The handbook is nine written rules now, and it had no home. This gives
it one at /docs/handbook/style/, draws it as a destination rather
than a list, and leaves the documentation index room for the SDK
reference when it lands.

The URL was a hole, not a choice

/docs/handbook/style/ returned 404, so trimming a rule off its own
URL landed on nothing. That is not a new observation — the breadcrumb
filter in eleventy.config.mjs carries a comment about it, because a
trail built from URL segments "would link twice into nothing."

The breadcrumb worked around it through _data/sections.json, which
pointed "Style handbook" at /docs/#handbook — a fragment part way down
another page. So that step never went to the handbook.

before after
/docs/handbook/style/ 404 the index
breadcrumb on a rule Home › Docs › Style handbook → /docs/#handbook Home › Docs › Style Handbook → /docs/handbook/style/
handbook on /docs/ 52 lines, all nine rules 26-line card

sections.json's entry is gone. It existed because nothing sat at that
URL; something does now, and leaving it would have listed the handbook
twice in a rule's breadcrumb — once from the map, once from the
page. id="handbook" stays on the card, because production is GitHub
Pages with no _redirects, so an existing /docs/#handbook link from
outside cannot be redirected and should still land somewhere sensible.

Drawn, not borrowed

The page first reused the docs index's markup wholesale, so the front
door to nine rules looked like a copy of the page above it. It has its
own _handbook.scss now:

  • The nine rules are a grid of cards, made the way _home.scss
    makes the SDK areas — a hairline showing through a 1px gap between
    cells carrying the section's own wash. Nine divides into three rows
    of three, so the shape is counted rather than fitted.
  • Each card is one link, the whole cell, as .latest is on the
    home page.
  • The head takes the ring off the logogram, as the other front doors do.
  • /docs/ gains a panel saying what is behind it — 13 pages, 4 guides
    and 9 rules — and numerals on its entries.

A link nobody could read

The card's link was parchment on parchment:

was:  rgb(231,231,214) on rgb(223,221,205)   1.09:1
now:  rgb(0,102,115)   on rgb(223,221,205)   4.88:1

The rule that colored it was written for the ink at the top of the page
and named only .invite-row, so it followed that class onto a light
band the moment one was used there. It is scoped to .docs-head now
and cannot follow it anywhere else.

The count says itself only when it is news

A progress meter that has finished is noise. Both pages announced nine
of nine written, in four places between them. The counting stays,
because it earns its place the moment a rule is added and left
unwritten — it is simply silent while there is nothing to report: no
tally beside a heading, and no row of squares that are all the same
square.

complete:    9 rules, one to a page · look up the one you need
with a gap:  1 rule still unwritten · 8 of 9 · tally and meter return

The page also called an unwritten rule pageless. It has a page — every
rule in the collection builds one, and the grid links to it. What it
lacks is the guidance, and "unwritten" is the word the rest of the page
already uses.

Checked

  • nps test — all verify tasks pass.
  • Contrast: 0 failures across 63 text nodes on both pages, measured
    with translucent panels composited over their ancestors rather than
    read off the element. The tightest pair is 4.88:1. A first sweep of
    mine reported five failures; it was wrong, not the page — it took a
    4% tint over ink as the background.
  • All three URL levels resolve, 22 pages scanned with no broken
    internal links
    , and zero remaining /docs/#handbook references.
  • The rule breadcrumb resolves / → /docs/ → /docs/handbook/style/
    with no duplicated step, and the index does not link to itself.
  • Both count states exercised by marking a rule a stub and
    building, since the gap branch never renders while all nine are
    written; then reverted.
  • Zero horizontal overflow at 390px and 1280px on both pages, and
    prefers-reduced-motion is honored in both new stylesheets.

The stylesheet goes 85.1 KB → 89.0 KB for the design work, still 44%
below where this run of changes started.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The handbook content moved to a dedicated Style Handbook page. The page renders handbook rules, counts, status labels, and progress indicators. Documentation and site links now target the new handbook URL.

Changes

Style Handbook

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handbook index and rule rendering
_data/sections.json, collections/_pages/handbook.html, _assets/styles/_handbook.scss, _assets/styles/main.scss
The handbook section configuration was removed. The new page calculates documentation counts, renders linked rule cards and status labels, shows progress indicators, and displays conditional contribution messaging.
Documentation overview and navigation
collections/_pages/docs.html, collections/_pages/about.html, collections/_pages/home.html, collections/_pages/license.html
The documentation overview now shows documentation counts and links to the dedicated handbook page. Existing handbook links now use /docs/handbook/style/.
Documentation header and handbook teaser styling
_assets/styles/_docs.scss
The documentation header now includes a decorative ring, scoped glance-panel selectors, numbered participation items, and a styled handbook teaser. Reduced-motion support disables teaser-arrow transitions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to be4be

This change gives the handbook its own page, updates related links, and preserves the existing handbook anchor; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

✅ Action performed

Full review finished.

Nine written rules were listed on the documentation index and had no
home. `/docs/handbook/style/` returned 404, so trimming a rule off its
own URL landed on nothing, and the breadcrumb pointed at
`/docs/#handbook`, a fragment part way down another page. The filter
that builds those trails carries a comment about this, because a trail
built from URL segments would link twice into nothing.

The index at that URL carries every rule with its own line, and the
documentation page keeps a card in place of the list: what the
handbook is, and a way in. That is the section down from fifty-two
lines to twenty-six, which is the room the SDK reference will want.

`sections.json` named the handbook because nothing sat at that URL for
a breadcrumb to find. Something does, so the entry goes; leaving it
would have put the handbook in a rule's breadcrumb twice, once from
the map and once from the page. `id="handbook"` stays on the card,
since a link from outside cannot be redirected and should still land
somewhere sensible.

The page is drawn rather than borrowed. The rules are a grid of cards,
made the way the home page makes the areas of the SDK: a hairline
showing through a one-pixel gap between cells carrying the section's
own wash. Nine divides into three rows of three, so the shape is
counted rather than fitted, and each card is one link, the whole cell.
The head takes the ring off the logogram, as the other front doors do.

A link on the card had been set in parchment on parchment, 1.09:1. The
rule that colored it was written for the ink at the top of the page
and named only its class, so it followed that class onto a light band.
It is scoped to the head now and cannot follow it anywhere. Every pair
of colors on both pages clears AA, measured with the translucent
panels composited rather than read off the element; the tightest is
4.88:1.

A count of what is missing is news and a count of what is complete is
not, so the tally and the row of squares appear only when a rule is
unwritten, and the card gives the size of the handbook instead. The
page also called an unwritten rule pageless. It has a page; what it
lacks is the guidance. Both states were checked by marking a rule a
stub and building, since neither renders while all nine are written.
