Part of #4041's forgotten remainder (UIVerbs was scoped as pure
execution work, no decision needed -- see comment 71586).
29 genuine input-device-neutral rewrites ("click"/"clicking"/"clicked"
-> "select"/"selecting"/"selected", a few reworded where a direct verb
swap didn't read naturally: "one click from the hub" -> "one step from
the hub", "click straight from X into Y" -> "go straight from X into
Y", "the operator never clicked" -> "the operator never triggered").
Left 5 hits unfixed, each read in context and genuinely not a
device-assumption problem:
- docs/process/gotchas.md:439 -- "click-to-unlock screen" names a
specific OS lock-screen pattern, not an instruction to the reader.
- docs/web-ui/agent.md:377 -- "clicks" describes literal RFB pointer
events forwarded by hive-screen-mcp's sendPointer, genuinely
mouse-specific.
- docs/web-ui/agent.md:78 -- "ctrl/middle-click" names a specific
keyboard-modifier + mouse-button combination with no "select"
equivalent.
- docs/web-ui/dashboard.md:741 -- explicitly contrasts "click (or
Enter/Space)" as two named input methods; replacing "click" with
"select" would conflate the two the sentence is distinguishing.
- docs/web-ui/shape.md:253 -- "swipes in from the right" describes the
panel's own slide animation, not a user touch gesture.
Verified: fresh `vale --filter '.Name == "Microsoft.UIVerbs"' docs`
after the fix shows exactly those 5, `nix fmt` reports 0 changes.
Fixes the "obvious ones first" slice of #4042 (mara: do the obvious
ones first) -- 81 hits across write-good.So, write-good.ThereIs, and
write-good.Weasel, all in docs/. Each is a genuine sentence rewrite
(lead with the real subject instead of "There is/are", drop a
sentence-initial "So ", replace a vague intensifier), not a blind
regex substitution -- read every hit in its real file context before
touching it.
3 of the 81 hits were in CI-generated CLI docs (docs/tools/{hivectl,
swarmctl,forge}-cli.md) -- fixed at the clap #[arg(...)]/doc-comment
source in hivectl/src/cli.rs, swarmctl/src/main.rs, and
hive-forge/src/verbs/repo_add_collaborator.rs, then regenerated via
each crate's `markdown-docs` subcommand so CI's freshness check stays
green.
Verified: fresh vale re-run shows 0 remaining So/ThereIs/Weasel hits
and no new hits introduced (983->982, exactly the one incidental fix
this pass also picked up at docs/scheduler/observability.md:48).
cargo fmt --check and clippy clean on the three touched crates.
Remaining write-good backlog (Passive: 726, TooWordy: 207) is
judgment-heavy and left for a follow-up slice of #4042, not bulk-
rewritten here.
Fixes 22 of 23 Microsoft.Hyphens hits: an adverb ending in -ly doesn't
need a hyphen to the word it modifies (minimally scoped, currently
running, deliberately stopped, ...) -- the -ly ending already
unambiguously signals it's modifying the following word, so the
hyphen is redundant per Microsoft style.
Left one hit alone: docs/web-ui/dashboard.md's 'checked-not-originally-
active' is a single 4-word compound designator (parallel structure
with 'unchecked-was-active' right before it in the same sentence,
describing a diffing algorithm's two possible states), not an
ordinary -ly-adverb modifier -- dropping just the one hyphen vale
flagged would have broken the compound into a dangling
'checked-not-originally active' fragment. Also rewrote
docs/scheduler/coordinator.md's 'still-fully-queued' as a predicate
('DAGs that are still fully queued') rather than leaving a similar
broken partial-hyphen chain, since 'still' and 'fully' are both plain
adverbs with no reason to hyphenate at all once dehyphenated
consistently.
Verified via vale: only the one deliberately-left hit remains.
Fixed 72 hyphenated 'auto-X' compounds across the docs by deleting
the hyphen to match Microsoft style guide (autogenerated, autoregistration,
autodiscovery, etc). Preserved original capitalization throughout.
Covered 26 documentation files in docs/, including README.md, agent-lifecycle,
integrations, scheduler, networking, process, tools, trust-boundary,
turn-loop, and web-ui sections.
Pure `nix fmt` output from the commit before this one — no hand edits.
203 files: 52 md, 42 tsx, 32 js, 32 css, 21 ts, 13 html, 8 json, 3 mjs.
Reproduce with `nix develop -c nix fmt` on the parent commit; the result
should be byte-identical to this tree.
None of the 13 `.prettierignore` entries appears here — verified by
intersecting the changed-file list against the ignore file, with a
control proving the intersection finds a match when one exists.
mara: non-interactive Badge and StatusChip render identically (same
padding/radius/font, same tone-to-color mapping) and StatusChip's
4-tone/single-label shape is a strict subset of Badge's — no real
reason to keep both. Deletes StatusChip.tsx/.css, migrates AgentsPage's
config-PR chip, HivesPage's freshness chip, and ComponentsPage's own
table-status sample to Badge (tone/value, no onClick). Also drops the
now-redundant standalone StatusChip demo section on /components (the
Badge section already covers all 4 former chip tones plus accent).
Updated the two stale StatusChip references outside swarm-ui too:
design-guide.md's component-list example and colors.css's WCAG-
contrast-rationale comment.
Adds an `icon` prop to Panel (small emoji glyph left of the title,
aria-hidden, chosen per panel with no default) and wires it into every
current Panel caller: hives (bee), create-agent's form (robot) and info
panel (identity card, moved off the info panel's body copy where it
started as a one-off), jobs (puzzle piece), the components gallery
itself (toolbox), and the 404 page (compass). Adds a components-page
demo section and a whimsy-section pointer in the design guide.
Closes: #3508
Per mara's follow-up: the doc shouldn't read as 'no dynamic colour at
all' — mixing/lighter/darker derivation is fine and matches Material's
own approach, the constraint is that every derived colour still
traces back to the base16/stylix contract, not an independent source.
Addresses all 7 line comments from her REQUEST_CHANGES review:
- drop the issue-#3444 history pointer and any issue-number tracking
refs throughout (a design guide states expectations, it isn't a
change log or a status report)
- stop naming specific rejected technical solutions (SSE/WS) for a
design constraint — state the chosen shape only
- flip the component-first heuristic: build the primitive first/
alongside its first real caller, not after — the point is giving the
next thing built ready-made blocks, not lagging behind usage
- drop the 'Open questions' section entirely — that's what the issue
thread is for, not a doc
- stop leading Visual language with 'basis: Material Design' and then
immediately carving out big exceptions — lead with what we actually
want, mention Material as a minor closing influence instead
- drop 'future work'/timeline framing everywhere (motion override,
PWA-as-future-slice, 'not shipped yet' theming caveats) — state the
target design as the expectation, not its current build status
- reworded the stylix-wins theming bullet to drop 'build time', which
reads wrong from a frontend dev's perspective (stylix supplies the
palette separately, it isn't decided by the frontend's own build)
- matrix-rain reference is in packages/dashboard/src/home.js, not
swarm-ui — cite it correctly (dashboard package) rather than implying
it lives inside this doc's own scope.
- drop FormField from the visible component-first inventory (it has no
/components demo, deliberately — a real exception to the 'every new
ui/ component gets a demo' rule stated two paragraphs later) and note
the exception explicitly instead of leaving the contradiction.
Distills the design-language discussion on #3444 into a durable
reference: visual language, motion, theming policy, data-freshness/
refresh, error UX, empty states, layout/viewport, component-first
design, and attention — plus an open-questions table pointing at the
still-unbuilt issues (#3452/#3453/#3454/#3456) instead of asserting
them as settled.
Mirrors css-vars.md's shape and links to it + to /components rather
than duplicating either. First draft for comment, not a final spec.
