Shipped record: palette drift, Phase 2, Phase 3

Companion to nielsen-audit.md, which is the live audit grid and the list of what is still open. This file is the history: work that is done, kept because the decisions in it are load-bearing — the two deliberate exceptions below exist so nobody "fixes" them back, and the corrections found by measuring are why the current plan differs from the original one.

Same convention as phase3-record.md, which records the web phase in the same way.

Flutter — palette drift: DONE 2026-08-14

Standing decision: every app uses exactly the frozen palette; where copies disagree, the most popular wins. That was unambiguous — 9 of 10 theme files already used the gold #B8862E family. All four drifted repos are migrated.

Repo	Drift that was fixed	How
testsAndMisc/focus_owner	entirely off-palette: cool #5B9DD9 accent, #1B1D21 field, #D9776B danger. Its doc comment claimed it matched the other com.kuhy.* apps; it did not. The same six constants were also duplicated verbatim in main.dart:16-21 — the file said they had been "lifted out", but the originals were never deleted.	theme.dart now aliases AppPalette, so the ~80 call sites keep their names; both copies gone. Literals 15 → 2 (Colors.transparent). Verified on the Pixel 6a.
kuhylog	the only repo using ColorScheme.fromSeed (blue #3B82F6) — the opposite of what every other theme file documents.	KuhylogTheme.of() delegates to buildLightTheme/buildDarkTheme. Kept as a wrapper for its visualDensity, flat cardTheme and scoreColor. Literals 1 → 0.
epopeja_karta	ColorScheme inlined in app.dart, no theme.dart.	Imports tokens only — see below. Literals 9 → 0.
billsplit	ColorScheme.fromSeed(Colors.teal) plus 15 ad hoc literals that mostly bypassed the theme entirely.	buildLightTheme(); error family → error/onError/errorContainer, muted text → onSurfaceVariant. Literals 15 → 4.
diet-guard, macro-cam	scales drifted from the six-repo consensus	still outstanding — adopt design_system

Two deliberate exceptions, so nobody "fixes" them back:

• epopeja_karta adopts AppPalette, not buildDarkTheme(). Its nine slots were already byte-identical to the frozen palette, so only the transcription was local. It is one dense screen with a test asserting nothing scrolls, and the shared theme's larger type scale plus dividerTheme.space overflows it by 34px. Typography there is a product decision; colour is the identity, and colour is what the system owns. Importing tokens leaves the rendered ThemeData identical, so the no-scroll test passes by construction rather than by hitting a pixel target.
• billsplit keeps its four category-dot colours (deepOrange/amber/ blueGrey/teal for alcohol/mixer/deposit/other). They encode category identity, not a theme role, and a single-accent system has no four distinct hues to lend. Folding them into primary/secondary/tertiary would make the categories stop being distinguishable, which is their only job. This is the open categorical-ramp question — the design system currently has no answer for "N mutually distinguishable hues", and it needs one before any chart, tag or category UI can be built on it.

Remaining Flutter adopters

home_inventory, dufs-cloud, habit_stack, diet-guard, macro-cam, wake-alarm/phone_app. Each drops its local theme.dart for the tag-pinned dep, as todo, untools, focus_owner, kuhylog, epopeja_karta and billsplit now do. These six were never off-palette — they transcribe the right values by hand — so this is duplication cleanup, not a visual fix.

Phase 2 — Python/Tk (~/src/utils/gatelock), SHIPPED (gatelock 0.5.0)

Status: done. make_button, heading/row, ScrollableSurface and WidgetGroup all ship in gatelock 0.5.0 (c963cd8, d82107a, d25f288); diet-guard and leetcode-guard are the migrated proof consumers. screen-locker (v0.4.0) and wake-alarm (v0.4.1) keep local fan-out copies by design — only two consumers were bumped to avoid restarting live systemd services. That asymmetry is not a regression; do not "fix" it. Everything below this line is the original plan, kept as the record of why.

Not a new package: gatelock already owns the tokens (LockConfig), the Tk plumbing and 4 consumers. Add composite widgets, which is where its scope currently stops.

1. widgets.py::make_button — canonical is diet-guard's _gatelock_buttons.py::make_button, whose variant API picks text color from the fill and so structurally prevents the fg-vs-on_fill contrast bug. leetcode-guard's _button (no <Return> binding) and screen-locker's inline tk.Button are the regressions being retired.
2. widgets.py::heading() / row() — from leetcode_guard/_status_sections.py.
3. Export the existing ScrollableSurface and delete leetcode_guard/status_view.py::_scrollable, a hand-rolled reimplementation that lost takefocus and the focus ring. Straight accessibility repair.
4. widget_group.py::WidgetGroup — the per-output fan-out reimplemented 4× (~916 lines: screen-locker 173, leetcode-guard 105, diet-guard 309, wake-alarm 329). Highest line-count win on this stack.

Proof consumers: diet-guard and leetcode-guard (donor and worst offender). Bump only those two; leave screen-locker and wake-alarm on their current pin — Phase 2 is additive, and restarting live services is blast radius for no gain.

Verification gate — non-negotiable. gatelock backs live systemd services. After any change: /usr/bin/python3 -c "import gatelock" against the real interpreter, not a dev venv. Do not touch the gate window's grab path. Then launch each gate under xvfb-run -s "-screen 0 1366x768x24" and confirm buttons render and <Return> activates them.

Phase 3 — TypeScript (~/src/utils/web_ui), SHIPPED (web_ui-v0.3.1)

Status: done — see phase3-record.md for what shipped and, importantly, why FilterBar was not extracted (a name collision, not a duplicate). Both proof consumers (dufs-cloud, awesome-mcp-explorer) are migrated. Everything below this line is the original plan, kept as the record of why.

Lowest confirmed duplication (2 components, 2 repos) and the only stack needing a brand-new consumption mechanism, so it carries the worst effort-to-payoff ratio — sequenced last on purpose.

1. tokens.css — one :root block. Fixes the worst fork found: 7 repos define 7 different vocabularies for the same palette (--surface-1 vs --panel vs --card; --text vs --ink vs --fg vs --bone; spacing as --space-N vs --sp-N vs --sp-xs). europe-county-map and iron-and-anvil have zero custom properties.
2. RangeSlider — canonical is dufs-cloud's, whose pure fractionFromPointer(rect, clientX) is testable without layout (jsdom has none). awesome-mcp-explorer's copy has drifted 196 lines.
3. FilterBar + filter-sort.ts — reconcile dufs-cloud (174) vs awesome-mcp-explorer (225).

Consumption mechanism (decided 2026-08-14): a git dep "@kuhyx/web-ui": "github:kuhyx/utils#web_ui-v0.1.0", matching the Dart/Python tag convention rather than introducing npm workspaces — but shipping a prebuilt dist/ (tsc → ESM + .d.ts) committed in the tag. Raw .tsx in node_modules would need per-repo bundler config, since Vite does not transpile dependencies by default; a committed dist/ keeps consumers at zero config.

Proof consumers: dufs-cloud and awesome-mcp-explorer.
