# Cameleer3 Design System — Specification

**Date:** 2026-03-18
**Status:** Draft
**Scope:** Standalone React design system with full component library, theming, and page layouts

---

## 1. Overview

Build a React-based design system for the Cameleer3 operations dashboard. The system follows a shadcn/ui-like approach: all components are owned by the project, composable, and have no external UI library dependencies. Components are styled with CSS Modules + CSS custom properties, supporting light and dark themes.

The design language is derived from existing HTML mockups (`ui-mocks/`) and the live application's user management UI. Key characteristics:
- Warm parchment surfaces (not cold white/gray)
- Warm charcoal sidebar
- Amber-gold brand accent
- DM Sans body + JetBrains Mono data typography
- Warm status colors (olive green, burnt orange, terracotta, teal)
- Deterministic badge/avatar colors derived from name hashing

### Goals
- Standalone layouts that work without a server (mock data)
- Light theme first, dark theme support built in from the start
- Reusable primitives that compose into dashboard pages
- Visual parity with existing mockups and live application

### Non-Goals
- Server integration, API calls, real-time data
- Authentication / authorization flows
- Mobile responsiveness (dashboard targets 1920px desktop)

|-----------------|---------------------------------|
| Framework       | React 18+ with TypeScript       |
| Build tool      | Vite                            |
| Routing         | React Router v6                 |
| Styling         | CSS Modules + CSS custom properties |
| Fonts           | DM Sans (body), JetBrains Mono (data) |

## 3. Theming Architecture

### 3.1 Design Tokens

All visual properties are defined as CSS custom properties in `tokens.css`. Two rule blocks:

- `:root` — light theme (default)
- `[data-theme="dark"]` — dark theme overrides

Token categories:

```
Surface:    --bg-body, --bg-surface, --bg-raised, --bg-inset, --bg-hover
Sidebar:    --sidebar-bg, --sidebar-hover, --sidebar-active, --sidebar-text, --sidebar-muted
Text:       --text-primary, --text-secondary, --text-muted, --text-faint
Borders:    --border, --border-subtle
Brand:      --amber, --amber-light, --amber-bg, --amber-deep
Status:     --success, --success-bg, --success-border
            --warning, --warning-bg, --warning-border
            --error, --error-bg, --error-border
            --running, --running-bg, --running-border
Typography: --font-body, --font-mono
Spacing:    --radius-sm (5px), --radius-md (8px), --radius-lg (12px)
Shadows:    --shadow-sm, --shadow-md, --shadow-lg, --shadow-card
Chart:      --chart-1 through --chart-8 (amber, olive, teal, burnt orange,
            deep amber, sage, terracotta, gold) — used for multi-series
            charts and sparklines
```

**Semantic color naming convention:** Components use semantic variant names that map to tokens:
- `primary` → `--amber` tokens
- `success` → `--success` tokens
- `warning` → `--warning` tokens
- `error` → `--error` tokens
- `running` → `--running` tokens (teal, for in-progress/active states)

This convention applies to all components with color/accent props (Card, Badge, StatusDot, FilterPill, InfoCallout, etc.). No mixing of token-level names (`teal`, `green`) with semantic names.

Light theme values are taken directly from `mock-v2-light.html` `:root` block.

**Dark theme strategy:** The existing `mock-v2-dark.html` is considered "too colorful" and will not be used as-is. The dark theme will be a muted redesign that:
- Reuses the same token names as light (no separate `--bg-deep` / `--bg-base`)
- Inverts lightness and reduces saturation
- Drops glow tokens (`--amber-glow`, `--success-glow`, etc.) — these are not canonical
- Uses the same `--radius-sm: 5px` value (the dark mock's 6px was unintentional)
- All dark overrides go in a single `[data-theme="dark"]` block remapping the same variable names

### 3.2 Deterministic Color Hashing

A `hashColor(name: string)` utility generates consistent HSL colors from any string:

1. Compute FNV-1a hash of the input name (synchronous, fast, good distribution)
2. Take hash modulo 360 → hue angle
3. Light theme: `hsl(hue, 45%, 92%)` background, `hsl(hue, 55%, 35%)` text
4. Dark theme: `hsl(hue, 35%, 20%)` background, `hsl(hue, 45%, 75%)` text

FNV-1a is chosen over SHA-256 because it is synchronous (no `crypto.subtle` async), lightweight (~10 lines), and provides sufficient distribution for color bucketing.

Used by `Badge` and `Avatar` components when no explicit color variant is provided.

### 3.3 Theme Switching

- `ThemeProvider` React context stores `'light' | 'dark'`
- Persisted to `localStorage`
- Toggling sets `document.documentElement.dataset.theme`
- All components reference tokens — no component-level theme logic needed

## 5. Component Specifications

### 5.1 Foundations

#### `tokens.css`
All CSS custom properties for both themes. Light values sourced from `mock-v2-light.html`. See Section 3.1 for full token list.

#### `reset.css`
- Box-sizing border-box
- Custom scrollbar (6px, warm tones)
- Base font: DM Sans 14px, line-height 1.5
- Anti-aliased rendering
- `html { font-size: 14px; }`

#### `hashColor.ts`
- `hashColor(name: string): { bg: string; text: string; border: string }`
- Returns CSS color strings appropriate for current theme
- Uses a synchronous hash (FNV-1a) for hue mapping — SHA-256 is asynchronous in browsers and overkill for color bucketing (see Section 3.2)

### 5.2 Primitives

  4. Divider
  5. Routes section: "Routes" header + indented MenuItem list
  6. Agent health section: header with badge ("4/4 live") + agent items (dot, name, version, tps, last-seen)
  7. Bottom: Admin, API Docs links

## 6. Pages

Pages compose design system components with mock data. Each page is a route.

| Route              | Page             | Description                                      |
|--------------------|------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| `/`                | Dashboard        | Main operations view from `mock-v2-light.html`   |
| `/metrics`         | Metrics          | KPI dashboard from `mock-v3-metrics-dashboard`   |
| `/routes/:id`      | RouteDetail      | Per-route stats from `mock-v3-route-detail`      |
| `/exchanges/:id`   | ExchangeDetail   | Message inspector from `mock-v3-exchange-detail` |
| `/agents`          | AgentHealth      | Agent monitoring from `mock-v3-agent-health`     |
| `/inventory`       | Inventory        | Component showcase with live interactive demos   |

Pages are built after the design system layer is complete.

## 7. Mock Data

Static TypeScript objects in `src/mocks/` providing realistic data matching the HTML mockups:

- `exchanges.ts` — exchange rows with status, duration, order IDs, error messages
- `routes.ts` — route definitions with processor lists
- `agents.ts` — agent health data (name, version, status, tps, last-seen)
- `metrics.ts` — KPI values, chart data points

All data is imported directly by pages — no fetch calls, no loading states needed for standalone mode.

## 8. Implementation Order

1. **Project scaffold** — Vite + React + TypeScript + React Router + CSS Modules config
2. **Foundations** — `tokens.css`, `reset.css`, `hashColor.ts`, `ThemeProvider`
3. **Primitives** — all primitive components (can be built in parallel)
4. **Composites** — DataTable, CommandPalette, FilterBar, DetailPanel, etc.
5. **Layout** — AppShell, Sidebar, TopBar
6. **Mock data** — static data files
7. **Pages** — Dashboard first, then remaining pages

## 9. Design Decisions

| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| CSS Modules over Tailwind | Mocks already define a CSS variable token system; CSS Modules preserve that naturally and scope class names |
| No component library dependency | shadcn/ui-like ownership — components are part of the codebase, not an npm package |
| Light theme first | User preference; dark theme is "too colorful" in current mocks and needs a muted redesign |
| Deterministic badge colors | Existing app uses hash-based name→color mapping; design system replicates this with FNV-1a |
| 3-column layout as shell | All pages share sidebar + topbar; only main content and optional detail panel change per route |
| Mock data as TypeScript objects | Enables standalone layouts without server; type-safe; easy to replace with API calls later |
| DM Sans + JetBrains Mono | Established in existing mocks and live application |
