+# Changelog
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-11-11
+
+The first release.
+
+### Added
+
+- **A menu button in the shell's top bar.** Wide, it folds the sidebar to a rail and back, and the reader's choice is remembered and restored before first paint. Below 48em it opens the sidebar as a panel from the start edge, closed by Escape or a click outside. `aria-expanded` holds the state. Asked for by the first outside adopter ([notes/issues/03](notes/issues/03-analytics-requests.md)), like the fixes below marked *(adopter)*.
+- **Image logos in the brand.** A `brand_mark` holding an `<img>` or `<svg>` drops the coloured tile. *(adopter)*
+- **Tabular numerals** in table cells and `.ads-metric`, so figures line up whatever the font. *(adopter)*
+- **Figures:** `ads-band` (a row of headline figures divided by hairlines, items optionally `aria-pressed` buttons), `ads-change` (a toned delta with an arrow, `--up` or `--down`) and `ads-share` (a row's share as a pale fill, through `--share`). *(adopter)*
+- **Four knobs.** `--ads-label-case` and `--ads-label-tracking` set the small labels (table headers, pretitles, nav sections and the rest) for a sentence-case brand. `--ads-font-figures` gives `.ads-metric` a separate face. `--ads-page-contrast` sets how far the page ground stands back from the surfaces on it, 0 for a flat look. *(adopter)*
+- **Tables:** `ads-table--nowrap` keeps cells on one line, and `ads-col--secondary` and `ads-col--tertiary` drop columns when the table's wrapper is under 40rem and 30rem. A small button in a compact row no longer makes the row taller. *(adopter)*
+- **`ads-list--columns`**, a list whose rows are subgrids of it, so cells line up across rows. *(adopter)*
+- **Nav entries without an icon:** an entry can name an `image`. One with neither shows the label's initial in the folded rail. *(adopter)*
+- **Documentation** for the figure components, sparklines, uptime strips, legends and the inline-SVG chart pattern, and the Python floor on the install page. *(adopter)*
+- **`ads-split--fill`**, the inbox shape: each pane scrolls by itself and the page does not, with the shell bounding the main column whenever a page contains one. It fills only with room both ways (a container query in `rem`, so 200% text counts, and a minimum viewport height), and is an ordinary split otherwise, so reflow holds. From the first port of a real application ([notes/issues/02](notes/issues/02-a-mail-client-asks-for-three-things.md)).
+- **`ads-media`**, a figure beside a block of text, aligned to the top and never wrapping: a mail row, a notification, a comment.
+- **`ads-btn--mark`**, a toggle that marks the thing it sits on: a star, a flag, a pin. When pressed, it fills the outline glyph in the tone's ink, where the mode-switcher draws a box.
+- **An install test.** `tests/test_install.py` builds the wheel and sdist, installs into a clean virtualenv, runs `sync`, renders a page on the packaged shell and lints it, on each `make check`.
+- **`--ads-line-input`**, the edge of a control, which has to be found by eye. It is `--ads-n-500` in dark mode, and in light mode it moves from Tabler's hairline to `n-500` with `--ads-contrast`. `--ads-line` keeps the same job and value.
+- **An application shell.** `sync` vendors `ads/shell.html` (extended in place, with navigation taken as **data**), plus `ads/nav.html` and `shell.js`, which `.ads-dropdown`, `.ads-drawer`, the theme toggle, the lightbox and the sidebar's memory need. The reference application's frame went from 308 lines to 99.
+- **`llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt`** for agents adopting the system, generated from the documentation site's navigation so the index cannot list a page the site lacks.
+- **`ads-split__head`**, a pane header that stays in view while the page scrolls under it.
+- **`make help`** in all three Makefiles, plus `format`, `lint`, `types`, `test-cov`, `build` and `publish`.
+- **Apache 2.0, a README and the packaging metadata** a first release needs.
+- **`abilian-ds tokens --docs`** writes the documentation site's reference pages from the stylesheet, so the menu cannot drift from the system.
+- **Five lint rules**: `modifier-without-block` (a modifier on an element without the block it modifies), `duplicate-rule` and `duplicate-token` (a selector or a custom property declared twice), `self-as-child` (an element that *is* the child its class expects to contain), and `path-missing` (a configured path that is not on disk, which used to be a traceback).
+- **Components** found by porting applications the system did not grow around: `ads-tree` (hierarchy), `ads-viewport` (a fixed-height scrolling pane), `ads-bulkbar` (a selection bar any selection model can drive), and `--ads-tap`, the 24px pointer-target floor, which does not scale with the density knob.
+- **Collapsible sidebar groups**, opened by the server for the current page and remembered per reader.
+- **A documentation site** (Zensical) with a generated reference section.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`--ads-contrast` defaults to 1.** At Tabler's values the light theme failed WCAG AA on the system's badges, chips and muted text, so every adopter met the same audit finding. The knob also reaches further now: body ink from n-700 to n-800, the soft hairline from 12% to 18%, and a dark-mode brand ink lifted towards white. Set it to 0 for the reference's palette; the calibration frames do, and parity with Tabler still measures zero differences. *(adopter)*
+- **Card heads share one height**, so the content of cards in a grid starts on one line; a head holding a control gives back the extra height. *(adopter)*
+- **A segmented control stays on one line** and scrolls when short of room. Wrapped, it read as two controls. *(adopter)*
+- **`.ads-card--status` takes its colour from `ads-tone-*`**, like every other toned component. `ads-card--status-success`, `-warning` and `-danger` are gone; write `ads-card--status ads-tone-success`. Used alone, as five demo pages did, those modifiers drew no stripe at all. *(adopter)*
+- **The package ships the system it has.** `theme.css`, `examples/` and four Jinja macros described the Tailwind design this package used to be; `abilian-ds sync` vendored them and `TOKENS.md` documented them. All removed. `sync` now vendors the real stylesheet tree. The linter's Tailwind-CLI path is gone.
+- **`situ.css` points at tokens that exist.** It had been aliasing `--color-*`, a namespace this package deleted.
+- **Current-item styling keys off `aria-current`**, so the highlight cannot exist without the semantics. Same for `aria-pressed` and `aria-invalid`.
+- **The sidebar is sticky and scrolls the overflow inside it.** Its height used to be the document's, so how far a page scrolled depended on which nav groups were open.
+- `poc/` and `pocs/` merged into one `demos/` application.
+- **`sync` vendors one stylesheet**, spliced from the parts in import order, so a page costs one request where it used to cost a fifteen-deep `@import` waterfall. Stale `.css` under the target is removed, so no one edits a file and wonders why nothing changes.
+- **`ads-split` wraps on the split's width**, where it used to wrap on a viewport media query, which is why a split nested in a split kept three panes long after the third stopped being readable. The gap classes set `gap` directly. They used to set the inherited `--ads-gap`, which had been governing all the layout primitives below whatever held the class.
+- **`unused-class` is opt-in.** It asks a question only the project owning the stylesheet can answer; a first adopter with one correct page got 224 findings. `duplicate-rule` now spans the whole sheet the way the cascade does (see [note 25](notes/25-a-check-is-a-scope.md)).
+- **The sdist is the package**, without the rest of the repository: 604 kB to 81 kB.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **On a phone the sidebar was the whole first screen.** Below 48em it stacked above the page, sticky and a viewport tall, so a page opened on its menu. It is now the panel the menu button opens. *(adopter)*
+- **A folded section heading drew a 24px grey block** where a hairline belongs: the tap-target floor beat the `height`. *(adopter)*
+- **A table in its scroll wrapper inside a card** kept 16px of margin under the last row and its first column out of line with the card's title; the card rules only matched a bare table. Header and hovered rows at a card's top or bottom also painted square corners over the round ones. *(adopter)*
+- **`table-overflow` never ran in an adopter's `lint`.** It lived only in `check_document`, which only this repository's tests called. It now runs on all templates, except for tables inside a `{% macro %}`. `heading-skip` still needs the rendered page; the linter docs show how to run `check_document` in an application's tests.
+- **Control edges met no contrast floor, in either theme.** Inputs, selects, textareas, the drawn checkbox and radio, the switch, the colour input and the editor all took `--ads-line`, a divider at 1.2 : 1 against WCAG 1.4.11's 3 : 1. They read `--ads-line-input` now. Reported from a questionnaire in dark mode ([notes/issues/01](notes/issues/01-dark-mode.md)), and gated by `test_control_edges_meet_the_non_text_floor_in_both_themes`, because the text sweep has no text node to read on a checkbox.
+- **An unanswered radio group looked answered.** `:indeterminate` matches a radio whose group has nothing checked, so each such radio wore the brand fill of a tri-state checkbox. The rule is qualified with `[type="checkbox"]`.
+- Accessibility, each found by rendering a condition no one had rendered: a keyboard trap in the rich-text field (WCAG 2.1.2), three reflow failures at 320px (1.4.10), six pages overflowing at 200% text (1.4.4), twenty-four pointer targets under 24×24 (2.5.8), ten current-item markers invisible to assistive technology, and each page load moving focus to the end of the document (2.4.3).
+- Forced-colors mode: meaning shown by colour alone now stays visible, marked with borders. `Highlight` fills were dropped, because the text backplate can hide them.
+- The linter's vocabulary contained 48 fragments read out of decimals and SVG data-URIs, each one a class name a template could use and pass.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Guides for knobs, layout, shells, forms, data and lists, accessibility, dark mode and situ; a generated reference for knobs, tokens, components, macros and the CLI.
+- The pre-system planning notes are archived in `notes/OLD/` with what replaced each.
+- **One home per topic.** A dozen topics were explained on two to four pages each. The copies had drifted: the shell was still described as unpackaged, `sync` as writing two files, and the vocabulary's size disagreed across five pages. Each topic now lives on one page and the others link to it. The shells guide documents the packaged `ads/shell.html`: the blocks, navigation as data, the four layouts and `shell.js`.
+- **The vocabulary's size is stated once**, on the About page, and `test_the_vocabulary_is_sized_once_and_correctly` holds it to the stylesheet and fails if another page states it. The generated reference pages compute the counts themselves.

+# Abilian Design System
+
+This is a design system for business applications built on **Litestar and Jinja**, written in plain CSS with no front-end toolchain. A small set of knobs is the whole overridable surface; everything else is derived from them.
+
+[Documentation](https://ads.lab.abilian.com) · [Token and class reference](https://ads.lab.abilian.com/reference/components/) · [llms.txt](https://ads.lab.abilian.com/llms.txt)
+
+```bash
+pip install abilian-ds     # or: uv add abilian-ds
+abilian-ds sync
+```
+
+It has no runtime dependencies and needs no build step.
+
+## The idea
+
+Styling goes through a **closed vocabulary**: a `--ads-*` custom property or an `ads-*` class. There is no utility layer, no arbitrary-value syntax and no `style=` attribute. `bg-gray-100`, `p-4` and `text-[13px]` generate no CSS at all, and `abilian-ds lint` rejects them before they can sit in a template looking plausible.
+
+That closure is what makes the rest possible:
+
+- **Knobs are the overridable surface; everything else derives.** Set `--ads-brand` and its hover, active, tint, border and foreground shades follow. Set `--ads-space-scale` and every padding, gap, margin and control height follows. One declaration on `:root` changes 361 of 501 elements on a page.
+- **Both themes in one value.** Every colour holds light and dark through `light-dark()`. There is no `dark:` variant anywhere and so no second styling pass to forget.
+- **State that a person can perceive is an attribute.** The current item is `aria-current`, a toggle is `aria-pressed`, an invalid field is `aria-invalid`. The stylesheet keys off those, so the look cannot exist without the meaning.
+- **Measured parity with [Tabler](https://tabler.io).** A harness compares the two property by property and reports **0 differences**.
+- **Accessibility with tests behind it**: contrast in both themes, reflow at 320px, 200% text-only zoom, keyboard traversal, pointer target size and Windows high contrast, swept across every route on every run.
+
+## What `sync` gives you
+
+```
+static/css/ads/ads.css     the stylesheet — one file, one request
+static/css/ads/shell.js    what the dropdowns, drawers and theme toggle need
+static/css/ads/situ.css    only if you use situ
+templates/ads/shell.html   the application frame, extended not copied
+templates/ads/nav.html     navigation rendered from data
+templates/ads/form.html    field, select, textarea, checkbox, button macros
+```
+
+Paths live in `[tool.abilian-ds]` in your `pyproject.toml`, so the commands take no flags:
+
+```toml
+[tool.abilian-ds]
+templates = ["templates"]
+prefix = "ads-"
+```
+

+## The commands
+
+| command | what it does |
+|---|---|
+| `abilian-ds sync` | vendor the stylesheet, the shell script and the macros into your project |
+| `abilian-ds lint` | check templates against the design system |
+| `abilian-ds tokens` | regenerate `TOKENS.md` from the stylesheet |
+
+`lint` is the contract. Green means on-system:
+
+```
+templates/page.html:1: unknown-class: bg-gray-100: not in the design system
+templates/page.html:2: dark-variant: dark:text-white: colours carry both themes, there is no dark pass
+templates/page.html:2: arbitrary-value: text-[13px]: bypasses the token scale
+templates/page.html:2: inline-style: style='color: red': a decision belongs in CSS
+```
+
+It also hashes every vendored file against what the package would produce, so a local edit to `ads.css` shows up as a finding.
+
+## What it does not do
+
+- **No icon set.** The shell uses an `icon()` Jinja global if you register one; an icon set is a licence you cannot change once it is baked in. [How to wire one up.](https://ads.lab.abilian.com/getting-started/first-page/)
+- **No JavaScript framework.** `shell.js` is a page of delegated event handlers with no dependencies. Components that need more (a rich data grid, a live region) are [situ](https://situ.hop3.abilian.com)'s job, and `situ.css` bridges the two palettes.
+- **No CSS-in-JS, no theme builder UI, no component library for React.** This is Jinja and CSS.
+
+## Status
+
+Beta. The vocabulary, the linter and the shell are stable enough to build on; the 0.x version number covers the rest. See [CHANGES.md](CHANGES.md).

+# Abilian Design System
+
+This is a design system for business applications built on **Litestar and Jinja**, written in plain CSS with no front-end toolchain. A small set of knobs is the whole overridable surface; everything else is derived from them.
+
+[Documentation](https://ads.lab.abilian.com) · [Token and class reference](https://ads.lab.abilian.com/reference/components/) · [llms.txt](https://ads.lab.abilian.com/llms.txt)
+
+```bash
+pip install abilian-ds     # or: uv add abilian-ds
+abilian-ds sync
+```
+
+It has no runtime dependencies and needs no build step.
+
+## The idea
+
+Styling goes through a **closed vocabulary**: a `--ads-*` custom property or an `ads-*` class. There is no utility layer, no arbitrary-value syntax and no `style=` attribute. `bg-gray-100`, `p-4` and `text-[13px]` generate no CSS at all, and `abilian-ds lint` rejects them before they can sit in a template looking plausible.
+
+That closure is what makes the rest possible:
+
+- **Knobs are the overridable surface; everything else derives.** Set `--ads-brand` and its hover, active, tint, border and foreground shades follow. Set `--ads-space-scale` and every padding, gap, margin and control height follows. One declaration on `:root` changes 361 of 501 elements on a page.
+- **Both themes in one value.** Every colour holds light and dark through `light-dark()`. There is no `dark:` variant anywhere and so no second styling pass to forget.
+- **State that a person can perceive is an attribute.** The current item is `aria-current`, a toggle is `aria-pressed`, an invalid field is `aria-invalid`. The stylesheet keys off those, so the look cannot exist without the meaning.
+- **Measured parity with [Tabler](https://tabler.io).** A harness compares the two property by property and reports **0 differences**.
+- **Accessibility with tests behind it**: contrast in both themes, reflow at 320px, 200% text-only zoom, keyboard traversal, pointer target size and Windows high contrast, swept across every route on every run.
+
+## What `sync` gives you
+
+```
+static/css/ads/ads.css     the stylesheet — one file, one request
+static/css/ads/shell.js    what the dropdowns, drawers and theme toggle need
+static/css/ads/situ.css    only if you use situ
+templates/ads/shell.html   the application frame, extended not copied
+templates/ads/nav.html     navigation rendered from data
+templates/ads/form.html    field, select, textarea, checkbox, button macros
+```
+
+Paths live in `[tool.abilian-ds]` in your `pyproject.toml`, so the commands take no flags:
+
+```toml
+[tool.abilian-ds]
+templates = ["templates"]
+prefix = "ads-"
+```
+
+## A page
+
+```jinja
+{% extends "ads/shell.html" %}
+{% block title %}Contacts · Acme{% endblock %}
+{% block brand_name %}Acme{% endblock %}
+{% block heading %}Contacts{% endblock %}
+{% block actions %}<button class="ads-btn ads-btn--primary">New contact</button>{% endblock %}
+{% block body %}
+<div class="ads-card"><div class="ads-card__body ads-stack">
+  <div class="ads-cluster">
+    <span class="ads-avatar ads-avatar--sm">AR</span>
+    <strong class="ads-truncate">Amélie Rousseau</strong>
+    <span class="ads-badge ads-tone-success">active</span>
+  </div>
+</div></div>
+{% endblock %}
+```
+
