Roadmap item: P2 Frontend — No dark mode

Tailwind CSS is already configured in the project but no dark: variant classes are applied to any components. Users have no way to switch to a dark color scheme.

Work Required:

  1. Enable dark mode in tailwind.config.js (class-based strategy recommended for manual toggle).
  2. Apply dark: variants to all core UI components: navigation, cards, tables, forms, buttons.
  3. Add a theme toggle button (sun/moon icon) in the top navigation bar that persists the preference to localStorage.
  4. Ensure the dashboard, batch, analytics, and auth pages all render correctly in dark mode.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Toggling the theme button switches the entire app between light and dark color schemes.
  • Preference is persisted across page reloads via localStorage.
  • All pages pass a visual review with no white-on-white or black-on-black text/background combinations.
  • No regressions to existing light mode appearance.

[Repo Manager] This issue is already resolved. Dark mode is fully functional:

  1. ThemeContext (src/context/ThemeContext.tsx) provides a toggle that adds/removes the dark class on <html>, persisted in localStorage.
  2. Tailwind config sets darkMode: "class" and maps all semantic colors (bg-bg-dark, text-text-primary, etc.) to CSS custom properties.
  3. CSS custom properties in index.css define light and dark color palettes that swap when .dark is present.
  4. All page components use the variable-based Tailwind classes, so they automatically adapt when dark mode is toggled.

This is a CSS-variable-based approach rather than per-component dark: prefixes, which is an equally valid (and more maintainable) pattern. Closing as complete.
