 # Building with @kerfjs/ui
 
-Read `../README.md`, `../docs/component-contract.md`, and `../docs/accessibility.md` before changing a consuming interface. Read `../docs/webawesome-theme.md` when using Web Awesome components or changing shared theme tokens.
+Read `../docs/component-selection.md` first, then `./component-catalog.json`,
+`./component-catalog-v2.json`,
+`./public-api-signatures-v1.md`, `./compile-time-contracts-v1.json`,
+`./webawesome-jsx-signatures-v1.md`,
+`../docs/recipes.md`, `../README.md`,
+`../docs/component-contract.md`, and `../docs/accessibility.md` before changing
+a consuming interface. Use the signature snapshot for exact props, callbacks,
+return values, and supported import paths; do not infer them from examples.
+Treat each `KUI-T###` contract as an exact declaration guarantee, including its
+documented dynamic-data widening. Do not extend those diagnostics to child
+markup, live DOM relationships, disposer invocation, or other conditions that
+TypeScript cannot prove from one call.
+Read `../docs/webawesome-theme.md` when using Web Awesome components or changing
+shared theme tokens.
+
+Before choosing or aligning components, look for a consumer-owned catalog that
+conforms to `./component-catalog-extension.schema.json`. Treat its entries as a
+second, package-qualified input beside `./component-catalog.json`: search both,
+preserve their source identity, and use the shared `geometry` vocabulary across
+their composition boundary. When a consuming project has reusable visual
+components, prefer its generated `component-catalog-v2.json`. A package
+scaffolded by `create-kerf-component` owns the decisions in
+`kerf.components.json`; run `npm run catalog:check` before using its output. If
+no generated extension exists, start from the checked examples and require the
+author to supply missing semantic and geometry decisions; never infer them from
+rendered appearance.
+
+Use v1 for selection, delivery, and compatibility. Use v2 when evaluating
+composition. Join catalogs by `key` (`package:id`), never bare `id`. Treat
+`generated-permissive-default` composition provenance as unknown/allowed, not
+as a prohibition. Emit a diagnostic only after mechanically establishing its
+exact `when` condition; subjective guidance stays prose. App entries use the
+v2 extension schema and retain their own package identity across Kerf edges.
+
+Before selecting for an application, call the Node-side discovery API in
+`./application-ui-profile.mjs` (or implement its documented filename/order)
+from the workspace root and target directory. Apply package defaults first,
+then workspace policy, then directory-local profiles parent-to-child. Honor the
+resolved profile's preferences, theme/density allowlists, tokens, layout, and
+responsive policy. Treat only its exact, narrow exception targets as waived;
+never generalize an exception to siblings or infer product data into a profile.
+Surface every returned source file + JSON-path diagnostic before generating UI.
+Each layer is checked against its then-effective catalogs; later overrides do
+not excuse broken catalogs or stale references in a parent layer. Synchronous
+ESLint integrations use `./application-ui-profile-sync.cjs` and surface any
+failure as `KUI-L090`.
+
+Choose from the need, not from visual resemblance:
+
+1. Search the consumer extension first, then the Kerf catalog and preferred Web Awesome subset.
+2. Reuse a primitive when purpose, anatomy, state, and interaction match.
+3. Compose primitives for recurring layout. Prefer public props and tokens; use only cataloged `publicClasses` when composition-specific CSS needs a selector.
+4. Add a thin application adapter for copy, domain mapping, actions, routing, persistence, permissions, and transport.
+5. Build custom markup only when the semantic contract differs; if it recurs across products, open an upstream component or recipe request.
+

+
+For a complete shell, sidebar, workspace header, list-detail dialog, composer
+form, list-state lifecycle, or mixed-control toolbar, start from the runnable
+reference in [`docs/recipes.md`](../docs/recipes.md). Preserve its production
+primitives and semantic ownership; replace application state, policy, and copy.
+
+The concise human decision matrix is in [`component-selection.md`](../docs/component-selection.md). For exhaustive tool retrieval, load [`component-catalog.json`](./component-catalog.json), the canonical metadata for every public component/helper, composition, and supported Web Awesome entry. Its `geometry` object identifies who owns margin, border, and padding; use that contract to avoid double-insetting or wrapping an already complete surface. Use its linked current recipes instead of inferring behavior from CSS.
+
+Before presenting an integration as complete, run `kerf-ui-analyze --root <workspace>`.
+Treat its error diagnostics as required fixes and review each review-level finding
+against the resolved application profile. Use `--format sarif` in code-scanning
+workflows and `--fail-on-review` when the project requires a zero-review budget.
+Do not suppress a finding in source; add only a narrowly targeted, justified
+profile exception when the deviation is deliberate.
 
 Hard rules:
 
 1. Import visual components from explicit JavaScript subpaths. In CSS-aware browser builds each subpath brings in its own reachable CSS, including UI subcomponents, while unrelated CSS remains out. The root barrel and `@kerfjs/ui/unstyled` are CSS-free; pair the root barrel with `styles.css` only when the complete layer is intentional. Manual CSS subpaths remain available for custom pipelines.
 2. Components return Kerf `SafeHtml`. Never pass DOM nodes as children or use inline JSX event handlers.
-3. Keep state, product copy, persistence, and domain mappings in the application. Do not add product-specific actions or fields to a generic component.
+3. Keep state, product copy, persistence, and domain mappings in the application. Do not add product-specific actions or fields to a generic component. Put ListItem/ListActionRow/ListHeader/AppTab domain `data-*` metadata in `rootAttributes`; use ListActionRow `trailingActionAttributes` and ListHeader `triggerAttributes` only for domain `data-*` or native popover target/action and `aria-controls`/`aria-haspopup`. These slots do not replace component-owned action, item/tab identity, selection, disclosure, naming, disabled, icon, or role semantics.
 4. Wire `data-action` hooks from one stable root with `delegate()` or `delegateActions()` and retain disposers.
-5. Use the opinionated `--kui-color-*` semantic ramps and component-level override properties. Override tokens at the narrowest useful scope; do not hard-code appearance-specific colors or replace private descendant rules.
-6. `Select` is pure until the app explicitly imports `@kerfjs/ui/select/register`; do not import Web Awesome's full registration bundle. When an app uses Web Awesome components, import the CSS-only `@kerfjs/ui/webawesome.css` theme once and keep importing individual Web Awesome component modules so their JavaScript remains tree-shakeable.
-7. Decorative icons are hidden; controls are named; focus is visible; state never relies on color alone; reduced motion and increased contrast remain usable.
-8. `ResizableRegion` uses `wireResizableRegions()` for Arrow, Shift+Arrow, Home/End, and pointer behavior. The app owns size persistence.
+5. Use the opinionated `--kui-color-*` semantic ramps and component-level override properties. Override tokens at the narrowest useful scope and prefer equivalent props/tokens. Public-class-to-public-class selectors are supported when every Kerf class appears in the catalog entry's `publicClasses`; never target descendant tags, ids, attribute-only anatomy, or unlisted implementation classes.
+6. `Select` is pure until the app explicitly imports `@kerfjs/ui/select/register`; do not import Web Awesome's full registration bundle. When an app writes direct `wa-*` JSX, add `import type {} from '@kerfjs/ui/webawesome'` for the catalog-supported intrinsic-element declarations, import the CSS-only `@kerfjs/ui/webawesome.css` theme once, and keep importing individual Web Awesome component modules so their JavaScript remains tree-shakeable. The type boundary emits no code and registers nothing. Pass icon-bearing `choices` and `renderSelected` content normally: `Select` preserves its slotted option icons across Kerf rerenders and keys selected content by the controlled value, so app wrappers must not add competing morph-control attributes.
+7. Decorative icons are hidden; controls are named; focus is visible; state never relies on color alone; reduced motion and increased contrast remain usable. `DisclosureArrow` defaults to an 18px root-scaled visual and exposes `--kui-disclosure-arrow-size` for consumer sizing; it never becomes the interaction or accessible-name owner. Put it in an owning native control with a stable accessible name and controlled `aria-expanded`. `ListHeader` toggle mode supplies it when `actionIcon` is omitted, but the app must reveal matching content; a custom icon replaces it. Author replacement icon content facing right before its configured direction transform is applied. Direction changes take the shortest rotation path, with counterclockwise chosen for a 180-degree closed-to-open tie. Kerf `Select` separately keeps its intrinsic Web Awesome expand glyph at `--kui-disclosure-icon-scale: .5`.
+8. `ResizableRegion` uses `wireResizableRegions()` for Arrow, Shift+Arrow, Home/End, and pointer behavior. The app owns size persistence. `handleIcon` replaces decorative dormant glyph content only.
 9. Use controlled `SegmentedControl` for a small exclusive choice set. Select `appearance="toolbar"` when nesting it inside `ToolbarControlGroup`; use rounded or pill shapes for standalone contexts. Handle its action, update `value`, keep meaningful choice labels, and preserve every enabled native button in sequential Tab order.
-10. Compose `AppTab` inside controlled `TabBar`; call `wireTabBars()` once and retain its disposer. It owns same-bar drag mechanics, including proximity-based horizontal edge autoscroll, while the app applies `onReorder` and owns order, selection, panels, close policy, routing, and persistence.
-11. Demo work uses public production component subpaths and their browser-selected CSS. Give every public visual component its own category-grouped catalog route; list themed third-party components under a clearly labeled collapsible ecosystem section, with a focused route for each. Declare direct `uses` relationships so `Used by` stays derivable, and theme shell chrome through the same semantic tokens as the stage instead of drawing a substitute.
-12. The Web Awesome theme makes Tooltip and Popover arrowless by default. Keep that default unless a pointer materially clarifies the anchor; opt back in with `--wa-tooltip-arrow-size`, `--kui-wa-popover-arrow-size`, or a popover's public `--arrow-size`, and use `without-arrow` when local no-arrow intent should survive theme changes.
-13. Treat the complete Web Awesome catalog as support coverage, not a recommendation list. Consider Popup when it replaces custom anchored positioning. Prefer Kerf `Select` over direct Dropdown/Dropdown Item/Select/Option composition, `SegmentedControl` over Button Group, `TabBar` or `SegmentedControl` over Web Awesome Tabs, `LucideIcon` over Web Awesome Icon, and `ResizableRegion` over Split Panel. Use Tree/Tree Item, Animated Image, and Comparison only for a specific required behavior; avoid Zoomable Frame.
+10. Compose `AppTab` inside controlled `TabBar`; call `wireTabBars()` once and retain its disposer. It owns same-bar drag mechanics, including proximity-based horizontal edge autoscroll, while the app applies `onReorder` and owns order, selection, panels, close policy, routing, and persistence. Arrow/Home/End select on move by default and restore focus by bar/tab identity when controlled activation replaces the strip; pass `activation: 'manual'` (or `TabBar activation="manual"` per strip) so arrow keys move focus only and the user selects with Enter/Space/click — use it when selecting a tab is a heavy action. Use runtime-filtered `rootAttributes` for domain metadata and keep an optional `closeIcon` decorative and noninteractive.
+11. Use token-controlled `TokenSearchField` when free text and removable structured filters share one editor. Editable text stays DOM-owned between token changes. The leading icon, first text line, clear action, and trailing slot share one fixed row when content wraps. The app owns parsing and suggestions; call `readTokenSearchField()` on input, empty `textContent` on clear, use `placeTokenSearchCaret()` after explicit controlled focus changes, and call `wireTokenSearchFields()` once so Enter submits without inserting a line break and keyboard chip deletion restores focus plus the text-relative caret after controlled replacement. Enable `collapsible` for an animated iconic closed state, standalone or inside `ToolbarControlGroup`; the field keeps text or tokens expanded, and `wireTokenSearchFields()` manages the transient expand/collapse/focus by default (activate to reveal + focus, Escape or empty blur to collapse). Bind the field's `expanded` to the returned handle's `expanded(id)` signal or adopt your own via `collapsible.signals`; opt a behavior out only when the app must own it. Do not hand-roll the open handler, the focusout collapse, a clear-button mousedown guard, or reopening after controlled clear — the helper keeps the replacement editor open and focused. For real-app adoption it also provides a focusout keep-open exception (`data-token-search-keep-open` regions or `collapsible.keepOpenOn(target)`, so a sibling suggestions/date/help surface does not collapse an empty field), opt-in atomic-chip keyboard (`keyboard`: Backspace/Delete remove the adjacent chip via `onRemoveToken`, ArrowRight moves the caret past a trailing chip), and an `onEdit({id, editor, event})` input callback (the `InputEvent` lets you gate on `inputType`/`data`) — reach for these instead of re-adding hand-rolled keydown/input handlers around the field.
+12. Demo work uses public production component subpaths and their browser-selected CSS. Give every public visual component its own category-grouped catalog route; list themed third-party components under a clearly labeled collapsible ecosystem section, with a focused route for each. For the complete focused/composition decision, `CatalogExample` / `CatalogExampleStack` row/group nesting, exact specimen selection, geometry-overlay legend and exclusions, skip-marker behavior, and metadata ownership, follow the single [Catalog demo authoring contract](../docs/catalog.md#catalog-demo-authoring-contract), discovered machine-readably through [`catalog-authoring.json`](./catalog-authoring.json). Never infer structure from private `kui-catalog-*` classes. Project each component's deterministic repository-relative demo source and existing documentation path so the detail can expose `View demo source` and `Read guidance` links without a runtime export; also derive first-party component implementation paths from their canonical browser imports, and label Web Awesome documentation as Kerf integration guidance. Declare direct `uses` relationships so `Used by` stays derivable, and theme shell chrome through the same semantic tokens as the stage instead of drawing a substitute. Enable `wireCatalog({ revealSelection: true })` for long desktop sidebars so controlled selections remain visible without moving focus; keep its default compact media guard unless compact scrolling is an explicit product behavior, and use `revealCatalogEntry` for an initial deep link.
+13. The Web Awesome theme makes Tooltip and Popover arrowless by default. Keep that default unless a pointer materially clarifies the anchor; opt back in with `--wa-tooltip-arrow-size`, `--kui-wa-popover-arrow-size`, or a popover's public `--arrow-size`, and use `without-arrow` when local no-arrow intent should survive theme changes. Its non-field chrome uses `--kui-wa-control-inset` (8px controls/items), `--kui-wa-surface-margin` / `--kui-wa-surface-inset` (8px around/inside Accordion, Card, Details, Callout, and Include), and `--kui-wa-container-inset` (16px Tab Panel content); override those tiers instead of restyling individual parts. Checkbox and Radio Group option regions, the Color Picker trigger, and Slider's complete interactive region receive the shared 8px logical inline outer inset because those controls have no bordered field shell. Known Date field captions and bordered text-like field hints align with values at the 9px border-plus-padding inset. OTP Input's label uses the same uppercase xs/650 treatment as other field labels, and both its label and hint use that 9px inset.
+14. Treat the complete Web Awesome catalog as support coverage, not a recommendation list. Its UX sidebar marks superseded and exceptional entries `Discouraged`. Consider Popup when it replaces custom anchored positioning. Prefer Kerf `Select` over direct Dropdown/Dropdown Item/Select/Option composition, `SegmentedControl` over Button Group, `TabBar` or `SegmentedControl` over Web Awesome Tabs, `LucideIcon` over Web Awesome Icon, and `ResizableRegion` over Split Panel. Use Tree/Tree Item, Animated Image, and Comparison only for a specific required behavior; avoid Zoomable Frame.
+15. Build sidebars, main areas, inspectors, and dialogs from `@kerfjs/ui/layout.css`: an unpadded `.kui-pane`, optional `.kui-pane__toolbar`, one scrolling `.kui-pane__content`, and optional `.kui-pane__footer`. Use `List` instead of a hand-written flex-column wrapper when rows or sections need stretch alignment, standard/custom gap, flex growth, one vertical scroll owner, or physical-edge dividers; `dividerSides` uses canonical `t`/`r`/`b`/`l` order. Add `.kui-content` for 24px major vertical separation and `.kui-content-item` for a child-owned 8px inline margin, 1px transparent-or-visible border, 8px padding, and 12px radius. Use the pill modifier for 22px. Do not pad pane shells, duplicate item geometry in wrappers, or create nested scroll owners.
+16. Keep a visible collapsible pane's collapse control in its own toolbar. When hidden, move its restore control into the adjacent main toolbar on the corresponding logical edge: leading for an inline-start sidebar and trailing for an inline-end inspector. Collapse the pane completely; do not preserve an empty icon-only rail.
+17. The only direct children of a `Toolbar` zone (`leading`/`center`/`trailing`) are `ToolbarText` (identity/title text) and `ToolbarControlGroup`; never drop bare buttons, inputs, links, or arbitrary markup straight into a zone. `SegmentedControl`, `Select`, a collapsible `TokenSearchField`, and Web Awesome controls all live inside a `ToolbarControlGroup`. For an ordinary icon/action control inside a group, use a plain `<button>` (the group styles `> button` fully) — that is the default; reach for `wa-button` only when you need a Web Awesome feature, chiefly a `wa-dropdown` popup trigger. A popup menu in a toolbar is a `single` `ToolbarControlGroup` wrapping a `wa-dropdown` whose `slot="trigger"` `wa-button` is the toolbar button and whose `wa-dropdown-item`s are the menu, with the dropdown kept under `data-morph-skip-children`. `PanelHeader` composes these for you as a panel/dialog/page heading. Wrap every toolbar item, including dormant text, in `ToolbarControlGroup`. A group remains 44px outside (`calc(2px + remify(42px))`) when its border/background are transparent; use 8px between groups and inside items. Split dormant and interactive regions: `ListHeader` fills the available inline width and keeps its label and mutually exclusive semantic count or non-count `badge` together, with an independent logical-end 44px action unless disclosure mode makes the title cluster the button. Its action visual defaults to 18px through `--kui-list-header-action-icon-size`; never shrink the target to match it. Pass every non-negative safe-integer section quantity through `count` with a localized full spoken `countLabel`; never concatenate it into `label` or put a number in `badge`. `ListItem.trailing` is dormant; use `ListActionRow` when primary and trailing actions need sibling 44px native buttons. Its `label`, `icon`, and `trailingActionIcon` slots are also dormant and cannot contain controls. Let panes relocate at narrow widths instead of shrinking targets.
+18. When a recurring concept has no matching export or production recipe, keep its semantics in a thin application adapter while reusing the public layout vocabulary. The composer recipe uses one visible form surface, `PanelHeader` title/summary ids, shared 8px field/action gutters, 24px major rhythm, and a conditional StateBanner as its only nested semantic surface; do not turn every section into a card or double-inset intrinsically bordered controls. The application-local `../docs/examples/command-palette-adapter.tsx` is reference source for one such missing concept, not an `@kerfjs/ui` runtime export or catalog recipe. The application owns its registration, ranking, history, permissions, availability, shortcut policy, focus policy, dispatch, and copy. If a missing concept recurs across products, open an upstream component or recipe request.
+19. Compose `ValueTable` from typed `ValueTableRow` entries instead of handwritten `dt`/`dd` wrappers. Pass `icon` for the optional 24px leading visual; the row owns 8px of root-scaled top and bottom padding, the 8px iconless or 40px icon-bearing separator start, and the common 8px right inset.
+20. Use `PanelHeader` for a panel, dialog, or page heading, not a custom heading row. It is a plain top `Toolbar` (overriding no Toolbar styles): the leading zone holds an optional icon (a normal bordered `ToolbarControlGroup` given a brand fill with a matching border) and the title as extra-large `ToolbarText`; the app's trailing controls (typically a `ToolbarControlGroup`) go straight in the trailing zone, and the icon group is omitted when no icon is passed. Its optional `summary`/`summaryId` row stays below the title. The app owns modal behavior, focus, dismissal, command policy, and action handling.
+21. Space with the official five-step scale, picked by how connected two elements are — not by eye. `0` `--kui-space-none` = no separation (one unit); `4px` `--kui-space-2xs` = very minor air on a connected cluster; `8px` `--kui-space-xs` = standard, between elements within a group; `16px` `--kui-space-m` = minor, between homogeneous groups; `24px` `--kui-space-l` = major, between heterogeneous groups (the `.kui-content` rhythm). The 8px-vs-24px distinction is inside-a-group vs between-major-differing-regions. `--kui-space-s` (12px) and `--kui-space-xl` (32px) are off-scale exceptions; prefer the five canonical remify-authored tokens. See `docs/layout.md` "Spacing scale".
+22. Pick a whole-screen layout from the opt-in, tree-shakeable subpaths by data + interaction + device, and derive responsiveness from `@kerfjs/ui/device-class`'s `deviceClass()` (`compact` = handset or portrait tablet = one pane at a time). Simple/flat → `NavStack` with one entry (single pane), plus `TabScaffold` (`@kerfjs/ui/tab-scaffold`, iOS bottom tabs, each tab its own `NavStack`) for 2–5 co-equal sections on `compact`. Drill-down → `NavStack` (`@kerfjs/ui/nav-stack`), upgrading to `SplitView` (`@kerfjs/ui/split-view`, list-detail) once both panes fit (`atLeast('tablet')` landscape); `SplitView` collapses to a `NavStack` on `compact`. Complex tool with peripheral panels → `Workbench` (`@kerfjs/ui/workbench`, collapsible rails + drawer) `atLeast('desktop')`, degrading to `NavStack`/overlays below. These are declarative (the app owns the stack/selection/collapsed/active state as signals) with disposer-returning `wire…` helpers; each ships a companion CSS import and stays out of the barrel. For a standalone collapsible rail or bottom drawer outside a full shell, use `CollapsiblePanel` + `CollapsiblePanelToggle` (`@kerfjs/ui/collapsible-panel`) with `wireSidebar` (`@kerfjs/ui/wire-sidebar`): the standard collapse animation and per-side icon convention (`PanelLeft*`/`PanelRight*`/`PanelBottom*`) plus toggle, focus, compact overlay, and persistence semantics. Dialogs pick the same inner layout, then present per device class (full-screen modal on `compact`, inline on desktop). See `docs/app-layouts.md` and `docs/collapsible-panel.md`.
 
 Common mistakes:
 
-| Mistake | Fix |
-| --- | --- |
-| Hard-coded project/transport action in a component | Pass a semantic `data-action` string from an application adapter |
-| Per-instance signal at module scope | Create state in the application or a factory and pass it in |
-| `role="menuitem"` on one button | Use the native button, or implement the complete ARIA menu widget |
-| Test only a custom-element attribute | Assert live property, emitted event, focus, and rendered output |
-| Import all Web Awesome components | Import only `@kerfjs/ui/select/register` for `Select`, or individual Web Awesome modules for other controls; `webawesome.css` registers no JavaScript |
-| Maintain a root list of component styles | Import each visual component from its JS subpath; its reachable CSS follows automatically |
-| Add demo-only markup for a production state | Add the state to the production component, then render that export in the catalog |
-| Choose a listed ecosystem component by default | Apply the component-selection guidance above; catalog coverage means supported and themed, not preferred |

+| Put bare text or controls directly in a toolbar slot                                         | Wrap every item in `ToolbarControlGroup`, using `appearance="borderless"` for transparent chrome                                                      |
+| Reach for `wa-button` for a plain control inside a `ToolbarControlGroup`                     | Use a plain `<button>` (the group styles it fully); `wa-button` is only for Web Awesome features like a `wa-dropdown` popup trigger                   |
+| Let the document, pane, and list all scroll                                                  | Keep fixed chrome outside one `.kui-pane__content` scroll owner per pane                                                                              |

+| Handwrite `ValueTable` row wrappers or compensate their padding or separators                | Compose `ValueTableRow`; its root-scaled block padding, optional icon hook, and separator geometry are public contract                                |
+| Rebuild a panel/dialog heading row by hand                                                   | Use `PanelHeader`: a plain toolbar with an optional bordered icon group, an xl title, trailing controls you pass, and the optional subtitle below     |
+| Force a `width`/`height`/`padding` on a component to size or space it                        | Let it size to its content and tokens; a forced box leaves a halo or a stretched oval — adjust an icon-size or spacing token, not the box             |
+| Wrap a component or region in a card, border, backdrop, or outline to "contain" it           | Let it sit on the surface; add a `.kui-content-item` only for a real distinction — hierarchy comes from alignment, spacing, and type first            |
+| Add another container's padding on top of a content-item's own margin                        | Pick one owner of the inset; a pane has no padding and its `.kui-content` children own the 8/1/8 geometry — stacking them double-insets               |
+| Keep chrome, a label, or a readout that aids no decision                                     | Delete it; every element must help a person decide or act                                                                                             |
+| Override a component's default size or color because it "looks off"                          | Trust the default (a LucideIcon is 24px) and fix the surrounding layout instead                                                                       |
