+## Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+| Key | Action |
+|-----|--------|
+| Tab | Focus next form field |
+| Shift+Tab | Focus previous form field |
+| Space | Toggle checkbox/radio |
+| Enter | Submit form / Confirm dialog |
+| Escape | Close modal / Cancel dialog |

+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always use labels** — Associate with `for` attribute
+2. **Group related fields** — Use `.form-group` wrapper
+3. **Provide help text** — Use `.form-group-help` for guidance
+4. **Show errors clearly** — Use `.form-error` with specific messages
+5. **Test keyboard navigation** — Use Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, Escape
+6. **Verify contrast** — Check both dark and light modes
+7. **Respect motion preferences** — Use `prefers-reduced-motion` media query
+8. **Validate early** — Real-time feedback, but allow recovery
+9. **Disable during submission** — Prevent duplicate submissions
+10. **Use semantic HTML** — `<fieldset>`, `<legend>`, `<label>` elements

+  You are Danilo, building a bilingual (Italian/English) hacker-themed Hugo theme for danix.xyz. You've completed Weeks 1-4 of a 6-week implementation roadmap (67% complete). Week 4 (Forms & Interactions) is now merged to master with all components fully implemented, tested, and documented.
 
 What we covered:
-  This session focused on concluding Week 3 and preparing Week 4. You identified a regression where the header was scrolling with the page instead of staying fixed. Investigation revealed the header was using sticky positioning, which wasn't working properly. The fix involved changing the header to fixed positioning with left-0 right-0 classes and adding mt-20 margin to the main element to prevent content overlap. Separately, you created comprehensive transition documentation: WEEK3-COMPLETION.md (audit of all Week 3 work), WEEK4-PLAN.md (detailed technical roadmap for forms and interactions), WEEK3-4-TRANSITION.md (git workflow and quick start), PROGRESS-STATUS-WEEK4.txt (cumulative progress tracking), and updated HANDOFF.md. You also confirmed that the z-10 class on main wasn't related to the sticky issue and restored it after fixing the header. All changes were committed and pushed to master.
+  This session completed Week 4: Forms & Interactions. Built a comprehensive form component system with 11 core components: input fields (text, email, password, number), textareas (resizable, auto-expand), select dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, form groups, form layouts (single/multi-column, inline), modals (alert/confirm/content with focus trap), loading spinners, toast notifications, and tooltips. All components support dark/light theme switching, are fully accessible (WCAG AA), keyboard-navigable, and responsive across 320px/768px/1060px+ breakpoints. Created 650+ lines of form CSS, form-components.html demo template with Alpine.js integration, toast-container.html for notifications, form-components.js with utility functions, comprehensive i18n translations (35 strings in English + Italian), WEEK4-IMPLEMENTATION.md (detailed component documentation), and FORM-COMPONENT-GUIDE.md (usage examples for all components).
 
 What was confirmed:
-  The header regression was caused by sticky positioning not working reliably. Fixed positioning with proper margin offset (mt-20) on main element resolves it completely. The z-10 class has no effect on opacity or positioning behavior. Week 3 is fully complete with 14 commits merged to master covering cards, navigation header, hamburger menu, and breadcrumb navigation. Both breadcrumb rendering and logo language-context bugs were successfully fixed in Week 3. All components tested at 320px, 768px, 1060px+ breakpoints with dark/light mode support and WCAG AA accessibility verified.
+  All form components (input, textarea, select, checkbox, radio, form-group) styled and fully functional. Modal system working with Escape key close, backdrop click, focus trap, and smooth animations. Toast notifications auto-dismiss after 5 seconds. Spinner animations smooth and color-correct in both themes. Tooltips positioning accurate in all four directions (top/bottom/left/right). Form validation patterns established with Alpine.js. CSS build time <250ms. No regressions from Weeks 1-3. All components tested at 320px (mobile), 768px (tablet), 1060px+ (desktop) with dark/light mode verified. Keyboard navigation (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, Escape) working across all components.
 
 Still in progress:
-  Nothing from previous sessions. Week 3 is fully merged to master with all objectives achieved. Week 4 is ready to start but not yet initiated.
+  Nothing. Week 4 is complete and merged to master. All 12 tasks completed: form input styles, textarea, select, checkbox/radio, form-group, form layouts, form validation, modal components, loading states, toast/tooltip, testing, and documentation.
 
 Next steps:
-  Create the week-4-forms feature branch and begin Week 4 implementation: Forms & Interactions. This involves building form component system (inputs, textareas, selects, checkboxes, radio buttons, form groups), modal system (alert, confirm, content modals with focus trap), and interactive patterns (loading spinners, toast notifications, tooltips, validation feedback). Estimated 6-8 hours. Follow WEEK4-PLAN.md for the detailed technical roadmap. Remember to run npm run watch during development and npm run build before committing. Test at all responsive breakpoints and both dark/light modes before merging to master at week end.
\ No newline at end of file
+  Create the week-5-animations feature branch and begin Week 5 implementation: Animations & A11y Audit. This involves CSS animations (page transitions, element entrance effects), motion-safe alternatives (respecting prefers-reduced-motion), comprehensive accessibility audit (WCAG 2.1 AA verification across all components), focus management improvements, and animation performance tuning. Reference PROGRESS-STATUS-WEEK4.txt for cumulative metrics. Remember to npm run watch during development and npm run build before committing. Week 5 is estimated 6-8 hours. After Week 5 completion, Week 6 (Pages & Testing) will finalize the theme with About/Contact/404 pages and end-to-end testing.

+## Integration Notes
+
+### Using Form Components in Templates
+
+```html
+{{ define "contact-form" }}
+<form @submit.prevent="submitForm()">
+  <div class="form-group">
+    <label for="name">Name</label>
+    <input type="text" id="name" class="form-input" x-model="form.name" required>
+  </div>
+
+  <div class="form-group">
+    <label for="email">Email</label>
+    <input type="email" id="email" class="form-input" x-model="form.email" required>
+  </div>
+
+  <div class="form-group">
+    <label for="message">Message</label>
+    <textarea id="message" class="form-textarea" x-model="form.message" required></textarea>
+  </div>
+
+  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" :disabled="isSubmitting">
+    {{ i18n "submit" }}
+  </button>
+</form>
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+### Alpine.js Integration
+
+```javascript
+// In your page template
+<div x-data="formComponentsData()">
+  {{ partial "form-components.html" }}
+  {{ partial "toast-container.html" }}
+</div>
+```
+
+### Adding New Form Fields
+
+1. Add CSS class to `main.css` (form-input, form-textarea, etc.)
+2. Use in templates with `.form-input`, `.form-group`, etc.
+3. Add i18n strings to `i18n/en.yaml` and `i18n/it.yaml`
+4. Test in both dark/light modes and all breakpoints
