-- ~~Reconcile `customerCode` bug~~ — fixed on `main` in commit `3c38333` ("pass customerCode (not helcimCustomerId) to Helcim transactions API"). Verified in `server/api/internal/reconcile-payments.post.js:97`.
-- ~~Drive-by from 2026-04-29 phantom-Tailwind sweep: `app/components/EventSeriesBadge.vue` has zero usages~~ — deleted 2026-04-29 (commit `f85f284`); 81 lines removed.
-- Simplify-pass follow-ups (2026-04-29): smallest wins shipped in commit `26791cc`; deferred items (rename `setPaymentBridgeCookie`, dedup admin `STATUS_LABELS`, extract `.tint-candle`/`.tint-ember` utilities, audit `member &&` truthy checks in sibling routes, restore `ImageUpload` alt-text input focus styling) tracked in `docs/TODO.md` § _Simplify-pass follow-ups — 2026-04-29_.
 
 ### Known gotchas worth addressing post-launch
 
@@ -153,13 +150,14 @@ See `docs/TODO.md` for:
 
 Context: Phase 4 audit against `docs/specs/events-visual-audit-findings.md` fixed all critical phantom-palette, rounded-corner, CTA-mismatch, and input-styling issues across `EventTicketCard`, `EventTicketPurchase`, `EventSeriesTicketCard`, `SeriesPassPurchase`. Items below were explicitly deferred or out of reach.
 
-- ~~**Success-state color convention (4 instances).**~~ Resolved 2026-04-29: gold (`--candle`) chosen as zine-consistent. Phantom-Tailwind cleanup shipped in `dc2becf` (`EventSeriesTicketCard.vue` + `SeriesPassPurchase.vue` member-benefit notice).
+- **Success-state color convention (4 instances).** "You're Registered!" blocks use `--candle` (gold) instead of `--green`. Touches `EventSeriesTicketCard.vue:186-196` (still uses phantom `candlelight-*` classes — preserved byte-for-byte pending decision) and registered-state wrappers in `SeriesPassPurchase.vue`. Needs a UX call on whether success should render gold (zine-consistent) or green (semantic). Once decided, finish the phantom-palette removal on those 4 lines.
-- ~~**Sidebar breakpoint unverified.**~~ Verified clean 2026-04-29 — `.events-mini` hides at ≤1024px cleanly across 1023/1024/1025/1100. Actual rule lives in `EventsMiniSidebar.vue:129` + `ColumnsLayout.vue:83` (audit doc cited the wrong line).
+- **Sidebar breakpoint unverified.** `app/layouts/default.vue:89` hides the sidebar at ≤1024px per spec. Browser `resize_window` tool refused viewport changes during the audit, so the actual crossover and any layout shift at 1023–1025px was never visually confirmed. Do a manual responsive check before declaring the sidebar pattern shipped.
-- ~~**`EventTicketPurchase.vue:469` magic padding.**~~ Fixed 2026-04-29 (commit `7e44809`); consent block now uses a grid approach.
+- **`EventTicketPurchase.vue:469` magic padding.** `.consent-hint { padding-left: 24px; }` is a hardcoded offset to align the hint under the checkbox text. Cosmetic; swap for a gap/grid approach when touching the consent block next.
-- ~~**`.section-label` extraction candidate.**~~ Verified 2026-04-29 — utility already exists at `main.css:128` and is used in 30+ places. Two scoped overrides intentionally diverge.
+- **`.section-label` extraction candidate.** Several audited files repeat the same uppercase/letter-spaced small label pattern inline. Low-priority refactor into a utility class in `main.css`.
-- ~~**Past-events toggle component.**~~ Audited 2026-04-29 — consistent with the design system (dashed-border button, gold active state, valid `aria-pressed` toggle). Added missing `:focus-visible` outline in commit `dadec1a`; no other changes warranted.
+- **Past-events toggle component.** Existing, untouched this pass; noted in findings doc as a future consistency check.
 
 ### Contribution-amount redesign — cosmetic cleanup (naming only, not behavior)
-
+- Rename admin members column header "Tier" → "Contribution" (`app/pages/admin/members/index.vue:265`).
-SHIPPED 2026-04-29 in commit `955217a` (admin column header, dropdown labels, handler rename, log message).
+- Update error log message referencing "tier" in `server/api/members/update-contribution.post.js:221`.
+- Rename `handleUpdateTier` handler in `app/pages/member/account.vue`.
