Form controls were styled "at a distance": Django renders bare
<input>/<select>/<textarea>/<label>, so input.css reached in with ID-scoped
#add-form descendant rules plus a global form *:disabled rule and .errorlist.
The #add-form ID specificity forced state rules to climb, needed
:not([data-search-select-search]) carve-outs, and broke on markup changes — it
surfaced as the add_purchase Name/related_game fields not reading as disabled.
Components now own all form styling via utilities on the elements themselves:
- PrimitiveWidgetsMixin stamps INPUT/SELECT/TEXTAREA_CLASS (incl. disabled:
variants) onto native widgets by type, skipping SearchSelect (self-styled)
and checkboxes.
- New FormFields(form, *, extras=...) renders label + control + errors + row
layout with their own classes (replaces form.as_div()); the <form> owns its
flex layout. extras appends a node into a named field's row (session
timestamp buttons).
- AddForm/purchase/session render via FormFields; login too — a new
LoginForm(PrimitiveWidgetsMixin, AuthenticationForm) styles its inputs and
auth.py renders it via FormFields + a StyledButton (was as_table).
- input.css loses the entire #add-form block, the global :disabled rule, and
.errorlist. State (disabled:) now lives on the element — no specificity wars,
no carve-outs, robust to markup edits.
Tests: error rendering uses the component class (not .errorlist); add-form
labels/inputs carry their own classes; e2e login fixtures click the Login
button by text (submit is now a <button>); Name disabled cursor asserted.
CLAUDE.md documents the no-styling-at-a-distance + FormFields conventions.
