tegwick 180f8d9dbf 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  ahead and warns the local mirror is outdated.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.
