# PROJECT.md — autotq-modern-ejs

## 1) Site overview
- Stack: Node/Express + EJS templates + global CSS/JS.
- Brand/entity: **AutoTQ** / Golden Hour Medical, Inc.
- Content source remains `site.config.js` for factual data (team, literature, testimonials, news, contact), with targeted page-level verbatim official copy now applied where required.
- This revision focused on header brand cleanup and official copy alignment across Home/Research/Testimonials.

## 2) Updated file structure notes (files changed in this pass)
- `views/partials/header.ejs`
- `views/index.ejs`
- `views/research.ejs`
- `views/testimonials.ejs`
- `PROJECT.md`

## 3) Navigation/routes
- Primary nav remains: `/`, `/about-autotq`, `/company`, `/research`, `/literature`, `/news`, `/testimonials`, `/contact`.
- Team profile links from the Company roster continue to use slug routes (e.g., `/<member.slug>`).

## 4) Design system notes (current)
- Header brand area now renders **logo only** (removed redundant plain-text wordmark next to logo).
- Existing logo treatment remains transparent (no forced white logo container/background styles introduced).
- Existing SEO metadata and heading architecture in `views/layout.ejs` remains unchanged.

## 5) Component/content patterns now used
- Home page now includes required official mission/product/problem statements verbatim in semantically relevant hero, context, and evidence-adjacent sections.
- Research source cards now present the exact occlusion and first-time-user claim lines verbatim.
- Testimonials page now presents required direct quote cards verbatim with exact required attributions.

## 6) Content/layout updates by page
- **Header (`views/partials/header.ejs`)**
  - Removed plain text `AutoTQ` wordmark from brand block; retained logo image + home link behavior.
- **Home (`views/index.ejs`)**
  - Inserted required exact official copy lines including mission statement, product description line, AED placement line, and trauma statistics statements.
- **Research (`views/research.ejs`)**
  - Replaced summary claim text with exact official occlusion and first-time-user lines.
- **Testimonials (`views/testimonials.ejs`)**
  - Ensured required five direct quote cards are present exactly as provided.
- **Company (`views/company.ejs`)**
  - No structural changes required this pass; mission/operating mission sections remain free of employee headshots, while team images remain in roster area with Read bio behavior intact.

## 7) Accessibility/UX notes
- Navigation, CTA, and semantic section structure preserved.
- Testimonial quote rendering remains readable in existing card pattern.

## 8) Known TODOs
- Optional next pass: reconcile whether testimonials should be fully config-driven again while preserving exact required quotes.
- Optional next pass: centralize official copy constants for easier compliance updates.
