## QA Results
### Review Date: 2025-12-26
### Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)
### Risk Assessment
**Risk Level: Low-Medium**
- No auth/payment/security files directly modified
- Tests added (27 tests covering all acceptance criteria)
- Story has extensive AC (18+ criteria) - but all well-covered
- Clean diff with focused UI components
- No previous gate failures
### Code Quality Assessment
**Overall: Excellent**
The implementation demonstrates high-quality code practices:
1. **Component Architecture**: Clean separation of concerns with dedicated components:
- `navigation.blade.php` - Self-contained navigation with Alpine.js state
- `footer.blade.php` - Reusable footer component
- `logo.blade.php` - Logo with graceful fallback
- `layouts/public.blade.php` - Clean layout wrapper
- `language-toggle.blade.php` - Standalone language switcher
2. **Mobile-First Design**: Properly implements responsive patterns with `md:` breakpoints and mobile menu toggle via Alpine.js
3. **Accessibility**:
- ARIA attributes present (`aria-expanded`, `aria-label`)
- Touch-friendly targets (44px minimum via `min-h-[44px]`)
- Proper semantic HTML (`<nav>`, `<address>`, `<footer>`)
4. **RTL/LTR Support**: Correctly uses `border-s-2` for logical start border that works in both directions
5. **Testing Strategy**: Excellent use of `data-test` attributes for reliable test selectors
