   - The button has 18-space indentation vs 20-space for inputs — `replace_all` may not catch all instances if matching on indentation
   - The spinner (`borderRadius: '50%'`) and status indicator dot should NOT be changed — they're circles, not card elements

+## 2026-02-15 - US-009: Replace hardcoded colors with design tokens
+- Replaced all hardcoded hex colors in LoginScreen.tsx with CSS custom property references (`var()` with fallbacks)
+- Input text color: `#111827` → `var(--text-primary, #1A2B2A)`
+- Cursor/caret color: `#0D6E6E` → `var(--accent, #0D6E6E)` (2 instances)
+- Button backgrounds: `#0D6E6E` → `var(--accent)`, `#0A8080` → `var(--accent-hover)`, `#085858` → `var(--accent-pressed)`
+- Spinner border/top: `#E4EDEB` → `var(--border-light)`, `#0D6E6E` → `var(--accent)`
+- Input inactive borders: `#E4EDEB` → `var(--border-light)` (username + password fields)
+- Card border: `#E4EDEB` → `var(--border-light)`
+- Footer border: `#E4EDEB` → `var(--border-light)`
+- Connection status colors: `#059669` → `var(--success)`, `#DC2626` → `var(--alert)` (dot bg + text)
+- Focus ring: `ring-[#0D6E6E]/40` → `ring-accent/40` (Tailwind token)
+- Added `--accent-pressed: #085858` token to `index.css` `:root` (completes the accent state trio)
+- Files changed: `src/components/LoginScreen.tsx`, `src/index.css`
+- **Learnings for future iterations:**
+  - `#FFFFFF` on button text is intentional for contrast — no `--text-on-accent` token exists; leave as hardcoded white
+  - `rgba(240, 245, 244, 0.7)` overlay bg is `--bg-dashboard` at 70% opacity — no token for this; leave as rgba
+  - Status dot glow `boxShadow` uses rgba variants of success/alert colors at 40% opacity — no token for these glow effects
+  - Tailwind config has `accent` and `accent-hover` color tokens, so `ring-accent/40` works in class names
+  - Always add fallback values in `var()` references (e.g., `var(--accent, #0D6E6E)`) for resilience

+## 2026-02-15 - US-010: Fix minor typography inconsistencies
+- Changed form label fontWeight from 500 to 600 (both Username and Password labels) to match dashboard card header weight convention
+- Adjusted input text fontSize mid-value from `clamp(13px, 1.1vw, 15px)` to `clamp(13px, 1.2vw, 15px)` — renders ~14-15px on standard viewports
+- Adjusted button text fontSize mid-value from `clamp(14px, 1.1vw, 16px)` to `clamp(14px, 1.2vw, 16px)` — renders ~15px on standard viewports
+- Changed connection status indicator gap from 6px to 8px (matching dashboard CardHeader gap)
+- Files changed: `src/components/LoginScreen.tsx`
+- **Learnings for future iterations:**
+  - These are all subtle alignment tweaks — the clamp mid-value change from 1.1vw to 1.2vw shifts rendering by ~1px on 1280px viewports
+  - The label fontWeight 600 matches the dashboard's `CardHeader` convention (seen in `Card.tsx`)
+  - The connection indicator gap of 8px matches the standard icon-text gap used in dashboard card headers
