## Implementation
### **Selector Placement**
The three context selectors are now displayed at the top of **every tab** in the dashboard:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Welcome Header │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [System] [Bookings] [Financial] ← Tab Navigation │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [Company ▼] [Workspace ▼] [Season ▼] ← Selectors │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 📊 Widget Content │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

## Layout Structure
### **Grid Layout**
- **Desktop**: 3-column grid (`lg:grid-cols-3`)
- **Tablet**: 2-column grid (automatic)
- **Mobile**: Single column (stacked)
- **Gap**: 1rem (16px) between selectors
### **Responsive Behavior**
```css
/* Desktop (1024px+) */
grid-cols-3 → [Company] [Workspace] [Season]
/* Tablet (768px-1024px) */
grid-cols-2 → [Company] [Workspace]
[Season]
/* Mobile (<768px) */
grid-cols-1 → [Company]
[Workspace]
[Season]
```
