* feat(design-systems): add structured tokens.css schema (default + kami) Compile each brand's DESIGN.md prose into a machine-readable :root block agents paste verbatim, removing the "Primary → --accent" translation step where most token misuse happens. Daemon prompt injection lands in a follow-up; lint-artifact already enforces the shared token vocabulary so no rule changes needed. Schema validated across two contrasting aesthetics: - default (sans-serif, cobalt, B2B utility) — stress test the shallow form, 2-level fg / 2-level surface - kami (serif, parchment, ink-blue, print-first) — stress test the rich form, 4-level fg ramp, 3-level surface, ring elevation, i18n font stacks, and solid-hex tag tints (print renderers double-paint alpha) Schema growth from kami's stress test (5 new optional slots, all backward-compatible — default aliases via var() to existing tokens): - --fg-2 / --meta (4-level fg ramp) - --surface-warm (3-level surface) - --border-soft (2-level border) - --elev-ring (ring elevation as first-class level) Brand-specific extensions live in tokens.css with explicit "NOT in shared schema" labels and a documented promotion path (≥2 brands need it → promote to schema slot). components.html in each brand is a self-contained reference fixture that exercises every token through real layouts. Both fixtures lint clean against apps/daemon/src/lint-artifact.ts. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * feat(design-systems): add token-fixture drift guard Each design system in design-systems/<brand>/ ships two files agents consume in tandem: tokens.css (canonical token bindings) and components.html (a self-contained fixture whose first <style> embeds the same :root paste so the file renders standalone). The fixture's :root block is a copy of tokens.css's :root block, kept in sync only by an inline comment. This adds scripts/check-tokens-fixture-sync.ts and registers it in pnpm guard. The check pairs each brand's tokens.css with its components.html and asserts the unscoped :root block is byte-equivalent after canonical normalization (CSS comments stripped, whitespace collapsed, separator spacing normalized). Brands missing one half of the pair, or with no :root rule in either file, fail the guard. Scoped overrides like :root[lang="zh-CN"] are not required to appear in the fixture (per the kami fixture's inline comment they are pasted only when an artifact's <html lang> matches), so the check only compares the unscoped :root block. Verified: pnpm guard passes for default + kami, fails on intentional value drift, fails on missing token, tolerates whitespace-only formatting differences. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * fix(design-systems): point fixture CTAs to real files Both default and kami components.html advertised in-page anchors (#tokens, #spec, #surface, #accent, #type, #components) but defined no matching ids, so every CTA was a no-op when the fixture was opened locally — flagged by mrcfps in #1231. Re-point each link to a real artifact in the same brand directory: - "View tokens" / "Inspect tokens" / "Inspect typography" → ./tokens.css - "Read the spec" / "Read the rule" → ./DESIGN.md Browsers render these as raw source views, which is the desired UX for a reference fixture: clicking the CTA shows the underlying contract instead of jumping to nothing. Agents copying the fixture also learn the pattern of "buttons link to actual sibling resources". The :root token block is unchanged, so the token-fixture drift guard still passes for both brands. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * feat(design-systems): codify token schema (A1/A2/B/C layers) The two-brand pilot (default + kami) settled the shape of the shared token schema; this commit codifies it as a machine-readable contract and enforces it in pnpm guard, addressing lefarcen's review on #1231: > the optional-vs-required split won't generalize cleanly when brand > #3 needs different Layer A tokens or when multiple brands converge > on the same extension (promoting C→B→A). Consider surfacing that > limitation in the PR narrative or in a future SCHEMA.md. Schema lives under design-systems/_schema/ as three files: - tokens.schema.ts — TypeScript declaration of every shared token with its layer (A1-identity / A1-structure / A2 / B-slot), plus per-brand C-extension allowlists and a global C-prefix allowlist - defaults.css — CSS mirror of A2 fallback values, used as the human-readable contract reviewer's-eye copy and the future input to the derive script - AGENTS.md — schema layer model, C → B-slot → A2 promotion rules, when-not-to-add-a-token guidance Layer model: A1-identity 8 tokens — bg/surface/fg/muted/border/accent + font-display/font-body. The brand IS these values; no fallback is defensible. A1-structure 18 tokens — type scale (8), leading (2), tracking (1), section-y (3), container (4). Structural decisions vary per brand by design and have no cross-brand default. A2 26 tokens — accent states, semantic colors, motion, base spacing scale, radius, elevation, focus, font-mono. Required in every tokens.css; fallback lives in defaults.css for the future derive script to inline when DESIGN.md does not specify the value. B-slot 4 tokens — fg-2 / meta / surface-warm / border-soft. Brand may bind independently or alias the named sibling via var(...) for components that target the richer ramp. C-extension n tokens — brand-specific names (kami's tag-bg-*, leading-display, accent-light, etc.). Allowlisted per-brand in BRAND_EXTENSIONS or globally by prefix in BRAND_EXTENSION_PREFIXES. Promote when a second brand adopts the same name. Why A2 fails the guard today: Artifacts are generated by agents pasting one brand's :root block into a single <style>; there is no global stylesheet that supplies fallbacks at runtime. A tokens.css missing an A2 declaration would silently break any var() reference in the fixture. Until the derive script (PR-B) lands and inlines defaults, every brand's tokens.css must declare every A2 token directly. The guard enforces this strictly. Why --font-mono lands in A2 (not A1): 149 brands' DESIGN.md files were surveyed: 87 (58%) declare a monospace stack, 62 (42%) do not — including major brands like bmw / nike / apple / notion / mastercard / meta. Agent paste cannot rely on the brand author having written it down; a defaultable A2 fallback (with CJK brands like kami overriding) is safer than forcing every brand author to add a field they may not realize their kbd / code-block components need. Five guard checks, each registered as its own entry in scripts/guard.ts so failures attribute to a specific contract: 1. token-fixture sync — components.html :root ↔ tokens.css :root byte-equivalent (existing) 2. A1 required tokens — every brand declares every A1 token 3. A2 required tokens — every brand declares every A2 token 4. unknown token allowlist — every declared token is in schema or brand-extension allowlist 5. A2 defaults parity — defaults.css ↔ tokens.schema.ts fallback byte-equivalent Verified on default + kami: - 26 A1 tokens declared in both brands - 26 A2 tokens declared in both brands - 129 total declarations, all match shared schema or brand extensions - defaults.css ↔ tokens.schema.ts parity holds - sanity test: drifting --motion-fast in defaults.css fails check 5 with a clear divergence message The PR description originally listed "Dedicated SCHEMA.md" as explicitly NOT in this PR ("Once 3+ brands ship, extracting a single source of truth becomes worthwhile"). That boundary moves: lefarcen's review surfaced the schema-generalization risk, and the schema must exist as a machine-enforced contract before the derive script can read it. The TS file replaces the markdown that was deferred. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * fix(web/tests): pass missing designTemplates prop to ProjectView Pre-existing typecheck regression on main: PR #955 (b5eb8c16, "generic skills + split skills/design-templates + finalize-design API") added required `designTemplates: SkillSummary[]` to ProjectView Props but updated only two of the three test fixtures that render ProjectView directly. The third — ProjectView.api-empty-response.test.tsx — was missed, so `pnpm typecheck` (and CI on any PR merging into main) fails on: apps/web/tests/components/ProjectView.api-empty-response.test.tsx (168,6): error TS2741: Property 'designTemplates' is missing in type ... The other two ProjectView tests already pass `designTemplates={[]}`, so this aligns this fixture with the existing pattern. Out of scope for #1231 strictly, but the regression blocks the merged-state typecheck CI runs that #1231 triggers, and the one-line fix here restores main's typecheck health for everyone. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * feat(design-systems): enforce B-slot required tokens in pnpm guard Closes mrcfps + lefarcen review comment thread on #1231: > The guard validates A2 required tokens here, but there's no > sibling check for B-slot aliases (--fg-2, --meta, --surface-warm, > --border-soft). Per the schema docs, every brand must declare > A1 + A2 + B-slot names so shared components can safely read > var(--fg-2) etc. Without a B-slot guard, a brand can omit those > aliases, pass pnpm guard, and break any artifact that references > them. Same artifact-paste constraint as A2: agents render artifacts by pasting one brand's :root block into a single <style>; there is no runtime cascade, so a missing B-slot makes any var(--fg-2) reference resolve to nothing. Until now the schema narrative claimed B-slots were optional with a var() default, but no machine check enforced declaration — a contract gap reviewers reasonably refused to merge. This commit closes the gap in three places so machine and narrative agree: 1. scripts/check-tokens-fixture-sync.ts - Add checkDesignSystemBSlotRequiredTokens, mirroring the A2 check but using getBSlotNames() from the schema. - Failure message names each missing slot AND the schema-suggested alias (--fg-2 (default alias: var(--fg))) so a brand author fixing the failure has a copy-pasteable resolution. - Renumber section comments: 5 checks → 6 checks. 2. scripts/guard.ts - Register the new check between A2 required and unknown allowlist so failures attribute to a specific contract. 3. design-systems/_schema/AGENTS.md - Update the layer table: B-slot row's "If omitted" column changes from "resolves via var() to a richer sibling" to "guard fails — brand must declare, either as var(--sibling) (collapsed) or independent value (richer)". - Add a "Why B-slot is required (and what the alias is for)" section that distinguishes the schema-suggested alias from a runtime fallback, with worked examples for default (alias) and kami (independent bind). Verified on default + kami: - pnpm guard passes all 6 design-system checks - 4 B-slot tokens declared in both brands (default aliases via var(), kami binds independently — both forms satisfy the contract) - pnpm typecheck clean across the workspace - Sanity test: removing --fg-2 + --meta from default/tokens.css fires the new guard with a precise per-token alias hint: [default] design-systems/default/tokens.css is missing 2 B-slot tokens (alias the named sibling via var(...) or bind independently): --fg-2 (default alias: var(--fg)), --meta (default alias: var(--muted)) The schema contract is now machine-enforced end-to-end (A1 + A2 + B-slot all required-with-fixed-form-of-fallback). The derive script in PR-B can rely on every brand's tokens.css containing every shared slot name. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * test(e2e): skip leading-underscore meta-directories under design-systems/ CI for #1231 went red on `Validate workspace` after merging origin/main. Cause is a clean collision between two recently-landed changes: - main #1270 (be77dc03"Default English resource i18n fallback") tightened tests/localized-content.test.ts so every directory under design-systems/ is run through assertResourceId() with the strict RESOURCE_ID_PATTERN /^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$/. - this branch #1231 introduced design-systems/_schema/ as the home of the shared token contract (tokens.schema.ts, defaults.css, AGENTS.md). The leading underscore signals "meta-directory, not brand" — the same convention SCSS partials, Jekyll, Hugo all use. The two changes never met until CI built the merge commit, where assertResourceId('_schema') deterministically failed: Error: Design system directory _schema has malformed resource id: _schema at invariant tests/localized-content.test.ts:66:11 at assertResourceId tests/localized-content.test.ts:71:3 at readDesignSystemResources tests/localized-content.test.ts:202:8 Fix tightens readDesignSystemResources's directory filter so the leading-underscore convention is recognised explicitly: .filter((entry) => entry.isDirectory() && !entry.name.startsWith('_')) This aligns with what apps/daemon/src/design-systems.ts:listDesignSystems already does implicitly — it requires DESIGN.md per directory, so _schema/ was always invisible at runtime; the test was the only place that surfaced it. Verified locally on the post-merge tree: - pnpm test (e2e vitest) — tests/localized-content.test.ts: 4 passed - pnpm guard — all 6 design-system checks pass on default + kami - pnpm typecheck — clean across the workspace (after pnpm install to pull deps for tools/pr that arrived with main) The fix is intentionally narrow (one filter line in one test) and documents the convention inline so future meta-directories under design-systems/ (e.g. _archive/, _drafts/) are covered for free.
