Frontend do-over

[michaelzwang13]

Rebuild app/ as a coherent product UI.

Context

The current frontend was salvaged from five design-exploration mockups — Signal Feed, Directory, and Status were kept; the other mockups (Departure Board, Terminal, Schematic) and the design-picker Home were deleted. It has no real hire flow, and the "retro-futurist signal" aesthetic was an exploration, not a decided product direction.

Scope (to define)

• Visual direction — keep the current aesthetic or start fresh.
• Information architecture built around the real product flow: hire → onboard → monitor → review.
• Component system / design tokens.
• Should fold in the hire & offboard flow (Hire & offboard flow missing from the UI #13).
• Recommend using the frontend-design skill.

Open questions

• What's driving the do-over — aesthetics, IA, or both?
• Greenfield rebuild or incremental refactor?
