 - Every first-party visual component and every free Web Awesome 3.12 component has its own stable `?component=<id>` URL and focused demo. Composite header, menu, and feedback scenarios remain addressable alongside their subcomponents; the root opens the first Kerf component. The former aggregate Web Awesome theme specimen is intentionally omitted because its component families are covered by those focused routes.
-- `ai/component-catalog.json` is the canonical catalog metadata. A deterministic checked-in projection supplies the demo's unique id, category, kind (`component`, `composition`, or `recipe`), source (`kerf` or `webawesome`), name, description, recommendation, direct `uses` dependencies, existing documentation path, and demo-source path; first-party, recipe, and Web Awesome renderer maps are exhaustively typed against its generated id unions. Non-supported Web Awesome recommendations project to a visible `Discouraged` sidebar tag, with Popup as the deliberate conditional exception. Demo paths resolve to the matching `ui/ux-demo/demos/<id>.tsx` or `ui/ux-demo/recipes/*.tsx` file, or to `ui/ux-demo/webawesome-demos.tsx` for Web Awesome entries. `ui/ux-demo/main.tsx` owns only the catalog shell, shared state, routing, and interaction wiring. First-party component entries additionally derive `ui/src/<public-subpath>.tsx` from their canonical `delivery.browserImport` or opt-in `delivery.moduleImport`.

Functional groups follow their authored importance order; components precede compositions inside each group, equal-importance entries use alphabetical order, and the Recipes group comes last. Composition names stay concise and project a visible `Composition` sidebar tag. Non-supported Web Awesome recommendations project to a visible `Discouraged` tag, with Popup as the deliberate conditional exception. Demo paths resolve to the matching `ui/ux-demo/demos/<id>.tsx` or `ui/ux-demo/recipes/*.tsx` file, or to `ui/ux-demo/webawesome-demos.tsx` for Web Awesome entries. `ui/ux-demo/main.tsx` owns only the catalog shell, shared state, routing, and interaction wiring. First-party component entries additionally derive `ui/src/<public-subpath>.tsx` from their canonical `delivery.browserImport` or opt-in `delivery.moduleImport`.
 - Every detail footer groups compact `Demo source` and `Guidance` actions; first-party component details also expose `Component source`. Web Awesome details say `Integration guidance` to distinguish the local integration contract from the upstream component implementation. Each button retains its repository-relative path in the DOM for verification and uses a deploy-safe absolute GitHub blob URL with a contextual new-tab name; the demo does not depend on a local source server or add a package runtime export. At phone widths, the resource group and related-component selector stack as full-width rows, with any resource overflow contained locally so labels cannot overlap the selector or widen the document.
 - The master/detail shell groups first-party routes by category with production `ListHeader` and `ListItem` components. Catalog entries can supply short reusable trailing tags; the Web Awesome projection uses them to label exactly the 15 discouraged choices. The 70 ecosystem components live in a separate `Web Awesome` disclosure with seven subgroups, so they remain discoverable without being presented as first-class `@kerfjs/ui` exports. Direct Web Awesome routes open the disclosure and reveal the selected row at wide sizes; narrow layouts keep the expanded list in document flow rather than introducing a competing nested scroller.
-- The shell itself uses `@kerfjs/ui/layout.css`: sidebars, details, previews, dialogs, and resize specimens share unpadded panes plus self-contained content items. Its sidebar identity uses the Kerf logo beside a vertically centered title, with supporting copy in its own aligned row; the current-view heading is also a toolbar. Collapsing the catalog removes the pane completely and moves its restore action to the main toolbar's leading edge instead of leaving an icon-only rail. The selected view description remains inset below the page toolbar. The checkerboard belongs to the complete scrollable preview region rather than a nested card. A lightly separated footer keeps live status above compact source, guidance, and relationship groups. The focused `ResizableRegion` specimen stretches its surface through the available stage height and reports committed width in that shared status footer; narrow layouts retain local horizontal access when the pane is resized wider than the stage, and the split remains readable at 200% root scaling. Geometry coverage checks wide, intermediate, narrow, and 200% zoom layouts.

 - The composer-form recipe demonstrates one coherent visible form surface with toolbar title/supporting-copy hierarchy, fields and actions on the shared 8px control gutter, and 24px major rhythm. Its conditional error or success `StateBanner` is the only nested semantic surface. Reset synchronizes the upgraded Web Awesome fields' live value properties with their empty controlled attributes and announces `Draft reset`; browser coverage preserves behavior and verifies wide, narrow, dark, validation, success, reset, 200% zoom, and forced-colors states.
 - The list-detail dialog recipe places its header directly on the dialog edge while preserving the header's internal inset, gives the selected project title the complete outer-plus-inner content gutter, lets the value table fill the available detail column between the shared outer margins, and keeps record actions on one outer gutter without an extra content-item inset. Browser geometry coverage protects those relationships at wide and narrow widths.
 - Catalog-only brand marks, preview dimensions, checkerboard tiles, and the compound display-settings control retain local geometry because they are specimen chrome or intrinsic control anatomy rather than reusable application spacing roles.
