 ## Using the library
 
+This package is published to two registries under two names: `@signal9/era-ui` on npm (used throughout these docs) and `@sig-nine/era-ui` on GitHub Packages, where the scope must match the repo owner. Same code, same versions — pick the one your registry serves and keep the scope consistent.

 **One entry point per component.** There is no barrel that re-exports everything — importing a component can never drag in another one, or another one's dependencies.

These could not exist before the ladder was renamed: the old rungs were sm/md/lg, and Tailwind's container scale already owns min-w-md and min-w-lg, so the names collided and every call site had to write min-w-(--era-h-control) by hand. icon/pill/chip/control/bar collide with nothing.

+The spacing names (`gutter`, `card`, `panel`, `content`, `menu`, `field`, the

+Tailwind spacing scale, so every prefix derives automatically: `p-`, `px-`,
+`pt-`, `mt-`, `gap-`, `gap-x-`, `inset-`, `translate-`, and the rest. The TIER
+names (`icon`, `pill`, `chip`, `control`, `bar`) are heights, not spacing, so
+they are registered per prefix instead — `h-`, `w-`, `min-h-`, `min-w-` and
+`size-` — and the two vocabularies deliberately share no word. Putting a tier
+in the spacing scale would silently make `px-control` mean 24px of padding.

+**Use it for:** on a native single-line <input> (or the text layer that must mirror one) inside a fixed-height field — never alongside era-text-trim.
+
+The EDITABLE counterpart of era-text-trim — for native <input>s, which the
+trim is forbidden on (it collapses the UA's inner editor box and slices the
+glyphs; see typography/collapsed-text-trim).
+
+Without help, a tier-height input centres its text by FONT BOX, and the ui
+stacks' font box is deeply asymmetric: ascent ≈1.07em against descent
+≈0.29em. Centring that box parks the visible band (caps, x-height) ~0.115em
+LOW — so a field's text sat visibly below the trimmed label beside it.
+
+The value is OPTICAL, not the derivation's: pure x-band centring computes
+to ~0.23em of padding, but pixel-measured against real Title-Case text it
+over-lifts — the eye weighs the cap-to-baseline mass, which x-band
+centring parks ~2px high (caps 2.75px off the top against 5.7px of air
+under the baseline, measured at dense). 0.08em splits the difference
+between the x-band ideal and the cap-band ideal, landing caps ~3.7px in an
+18px field with ~4.7px under the baseline — the reading where neither
+band's partisans win and neither complains.
 
-**Use it for:** the ink centring for a token pill — a badge, a KV value, any short caps-or-digits label in a fixed-height box; it needs no icon sibling (with one the box must stay flex, and the general trim applies).
+The lift is padding, not a translateY: an icon-less Input paints the field
+chrome itself, and a transform would drag the field along with the ink.
+padding-bottom shrinks the content box from below, and a single-line input
+re-centres its line box in what remains — the ink rises by exactly half the
+padding, the chrome doesn't move, and the caret and selection follow the
+text. In em on purpose: the correction is a fraction of the type, so it
+holds across every density and text size with one value.

+## era-label-ink
+
+**Use it for:** the ink centring for a fixed-height control holding ONE line of sentence-case text and no icon — a menu item, a nav trigger, a button label. Never alongside `truncate` (the trimmed box becomes the clip).
+
+LABEL INK — era-token-ink's mixed-case sibling, and the general answer to
+"this fixed-height control holds one line of text".
+
+Same mechanism, same reason: `text-box-trim` needs a BLOCK box, so the row
+becomes one and `align-content` (block-container alignment) does the
+centring. What differs is the band and the alignment, because the content
+class differs — a label is sentence case, so the x-height band is the visual
+mass to centre (cap-band reads low on "System"), and it is laid out against
+the row's padding rather than centred in it.
+
+WHY IT EXISTS AT ALL: era's controls are flex, and a flex container's bare
+text is an ANONYMOUS flex item — a box no selector reaches and no
+non-inherited property touches. So `era-text-trim` on a flex row is inert,
+contributing only its `line-height: 1`, and the ink falls back to line-box
+centring by font metrics. era-token-ink already fixed that for centred
+tokens; this fixes it for everything else.
+
+THE ICON CASE IS NOT SOLVED, and cannot be from CSS: an icon beside the text
+needs the box to stay flex, which re-creates the anonymous item. A component
+whose children are an opaque slot therefore guards it —
+`not-has-[svg]:era-label-ink` — and ink-centres the text-only case while
+leaving the icon case on line-box centring. Splitting icon and label into
+separate slots is what would close it; typography/inert-trim reports every
+site still on the fallback.

+## p-section
+
+**Use it for:** padding for a content panel that sits UNDER a section header row — the even-padding exception, and the reason it is not called p-section: it deliberately under-pays the block start. For an evenly padded content panel use p-section, which is the plain token.
+
+A content panel always follows a section header ROW, and that row already
+contributes its own slack: the heading's text sits in an h-bar bar, so there
+is (h-bar − text)/2 of empty bar under its glyphs before the panel even
+starts. Padding the panel evenly on top of that spends the space twice — the
+header ends up floating between the section above and the paragraph it
+introduces rather than binding to it.
+
+So the block-start pays only the REMAINDER. The target is the indent: the
+space under a heading should measure the same as the space beside the text,
+which is --era-pad-content. The header row already supplies (h-bar − text)/2 of
+it, so the panel adds what's left, and heading-to-paragraph reads equal to
+the paragraph's own inset. Subtracting one --era-gap (the previous rule) left
+the header's slack unaccounted for and the heading still detached.
 
-**Use it for:** text-symmetric content padding — (tier − text)/2, the inset that vertically centers body text in its tier; px-inset-control is a text button's side padding, p-inset-control a code block's.
+Both terms are density-derived, so the equality holds at every mode; the
+max() is the floor for a hypothetical mode where the row's slack would
+exceed the inset outright.
