+# mockpit topic: system
+
+A project's **system** is what every one of its renders wears: a shared stylesheet, typed
+tokens, type and space scales, colour palettes, project knobs and checks. You write it with
+`system`; it applies at once to every design (the user sees a note and can restore), and
+every version records the revision it was published under. Mockpit picks no look and does
+no colour science: you generate, it expands scales, computes contrast and checks.
+
+## Reading and writing
+
+```sh
+mockpit system                                   # the whole system, its checks, revisions
+mockpit system --sheet kit.css --classes '[{"name":"kc","note":"card: padded, raised"}]'
+mockpit system --tokens '[{"name":"radius-card","type":"dimension","value":"14px"}]'
+mockpit system --restore 6                       # back to revision 6 (a new revision)
+```
+
+MCP `system({...})`, HTTP `GET`/`PUT /api/projects/<name>/system`. Each part you send
+replaces that part and leaves the rest; `tokens`, `scales` and `palettes` are upserted by
+name or id, and `remove: {tokens, palettes, scales}` takes them out. The result is
+`{rev, changed, checks, nudges, url, feedback}`.
+
+| argument   | shape                                                                          |
+| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `sheet`    | CSS text (CLI and stdio: a path). No `@import`; at most 128 KB                 |
+| `classes`  | `[{name, note}]`: the sheet's classes the brief lists, one line each           |
+| `fonts`    | `[{family, href?}]`: `href` a stylesheet on the CDN allowlist (Google Fonts)   |
+| `tokens`   | `[{name, type, value, note?}]`                                                 |
+| `scales`   | `[{id, family, prefix, steps, zero, base, ratio, fluid?}]`                     |
+| `roles`    | `[{name, note}]`: the colour names every palette values                        |
+| `palettes` | `[{id, label, note, light: {role: colour}, dark: {…}, scheme?, status?}]`      |
+| `pairs`    | `[[fg, bg, min]]`: contrast to clear, WCAG 2.2 (4.5 text, 3 large text and UI) |
+| `as`       | `{"color-text-primary": "ink", …}`: points mockpit's own tokens at your roles  |
+| `knobs`    | project knobs, the usual knob shapes; a path no design of the project uses     |
+| `remove`   | `{tokens?, palettes?, scales?}`: names to take out                             |
+| `restore`  | a revision number, alone; what the user decided stays (`kept` says what)       |
+
+Names are lowercase (`^[a-z][a-z0-9-]{0,47}$`) and become custom properties: token `radius-card`
+is `var(--radius-card)`. `k-` is reserved for knobs, and mockpit's own `--color-*` names are
+taken. A name has one owner: a token (a `text` token owns each `--<name>-<field>`), a role, a
+scale step, or the repo, for every name its own blocks declare. A write that gives a name a
+second owner fails and names both. A palette values roles: it can't set a mockpit token, a
+`k-` name, or a name a non-colour token or a scale step owns.
+
+## Tokens
+
+Types: `color`, `dimension`, `font`, `weight`, `number`, `shadow`, `duration`, `easing`, and
+`text`, whose value is `{font, size, line, weight, tracking}` and becomes `--<name>-size` and so on.
+Values are plain CSS values: no `url()`, no `;`.
+
+## Scales
+
+A scale expands into tokens on write. `base` is px at step `zero`, each step up multiplies by
+`ratio`. `fluid: {minWidth, maxWidth, maxBase, maxRatio}` makes each step a `clamp()` from the
+fixed size at `minWidth` to `maxBase × maxRatio^n` at `maxWidth`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "type",
+  "family": "type",
+  "prefix": "step",
+  "steps": ["sm", "base", "lg", "xl", "2xl"],
+  "zero": "base",
+  "base": 16,
+  "ratio": 1.2,
+  "fluid": { "minWidth": 360, "maxWidth": 1280, "maxBase": 18, "maxRatio": 1.25 }
+}
+```
+
+gives `--step-sm` … `--step-2xl`. Pick a prefix nothing else uses: in a Tailwind repo `text-`,
+`spacing-` and the other theme namespaces are Tailwind's. A fluid type step whose largest size is past 2.5× its
+smallest fails 200% zoom (WCAG 1.4.4), and the write says so.
+
+## Palettes
+
+Roles are the project's colour names (`bg`, `ink`, `acc`), declared once with a note; each
+palette values every role in light and dark. One palette is `default`; a frame wears it unless
+the viewer's palette switcher picks another. A palette dark in both modes says
+`scheme: {light: "dark", dark: "dark"}`. Statuses: `default`, `kept`, `open`, `hidden`.
+
+The user chooses through a question whose options carry `palette: "<id>"` (scope `design` or
+`state`, no variant): each answer is pictured as the same render in that palette, and the one
+sent becomes the default, the old default kept. Keep and Hide on an answer keep or hide that
+palette. Mappings between roles (`--c-go: var(--acc2)`) are a decision, not palette data: put
+them in an answer's `style`.
+
+```sh
+mockpit ask --design today "Which palette?" --option Lilac=palette:lilac --option Grape=palette:grape
+```
+
+## Project knobs
+
+`knobs` declares knobs every render of the project carries (`data-k-*` and `--k-*` on
+`<html>`), with the value the user settled or the knob's own. A path is one owner's: a
+design can't declare a project knob's path, and a project knob can't take a design's. An
+option's `set` on a project knob settles it for the whole project when sent; `style` beside
+a `set` of a new value is stored on the system, so every design wears it. Asking again with
+the same value and a new `style` revises what the value draws (the write says so); the
+value's name never changes. Design knobs' answer styles revise the same way.
+
+## The user's own changes
+
+On the System page the user can make a palette the default, keep or hide one, or restore a
+revision. Each is a new revision and reaches you as a feedback batch with no design:
+`{project, system: {rev, changes}}`. Build on it. A Send that decided something for the
+project says so in its batch's `system`.
+
+Your `restore` brings a revision back but leaves what the user decided standing: every
+palette's status, the settled project knobs, and the knobs and answer styles those values need.
+The result's `kept` lists it. Only the user's own Restore brings back everything.
+
+## How a frame wears it
+
+New versions render with cascade layers: `@layer mockpit, kit, system`. Mockpit's base and
+the kits sit below the sheet, and the tokens and your page are unlayered, so a page rule beats
+a sheet rule at plain specificity, and an embedded component needs no copy of the kit. With the
+`tailwind` kit the order is `theme, base, mockpit, kit, system, components, utilities`: preflight
+sits under the sheet, and a utility on an element still beats a sheet rule, as in the repo.
+`!important` inside a layer inverts that: keep it out of the sheet. `<html>` carries
+`data-palette`, `data-scheme`, and the project knobs' `data-k-*` and `--k-*`.
+
+## The layout kit
+
+`kits: ["layout"]` adds composition classes that only place boxes: `l-stack`, `l-box`,
+`l-center`, `l-cluster`, `l-sidebar` (`.end` puts the side last), `l-switcher`, `l-cover`
+(its `.main` child centred), `l-grid`, `l-frame`, `l-reel`, `l-imposter`, `l-icon`,
+`l-with-icon`. Every gap is `--space`, defaulting to the base step of the space scale; set
+another on the element: `style="--space: var(--space-l)"`. Each takes its measure the same
+way (`--measure`, `--side`, `--threshold`, `--min`, `--ratio`, `--item`). `--space`,
+`--measure`, `--side`, `--threshold`, `--min` and `--item` don't inherit: a layout nested in
+another starts from the defaults, so set them on the element they're for. A cover is at most
+50rem tall in a frame (`--min-height` to change it): the frame is sized from its content.
+
+## Export
+
+`export` without a design hands the system to code: `sheet`, `css` (constants, the default
+palette on `:root`, each kept one under `[data-palette="<id>"]`, dark by media query),
+`tokens` (the same as data), `knobs` (the project knobs' values), `additions` (the CSS an
+answer brought for a settled value, keyed on `data-k-<path>`) and `components` with their
+`source`. `mockpit export` writes them to `.mockpit/system/`. What the repo owns is left
+out: it is in the code already. `read` without a design carries a one-line `system`.
+
+## Checks
+
+A `system` write checks contrast for every pair in every palette and mode (a value that isn't
+hex, rgb, hsl, oklch or oklab is listed as unchecked, never passed), palettes missing a role,
+pairs naming unknown tokens, `var(--…)` in the sheet that nothing declares, indexed classes
+the sheet doesn't define, `!important` in the sheet, and fluid type past 2.5×. A `publish`
+and an answer's `style` are checked against the system: colour literals, a system name
+redeclared, a sheet rule copied into the page, and font sizes or spacing off the scales.
+They come back as `nudges`; none blocks.
+
+## The repo's own
+
+What `mockpit init` reads is the repo's: its `:root` and `.dark` colours become roles and the
+`repo` palette, constant colours and Tailwind theme values become typed tokens, marked
+`owner: "repo"`. A `system` write can't change them: change the code and rerun `init`.
