Migration Notes

What Was Converted

✅ Main landing page structure and navigation ✅ Payment notification pages (New User / Existing User) ✅ Routing system (Knockout Pager → Angular Router) ✅ Component-based architecture ✅ Static assets (logos, images, CSS) ✅ Global styles and Bootstrap integration

What Needs Additional Work

⚠️ Auto claim and home claim detailed pages (currently placeholders) ⚠️ Form functionality and validation ⚠️ Backend API integration ⚠️ Authentication/authorization system ⚠️ Dashboard and account management pages ⚠️ Payment processing logic ⚠️ Bank account management features

Breaking Changes from Original

Removed jQuery dependency (Angular handles DOM manipulation)
Removed Knockout.js data binding (replaced with Angular)
Removed Pager.js routing (replaced with Angular Router)
Removed Cordova mobile wrapper (now pure web app)
Bootstrap 3 retained but should consider upgrading to Bootstrap 5 or Angular Material
