# July 7, 2026 — DRE Portal Polish Session

## What was done

Finished and polished all 6 DRE portal pages at `/root/portal-mockup/` and deployed to `/var/www/capabilities/` (served at `portal.debtrecoveryexperts.com`).

## Page-by-page changes

### debt-recovery.html (client intake form)
- Added nav header with links to Client Dashboard, Fee Calculator, Pay
- Fixed "Log in" link → `/dre-client-dashboard.html` (was `#`)
- Wrapped form in `.form-page` div for layout compatibility

### dre-dashboard.html (internal claims queue)
- **Purged all test data** — removed Acme Corp row, claim detail panel, recovery progression, timeline, change history, AI analysis, debtor research, case comparison, next steps
- **Empty state**: "No claims yet. Claims will appear here once clients submit intake forms." — with inbox SVG, CTA button to intake form
- **Zero-value stat cards** — 0 Pending Review, 0 Active Claims, 0 Completed This Week
- Removed "AI Analysis Ready: 5" badge and "1 Pending Approval" widget
- Fixed nav links → aging, new claim, fees pages

### dre-client-dashboard.html (client portal)
- Fixed nav links → Submit Claim, Fee Calculator, Pay (all pointed to `#`)
- Renamed chatbot header: "DRE Assistant" → "Agent DRE", removed "Powered by AI" subtitle
- Fixed "Submit New Claim" → wraps in `<a href="/debt-recovery.html">`
- Fixed "Contact us" link → `/debt-recovery.html` (was `#`)
- Fixed "Privacy policy" link → `/dre-client-dashboard.html` (was `#`)

### dre-case-aging.html (aging report)
- Added nav header with links to Dashboard, Aging (active), New Claim, Fees
- Fixed all "View" links → `/dre-dashboard.html` (were `#`)
- Fixed "Escalate to Tier 4" link → `/dre-dashboard.html`

### dre-fee-calculator.html (fee calculator)
- Added nav header with links to Dashboard, Submit Claim, Fee Calculator (active), Pay
- Fee calculator logic UNCHANGED per instructions

### dre-pay.html (debtor payment page)
- Added nav header with links to Dashboard, Submit Claim, Fee Calculator
- Fixed phone number: `(---) --- ----` → `(832) 790-3456` with `tel:+18327903456`
- Wrapped content in `.pay-page` div for vertical centering

## Key patterns discovered

1. **All pages needed nav headers** — intake form, dashboard, and aging report were missing them entirely
2. **Many `href="#"` links** throughout all pages — each needed a real path
3. **Placeholder phone number** in pay page needed real DRE number
4. **Form pages needed `.form-page` wrapper** when adding a nav header (body was `display:flex`)
5. **Test data in internal dashboard** needed full purge to empty state — can't leave sample rows for a production-facing mockup
