-**Two halves.** (1) `public/input.css` MAPS token names into Tailwind with `@theme inline` (`--color-background: var(--background)`), so `bg-background` resolves to `var(--background)`.

That is your palette; make it your own, by editing the block or with `npx webjsdev ui init --preset <code>` (a code from webjs.dev/ui/create), which replaces it. The scaffold writes its gallery palette there, and a cleared app keeps it. **Never redefine a theme token in the root layout**: a `<style>` there comes after the stylesheet, so it wins, and every later preset or block edit silently stops showing. Tokens your app adds itself go AFTER the block's end marker, where a preset leaves them alone.

Verify dark mode in a real browser. Light mode passing proves nothing about dark.
 
 **Edge cases.** `light-dark()` is COLOUR-only. A colour needed in just one theme sets the unused side to a no-op (`light-dark(#fff, transparent)`). A derived token that references a `light-dark()` one (like `--primary-tint` above) tracks both themes automatically. A NON-colour token that must differ per theme (a shadow's geometry, a gradient, a size, an image) cannot use `light-dark()`; give it a `:root[data-theme='dark']` override plus an `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { :root:not([data-theme]) { ... } }` rule for the OS default.

 **Focus rings.** The design system applies ONE themed, keyboard-only focus ring globally in the theme CSS: `@layer base { * { @apply border-border outline-ring/50 } }` themes the outline COLOUR to `--ring/50`, and a `:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid color-mix(in oklab, var(--color-ring) 50%, transparent); outline-offset: 2px }` forces a SOLID outline. That second rule matters: `outline-ring/50` alone leaves `outline-style: auto`, so the browser draws its OWN focus ring (which can look thick and white and ignore the colour). So every focusable element (button, link, input) shares one `--ring`-coloured ring with no per-element styling (a native `<button>` renders it a touch wider than a link, a Chromium form-control quirk, but the colour is the same). Do NOT re-add a focus style on a light-DOM element (`buttonClass` deliberately carries none), and NEVER remove it (`outline: none` with no replacement fails WCAG 2.4.7). `:focus-visible` already limits the ring to keyboard / programmatic focus, not a mouse click. A SHADOW-DOM component is the ONE exception: a document rule cannot cross the shadow boundary, so it styles its own focus in `static styles`, matching the global ring EXACTLY (`--ring` at 50%, the same as `outline-ring/50`): `button:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid color-mix(in oklab, var(--color-ring) 50%, transparent); outline-offset: 2px }`. Without it, its controls fall back to the raw browser outline (thick, light on a dark theme, and shown on window-refocus).
 
+## A stylesheet for one section of the app
+
+When one part of the app has its own stylesheet (an admin area, a docs section, a component gallery), link it from THAT section's layout, as the first thing the layout renders, and leave the root layout alone:
+
+```ts
+// app/admin/layout.ts
+export default function AdminLayout({ children }: LayoutProps) {
+  return html`
+    <link rel="stylesheet" href=${asset('/public/admin.css')}>
+    <div class="admin-shell">${children}</div>
+  `;
+}
+```
+
+The server moves a `<link rel="stylesheet">` at the start of any layout's or page's output into `<head>`, after the root layout's own links, so it blocks first paint like a root stylesheet does (#1669). Comments and other `<link>` tags before it are fine; any other element ends the run, so a link further down stays where it is. A second link to a file the head already links is dropped, whether its href is written relative or absolute (a link with a different `media` is a different sheet, so a print copy and a screen copy are both kept). A page with a `loading.{js,ts}` boundary is the one exception: it streams in after the head is sent, so its own leading link is not hoisted; link that page's sheet from its layout instead. The hoisted link is marked with the layout that owns it, so when a soft navigation leaves the section the client router switches the sheet off, and switches it back on when the reader returns (see `references/client-router-and-streaming.md`). Do NOT also link the section's sheet from the root layout by pathname: the root layout is not re-rendered on a soft navigation, so that copy is never switched off and outlives the section.

 ## Light-DOM host display, and shadow hosts
 
 A custom element is `display: inline` in plain CSS, which collapses a component used as a block container to its content size. WebJs marks every LIGHT-DOM host `data-wj-host` and defaults it to `display: block` via one head rule in a low-priority cascade layer (`@layer webjs-host { :where([data-wj-host]) { display: block } }`), so a container component does not collapse. The layer keeps it overridable: any author style INCLUDING a Tailwind utility (`class="flex"`, `grid`, `hidden`) wins over it, and `[hidden]` still hides the host so `?hidden=${cond}` works. Opt into an inline light component with a tag-prefixed rule (`my-badge { display: inline }`).

 A `position: sticky` header (the common `sticky top-0` pattern) flickers its background for one frame on iOS WebKit (every iOS browser uses WebKit) during a client-router forward navigation. The router's scroll-to-top after the content swap drives a sticky recompute that WebKit mis-repaints. It is iOS-only (fine on desktop and Android, invisible in DevTools emulation), and neither compositor promotion (`translateZ(0)` / `will-change`) nor changing the swap paint timing fixes it. Preserving the header across nav is correct and standard, only the `sticky` positioning is the problem.
 
-The fix is `position: fixed`. A fixed header is always pinned and never does the scroll-relative recompute, so the repaint bug never fires. Because fixed leaves normal flow, reserve the header height on the content below with a single `--header-h` custom property (kept exact with a `ResizeObserver`, degrading fine with no JS):
+The fix is `position: fixed`. A fixed header is always pinned and never does the scroll-relative recompute, so the repaint bug never fires. Because fixed leaves normal flow, reserve the header height on the content below with a single `--header-h` custom property, and size the header BY that property:
 
 ```css
-:root  { --header-h: 56px; }              /* sane SSR first-paint default */
-header { position: fixed; inset-inline: 0; top: 0; }
+:root  { --header-h: 3.5rem; }
+header { position: fixed; inset-inline: 0; top: 0; height: var(--header-h); }
 body   { padding-top: var(--header-h); }
+html   { scroll-padding-top: var(--header-h); }  /* #anchor jumps stop below the header */
 ```
-```js
-const hdr = document.querySelector('header');
-const apply = () => document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--header-h', hdr.offsetHeight + 'px');
-apply();
-new ResizeObserver(apply).observe(hdr);
-```
 
-For a dashboard, an alternative is an app-shell scroll container (a non-scrolling `100dvh` flex column with `<main>` as the internal scroller), which needs no offset but changes the scroll model.
+The last line matters as soon as a page has in-page links: without it an `#anchor` jump, native or the client router's `scrollIntoView`, lands the target under the header. Next's app router reads the same `scroll-padding-top` when it scrolls a segment into view, and shadcn's site sets it from its header-height variable.
+
+With Tailwind, that is `class="fixed inset-x-0 top-0 h-[var(--header-h)]"` on the header. The scaffold's layout already carries the token and a `body:has(> header.fixed)` rule, so pinning its navbar is adding `fixed inset-x-0 top-0 z-20` and nothing else. Pinning from a breakpoint up works the same way: `md:fixed md:inset-x-0 md:top-0` pins it on wider screens only, because `public/input.css` carries a matching rule for each default breakpoint written with Tailwind's `@variant`, so it follows the app's own `--breakpoint-*` values. A breakpoint added under a new name needs its own line beside them.
+
+**Do not measure the header with JavaScript.** The tempting version, a `<head>` script that writes `offsetHeight` into `--header-h` from a `ResizeObserver`, breaks on a client-router swap that replaces the header (a layout refresh, a form action that re-renders the layouts): the observer fires for the detached old node, reads a height of 0, and the content slides under the navbar with no way back short of a reload. The head script never re-runs, so nothing re-measures. A token the header is sized by cannot drift, because there is nothing to keep in sync.
+
+A header whose height changes by breakpoint sets the token per breakpoint (`@media (min-width: 768px) { :root { --header-h: 4rem } }`). A header that genuinely wraps to an unknown height belongs in an app-shell scroll container instead: a non-scrolling `100dvh` flex column with `<main>` as the internal scroller, which needs no offset at all but changes the scroll model.

+## Blocks and charts: install a view, do not write one
+
+**Rule: before hand-writing a login or signup page, an app sidebar shell, a

+one.** A block is a ready-made view you install and then edit. Its files land
+in your app as code you own, so you spend your effort on the app instead of
+regenerating a page shell.
+
+- **Find one.** The MCP `ui` tool with no args lists the block and chart NAMES
+  grouped by category; `{ type: "block" }` or `{ category: "login" }` adds a
+  one-line description each. On the CLI, `npx webjsdev ui list --type block`
+  (or `--category login`, and `--json` for a compact array).
+- **See what it installs.** `ui { name: "login-03" }` (MCP) or
+  `npx webjsdev ui view login-03 --files-only` returns the description, the
+  components it depends on, the install command, and every file with the path
+  it lands at (`app/login/page.ts`, `components/login-form.ts`). Ask for the
+  sources only if you need them before installing (`source: true`, or `view`
+  without `--files-only`); installing and reading the files is cheaper.
+- **Install it.** `npx webjsdev ui add login-03`. It writes each file to its
+  target, installs the components it uses, rewrites every import to your
+  aliases, and adds any design tokens it needs that your stylesheet lacks. A
+  file that already exists is kept unless you pass `--overwrite`, and the
+  command lists what it wrote.
+- **Then edit it.** Rename the route, change the copy, and wire the form: a
+  block's form has no `action`, so bind your `'use server'` action
+  (`<form action=${signIn}>`) as `references/data-and-actions.md` describes.
