2025.01.1

Introducing a small but wide-reaching design refresh of the Benefits app, along with a change to how users are alert to Google reCAPTCHA use on forms.

User-facing improvements

• Removes clunky Google reCAPTCHA icon in favor of text and link.
• A full redesign of the app flow and error pages, featuring a streamlined design that unifies the mobile and desktop views, left aligns all text, widens buttons across the app and removes extraneous icons.

Internal

• Simplifies front-end templating with code reductions on base.html and more. See these notes for more on developer experience improvements. Ensures empty divs are not rendered on the front-end code. Renames certain templates for consistent naming conventions.
• Removes Cypress
• Removes CA State Web Template, in favor of Bootstrap. Both Admin and Benefits now use the same version of Bootstrap.
• Refactors field defaults, optional fields and templates in the database
• Set 2-space tab default for HTML files, and ensures pre-commit and other tooling follows these rules
