Add designbook integration tooling + stack-adapter workplan

- designbook/ local mirror of the Claude Design project, with conventions (@dsCard/manifest) and freshness marker docs. - make designbook-sync + scripts/designbook-sync.mjs: record what a sync changed into RecentChanges.md, grouped by layer, with last /design-sync time. - make designbook-check + scripts/check_designbook_staleness.py: llm-connect (claude-code adapter) backend that detects when the cloud designbook moved ahead and warns the local mirror is outdated. - .design-sync/config.json: recorded target project pin (WhyNot Design System). - WHYNOT-WP-0002: workplan for a technology-neutral designbook IR with scaffold+drift-detect stack adapters (Lit reference). - gitignore Python artifacts.

+# designbook/
+
+Local mirror of the **whynot** Claude Design project (the atelier — source of truth
+for the visual *language*). This directory is written and read by the `/design-sync`
+skill (the `DesignSync` tool over the claude.ai login). It is **not** edited by the
+build scripts; `tokens/` and `src/styles/` in the repo root are *derived* from it.
+
+See `DesignSystemIntroduction.md` §1 (three places) and §5 (the atelier → repo hop),
+and `RecentChanges.md` (regenerated by `make designbook-sync`) for the last diff.
+
+## How it syncs
+
+The designbook is a cloud project of type `PROJECT_TYPE_DESIGN_SYSTEM`. Sync is
+**two-way and incremental — one component at a time, never a wholesale replace**:
+
+```
+/design-sync                              # in Claude Code: pull the project into this
+                                          #   directory (or push built UI back to the canvas)
+node scripts/designbook-sync.mjs --mark-synced   # stamp when the pull happened
+make designbook-sync                      # record what changed + last-sync time → RecentChanges.md
+```
+
+### Freshness marker — `.design-sync.json`
+
+`make designbook-sync` only reflects the latest design **if `/design-sync` has been run**.
+It cannot pull on its own (the pull is an agent step), so freshness is tracked in
+`.design-sync.json`:
+
+```json
+{ "lastSyncAt": "<ISO>", "remoteUpdatedAt": "<ISO>", "projectId": "…", "projectName": "…" }
+```
+
+- `--mark-synced` (run right after `/design-sync`) sets `lastSyncAt` to now. `RecentChanges.md`
+  and the `make` output then show **"Last /design-sync: &lt;datetime&gt;"**.
+- To detect that the cloud moved ahead, run **`make designbook-check`** — backed by
+  **llm-connect**. It uses the `claude-code` adapter to ask the local `claude` binary for the
+  project's current `updatedAt` via `DesignSync.list_projects`, then records it with
+  `node scripts/designbook-sync.mjs --remote-updated <iso>`. (Only the `claude-code` adapter can
+  see your Claude Design project; no secret goes in the prompt — DesignSync uses the claude.ai
+  login.) If `remoteUpdatedAt` is newer than `lastSyncAt`, every report **warns that the local
+  mirror is OUTDATED** until the next `/design-sync`. Run the check offline/manually with
+  `python scripts/check_designbook_staleness.py --remote-updated <iso>`.
+- If no sync has ever been recorded, the report warns that `/design-sync` has not run.
+
+Anthropic's guidance for keeping the system on-brand:
+
+- **Give explicit constraints** (fonts, colors, spacing, layout) — see `../README.md`,
+  which is the authoritative language spec. Vague input drifts to generic output.
+- **Show real rendered UI**, not just a token sheet — the `examples/` pages double as
+  brand exemplars here.
+- **Test one component before a full page.** If output is off, make the language more
+  explicit and retest — cheaper in tokens than fixing a whole screen.
+

+# Technology-neutral designbook with stack adapters (Lit reference)
+
+## Problem
+
+Claude Design's designbook is **React-bound** (its `/design-sync` converter generates
+React components and React-rendered previews; a non-React DS "has nothing for the design
+agent to build with"). That defeats the idea of a designbook as a *technology-neutral UI
+blueprint*. coulomb needs to stay open to different UI stacks (Lit today, others later)
+while still using one Claude designbook for a consistent appearance.
+
+## Approach
+
+Keep React as the **interaction surface** with Claude Design (use the recommended React
+designbook — it is what the tool supports), but introduce a **technology-neutral
+intermediate representation (IR)** as the actual blueprint, and **per-stack adapters** that
+project the IR onto each stack. Lit is the first/reference adapter. Adapters are
+**scaffold + drift-detect**, not full behavioral codegen: tokens are fully generated,
+new components get stubs, changed components get a drift report (never an overwrite), and
+visual parity is checked against the designbook's own exemplars. Behavior stays
+hand-authored per stack.
+
+```
+Claude Design  (React designbook — canonical authoring surface)
+   │  /design-sync                        [exists]
+   ▼
+designbook/   (local React mirror: components/<group>/<Name>/{.d.ts,.prompt.md,.html},
+   │           tokens/, styles.css, _ds_bundle.js, _ds_manifest.json)
+   │  make ir   →  ir/extract  (the pivot)
+   ▼
+ir/           (technology-neutral blueprint, committed + diffable)
+   │  tokens.json   (W3C Design Tokens format)
+   │  components/<Name>.json  (contract: props/attrs, variants, slots, events, docs, exemplar)
+   │  exemplars/<Name>.{png,html}  (reference render from the designbook preview)
+   │  make adapt-lit  →  adapters/lit
+   ▼
+adapters/lit/ (reference)   tokens → CSS custom props (full gen)
+                            new component → <wn-*> stub + contract scaffold
+                            changed component → DRIFT REPORT (no overwrite)
+                            make parity-lit → visual + contract parity vs exemplar
+```
+
+**Directionality is one-way: React → IR → stacks.** Lit-side changes do **not** flow back
+automatically; a change to the shared language must be made in Claude Design (React) and
+re-propagated. The Lit components remain hand-authored; the adapter keeps their *contract
+and appearance* aligned, it does not own their behavior.
+
+## Builds on (already in this repo)
+
+- `designbook/` — local mirror of the Claude Design project + `designbook/README.md`.
+- `make designbook-sync` / `RecentChanges.md` — record what a sync changed.
+- `make designbook-check` + `scripts/check_designbook_staleness.py` — llm-connect backend
+  that detects when the cloud designbook moved ahead (the refresh trigger).
+- `tokens/*.json`, `src/styles/*.css`, `src/elements/*.js` — the existing Lit DS, which
+  becomes the first adapter's target/baseline.
+- Playwright visual harness (`tests/visual/`) — extended for parity in Phase 4.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 0 — Contracts & governance
+
+Establish the durable interfaces before any code, so future stacks slot in cleanly.
+
+## Define the IR schema
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T01
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Specify the technology-neutral blueprint. Tokens: adopt the **W3C Design Tokens Community
+Group** JSON format (`$value`/`$type`) so the token layer is a standard, not a bespoke
+shape — `tokens/*.json` already holds the values. Component contract (`ir/components/<Name>.json`):
+name, group, description, props (name/type/enum/default/required), **prop→attribute mapping**
+(React camelCase prop → Lit attribute/property), slots, events, variant axes, `docsRef`,
+`exemplarRef`. Write `ir/SCHEMA.md` + a JSON Schema for validation. Decide and document that
+`ir/` is committed (diffable blueprint).
+
+## Define the adapter interface
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T02
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Document the contract every stack adapter implements so Vue/Angular/plain-CSS adapters are
+drop-in: inputs (`ir/`), outputs (generated artifacts into the stack's source tree, a
+machine-readable **drift report**, a **parity result**), idempotency rules (regenerate tokens
+ stubs; never overwrite hand-authored behavior), and exit codes for CI. Write
+`adapters/ADAPTER_CONTRACT.md`.
+
+## Governance & propagation doc
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T03
+status: todo
+priority: medium
+```
+
+Document directionality (React canonical, one-way to stacks, Lit changes round-trip through
+Claude Design), the drift-resolution workflow (who fills behavior, how a drift report is
+triaged/closed), and how this extends the existing atelier→repo pipeline. Update
+`DesignSystemIntroduction.md` (§5 propagation) and add a rule under `.claude/rules/`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Canonical React designbook source
+
+## Establish the React designbook as canonical
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T04
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+The pivot needs a real React source in Claude Design (the current project holds the
+hand-authored web-component experiment, not a React component bundle). Decide how the
+canonical React designbook is established and maintained: author a React expression of the
+`wn-*` component set in Claude Design (native, `/design-sync`-compatible), tokens-first then
+grow components, or adopt an existing React kit. Define how it is pulled into `designbook/`.
+**Risk/dependency**: this is the precondition for IR extraction; scope it deliberately —
+a minimal token-plus-core-components React designbook is enough to prove the pipeline.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — IR extraction (the pivot)
+
+## Build the IR extractor
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T05
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Build `scripts/ir-extract.mjs`: read the `designbook/` React mirror — `.d.ts` (props),
+`.prompt.md` (docs), `_ds_manifest.json` (groups), `tokens/` (values), preview `.html`
+(exemplar render) — and emit `ir/tokens.json` (W3C format), `ir/components/<Name>.json`
+(per T01 schema), and `ir/exemplars/<Name>.*`. Validate output against the JSON Schema from
+T01. Add `make ir`. `ir/` is committed so a re-extract surfaces blueprint changes as a git diff.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Lit reference adapter
+
+## Token generation (full gen)
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T06
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+`adapters/lit/`: generate CSS custom properties from `ir/tokens.json` into
+`src/styles/colors_and_type.css` (the existing token layer). Fully generated + deterministic;
+re-running is a no-op when nothing changed. Add `make adapt-lit` (tokens portion first).
+
+## Component scaffold + drift report
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T07
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Extend `adapters/lit/`: for an IR component with no `wn-*` counterpart, generate a Lit stub
+(`<wn-*>` skeleton + reactive properties from the contract's prop→attribute map + a TODO for
+behavior). For an existing component, **emit a drift report** (`adapters/lit/drift/<Name>.md`):
+prop/attribute mismatches, missing/extra variants, removed props — **never overwrite the
+hand-authored element**. Map React prop types → Lit property declarations. Wire into
+`make adapt-lit`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Parity verification
+
+## Contract + visual parity
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T08
+status: todo
+priority: medium
+```
+
+`make parity-lit`: (a) **contract parity** — assert each `wn-*` element's observed
+attributes/properties match its IR contract (fail on drift); (b) **visual parity** — render
+the Lit component and diff against `ir/exemplars/<Name>` using the existing Playwright harness,
+emit a parity diff. Produce a single parity result per the adapter contract (T02). This is the
+gate that confirms Lit actually matches the designbook appearance.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — Keep-up-to-date instruction set
+
+## Refresh loop + runbook
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T09
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Wire and document the end-to-end refresh sequence so keeping Lit current against the React
+designbook is one routine:
+
+1. `make designbook-check` — detect the cloud designbook moved (existing llm-connect backend).
+2. `/design-sync` — pull the latest React designbook into `designbook/`.
+3. `make designbook-sync` — record the diff (`RecentChanges.md`).
+4. `make ir` — re-extract the IR; review the `ir/` git diff (the blueprint change).
+5. `make adapt-lit` — regenerate tokens, scaffold new components, emit drift reports.
+6. Resolve drift — fill/adjust Lit behavior guided by `adapters/lit/drift/*.md`.
+7. `make parity-lit` — confirm appearance + contract parity.
+
+Add a `make designbook-refresh` orchestrator for the automatable steps (1–5, 7) and a
+human-in-loop runbook for step 6. Document in `.claude/rules/stack-and-commands.md` and
+`designbook/README.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — Generalization hook (prove extractability)
+
+## Second-adapter smoke (validate the boundary)
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0002-T10
+status: todo
+priority: low
+```
+
+Sketch a minimal second adapter (plain-CSS utility classes or a Vue stub) that consumes the
+same `ir/` and implements the T02 contract — just enough to prove the IR/adapter boundary
+holds and the architecture can be lifted into a coulomb-level tool later. Do not finish the
+second stack; the deliverable is confidence in the seam.
+
+---
+
+## Open questions / risks
+
+- **React designbook bootstrap (T04)** is the critical-path dependency — without a real React
+  source, the IR has nothing to extract. Keep its initial scope minimal.
+- **Prop→attribute fidelity**: React props (objects, render props, callbacks) don't all map to
+  Lit attributes; the contract must mark non-portable props and the adapter must surface them
+  as drift, not silently drop them.
+- **Exemplar parity tolerance**: web-component vs React rendering will differ at the pixel
+  level; parity needs a sensible diff threshold (reuse `maxDiffPixelRatio` discipline).
+- **One-way constraint**: ensure the tooling never tempts a Lit→React back-edit that bypasses
+  Claude Design; governance doc (T03) must make the round-trip explicit.
