fix(adapter): resolve all WHYNOT-WP-0002 drift — designbook-refresh green
Triage the three surfaced divergences the governance-correct way (no stack->React
back-edit, no ir/ hand-edit); make adapt-lit/parity-lit/designbook-refresh now
exit 0:

- PipelineStrip: documented TAG_OVERRIDES in scripts/ir-extract.mjs maps the
  React 'PipelineStrip' to the established tag wn-pipeline (the web-component tag
  is an IR-projection detail, not React-dictated; the component name stays
  faithful). Tag now matches the element; parity tests it (no longer skipped).
- PageHeader.actions: the drift detector now collects each element's named slots
  and treats an IR prop honoured by a same-named slot (<slot name="actions">) as
  satisfied (prop-via-slot, informational) rather than prop-missing.
- Sidebar.current: recorded as an auditable accepted divergence in
  adapters/lit/drift.accepted.json (React monolithic 'current' key vs Lit per-item
  'active' on composable <wn-sidebar-item>) — listed, downgraded to info, not gated.

Rendered surfaces (src/, examples/) untouched — verified zero diff; parity renders
all 10 components green. Adapt/parity outputs idempotent (stable re-run).

ir/ — technology-neutral design blueprint

This directory holds the intermediate representation (IR) of the whynot design language: tokens, per-component contracts, and reference exemplars, in a form that carries no framework assumptions.

Decision: ir/ is committed

ir/ is checked into git, on purpose. The IR is the diffable blueprint of the shared language — committing it means a re-extract (make ir) surfaces every blueprint change as a reviewable git diff, and adapters have a stable, versioned input. It is a build input, not a throwaway build output.

What is committed:

  • tokens.json — all tokens, W3C DTCG format.
  • components/<Name>.json — one contract per component.
  • exemplars/<Name>.{png,html} — reference renders from the designbook preview.
  • manifest.json — the per-version inventory + diff anchor: { schemaVersion, designVersion, generatedAt, tokensHash, components: [{ name, group, hash }] }, where each hash is a deterministic content hash (sha256 over canonicalised JSON). This is what a consuming repo pins against and what the drift check compares (WHYNOT-WP-0003). Validated by schema/manifest.schema.json.
  • INDEX.md — the human-readable catalog, generated from the same contracts: per component its group, description, props/variants/slots/events, and a link to its exemplar. Browse a version without cloning or running anything.
  • schema/ + SCHEMA.md — the contract definitions (this is what T01 delivered).

manifest.json and INDEX.md are generated by the same extractor as the rest of ir/ and share its one-way rule — do not hand-edit them.

Direction of flow

Claude Design (React)  ──/design-sync──▶  designbook/  ──make ir──▶  ir/  ──make adapt-lit──▶  adapters/lit/

One-way. The only writer of tokens.json, components/, and exemplars/ is the extractor (scripts/ir-extract.mjs, T05). Do not hand-edit those — change the language in Claude Design and re-propagate. The schema/ files and these docs are the exception: they are authored here.

See SCHEMA.md for the full contract spec and a worked Button exemplar.
