What shipped

Quiet day AI — when 0/0 route, surfaces notebook items + week lookahead with creative Claude suggestions

Recipe ingredients AI route — POST /api/ai/recipe-ingredients, fuzzy match saved recipes first, fallback to Claude

Capture → Notebook — nav label only, URL stays /capture

4+More mobile nav — 4 primary tabs + More drawer for Plan, Curriculum, Handoff, Settings

ForgeHome → Hearth — app name, layout wordmarks, root metadata

Warm amber palette — globals.css full rewrite, sidebar brown #1C1410, primary #C17A2E

Teal hardcodes removed — HandoffCourtney, HandoffZeb, background tile pattern removed

Website Hearth product page — hearthliving.jpg hero, amber #C17A2E throughout
