 ## Overview
 
-The astro stack covers Astro + TypeScript projects: content sites, marketing sites, blogs, and docs. Interactive islands use React only. Output is static. It ships golden configs for `astro.config.mjs`, `vitest.config.ts` (using `getViteConfig` from `astro/config`), `playwright.config.ts` (preview-server backed), a `tsconfig.json` that extends `astro/tsconfigs/strict`, an `eslint.config.js` that keeps ESLint for this stack alone, and a `.prettierrc` that formats `.astro` files alone.

 ## Scaffold checklist
 
 1. Scaffold with `bunx create-astro@latest`. Choose `TypeScript: Strict`. Skip git init and install.
-2. Add React integration: `bunx astro add react`. Do not use `astro add tailwind`. That command installs the v3 integration. Tailwind v4 arrives via the web manifest.
-3. Install web tooling: `canon tooling sync web . --write`
-4. Install astro adapter: `canon tooling sync astro . --write`
+2. Add React with `bunx astro add react`. Never use `astro add tailwind`, which installs the v3 integration. Tailwind v4 arrives via the web manifest.
+3. Install web tooling with `canon tooling sync web . --write`.
+4. Install the astro adapter with `canon tooling sync astro . --write`.
 5. Extend the `ci` and `development` context entries under `canon/context/` per the web reference's extend sections plus the astro rows below.
 6. Run `bun run lint:fix`, then `bun run format`, then `bun run check`.
 
 ## What ships as golden configs
 
-- `astro.config.mjs`: `@astrojs/react` integration, `@tailwindcss/vite` in `vite.plugins`, `@/` path alias via `vite.resolve.alias`, `ASTRO_SITE` env for the `site` field. Port `4321` plus `WORKTREE_PORT_OFFSET` at `server.port`, with `strictPort` under `vite.server` and `vite.preview`. Astro merges the user's `vite` block into the config backing both its dev and its static preview server, and feeds `server.port` through as the preview port, so the port sits at the top level while the bind guarantee sits under `vite`.
-- `vitest.config.ts`: uses `getViteConfig` from `astro/config` (not `mergeConfig`). jsdom, globals, setup file, `passWithNoTests: true`, v8 coverage, `**/*.astro` in coverage excludes.
-- `playwright.config.ts`: all browsers, `webServer` runs `bun run build && bun run preview` on port `4321` plus `WORKTREE_PORT_OFFSET`, `reuseExistingServer: false`. Astro's dev/prod gap is wide (MDX, island hydration, asset optimization), so E2E always tests the built `dist/`. `DIST_PREBUILT` set in the environment drops the `build` half, running `bun run preview` alone against a `dist/` a prior CI job already produced.
-- `tsconfig.json`: extends `astro/tsconfigs/strict`, adds `skipLibCheck`, `vitest/globals` and `@testing-library/jest-dom/vitest` in types, `@/` paths.
-- `card.config.mjs`, `card-src/pages/og-card.astro`, and `scripts/check-card-exclusion.sh`: the social card route, its structural build exclusion, and the check enforcing it. See `## Social card route` below.
-- `eslint.config.js`: this stack's own flat config, since the web layer lints with oxlint, which parses no `.astro` file. Adds `eslint-plugin-astro` (`.astro` parser via `astro-eslint-parser`). React-hooks scoped to `.jsx`/`.tsx` only (`.astro` is not React). The shared block's `files` selector includes `.astro`, so `check-file/filename-naming-convention` reaches `.ts`, `.tsx`, and `.astro` under `KEBAB_CASE`, overriding Astro's own PascalCase component convention deliberately, on the ground that a component's name in markup comes from the import binding rather than the filename. `.js` and `.jsx` stay out of the rule's own pattern, matching `web` and `nextjs`. `check-file/folder-naming-convention` reaches every `src/**` folder except `__tests__` and the whole `pages/` subtree, which carries its own off-block for the bracket-named dynamic routes and nested slug folders Astro's file-based routing produces. See `canon/context/surfaces/tooling.md` for the measurement.
+### Astro and test configs
+
+The configs below wire Astro into the web layer's test setup.
+
+- `astro.config.mjs` adds `@astrojs/react`, `@tailwindcss/vite` in `vite.plugins`, the `@/` alias via `vite.resolve.alias`, and `ASTRO_SITE` for the `site` field.
+- It serves port `4321` plus `WORKTREE_PORT_OFFSET` at `server.port`, with `strictPort` under `vite.server` and `vite.preview`.
+- Astro feeds `server.port` through as the preview port but merges the `vite` block into the config backing both servers, so the port sits at the top level and the bind guarantee under `vite`.
+- `vitest.config.ts` uses `getViteConfig` from `astro/config`, not `mergeConfig`, with jsdom, globals, the setup file, `passWithNoTests: true`, v8 coverage, and `**/*.astro` in coverage excludes.
+- `tsconfig.json` adds `skipLibCheck`, `vitest/globals` and `@testing-library/jest-dom/vitest` in types, and `@/` paths.
+
+### Playwright config
+
+`playwright.config.ts` runs all browsers, with `webServer` running `bun run build && bun run preview` on port `4321` plus `WORKTREE_PORT_OFFSET` and `reuseExistingServer: false`.
+
+- Astro's dev/prod gap is wide (MDX, island hydration, asset optimization), so E2E always tests the built `dist/`.
+- `DIST_PREBUILT` in the environment drops the `build` half, running `bun run preview` alone against a `dist/` a prior CI job produced.
+
+### ESLint config
+
+`eslint.config.js` is this stack's own flat config, since the web layer lints with oxlint, which parses no `.astro` file. It adds `eslint-plugin-astro` with `astro-eslint-parser`.
+
+- React hooks apply to `.jsx` and `.tsx` only, since `.astro` is not React.
+- `check-file/filename-naming-convention` reaches `.ts`, `.tsx`, and `.astro` under `KEBAB_CASE`, overriding Astro's PascalCase on purpose, since markup names a component by its import binding.
+- `.js` and `.jsx` stay out of that rule, matching `web` and `nextjs`.
+- `check-file/folder-naming-convention` reaches every `src/**` folder except `__tests__` and the `pages/` subtree, which has its own off-block for bracket-named dynamic routes and slug folders.
+- `canon/context/surfaces/tooling.md` carries the measurement behind both naming rules.
+
+The social card files also ship as golden configs, being `card.config.mjs`, `card-src/pages/og-card.astro`, and `scripts/check-card-exclusion.sh`. See `## Social card route` below.

 ## Formatting (extend)

-- Copy every other option from base's `.oxfmtrc.json` into this one by hand. Scan takes the child config over the parent's whole file, so a change to base's options is lost here until it is copied.

 ### What ships
 
-- `card.config.mjs`: a second Astro config whose `srcDir` points at `./card-src`, which the main config's page router never reads. That is what excludes the card from the published build structurally rather than by a filename convention, the same mechanism `scenarios.astro` reaches for with `import.meta.env.DEV`. Its base port is `4421` plus `WORKTREE_PORT_OFFSET`, outside the band `astro.config.mjs` serves from, so a card server and a dev server of one worktree never contend.
-- `card-src/pages/og-card.astro`: the route, shipped as a working placeholder so it serves before any pick has been taken. It imports the project's own global stylesheet, which is what lets the composition read real tokens and real fonts instead of typed copies. It reads `--color-background` and `--color-text`, the names `canon design css` emits, and sets no `font-family` at all so the card inherits the project's body font rather than reading a font token the design system does not emit.
-- `scripts/check-card-exclusion.sh`: fails when the route's `<meta name="og-card-marker">` tag reaches `dist/`, and fails when the route dropped that tag, since the marker is what the leak test reads for.
-- `bun run card:dev` serves the route. `bun run card:check` runs the exclusion check, which base's verify runner, `scripts/verify.ts`, also runs after its build stage whenever the script is installed.
+The route is a second config, an exclusion check, and two scripts. The page itself is covered below.
+
+- `card.config.mjs` is a second Astro config whose `srcDir` points at `./card-src`, which the main config's page router never reads. That excludes the card from the published build structurally.
+- `card.config.mjs` uses base port `4421` plus `WORKTREE_PORT_OFFSET`, outside the band `astro.config.mjs` serves from, so a worktree's card and dev servers never contend.
+- `scripts/check-card-exclusion.sh` fails when the route's `<meta name="og-card-marker">` tag reaches `dist/`, and when the route dropped the tag, since the leak test reads it.
+- `bun run card:dev` serves the route and `bun run card:check` runs the exclusion check, which base's `scripts/verify.ts` also runs after its build stage when the script is installed.
 
-### Why each piece is shaped that way
+### Stylesheet and tokens
 
-The stylesheet import points at `@/styles/global.css`. A project keeping its stylesheet elsewhere retargets that one line, and an unresolved path then refuses the card server by name, which is the loud direction rather than the convenient one. The quiet failure it replaces is a card captured against no stylesheet at all: it renders as an unstyled box and reports success.
+`card-src/pages/og-card.astro` ships as a working placeholder, so it serves before any pick. It imports the project's global stylesheet to read real tokens and fonts, uses `--color-background` and `--color-text` as `canon design css` emits them, and sets no `font-family`, so the card inherits the body font.
 
-A custom property the stylesheet does not define is the same silent failure in a second costume. It takes its fallback, captures cleanly and reports success, so the card ships on typed values while reading as though it read real ones. That is why the route names only properties `canon design css` emits, and why a project retargeting the stylesheet import checks the names against what its own stylesheet defines.
+- The import points at `@/styles/global.css`. A project keeping its stylesheet elsewhere retargets that one line.
+- An unresolved path refuses the card server by name. That is the loud direction, replacing a card captured against no stylesheet that renders unstyled and reports success.
 
-The exclusion is a check rather than a convention because the route has three consumers and only one of them can be enforced. The card server reads it, the capture reads it, and the published build must not carry it.

-`.card` is declared at 600x315, half of the 1200x630 target. `canon capture` opens every page at a fixed 2x device scale factor with no flag to change it, so a half-size element is what lands the captured PNG on the literal size. Declaring it at 1200x630 captures at 2400x1260.

 ### Why v1 is Astro-only
 
-Astro is the one web stack whose config gives a route a structural build exclusion. Next's App Router has no build-time route exclusion at all, and it needs none on the path it will take, since `ImageResponse` is that framework's own production mechanism and a card route there is meant to be served. `vite-react` builds a single-page app with no page router, so a card is a second Rollup entry rather than a route.

 ## Scenario switcher
 
-- `src/components/dev/scenarios.astro` ships as a golden config, always overwritten on sync, since it is toolkit-authored infrastructure rather than a file a project hand-edits.
-- Import it into a page under test to drive candidate treatments of one decision by hand, selected by a query parameter, with a switcher for moving between them.
-- Guarded by `import.meta.env.DEV`, so it renders nothing and ships nothing in a production build.
-- Astro-only. It uses `is:inline`, `define:vars`, and `set:html`, which only the `.astro` file format parses. `vite-react` gets no equivalent until a real decision drives one.

 ## Overview
 
-The base layer covers every project the toolkit scaffolds, whatever language sits on top. It ships formatting, conventional commits, git hooks, CI, and the verify runner. Every other stack extends it, so a decision made here is one every stack inherits. Shell formatting and linting live in the `shell` add-on stack, which a project syncs once it writes shell.
+The base layer covers every project the toolkit scaffolds, whatever language sits on top. It ships formatting, conventional commits, git hooks, CI, and the verify runner. Every other stack extends it, so a decision made here is one every stack inherits. Shell formatting and linting live in the `shell` add-on stack.
 
 A repository with several language roots layers this stack once at the root and skips it per subtree, since git honors only one `core.hooksPath` and a re-dropped husky silently breaks. `canon docs scenarios` carries the recipe.
 
 ## What ships as golden configs
 
-Golden config files live in `tooling/base/configs/` and are copied into the target on `canon tooling sync base . --write`, replacing whatever sits at those paths. They are the source of truth. The reference covers rationale and tradeoffs. Configs show the concrete setup.

-- `commitlint.config.js`: ESM default export extending `@commitlint/config-conventional`. Rules are `header-max-length: 72`, `scope-case: lower-case`, `subject-full-stop: never`, `subject-case` disabled, and a local `no-claude-co-author` rule refusing a `Co-authored-by` trailer that names Claude or Anthropic.
-- `.husky/`: `pre-commit`, `commit-msg`, `pre-push`, `post-merge`, `post-rewrite`.
-- `scripts/verify.ts`: the one verify runner every stack shares, and the command behind `check`. It runs typecheck, lint, format check, shell, unit tests, build, markdown bans, then card exclusion, always in that order, and skips any phase the folder's `scripts/verify.json` leaves out. Node modules only, since a target's own lint and typecheck read it.
-- `scripts/verify.json`: the phases a stack requires, plus any tools and preconditions it probes first. The nearest stack's copy wins. A required phase whose script `package.json` lacks fails the run. A base phase the list leaves out runs only where the folder declares its script. Base requires `check:format`, so a base-only target still fails on a missing one. The shell phase runs only where `package.json` declares `check:shell`, which the `shell` stack adds, and probes for `shfmt` and `shellcheck` first.

 ## What ships as user-owned seeds
 
 Seeds live in `tooling/base/seeds/`. Sync drops each once on first install and never overwrites it, so a project extends them freely.
 
-- `.lintstagedrc`: the glob map below.
-- `.github/workflows/verify.yml`: runs on pull requests targeting `main` and on `workflow_dispatch`. A project with more than one language root adds its own jobs here.

 ## Tool pairing
 
-- Runtime: `bun` as package manager and script runner, `bunx` over `npx` for a one-off executable.
-- Formatting: oxfmt for what it parses, pinned to an exact version so an upgrade arrives as a reviewed diff. oxfmt has no shell parser, so shell formatting is the `shell` stack's.
-- Commits: commitlint against conventional commits, wired through the husky `commit-msg` hook. Format is `<type>(<scope>): <subject>` in imperative mood with no trailing period.
-- Dev dependencies: `oxfmt`, `husky`, `@commitlint/cli`, `@commitlint/config-conventional`. Install via `bun add -D`.

 ## oxfmt
 
 - Add a project's own ignores to `.prettierignore`, which oxfmt reads beside `.gitignore` by default. Sync overwrites `.oxfmtrc.json`, so an entry in its `ignorePatterns` is lost on the next sync.
-- Delete a leftover `.prettierrc` and run `bun remove prettier` by hand after the first sync onto oxfmt. Sync deletes nothing a stack stopped shipping, and the script overrides already stop Prettier from running.

 - Do NOT pass `--ignore-path` to oxfmt. It replaces the default `.gitignore` and `.prettierignore` pair rather than adding to it.

-`bun run check` gates a checkout and writes nothing. Formatting drift fails it at `check:format`, and the failure line names `bun run format`, the one command that writes. It once ran `format` first to auto-fix drift, which rewrote files in a checkout several sessions share on every push and left a gate that could not fail. That was rejected, so the writing pass stays in `bun run format` and a push fails until it runs. The pull request workflow calls `check:format` directly as well.
