+## 0.8.0 — 2026-09-07
+
+The third consumer, and what it and the second found in common.
+
+### Added
+
+- **A page head.** `page_head(title, lede:) { actions }` writes the one
+  shape every page opens with: the title in the page-title register, its
+  lede when it has one, and the actions in a run beside them, wrapping
+  under the title when the page is narrow. Pandatone, Stripeclub and
+  Badger had each drawn their own, and no two agreed on the size of the
+  title or where the buttons went. The document is titled from it unless
+  the view has titled itself.
+
+- **Filters.** A block of registers that narrow a list, each a quiet label
+  and then the choices, in the same two positions every time — a search, a
+  tag, an order, a size are the same kind of control, and are built the
+  same way. `filter_register(label, choices, name:)` writes one; the choice
+  in force carries `aria-current`, which the CSS colours and weights, for
+  the reason the nav says it twice. `search_form(url, frame:, keep:)`
+  writes the first register: a search that narrows the list as you type,
+  into the Turbo Frame named, carrying the other choices so a search does
+  not drop them. Two slots go with it: `--filter-label`, the column the
+  labels occupy, and `--card`.
+
+- **Cards.** `.cards` on a `.grid` lays a list out on the page's own
+  fields, each item `--card` fields wide, two lines between the rows.
+  `.card__link`, `.card__figure`, `.card__name`, `.card__meta` are the
+  parts. No box: the picture is the only filled area a card has.
+
+- **A menu in the nav, and a subnav under the masthead.** `nav_menu(label,
+  current:) { links }` is a destination that opens into destinations — a
+  details element, so it opens with no script — and carries the accent and
+  the weight when where you are is inside it. The shell renders `:subnav`,
+  when an application fills it, as a shaded band under the masthead: a
+  second layer of destinations, inside the one you are in. A host that
+  carries several tools puts the tools in the menu and each tool's own
+  sections in the band.
+
+- **A live search controller.** `its_swiss/live_search_controller.js`,
+  pinned by the engine like the clipboard, submits a search form as you
+  type and takes away the button it makes redundant. The host registers it
+  as `its-swiss-live-search`, beside the clipboard.
+
+### Changed
+
+- The micro register and the quiet colour take `.filter__label` and
+  `.card__meta`.

+
+```erb
+<div class="filters">
+  <%= search_form palettes_path, frame: "palettes", keep: { tag: params[:tag], sort: params[:sort] } %>
+  <%= filter_register "Tagged", [ [ "All", palettes_path, params[:tag].blank? ],
+                                  *tags.map { |t| [ t, palettes_path(tag: t), params[:tag] == t ] } ],

+
+The search form belongs outside the frame it fills, so only the results are
+replaced and the field keeps its cursor. `keep:` carries the other choices as
+hidden fields, so a search does not drop the tag or the order you were reading
+in. The button is there for a browser that runs no script; the controller
+takes it away once it has connected.
+
+A card is `--card` fields wide on the page's own grid — say how many once, and
+again at each width that changes it. The picture is a `.figure` with its
+`--ratio` declared, so its box is whole lines at any width and the name under
+it stays on the grid.
