# Design QA: Account Settings

- Mobile implementation: `C:/Users/guill/AppData/Local/Temp/kview_investor-account-settings-390x844.png`

- Focused comparison: `C:/Users/guill/AppData/Local/Temp/kview_investor-account-settings-focused-comparison.png`
- Desktop viewport: 1640 x 826
- Mobile viewport: 390 x 844
- State: User settings selected; email and password disclosures collapsed

## Full-View Comparison

The implementation follows the reference hierarchy: a quiet account profile row followed by flat account-security rows with right-aligned actions. kView INVESTOR's existing sidebar, top tabs, DM Sans typography, blue tokens, and compact operational density are intentionally retained.

## Focused Comparison

The focused account region confirms matching avatar/name grouping, horizontal section rhythm, secondary descriptions, and disclosure actions. Additional two-factor and passkey rows from the reference were not reproduced because those capabilities do not exist in kView INVESTOR yet.

## Required Fidelity Surfaces

- Fonts and typography: Passed. Existing DM Sans and kView INVESTOR weights remain consistent; hierarchy mirrors the reference without importing another product's type scale.
- Spacing and layout rhythm: Passed. Profile and security sections use clear dividers, aligned rows, and a bounded content width.
- Colors and visual tokens: Passed. kView INVESTOR surface, divider, text, focus, and primary-action tokens are used consistently.
- Image quality and asset fidelity: Passed. The real user avatar is rendered through the existing private avatar component with a sharp circular crop and initials fallback.
- Copy and content: Passed. Labels are concise and describe only currently supported kView INVESTOR capabilities.

## Comparison History

1. Initial open disclosures used a long blue outline and the mobile password description could clip.
2. Focus treatment was changed to a subtle inset accent, action buttons were kept compact, and mobile descriptions were allowed to wrap.
3. Post-fix desktop and 390 px captures show no horizontal overflow, clipped controls, or overlapping content.

## Interaction Checks

- Profile name and avatar controls render correctly.
- Email disclosure opens and closes; its form is visible only when requested.
- Password disclosure opens and closes; all three fields remain visible and contained.
- Browser console: no warnings or errors.

## Findings

No actionable P0, P1, or P2 differences remain. The implementation intentionally uses kView INVESTOR's denser type scale and omits unsupported security features.

final result: passed

# Design QA: Persistent Settings Modal

- Source visual truth: `/Users/guillaumenahum/.codex/attachments/74359517-a8ea-4d32-8714-8f7781999e3a/codex-clipboard-0cee4ee4-c539-43cf-bd68-7c3a4b6c0929.png`
- Desktop implementation, account: `/tmp/kview_investor-settings-modal-qa/desktop-account-1042.png`
- Desktop implementation, preferences: `/tmp/kview_investor-settings-modal-qa/desktop-preferences-1042.png`
- Mobile implementation: `/tmp/kview_investor-settings-modal-qa/mobile-account-390.png`
- Full-view comparison: `/tmp/kview_investor-settings-modal-qa/reference-comparison.png`
- Desktop viewport: 1042 x 1017
- Mobile viewport: 390 x 844
- State: General Partners page preserved behind the modal; Preferences selected for the primary visual comparison

## Full-View Comparison

The implementation matches the reference interaction model and primary composition: a dimmed but still recognizable current page, a large centered white modal, a quiet left settings rail, independently scrolling content, and a close command in the upper-right corner. kView INVESTOR intentionally retains its own DM Sans/Poppins typography, blue selection language, icons, settings taxonomy, and supported form content.

## Focused Comparison

The desktop Preferences capture was inspected at original size alongside the combined comparison. The modal frame, sidebar-to-content proportion, selected navigation treatment, header alignment, field rhythm, dividers, close control, and backdrop density were all readable without a separate crop. The mobile capture was inspected independently because the Notion source does not provide a mobile state.

## Required Fidelity Surfaces

- Fonts and typography: Passed. Notion's neutral typography hierarchy is translated through kView INVESTOR's existing DM Sans/Poppins tokens with comparable title, section, label, and helper-text roles.
- Spacing and layout rhythm: Passed. The modal uses a stable 230 px navigation rail, bounded desktop frame, independent content scroll, consistent dividers, and a full-viewport mobile layout.
- Colors and visual tokens: Passed. The white content surface, cool secondary rail, dark translucent backdrop without blur, and blue selected/action states follow kView INVESTOR tokens while preserving the source hierarchy.
- Image quality and asset fidelity: Passed. No new raster imagery was required; the existing kView INVESTOR logo, avatar, and registered icon components render sharply and consistently.
- Copy and content: Passed. The reference's settings hierarchy is preserved, while labels and fields describe only real kView INVESTOR capabilities.

## Comparison History

1. P1: Focus could briefly return to the document after the loading shell was replaced. The modal now focuses the selected settings tab synchronously and verifies focus again on the next animation frame.
2. P2: Hovering an internal settings link still triggered the global page prefetch. Settings triggers, tabs, reload links, and close links now opt out of page loading and use only the settings fragment owner.
3. P1: Successful form redirects could download a complete dashboard document, and validation redirects could target the underlying page. Modal submissions now use a JSON success contract, `422` JSON validation, and an explicit fragment refresh with the modal header.
4. Post-fix browser evidence confirms no document navigation, no console errors, no page errors, and no horizontal overflow at 1042 px or 390 px.

## Interaction Checks

- Opening Settings leaves `/gps` in the address bar and preserves the same ERP table DOM node.
- Table search text, row selection, selection count, and current content remain unchanged after close.
- The background dashboard becomes inert and `aria-hidden` only while the modal is open.
- Settings section changes are local and make no network request.
- Preference submission uses `POST /preferences` JSON followed by one fragment-only `GET /settings?tab=preferences`.
- Invalid profile data returns `422` JSON, renders an inline error connected through `aria-invalid` and `aria-describedby`, and leaves the modal and underlying page intact.
- Close restores focus to the sidebar Settings trigger.
- Opening from the account popover and closing with Escape returns focus to the account-menu trigger.
- Mobile modal fills 390 x 844 exactly with no horizontal overflow.
- Browser unexpected console errors: none. Chrome emitted the expected failed-resource line for the deliberate `422` validation request.
- Browser page errors: none.

## Findings

No actionable P0, P1, or P2 differences remain. The denser two-column kView INVESTOR preference form and kView INVESTOR-specific navigation taxonomy are intentional product adaptations rather than fidelity regressions.

final result: passed
