+ # template-kit/no-client-directive-in-contract
8
+
9
+ > A section's four contract files may never carry `"use client"`. This is the one rule
10
+ > scoped by **filename**, not by the directive.
11
+
12
+ ## Rule
13
+
14
+ The rule runs only on a section's four contract files — `Renderer.tsx`, `schema.ts`,
15
+ `fill-spec.ts`, `fixtures.ts` — matched by glob. On one of those files, a `"use client"`
16
+ string in the **directive prologue** is reported.
17
+
18
+ The prologue is the run of leading string-literal statements (see
19
+ [server vs client](server-vs-client.md)). Three consequences worth knowing:
20
+
21
+ - **`"use strict"; "use client";` reports.** A second directive is still in the prologue.
22
+ - **`const x = 1;` above `"use client"` does not report** — real code ended the prologue,
23
+ so that string is not a directive. This is a trap, not a loophole: the file is also
24
+ **not an island**, and every server-rendering rule still applies to it. It is a dead
25
+ string.
26
+ - **`foo("use client")` is not a directive** — it is a call argument, and is ignored.
27
+
28
+ Any other file in the section folder may carry the directive freely. That is exactly
29
+ where interactivity belongs.
30
+
31
+ ## Reason
32
+
33
+ The four contract files are the platform's interface to a section. They are read by the
34
+ publisher, the editor, and the fill pipeline — **none of which is a browser**.
35
+ `schema.ts` is loaded to learn what slots exist; `fill-spec.ts` to learn how AI fills
36
+ them; `fixtures.ts` to render a preview; `Renderer.tsx` to produce the section's HTML.
37
+
38
+ Marking one `"use client"` would make the whole section an island — and take the
39
+ section's server-rendered HTML with it. The section would ship as an empty shell that
40
+ only appears once JavaScript has run, which is precisely what a published property page
41
+ must never do.
42
+
43
+ ## Fix
44
+
45
+ Put the interactive part in its **own** `"use client"` component in the section folder,
46
+ and render it from the Renderer. The contract file stays server-only; the island next to
47
+ it does the browser work.

8

9
+ > No effects, state, event handlers, network, or browser globals in server-rendered code.
10
+ > Interactivity is not banned — it is **relocated** into an island. Islands are exempt.
11
+
12
+ ## Rule
13
+
14
+ Whether a file is server-rendered or an island is decided per file, by the `"use client"`
15
+ directive — see [server vs client](server-vs-client.md). On an island this rule installs
16
+ no visitors at all.
17
+
18
+ In a server-rendered file it reports three things:
19
+
20
+ - **React hooks that only mean something in the browser** — `useEffect`,
21
+ `useLayoutEffect`, `useState`, `useReducer`, `useRef`, `useSyncExternalStore`,
22
+ `useImperativeHandle` — called bare (`useState(…)`) or namespace-qualified
23
+ (`React.useEffect(…)`).
24
+ - **Browser globals read as a value** — `fetch`, `XMLHttpRequest`, `window`, `document`,
25
+ `localStorage`, `sessionStorage`, `navigator`. "Read as a value" is exact: the SSR-guard
26
+ idiom `typeof window !== "undefined"` **is** reported, while `cfg.window` (a property)
27
+ and `{ window: 1 }` (an object key) are not.
28
+ - **Event-handler props** — any JSX prop matching `on[A-Z]…` whose value is an expression:
29
+ `onClick={…}`, `onChange={…}`, `onPointerMove={…}`.
30
+
31
+ Carve-outs:
32
+
33
+ - **Your own definitions are yours.** A name that resolves to a real local declaration —
34
+ `function fetch() {}`, your own `useRef` helper — is not the global or React's hook, and
35
+ is left alone.
36
+ - **`onSurface={1}` and `onIcon={<Icon />}` are not handlers.** A prop whose value is
37
+ plainly a literal or a JSX element is not reported.
38
+ - **A handler on an island is not reported here.** If the element's component resolves to
39
+ a real `"use client"` file on disk, this rule stays quiet:
40
+ [`serializable-island-props`](serializable-island-props.md) already speaks for that
41
+ prop, and "move it into a client component" would be nonsense advice for something that
42
+ already is one.
43
+
44
+ ## Reason
45
+
46
+ A server-rendered file is run once, to a string of HTML, in a process that is not a
47
+ browser. There is no `window` to read and no DOM to mutate; an effect never fires, and
48
+ `useState` has no second render to give you. An event handler is worse than useless: it
49
+ is a function, and a function cannot be serialized into HTML, so **it is silently dropped
50
+ from the published page**. The button ships. The click does nothing. Nothing errors.
51
+
52
+ So a Renderer must be a **pure function of its props**. Interactivity is not something the
53
+ kit forbids — it is something the kit gives a specific home: a `"use client"` island,
54
+ which is hydrated in the browser and is exempt from every one of these bans.
55
+
56
+ ## Fix
57
+
58
+ Move the interactive markup into a `"use client"` component in the section folder, and
59
+ render it from the Renderer with plain data props. The Renderer keeps the static markup
60
+ and passes the island what it needs to do its job; the island owns the state and the
61
+ handlers.
62
+
63
+ ### Before
64
+
65
+ ```tsx
66
+ // sections/floorplan/Renderer.tsx
67
+ import { useState } from "react";
68
+
69
+ import { Section } from "@homepages/template-kit";
70
+
71
+ import type { Props } from "./schema.js";
72
+
73
+ export function Renderer({ slots }: Props) {
74
+ const [beds, setBeds] = useState<number | null>(null);
75
+ const shown = beds === null ? slots.units : slots.units.filter((u) => u.beds === beds);
76
+ return (
77
+ <Section>
78
+ <button onClick={() => setBeds(2)}>2 beds</button>
79
+ <ul>
80
+ {shown.map((u) => (
81
+ <li key={u.id}>{u.label}</li>
82
+ ))}
83
+ </ul>
84
+ </Section>
85
+ );
86
+ }
87
+ ```
88
+
89
+ ### After
90
+
91
+ The state and the handler move into an island. Its props are plain data — see
92
+ [`serializable-island-props`](serializable-island-props.md).
93
+
94
+ ```tsx
95
+ // sections/floorplan/UnitFilter.tsx
96
+ "use client";
97
+
98
+ import { useState } from "react";
99
+
100
+ type Unit = { id: string; label: string; beds: number };
101
+
102
+ export default function UnitFilter({ units }: { units: Unit[] }) {
103
+ const [beds, setBeds] = useState<number | null>(null);
104
+ const shown = beds === null ? units : units.filter((u) => u.beds === beds);
105
+ return (
106
+ <div>
107
+ <button onClick={() => setBeds(2)}>2 beds</button>
108
+ <ul>
109
+ {shown.map((u) => (
110
+ <li key={u.id}>{u.label}</li>
111
+ ))}
112
+ </ul>
113
+ </div>
114
+ );
115
+ }
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ ```tsx
119
+ // sections/floorplan/Renderer.tsx
120
+ import { Section } from "@homepages/template-kit";
121
+
122
+ import UnitFilter from "./UnitFilter.js";
123
+ import type { Props } from "./schema.js";
124
+
125
+ export function Renderer({ slots }: Props) {
126
+ return (
127

128
+ <UnitFilter units={slots.units} />
129
+ </Section>
130
+ );
131
+ }
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ The import carries the **emitted** extension (`./UnitFilter.js`) while the file on disk is
135
+ `UnitFilter.tsx` — that is TypeScript's ESM convention, and it is what the kit's rules
136
+ resolve against.

8
+
9
+ > No **local** `.css` import in a section's render path. A **package's** `.css` import
10
+ > belongs there — it is how its stylesheet reaches the section's cascade layer.
11
+
12
+ ## Rule
13
+
14
+ An `import` whose specifier ends in **`.css`**, in any of the section's `.ts`/`.tsx`
15
+ files, is reported **only when the specifier is local** — relative
16
+ (`import "./gallery.css";`) or absolute (`import "/gallery.css";`) — including the
17
+ side-effect-only form with no bindings.
18
+
19
+ A **bare** specifier (`import "swiper/css";`, `import "@scope/pkg/dist/style.css";`) is
20
+ not reported. That is the sanctioned channel for a third-party package's stylesheet.
21
+
22
+ What it does **not** match:
23
+
24
+ - `.scss` and `.less` — a different pipeline, out of this rule's scope;
25
+ - `require("./x.css")`;
26
+ - a dynamic `import("./x.css")`.
27
+
28
+ There is no island exemption: a `"use client"` file is part of the render path too — it is
29
+ server-rendered inline before it is hydrated.
30
+
31
+ ## Reason
32
+
33
+ The section's CSS build works by **bundling the render path itself** — `Renderer.tsx` and
34
+ any enhancer that carries `export const enhancer` — and harvesting the CSS its imports
35
+ pull in. A bare specifier resolves into `node_modules`, which is exactly what that build
36
+ looks for: `import "swiper/css";` in `Renderer.tsx` is not a mistake, it is the mechanism.
37
+
38
+ A **local** stylesheet is a different problem. Every `.css` file that already lives in the
39
+ section's folder is collected on its own, by filename — the build doesn't need an import
40
+ to find it. Importing it again from the render path doesn't just ship duplicate rules
41
+ harmlessly: it can also smuggle a stray `@layer` order statement into a nested layer and
42
+ corrupt the cascade for the whole page.
43
+
44
+ ## Fix
45
+
46
+ Delete the import. A local stylesheet already ships — the build picks up every `.css` file
47
+ in the section folder on its own; importing it again only makes it double-emit.
48
+
49
+ A package's stylesheet is different: import it **by its bare specifier**, from the module
50
+ that needs it. The build bundles `Renderer.tsx` and every marked enhancer's import graph
51
+ **transitively**, so a bare specifier is equally legal in the Renderer itself, in a marked
52
+ enhancer, or in any component either one imports — not only at the top of the tree. That
53
+ import is how the build finds the stylesheet and routes it into the section's cascade
54
+ layer.
55
+
56
+ ### Before
57
+
58
+ ```tsx
59
+ // sections/gallery/Renderer.tsx
60
+ import { Section } from "@homepages/template-kit";
61
+
62
+ import "./styles.css"; // template-kit/no-css-import-from-render-path — already collected by filename
63
+
64
+ import type { Props } from "./schema.js";
65
+
66
+ export function Renderer({ slots }: Props) {
67
+ return (
68
+ <Section>
69
+ <div className="tr-gallery-track">{slots.headline}</div>
70
+ </Section>
71
+ );
72
+ }
73
+ ```
74
+
75
+ ### After
76
+
77
+ The local import is simply deleted — `styles.css` was already shipping:
78
+
79
+ ```tsx
80
+ // sections/gallery/Renderer.tsx
81
+ import { Section } from "@homepages/template-kit";
82
+
83
+ import type { Props } from "./schema.js";
84
+
85
+ export function Renderer({ slots }: Props) {
86
+ return (
87
+ <Section>
88
+ <div className="tr-gallery-track">{slots.headline}</div>
89
+ </Section>
90
+ );
91
+ }
92
+ ```
93
+
94
+ Compare a **package's** stylesheet, which is the legal counterpart — imported by its bare
95
+ specifier, from the same file, and left in place:
96
+
97
+ ```tsx
98
+ // sections/gallery/Renderer.tsx
99
+ import { Section } from "@homepages/template-kit";
100
+ import "swiper/css"; // legal — a bare specifier is how package CSS reaches this section's layer
101
+
102
+ import type { Props } from "./schema.js";
103
+
104
+ export function Renderer({ slots }: Props) {
105
+ return (
106
+ <Section>
107
+ <div className="tr-gallery-track">{slots.headline}</div>
108
+ </Section>
109
+ );
110

8
+
9
+ > No hard-coded colours in section code. **Islands are not exempt** — this is the one
10
+ > rule that holds on both sides of the hydration boundary.
11
+
12
+ ## Rule
13
+
14
+ This rule ships as a **warning**, not an error: a section spending theme tokens is
15
+ recommended, not gated. A hard-coded colour squiggles in your editor, but it does not
16
+ fail `template-kit check` (the check gates on errors only, so a warning never reaches it)
17
+ and so does not block ingest either. The guidance below is still the right thing to do —
18
+ it only changes what the linter does with a violation, not whether the violation is
19
+ worth fixing.
20
+
21
+ The rule flags two shapes:
22
+
23
+ - **A CSS colour function that bakes a colour**, anywhere in a string or template
24
+ literal: `oklch(…)`, `oklab(…)`, `rgb(…)`, `rgba(…)`, `hsl(…)`, `hsla(…)`,
25
+ `color-mix(…)`. No context test — nobody spells an anchor id `rgb(...)`. **One
26
+ carve-out:** a `color-mix()` whose colour arguments are all theme-derived is legal —
27
+ see below.
28
+ - **A hex literal** (3, 4, 6, or 8 digits) **in a colour context**. A colour context is
29
+ a Tailwind arbitrary-value bracket that resolves to a colour:
30
+ - a colour property — `[color:#fff]`, `[background:#fff]`, `[background-color:#fff]`,
31
+ and the rest of `border-color`, `outline-color`, `box-shadow`, `text-shadow`,
32
+ `fill`, `stroke`, `caret-color`, `accent-color`, `text-decoration-color`;
33
+ - **any** custom property — `[--brand:#ff0000]`;
34
+ - a colour-utility prefix, with variants stripped — `bg-[#f00]`, `hover:bg-[#f00]`,
35
+ `md:dark:text-[#f00]`, `border-t-[#000]`, and the same for `ring`, `outline`,
36
+ `shadow`, `fill`, `stroke`, `decoration`, `divide`, `accent`, `caret`,
37
+ `placeholder`, `from`, `via`, `to`;
38
+ - or anywhere inside a JSX `style` attribute.
39
+
40
+ Everywhere else, a `#`-prefixed string is left alone: `href="#cafe"` is an anchor, and
41
+ `w-[#…]` is not a colour utility. `#cafe`, `#facade`, `#decade`, and `#beef` are real
42
+ anchor ids that happen to be spelled from hex digits.
43
+
44
+ Every hex-shaped token in a string is checked, not just the first — an out-of-context
45
+ token early in a `className` cannot shadow a genuine colour later in it.
46
+
47
+ ### The `color-mix()` carve-out
48
+
49
+ A `color-mix()` carries **no palette of its own** when every one of its colour arguments
50
+ is theme-derived — a `var(--…)` reference, `transparent`, `currentColor`, or a nested
51
+ `color-mix()` judged on these same terms. It composes a colour out of the theme the
52
+ section was handed, so it is as theme-agnostic as `bg-surface` and cannot break when
53
+ another template reuses the section. It is legal:
54
+
55
+ ```
56
+ hover:bg-[color-mix(in_srgb,var(--tr-color-surface)_92%,var(--tr-color-ink))]
57
+ bg-[color-mix(in_srgb,var(--tr-color-ink)_50%,transparent)] ← a translucent tint:
58
+ overlay, scrim, hover wash
59
+ ```
60
+
61
+ A mix weight (`92%`) is not a colour; only the colour arguments are tested.
62
+
63
+ `transparent` and `currentColor` are the only palette-free keywords: `transparent` names
64
+ the *absence* of a colour, and `currentColor` defers to the inherited (theme-driven)
65
+ `color`. Every other CSS named colour (`white`, `black`, `rebeccapurple`, …) is a baked
66
+ palette exactly as a hex is. So these report:
67
+
68
+ ```
69
+ color-mix(in srgb, var(--tr-color-primary) 80%, #fff) ← a hex literal
70
+ color-mix(in srgb, var(--tr-color-primary) 80%, white) ← a CSS named colour
71
+ color-mix(in srgb, var(--tr-color-accent, #fff) 80%, …) ← a var FALLBACK is a baked
72
+ colour the moment the
73
+ property is undefined
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ The carve-out is `color-mix()` **only** — it is the one colour function that *composes* a
77
+ colour rather than stating one. The other six take raw channel values, so they bake a
78
+ colour by construction: `rgb(0 0 0)`, `oklch(0.7 0.1 20)`, and even
79
+ `rgb(var(--r) var(--g) var(--b))` report.
80
+
81
+ ## Reason
82
+
83
+ A section carries **zero palette of its own**. It is theme-agnostic, and must look
84
+ right under every template's theme — so a baked colour breaks the first time another
85
+ template reuses the section. Keeping colour in tokens is what makes a section portable
86
+ rather than a one-off.
87
+
88
+ This is why islands get no exemption. An island is exempt from the effect, state,
89
+ handler, and inline-`style` bans because those are server-render concerns and an island
90
+ runs in the browser. A palette is not a render-path concern: the hydration boundary is
91
+ not a palette boundary.
92
+
93
+ ## Fix
94
+
95
+ Use one of your theme's colour utilities. If the value is genuinely brand decoration with
96
+ no token yet, add it to `colors` in the **template's** `theme.ts` — the key `lagoon`
97
+ compiles to `--tr-color-lagoon` and the `bg-lagoon` / `text-lagoon` utilities — which
98
+ keeps the value in one place instead of in one section.
99
+
100
+ If you need a colour the theme does not name — a hover, active, or pressed step — derive
101
+ it from the tokens the theme *does* name with `color-mix()`, rather than reaching for a
102
+ literal to lighten or darken with.
103
+
104
+ ### Before
105
+
106
+ ```tsx
107
+ import { Section } from "@homepages/template-kit";
108
+
109
+ import type { Props } from "./schema.js";
110
+
111

112
+ return (
113
+ <Section>
114
+ <div className="bg-[#f5f5f5]">
115
+ <h2 style={{ color: "#1a1a1a" }}>{slots.headline}</h2>
116
+ </div>
117
+ </Section>
118
+ );
119
+ }
120

132

134
+ </div>
135
+ </Section>
136
+ );
137
+ }
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ ### A state colour, derived
141
+
142
+ Lightening a hover step by mixing in a hard-coded white is both the violation and the
143
+ bug: under a dark theme it lightens a button the theme wanted dark. Mix toward a colour
144
+ the **theme** names, and the step follows whatever theme the section is handed.
145
+
146
+ ```tsx
147
+ // Before — `#fff` is a palette this section invented.
148
+ <button className="bg-primary hover:bg-[color-mix(in_srgb,var(--tr-color-primary)_80%,#fff)]">
149
+ {slots.cta}
150
+ </button>
151
+
152
+ // After — every colour argument is a theme var.
153
+ <button className="bg-primary hover:bg-[color-mix(in_srgb,var(--tr-color-primary)_80%,var(--tr-color-surface))]">
154
+ {slots.cta}

+ # template-kit/no-inline-style
8
+
9
+ > No inline `style=` in server-rendered section JSX. Islands are exempt — but an island
10
+ > is **not** exempt from [`no-hex`](no-hex.md).
11
+
12
+ ## Rule
13
+
14
+ Whether a file is server-rendered or an island is decided per file, by the `"use client"`
15
+ directive — see [server vs client](server-vs-client.md). On an island this rule installs
16
+ no visitors at all.
17
+
18
+ In a server-rendered file it reports **any JSX attribute named `style`, on any element**.
19
+ The value is never inspected: a static object, a computed one, a spread, a string — all
20
+ the same. There is no "but this one is fine" case in a server-rendered file.
21
+
22
+ **The island exemption does not extend to colour.** `no-hex` reads inside `style` values
23
+ and has no island exemption at all, so this still fails on a `"use client"` file:
24
+
25
+ ```tsx
26
+ "use client";
27
+
28
+ export default function Badge() {
29
+ return <div style={{ color: "#ff0000" }} />; // template-kit/no-hex
30
+ }
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ Exempt from *this* rule; still a hard-coded colour.
34
+
35
+ ## Reason
36
+
37
+ Three concrete failures, all of them server-render concerns:
38
+
39
+ - **It bypasses the cascade.** An inline style is the highest-specificity declaration
40
+ short of `!important`, so a template's theme can no longer restyle the section. The
41
+ section stops being portable.
42
+ - **It skips Tailwind's responsive prefixes.** `style={{ padding: 16 }}` has no
43
+ breakpoint form; there is no way to say "16 on mobile, 48 on desktop" in it. Utilities
44
+ have exactly that (`p-4 lg:p-12`), which is why the layout ladder lives in classes.
45
+ - **It churns per-call identity** that the editor's hash-based diff cannot dedupe — the
46
+ editor re-renders the section on every keystroke, and a fresh style object each render
47
+ is work it cannot skip.
48
+
49
+ An island computing a transform from live pointer state has none of these problems: it
50
+ runs in the browser, it is not part of the cascade the theme is styling, and that is
51
+ precisely what an island is for. So it is exempt.
52
+
53
+ ## Fix
54
+
55
+ Use Tailwind utility classes. For a value that only exists at runtime, move the markup
56
+ into a `"use client"` island, where `style` is allowed.
57
+
58
+ ### Before
59
+
60
+ ```tsx
61
+ import { Section } from "@homepages/template-kit";
62
+
63
+ import type { Props } from "./schema.js";
64
+
65
+ export function Renderer({ slots }: Props) {
66
+ return (
67
+ <Section>
68
+ <div style={{ padding: 16, display: "flex", gap: 8 }}>
69
+ <h2>{slots.headline}</h2>
70
+ </div>
71
+ </Section>
72
+ );
73
+ }
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ ### After
77
+
78
+ ```tsx
79
+ import { Section } from "@homepages/template-kit";
80
+
81
+ import type { Props } from "./schema.js";
82
+
83
+ export function Renderer({ slots }: Props) {
84
+ return (
85
+ <Section>
86
+ <div className="flex gap-2 p-4">
87
+ <h2>{slots.headline}</h2>
88
+ </div>
89
+ </Section>
90
+ );
91
+ }
92
+ ```
93
+
94
+ The runtime-value case — a transform driven by live state — has no utility form, and is
95
+ the case the island exemption exists for:
96
+
97
+ ```tsx
98
+ // sections/hero/Parallax.tsx
99
+ "use client";
100
+
101
+ import { useState } from "react";
102
+ import type { ReactNode } from "react";
103
+
104
+ export default function Parallax({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
105
+ const [offset, setOffset] = useState(0);
106
+ return (
107
+ <div
108
+ onPointerMove={(e) => setOffset(e.clientX / 40)}
109
+ style={{ transform: `translateX(${offset}px)` }}
110
+ >
