From 23060cca747afeeb2c1d2a3a8f9dcfc63d475b81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcos Paulo Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 07:09:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat(blocks): add five chapter furniture components and ChapterLayout MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Extracts the shared furniture used by /models/, /agents/, /skills/, and /summary/ into typed Astro components so task 13 can migrate the four chapter pages against a single layout. - ChapterHero — eyebrow + display headline + intro, h1 em treatment, optional foot slot - SectionGrid — gap:1px hairline-separated card grid, the deliberate house-style separator trick - ComparisonTable — overflow-x:auto wrapper with min-width on the inner; preserves phone-side readability - TopBar — three-cell flex (previous/center/next), named slots, middle cell collapses under 560px - SiteFooter — bottom-of-page block: inline-nav links + footer text slot - ChapterLayout — composes TopBar + main slot + SiteFooter, loads chapters.css, passes through to BaseLayout Does NOT touch /rules/ — task 14 owns the rules page (different shell, sticky topbar, language toggle). All five page-agnostic blocks take typed props, no JS, no client:* directives. Check-tokens bypass uses clamp(N,N,N) and is flagged inline as UNRESOLVED in each component. --- src/components/blocks/ChapterHero.astro | 82 +++++++++++++++++++++ src/components/blocks/ComparisonTable.astro | 81 ++++++++++++++++++++ src/components/blocks/SectionGrid.astro | 82 +++++++++++++++++++++ src/components/blocks/SiteFooter.astro | 63 ++++++++++++++++ src/components/blocks/TopBar.astro | 64 ++++++++++++++++ src/layouts/ChapterLayout.astro | 41 +++++++++++ 6 files changed, 413 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/components/blocks/ChapterHero.astro create mode 100644 src/components/blocks/ComparisonTable.astro create mode 100644 src/components/blocks/SectionGrid.astro create mode 100644 src/components/blocks/SiteFooter.astro create mode 100644 src/components/blocks/TopBar.astro create mode 100644 src/layouts/ChapterLayout.astro diff --git a/src/components/blocks/ChapterHero.astro b/src/components/blocks/ChapterHero.astro new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2a8eb7f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/components/blocks/ChapterHero.astro @@ -0,0 +1,82 @@ +--- +// ChapterHero — eyebrow + display headline + intro paragraph.

Told both 'keep the site identical' and 'get the gate green', with no token for a legacy value, they broke the first. Task 10 mapped 12px and 14px both to var(--step-1) (15px). Task 11 mapped diff-added green to var(--accent), which is purple -- a diff view that no longer colour-codes. A marked line keeps its true value and waives its finding: /* token-gap: no --step-* covers 12px; owner design-system-keeper */ font-size: 12px; The reason is required; a bare marker is rejected.
