Migration Patterns

Before (Old Pattern)

.nav-item {
  @include genesis-synapse('navigate');
  
  &.active {
    @include genesis-entity('imperative');  // Wrong: visual approach
  }
}

.search-input {
  @include genesis-cognition('discourse');  // Wrong: typography for input
}

.hero-image {
  @include genesis-entity('secondary');  // Wrong: generic entity
}

After (New Pattern)

.nav-item {
  @include genesis-synapse('anchor');  // ⭐ Semantic in-page navigation
  
  &.active {
    @include genesis-state('active');  // ⭐ Proper state variant
  }
}

.search-input {
  @include genesis-synapse('input-primary');  // ⭐ Responsive form input
}

.hero-image {
  @include genesis-entity('image-adaptive');  // ⭐ Responsive media
}

Future Considerations

Not Yet Applied (Available for Future Use)

The following v2.3.0-v2.4.0 variants are available but not yet used in this subdomain:

Advanced Synapse

States

Media

These variants can be adopted as the subdomain evolves and requires these specific patterns.

Backward Compatibility

NOT REQUIRED per issue specification.

This is a forward-looking refactoring to adopt the upgraded theme’s new capabilities. The refactoring breaks with old patterns to embrace the new semantic system fully.

Testing Recommendations

Manual Testing

  1. Mobile Testing: Verify touch targets are comfortable on mobile devices
  2. Responsive Testing: Check layouts at 375px, 768px, and 1440px viewports
  3. Navigation Testing: Test all navigation patterns (tabs, sidebar, anchors)
  4. Form Testing: Verify form inputs are WCAG compliant
  5. Image Testing: Confirm images maintain aspect ratio
