only managed in secondary care
-- **Off-label prescribing**: Legitimate use for indications not in the mapping
-
-### Enabling/Disabling
-
-Indication validation is enabled by default when Snowflake is connected. It requires:
-- Active Snowflake connection
-- Drug-to-cluster mappings in the database
-
----
-
-## Keyboard Navigation and Accessibility

 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### "No data available" Error
+### No data showing
 
-**Cause**: No data matches your current filter settings
+1. Check the filter bar — are filters too restrictive?
+2. Try clearing all drug/trust selections in the drawer
+3. Widen the date range (e.g., "All years / Last 12 months")
 
-**Solutions:**
-1. Check your date range - is it too narrow?
-2. Verify your data source has data loaded
-3. Check if selected trusts/drugs have any matching records
-4. Try clearing all selections (to include everything)
+### Chart shows "No matching pathways found"
 
-### Chart Not Displaying
+The current filter combination matches zero patients. Adjust filters or click "Clear All Filters" in the drawer.
 
-**Cause**: Analysis completed but no data met the minimum patients threshold
+### App won't start
 
-**Solutions:**
-1. Lower the minimum patients threshold
-2. Expand your date range
-3. Select more drugs or trusts
+```bash
+# Ensure dependencies are installed
+uv sync
 
-### Snowflake Connection Failed
+# Ensure src/ is on Python path
+uv run python setup_dev.py
 
-**Cause**: Unable to connect to Snowflake
+# Run with uv
+uv run python run_dash.py
+```
 
-**Solutions:**
-1. Check that `config/snowflake.toml` exists and is configured
-2. Complete browser authentication when prompted
-3. Verify your network allows Snowflake connections
-4. Try using SQLite as an alternative data source
+### Stale data
 
-### File Upload Failed
+Data is as fresh as the last CLI refresh. Check the header's "Last updated" indicator. To refresh:
 
-**Cause**: File format or content issue
-
-**Solutions:**
-1. Ensure file is CSV or Parquet format
-2. Check file isn't corrupted or empty
-3. Verify file contains required columns
-4. Try a smaller file to test
-
-### Slow Performance
-
-**Cause**: Large data volume or complex filtering
-
-**Solutions:**
-1. Use SQLite instead of file upload for large datasets
-2. Narrow your date range
-3. Select fewer drugs/trusts to analyze
-4. Increase minimum patients threshold to reduce chart complexity
-
-### Reference Data Not Loading
-
-**Cause**: Missing or corrupted reference files
-
-**Solutions:**
-1. Click "Load Reference Data" to retry
-2. Check that `data/` directory contains required CSV files:
-   - `include.csv`
-   - `defaultTrusts.csv`
-   - `directory_list.csv`
-3. Verify files aren't empty or malformed
+```bash
+python -m cli.refresh_pathways --chart-type all
+```

-## Drug-Indication Matching Guardrails
+## Backend Isolation
 
-### Match drugs to indications, not just patients to indications
-- **When**: Building the indication mapping for pathway charts
-- **Rule**: Each drug must be validated against BOTH the patient's GP diagnoses AND the drug-to-indication mapping from DimSearchTerm.csv. A patient being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis does NOT mean all their drugs are for rheumatoid arthritis.
-- **Why**: The previous approach assigned ONE indication per patient (most recent GP dx), ignoring which drugs actually treat which conditions. This produced misleading pathways.
+### Do NOT modify pipeline/analysis logic in src/
+- **When**: Building Dash integration
+- **Rule**: Do NOT change the logic in these files — they are the data pipeline and must stay as-is:
+  - `data_processing/pathway_pipeline.py`, `transforms.py`, `diagnosis_lookup.py` (matching/query logic)
+  - `analysis/pathway_analyzer.py`, `statistics.py`
+  - `cli/refresh_pathways.py`
+  - `data_processing/schema.py`, `reference_data.py`, `cache.py`, `data_source.py`
+- **Why**: The pipeline is complete and tested. Changing it risks breaking the data refresh workflow.
 
-### Use DimSearchTerm.csv for drug-to-Search_Term mapping
-- **When**: Determining which Search_Term a drug belongs to
-- **Rule**: Load `data/DimSearchTerm.csv`. The `CleanedDrugName` column has pipe-separated drug name fragments. Match HCD drug names against these fragments using substring matching (case-insensitive).
-- **Why**: This CSV is the authoritative mapping of which drugs are used for which clinical indications.
+### DO use shared utilities in src/ rather than duplicating
+- **When**: The Dash app needs data loading or figure construction
+- **Rule**: Dash callbacks should CALL INTO `src/`, not duplicate the code. Shared functions:
+  - `data_processing/pathway_queries.py` — `load_initial_data()` and `load_pathway_nodes()` for all SQLite queries
+  - `visualization/plotly_generator.py` — `create_icicle_from_nodes()` for icicle chart from list-of-dicts
+  - `dash_app/data/queries.py` — thin wrapper that resolves DB path and delegates to shared functions
+- **Why**: Duplicating SQL queries and figure logic creates copies that drift apart. Shared code in `src/` is the cleaner architecture.
 
-### Use substring matching for drug fragments
-- **When**: Matching HCD drug names against DimSearchTerm CleanedDrugName fragments
-- **Rule**: Check if any fragment from DimSearchTerm is a SUBSTRING of the HCD drug name (case-insensitive). E.g., "PEGYLATED" should match "PEGYLATED LIPOSOMAL DOXORUBICIN".
-- **Why**: DimSearchTerm contains both full drug names (ADALIMUMAB) and partial fragments (PEGYLATED, INHALED). Exact match would miss the partial ones.
-
-### Modified UPID uses pipe delimiter
-- **When**: Creating indication-aware UPIDs
-- **Rule**: Format is `{original_UPID}|{search_term}`. Use pipe `|` as delimiter. Do NOT use ` - ` (hyphen with spaces) as that's used for pathway hierarchy levels in the `ids` column.
-- **Why**: The `ids` column uses " - " to separate hierarchy levels (e.g., "N&WICS - NNUH - rheumatoid arthritis - ADALIMUMAB"). Using the same delimiter in UPIDs would break hierarchy parsing.
-
-### Return ALL GP matches per patient, not just most recent
-- **When**: Querying Snowflake for patient GP diagnoses
-- **Rule**: Remove `QUALIFY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ... ORDER BY EventDateTime DESC) = 1`. Return ALL matching Search_Terms per patient with `GROUP BY + COUNT(*)` for code_frequency.
-- **Why**: A patient may have GP diagnoses for both rheumatoid arthritis AND asthma. We need ALL matches to cross-reference with their drugs.
-
-### Restrict GP code lookup to HCD data window
-- **When**: Building the WHERE clause for the GP record query
-- **Rule**: Add `AND pc."EventDateTime" >= :earliest_hcd_date` where `earliest_hcd_date` is `MIN(Intervention Date)` from the HCD DataFrame. Pass this as a parameter to `get_patient_indication_groups()`.
-- **Why**: Old GP codes from years before treatment started add noise. A diagnosis coded 10 years ago may no longer be relevant. Restricting to the HCD window ensures code_frequency reflects recent clinical activity for the conditions being actively treated.
-
-### Tiebreaker: highest GP code frequency when a drug matches multiple indications
-- **When**: A single drug maps to multiple Search_Terms AND the patient has GP dx for multiple
-- **Rule**: Use `code_frequency` (COUNT of matching SNOMED codes per Search_Term per patient) from the GP query. The Search_Term with the most matching codes in the patient's GP record wins. If tied, use alphabetical Search_Term for determinism.
-- **Why**: E.g., ADALIMUMAB is listed under rheumatoid arthritis, crohn's disease, psoriatic arthritis, etc. A patient with 47 RA codes and 2 crohn's codes is almost certainly on ADALIMUMAB for RA. Frequency of GP coding is a much stronger signal of clinical intent than recency — a recent one-off asthma check doesn't mean ADALIMUMAB is for asthma.
-
-### Same patient, different indications = separate modified UPIDs
-- **When**: A patient's drugs map to different Search_Terms
-- **Rule**: Create separate modified UPIDs for each indication. E.g., `RMV12345|rheumatoid arthritis` and `RMV12345|asthma`. These are treated as separate "patients" by the pathway analyzer.
-- **Why**: This is the core design — drugs for different indications should create separate treatment pathways, even for the same physical patient.
-
-### Fallback to directory for unmatched drugs
-- **When**: A drug doesn't match any Search_Term OR the patient has no GP dx for any of the drug's Search_Terms
-- **Rule**: Use fallback format: `{UPID}|{Directory} (no GP dx)`. The indication_df maps this to `"{Directory} (no GP dx)"`.
-- **Why**: Maintains consistent behavior with the previous approach for patients/drugs without GP diagnosis matches.
-
-### Merge asthma Search_Terms but keep urticaria separate
-- **When**: Working with asthma-related Search_Terms from CLUSTER_MAPPING_SQL or DimSearchTerm.csv
-- **Rule**: Merge "allergic asthma", "asthma", and "severe persistent allergic asthma" into a single "asthma" Search_Term. Keep "urticaria" as a separate Search_Term — do NOT merge it with asthma.
-- **Why**: These are clinically the same condition at different severity levels. Splitting them fragments the data. Urticaria is a distinct dermatological condition that happens to share OMALIZUMAB.
-
-### Don't modify directory chart processing
-- **When**: Making changes to the indication matching logic
-- **Rule**: Only modify the indication chart path (`elif current_chart_type == "indication":`). Directory charts use unmodified UPIDs and directory-based grouping.
-- **Why**: Directory charts work correctly and should not be affected by indication matching changes.
+### Do NOT modify pathways.db schema or data
+- **When**: Querying the database from Dash callbacks
+- **Rule**: Read-only access. Use `sqlite3.connect(db_path)` with SELECT queries only. Never INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or ALTER.
+- **Why**: pathways.db is populated by `python -m cli.refresh_pathways`. The Dash app is a read-only consumer.
 
 ---
 
-## Snowflake Query Guardrails
+## CSS & Design Fidelity
 
-### Use PseudoNHSNoLinked for GP record matching
-- **When**: Querying GP records (PrimaryCareClinicalCoding) for patient diagnoses
-- **Rule**: Use `PseudoNHSNoLinked` column from HCD data, NOT `PersonKey` (LocalPatientID)
-- **Why**: PersonKey is provider-specific local ID. Only PseudoNHSNoLinked matches PatientPseudonym in GP records.
+### Use className matching 01_nhs_classic.html, not inline styles
+- **When**: Building any Dash HTML component
+- **Rule**: Use `className="css-class-name"` referencing classes from `dash_app/assets/nhs.css`. Do NOT use inline `style={}` dicts for layout/visual styling. Only use inline styles for truly dynamic values (e.g., `style={"flex": patient_count}` for proportional widths).
+- **Why**: CSS fidelity to the HTML concept is a primary goal. Inline styles drift from the design and are harder to maintain.
 
-### Embed cluster query as CTE in Snowflake
-- **When**: Looking up patient indications during data refresh
-- **Rule**: Use the `CLUSTER_MAPPING_SQL` content as a WITH clause in the patient lookup query
-- **Why**: This ensures we always use the complete cluster mapping and don't need local storage
+### nhs.css is the single source of CSS truth
+- **When**: Adding or modifying styles
+- **Rule**: All styles go in `dash_app/assets/nhs.css`. If the concept HTML doesn't have a class for something, add it to nhs.css with the same naming convention (`.component__element--modifier`).
+- **Why**: Dash auto-serves files from `assets/`. Keeping CSS in one file matches the design source (01_nhs_classic.html) and avoids style fragmentation.
 
-### Quote mixed-case column aliases in Snowflake SQL
-- **When**: Writing SELECT queries that return results to Python code
-- **Rule**: Use `AS "ColumnName"` (quoted) for any column alias you'll access by name in Python
-- **Why**: Snowflake uppercases unquoted identifiers. `SELECT foo AS Search_Term` returns `SEARCH_TERM`, so `row.get('Search_Term')` returns None. Fix: `SELECT foo AS "Search_Term"`
-
-### Build indication_df from all unique UPIDs, not PseudoNHSNoLinked
-- **When**: Creating the indication mapping DataFrame for pathway processing
-- **Rule**: Use `df.drop_duplicates(subset=['UPID'])` not `drop_duplicates(subset=['PseudoNHSNoLinked'])`
-- **Why**: A patient visiting multiple providers has multiple UPIDs. Using unique PseudoNHSNoLinked only maps one UPID per patient, leaving others as NaN.
+### Read 01_nhs_classic.html when building UI components
+- **When**: Creating any component in `dash_app/components/`
+- **Rule**: Read `01_nhs_classic.html` first to see the exact HTML structure, CSS classes, and element hierarchy for that component. Match it as closely as possible.
+- **Why**: The HTML concept IS the design spec. Deviating creates visual inconsistency.
 
 ---
 
-## Data Processing Guardrails
+## Callback Architecture
 
-### Copy DataFrames in functions that modify columns
-- **When**: Writing functions like `prepare_data()` that modify DataFrame columns
-- **Rule**: Always `df = df.copy()` at the start of any function that modifies column values on the input DataFrame
-- **Why**: `prepare_data()` mapped Provider Code → Name in-place. When called multiple times on the same DataFrame, only the first call worked. The fix: `df.copy()` prevents destructive mutation.
+### No circular callback dependencies
+- **When**: Writing Dash callbacks
+- **Rule**: Callbacks must flow unidirectionally: filter inputs → `app-state` store → `chart-data` store → UI components. Never have a component that is both Input and Output in the same callback chain without an intermediate store.
+- **Why**: Dash raises `DuplicateCallback` errors for circular dependencies, and they're extremely hard to debug.
 
-### Include chart_type in UNIQUE constraints for pathway_nodes
-- **When**: Creating or modifying the pathway_nodes table schema
-- **Rule**: The UNIQUE constraint MUST include `chart_type`: `UNIQUE(date_filter_id, chart_type, ids)`
-- **Why**: Without `chart_type`, `INSERT OR REPLACE` silently overwrites directory chart nodes when indication chart nodes are inserted.
+### Use dcc.Store for all state, not server-side globals
+- **When**: Managing application state (selected filters, chart data, reference data)
+- **Rule**: ALL state lives in `dcc.Store` components. Never use module-level globals, class variables, or `flask.g` for state. The 3 stores are: `app-state` (session), `chart-data` (memory), `reference-data` (session).
+- **Why**: Dash is stateless per request. Server-side state breaks with multiple users and causes subtle bugs during development.
 
-### Handle NaN in Directory when building fallback labels
-- **When**: Creating fallback indication labels for patients without GP diagnosis match
-- **Rule**: Check `pd.notna(directory)` before concatenating to string. Use `"UNKNOWN (no GP dx)"` for NaN cases.
-- **Why**: NaN handling prevents TypeError and ensures meaningful fallback labels.
+### Use callback_context for multi-input callbacks
+- **When**: A callback has multiple Inputs and needs to know which one triggered it
+- **Rule**: Use `dash.callback_context.triggered` (or `ctx.triggered_id` in Dash 2.x) to determine the triggering input.
+- **Why**: Without this, the callback runs for every input change and you can't distinguish which filter changed.
 
-### Use parameterized queries for SQLite
-- **When**: Building WHERE clauses with user-selected filters
-- **Rule**: Use `?` placeholders and pass params tuple — never string interpolation
-- **Why**: Prevents SQL injection and handles special characters in drug/directory names
-
-### Use existing pathway_analyzer functions
-- **When**: Processing pathway data for the icicle chart
-- **Rule**: Reuse functions from `analysis/pathway_analyzer.py` — don't reinvent
-- **Why**: The existing code handles edge cases (empty groups, statistics calculation, color mapping)
+### Pattern-matching callbacks for dynamic drug chips
+- **When**: Building the card browser drawer with clickable drug chips
+- **Rule**: Use `{"type": "drug-chip", "index": drug_name}` pattern for chip IDs. Register callbacks with `Input({"type": "drug-chip", "index": ALL}, "n_clicks")`. Access triggered chip via `ctx.triggered_id["index"]`.
+- **Why**: The number of drug chips is dynamic (changes per directorate/indication). Pattern-matching callbacks handle this without hardcoding IDs.

-### Use .to() methods for Var operations in rx.foreach
-- **When**: Working with items inside `rx.foreach` render functions
-- **Rule**: Use `item.to(int)` for numeric comparisons, `item.to_string()` for text operations
-- **Why**: Items from rx.foreach are Var objects, not plain Python values.
+### Preserve create_icicle_from_nodes() in src/visualization/plotly_generator.py
+- **When**: Modifying the icicle chart
+- **Rule**: `create_icicle_from_nodes(nodes, title)` in `src/visualization/plotly_generator.py` is the shared icicle chart function. It accepts list-of-dicts from dcc.Store. Key properties:
+  - 10-field customdata structure (value, colour, cost, costpp, first_seen, last_seen, first_seen_parent, last_seen_parent, average_spacing, cost_pp_pa)
+  - NHS colorscale: `[[0.0, "#003087"], [0.25, "#0066CC"], [0.5, "#1E88E5"], [0.75, "#4FC3F7"], [1.0, "#E3F2FD"]]`
+  - `maxdepth=3`, `branchvalues="total"`, `sort=False`
+  - Layout: transparent background, reduced margins, autosize
+- **Why**: The icicle chart is tested and correct. The Dash callback in `dash_app/callbacks/chart.py` calls this function.
 
-### Use rx.cond for conditional rendering, not Python if
-- **When**: Conditionally showing/hiding components or changing styles based on state
-- **Rule**: Use `rx.cond(condition, true_component, false_component)` — not Python `if`
-- **Why**: Python `if` evaluates at definition time; `rx.cond` evaluates reactively at render time
+### Chart data is a list of dicts
+- **When**: Passing data between `chart-data` store and chart callback
+- **Rule**: `chart-data` store holds `{"nodes": [...], "unique_patients": int, "total_drugs": int, "total_cost": float}`. Each node is a dict with keys matching the SQLite columns needed for the figure: `parents, ids, labels, value, cost, costpp, colour, first_seen, last_seen, first_seen_parent, last_seen_parent, average_spacing, cost_pp_pa`.
+- **Why**: `dcc.Store` serializes to JSON. Keep the same dict structure that `pathways_app.py` uses for `chart_data` so the figure callback works identically.
+

+
+## Data Extraction
+
+### Keep data logic in shared src/ functions, not dash_app/ duplicates
+- **When**: Adding or modifying data loading functions
+- **Rule**: SQL queries and data logic live in `src/data_processing/pathway_queries.py`. The `dash_app/data/queries.py` is a thin wrapper that resolves the DB path and delegates. Do not duplicate queries in `dash_app/`.
+- **Why**: Shared code in `src/` prevents query drift and keeps the single source of truth for data access.
+
+### DimSearchTerm.csv fragments are substrings
+- **When**: Building the card browser or matching drugs to indications
+- **Rule**: `CleanedDrugName` values in DimSearchTerm.csv are drug name FRAGMENTS (e.g., "ADALIMUMAB", "PEGYLATED", "INHALED"). They're matched against full drug names using `drug_name.upper().contains(fragment)`. Don't assume exact match.
+- **Why**: Some fragments are partial (INHALED matches "INHALED BECLOMETASONE", "INHALED FLUTICASONE", etc.).
+
+### Apply SEARCH_TERM_MERGE_MAP when loading DimSearchTerm.csv
+- **When**: Building the directorate tree in `card_browser.py`
+- **Rule**: Import and apply `SEARCH_TERM_MERGE_MAP` from `data_processing.diagnosis_lookup` to normalize "allergic asthma" → "asthma" and "severe persistent allergic asthma" → "asthma". Keep "urticaria" separate.
+- **Why**: The Snowflake query and pathway processing already use merged Search_Terms. The card browser must match.
+
+---
+
+## SQLite Queries
+
+### Use parameterized queries for all filters
+- **When**: Building WHERE clauses with user-selected values
+- **Rule**: Use `?` placeholders and pass params as a list. Never use f-strings or string interpolation for filter values.
+- **Why**: Prevents SQL injection and handles special characters in drug/directory names (e.g., "CROHN'S DISEASE").
+
+### Database path resolution
+- **When**: Connecting to pathways.db from dash_app/
+- **Rule**: Use `Path(__file__).resolve().parents[2] / "data" / "pathways.db"` from files in `dash_app/data/`. This resolves from `dash_app/data/queries.py` → project root → `data/pathways.db`.
+- **Why**: Relative paths break depending on the working directory. Absolute path resolution is reliable.
+
+---
+
+## Dash Framework
+
+### Wrap layout in dmc.MantineProvider
+- **When**: Setting up the app layout in `app.py`
+- **Rule**: The outermost layout element must be `dmc.MantineProvider(children=[...])`. Without this, DMC components (Drawer, Accordion, Chip, etc.) won't render.
+- **Why**: Dash Mantine Components requires the Provider context to function.
+
+### dcc.Store storage_type matters
+- **When**: Creating the 3 store components
+- **Rule**:
+  - `app-state`: `storage_type="session"` — persists across page refreshes within a tab
+  - `chart-data`: `storage_type="memory"` — cleared on page refresh (reloaded from SQLite)
+  - `reference-data`: `storage_type="session"` — loaded once, persists across refreshes
+- **Why**: Wrong storage type causes stale data bugs (memory clears too often) or wasted queries (session persists when it shouldn't).
+
+### Dash assets directory is auto-served
+- **When**: Placing CSS, JS, or images
+- **Rule**: Put static assets in `dash_app/assets/`. Dash serves them automatically. Reference CSS via `className`, not `<link>` tags.
+- **Why**: Dash's asset pipeline handles caching and serving. Manual `<link>` tags are unnecessary and may not work.

 - **Why**: The next iteration has zero memory. If you don't write it down, it's lost.
 
-### Check existing code for patterns
-- **When**: Unsure how to implement something

-
-### Snowflake connection_timeout must be high enough for GP lookup queries
-- **When**: GP record queries against PrimaryCareClinicalCoding time out
-- **Rule**: Ensure `connection_timeout` in config/snowflake.toml is at least 600 (currently set to 600). This controls the Python client's `network_timeout`, which is how long the client waits for ANY Snowflake response. Do NOT lower this value.
-- **Why**: GP lookup queries take ~40s per batch due to CTE compilation overhead. With connection_timeout=30, every batch timed out silently (error 000604/57014).
-
-### Use large batch sizes (5000+) for GP record lookups
-- **When**: Calling `get_patient_indication_groups()` with patient batches
-- **Rule**: Use batch_size=5000 or larger. The query time is ~40s regardless of batch size (5 patients ≈ 500 patients ≈ 5000 patients). Smaller batches just multiply the fixed overhead.
-- **Why**: With batch_size=500, 36K patients needed 74 batches × 40s = ~50 min. With batch_size=5000, only 8 batches × 45s = ~6 min. The bottleneck is CTE compilation, not data volume.
+### Validate with `python run_dash.py`
+- **When**: After completing any task
+- **Rule**: Run `python run_dash.py` (or `python -c "from dash_app.app import app"` for import checks). The app must start without errors after EVERY task.
+- **Why**: Broken imports or circular dependencies compound across tasks. Catch them immediately.

 ### Blocked items (iter 16):
 - None
 
-## MIGRATION COMPLETE
-All 20 tasks across 5 phases complete. 16 iterations total.
+## Iteration 17 — 2026-02-06
+### Task: Phase 6 — Update all documentation
+### Why this task:
+- Phases 0-5 complete. Phase 6 (documentation cleanup) was the only remaining work.
+- All non-archive .md files still referenced Reflex (commands, architecture, deployment).
+### Status: COMPLETE
+### What was done:
+- **README.md**: Complete rewrite — replaced `reflex run` with `python run_dash.py`, updated features list (dual charts, pre-computed pathways, drug browser), updated project structure (dash_app/ instead of pathways_app/), updated quick start, usage, troubleshooting
+- **docs/USER_GUIDE.md**: Complete rewrite — new single-page Dash UI guide covering header, sidebar, KPI row, filter bar, chart card, drawer, drug browser, indication matching
+- **docs/DEPLOYMENT.md**: Complete rewrite — Dash/Gunicorn deployment replacing Reflex/FastAPI/Next.js, Docker examples, nginx config, systemd service, single port 8050
+- **docs/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md**: Updated "Reflex Implementation" section → "Dash Implementation" with correct CSS/component references
+- **RALPH_PROMPT.md**: Updated title ("Dash Application Maintenance" not "Reflex → Dash Migration"), updated data reference section to point to src/ shared functions instead of pathways_app/
+- **guardrails.md**: Updated 3 rules to reflect current Dash architecture (shared utilities exist, icicle function exists, data queries exist) instead of migration instructions
+- **IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md**: Phase 6 tasks marked [x]
+### Validation results:
+- Tier 1 (Code): `from dash_app.app import app` — OK, 7 callbacks registered
+- Grep for Reflex in non-archive .md files: only CLAUDE.md line 140 (archive description — accurate) and IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md (historical migration log — accurate)
+### Files changed:
+- README.md — Rewritten for Dash
+- docs/USER_GUIDE.md — Rewritten for Dash
+- docs/DEPLOYMENT.md — Rewritten for Dash
+- docs/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md — Updated implementation section
+- RALPH_PROMPT.md — Updated title and references
+- guardrails.md — Updated 3 rules
+- IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md — Phase 6 marked [x]
+- progress.txt — This entry
+### Patterns discovered:
+- archive/ files (IMPROVEMENT_RECOMMENDATIONS.md) retain Reflex references intentionally — they're historical
+- IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md retains Reflex references in completed task descriptions — these are accurate migration history
+### Next iteration should:
+- Phase 6 is complete. All tasks across all phases are now [x].
