Subject: [PATCH] feat(mila): Confirm the star precedent, enumerate test
 dependencies, recommend the non-color
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Outcome: done
Changed: none
Verified by: not verified (read-only node; no files changed)
Findings: RECOMMENDATION TO BUILDER: swap the glyph in the voted state only — upvote `+` (U+002B) → `⊕` (U+2295), downvote `−`/`-` (U+2212/U+002D) → `⊖` (U+2296) — via template conditionals in _post_votes.html:4,9 and _comment.html:6,11 plus a VoteManager.js render() textContent mirror scoped to `.vote-up`/`.vote-down` only (VoteManager also binds `.vote-star` forms, whose `::before` glyph must not be overwritten).
Findings: Precedent confirmed at base.css:1319-1325: `.vote-star::before` swaps outline `\2606` (line 1320) to filled `\2605` (line 1324) under `.voted`; templates/CLAUDE.md:70 confirms the star glyph is pseudo-element-only, while the +/- glyphs are text nodes, so a pure-CSS swap would require moving them into `::before`.
Findings: Only 3 of 18 vote-button test hits are text-coupled — tests/e2e/notifications/index.py:313, :799 and tests/e2e/leaderboard.py:42, all `button.post-action-btn` filtered by `has_text="+"`; each resolves immediately before the click, so a voted-state-only glyph swap that preserves the unvoted `+` text breaks none of them.
Findings: The other 15 hits (posts/index.py:407,413; projects/devlog.py:133-134; feed.py:687; post.py:63,70,80,83,87,97,100,104,187) and all comment tests (post.py:117-124,218-221,274-278) use `.vote-up`/`.vote-down`/`.comment-vote-btn` classes and `\bvoted\b` assertions, so they break only if those class names change.
Findings: Empiri
