ahmido 3eff4d8579 Spec 325: add screenshot-anchored strategic target images (#385)
## Summary
- add the Spec 325 artifacts for screenshot-anchored strategic target images
- update the UI/UX enterprise audit documents to capture strategic surfaces and grouped follow-up candidates
- add supporting follow-up specs, target experience briefs, and target image assets for the audit workflow

## Testing
- not run (documentation/spec artifact changes only)

Strategic Target Image Shortlist

Field Value
Spec Spec 325 - Screenshot-Anchored Strategic Target Images & Experience Briefs
Selection date 2026-05-17
Branch 325-screenshot-anchored-strategic-target-images
Base commit inspected e35706b8
Source baseline Spec 323 audit artifacts and Spec 324 UI coverage guardrails
Runtime posture Docs/image artifacts only
Premium visual reference ../target-images/reference/spec-325-premium-reference/

Selection Rationale

The shortlist selects 9 P0/P1 surfaces from the 44 strategic rows in ../strategic-surfaces.md. This stays within the Spec 325 maximum of 10 surfaces while covering the highest-value product narratives: workspace entry, environment posture, operations truth, governance decisions, customer-safe review, audit proof, restore safety, provider readiness, and drift/baseline decisions.

All 44 strategic rows are not covered because many rows are detail variants, CRUD-adjacent pages, repeated domain lists, system-plane surfaces, or pages that require a separate seeded fixture or pattern-library pass. Spec 325 is a target-image direction wave, not an all-surface redesign.

Premium Visual Reference Decision

The user accepted four premium visual references as final enough for the Tenantial target direction:

  • ../target-images/reference/spec-325-premium-reference/platform-overview-premium-reference.png
  • ../target-images/reference/spec-325-premium-reference/governance-inbox-premium-reference.png
  • ../target-images/reference/spec-325-premium-reference/backup-restore-premium-reference.png
  • ../target-images/reference/spec-325-premium-reference/evidence-audit-premium-reference.png

These references supersede the first generated Spec 325 PNGs as visual-quality calibration. The earlier generated images remain useful as IA/content scaffolds only. The accepted reference direction is dark, dense, calm, premium, enterprise-grade, sidebar/topbar anchored, and workbench-oriented.

Runtime implementation must not copy the reference images blindly. Concrete metrics, dates, entities, success states, dangerous-action affordances, and shown actions are conceptual until repo-verified.

Selected Surfaces

ID Surface Priority Persona Source screenshot Source report Target brief Target images Repo-truth notes
UI-001/UI-002 Workspace Overview P0 Workspace owner / MSP operator ../screenshots/desktop/ui-001-workspace-overview.png ../page-reports/ui-001-workspace-overview.md workspace-overview.md ../target-images/target/workspace-overview-target-dark.png, ../target-images/target/workspace-overview-target-light.png Repo-verified route and screenshot; target simplifies competing next actions.
UI-011 Environment Dashboard P0 Environment operator ../screenshots/desktop/ui-002-environment-dashboard.png ../page-reports/ui-002-environment-dashboard.md environment-dashboard.md ../target-images/target/environment-dashboard-target-dark.png, ../target-images/target/environment-dashboard-target-light.png Repo-verified route and screenshot; target separates posture, proof, and diagnostics.
UI-016 Operations Hub P0 Operations responder ../screenshots/desktop/ui-003-operations.png ../page-reports/ui-003-operations.md operations-hub.md ../target-images/target/operations-hub-target-dark.png, ../target-images/target/operations-hub-target-light.png Repo-verified route and screenshot; target keeps execution truth separate from governance health.
UI-028 Governance Inbox P0 Governance operator ../screenshots/desktop/ui-004-governance-inbox.png ../page-reports/ui-004-governance-inbox.md governance-inbox.md ../target-images/target/governance-inbox-target-dark.png, ../target-images/target/governance-inbox-target-light.png Repo-verified route and screenshot; target makes the human decision moment explicit.
UI-038 Customer Review Workspace P0 Customer reviewer / auditor ../screenshots/desktop/ui-006-customer-review-workspace.png ../page-reports/ui-006-customer-review-workspace.md customer-review-workspace.md ../target-images/target/customer-review-workspace-target-dark.png, ../target-images/target/customer-review-workspace-target-light.png Repo-verified route and screenshot; target is customer-safe and evidence-first.
UI-025 Audit Log P0 Auditor / security reviewer ../screenshots/desktop/ui-008-audit-log.png ../page-reports/ui-008-audit-log.md audit-log.md ../target-images/target/audit-log-target-dark.png, ../target-images/target/audit-log-target-light.png Repo-verified route and screenshot; target turns raw event history into audit proof.
UI-053/UI-054 Restore Safety Workflow P0 Restore operator / approver ../screenshots/desktop/ui-014-restore-runs.png ../page-reports/ui-014-restore-runs.md restore-safety-workflow.md ../target-images/target/restore-safety-workflow-target-dark.png, ../target-images/target/restore-safety-workflow-target-light.png Route repo-verified but browser blocked by capability/state; target is constrained to safety workflow guidance.
UI-072/UI-073 Provider Readiness P0 Provider administrator ../screenshots/desktop/ui-009-provider-connections.png ../page-reports/ui-009-provider-connections.md provider-readiness.md ../target-images/target/provider-readiness-target-dark.png, ../target-images/target/provider-readiness-target-light.png Repo-verified route and screenshot; target focuses on connection health and permission readiness.
UI-061 Baseline Compare / Drift P0 Governance operator ../screenshots/desktop/ui-015-baseline-compare-blocked-404.png ../page-reports/ui-015-baseline-compare.md baseline-compare-drift.md ../target-images/target/baseline-compare-drift-target-dark.png, ../target-images/target/baseline-compare-drift-target-light.png Route repo-verified but browser blocked; target stays bounded to compare/readiness hierarchy.

Deferred Strategic Surfaces

Deferred set Reason Recommended later coverage
Decision Register, Exception Detail, Finding Detail Closely related to governance inbox but require detail-state records. Governance implementation wave after inbox pattern is accepted.
Review Register, Review Pack Detail, Stored Report Detail, Evidence Overview Customer/evidence family needs customer-safe review pattern, but Customer Review Workspace and Audit Log provide first anchors. Evidence/Review Pack consumption productization.
Backup Schedules, Backup Sets, Backup Set Create/View Restore Runs selected as the highest-risk restore anchor; backup set pages need capability-backed fixtures. Backup/Restore safety workflow spec with seeded browser proof.
Baseline Profiles, Baseline Profile Detail/Edit, Baseline Compare Matrix, Policy Version Detail Baseline Compare selected as drift decision anchor; library/detail pages can follow after pattern validation. Drift/Baseline decision experience.
Environment Access Scopes, Manage Workspaces, Managed Environments Important RBAC/admin surfaces, but less central to first target-image wave than workspace/environment dashboards. Admin/settings and access-control pattern spec.
Alerts and alert delivery/config pages Operations Hub selected as the monitoring anchor; alert subresources can reuse the operations status grammar later. Operations and alerting domain pattern.
Provider Connection Detail/Edit, Environment Onboarding, Required Permissions Provider Connections selected as readiness anchor; forms and wizard need a later provider onboarding pass. Provider onboarding/readiness UX cleanup.
System-plane dashboard, operations, repair, access logs Platform/internal P2 surfaces and different auth plane. System-plane controls target spec after admin-plane patterns settle.
Inventory coverage and policy version detail Strategic but better handled with drift/evidence patterns and seeded records. Inventory coverage and snapshot proof pattern.

Rejected Mockup Handling

No previous rejected Spec 325 SVG mockup artifacts were present in the working tree. docs/ui-ux-enterprise-audit/mockups/.DS_Store is an operating-system metadata file, not a mockup artifact. The rejected target-image folder still contains a README so future rejected explorations have a documented landing place.

Not Implementation Truth

The target images linked from this shortlist are visual direction artifacts only. Later implementation specs must verify route reality, data availability, authorization, workspace/environment isolation, OperationRun semantics, auditability, dangerous-action behavior, and customer-safe visibility before coding.
