Documents Page:
- Shorten verbose search placeholder to "Search documents..."

Discussions:

  plain-language "**bold**, *italic*, or press Enter"

Dashboard:

- Fix word-boundary truncation (120 chars with conditional ellipsis)
Profile page:
- Add password requirement hint below New Password field

- "Organized by" → "Posted by" (less ambiguous)
- Past events opacity 0.8 → 0.85 (less harsh dimming)

Discussions:
- Fix HTML hint on thread reply page (same fix as discussions list)
  "&lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;" → "**bold**, *italic*, or press Enter"

Update affected test assertions.
- Fix password field selector: getByLabel(/password/i) matched both
  the input AND the "Show password" toggle button. Changed to
  locator('input[name="password"]') across all 15 E2E spec files.
  This was causing 148 out of 213 tests to fail.

- Fix ARC E2E tests to match renamed UI text:
  "Architectural Review Requests" → "My Review Requests"
  "Submit New Request" → "New Request"
  "Submit Architectural Review Request" → "Submit a Review Request"
  "property address is required" → "please enter the property address"
  "category" → "what type of change"
  "description" → "describe your project"
  "Timeline" → "Status History"
  "ARC Categories" heading → "Request Categories"
  "arc request" in queue → "Architectural Review"
  "ARC Requests" breadcrumb → "My Requests"
  "Committee Review Queue" → "Review Queue"

- Fix duplicate sidebar element resolution: all nav link clicks
  and visibility checks use .first() since desktop and mobile
  drawers both render the same link text

- Fix poll E2E: "votes" regex now uses "total votes" to avoid
  matching the "Official Votes" filter button we renamed

Results: 184 passed, 8 ARC data-dependent failures (seed data
join issue), ~17 pre-existing failures in accessibility/vendor specs
Root causes fixed:
- Password field selector: getByLabel(/password/i) matched both input
  AND "Show password" button. Fixed to locator('input[name="password"]')
  across all 15 E2E spec files. (rescued 127 tests)

- API response shape mismatch: backend returns { data: [...] } but
  frontend expected { arcRequests: [...] } and { workflows: [...] }.
  Fixed getArcRequests and getWorkflows to normalize response shape.

- Missing seed config: arc_default_committee_id not set in test seed,
  causing all ARC request creation to fail with 500. Added to seed script.

- Vendor/poll mutation context loss: mutationFn passed as unbound method
  reference (apiService.createVendor) losing `this` context. Fixed
  useCreateVendor and useCreatePoll to use arrow function wrappers.

- Poll vote test: member already voted on seeded poll. Fixed test to
  handle "already voted" state gracefully.

- Vendor approve/deny assertion: text=/approved|success/i matched tab
  labels. Changed to check snackbar container visibility instead.

- ARC E2E text updates: all selectors updated for renamed page text
  (My Review Requests, New Request, Submit a Review Request, etc.)

- Duplicate sidebar elements: desktop+mobile drawers render same text.
  Added .first() to all sidebar navigation clicks and assertions.

- Accessibility focus test: increased tab count and added body click
  to ensure focus enters content area.

Final results: 203 E2E passed, 0 failed, 4 skipped
               368 unit tests passed, 0 failed
Remove unused imports (HowToVote, Alert, Chip) and suppress
eslint for intentional destructuring discard (_confirmPassword).
Increase ArcSubmitPage submit test timeout to 15s for slow CI runners.
Root causes found and fixed:
- ARC detail page: workflow data never loaded because API returns
  workflow as sibling field, not nested in arcRequest. Fixed hook to
  expose detailWorkflow and unwrap double-wrapped useWorkflow response.
- ARC detail crash: null created_at/performed_at dates caused
  "Invalid time value" in date-fns format(). Added null guards.
- Poll creation 404: frontend POST'd to /admin/polls but backend
  route is /polls. Fixed API service endpoint.
- Poll creation dialog: submit button selector matched both the
  dialog trigger and the dialog's own button. Scoped to dialog.
- Poll type dropdown: /informal/i didn't match "Survey — advisory,
  non-binding", leaving dropdown open. Updated to match /survey|advisory/.
- Poll options: form uses single multiline field, not individual inputs.
  Updated tests to use "Options (one per line)" field.
- Vendor tests: "Plumbing" category not in seeded data, changed to
  "Landscaping". Fixed user switching by clearing localStorage.
- Screenshot test: ARC form label is "What type of change?" not
  "category". Fixed selector.
- CI workflows: health check used port 5000 but backend defaults
  to 3001. Fixed both ci.yml and generate-screenshots.yml.

Local results: 213 E2E passed, 368 unit tests passed, 0 lint errors.
A single "one per line" textarea is confusing for non-technical
users. Replaced with individual "Option 1", "Option 2", etc.
input fields with an "Add another option" button and X to remove.
Minimum 2 options enforced by hiding remove buttons at that count.
- Screenshot spec: use individual Option 1/2/3 fields + "Add another
  option" button instead of old textarea approach
- Screenshot 47 (ARC detail): wait for Status History sidebar to load
  before capture (now renders correctly after workflow fix)
- USER_GUIDE.md: fix button label to match UI ("Add another option")
- ADMIN_USER_GUIDE.md: describe individual option fields in poll
  creation steps
The PDF user guide (built from USER_GUIDE.md) had no ARC content
despite the feature being fully implemented. Added a complete
member-facing section covering:
- What needs ARC approval (fences, paint, landscaping, etc.)
- Step-by-step submission with screenshots
- Tips for faster approvals (detail, photos, material specs)
- Uploading supporting documents
- Status tracking with full status table
- Detail page walkthrough (discussion, documents, status history)
- How to appeal a denial

Also added ARC to the Quick Reference Card and Glossary.
