 * **To Add:**
-    * None currently identified
+    * **Complete Theme System Refactor - Layered Theme Architecture**: Major refactor to replace simple template selection with sophisticated layered theme system (currently stashed)
+        * **Phase 1 - Restore and Assess**:
+            * Restore stashed changes with `git stash pop`
+            * Run tests to identify current failures and validation issues
+            * Assess remaining work by checking all files that still use `--template`
+        * **Phase 2 - Complete CLI Parameter Migration**:
+            * Update remaining CLI commands in asset_commands.py, cli.py, and other files
+            * Fix parameter validation - add proper theme validation for the new string-based parameter
+            * Update help text and documentation to reflect new layered theme capabilities
+        * **Phase 3 - Fix Integration Issues**:
+            * Fix function signature mismatches where functions expect `template` but receive `theme`
+            * Add proper error handling for invalid themes (replace print statements with logging)
+            * Test layered theme functionality - ensure `dark,academic` type combinations work
+            * Verify legacy theme mapping works correctly
+        * **Phase 4 - Quality Assurance**:
+            * Run full test suite to ensure no regressions
+            * Test all CLI commands with new theme parameter
+            * Verify backward compatibility with existing templates
+            * Update any remaining documentation
+        * **Phase 5 - Clean Up and Commit**:
+            * Remove dead code and legacy functions if no longer needed
+            * Ensure consistent terminology throughout codebase
+            * Write comprehensive commit message documenting the major theme system improvement

+## Theme System Refactor Context
+
+**Current State**: Work-in-progress theme system refactor is stashed and partially complete.
+
+**Completed Parts ✅**:
+- New Layered Theme Architecture: Complete LAYERED_THEMES system with UI, document, and branding scopes
+- Theme Parsing Functions: `parse_theme_string()` and `combine_theme_properties()`
+- CSS Generation Refactor: New `_get_template_css()` and `_generate_layered_css()` methods
+- CLI Parameter Change: Changed from `--template` to `--theme` throughout test files
+- Legacy Compatibility: LEGACY_THEME_MAPPING for backward compatibility
+
+**Missing/Incomplete Parts ❌**:
+- CLI Parameter Validation: The new `--theme` parameter needs validation for invalid themes
+- Function Signature Inconsistencies: Some functions still accept `template` parameter but call it with `theme`
+- Additional Files: Other files in the codebase still use old `template` parameter
+- Error Handling: The warning system for unknown themes needs proper logging
+
+**New Capabilities When Complete**:
+- Single themes: `basic`, `github`, `dark`, `academic`, `light`, `corporate`, `startup`
+- Layered themes: `dark,academic` combines dark UI with academic typography
+- Complex combinations: `light,github,corporate` for branded GitHub-style documents
+- Legacy compatibility: Existing `--template` usage continues to work
