I2770

What it is

Objective

Make majordomus.dev the reference for the product's look by giving every screen of majordomus ui and every page of the Cockpit the site's own navbar: the bar the site's partial renders over site/data/nav.toml, cut out of the built site and compiled into the executable, styled by the same Tailwind build over the same tokens, driven by the site's own scripts, and held to the site's bar by a browser comparison in both themes and at every declared width.

Why

Owner, 2026-10-16: the official site majordomus.dev is the reference for styling and UI/UX rules; /ui and the Cockpit must be derived from it, with the same layout and a pixel-identical navbar. Measured that day: the site's bar is 73 px tall at 1440 and 65 px at 390, in 16 px type, with the brand and release, four menus, search, theme toggle, the product, GitHub and the call to action; the UI's was a 67 px tool bar beside a 240 px sidebar with a brand of its own (119 px tall at 390), in 14 px type, with none of the site's entries; the Cockpit's a third bar, 53 px in 13.5 px type. The tokens were shared (one --mj-design fingerprint) and the bars were three.

Now

The site renders its navbar from site/data/nav.toml through site/templates/partials/navbar.html; apps/majordomus-cli/src/ui/shell.rs draws a sidebar brand and a top bar of its own, apps/majordomus-cli/src/cockpit/view.rs a third; nothing compares them.

Wanted

scripts/ui navbar --write cuts the bar out of the built site into apps/majordomus-cli/src/ui/navbar.html, which ui/navbar.rs compiles in and fills with the executable's version, leading the product entry to the live UI, for the UI's shell and the Cockpit's; share/ui/src/ui.css and share/cockpit/src/cockpit.css compile the utilities that file names; nav.js and theme.js under share/ui/ and share/cockpit/ are byte copies of the site's, written and checked by scripts/cockpit-assets; scripts/ui navbar, run first by scripts/ui audit (the ui-audit gate), refuses a stale copy and any difference between the site's bar and the bar of /ui or /cockpit in an element, a box or a computed style; project.the-ui-wears-the-sites-navbar states it.

Not

The published Cockpit snapshot keeps no script, so its copy of the bar has no working menus there; giving the snapshot the bar's two scripts is a change to the exporter's subjectA second navigation declaration or a second renderer of the bar for any surface
