+
+`@kerfjs/ui:spacer` · Kerf UI · component · Structure
+
+A decorative, non-shrinking fixed gap or flexible main-axis spacer with typed physical width and height.
+
+## When to use
+
+Express an intentional empty dimension or consume remaining flex space without application-owned spacer markup or raw CSS lengths.
+
+- Reserve a fixed empty width or height from the UI spacing scale inside a layout.
+- Push siblings to opposite ends of a Row or other flex container by passing flex.
+- Use a typed CssLength when the finite spacing scale cannot express the required dimension.
+
+**Not when:**
+
+- Do not use Spacer for ordinary rhythm between siblings; prefer Row.gap or List.gap so the parent owns repeated spacing.
+- Do not use Spacer to compensate for component-owned padding, margin, alignment, or responsive layout defects.
+- Do not pass raw CSS strings to width or height.
+
+**Alternatives:**
+
+- [Row](./row.md) (parent-spacing-alternative) — Use Row.gap when every horizontal sibling needs the same repeated separation.
+- [List](./list.md) (parent-spacing-alternative) — Use List.gap when every vertical sibling needs the same repeated separation.
+
+## Imports
+
+- JavaScript: `@kerfjs/ui/spacer` — exports `Spacer`.
+- CSS: the browser build of `@kerfjs/ui/spacer` pulls its CSS automatically; import `@kerfjs/ui/spacer.css` manually only without the `browser` export condition.
+- Declared side effects: browser-condition-css.
+
+## Props
+
+Exact prop names and types: [`@kerfjs/ui/spacer`](../public-api-signatures-v1.md#kerfjsuispacer) in `public-api-signatures-v1.md`. Do not infer props from examples.
+
+**Variants (configure, do not restyle):**
+
+- fixed named width and/or height
+- fixed typed CssLength width and/or height
+- flexible main-axis space
+
+**CSS-value props** (typed builders from `@kerfjs/ui/css-values`; raw CSS strings are rejected):
+
+- `width`: length grammar; raw values: forbid; shorthands `none`, `2xs`, `xs`, `m`, `l`; exceptional (justify) `s`, `xl`; helpers `px`, `rem`, `em`, `pct`, `space`, `lengthVar`, `calc` — e.g. `width="m"`
+- `height`: length grammar; raw values: forbid; shorthands `none`, `2xs`, `xs`, `m`, `l`; exceptional (justify) `s`, `xl`; helpers `px`, `rem`, `em`, `pct`, `space`, `lengthVar`, `calc` — e.g. `height="xs"`
+
+## Composition
+
+- Parents: any.
+- Contexts: `application-ui`.
+- Children: unrestricted.
+
+## State and wiring
+
+**The app owns:** whether the empty space carries structural meaning; the named or typed dimensions; whether the spacer fills the flex main axis.
+
+No wiring helper.
+
+## Geometry
+
+Margin: none · border: none · padding: none (layout role: structure). `self` means the component already owns it — do not add wrapper padding, margin, or borders around it.
+
+- A fixed Spacer does not shrink. flex changes its flex shorthand from 0 0 auto to 1 1 auto; width and height remain physical dimensions.
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- Spacer is always decorative and hidden from the accessibility tree.
+- Spacer must not contain content or become an interaction target.
+
+## Styling boundary
+
+The component owns its own styles. Configure it through its props and variants; do not override its internals.
+
+Public class hooks (select for layout placement only, never to change the component's look): `kui-spacer`.
+
+Never put `kui-spacer` on an element you write; render `Spacer` instead (`KUI-L103`).
+
+Everything else is internal: `kerf-ui-analyze` reports private or unknown `.kui-*` selectors (`KUI-L001`, `KUI-L010`), unknown or private tokens (`KUI-L002`, `KUI-L012`), and any application rule that restyles the component, forced dimensions included (`KUI-L019`).

+
+`@kerfjs/ui:split-view` · Kerf UI · component · Structure
+
+A responsive list-detail layout that shows both panes on roomy device classes and collapses to a navigation stack on compact classes.
+
+## When to use
+
+Present a selectable list and its detail together when space permits, with a one-pane drill-down replacement on compact devices.
+
+- Selection in a primary list updates a related detail pane and both should remain visible on roomy device classes.
+- The same list-detail flow must become a navigation stack on a handset or portrait tablet.
+
+**Not when:**
+
+- Do not use SplitView for a single linear flow; use NavStack.
+- Do not use it for a complex desktop tool with multiple peripheral panels; use Workbench.
+
+**Alternatives:**
+
+- [Navigation stack](./recipe-navigation-stack.md) (responsive-alternative) — SplitView renders the one-pane navigation-stack form on compact device classes.
+- [Workbench](./workbench.md) (nearest) — Use Workbench when a desktop-class tool needs more than the list and detail regions.
+
+## Imports
+
+- JavaScript: `@kerfjs/ui/split-view` — exports `SplitView`, `SplitViewProps`, `SplitViewResizable`, `SplitViewCompactStack`, `SplitViewCompactViewToolbars`.
+- CSS: the browser build of `@kerfjs/ui/split-view` pulls its CSS automatically; import `@kerfjs/ui/split-view.css` manually only without the `browser` export condition.

+- Built from: [NavStack](./nav-stack.md), [ResizableRegion](./resize.md).
+
+Zones (a zone is bound to JSX only through its listed prop; never assume the zone id is a prop):
+
+- `list` — JSX prop `list`; accepts `list-region`; exactly 1.
+- `detail` — JSX prop `detail`; accepts `detail-region`; exactly 1.
+
+## State and wiring
+
+**The app owns:** device-class policy; selected item and detail-active state; list and detail content; optional list width and persistence; optional list collapse state and its restore control; compact list and detail toolbar groups, toolbar configuration, and chrome dividers; back action.
+
+**Wiring:** `wireResizableRegions`, `wireNavStack` is required.
+
+- Use wireNavStack as documented.
+
+**Wiring-owned state attributes** — never render, remove, or branch on these as app state:
+
+- `data-handle-inset` on `kui-resizable-region` (`wireResizableRegions`): Present while a clipping edge clamps the region: the handle and its focus ring sit inside the region instead of overhanging that edge.
+- `data-resizing` on `kui-resizable-region` (`wireResizableRegions`): "true" during an active pointer drag of the handle.
+- `data-nav-chrome-transition` on `kui-nav-stack` (`wireNavStack`): "true" while the chrome cross-fades between the outgoing and incoming view.
+- `data-nav-chrome-copy` on `kui-nav-stack__chrome-copy` (`wireNavStack`): Marks the inert, aria-hidden snapshot of the outgoing chrome shown during the cross-fade.
+- `data-nav-exiting` on `kui-nav-stack__view` (`wireNavStack`): "true" on a popped view the helper briefly re-inserts to slide it out.
+
+## Geometry
+
+Margin: none · border: self · padding: child (layout role: structure). `self` means the component already owns it — do not add wrapper padding, margin, or borders around it.
+
+- The root owns the two-column split and the list pane owns its separator; list and detail content own their internal padding and scroll behavior.
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- Give the overall split and both meaningful panes accessible labels.
+- Wire the compact back action and optional separator keyboard behavior, and restore focus when controlled navigation replaces a view.

+- `tabs` — JSX prop `children`; accepts [AppTab](./tabs.md); at least 1.
+- `leading` — JSX prop `leading`; accepts [ToolbarControlGroup](./toolbar-control-group.md); 0–1.
+- `trailing` — JSX prop `trailing`; accepts [ToolbarControlGroup](./toolbar-control-group.md), [Button](./wa-button.md); 0–1.
+- `end` — JSX prop `end`; accepts [ToolbarControlGroup](./toolbar-control-group.md), [Button](./wa-button.md); 0–1.
+
+## State and wiring
+
+- selected-tab — controlled (required)
+
+**Wiring:** `wireTabBars`, `wireScrollDividers` is required.
+
+- Retain and invoke the disposer.
+- Apply onReorder to application-owned order.
+
+**Wiring-owned state attributes** — never render, remove, or branch on these as app state:
+
+- `data-tab-dragging` on `AppTab (data-component="app-tab")` (`wireTabBars`): "true" on the tab being dragged.
+- `data-tab-drop-position` on `AppTab (data-component="app-tab")` (`wireTabBars`): "before" or "after" on the tab under the pointer: where the dragged tab would land.
+- `data-tab-autoscroll` on `kui-tab-bar__tabs` (`wireTabBars`): "start" or "end" while a drag near that edge auto-scrolls the strip.
+- `data-scroll-overflow` on `kui-tab-bar__tabs` (`wireScrollDividers`): The physical edges, in canonical t/r/b/l order, beyond which content is scrolled out of view; absent when nothing is hidden (content that fits never reports its far edges). Re-applied if a re-render drops it.
+- `data-scroll-divider` on `chrome named in wireScrollDividers targets (a TabBar strip has none)` (`wireScrollDividers`): The sides, in t/r/b/l order, on which that chrome currently draws its scroll divider. Re-applied if a re-render drops it.
+
+## Geometry
+
+Margin: none · border: self · padding: self (layout role: navigation). `self` means the component already owns it — do not add wrapper padding, margin, or borders around it.
+
+- TabBar owns inline flex allocation: tabs shrink and scroll, an adjacent trailing action follows the tab strip, and the end action stays pinned at the far edge; leading, trailing, and end actions do not shrink.
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- Each tab controls a matching tabpanel.
+- Selection and focus behavior follow the configured activation mode.
+
+## Styling boundary
+
+The component owns its own styles. Configure it through its props and variants; do not override its internals.
+
+Public class hooks (select for layout placement only, never to change the component's look): `kui-tab-bar`, `kui-tab-bar__leading`, `kui-tab-bar__tabs`, `kui-tab-bar__trailing`, `kui-tab-bar__end`.
+
+Never put `kui-tab-bar`, `kui-tab-bar__leading`, `kui-tab-bar__tabs`, `kui-tab-bar__trailing`, `kui-tab-bar__end` on an element you write; render `TabBar` instead (`KUI-L103`).
+
+Public tokens it reads: `--kui-tab-bar-background`, `--kui-tab-bar-border`, `--kui-tab-bar-divider-color`, `--kui-tab-bar-strip-background`, `--kui-tab-bar-strip-border-width`, `--kui-tab-bar-strip-flex`, `--kui-tab-bar-strip-gap`, `--kui-tab-bar-strip-margin-block`, `--kui-tab-bar-strip-min-height`, `--kui-tab-bar-strip-overflow-block`, `--kui-tab-bar-strip-padding`, `--kui-tab-bar-strip-radius`, `--kui-tab-bar-strip-scroll-padding-inline`, `--kui-tab-bar-trailing-flex`. Set a token only where its public contract allows; prefer a prop.
+
+Everything else is internal: `kerf-ui-analyze` reports private or unknown `.kui-*` selectors (`KUI-L001`, `KUI-L010`), unknown or private tokens (`KUI-L002`, `KUI-L012`), and any application rule that restyles the component, forced dimensions included (`KUI-L019`).
+
+## Diagnostics
+
+- `KUI-C104` (error) when wireTabBars is absent: TabBar requires wireTabBars for keyboard and reorder behavior.

+

+
+`@kerfjs/ui:tab-scaffold` · Kerf UI · component · Structure
+
+A controlled compact-device bottom tab scaffold that keeps every tab scene mounted so its navigation and scroll state survive selection changes.
+
+## When to use
+
+Switch among two to five co-equal top-level destinations on compact devices while preserving each destination's independent content state.
+
+- A handset or portrait-tablet app has two to five co-equal top-level destinations.
+- Each destination must stay mounted so its NavStack and scroll position survive tab switches.
+
+**Not when:**
+
+- Do not use TabScaffold for document tabs or reorderable work items; use TabBar.
+- Do not retain the bottom bar on desktop when the same destinations should be promoted to a Workbench rail or sidebar.
+
+**Alternatives:**
+
+- [AppTab](./tabs.md) (semantic-alternative) — Use TabBar and AppTab for document-style tabpanels, overflow, closing, or reordering.
+- [Workbench](./workbench.md) (roomy-alternative) — Promote top-level destinations to a rail or sidebar on desktop-class layouts.
+
+## Imports
+
+- JavaScript: `@kerfjs/ui/tab-scaffold` — exports `TabScaffoldTab`, `TabScaffoldProps`, `TabScaffold`.
+- CSS: the browser build of `@kerfjs/ui/tab-scaffold` pulls its CSS automatically; import `@kerfjs/ui/tab-scaffold.css` manually only without the `browser` export condition.
+- Wiring: `wireTabScaffold` from `@kerfjs/ui/wire-tab-scaffold` (required).
+- Wiring: `wireScrollDividers` from `@kerfjs/ui/wire-scroll-dividers` (optional).
+- Declared side effects: browser-condition-css.
+
+## Props
+
+Exact prop names and types: [`@kerfjs/ui/tab-scaffold`](../public-api-signatures-v1.md#kerfjsuitab-scaffold), [`@kerfjs/ui/wire-tab-scaffold`](../public-api-signatures-v1.md#kerfjsuiwire-tab-scaffold), [`@kerfjs/ui/wire-scroll-dividers`](../public-api-signatures-v1.md#kerfjsuiwire-scroll-dividers) in `public-api-signatures-v1.md`. Do not infer props from examples.
+
+**Variants (configure, do not restyle):**
+
+- text-only tabs
+- icon and text tabs
+- badged tabs (count or text-free dot)
+- one NavStack per tab
+- bar divider only while the active scene continues below it (wired by wireScrollDividers)
+- permanent or no bar divider (chromeDividers always or none)
+
+## Composition
+
+- Parents: any.
+- Contexts: `application-ui`.
+- Children: unrestricted.
+- Built from: [Badge](./badge.md).
+
+## State and wiring
+
+**The app owns:** controlled active tab id; tab labels, icons, and content; tab badge counts or dots and their localized badgeLabel phrases; routing and persistence; responsive replacement on larger device classes; whether the bar divider follows the scroll, always shows, or never shows (chromeDividers).
+
+**Wiring:** `wireTabScaffold`, `wireScrollDividers` is required.
+
+- Use wireTabScaffold as documented.
+
+**Wiring-owned state attributes** — never render, remove, or branch on these as app state:
+
+- `data-scroll-overflow` on `the active kui-tab-scaffold__scene, or what scrolls inside it (a sole NavStack's active view or a sole Pane's content)` (`wireScrollDividers`): The physical edges, in canonical t/r/b/l order, beyond which content is scrolled out of view; absent when nothing is hidden (content that fits never reports its far edges). Re-applied if a re-render drops it.
+- `data-scroll-divider` on `kui-tab-scaffold__bar` (`wireScrollDividers`): The sides, in t/r/b/l order, on which this chrome currently draws its scroll divider: the side facing the scroller while content is hidden beyond it. Re-applied if a re-render drops it.
+
+## Geometry
+
+Margin: none · border: conditional · padding: self (layout role: structure). `self` means the component already owns it — do not add wrapper padding, margin, or borders around it.
+
+- The scaffold owns the full-height scene region and safe-area-aware bottom bar; scene content owns its internal geometry.
+- The bar's top line is scroll state (wireScrollDividers): it shows only while the active scene's content continues below the bar, by coloring the bar's always-present 1px top border.
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- Give the tablist an accessible label and keep exactly the active tab in the sequential focus order.
+- Wire selection through the controlled active id while leaving inactive scenes mounted and hidden.
+- A tab badge is aria-hidden; supply badgeLabel so the tab's accessible name becomes "\<label>, \<badgeLabel>" (it defaults to the badge text). The dot form, badge: true, has no text, so its badgeLabel is required.
+
+## Styling boundary
+
+The component owns its own styles. Configure it through its props and variants; do not override its internals.
+
+Public class hooks (select for layout placement only, never to change the component's look): `kui-tab-scaffold`, `kui-tab-scaffold__scenes`, `kui-tab-scaffold__scene`, `kui-tab-scaffold__bar`, `kui-tab-scaffold__tab`, `kui-tab-scaffold__tab-icon`, `kui-tab-scaffold__tab-badge`, `kui-tab-scaffold__tab-label`.
+
+Never put `kui-tab-scaffold`, `kui-tab-scaffold__scenes`, `kui-tab-scaffold__scene`, `kui-tab-scaffold__bar`, `kui-tab-scaffold__tab`, `kui-tab-scaffold__tab-icon`, `kui-tab-scaffold__tab-badge`, `kui-tab-scaffold__tab-label` on an element you write; render `TabScaffold` instead (`KUI-L103`).
