tegwick 0d688ca94a feat(designbook): technology-neutral IR + stack-adapter pipeline (WHYNOT-WP-0002 T01-T06)
Author the design language once in the canonical React designbook and project it
one-way onto each stack: React -> designbook/ -> ir/ -> adapters/<stack>/.

Phase 0 — contracts & governance (T01-T03):
- ir/SCHEMA.md + ir/schema/{component,tokens}.schema.json — neutral IR contract
  (W3C DTCG tokens; React prop -> HTML attribute mapping; non-portable props flagged).
- adapters/ADAPTER_CONTRACT.md — inputs, drift-report + parity-result shapes,
  idempotency rules, CI exit codes (0 ok / 2 usage / 3 drift / 4 parity / 5 internal).
- .claude/rules/designbook-propagation.md + DesignSystemIntroduction.md §5.1 —
  one-way directionality + drift-resolution workflow.

T04 — canonical React designbook + the missing pull tool:
- The bundled /design-sync skill only PUSHES repo->cloud; it cannot populate
  designbook/. Added scripts/designbook_pull.py + `make designbook-pull`, which drives
  the local claude binary headless (acceptEdits) so DesignSync fetch+write runs in a
  subprocess (contents never hit the orchestrator's context). Pulled 44 files;
  excludes the _whynot-design-seed/ self-copy. Corrected the docs that wrongly called
  /design-sync the pull.

T05 — IR extractor (scripts/ir-extract.mjs + `make ir`):
- ir/tokens.json (80 tokens, DTCG, var() -> {ref} alias resolution); ir/components/*.json
  (10 contracts parsed from .jsx signatures: enum/boolean/number inference, prop->attr
  map, style/callback marked non-portable); ir/exemplars/*.

T06 — Lit token adapter (adapters/lit/ + `make adapt-lit`):
- Full-gen tokens into src/styles/colors_and_type.css :root (marker-bounded, idempotent
  no-op on re-run; hand-authored type CSS preserved).

NOTE: token regen synced Lit to canonical React — fonts IBM Plex -> system stacks and 8
status tokens added. This is a VISUAL change: review and run `pnpm test:visual:update`
before merge. Remaining: T07 scaffold+drift, T08 parity, T09 runbook, T10 2nd-adapter.

whynot-control UI kit

A click-through high-fidelity recreation of the whynot-control repository — rendered not as a folder of Markdown files, but as the lightweight web application it implies.

This kit demonstrates the WhyNot Design System applied to its primary use case: a prototype-and-signal control surface. Everything here is cosmetic — there's no backend, no persistence, no real router. Each screen is a working visual artefact you can drop into a design review.

Screens

Screen Source doc(s) Component
Inbox inbox/ Inbox.jsx
Prototypes (index) prototypes/ + PROTOTYPE_PIPELINE.md PrototypesIndex.jsx
Prototype (detail) templates/prototype-card.md + example-prototype-card.md PrototypeDetail.jsx
Signals signals/ + MARKET_SIGNAL.md SignalsIndex.jsx
Document viewer INTENT.md, OPERATING_MODEL.md DocView.jsx

Components

  • TopNav.jsx — sticky 56px hairline top bar (search + new-idea action).
  • Sidebar.jsx — left rail with org slug, repo nav, activation indicator.
  • PrototypeCard.jsx — the card from preview/comp-prototype-card.html, factored.
  • PipelineStrip.jsx — the 5-stage progress strip from preview/comp-pipeline.html.
  • SignalRow.jsx — one row in the signals table.
  • Tag.jsx, Eyebrow.jsx, Button.jsx, StageDot.jsx, Stamp.jsx — atoms used everywhere.

Conventions

  • All components are flat function components, no hooks beyond useState for screen routing.
  • Components export themselves onto window so each <script type="text/babel"> file can find them.
  • Style objects are inline or scoped (e.g. cardStyles, navStyles) to avoid name collisions.
  • Icons are Lucide via CDN, rendered as <i data-lucide="…"> and hydrated by lucide.createIcons().
