>
  Content
</Link>
```

### Pattern 2: Clickable Divs

## 📁 Files Requiring Fixes (Priority Order)

### High Priority (Most Visible)
1. ✅ `components/layout/Sidebar.tsx` - Navigation links (already has some hover states, verify all)
2. `views/DashboardView.tsx` - Project cards, buttons, tabs
3. `views/ProjectsListView.tsx` - Project cards, actions
4. `views/ProjectDetailView.tsx` - Action buttons, tabs
5. `views/ItemDetailView.tsx` - Links, buttons, tabs

### Medium Priority
6. `components/specifications/**/*Card.tsx` - All card components
7. `components/graph/nodes/*.tsx` - Node interactions
8. `components/integrations/*.tsx` - Integration UI
9. `components/chat/*.tsx` - Chat interface

## 🔧 Implementation Strategy

### Phase 1: Base Components (Foundation)
1. Review and enhance `enterprise-button.tsx` to ensure all variants have proper states
2. Create utility classes or component wrappers for common patterns

### Phase 2: High-Traffic Pages
1. Fix DashboardView - most visible page
2. Fix Sidebar - always visible
3. Fix ProjectsListView - frequently accessed
4. Fix ProjectDetailView - core functionality

### Phase 3: Component Library
1. Fix all Card components
2. Fix all specification components
3. Fix graph/node components

### Phase 4: Remaining Components
1. Fix remaining views and components
2. Verify all interactive elements have proper styling

## ✅ Checklist for Each Fix

For each interactive element, ensure:
- [ ] `cursor-pointer` class added
- [ ] Hover background: `hover:bg-muted/50` or appropriate variant
- [ ] Hover text color if needed: `hover:text-foreground`
- [ ] Active/click state: `active:bg-muted` or `active:scale-[0.98]`
- [ ] Transition: `transition-colors` or `transition-all duration-200`
- [ ] Focus state for accessibility: `focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2`
- [ ] Proper rounded corners: `rounded-lg` or `rounded-xl`
- [ ] Shadow on hover if card: `hover:shadow-md` or `hover:shadow-lg`

## 🎯 Quick Wins

These can be fixed quickly with global CSS or utility classes:

1. **Add cursor-pointer to all buttons globally**
   ```css
   button { cursor: pointer; }
   ```

2. **Add cursor-pointer to all links globally**
   ```css
   a { cursor: pointer; }
   ```

3. **Create utility classes**
   - `.interactive` - Base interactive element styles
   - `.clickable` - Clickable container styles
   - `.hover-lift` - Card hover effect

## 📊 Estimated Impact

- **Files to modify:** ~30-40 files
- **Interactive elements to fix:** ~200+ elements
- **Time estimate:** 4-6 hours for comprehensive fix
- **User experience improvement:** High - significantly better UX

## 🚀 Next Steps

1. Start with base components (Phase 1)
2. Fix high-traffic pages (Phase 2)
3. Systematically go through component library (Phase 3)
4. Final verification pass (Phase 4)
