   Create `src/types/pmr.ts` with interfaces for: `Patient`, `Consultation` (History/Examination/Plan/CodedEntries), `Medication` (with PrescribingHistory), `Problem` (status, code, outcome), `Investigation` (with results), `Document`, `ReferralForm`. Create `src/data/` directory with files: `consultations.ts` (5 roles from CV_v4.md mapped to consultation format), `medications.ts` (18 skills mapped to medication format with prescribing history), `problems.ts` (8-10 achievements with traffic light status), `investigations.ts` (4 projects with methodology/results), `documents.ts` (MPharm, Mary Seacole, A-Levels, Research). All data must match CV_v4.md exactly with specific numbers (£14.6M, 14,000 patients, etc.).

+- [x] **Task 2: Modify ECGAnimation for PMR flatline transition**
 
   Modify `src/components/ECGAnimation.tsx` to change the exit phase. Instead of fading to white and revealing the CV, the animation should: 1) Complete the name tracing as normal, 2) Hold for 300ms, 3) Draw a flatline extending rightward from the name over 300ms (patient monitor flatline visual), 4) Fade entire canvas to black over 200ms, 5) Transition background to dark blue-gray (#1E293B) over 200ms. Emit `onComplete` callback to trigger LoginScreen. Total ECG phase: ~5-6 seconds. Preserve all existing animation timing for heartbeats and letter tracing.

+### Iteration 2 — Task 2: Modify ECGAnimation for PMR flatline transition
+- **Completed**: Task 2 - Modified ECGAnimation exit phase for clinical flatline → login transition
+- **Files modified**:
+  - `src/components/ECGAnimation.tsx` - Changed exit from fade-to-white to flatline → black → login background
+- **Changes made**:
+  - Replaced HOLD_TIME (0.75s) and EXIT_TIME (0.8s) with precise phase timings:
+    - FLATLINE_HOLD: 300ms (hold after name trace)
+    - FLATLINE_DRAW: 300ms (horizontal line extending rightward)
+    - FADE_TO_BLACK: 200ms (canvas opacity fade)
+    - BG_TRANSITION: 200ms (background to #1E293B login color)
+  - New timing phases: isFlatlinePhase, isFadePhase, isBgTransitionPhase
+  - Background now transitions to login screen color (#1E293B) instead of white
+  - Flatline drawn from final name position to right edge of viewport
+  - Scanline head dot hidden during fade/bg phases
+- **Design decisions**:
+  - Flatline visually reads as patient monitor flatline (deliberate metaphor)
+  - Total ECG phase still ~5-6 seconds, exit adds ~1 second
+  - Background transition uses CSS transition for smooth handoff to LoginScreen
+- **Quality checks**: `npm run typecheck` ✓, `npm run lint` ✓, `npm run build` ✓
+- **Learnings**:
+  - Canvas fade must complete before background transition for clean visual
+  - The flatline extension needs to go slightly past viewport edge (+50px) for smooth visual
