 # Changelog — adia-ui-kit-forge
 
+## [0.8.41] — 2026-08-17
+
+### Added
+- **`primitive-authoring` gains `references/svg-authoring.md` (#1401)** — chart/SVG-specific quirks (viewBox scaling, token-driven stroke/fill, text measurement) that kept recurring in chart-family reviews.
+- **`primitive-authoring` harvests ADR-0052/0055/0056/0057 into references (#1407)** — leading-scale, native-input conformance, `[selected]` convention, and attribute-grammar decisions now load with the skill instead of living only in the ADR tree.
+
+### Changed
+- **`package-release` tracks the 0.8.41-window release-machinery changes.** `scripts/gate-roster.mjs` gains `check:catalog-tiers` (gh#1494); `scripts/release-pack.mjs`'s Step 4d.5 regen list adds catalog-tiers + a conditional corpus chunk re-harvest (#1396); gate 17 (`dogfood:status`) tolerates the npm-ci layout gate 9 needs (gh#1359); `references/cut-procedure.md` + `references/gates-catalog.md` transcribe the ADR-0069 regen-on-main gate split (derived Class-R artifacts re-derive on main, `dist/` stays committed — #1477) and the `docs/releases` → `docs/ops/releases` move (#1532/#1539), which `scripts/release-pretag-docs-gate` now enforces against the new path.
+- **`ssr-compatibility` references updated to the gh#1430/gh#1436 shape-1 sweep's state** — `guard-patterns.md` (feature-detect over `typeof window`; `isNode()`/`isElement()` over bare `instanceof`), `failure-shapes.md`, `status-ledger.md`, `consumer-workarounds.md`, `test-without-linkedom.md`, and SKILL.md route SSR reports through the new `ssr-seam-report` issue template + `ssr` label (#1404) and the `scripts/dev/ssr-linkedom-smoke.mjs` gate first.
+- **`a2ui-maintenance` — stale `packages/gen-ui/a2ui/corpus` paths corrected to the engine's `corpus/` home (#1392), and the zettel-engine eval floor file is committed so `eval:diff --engine zettel` has a baseline (gh#1391)**; `chunk-authoring.md`/`eval-diagnostics.md`/`mcp-pipeline-ops.md`/`pipeline-overview.md` track the same paths.
+
+### Maintenance
+- **`.claude-plugin/plugin.json` version bump** — moves in lockstep with package.json (the `/plugin update` cache key).
+- **`skills/` touched in this release window** (28 file(s), e.g. `a2ui-maintenance/SKILL.md`) — carried by the entries above.
+
+## [0.8.40] — 2026-08-15
+
+### Maintenance
+- **Lockstep version bump only.** No source changes in this package; bumped to maintain the lockstep version coherence enforced by `scripts/release/check-lockstep.mjs`. Substantive v0.8.40 work shipped in the ADR-0052/0053/0054/0056 attribute-grammar and token-convention breaking wave. See `packages/web-components/CHANGELOG.md#0840--2026-08-15` for details.

+Two protocol layers coexist (ADR-0059, `docs/ops/spec/spec-a2ui-v1-conformance.md`):
+the shipping dialect this pipeline emits (Layer A, `packages/gen-ui/a2ui/`) and
+the vendored A2UI v1.0 Candidate stack (Layer B, `packages/genui/`) reached
+through `packages/genui/wire-bridge/`. Candidate terminology is
+**renderer/agent** — never client/server: `callableFrom` values are
+`rendererOnly`/`agentOnly`/`rendererOrAgent`; the wire function kinds are
+`callRendererFunction`/`callAgentFunction` +
+`rendererFunctionResponse`/`agentFunctionResponse`; the MIME type is
+`application/a2ui+json`; catalog resolution is strict (component `catalogId` →
+surface `catalogId` → error, no registry default). The producer's
+`wireFormat: 'v1'` flag exists and defaults to `'dialect'`
+(`packages/genui/adia-producer/exit-gate.js`). Documents authored here stay
+dialect-shaped; the bridge owns the translation — never hand-write Candidate
+envelopes from this skill's surfaces.

All fail fast outside a monorepo root (`assert-monorepo-root.mjs`); fork-configurable via `--host` / `--scope`. All 6 CLI scripts (plus `scripts/release/check-release.mjs`) have a `selftest` mode wired into CI's Plugin bin selftests step; the 3 helper modules (`assert-monorepo-root`, `gate-roster`, `package-paths`) are exercised through the CLIs' selftests, not their own.

 ```
 
 **Gate 29 was the ADR-0048 latch; since P5 it is a permanent invariant.** Between P1 and P5 the repo was correct in-repo but deliberately **not publishable** (old-name stubs marked `private: true` that the roster still mapped, plus dependency edges onto workspace packages no cut published), and a cut in that window would have shipped broken packages that npm cannot unpublish. **P5 cleared it by landing the real thing** — the six stubs became publishable shims and `PACKAGE_ROSTER` gained the three remaining new names, at which point all 9 offending edges resolved and the gate went green on its own. No gate logic was changed.
 
 It asserts three tree properties over the lockstep roster — no roster dir is `private: true`, and no roster package depends on a workspace package that is either private or absent from the roster — which is why it self-cleared rather than needing a removal. Never bypass it by flipping `private` or hand-editing the roster; that is the exact failure it exists to prevent. Self-check: `node scripts/release/check-estate-split-latch.mjs selftest`. It stays in the roster permanently: it now costs nothing and catches any FUTURE unpublishable dependency edge.
 
+**Layout note (gh#1359): the roster does not run under one uniform `node_modules` shape.** Every gate above is layout-agnostic except two, which pull in opposite directions:
+
+- **Gate 9** (`check:js-bundles-fresh`) needs the **npm-ci layout** — the committed `dist/` bundles are npm-shaped (an entry-relative Phosphor icon glob resolves differently under pnpm's non-hoisted layout, producing a materially larger fresh build that fails the diff). Run pre-flight under `npm ci`.
+- **Gate 17** (`npm run dogfood:status`) needs the **pnpm/bootstrapped layout** for its two live-probe legs (`empty-instantiation`, `padded-route-gutter`) to render icons correctly (gh#340) — but auto-degrades to a static-only run (every other audit it aggregates has no dev-server dependency) rather than hard-failing when it detects an npm-shaped layout, so it no longer blocks a straight npm-ci roster pass. **A static-only pass is not full coverage.** Run `node scripts/dev/bootstrap-worktree.mjs && npm run dogfood:status` once under that layout — before or after the main npm-ci roster pass — to actually exercise the two live-probe legs before tagging.
+

It ships inside `@adia-ai/a2ui`, so a stale index is a publish defect. ADR-0069's gate split moved its PR-blocking freshness onto the `derived-resync` (push:main) job; the pre-cut roster re-asserts it because gate `check:chunks-fresh` cannot — the harvester hashes `tier-index.json` as a harvest *source*, so a stale-but-harvested index keeps that gate green (gh#1494).
+- **Recovery:** `npm run build:catalog-tiers`; if that regen stales `check:chunks-fresh`, `npm run harvest:chunks` (the conditional pair Step 4d.5b runs post-bump — a byte-identical tier regen owes no re-harvest). Stage `tier-index.json` + any corpus outputs.

+**What went wrong:** AdiaUI interactive primitives own their affordance — the host IS the interactive surface: `contenteditable="plaintext-only"` (or a custom non-editable surface), form participation via `UIFormElement` + `ElementInternals`, explicit ARIA on the host, a JS keyboard model per the WAI-ARIA APG, and `--a-*`-token chrome (ADR-0025, 2026-05-11). A native form control under the hood leaks browser chrome the token contract cannot uniformly restyle, imports per-browser keyboard quirks, and splits the value contract. Three primitives stamped a raw `<input>` anyway with no recorded exception — a search field is exactly the case the rule exists for (ADR-0055, gh#1302).
+
+**Fix:** compose an in-house surface already in the tree — pick per component:
+
+- the `combobox-ui` shape — `contenteditable="plaintext-only"` + `role="combobox"` + list filtering (`combobox.class.js:22-23`); now used by `command-ui`'s palette field (`command.class.js:108`) and `select-ui`'s searchable trigger (`select.class.js:442`);
+- composition of `<input-ui>` — the `search-ui` precedent (`search.class.js:19,44`); now used by `drilldown-ui`'s filter field (`drilldown.class.js:184-201`).
+
+Behavior parity is part of done: focus order, IME/paste, `inputmode`, and APG-combobox ARIA, verified by a browser probe on the surface — not by tests alone.
+
+**The exception list is singular and closed:** `<input-ui type="password">` wraps a native `<input type="password">` (`input.class.js:116,213`) because `-webkit-text-security: disc` masking only paints on a real input — a mechanical justification, not an aesthetic one. Nothing else qualifies by convenience; a new exception is its own ADR, not a comment in the class. **Out of scope:** disclosure widgets (`<details>/<summary>`, e.g. `agent-trace.js:170`'s row expand) — the rule covers surfaces that gather user input, participate in `<form>`, or carry a value; a `<details>` toggle does none of these. Widening the rule to all native interactive chrome would be a new decision with its own blast radius.
+
+**Gate:** `npm run audit:stamped-native-buttons` (`scripts/dev/audit-stamped-native-buttons.mjs`; runs in PR CI via `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, NOT in the `npm run check` aggregate) scans `packages/web-components/components/**` + `packages/web-modules/**` `.js` for all four control classes ADR-0055 §Consequences named — `<button` / `createElement('button')` (gh#276, `SANCTIONED_BUTTON` map), `<input` (ADR-0055 / gh#1302, `SANCTIONED_INPUT`), and since gh#1495 `<select` (`SANCTIONED_SELECT`) and `<textarea` (`SANCTIONED_TEXTAREA`) — and fails any hit outside the matching map. The two stamps that widening surfaced are both dispositioned in the maps: `table.class.js` (`createElement('select')` — the numeric-filter operator picker, a value-gathering surface squarely inside the rule, PENDING the same gh#276 filter-popover migration blocker as this file's button/input entries) and `color-picker.class.js` (`createElement('textarea')` — DECIDED gh#1495, keep: an off-screen `execCommand('copy')` clipboard-transport shim, appended and removed within one call, is out of ADR-0025's scope by ADR-0055 §Decision 4's own test — it gathers no user input, joins no `<form>`, carries no user-facing value; the primary path is `navigator.clipboard.writeText` and the shim only runs where the Clipboard API is absent). Entries carry per-file reasons: password is the ADR-0025 exception; `type="file"` pickers (chat-input, upload) and the otp-input / table stamps are listed PENDING their own decision — sanctioned-with-reason is not the same as ratified.

+## Selection-item state — a declared, reflected `selected` prop, never a private `data-*` stamp
+
+A **selection-item primitive** (one selectable option inside a selection-group parent — `segment-ui` in `segmented-ui`, `toggle-option-ui` in `toggle-group-ui`) exposes its current state as a declared, reflected `selected: Boolean` prop, documented as parent-managed, and styled via `[selected]`:
+
+```javascript
+// child — the declared API surface
+static properties = {
+  selected: { type: Boolean, default: false, reflect: true },
+};
+```
+
+```yaml
+# child yaml — the SoT the catalog and A2UI grammar read
+selected:
+  description: >-
+    Whether this option is currently selected. Managed by the parent
+    <group> container — don't set directly; the group's `value` is the
+    single source of truth.
+  type: boolean
+  default: false
+  reflect: true
+```
+
+```css
+/* child css — the state hook is the reflected attribute */
+segment-ui[selected] { … }
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- **The parent's `value` is the single source of truth**; the parent writes `selected` on its children (`segmented.class.js:146,149` sets/removes the attribute; `toggle-group.class.js:104-111` assigns `opt.selected`). Authors and generated markup drive the group's `value`, never `[selected]` on a child (`toggle-group.yaml`'s rules block says so in so many words).
+- **No private `data-*` stamp for API-conceptual state.** `data-selected` hides the state from the yaml SoT, the catalog, and generative authoring — a consumer or the A2UI grammar cannot express "this option is selected" against a stamp that no schema declares. `toggle-group-ui` used to stamp `data-selected` + style `:scope[data-selected]`; it converged onto `segment-ui`'s mechanism (`toggle-option.yaml:38-46`, `toggle-group.css:14`, `toggle-group.test.js:64` asserts the stamp is gone).
+- **Parent-stamped ARIA stays as-is — ARIA is wiring, not API.** `segment-ui` derives `aria-checked` from `selected` (`segment.class.js:42`); `toggle-option-ui` derives `aria-pressed` (`toggle-group.class.js:65`). The reflected prop is the API; the ARIA attribute follows it.
+- **Reference implementation:** `segment-ui` (`segment.yaml:32-36`, `segment.css:7`); `toggle-option-ui` is the converged second instance. A new selection-item primitive copies this shape — extending one of the two by analogy is what produced the divergence in the first place (gh#1303).
+
+Migration note: removing `data-selected` was a breaking change for external CSS that targeted it, so it shipped in two halves — the additive `selected` prop in `0.8.39`, the stamp removal on the `0.8.40` breaking wave with a migration-guide entry (`packages/web-components/CHANGELOG.md`; the ADR text names the wave `0.9.0` — it shipped as `0.8.40`).

The legacy flat `--a-leading-*` family (`none/tight/snug/normal` = 1/1.2/**1.3**/**1.5**) is **retired** — removed from `scale.css` with no value-preserving aliases, because `snug` and `normal` named different values in each family and an alias would silently restyle. Two families under shared step names was the root cause of the literal epidemic (55/131 component files hardcoding `line-height`): no token choice was obviously correct, so authors reached for a number.
+  - **Mapping for the literals you will find in older code:** `1.3` and `1.4` both → `--a-font-leading-normal` (1.35); at the 12–14 px sizes where they occur, ±0.05 is ≤ 0.7 px — below visual significance, and no new step is minted to ratify drift. Escape valve: genuinely multi-line body copy may map up to `--a-font-leading-relaxed` (1.5), case-by-case. Legacy `--a-leading-snug` (1.3) → `--a-font-leading-normal`; legacy `--a-leading-normal` (1.5) → `--a-font-leading-relaxed` — value-nearest, not name-preserving.
+  - **Tracking:** `0.05em` → `--a-font-tracking-wide` (0.04em); everything else was already on-scale (`--a-font-tracking-tight/snug/normal/wide/wider`, `scale.css:75-79`). **Weight:** numeric weights tokenize to `--a-weight-*` (`scale.css:47-52`).
+  - **Gate:** `npm run check:typography-tokens` (`scripts/audit/check-typography-tokens.mjs --strict`, in the `npm run check` aggregate) fails any bare numeric `line-height` (except `0`, the icon line-box-collapse idiom), any `em`-literal `letter-spacing`, any numeric `font-weight`, **and (gh#1496) any numeric literal used as a `var()` fallback** on one of those three properties or on a custom property whose own name names the role (`--alert-line-height`, `--foo-weight`) — `line-height: var(--slider-hint-lh, 1.4)` trips it exactly like a bare literal, because the fallback still computes to the raw number whenever the custom property is unset. When you author a fallback, fall back to a token (`var(--x, var(--a-font-leading-normal))`), not a number — the gate now enforces that rather than merely recommending it. Comments are stripped before scanning.
+  - Shipped as a breaking change on the `0.8.40` wave (`--a-leading-*` were published stylesheet symbols; the ADR text names the wave `0.9.0` — it shipped as `0.8.40`), with its migration-guide entry in the same cycle. Source: ADR-0052.
