Implementation Summary - SYNCHRONIZED WITH REQUIREMENTS ✅

Requirements Synchronization Complete ✅

✅ Successfully synchronized requirements, development plan, and implementation ✅ All tests passing (43/43) ✅ New requirements compliance implemented

Key Requirement Changes Implemented:

  1. "After providing each answer the user sees the feedback and needs to press ENTER to proceed to the next question or end of drill/test."
  2. "Application has to look the same independently of OS theme whether it is light or dark theme. Application should always have modern dark mode and colors."

Major Updates Made for Synchronization

1. ✅ Development Plan Updated

  • Task 4.4: Modified to reflect ENTER key requirement for feedback progression
  • New Milestone 7: UI Look and Feel Implementation with comprehensive dark mode requirements
  • Updated to specify manual user control instead of automatic timing
  • Added UI theme consistency testing requirements
