Brings the live Streamlit app in line with the finalized layout-review mockups (structural/low-risk changes; verified by compile + registry sanity, still pending a streamlit-run visual check): - tools_registry: Data Cleaners now in pipeline order (Clean Text -> Standardize -> Fix Missing -> Find Duplicates); new "finance" section (Reconcile, PDF to CSV) and "coming_soon" section (Find Unusual, Quality Check, Combine Files). Adds those to the Section type + SECTION_LABELS. - app.py: Home becomes the "Start here" front door — a standalone, unlabeled top entry (play_circle icon) ahead of the hidden Activate/Logs/Close pages; nav groups reordered cleaners -> transformations -> automations -> finance -> coming soon. - _legacy.py: render_tool_header now shows the "Runs 100% locally" privacy pill (right-aligned, Ready tools only — omitted on Coming Soon stubs); accent emphasis CSS for the Start-here nav link. - i18n: add nav.start_here_title, nav.section_finance, nav.section_coming_soon to en + es packs. - DECISIONS.md: log the PDF/Reconcile in-bundle (Finance group) call.

# Product & architecture decisions
|
|
|
|
A running log of decisions that aren't obvious from the code and would
|
|
otherwise be re-litigated. Newest first.
|
|
|
|
## 2026-06-08 — PDF to CSV and Reconcile stay in the bundle, under a "Finance" group
|
|
|
|
**Decision:** `10_pdf_extractor` (PDF to CSV) and `11_reconciler` (Reconcile
|
|
Two Files) remain part of the DataTools suite. In the sidebar they are
|
|
segregated into their own **Finance** section, distinct from the
|
|
file-cleaning tools.
|
|
|
|
**Context / why this needed deciding:**
|
|
- Both tools sit outside the documented 9-script cleaning architecture
|
|
(TECHNICAL.md / USER-GUIDE.md stop at the orchestrator).
|
|
- They occupy the "reconciliation / manual data-entry" territory the
|
|
product's honest-positioning note explicitly placed outside a
|
|
file-cleaning tool's scope.
|
|
- A journey-level UX review flagged that every extra tool in the main
|
|
sidebar raises the "which tool do I need?" load for a non-technical
|
|
buyer, so tools serving a different job should live in a clearly
|
|
different place.
|
|
|
|
**Resolution:** Keep them in-bundle (they're built, useful, and ship
|
|
today) but group them under "Finance" so the cleaning flow stays
|
|
uncluttered. Revisit only if a separate finance-focused product emerges.
|
|
|
|
**Implications:**
|
|
- `tools_registry.py`: Reconcile + PDF to CSV carry a `finance` section.
|
|
- Sidebar order: Start here → Data Cleaners → Transformations →
|
|
Automations → Finance → Coming soon.
|
|
- This is the source-of-truth realization of the `layout-review/`
|
|
mockups (see `layout-review/shell.js`).
