## 🔄 Migration Pattern

### Before (Hardcoded)
```vue
<style scoped>
.card {
  background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9);
  color: #0f172a;
  box-shadow: 0 4px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
  border: 1px solid #cbd5f0;
}

/* Dark mode - requires separate media query */
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  .card {
    background: rgba(15, 23, 42, 0.9);
    color: #f8fafc;
    border-color: #64748b;
  }
}
</style>
```

### After (CSS Variables)
```vue
<style scoped>
.card {
  background: var(--color-bg-card);
  color: var(--color-text-primary);
  box-shadow: var(--shadow-md);
  border: 1px solid var(--color-border-primary);
  /* ✅ Automatically responds to theme changes! */
}
</style>
```

## 🚀 Next Steps

1. **Start with ProfilePage.vue** (100+ colors, highest impact)
2. **Then AccountPage.vue** (billing is critical)
3. **Then Auth pages** (user-facing, important UX)
4. **Then remaining pages** (follow priority order)
5. **Then components** (shared, high reuse count)
6. **Final verification** and testing

**Estimated Completion Time:** 3-4 hours  
**Priority Level:** 🔴 HIGH - System-wide improvement  
**Impact:** Enterprise-grade dark mode across entire application
