Consistency pass over the parallel-agent work:
- Replace 4 divergent inline header wrappers (flex/inline-flex, gap
10/12px, margin-top present/absent across 8 tool pages) with one shared
.dt-tool-header-actions class; strip the now-redundant per-button
margin-top:0. Every tool header now aligns the local-first pill + Help
button identically.
- Reconcile downloads row: reorder to the page's exceptions-first order
(Review, Unmatched left, Unmatched right, Matched) to match the tabs and
metric strip, and drop the lone competing primary — the four are
parallel exports of equal weight.
Audited and confirmed already-consistent: compact intake banner, privacy
pill markup, .dt-next-step strips, the three coming-soon stubs, primary
CTAs, and the 3-download CSV/audit/config pattern.

Addresses the journey-level review (the app felt like 12 tools sharing a
stylesheet, not one guided product). File-partitioned changes:
Navigation (shell.js): rename Home -> "Start here" with front-door
emphasis (.dt-nav-start); reorder Data Cleaners into pipeline order
(Clean Text -> Standardize -> Fix Missing -> Find Duplicates); new
"Finance" group (Reconcile, PDF to CSV); all stubs moved to a bottom
"Coming soon" group, no longer interleaved with working tools.
Front door (home.html): a prominent primary "Clean these files for me"
that runs the recommended pipeline in order, above the existing
per-finding cards (reframed as "fix one thing at a time").
Shared tokens (app.css): .dt-next-step suggestion strip + .dt-nav-start.
Teach the order: a slim .dt-next-step strip at the end of each linear
cleaner page points to the next pipeline step (Map Columns -> Start here;
orchestrator/Finance pages correctly omit it).
Local-first: the green "Runs 100% locally" pill now sits in every working
tool page's header (home + 8 tools), where client data is entered.
Plain English: jargon relabeled on input controls (coerce, E.164,
NFC/NFKC, sentinels, survivor rule), technical terms kept in tooltips and
audit/output cells only.
Stubs (06/08/07): rebuilt to one identical skeleton — info line + plain
feature list + a real "Notify me when this ships" button; every disabled
control and uploader removed (a dimmed dropzone reads as broken).
Intake: full dropzone+chip replaced with the compact "Using <file>" banner
on Clean Text, Fix Missing, Find Duplicates, and both Reconcile sides.

Find Duplicates (01_deduplicator):
- Delete the redundant outer Options wrapper; surface threshold +
survivor rule directly, push the rest behind a single Advanced pane.
- Disambiguate competing primaries: top result is an auto-resolved
preview (secondary download), review decisions are the single primary.
- Plain-English match labels (exact / approximate); clarify the third.
- Lift the match-card caption to a one-time instruction; note delimiter
is delimited-text-only.
Quality Check (08_validator_reporter) — stub:
- Remove the dead disabled "Load rules file (JSON)" uploader so the
stub invites a single action; keep the informative feature list.
Map Columns (05_column_mapper):
- Regroup schema -> mapping -> strategy/advanced (core task contiguous).
- Make preset-vs-Advanced precedence legible (Custom + modified marker).
- Adopt the compact file-intake banner; drop the duplicate resolved-
mapping table; fix the add-row gutter style.
Combine Files (07_multi_file_merger) — stub:
- Actually disable the Merge CTA (add the disabled attribute).
PDF to CSV (10_pdf_extractor):
- Drop page/raw from the default preview to match export + fix the
horizontal clip; surface raw via per-row affordance + overflow-x.
- Move the column selector above the download button; give auto-excluded
rows a reason; align the files card to Home; de-dupe the row count.
Automated Workflows (09_pipeline_runner):
- Replace hand-edited JSON step config with per-step control expanders;
JSON moved behind Advanced import/export.
- Editing the table marks the mode modified; fold the empty error column
into the status pill; render summaries as plain English; collapse the
explainer by default.
Cross-cutting items (stub standardization on page 10, shared disabled-
field token, remaining intake rollout) deferred to a holistic pass.

Find Unusual Values (06_outlier_detector) — coming-soon stub:
- Anchor the disabled Method on IQR (multiplier 1.5), not Z-score, per
the logged robustness decision.
- Drop the redundant feature bullet list (kept alert + greyed controls
+ disabled button); also fixes the MAD-only-in-bullets mismatch.
- Remove the live uploader that dead-ended into disabled controls.
Clean Text (02_text_cleaner):
- Add an inline hidden-character legend (3 swatches reusing the actual
badge classes) beside the canonical "Show hidden characters" toggle.
- Unify the two hidden-char toggles: preview one is canonical; the
Results bare checkbox is wrapped in a field + bound note.
- Describe all three presets (minimal / excel-hygiene / paranoid).
- Give "Changes by column" a real "column" header instead of the
grey index-gutter style.
Standardize Formats (03_format_standardizer):
- Make preset-vs-control precedence legible: preset shows Custom with a
"modified" marker + base tag, diverging controls flag the winning
value (same pattern as Fix Missing Values).
- Replace the dead-end unparseable alert with a real "Unparseable
cells (47)" expander the alert now points to.
- Honest preview caption: "5 of 6 columns (notes skipped)".
Intake pattern (the cross-page reference) left untouched.

- Pin down strategy precedence: add a resolution-order legend
(per-column -> global -> preset), dim/strike the preset radios when
a global strategy overrides them, and add a "Resolves to" column to
the per-column override table so the winning value is legible.
- Make the demo state honest: Global strategy = median is what drives
the 1,043 fills, resolving the detect-only contradiction.
- Surface the missingness profile as an always-visible block above the
(now-open) Options expander — diagnostic before configuration.
- Stop highlighting unchanged before/after cells (respondent_id 0->0);
show "(global)" placeholders in unset per-column override cells.
- Fold the standalone "Strategy applied per column" table into the
before/after table as a strategy column; inset maxed slider knobs.

- Fix doubled "Invert right amount sign" label: keep the field label,
strip the checkbox caption to the box only (also evens the 3-up row).
- Reorder results exceptions-first: tabs and metric strip both run
Review -> Unmatched left -> Unmatched right -> Matched, with Review
the default active tab and its table as the inline content; Matched
demoted to a trailing context expander.
- Surface the "references must match left count" rule with an inline
validation indicator under the right reference field instead of a
label note alone.
- Mark the required Amount join key with the .req accent star on both
sides so it reads distinct from the optional date/description pickers.

- Findings card no longer truncates silently: panel #1 gains a
.dt-finding-more overflow control ("Show all 8 findings · 5 more").
- Replace the dead "Files analyzed: 3" stat (restated the section meta
+ visible rows) with "Rows scanned" — info not already on screen.
- Collapsed findings panels use a real .is-collapsed state variant
instead of inline margin-bottom:-16px hacks, so states can't drift.
- Action bar buttons are content-sized; drop the 340px island that
jarred against the full-width divider/stats below it.
Branding kept as deliberate landing-style treatment on Home (per
review decision); interior tool pages remain title-only.

Move app.css and shell.js into layout-review/ alongside the .html files
and reference them by bare filename; drop the assets/ subfolder.

Relocate assets/ (app.css, shell.js) from layout-review/ up to the repo
root and rewrite every page's link/script refs to ../assets/.

Static layout mockups for each app tool (deduplicator, text cleaner,
format standardizer, missing handler, column mapper, outlier detector,
multi-file merger, validator/reporter, pipeline runner, PDF extractor,
reconciler) plus index/home shells and shared assets.
