Requested directly: "can we make activity orange". The locked eight
palette had already run out at six legible text colours (Watch's blue
was the last one, and it's already a contrast exception); a dithered
swatch alone read as unfinished, and dithering the word itself
rendered as illegible static — tried and reverted this session.
--tt-orange (#ff8000) is defined in base.css right after the locked
eight, clearly marked as a deliberate, acknowledged one-off exception
to "eight colours, no ninth" rather than a secretly-smuggled-in tint.
Same flat text+swatch treatment as every other fastext key. Updated
CLAUDE.md's discipline 1 and DESIGN.md's Locked Eight Rule to name the
exception explicitly, so it reads as a documented decision next time
someone audits the palette, not a bug.
From a frontend-design skill review of all pages, after last session's
chrome changes (top nav, all-tabs nav, header download row):
- The top/closing fastext nav now mutes the entry matching the current
page (.fastext-here) instead of rendering a link to the page you're
already on.
- Colour in fastext is reserved for the four entries that still carry
a real keyboard shortcut (r/g/y/c); the other four render in plain
ink instead of reusing k-red/k-green/k-yellow/k-cyan for a
destination they don't semantically mean (e.g. Requests no longer
shows in the app's own off-air red).
- Discover's badge slot meant "critic score" on its RT tiles and
"release year" on its new search tiles at the same time. Search
results (Library and Discover) now fold year/held-state into the
sub-line instead, leaving the badge exclusively for critic score.
- System's Transmission rows now carry a small ↗ glyph, since they
silently changed from in-app navigation to opening each service's
own UI in a new tab with no visual cue.
- SABnzbd polling drops from 5s to 20s on pages that only show the
header's download figure (everywhere but System/Activity, which
keep 5s for their own live figures) — a number idle 95% of the time
doesn't need second-level freshness sitewide.
- DESIGN.md's fastext description, now-current per this session's nav
changes.
Replaces the neutral dark card-based theme with "Page 100": teletext's
locked eight colours at full saturation on pure black, numbered pages
reachable by typing the number (or the r/g/y/c fastext keys), and no
borders, boxes, or radius anywhere — grouping is carried by full-bleed
colour fields and row weight instead.
Chosen via the impeccable skill's replacement-world flow: seven visual
candidates derived from the audience's own world, a mandatory roll
assigned Ceefax/US-cable-guide teletext, six catalog challengers weighed
against it, and the user locked the assigned direction on the decision
page (seed aab4510e).
- New templates for all nine pages (home/watch/library/discover/
requests/system/activity/login/settings) behind a shared _shell.html
carrying the direction contract and _macros.html for the row/bar/tile
vocabulary; deletes the old single-page dashboard.html and its
dedicated stylesheets/script.
- static/css/base.css + teletext.css: the locked palette, a two-height
type scale (Chivo Mono / DotGothic16), and the five disciplines the
system is held to (no in-between tone, no enclosure, one shared bar
ruler, trend only where real history exists, pages weighted by state).
- static/js/service.js: header clock, page-number jump, fastext keys,
two-tap arm/confirm add, guarded live polling — replaces dashboard.js.
- app.py: nav_items now carry page numbers; fastext defaults added to
the page-chrome context processor; version bumped to 2.0.0.
- DESIGN.md + .impeccable/design.json regenerated from the built world
by the documenter pass; PRODUCT.md and CLAUDE.md updated to describe
the new system in place of the retired one.
- Fixed a live bug found along the way: settings.html called
url_for('dashboard'), an endpoint removed earlier in the branch, which
would have 500'd the Settings page.
- Fixed a One-Ruler violation the finish review's recapture request
surfaced: --bar-cells disagreed with the bar() macro's hardcoded cell
count below the 760px breakpoint, so a fill could land mid-cell on a
phone. Removed the mobile override; the ruler is now 20 cells at every
width, matching the macro unconditionally.
Passed two inspection rounds (desktop + true-390px mobile, via an
iframe harness since macOS Chrome clamps --window-size) and a finish
review; QA screenshots and interview logs are gitignored as scratch,
not shipped in the repo.
