Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Complete 3.3.2: Touch Interaction Optimization

- Verified 44px minimum touch targets already in place
- Added swipe gesture support for mobile chat toggling
- Implemented pull-to-refresh functionality for mobile
- Added double-tap gesture for fullscreen toggle on video area
- All touch interactions are mobile-only to avoid desktop conflicts

 **Notes:** Implemented comprehensive mobile-first responsive design. Updated layout.css to use BEM class names, added vertical stacking layout for mobile (flex-direction: column), chat slides up from bottom as modal overlay on mobile instead of collapsing to the side. Enhanced touch-friendly navigation with 44px minimum touch targets already in place. Updated ui-controls.js to handle mobile chat overlay behavior. Desktop remains side-by-side layout while mobile prioritizes video content with chat on-demand.
 
 #### 3.3.2: Touch Interaction Optimization
-- [ ] Ensure 44px minimum touch targets
-- [ ] Implement swipe gesture support
-- [ ] Add mobile-specific interactive elements

+- [x] Implement swipe gesture support
+- [x] Add mobile-specific interactive elements

+**Notes:** Implemented comprehensive touch interaction enhancements for mobile devices. The 44px minimum touch targets were already in place using var(--min-tap-target-size, 44px) in components.css. Added swipe gesture support on video area for chat toggling (swipe left to hide, right to show chat on mobile). Implemented pull-to-refresh functionality that triggers refresh when pulling down from top of page on mobile. Added double-tap gesture on video area to toggle fullscreen. All touch interactions are mobile-only to avoid conflicts on desktop.
 
 #### 3.3.3: Mobile Navigation
 - [ ] Create bottom navigation pattern

 **Notes:** Implemented comprehensive touch interaction enhancements for mobile devices. The 44px minimum touch targets were already in place using var(--min-tap-target-size, 44px) in components.css. Added swipe gesture support on video area for chat toggling (swipe left to hide, right to show chat on mobile). Implemented pull-to-refresh functionality that triggers refresh when pulling down from top of page on mobile. Added double-tap gesture on video area to toggle fullscreen. All touch interactions are mobile-only to avoid conflicts on desktop.

+- [x] Create bottom navigation pattern
+- [x] Implement mobile chat controls
+- [x] Add mobile-specific UI toggles
+
+**Notes:** Implemented comprehensive mobile bottom navigation bar with essential controls. Added fixed bottom navigation with 4 main buttons (Chat, Refresh, Fullscreen, PiP) that appears only on mobile devices (max-width: 767px). Navigation includes proper touch targets (44px minimum), Dodgers-themed styling with gradient background, and accessibility features. Integrated with existing mobile touch gestures and maintains compatibility with swipe controls. Added safe area support for devices with notches. Bottom navigation provides easy access to core functionality without obscuring video content.

 ### Sub-task 3.5: Cross-Device Synchronization
 
 #### 3.5.1: Adaptive Component Behavior
-- [ ] Ensure consistent scaling across devices
-- [ ] Implement responsive component states
-- [ ] Test touch vs mouse interaction patterns
+- [x] Ensure consistent scaling across devices
+- [x] Implement responsive component states
+- [x] Test touch vs mouse interaction patterns
+
+**Notes:** Comprehensive adaptive component behavior system implemented with:
+
+- **Consistent Scaling & Touch Targets (44px minimum)**:
+  - CSS variables system with `--min-tap-target-size: 44px` and responsive variants
+  - All interactive elements (buttons, form controls, navigation) ensure minimum 44px touch targets across devices
+  - Responsive button scaling: `.btn-responsive-*` utilities with breakpoint-specific sizing
+  - Mobile-safe navigation with enhanced touch targets (max-width: 767px)
+
+- **Responsive Component States**:
+  - Complete breakpoint override system (xs/sm/md/lg/xl/2xl) for all components:
+    - Buttons: Adaptive padding, font sizes, and minimum heights based on viewport
+    - Cards: Responsive padding that scales from compact mobile to spacious desktop
+    - Forms: Adaptive input sizing and spacing across breakpoints
+    - Chat messages: Dynamic text scaling and maximum widths responsive to container
+    - Video player: Header and control element responsive sizing
+  - Container query support for size-aware responsive design (@container rules)
+  - Component-specific responsive utilities (.btn-responsive-*, .card-responsive-*, .message-responsive-*)
+
+- **Cross-Device Interaction Patterns**:
+  - **Mobile (< 640px)**: Touch-optimized with swipe gestures (chat toggle, fullscreen), pull-to-refresh, double-tap fullscreen, bottom navigation overlay
+  - **Tablet (640px-1023px)**: Swipe-to-seek video controls, touch-friendly scaling, side-by-side layout maintained
+  - **Desktop (≥ 1024px)**: Mouse-focused interactions, no conflicting touch gestures, full feature access
+  - Device detection and appropriate interaction mode selection in ui-controls.js
+
+- **Advanced Responsive Features**:
+  - Container queries enable components to respond to parent container size, not just viewport
+  - Fluid typography scaling with clamp() functions for smooth font size transitions
+  - Automatic layout adaptation (mobile: stacked/vertical, tablet: side-by-side, desktop: enhanced)
+  - Touch gesture handling with proper passive event listeners for performance
+  - Mobile navigation with safe area support for notched devices
+
+All components now consistently scale and behave appropriately across devices while maintaining 44px minimum touch targets. Touch and mouse interaction patterns are optimized for their respective input methods with device-specific gesture support. Responsive behavior verified across 6 breakpoints from xs (320px) to 2xl (1536px+) with smooth transitions between states.
