Askr release plan
Askr v0.14.0 — published 2026-11-03
The Human accepted the candidate and authorized publication on 2026-11-03. Semantic state: ACCEPTED. Delivery state: INTEGRATED; publication: PUBLISHED. The release includes the UI stability work previously discussed for v0.13.4 and issues #28–31; there is no separate v0.13.4 release. It adds .askr-grid for paired content and .askr-figure-fit for optional tall-image fitting, corrects nested Mermaid edge-label treatment, preserves configured language codes, and includes the accepted navigation, readiness, and Copy fixes. The Lead completed the main preview and navigation checks.
PR #32 was merged, the v0.14.0 Release and Pages deployment completed, and a fresh tagged install plus consumer render passed. Issues #28–31 received completion replies and were closed. Issue #27 remains open as enduring design guidance; no redesign or Steps were added. Delivery evidence is recorded in Validation.
README and the current installation/version guides describe v0.14.0. Source metadata and the v0.13.3 archive were prepared and verified before publication.
Documentation source consolidation
Completed 2026-10-30: the nine historical version sources are under archives/, with their public /v*/ routes and source bytes preserved. The README has been rewritten for readers. Inventory, route, snapshot, render, and consumer checks passed.
The release kept the accepted Page List density and serialized mobile Areas and Pages disclosures so the last user action wins; Escape and backdrop closure restore focus. It added callout keyboard support, initialized language and Logout controls after DOM readiness, and seeded the version selector from the local manifest while leaving runtime external configuration authoritative. It kept browser-native full-page navigation and omitted the unpublished cross-document fade and setting.
The initial content gate waits for DOM readiness, fonts, coherent native header offsets, adaptive Areas, the version fetch, and two stable animation frames. It shows localized status after 180ms and fails open after 1800ms. Content stays visible without JavaScript; Quarto retains geometry ownership and readiness listeners are removed when the gate releases.
Copy errors are classified and communicated with a manual source path; the code-only compatibility path remains without a broad fallback.
Completed candidate checks and release validation are recorded in Validation. The docs-site correction above is the only current pending work; its Root checks passed, and its authorized main-site redeploy and public readback remain pending.
Askr v0.13.3 — Page List current-page highlight — 2026-10-28
Semantic state: ACCEPTED. Delivery state: CANDIDATE. The Human authorized publication of the accepted Page List highlight.
This release highlights the current Quarto Page List item with a theme-aware row tint and semibold label. The highlight follows Quarto’s native active-page state. The release also preserves the published v0.13.2 Gallery under /v0.13.2/ and updates the bilingual version guides.
✅ The actual published v0.13.2 site was copied from gh-pages commit ccac30acfab164ff2f8ba4db9be7efef7d5beb1a into v0.13.2/: 244 files, 26,612,518 bytes. The source-tree SHA-256 manifest is 7bd39706a24f6385ec9dd0704e4929970bb6279e37a3940d5a1d4636c2001b67. See Validation for the exact paths and pending checks.
✅ The default full-site render passed for 111 English and 32 Traditional Chinese inputs. Archive bytes match the published source exactly. Light/dark Page List review and the existing mobile row check passed; see Validation.
⏳ Lead: complete main CI, install the released tag in a fresh Quarto consumer, and publish the release.
Askr v0.13.2 — filename code frames and release docs — 2026-10-28
Semantic state: ACCEPTED. Delivery state: PUBLISHED.
This release added the single-frame Quarto filename style and its bilingual example; native footer guidance and bilingual HTML License pages; and Safari HTTP-preview clipboard guidance. The Copy implementation and clipboard payload were unchanged. The typography preview was excluded. Existing documentation changes were 0beff39 (footer and License) and 85708df (Safari clipboard note).
✅ Root preserved the actual published v0.13.1 site at /v0.13.1/ from deployed gh-pages commit bff50282f12d71dfb9ebaa34f8c6979160230452: 241 files, 26,374,137 bytes, with hashes verified. Existing browser QA at 390px and 841px confirmed actual Copy/paste, callout collapse, and one filename/source frame; see Validation.
✅ The bilingual 111-page English and 32-page Traditional Chinese gallery render, main Publish run, Pages deployment, fresh v0.13.2 install and consumer render completed successfully. See Validation.
Askr v0.13.1 — Copy source spacing hotfix — 2026-10-27
Remove the shared Copy control’s extra top padding from native code blocks, including displayed Mermaid source. Keep the text Copy button, success/reset behavior and existing source content. Preserve the actual published v0.13.0 site as a historical snapshot before replacing the root site.
✅ The actual published v0.13.0 site is preserved as a 241-file snapshot; the manifest, build resources and bilingual version guides retain it under /v0.13.0/. The Human authorized this hotfix release. ✅ Lead review, exact-candidate release render, archive identity, source spacing and Copy placement checks are complete. ⏳ Lead: complete promotion, main CI, tag installation and public-site review.
Native announcement support — v0.12.1 release candidate — 2026-10-26
Use Quarto’s existing website.announcement as Askr’s supported site-wide notice. Askr owns its wrapping, semantic colors and accessible close control; authors keep the native content, icon, type, position and dismissal settings. For persistent development-version warnings, the guide recommends a warning notice with dismissal disabled. The Gallery demonstrates the same notice in English and Traditional Chinese using public example text.
The mobile overlap came from the Pages control occupying the top of the header while an above-navbar announcement occupied that same space. The implementation keeps Pages aligned with the navbar after wrapping, dismissal and viewport changes, while the native header controls article, sidebar and anchor offsets. Header controls share 150ms ease-in-out color, background, border and shadow transitions; reduced-motion preferences disable these transitions.
✅ 2026-10-26: local implementation, Lead browser checks and the full bilingual release render are complete; see Validation. The Human authorized release of this scope as v0.12.1 on 2026-10-26. Retain the actual published v0.12.0 documentation as a versioned snapshot. ⏳ Lead: complete promotion, main CI, GitHub Release, Pages deployment and a fresh tag installation before marking publication complete. Consumer adoption remains with each consumer owner.
Native Card component — v0.12.0 release candidate — 2026-10-25
The Human authorized the v0.12.0 release endpoint for the Card component. The candidate interface uses .askr-card, .askr-card-body, and .askr-card-title. Its heading link is the primary navigation; the shell has no click handler, and links in the body retain their own native destinations. .unlisted excludes the real heading from the page table of contents without changing its author-chosen level.
The English and Traditional Chinese guides provide the exact authoring source, the class mapping and CSS migration note, and two vertical Gallery examples linked to existing Usage pages. Their short and long CJK titles make wrapping visible; the cards contain no scientific examples or results. Inputs are the requested linked-heading behavior, existing theme tokens, and those Usage pages. The stylesheet implementation must use existing tokens and remain CSS-only; its rules are a dependency owned separately from this documentation package. Existing course-card migration renames only the outer, body, and title classes, preserves heading text, level, link target, and description content, then removes only local CSS scoped to the old course-card classes.
Scope includes the Card rules in _extensions/askr/qdk.scss under its separate stylesheet owner, plus the two Cards pages, their navigation entries, links from the component overviews and README, and this package documentation. This documentation work package does not edit the stylesheet. Do not change consumer repositories, root pins, JavaScript, or dependencies. Semantic state: CONVERGING. Delivery state: CANDIDATE; the Human-authorized endpoint includes the exact-path develop checkpoint, main PR, v0.12.0 tag/release, Pages publication, and installation handoff. The separate shared Copy follow-up remains Unreleased and is not part of v0.12.0.
The Lead completed the Card-only renders and Chromium review and the full bilingual site render recorded in VALIDATION.md. Before completing the release, the Lead still owns main PR/CI, v0.12.0 installation validation, Pages publication, and deployment/readback. Add no new tests and execute no notebooks or scientific content.
If the markup cannot retain native heading and link behavior, return the issue for direction instead of adding JavaScript or making the full card clickable. Visual acceptance and completed publication remain separate outcomes.
Previous: Askr 0.11.0 Mermaid viewer — published 2026-10-21
The Mermaid viewer and the v0.10.0 site snapshot shipped in the published v0.11.0 GitHub Release. The tag and release remain unchanged. The viewer uses one opt-in wrapper around a native Mermaid cell and the existing Askr modal; its source and browser observations are recorded in VALIDATION.md and the Mermaid viewer guide. The current shared-copy follow-up does not amend that published package.
Previous: Documentation version archive correction — 2026-10-21
At the time of the docs-only archive correction, 0.10.0 was the current published site. The correction kept the actual published 0.9.0 site as v0.9.0/, retained the frozen 0.3.0 snapshot and left the extension runtime, installed version and public options unchanged. The v0.9.0/ source snapshot comes from the actual Pages tree at 32b83b78756c09dbcf7fd378996cd1170cfdbc48; the full root render publishes that directory and generates compatible selector manifests. The 0.9.0 manifest uses one root relative to its own site directory for current-version matching and fixed homepage links for navigation; the frozen 0.3.0 manifest uses its /askr/ origin prefix and fixed version-home links. Both HTML snapshots remain unchanged. The published 0.11.0 package preserved the actual 0.10.0 site under /v0.10.0/ before replacing the current root; it did not add a second 0.10.0 entry.
Historical sites are unmaintained. The docs-only archive correction shipped with v0.11.0; see VALIDATION.md for its render, browser and Pages receipt. The Lead retains Git, Pages and publication delivery authority. Semantic state: CONVERGING; delivery state: PUBLISHED.
Published: Askr 0.10.0 bilingual release — 2026-10-21
The Human authorized publication of Askr 0.10.0 and its later LCDH adoption. This package adds the optional Header language selector and an actual bilingual Gallery. English remains at the existing site root; a separate Traditional Chinese Quarto website is built under /zh-TW/, with its own navigation and search. Each site’s askr.languages.current is explicit, and both selector entries link to the two site homepages.
The root Quarto project excludes zh-TW/ from its own render. On a full site render, its post-render helper stages the current Askr extension and shared image/bibliography assets into ignored generated paths, then renders the child website into _site/zh-TW/. The three executable examples shared by both sites live once in _includes/; translated documents include those same cells instead of owning copies of executable code.
Implement the site-level askr.languages option in Askr’s Header. Its current code must match exactly one entry in items; provide at least two entries, each with a unique nonempty scalar code, nonempty scalar label, and an HTTPS absolute URL or domain-root /path href. Reject protocol-relative and whitespace-containing destinations, and escape every configured string.
Place a square language icon beside the existing Header tools. Give it the accessible name and tooltip Language: <current label>; keep it available on narrow screens independently of Areas and reserve its measured width in the Header layout. The menu uses Askr’s light/dark tokens. Each normal link uses its configured href in the current tab, with lang, hreflang, and a visible current marker plus aria-current. Omit the control when the option is absent; JavaScript-disabled output contains no dead button. Askr does not infer destinations, persist language choices, translate content, or alter search. Existing author-provided navbar language links remain in place; guidance tells authors to remove duplicates after configuring Askr.
Askr owns the extension, Usage docs and bilingual Gallery build. The public Gallery is configured for its own English and Traditional Chinese homepages; consumer repositories, root pins and the frozen v0.3.0/ remain outside this package. v0.3.0/ remains the historical English snapshot.
The corrected full root/child render passed with 106 English and 27 Traditional Chinese pages, and all three shared cells executed in both. The 27 Chinese pages have no broken static links; the English and Chinese search indexes contain 211 and 89 entries. The Lead also observed desktop language navigation, four separate page sidebars, Chinese-only search results and the Figures viewer. Detailed observations are in VALIDATION.md. The 0.10.0 release, Pages deployment and installation handoff are complete.
Semantic state: CONVERGING. Delivery state: published as v0.10.0; the later documentation archive correction is a separate package.
Historical work packets
Historical local-candidate packet — Optional Header language selector — 2026-10-21
The earlier local-candidate packet preceded the Human’s publication authorization and the bilingual Gallery assignment. Its feature contract and temporary-consumer observations remain historical context; its local-only endpoint and publication restrictions are superseded by the current package above.
0.9.0 dense scientific reading — 2026-10-21
Ship the Human-assigned P0 reading improvements: accessible scrolling tables, consistent normal/wide measure, compiled border tokens and contrast, compact search-clean equation copy, native semantic blocks, flat page facts, and natural wide figures. Askr Lead owns quarto-design-kit/**; consumers, root pins and the frozen v0.3.0/ remain outside this package. Runtime assets stay local.
Required observations are Quarto renders, a light/dark compiled public-token audit and actual browser reading/keyboard/copy/layout behavior, including scoped temporary probes outside the repository. Record results in VALIDATION.md. No durable tests, new gallery fixtures, CI workflows, scientific execution or optional SVG/Mermaid image-viewer extension are assigned.
Delivery endpoint: develop checkpoint, reviewed main promotion, v0.9.0 release, existing Pages publication, public observation and durable-child synchronization. The Lead retains Git/publication authority. Semantic state: CONVERGING; implementation and publication do not imply Human acceptance or stabilization.
Dual-mode image viewer — local candidate, 2026-10-10
Askr Lead owns the extension, Figures and Usage. Implement the Human’s dual-mode plan: SVG/PNG/JPEG, inline interaction and a shared modal engine, existing button syntax, Quarto image eligibility/paths/captions/groups, focus and state continuity. CONVERGING; LOCAL CANDIDATE only; no_test_writes. No commit, push, publication, consumer edits, infrastructure or root pins. Remove the active GLightbox runtime. Observe actual desktop/tablet/mobile light/dark rendering and operations, inline/modal state, galleries, keyboard/touch, failures and temporary consumer installation. Record the actual observation source and remaining limits in VALIDATION.md; source inspection alone does not prove interaction.
Implementation and local preview are available. Actual mouse/keyboard/modal, responsive chrome, gallery/failure and resource-path observations are recorded. Actual touchscreen pinch and JavaScript-disabled browser observations remain incomplete; this candidate is not labeled fully validated or accepted.
Optional logout and native image viewer — local candidate, 2026-10-06
State: CONVERGING; endpoint: LOCAL CANDIDATE and running preview only. The Human assigned this bounded implementation and observations, not publication or automated-test stabilization. The Askr owner is the primary writer for extension, Gallery, Usage, and these receipts. test_policy = no_test_writes.
askr.logout.href(required when logout is configured) accepts HTTPS or a domain-root/path;labeldefaults to Logout. Absence means no control. An accessible Header icon navigates the current tab. Authentik/deployment owns session state, outpost endpoints, and real logout; Askr owns no account, cookie, or session handling. Invalid configuration fails at render time.askr-htmldefaults to nativelightbox: auto. Native.nolightbox, pagelightbox: false, linked/inline image treatment, captions, galleries, zoom, drag, and close remain Quarto’s responsibility. Askr styles controls and descriptions and restores focus to the entry that opened the viewer.askr-image-viewaccepts exactly onetarget(an existing eligible image/ figure ID) orsrc(a hidden native image), and optionallabel(View image). Bad targets and disabled-Lightbox conflicts fail during rendering; there is no image-page fallback. Non-HTML produces ordinary image/figure links.- Add two Usage pages and real Figures examples using existing public assets. Never add private URLs/assets, change pixels, or promise sharper upscaling.
Required evidence: non-executing render; actual desktop/mobile light/dark opening from image and both button forms, caption/relative-path handling, native zoom/drag, Escape/close, reading-position and focus restoration; excluded/linked images; missing-image behavior; temporary independent consumer with and without Logout, Header layout and exact destinations; invalid-input and non-HTML render probes; independent correctness/privacy review. One-off probes/screenshots stay outside the repository. Update VALIDATION with actual observations and limitations. No NCUAS/NPM/Authentik changes, real authentication exercise, consumer update, root pin, release, push, CI workflow, or durable test.
0.5.0 acceptance and delivery — 2026-10-06
After direct preview iteration the Human confirmed the current candidate and requested publication (“可以餒！就先這樣。可以發佈了。”). This accepts the 0.5.0 engineering and visual follow-ups below, including copyable display mathematics with original-sized Copy/Copied! feedback. State: ACCEPTED; automated-test stabilization is not assigned. Delivery endpoint: checkpoint develop, promote via PR to main, tag/release v0.5.0, observe existing CI/Pages, verify public routes and synchronize the durable child checkout. Existing historical v0.3.0 stays unchanged. No consumer changes or root pins. Earlier CONVERGING/pending statements below are historical candidate receipts superseded by this scope-bound acceptance, not additional active candidates.
Goal and state
This repository owns the askr-html native Quarto HTML extension and its local gallery. Askr is the reading page: measure, type, citations, and callouts. Quiet Quartz remains the visual theme name. The 0.4.2 release targets Quarto 1.10.18. The public format is askr-html. Visual semantics remain CONVERGING until explicit Human acceptance; a version number, merge, or tag does not establish semantic stabilization or deployment.
Ownership and interfaces
Active 0.5.0 engineering package (2026-10-06)
Human authorized execution of this package. Owner/writer: Askr Lead in the registered local child checkout, arfiligol/askr on develop, starting at efab6e77ba91a9d7b71dd2816a4e191769683e89. State: CONVERGING / LOCAL CANDIDATE. No Cursor writer is active. Worker leases, when allocated, are disjoint.
- Restore grouped tabs’ visual selection, content, ARIA selection and keyboard tab stops to one native Quarto state. Quarto retains switching, grouping and persistence; Askr synchronizes accessibility attributes from native active classes, including initial load and page return. Preserve .9rem labels and current spacing. If a narrow package fix is not viable, report evidence and discuss Plan B rather than silently removing groups.
- Resolve version links relative to the deployment site root, separately from version roots and page paths. Manifest
/means the site root, including repository-prefix deployments. Keep the corresponding page and missing-page version-home behavior without hardcoded product paths. Use a disclosure button and ordinary links, native Enter/Space and Tab/Shift-Tab, Escape with trigger-focus restoration, and outside/focus-leave closing without stealing outside focus. - Exclude controls from prose-link styling. Publish global and component design tokens (tabs, callouts, navigation/version/search, code, tables and blockquotes) while preserving
askr-htmland existing--qdk-*names. Sass owns compile-time defaults and derived CSS variables; theme-color reads the actual canvas token. Consumer bases remain authoritative at responsive sizes. Keep one external gallery version manifest; existing inline consumer input remains supported. Document overrides and show real rendered examples. - Investigate a Quarto compatibility range rather than locking one patch. Keep 1.10.18 as reproducible CI baseline. Inspect native dependencies and upstream changes, then observe range boundaries/relevant changed releases. Report supported range separately from actually observed versions. No broad unobserved 1.x claim, adapter framework or standing CI version matrix.
Required observations: desktop/mobile light/dark grouped tabs via mouse and keyboard, state/content/ARIA agreement, reload and page return; root and repository-prefix version routes including history/missing pages; disclosure focus; a clean independent consumer with token overrides; and selected Quarto versions. Source and rendered DOM/browser observations support these claims, not a synthetic PASS label. Temporary probes and screenshots stay outside the repository. Record interpretation and exact inputs in VALIDATION.md. No durable test writes or general validation framework are authorized.
Independent review covers the frozen reusable/public-interface candidate. Present the full candidate for Human semantic acceptance before 0.5.0 develop-to-main promotion, tag and actual Pages/public-site verification. Do not modify consumers, root pins, infrastructure or private artifacts. The separately received logout-action design context is pending Human discussion and is not part of this package.
Candidate implementation and the assigned browser observations are complete; see VALIDATION.md for actual inputs, outcomes and limits. The range candidate is stable Quarto >=1.9.38 <1.11, with 1.10.18 retained for CI. Public component tokens are documented in usage/tokens.qmd. Final independent delta review found no remaining requirement-backed defects. Human acceptance precedes publication; this is not a released 0.5.0 yet.
Human acceptance packet: 0.5.0 engineering candidate
Copyable display mathematics follow-up (2026-10-06): add a shared HTML component around native standalone display math. A render filter captures the same Pandoc Math source used for display, without delimiters. A nearby keyboard-accessible Copy LaTeX button reports clipboard success; clipboard denial reveals selectable source, never false success. Inline math and non-HTML outputs remain native. Inspect actual clipboard content and light/dark desktop/mobile preview. Local candidate only; no durable tests or publication. Askr owns the wrapper and copy interaction, not math layout. Human visual refinement: visible button label is Copy; accessible name remains Copy LaTeX. The subsequent request restores the original .8rem type and .25rem/.5rem padding, superseding the compact-size candidate. Human success-feedback refinement: successful copy changes the button to green-outline Copied! for two seconds, then transitions back to Copy. Repeated clicks restart the feedback duration. Errors retain the manual-copy disclosure; reduced-motion preference disables transitions. Observe both success and automatic restoration in the local preview.
Marked-text follow-up (2026-10-06): retain native mark semantics and the existing mark background token; inherit paragraph text color and use a muted amber dark fill. Inspect Prose in light/dark desktop and mobile. Deliver local preview only; no tests, release or consumer changes.
Callout preview follow-up (2026-10-06): compare headered icon/no-icon native callouts, normalize shell/header block padding and center icon/title/disclosure glyph. Preserve titleless padding, nested content and native collapse. Inspect actual default/minimal, expanded/collapsed, long-title and desktop/mobile light/dark render geometry; deliver local preview, no tests or release. The same Human follow-up requests separate unordered/ordered list displays, each with a hierarchical Structure example in components/prose.qmd. Inspect their actual three-level list markup and mobile containment, without changing native list behavior or introducing scientific results. The ordered specimen uses native numeric/alphabetic/numeric markers at successive levels, as requested. A further callout follow-up removes native iconless-header negative bottom margin so the shared icon-derived row also produces equal outer insets.
Human preview follow-up (2026-10-06): refine tab-pane padding and label-to-pane gap, refine header spacing, and repair Areas disclosure placement. Owner is the same Askr Lead; affected paths are qdk.scss, token documentation and this receipt. Preserve label size, native selection/collapse, consumer interfaces and other candidate behavior. Observe desktop/mobile light/dark spacing and actual Areas/Pages open/close/outside-click behavior in the rendered browser. Inspect every header control (Pages, Search, version, theme and Areas), including its position and resulting disclosure. Header-height self-reference and the native Pages minimum-height override are implementation defects in this scope. No test writes, consumer/root-pin change or release is assigned by this follow-up. Deliver an updated local preview for Human review. Only this visual delta invalidates the prior spacing/header observation; other source receipts remain bound to their original identity.
- Scope and behavior: grouped native tabs agree across content, selection, ARIA and tab stops, including keyboard/reload/return. Version disclosure uses ordinary links and predictable focus; routes remain deployment-root-relative. Prose/control styling is separated. Global/component overrides have one Sass compile authority and meaningful responsive consumer bases.
- Public interfaces: existing
askr-html,--qdk-*names and version manifest fields remain; documented component tokens are added. Candidate Quarto range is stable>=1.9.38 <1.11, with 1.10.18 as CI baseline. Global radius default now actually controls component radii at the existing effective 6px value. - Ownership: Quarto owns tab selection/persistence, collapse and search; Askr mirrors presentation/accessibility and owns tokens. Consumers own their styles, content, manifest and hosting. Historical sites are unchanged.
- Failure and edges: missing manifests keep the native brand (or existing inline input); same-origin 404 links use the selected version home. Network failure retains the original link; modified/external links stay browser-native. Invalid Sass/CSS inputs use native compiler/browser behavior, not invented replacement values. Native group persistence is unchanged.
- Limits/exclusions: not every Quarto patch was exercised; prerelease support, 1.11 adapters, scientific output, new tests, consumer changes, root pins, logout and infrastructure are excluded. A custom host error document remains a consumer/hosting responsibility.
- Completed evidence: actual desktop/mobile light/dark browser operations, independent consumer and root/prefix routing observations, selected-version renders/source investigation and independent review, detailed in VALIDATION.
- Unresolved semantic decisions: none proposed by the implementation. Human acceptance is pending; source candidate is not semantic acceptance.
- Delivery: candidate checkpoint on develop, then after explicit acceptance promote main/tag 0.5.0 and observe actual CI, Pages and public routes. The Pages-hosted 404 receipt is intentionally pending that delivery stage.
Current bounded typography adjustment
Reduce native grouped-tabset labels to 0.9rem, following the Human-requested smaller candidate after the H4 comparison. Preserve Cursor’s current tab styling, native group synchronization, content, and heading sizes. Observe computed H3/H4/tab sizes and desktop (1440 × 900) and mobile (390 × 844) screenshots, then exercise the Palace/AEDT group synchronization. The Human requested publication on 2026-10-06: checkpoint develop, promote main, tag v0.4.2, and verify the existing Pages workflow and public tabset. No consumer update, root pin, new durable tests, or stabilization are assigned.
The Human retained the 0.9rem label candidate and requested tighter vertical spacing: reduce label padding to .35rem and remove duplicate first/last child block margins inside native tab panes. Preserve horizontal spacing and content padding. Inspect the current preview at desktop and mobile sizes.
The extension is self-contained at _extensions/askr and exposes one public format name: askr-html. Its token authority is qdk.scss: documented Quarto Sass variables own color, type, callout color, code, navbar, sidebar, and grid widths, and scss:rules applies the remaining Quartz-derived visuals without importing a Quartz runtime. Schibsted Grotesk (400/700) owns titles and navigation UI; Source Sans 3 (400/600 plus italic) is the locally pinned Source Sans Pro successor used for body text; IBM Plex Mono owns code. Consumers own content, IA, execution, math engine, viewer behavior, privacy, data, and navigation choices. The gallery at this repository root is the source-backed evaluation surface. The shared token authority distinguishes content dividers from quieter layout dividers in each native theme; manual Markdown --- is the opt-in content divider, while sidebar and navigation boundaries use the layout token. Askr is a reusable design-system candidate for direct SCQ-repository adoption. Its layout contract is the theme variables $grid-sidebar-width and $grid-margin-width at 264px, $grid-body-width and $grid-docked-body-width at 630px, and $grid-column-gutter-width at 26px. The root font size is 18px. $sidebar-border is false. One scss:rules track list restates the docked grid from those variables so the 630px measure stays centered; Quarto’s own formula would add 200px to the body and leave the spare space in a right-hand 5fr column. That track rule is the residual coupling to Quarto’s grid line names.
Adaptive Areas and smooth-scroll repair — local candidate
Human-assigned scope: remove the Gallery RequireJS/Zenscroll conflict while retaining native CSS smooth scrolling; show desktop Areas inline only when the site title, navigation and actual controls fit. Otherwise use the same Bootstrap Areas disclosure, without changing the Pages sidebar breakpoint. Long titles truncate only when necessary, retaining their accessible name. Recalculate after viewport, font and header-content changes; clear open state, overlay and hidden focus when changing presentation.
Owner: Askr Lead; primary writer: this local task in the registered child checkout. Semantic state: CONVERGING; delivery endpoint: LOCAL CANDIDATE and preview. No release, PR mutation, root pins, consumer or infrastructure edits, or durable tests are assigned. Record changes in an English CHANGELOG with an Unreleased section and a factual 0.6.0 summary; future PR/Release summaries derive from it, not a second release-notes authority.
Observe executed Figures output (RequireJS remains, no mismatch, working navigation, diagram and viewer). Use temporary consumers with generic long titles/Areas, with/without version selector and Logout. Inspect desktop, tablet, phone, light/dark and the actual fit boundary; operate every header control, Escape, keyboard, link selection and resizing while Areas is open. Rendered browser geometry/state and console are the observation authority; source/build success alone does not establish these outcomes. Record findings in VALIDATION; no private consumer payload enters the repository.
Candidate behavior and failure boundaries
The candidate supplies local fonts/icons, Quartz-on-Quarto light and dark tokens, accessible focus, and native Quarto callout styling. It does not replace Quarto collapse, navigation, highlighting, copying, execution, or rendering runtimes. If the extension cannot be resolved by Quarto, a consumer must fix its extension reference; it must not silently fall back to a remotely hosted asset or a Quartz runtime. Callout type determines color independent of nesting depth. The five Quarto-native types are reproduced within their DOM boundary; Quartz’s additional twelve-family showcase/aliases are not exposed because doing so would require a new authoring syntax transformer or public contract.
Exclusions
No tests are written while this scope is CONVERGING. A merge from develop into main renders this gallery and publishes it to GitHub Pages. Askr does not deploy a consumer’s site. It also does not provide analytics, a separate search engine, graphs, backlinks, hover previews, robots, emoji, consumer APIs, or scientific execution policy. The theme styles Quarto’s native overlay search. A website turns that control on with search.location: navbar and search.type: overlay. This gallery does that.
Validation endpoint
Render this gallery and a clean consumer that installs the reviewed version tag, including a documented Sass override. Inspect desktop/mobile and light/dark native Quarto behavior, focus, overflow, callout nesting/collapse, navigation, TOC and code-copy. Record factual outcomes in VALIDATION.md; those findings are not Human acceptance gates.
Consolidated visual regression checklist
Before a final candidate review, inspect the native Quarto surface in this order: Callout geometry/rhythm (including nested and collapsed forms), Header alignment and toggle visibility, Layout tracks with and without a TOC plus mobile, Divider hierarchy, Typography rhythm, Code surface/overflow/copy, then the combined light/dark system. This checklist is a CONVERGING review aid, not an automated test suite or acceptance gate.
