+# Node-RED Dashboard Stop Prompt Issue - Systematic Debugging
+
+## PROJECT CONTEXT
+I'm working on a Node-RED dashboard with start/stop cycle counting functionality. I need to fix critical issues with the stop prompt dialog before adding graphs and alerts today.
+
+## CURRENT PROBLEM
+The stop prompt dialog has multiple failures:
+1. Stop prompt appears INSIDE the scrap prompt (incorrect nesting/placement)
+2. Stop button is non-functional
+3. Submit and Cancel buttons in stop prompt are unclickable
+4. The dialog should ask "why are you stopping?" in a themed, two-column layout that fits on screen without zooming
+
+## WHAT WORKED BEFORE
+I had a working scrap prompt implementation with the same logic that I'm trying to replicate for the stop prompt.
+
+## WHAT I NEED FROM YOU
+
+### Phase 1: Analysis
+1. Review ALL relevant code files (HTML, JavaScript, Node-RED flows, CSS)
+2. Identify the working scrap prompt implementation as reference
+3. Map out where the stop prompt code is currently located
+4. Identify specific issues:
+   - Why is nesting occurring?
+   - What's breaking the button functionality?
+   - What's preventing Submit/Cancel interaction?
+
+### Phase 2: Solution Planning
+1. Create a clear fix strategy that:
+   - Preserves the working scrap prompt
+   - Implements stop prompt as a separate, parallel dialog
+   - Maintains dashboard theme consistency
+   - Ensures two-column layout for compact display
+2. Identify any dependencies or conflicts between components
+3. Plan changes in order of execution to avoid breaking working features
+
+### Phase 3: Phased Implementation
+Break the fix into small, testable steps:
+- Each phase should be independently verifiable
+- No phase should break existing functionality
+- Clear success criteria for each phase
+
+## CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS
+- ✅ Stop prompt must be SEPARATE from scrap prompt
+- ✅ Both dialogs must function independently
+- ✅ All buttons (Start, Stop, Submit, Cancel) must work
+- ✅ Two-column layout for stop reasons
+- ✅ Theme-consistent styling
+- ✅ No zoom required to view dialog
+- ✅ Preserve all existing working functionality
+
+## DELIVERABLES NEEDED
+1. Root cause analysis with specific line/section references
+2. Step-by-step fix plan with rationale
+3. Phased implementation approach (3-5 phases max)
+4. Code changes for each phase with clear before/after
+5. Testing checklist for each phase
+
+## PROJECT FILES TO EXAMINE
+Please start by asking me to share:
+- Node-RED dashboard HTML/template nodes
+- JavaScript functions handling start/stop
+- CSS styling files
+- Flow configuration for the stop/scrap logic
+- Any custom UI nodes or templates
+
+## CONSTRAINTS
+- Must complete today alongside adding graphs and alerts
+- Cannot break working scrap prompt functionality
+- Must maintain current dashboard theme/styling
+- Solution must be production-ready, not a prototype
+
+Please begin by requesting the relevant code files, then provide your analysis following the phase structure above.
