# 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.
