+# Visual Parity Pass 2 — Implementation Plan
+
+**Goal:** Restore the missing team carousel on `/team/`, fix carousel image distortion, clean up markdown / autoescape glitches in `doctors.md` and navbar — closing the regressions reported after Phase 1.5 deploy.
+
+**Architecture:** New `team_carousel.html` macro + `section.html` dispatch by `page.extra.layout`; rewrite `content/team/employees.md` to carry slides as front-matter data; spot fixes in `doctors.md` and `navbar.html`.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Zola 0.22, Tera, Bootstrap 3 (carousel JS already wired in `base.html`), Font Awesome (icons already loaded).
+
+---
+
+## Task 1: Rewrite `content/team/employees.md` with carousel front matter
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `content/team/employees.md` (full rewrite)
+
+Replace the entire file with TOML front matter holding the five slides and an empty body:
+
+```toml
++++
+title = "Unser Praxis-Team"
+weight = 20
+
+[extra]
+anchor = "employees"
+layout = "carousel"
+
+[[extra.slides]]
+name = "Frau Berscheidt"
+image = "Berscheidt.jpg"
+description = "Medizinische Fachangestellte, Diabetes-Assistentin"
+
+[[extra.slides]]
+name = "Frau Bolz"
+image = "Bolz.jpg"
+description = "Medizinische Fachangestellte"
+
+[[extra.slides]]
+name = "Frau Frohne"
+image = "Frohne.jpg"
+description = "Medizinische Fachangestellte"
+
+[[extra.slides]]
+name = "Frau Merhof"
+image = "Merhof.jpg"
+description = "Medizinische Fachangestellte"
+
+[[extra.slides]]
+name = "Frau Rodrigues"
+image = "Rodrigues.jpg"
+description = "Medizinische Fachangestellte"
++++
+```
+
+Commit:
+```
+fix(team): convert employees.md to carousel front-matter data
+```
+
+## Task 2: Create `templates/macros/team_carousel.html`
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `templates/macros/team_carousel.html`
+
+```html
+{% macro team_carousel(title, anchor, slides) %}
+<section class="employees">
+  <section class="section-title">
+    <div class="container text-center">
+      {%- if anchor %}
+      <div class="anchor" id="{{ anchor }}">
+        <h2>{{ title }}</h2>
+      </div>
+      {%- else %}
+      <h2>{{ title }}</h2>
+      {%- endif %}
+      <span class="bordered-icon"><i class="fa fa-circle-thin"></i></span>
+    </div>
+  </section>
+
+  <div class="container">
+    <div id="employeesSlider" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
+      <div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox">
+        {%- for slide in slides %}
+        <div class="item{% if loop.first %} active{% endif %}">
+          <blockquote>
+            <ul>
+              <li><img src="/images/team/{{ slide.image }}" alt="{{ slide.name }}"></li>
+              <li class="name">{{ slide.name }}</li>
+            </ul>
+            <p>{{ slide.description }}</p>
+          </blockquote>
+        </div>
+        {%- endfor %}
+      </div>
+      <a class="left carousel-control" href="#employeesSlider" role="button" data-slide="prev">
+        <span><i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i></span>
+        <span class="sr-only">Previous</span>
+      </a>
+      <a class="right carousel-control" href="#employeesSlider" role="button" data-slide="next">
+        <span><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></span>
+        <span class="sr-only">Next</span>
+      </a>
+    </div>
+  </div>
+</section>
+{% endmacro %}
+```
+
+Commit:
+```
+feat(templates): add team_carousel macro mirroring live employees block
+```
+
+## Task 3: Wire macro into `templates/section.html`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `templates/section.html`
+
+Add the macro import alongside the others, and branch on `page.extra.layout` in the child-page loop:
+
+```html
+{% extends "base.html" %}
+{% import "macros/section_title.html" as st %}
+{% import "macros/page_title.html" as pt %}
+{% import "macros/team_carousel.html" as tc %}
+
+{% block content %}
+
+{{ pt::page_title(title=section.title) }}
+
+{% if section.content %}
+<section class="ptb-100">
+  <div class="container">
+    <div class="row"><div class="col-md-12">{{ section.content | safe }}</div></div>
+  </div>
+</section>
+{% endif %}
+
+{% for page in section.pages %}
+  {% if page.extra.layout == "carousel" %}
+    {{ tc::team_carousel(
+         title=page.title,
+         anchor=page.extra.anchor | default(value=page.slug),
+         slides=page.extra.slides) }}
+  {% else %}
+    <section class="text ptb-text">
+      {{ st::section_title(title=page.title, anchor=page.extra.anchor | default(value=page.slug)) }}
+      <div class="container">
+        <div class="row">
+          {{ page.content | safe }}
+        </div>
+      </div>
+    </section>
+  {% endif %}
+{% endfor %}
+
+{% endblock %}
+```
+
+Commit:
+```
+feat(templates): dispatch section pages by extra.layout for carousel support
+```
+
+## Task 4: Fix `<h5>` headings in `content/team/doctors.md`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `content/team/doctors.md`
+
+Replace every `#####X` (no space) with `##### X` (with space) — exactly six lines:
+- `#####Qualifikation` → `##### Qualifikation` (3×)
+- `#####Tätigkeitsschwerpunkte` → `##### Tätigkeitsschwerpunkte` (2×)
+- `#####Tätigkeitsschwerpunkt` → `##### Tätigkeitsschwerpunkt` (1×)
+- `#####Interessenschwerpunkt` → `##### Interessenschwerpunkt` (1×)
+
+(Total occurrences: 6 — verified via `grep -c '^#####[^ ]' content/team/doctors.md`.)
+
+## Task 5: Fix `</th>` closing tags in `content/team/doctors.md`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `content/team/doctors.md`
+
+Each doctor block has a schedule table with two `<td>…</th>` mismatches in
+its first row. Replace `</th>` with `</td>` — six total occurrences.
+
+Combine commits 4+5:
+```
+fix(content): proper md headings and td closing tags in doctors.md
+```
+
+## Task 6: Strip base_url from nav permalinks in `templates/partials/navbar.html`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `templates/partials/navbar.html`
+
+For each `<a href="{{ ... .permalink }}">` (two top-level loops, plus the
+mobile menu list further down):
+- Old: `href="{{ sub.permalink }}"` (etc.)
+- New: `href="{{ sub.permalink | replace(from=config.base_url, to='') | safe }}"`
+
+Same treatment for `cpage.permalink` inside the dropdown.
+
+Commit:
+```
+fix(navbar): render nav hrefs as relative paths to match live markup
+```
+
+## Task 7: Build, deploy, verify
+
+- [ ] Run `zola build` from project root. Expect zero warnings/errors.
+- [ ] Read `public/team/index.html` and confirm:
+  - One `<section class="employees">` containing `id="employeesSlider"`.
+  - Exactly five `<div class="item">` blocks (first with `active`).
+  - Each item has `<blockquote><ul><li><img src="/images/team/…"></li><li class="name">…</li></ul><p>…</p></blockquote>`.
+  - No `<p>#####…</p>` literals in the doctors section.
+  - No `</th>` substrings.
+- [ ] Read `public/index.html` and confirm nav `<a href="/services/">` (no `&#x2F;`).
+- [ ] `rsync -avz --delete public/ mycelium:~/public/praxis/`.
+- [ ] `curl -sI https://preview.praxis-am-lienhardplatz.de/team` → expect `HTTP/2 200`.
+- [ ] Final commit on the deploy step:
+
+```
+chore(deploy): visual parity pass 2 — team carousel restored, markup cleaned
+```
+
+- [ ] `git push origin main`.
+
+---
+
+## Self-review checklist (before exec)
+
+- [x] Every spec finding has a corresponding task.
+- [x] No placeholders / TBDs.
+- [x] Type consistency: `slides` list, `slide.image`, `slide.name`, `slide.description` are
+      the same names in employees.md, the macro, and the spec.
+- [x] Images path: `static/images/team/<file>.jpg` → served at `/images/team/<file>.jpg`.
+- [x] Bootstrap-3 carousel auto-init (`data-ride="carousel"`) — no extra JS needed.
+- [x] Footer + base.html unchanged.

+# Visual Parity Pass 2 — Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-21
+**Phase:** 1.6 (regression follow-up to Phase 1.5)
+**Status:** approved (auto-mode, in-session execution)
+
+## Goal
+
+Close the remaining visual gaps reported by the editor after Phase 1.5 deploy:
+the team carousel that was silently dropped during the Grav→Zola content port,
+the image-size distortion on the employee block, and a small set of markdown
+parsing / template autoescape glitches.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- No Phase 2 modernization (typography, mobile, accessibility) — still 1:1 parity.
+- No CSS edits — the live theme CSS is the contract; we change markup to match it.
+- No production cutover. Staging only.
+
+## Reference
+
+- Live source-of-truth (read-only): `/home/brummel/dev/praxis/orig/`
+- Current Zola build output: `/home/brummel/dev/praxis/public/`
+- Phase 1.5 spec: `docs/specs/2026-05-20-praxis-visual-parity-design.md`
+- Phase 1.5 plan: `docs/plans/2026-05-20-praxis-visual-parity.md`
+
+## Findings
+
+### 1. Team carousel missing on `/team/`
+
+Live (`orig/user/themes/praxis/templates/modular/employees.html.twig`) renders a
+Bootstrap-3 carousel: `<section class="employees">` → `<div id="employeesSlider"
+class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">` with one `.item` per slide
+(blockquote / ul / li-img + li.name + p.description), plus `.left/.right
+carousel-control` anchors. Source data is a `slides` list in the
+`employees.md` front matter. CSS rules in
+`orig/user/themes/praxis/css/_style.css:1838–1846` force `img { width:160px;
+height:200px }` for items inside `#employeesSlider .carousel-inner`.
+
+Current Zola output for `/team/` `employees` section is just sequential
+`<img class="float-right">` blocks with `<strong>name</strong>` paragraphs —
+the carousel container, controls, and item wrapping are entirely missing.
+
+### 2. Image-size distortion (carousel slot only)
+
+`templates/macros/image.html` resizes with `op="fit_width"`. For 311×400
+originals at `width=200`, that produces 200×257 — the wrong aspect for the
+160×200 CSS slot. The live site avoids this by serving the raw image and
+letting CSS pin it to 160×200. Doctor portraits (400×400) and services
+thumbnails (600×400) are visually fine; the bug is isolated to the carousel
+images.
+
+### 3. `<h5>` headings not parsed in `content/team/doctors.md`
+
+Markdown source has `#####Qualifikation` with no space after the hashes.
+Grav's markdown parser was tolerant; pulldown-cmark (Zola) is not — output is
+`<p>#####Qualifikation</p>`. Six occurrences across three doctor blocks.
+
+### 4. `</th>` closing tag mismatch in doctors.md tables
+
+`<td>…</th>` pairs in the three doctor schedule tables (six total). Browsers
+recover, but the markup is wrong and inconsistent with the live (which uses
+`<td>…</td>` everywhere).
+
+### 5. Nav-link URLs HTML-entity-encoded
+
+`templates/partials/navbar.html` renders `{{ sub.permalink }}` and
+`{{ cpage.permalink }}` without `| safe`. Tera autoescape converts the
+slashes to `&#x2F;`. Functional but markup-ugly and not parity. Live uses
+relative paths (`/services/`).
+
+## Architecture
+
+### New: `templates/macros/team_carousel.html`
+
+Renders a `<section class="employees">` block:
+- Reuses the section-title structure from `section_title.html` (or inlines it
+  identically — anchor optional).
+- Renders `<div id="employeesSlider" class="carousel slide"
+  data-ride="carousel">` with `.carousel-inner` containing one `<div
+  class="item{% if loop.first %} active{% endif %}">` per slide.
+- Each item: `<blockquote><ul><li><img src="/images/team/{{ slide.image }}"
+  alt="{{ slide.name }}"></li><li class="name">{{ slide.name }}</li></ul><p>{{
+  slide.description }}</p></blockquote>`.
+- Carousel controls: `.left` / `.right` anchors with FA `fa-angle-left/right`.
+
+Images are served raw from `static/images/team/` — no `width`/`height`
+attribute, no resize_image. The CSS slot (`#employeesSlider .carousel-inner
+.item img`) forces the final 160×200 dimensions, exactly as the live site
+does it.
+
+### Modified: `templates/section.html`
+
+When iterating `section.pages`, branch on `page.extra.layout`:
+- `"carousel"` → call `team_carousel(title, anchor, slides)` macro with
+  values pulled from `page.extra`.
+- otherwise → existing `section_title` + `page.content` render.
+
+### Modified: `content/team/employees.md`
+
+Front matter holds the carousel data; body is empty. Schema:
+```toml
++++
+title = "Unser Praxis-Team"
+weight = 20
+
+[extra]
+anchor = "employees"
+layout = "carousel"
+
+[[extra.slides]]
+name = "Frau Berscheidt"
+image = "Berscheidt.jpg"
+description = "Medizinische Fachangestellte, Diabetes-Assistentin"
+
+# … repeated for Bolz, Frohne, Merhof, Rodrigues (5 total, matching live order)
++++
+```
+
+### Modified: `content/team/doctors.md`
+
+- Replace each `#####X` with `##### X` (six occurrences).
+- Replace each `</th>` with `</td>` inside `<td>…</th>` pairs (six occurrences).
+
+### Modified: `templates/partials/navbar.html`
+
+Replace `{{ sub.permalink }}` and `{{ cpage.permalink }}` with the equivalent
+relative-path form: `{{ sub.permalink | replace(from=config.base_url,
+to='') | safe }}` (and same for `cpage`). Mobile-menu list inside the same
+file gets the same treatment.
+
+## Per-Route Definition of Done
+
+- `/team/`:
+  - `<section class="employees">` present, contains `<div
+    id="employeesSlider" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">`.
+  - Exactly five `.item` divs, first with `.active`; each wraps a
+    `<blockquote><ul>…</ul><p>…</p></blockquote>`.
+  - `.left` and `.right` carousel-control anchors with `fa-angle-left/right`
+    icons.
+  - Carousel `<img>` tags have no `width`/`height` attributes (CSS does the
+    sizing).
+  - Doctor block: `<h5>Qualifikation</h5>` and `<h5>Tätigkeitsschwerpunkte</h5>`
+    (etc.) replace the previous `<p>#####…</p>` literals.
+  - Doctor schedule tables: zero `</th>` tags in the rendered HTML.
+- Site-wide nav: no `&#x2F;` sequences in `<a href>` values.
+
+## Risks / Notes
+
+- The `team_carousel` macro intentionally duplicates the section-title
+  markup rather than reusing `section_title.html`, because the live theme
+  wraps it in `<section class="employees">` and the empty-anchor branch is
+  different. Keeping it inline avoids a fragile macro-of-macro chain.
+- `page.extra.layout == "carousel"` is the dispatch key. If we later add
+  other layouts (`map`, `news`, etc. — the live theme has those as modular
+  templates), the same dispatch extends naturally.
+- Image-macro stays unchanged; the carousel deliberately bypasses it.
