Hello @gocanto, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on improving the visual consistency of the application's user interface by standardizing the styling of pagination controls. It achieves this by adopting an existing design pattern for buttons and subsequently removing obsolete CSS, which contributes to a more streamlined and maintainable codebase.

Highlights

• Styling Consistency: The pagination buttons have been updated to reuse the visual styling of the BackToTopLink component, ensuring a consistent look and feel across different UI elements.
• CSS Cleanup: The now-unused .paginatation-buttons CSS helper class has been removed from src/css/support/blog.css, reducing redundancy and simplifying the stylesheet.

Poem

🐰 With pill-shaped buttons smooth and round,
The paginatation typo's finally unbound!
Old classes fade, new utilities bloom,
Back-to-top links vacate the room.
One hop, skip, and a CSS tune—
Cleaner code beneath the moon! 🌙

8-8: Verify the height calculation change.

The height calculation for .recommendations-list changed from 0.8x to 1.04x of the recommendations section minimum height, representing a 30% increase. Ensure this change is intentional and has been visually tested across different screen sizes and content volumes.

---

10-10: LGTM! Good addition of custom scrollbar styling.

The addition of the custom-scrollbar utility enhances the visual consistency of the recommendations list scrollbar.

src/components/PaginationControls.vue (1)

5-10: LGTM! Excellent styling consolidation.

The migration from btn paginatation-buttons (which contained a typo) to the new pill-button utility class successfully consolidates the visual styling with the BackToTopLink component. This improves consistency and maintainability.

src/partials/RecommendationPartial.vue (1)

57-57: LGTM! Clean prop removal.

The removal of backToTopTarget from the component props correctly reflects the simplified UI where BackToTopLink is no longer embedded within the recommendations section. The page-level BackToTopLink (in ResumePage.vue) still provides this navigation functionality.

src/partials/BackToTopLink.vue (1)

2-2: LGTM! Excellent refactoring to utility class.

The simplification from an extensive list of Tailwind utility classes to the single pill-button class significantly improves maintainability while preserving the visual appearance. This enables consistent styling across pagination controls and back-to-top links.

src/pages/ResumePage.vue (1)

47-47: LGTM! Prop usage correctly updated.

The removal of back-to-top-target prop from the RecommendationPartial component usage correctly reflects the component's updated interface. The page-level BackToTopLink (line 52) continues to provide the back-to-top navigation functionality.

src/css/support/utility-patterns.css (1)

46-52: LGTM! Well-designed utility class with proper states.

The new pill-button utility class is well-structured with:

• Comprehensive styling (layout, spacing, borders, colors)
• Proper hover and transition effects
• Dark mode variants
• Disabled state handling

This provides a solid foundation for consistent button styling across pagination controls and navigation links.

tests/partials/RecommendationPartial.test.ts (2)

33-33: LGTM! Test correctly updated for component interface change.

The removal of backToTopTarget prop from the test mount calls correctly reflects the component's updated interface. Test coverage remains comprehensive for the component's remaining functionality.

---

71-71: LGTM! Consistent test update.

The prop removal is correctly applied across all test scenarios, maintaining consistency with the component's updated interface.

Code Review

This pull request updates the pagination controls to use a new visual style and removes the old CSS class. My review focuses on improving maintainability by avoiding code duplication. Instead of inlining a long list of Tailwind CSS utility classes in the Vue component, I suggest updating the removed CSS class with the new styles and reusing it. This keeps the component template clean and centralizes the styling logic.
