vh 35adc4a043 feat(homepage): rebuild on Australis Skyfall — dual theme, light mode shipped
The board was on the Australis TERMINAL palette, which is dark-only by design
("Always dark first. No light mode in this system"). Skyfall is the dual-theme
web derivative of the same science, and its bundle turned out to be sitting in
this repo's own git history: a predecessor vendored it on 2026-08-19 and a
later commit deleted it. `git show 45c1995:...` returns colors.css with both
`:root` (dark) and `[data-theme="light"]` (Skyfall Day) intact, plus the
calm-depth layout tokens, the typography scale and Supreme 400/500/700. So the
light ramp is canonical rather than derived, which was the entire objection to
building one.

The visual language moves with the palette. Depth is now the recipe and not a
choice — every elevated surface carries a 1px hairline AND a two-layer shadow,
never one without the other. Radii move to Skyfall's scale, cards at
--radius-lg. Widget stat values move from the display face to mono, because
Skyfall is explicit that numbers and telemetry are always --font-mono. The
full-width aurora ribbon under the tab bar is gone: Skyfall sanctions exactly
two accent expressions, the active rail and hero-only glows, and a decorative
gradient across the chrome is neither — so the colour it carried now lands on
the active tab as a 2px accent bar plus an --accent-soft fill, which is the
rail. Every binding is written against the semantic layer; there are no raw
family tokens and no colour literals left in our own file.

build.py now guards the vendoring instead of advising it. The three token files
are hashed and a mismatch FAILS the build — a vendored file is either
byte-identical to the bundle or it is a fork wearing the bundle's name, and the
theme this one replaces had to be torn out twice for exactly that.

⚠ Homepage's own theme toggle is unreachable, and reaching for it breaks the
dashboard. It renders only when settings.yaml leaves `theme:` unpinned, and
with the key absent the page's data loader throws and its catch branch serves
`initialSettings: {}` — no tab bar, no layout, no i18n. Six force-recreates
over seven minutes all came up empty; restoring `theme: dark` rendered
correctly on the next recreate in 12 seconds, while /api/services returned 200
with fully correct content the whole time. That is the first confirmed cause of
the long-running "tab bar goes missing after a recreate" symptom, and it also
retires the homepage.log-size lead recorded earlier today: rolling the log
aside did nothing during this episode, so that coincidence was intermittency.

So the toggle is ours. conf/custom.js renders it and stores the choice;
build.py re-emits each vendored light block twice, once for an explicit
`data-theme` and once inside a prefers-color-scheme media query scoped to
`html:not([data-theme="dark"]):not([data-theme="light"])` — that :not() pair is
what lets a stored dark choice survive a light-mode OS. Verified against both
OS preferences: load, click, click back, reload, all four correct. `data-theme`
is the control surface; Homepage's own `dark` class stays on <html> and does
not fight, because our rules carry !important on the surfaces Tailwind's
`dark:` variants would otherwise claim.

Two font substitutions, both documented rather than silent: Space Grotesk for
Bespoke Sans and JetBrains Mono for Victor Mono. Only Supreme was ever vendored
here and Skyfall's own notes call Victor Mono user-supplied, so this is a
two-line swap when the real faces arrive.

vh f6f2f69649 fix(homepage): uniform 4-column grid, hold the status gutter, unleak AI Systems
The board's card width changed at every group boundary because `columns:` was
being tuned per group under the 2026-08-18 "columns = member count" rule. That
rule is retired: it sets `lg:grid-cols-N` for one group, so it fixes that
group's CARD WIDTH, not its density. Measured on the live board, Notes rendered
a single 1464px card, News and Media 728px, Eval & Retrieval 286px, everything
else 360px. All 20 groups are now `columns: 4` and every card renders at 360.

`.service-name` reserved a 78px status gutter with `padding-right` and relied
on `overflow: hidden` to hold it, but overflow clips at the PADDING box — the
gutter was spill room the title printed straight through. Six cards on the AI
tab rendered their name underneath their own status pill, measured by testing
the title text node's box against the status cluster's. The intended ellipsis
never fired either: it is painted by whichever block's own line overflows, and
that is the anonymous box around the bare title text node, which does not carry
`overflow`. The gutter holds by wrapping now, and the description opts back out
of it with a negative margin since the pill only ever covers the first line.

Scriberr's `homepage.group=AI Systems` named a group absent from `layout:`, so
it had no `tab:` and rendered on all four tabs — the same defect as UltraSeedbox
in 2026-08-18, arriving this time from a container label. Relabelled to
`AI - Audio Tools`, where the other ASR seats already live. The
`homepage.group=AI Systems` sample in the repo-root CLAUDE.md was the source of
the name and now carries the constraint, plus the fact that a labelled
container is discovered from any of the five configured engines and must not
also be listed in services.yaml.

Also: descriptions clamped to three lines so a five-line outlier stops dragging
its row 50px taller than its neighbours; icon ramp overridden off slate-400 ->
slate-700, which was sinking the bottom half of every glyph into the card fill;
bookmark groups and Jellyfin's trailing stream rows brought into the card and
eyebrow vocabulary; group gap 10px -> 22px now that width no longer separates
them.

The icon override sits on `html[class]`, not `:root`: Homepage sets the same
variables on `.theme-slate`, which is on the <html> element, and a class beats
`:root` on the same element.

Verified with Playwright against the live board — per-group card width, card
height spread, and a geometric title-vs-status collision check, before and
after. Before/after captures: http://10.100.10.50:8090/b/homepage-relayout/

vh 23cccf5f53 fix(homepage): force the canvas clear of the cached wallpaper div
Removing the `background:` block from settings.yaml was not sufficient.
Homepage server-renders the wallpaper as an INLINE style on
`<div id="background">` and Next.js caches the rendered page, so the aurora
survived both the config removal and a container restart. Only a full
recreate clears that cache, and recreating this container costs an hour of
missing tab bar and i18n before it heals itself.

Adding `#background` to the canvas reset is deterministic and immediate,
and it also keeps the canvas correct if the setting is ever re-added by
accident. The existing selector missed it: the DOM is
body > div#__next > div#background, so `body > div` matched the Next.js
root, not the wallpaper layer.

Verified live rather than locally: the served page now reports no
background image, with all three canonical faces loaded and the group
eyebrows rendering as JetBrains Mono in Australis cyan.

vh b271db1f44 feat(homepage): rebuild the theme on canonical Australis tokens
The predecessor theme was ugly for two structural reasons, not one.

It did not use the design system's colours. It built a parallel OKLCH
palette "derived from the Australis philosophy" and swapped the canonical
typeface for Supreme -- a fork, not a theme. Every hex here is now copied
verbatim from ~/.claude/skills/australis-design/colors_and_type.css, and
build.py re-checks all 19 against that file at build time and warns on
drift so it cannot quietly fork again. Type is the canonical stack: Space
Grotesk / Inter / JetBrains Mono, vendored as latin-subset VARIABLE woff2
(one file per family, 102 KB total against 56 KB for three static Supreme
cuts, and no Google Fonts request at page load).

It also carried a generated full-bleed aurora image behind the entire
dashboard. Canon forbids exactly that -- "solid fills only on chrome, no
full-bleed photography, no decorative gradients", and the aurora motif
"never as a background fill behind text". The predecessor knew, said so in
its own header, and dialled the opacity down rather than dropping it. The
image is gone; the aurora survives as a 1px accent edge under the tab bar,
which is where canon sanctions it. The asset stays in images/ in case it
is ever revisited.

Direction is instrument panel. Group headings become the Australis mono
eyebrow with a hairline to the right edge -- canon calls the eyebrow a
system signature, and it turns the groups into register bands instead of
headings floating over a grid. Status stops shouting: the filled emerald
chips read louder than the service names they annotated, so they are now a
semantic dot plus a mono micro-label at tertiary contrast. Cards are
bordered and opaque, per canon's border-over-shadow rule for chrome.

Alignment, per operator feedback that pills and cards did not line up:

- The status cluster is centred on the service name's line rather than
  parked in the card's top-right corner, where Homepage's `absolute top-0`
  left it floating ~7px above the title's optical centre. The offsets
  reconstruct the title line box and are documented as moving together.
- Descriptions get a two-line minimum, so the common one-line/two-line mix
  bottom-aligns across a row. This is what made the grid look ragged.
  useEqualHeights stays false: it inflated short cards to match a widget
  card twice their height, which was the worse failure.
- The status dot is flex-centred rather than nudged with vertical-align,
  so it stays centred if the type scale changes.

Retires the Skyfall sources and the Supreme faces; theme/ now has one
source of truth.

vh df68dd2753 style(homepage): tone the stat values down, run the aurora through the page
Two operator corrections in one pass.

Stat values overshot: the previous commit took them from font-thin 13px to
bold 22px in heading white, which went from whisper to shout. A stat only has
to out-rank its own label, not the service name above it — now --text-md at
medium weight in cyan, which clears the label but sits below the card title
where it belongs.

Colour lift, staying inside the system rather than around it: Skyfall names
Aurora (blue, cyan, green) the PRIMARY families, 'used generously, in that
order', while Dawn (amber, red, violet) is semantic-only. So group markers now
cycle blue -> cyan -> green down the page — icons at full strength, names at
0.72 — service icons take a single cool wash, header resource icons go cyan,
and latency tags move to the info family so 'how fast' stops looking like
'is it alive'. No Dawn colour is used decoratively anywhere.

Also fixes selectors that never bound: Homepage emits docker-status-<state>,
not status-<state>, so the green pills up to now were stock colouring rather
than this file. Both forms are matched and the trap is commented.

README records the iteration loop that would have caught the overshoot: CSS is
served per-request, so it needs a reload, not a recreate and not the layout
warm-up — and candidate CSS can be injected into the live page for a
seconds-long feedback loop instead of a 10-minute one.

vh f38cf69fe4 fix(homepage): invert the widget stat hierarchy — numbers lead, labels recede
Stock Homepage builds each stat as a font-thin (weight 100) 13px value above a
font-bold 12px uppercase label, so the number you actually came to read is the
quietest thing in the card while its label shouts. Skyfall's rule is that
hierarchy comes emphatically from weight AND size, and that numbers are data.

Value now renders at --text-xl bold in tabular mono at --text-heading; label
drops to a --text-2xs tracked eyebrow at --text-faint. The well itself moves to
--surface-input, one step DOWN from the card it sits on, so stats read as inset
data rather than as another floating surface — a recess, so it takes the
hairline without the shadow.

Also drops .service-block from the generic .service-tag rule, which was what
pinned every number to --text-2xs in the first place.

Visible on Plex, Jellyfin, PaperlessNGX and Uptime Kuma.

vh 45c1995d7a feat(homepage): Australis Skyfall theme + Arbo-generated aurora background
Replaces the previous theme attempt, which was built on a misread: the ask was
to use Arbo as an IMAGE-GEN ENGINE for the background, with the operator's
Australis Skyfall design system supplying the palette.

theme/ holds the source — colors/layout/typography vendored verbatim from the
Skyfall handoff bundle, Supreme 400/500/700 woff2, the Homepage bindings in
skyfall.css.in, and build.py which inlines fonts + tokens into
conf/custom.css. custom.css is GENERATED; edit the .in file and rebuild.

The build exists because Homepage serves only custom.css and custom.js out of
its config dir, so a @font-face pointing at a vendored woff2 would 404 — the
face has to arrive as a data: URI. The background image takes the other route:
/app/public/images is a real static route, so compose.yaml now mounts
images/ there read-only and settings.yaml points at /images/.

Bindings map Skyfall's semantic layer onto Homepage's DOM: Sea surfaces, the
depth recipe (hairline AND two-layer shadow, never one alone), uppercase
eyebrow group headers, the sanctioned accent-rail on the active tab rather
than a glow, and semantic status colour so a green pill means the service is
actually serving.

Background generated by Arbo (irv-ml1:8201) workflow t2i-ui-background, job
13f0891f4e42, seed 26, flux2-klein-9b, 2048x1152 — abstract, no subject,
cool-temperature aurora. 1.6 MB PNG -> 22 KB WebP.

Two deviations are documented rather than hidden: Skyfall forbids imagery
behind body text (held at opacity 30 as mitigation), and service icons stay
full-colour vendor logos.

NOT DEPLOYED — live still runs the old theme. Prototype on :5199.
