Summary

This is the design record for the brand-parity pass on Compass (RIG-4774, part of epic RIG-4770): docs/designs/ui/compass-brand-parity/design.md. It adds ledger rows DL-418 to DL-425, DL-430, DL-437 and DL-438.

What it covers

  • T1 fonts: Compass loads its own brand faces. Today no FontFace is loaded.
  • T2a corners: square corners. Today there are 57 token uses and 26 literal radii.
  • T2b surfaces and lines (DL-437): chrome on --cx-bg, heads on panel, in-pane lines night-2, every pane edge on --cx-border-strong (selection).
  • T9 color hierarchy: the site's greens, and hierarchy by color instead of weight.
  • T3 status icons:
  • T4 glyph: the site's glyph cells, drawn at 2× scale.
  • T5 agent tree (DL-422): a main view at /agents, first in the sidebar and the palette.
  • T6 message anatomy.
  • T7 text entry: text fields and the composer use the shared input primitives.
  • T8 needle mark (DL-425): the needle alone at 24px replaces the "Compass" text in the topbar; its accessible name stays "Compass".
  • T10 Backlog and Done (RIG-4776, DL-438): Bridge segments Issues | PRs | Backlog · N | Done; /backlog and /done render the Bridge; the sidebar loses both links.

A design-critic pass ran on this record, and its findings are folded in.

Matt's rulings (2026-10-08, RIG-4820)

  1. Surfaces and lines: (c) hybrid.
  2. Agent tree: (a) main view at /agents.
  3. Cold-start seed: (a) none.
  4. Needle mark: (a), and it replaces the plain-text name.
  5. Backlog and Done: (a) Bridge segments.

Sequencing

Verification

  • rumdl is clean.
  • design-ledger-gate is OK: 389 rows, 159 records.
  • Docs only; no code changes.

Design record for matching Compass to rigel.build: brand faces, square
corners, site greens and color hierarchy, status-glyph data path and
cells, message anatomy, text-entry primitives, the needle mark, the
surface/line model, and the agent tree view. Four open questions for Matt.

Last-opened time recorded on any agent focus; six unimported primitives;
tab-strip.css and boot-styles.ts in the corner sweep; OQ4 names the
surfaces.md mark rule; duplicate facts cut.

DECISIONS.md is now one front-matter file per decision under
docs/designs/decisions/; the rows this record added move there unchanged.

Review at head f16624f

Result: clean. High 0, medium 0, low 0.

Scope: the commit that moves this record's decisions into per-decision files (DL-418..425, 430, 437, 438) after #2005 split DECISIONS.md, plus the rebase onto main 2442f58. The design.md content was reviewed earlier (Review4774Fold, clean).

Check Result
Each file's decision/status text matches its old table row (after | unescape); no row missing, no extra file pass
Each record: path and anchor resolves to a heading (gate's slug logic) pass
Front matter matches decisions/README.md key order and quoting (compared with DL-416) pass
No remaining DECISIONS.md edit or link in the branch pass
design-ledger-gate OK, 395 decision files
rumdl on the new files clean
