What

Fix the Event Graph card styling on the live dashboard. The card is functional but visually broken — emojis render as text, buttons stack vertically with no spacing, and the layout is cramped.

Why

Event Graph card is now live on the dashboard but lacks the polish it needs. The backend and HTMX integration are working — this is purely a CSS/styling task.

Files

Template: workspace-socrates/hoffdesk-api/dashboard/templates/dashboard.html.j2
CSS: workspace-socrates/hoffdesk-api/dashboard/static/dashboard.css
Screenshot: See Matt's attached image showing current broken state

Specific Issues to Fix

Family member emojis — 👤 renders as text fallback instead of proper icons/colors
Action buttons — Confirm/Decline/Counter buttons stack vertically with no margin/padding
Card spacing — Events are cramped together, need proper gap between cards
Status badges — "Needs Confirmation" / "Confirmed" labels need proper styling
Date/time layout — The 🕐📅 emojis + text layout is messy

Success Criteria

Event cards look polished and professional on mobile (iPhone Safari)
Family member pills show with proper colors (not just 👤 emoji)
Action buttons are horizontally aligned with proper spacing
Overall card matches the quality of the Weather and Health cards

Context

The Event Graph card polls /ui/events-list every 30s via HTMX
The card HTML is rendered server-side from events_list.html.j2 component
Current CSS file: 1213 lines, already has event styling but it's broken

Revision Notes (Matt's Feedback)

Events need to be visually distinct as separate mini-cards
Each mini-card should have a color-coded border or background based on event type/category
Family member pills need distinct colors (not just text):
Sullivan: blue
Harper: pink
Aundrea: purple
Matt: gold/yellow
Status badges need proper pill styling with background colors:
Confirmed: green background
Needs Confirmation: orange/amber background
Pending: purple background
Action buttons need consistent styling (all should look like actual buttons, not just text boxes)
Date/time should be cleaner (remove raw ISO dates, just show human-readable format)
⚡ Conflict indicator on "Family Movie Night" needs proper warning styling

Matt's Screenshot Reference

See attached image showing current state after initial polish. Events are stacked without visual separation. Need card-style mini-cards with shadows/borders.
