The dark band after the stage was a second full CTA — "Prove the Angular UI before you connect the backend", three prove-it rows, two buttons and a row of caption links. The point of that beat is that the project is free and forkable, and a billboard is the wrong volume for saying so. It read as another pitch immediately before the teams block.

It is now a strip: one sentence at the left edge of the page container, an MIT tag and an outlined Fork on GitHub button at the right, on the same dark surface at roughly a third of the height. It stacks left-aligned on phones.

OpenSourceStrip is a new component rather than another FinalCTA variant, because the four library pages still close on FinalCTA variant="dark" and that shape is deliberately unchanged. The now-unused rows prop and its CSS came out with it.

Also here

  • One GitHub mark, one repo URL. The mark was inlined twice (nav, footer) and the URL five times. Button grew a leadingIcon slot beside the trailing one it already had. GITHUB_REPO_URL lives in positioning.ts, not site-metadata.ts — that module reaches node:fs through blog.ts, so a client component importing it drags the filesystem into the browser bundle and the page 500s.
  • Hero subhead now names what the site description names: chat, durable threads, persistence, human approvals and generative UI, on LangGraph and AG-UI. The highlighted boundary claim after it is unchanged.
  • Social card. That subhead renders there too. The longer copy ran to four lines and overlapped the pills — the left column is centred in a fixed 630px card, so overflow collides rather than pushing. The subhead now sits at 20px in a 530px measure, which holds three lines.
  • Dev server. The website needs GROWTH_FORM_POLICY to render at all locally; the launch config now sets the value CI uses. Unrelated to the copy work — happy to drop it if you would rather.

Verification

Website unit suite, plus the website, home-hero, home-stage, nav-height and solutions Playwright suites. Lint clean of errors, types clean. The social card and the strip were rendered and inspected at desktop, tablet and phone widths. I confirmed the taller hero does not push the demo frame past its IntersectionObserver threshold, which has broken that spec before.

Known nit

On phones, and on line two of the card, "AG-UI" breaks across lines at its hyphen. A non-breaking hyphen fixes it but would stop the string matching the site description character for character.

The dark band after the stage was a second full CTA ("Prove the Angular
UI before you connect the backend") with three prove-it rows, two
buttons and a wall of caption links. The point of that beat is that the
project is free and forkable, and a billboard is the wrong volume for
saying so — it read as another pitch immediately before the teams block.

It is now a strip: one sentence at the left edge of the page container,
an MIT tag and an outlined "Fork on GitHub" button at the right, on the
same dark surface at roughly a third of the height. It stacks
left-aligned on phones. A new component rather than another FinalCTA
variant, because the four library pages still close on
`FinalCTA variant="dark"` and that shape is unchanged.

Also here:

- The GitHub mark was inlined twice (nav, footer) and the repo URL five
  times. Both are shared now; `Button` grew a `leadingIcon` slot beside
  the trailing one it already had. GITHUB_REPO_URL lives in
  positioning.ts, not site-metadata.ts: that module reaches node:fs
  through blog.ts, so a client component importing it drags the
  filesystem into the browser bundle and the page 500s.
- The hero subhead now names what the description names — chat, durable
  threads, persistence, human approvals and generative UI, on LangGraph
  and AG-UI — keeping the highlighted boundary claim that follows it.
- That subhead also renders on the social card, where the longer copy
  ran to four lines and overlapped the pills: the left column is centred
  in a fixed 630px card, so the overflow collides rather than pushing.
  The subhead sits at 20px in a 530px measure, which holds three lines.
- The website dev server needs GROWTH_FORM_POLICY to render at all; the
  launch config now sets the value CI uses.

The open-source strip landed on main after this branch renamed the font
custom properties, so it referenced --font-garamond and --font-inter, which no
longer exist. An undefined custom property in a font-family declaration is
invalid at computed-value time, so both rules would have shipped as silent
system-font fallbacks that look almost right.

.open-source-strip-line also puts an italic <em> inside what would have been
the display face, and Archivo Black has no italic. It is body-scale editorial
copy rather than display type, so it moves to --font-sans, where the italic is
real: Archivo now loads style ['normal','italic']. That also retires the faux
italics the sans face had been synthesizing all along, since Inter was loaded
normal-only too.

Adds font-vars.spec.ts, which fails if any stylesheet references a --font-*
var layout.tsx does not supply. This exact bug happened twice in one day — the
rename, and then a PR that landed in between — and nothing caught it: jsdom
does not resolve custom properties and the Next build does not type-check CSS.
Mutation-verified.

…e navy (#1058)

* docs: spec — ATC theme spike (aviation yellow) for the website

Reskins the website to the visual language of ATC — Live Air Traffic Radio:
aviation yellow #FFAF00, Archivo Black display type, and instrument-panel
data strips. Built in libs/design-tokens rather than as a website override,
so the spike measures what adopting the theme actually costs.

The central finding is that the accent role has to split: #FFAF00 on white
is 1.84:1, so yellow is a fill colour only and the interactive ink moves to
the app's scope navy #15253E (15.37:1, higher than the #004090 it replaces).
The focus ring deliberately stays navy on light surfaces.

Records the load-bearing risk: the homepage architecture diagram e2e added
by #1048 measures text runs against their cards after document.fonts.ready,
and Archivo's metrics differ from Inter's.

* docs: spec — diagrams keep Inter via a --font-diagram token

Diagrams do not take the brand face. They stay clean and minimal on Inter
through a new --font-diagram token, for two reasons: a heavy grotesk fights
a 16-node drawing, and the diagram geometry is tuned to Inter's metrics.

That second reason is the load-bearing one. EnterpriseArchitecture pins every
rectangle to an 8px grid and home-architecture.spec.ts measures each rendered
text run against its card, so swapping diagrams to Archivo would force a
geometry rework that could exceed the retheme itself. Keeping Inter makes it
zero.

The carve-out is three declarations — .arch-figure text in landing.css, and
the two sans rules in the docs diagram kit — which the mechanical
--font-inter rename must send to --font-diagram rather than --font-sans.
Section 8 now treats the overflow e2e as the gate on that carve-out holding.

* docs: implementation plan for the ATC theme spike

Eleven tasks, TDD where there is something to assert: the three value-pinning
token specs are updated before the values move, so each colour change has a
red test first.

Notable ordering constraints baked into the plan:

- dark.ts needs no edit to `accent` (it derives from accentLight) but does
  need lines 29-33, which hardcode the old blue. Task 2 makes that a step of
  its own with a grep that proves no blue survives.
- The font-var rename and the --font-diagram carve-out land in ONE commit.
  Split apart, a blind find-and-replace sends the diagram rules to Archivo and
  the overflow e2e can fail at 390px only.
- The site is visibly broken between Task 4 and Task 5, which the plan says
  out loud so nobody stops to debug it.

Selectors verified against the source rather than guessed: the logo mark takes
the signal via `color` (PlaneMark fills with currentColor), and the docs active
item is [data-docs-navlink][data-active], already at docs.css:917.

* feat(design-tokens): ATC palette — the accent role splits into navy ink and yellow signal

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: card COLOURS are in scope; only its bundled font is not

A guard that compares values at test time cannot be satisfied by declaring
the divergence intentional in prose. card.spec.ts reads theme.css and asserts
card/tokens.ts still matches it, so the earlier scope boundary just left
nx test website red for the rest of the arc.

Colours are hex literals and cost nothing to move; the font genuinely needs a
bundled TTF. Splitting those.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(design-tokens): card colours follow the retheme; guard the dark accent tints

The Satori social card hand-copies the light palette as hex literals, because
Satori cannot read CSS variables, and card.spec.ts reads theme.css at test
time and asserts the copy still matches. So the retheme left two guards red:
ink and accent had moved in the tokens and not in the card. A spec that
compares values at test time cannot be satisfied by declaring the divergence
intentional in prose — the only way to make it green is to move the card, so
the card's ink, accent, accent-surface and accent-border now follow the ATC
palette. Only the card's bundled font stays out of scope.

Also adds the guard the retheme was missing: darkOverrides.accent derives from
brand.accentLight and flips on a repoint, while the four accent tints beside it
are hardcoded rgba() and do not. The new dark-theme test derives the expected
RGB triple from the token rather than pinning a second literal, so it moves
with the palette; it was mutation-checked by reverting accentGlow to the old
blue and confirming it goes red.

The rest is honesty upkeep on comments the retheme falsified: a dark test named
for a blue accent it no longer asserts, an accent-family comment, and the
generator docstring that still called the cockpit fallback divergence "minor
drift" when those fallbacks are now a different hue entirely. base.ts hoists
AVIATION_YELLOW and SCOPE_NAVY so signal cannot drift from accentLight, nor
scope from accent. No emitted value changes except #ffc233 -> #FFC233.

* docs: add a sweep task for the 21 hardcoded brand colours the plan missed

Task 2's review found the plan named only 3 of 24 hardcoded old-brand sites in
apps/website/src. The rest would have survived the retheme as blue islands.

Includes the one site that must NOT take the yellow: ChatLandingCodeShowcase's
--chat-user-bg sits directly above --chat-user-color: #ffffff, so white on
aviation yellow would be 1.84:1. It takes scope navy instead.

* feat(design-tokens): emit signal, signal-strong, scope, alert and ink

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(design-tokens): guard cssVars brand emission; explain the deliberate aliases

A reviewer proved by mutation that deleting all five brand names
(--ds-signal, --ds-signal-strong, --ds-scope, --ds-alert, --ds-ink) from
css-vars.ts left the full design-tokens suite green: the existing
ds-var-sources-agree.spec.ts only checks that tokens.css is a superset of
cssVars(), which is correct for the type scale but wrong for brand colors,
which have no reason to exist in one emitter and not the other.

- Add a scoped reverse check to ds-var-sources-agree.spec.ts asserting
  cssVars('light') emits all five brand names, without making the whole
  comparison bidirectional (which would break on the legitimate type-scale
  superset).
- Fix the ds-var-contract.spec.ts docstring, which claimed the list is
  derived purely from a grep of consumer usage — false for the five new
  brand names (zero references outside libs/design-tokens/ today) and a
  trap that would lead someone to "clean up" and delete the guard.
- Document the deliberate --color-signal/accent-light and
  --color-scope/accent duplication in theme.css, and add a Brand
  sub-header to the --ds-* block in tokens.css / tokens-dark.css so the
  generated output explains itself to a website/cockpit author.

* feat(design-tokens): Archivo display and text faces, Inter retained for diagrams

Renames fontSerif (EB Garamond) to fontDisplay (Archivo Black) and
repoints fontSans at Archivo instead of Inter. Adds a new fontDiagram
token that keeps Inter: EnterpriseArchitecture.tsx pins every rectangle
to an 8px grid and home-architecture.spec.ts measures each rendered
text run against its card after document.fonts.ready, so retyping
diagram text to Archivo would silently overflow the cards and force a
geometry rework larger than the retheme itself. Diagram surfaces read
as information, not brand, and deliberately stay off the brand face.

Regenerates theme.css/tokens.css/tokens-dark.css from the new
typography values and updates the token<->CSS parity and --ds-* var
contract specs accordingly. apps/website and libs/workspace-react
still reference the retired --font-garamond/--font-inter names; that
rename is a separate follow-up task and is expected to leave the
website visually broken until it lands.

* docs: record the next/font constraint that makes --font-diagram fragile

theme.css emits --font-diagram as a raw 'Inter, ...' stack, which next/font's
hashed family never matches. If layout.tsx stops supplying the var, diagrams
silently fall back to system-ui and every glyph width shifts — defeating the
carve-out the token exists for. Only the architecture e2e would notice.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(website): --font-display/--font-sans, with diagrams carved out onto --font-diagram

The design-tokens generator no longer emits --font-garamond or --font-inter,
so every consumer reference in apps/website and libs/workspace-react moves to
the new names. layout.tsx's next/font `variable` fields move with them; the
faces themselves are swapped in a later task.

The diagram carve-out lands here rather than as a follow-up because
--font-inter was a single variable doing two jobs: ~100 body-text rules and
the diagram text. Renaming it alone would retype the architecture figure and
the docs diagram kit from Inter to Archivo, changing every glyph width.
EnterpriseArchitecture.tsx pins its rectangles to an 8px grid and
e2e/home-architecture.spec.ts measures each rendered text run against its
card, so that would land as a red e2e — possibly only at the 390px viewport.
Splitting the two commits would mean deliberately committing a broken
geometry, so the three diagram declarations move to --font-diagram (Inter,
retained for exactly this reason) in the same change:

  .arch-figure text                                    (landing.css)
  .tp-diagram-node[data-title="sans"] .tp-diagram-title (docs.css)
  .tp-diagram-meta                                      (docs.css)

Diagram rules already on --font-mono are untouched; mono was never Inter.

ui.css's FONTS note gains the constraint that makes --font-diagram fragile:
theme.css emits it as a raw `Inter, ...` stack, which next/font's hashed
family never matches, so the var has to keep being supplied by next/font in
layout.tsx or diagrams fall back to system-ui silently.

nx test website and nx test workspace-react pass, but these are jsdom suites
that do not resolve CSS custom properties — they cannot detect a wrong font
var. The architecture e2e is the real check.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(design-tokens): note the next/font constraint on --font-diagram

Two documentation fixes from the Task 4 review, both about the diagram
carve-out that landed in the previous commit.

The fontDiagram docblock explained why diagrams keep Inter but not what keeps
them on it: on apps/website the var has to be supplied by next/font in
layout.tsx, because the raw `Inter` literal theme.css emits never matches
next/font's hashed family name. Cross-referenced to the FONTS note in
apps/website/src/styles/ui.css, which now carries the same warning.

The ds-var-contract docstring called `--ds-font-serif` "consumer-referenced"
in a paragraph that otherwise says the greps for these names come up empty,
which read as a contradiction. Reworded to what it actually is: a name this
list previously guarded and the retheme retires.

Note the review's stated premise was not quite right — `--ds-font-serif` is
not reference-free. libs/workspace-react/src/styles/workspace.css still names
it as the fallback behind var(--font-display), so the docstring now says so
explicitly instead of dropping the fact, and scopes the zero-reference claim
to the reserved names it was always about (verified: 0 hits each for
--ds-signal, --ds-signal-strong, --ds-scope, --ds-alert, --ds-ink,
--ds-font-display, --ds-font-diagram outside libs/design-tokens/).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(workspace-react): repair the dangling --ds-font-serif reference

Task 4 retired --ds-font-serif from the token sources; Task 5's rename swept
--font-garamond in the same declaration but left the --ds-* fallback pointing
at a name that no longer exists.

The failure mode is silent and worse than it looks: an undefined custom
property inside a font-family list is invalid at computed-value time, so the
whole declaration is dropped and .workspace-prose headings lose their font
entirely. There is no partial fallback to the first entry in the list.

ds-var-contract.spec.ts guarded only the other direction — that a name
consumers use does not vanish. Adds the inverse check, which fails if any
consumer references a --ds-* the generator does not define. Mutation-verified:
restoring the bug turns it red with the exact name.

--ds-surface-subtle is listed as a known pre-existing dangling reference
(already broken at 218ac1c) so it stays visible rather than being hidden by
the new guard.

* feat(website): load Archivo Black and Archivo, drop EB Garamond

layout.tsx now loads Archivo_Black for --font-display and Archivo for
--font-sans via next/font/google, matching the ATC-derived token
library. EB_Garamond is gone.

Inter stays loaded here too, feeding --font-diagram. It cannot be
supplied by theme.css's raw `Inter, system-ui, sans-serif` literal:
next/font registers the family under a hashed name, so that literal
never matches it and would silently fall back to system-ui, changing
every diagram glyph width. Diagram geometry in
apps/website/e2e/home-architecture.spec.ts is pinned to Inter's
metrics on an 8px grid, so Inter must keep coming from next/font.

* feat(website): signal surface scope for the ATC hero block

* feat(website): yellow hero block closed by the scope-navy frequency strip

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(website): the marker highlight is a yellow wash everywhere but the hero

The Task 8 rule replaced the wash with an ink underline globally, but
.marker-highlight is not hero-only — /langgraph, /chat, /ag-ui and /render all
use it on white canvas, where they would have picked up an accent-coloured
underline nobody asked for.

A yellow wash is the better answer anyway: it is literally what a highlighter
does, and it is the correct use of aviation yellow as a fill under near-black
ink rather than as a text colour. The ink underline is now scoped to the
signal block, where a yellow wash would be yellow on yellow.

Also records in the plan that nx test website does not type-check — a step
written as "watch the test fail" on a union change passes vacuously, because
vitest skips types and React forwards unknown props to the DOM.

* docs: withdraw the docs left-rule step — the tokens already did it

DocsControlPlane.spec.tsx guards 'rounded sidebar states without a left
marker' from #963. The step would have overridden that deliberate decision to
achieve something the retheme had already achieved: --color-accent-surface is
now a yellow tint and --color-accent is scope navy, so the active item is
already a soft yellow pill with navy ink.

A plan written days earlier does not get to overrule a design decision the
codebase deliberately guards.

* fix(website): Archivo Black is single-weight — stop synthesizing bold and italic

`--font-display` is Archivo Black, loaded by next/font at `weight: '400'`.
Google Fonts ships it in exactly one weight and no italic, so every rule that
asked for anything else was making the browser synthesize the face — smearing
an already-black glyph, or shearing it into a fake oblique. jsdom cannot
measure either, so nothing caught it.

- Removed 48 `font-weight` declarations (500–800) from rules whose own block
  sets `font-family: var(--font-display)`: pages.css 21, landing.css 15,
  marketing.css 5, docs.css 4, ui.css 2, chrome.css 1. The face has one weight,
  so declaring it is noise. `.hero-heading` keeps its explicit `400` and the
  comment documenting the constraint at the most-read site. Rules on
  `--font-sans` and `--font-mono` are untouched: Archivo and JetBrains Mono are
  genuinely multi-weight.
- Removed `font-style: italic` from the four display-face rules in landing.css
  (`.wp-cover-title`, `.final-cta-heading`, `.final-cta-mark`,
  `.proof-strip-watermark`). The faux oblique was most visible on the two that
  set it at 210px and up to 300px.

The logo mark was aviation yellow on the white nav and footer — 1.84:1, below
even the 3:1 floor for meaningful non-text graphics, and the exact thing this
theme's own thesis forbids. It is now the ATC app icon in miniature: a
signal-yellow squircle with an ink glyph, 10.73:1, inverting to an ink tile
inside the signal scope so it does not vanish on the yellow block.

The tile uses `box-sizing: border-box` rather than `content-box`. The logo sets
the nav's content-row height at the two smaller breakpoints, so padding on a
content-box icon inflates the whole nav — measured 58/66/81 to 64/72/81 against
a `--nav-h` that e2e/nav-height.spec.ts pins to the rendered nav within 1px.
Border-box insets the glyph instead, leaving every `--nav-h` offset untouched;
all 8 nav-height e2e tests pass. The stale comment above the rule (the glyph
"inherits the wordmark's color"; "the wordmark is Garamond") is rewritten.

Also in libs/design-tokens:

- The dangling-`--ds-*` guard only walked four hand-listed directories, missing
  libs/chat, libs/example-layouts, libs/design-tokens, apps/website/public and
  apps/website/e2e. Widened to the whole repo with node_modules/.next/dist/
  coverage excluded. This surfaced 13 pre-existing dangling names, all from the
  committed generator artifact apps/website/public/whitepapers/chat-preview.html;
  they are listed in KNOWN_PRE_EXISTING and attributed in the comment so they
  stay visible rather than hidden. The guard also had to stop grepping its own
  docblocks, which quote retired names as prose.
- `--ds-font-serif`'s comment claimed a surviving reference in workspace.css; a
  later commit repaired that, so it now has none.
- Aviation yellow on the dark ground is 10.24:1 on `canvas` and 9.24:1 on
  `surface`, not 8.33:1 — that figure is the ratio against the website's scope
  navy, a different surface. Corrected, and the deliberate website/dark.ts
  surface divergence is now documented from both sides.

* fix(website): rebase repairs — #1057's strip used the retired font vars

The open-source strip landed on main after this branch renamed the font
custom properties, so it referenced --font-garamond and --font-inter, which no
longer exist. An undefined custom property in a font-family declaration is
invalid at computed-value time, so both rules would have shipped as silent
system-font fallbacks that look almost right.

.open-source-strip-line also puts an italic <em> inside what would have been
the display face, and Archivo Black has no italic. It is body-scale editorial
copy rather than display type, so it moves to --font-sans, where the italic is
real: Archivo now loads style ['normal','italic']. That also retires the faux
italics the sans face had been synthesizing all along, since Inter was loaded
normal-only too.

Adds font-vars.spec.ts, which fails if any stylesheet references a --font-*
var layout.tsx does not supply. This exact bug happened twice in one day — the
rename, and then a PR that landed in between — and nothing caught it: jsdom
does not resolve custom properties and the Next build does not type-check CSS.
Mutation-verified.
