/* ============================================================================= ANNOUNCEMENT CARDS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The toast system LAB DMT works in, carried across to domainchaos.com. LAB DMT is a standalone file and keeps its own inline copy; labs.llc extracted it so audio.html and chess.html could share one. This is that extraction, with one change of polarity described below — it is a port of the behaviour, not a refactor of it. Set as the rest of the site is: hairline card, eyebrow label, value underneath. The one departure is a shadow. A floating layer has to separate itself from whatever it is covering, and on paper a border alone does not do that. WHY A CARD AND NOT A LINE OF TEXT. This page answers every input by changing something on screen, and most of those changes are one word inside a dense strip — a set that lights, a slider that ticks over, a status chip that rewrites itself faster than you can read it. The card says what the control was and what value it arrived at, which is the part the screen does not say. OFF BY DEFAULT. The results themselves are enough for most people, and a page that narrates itself uninvited is a page that is talking over you. The exceptions are marked `always` at the call site: outcomes with no other surface anywhere on the page — a WHOIS lookup that could not reach the registry, a batch that was cancelled — where silence would be a bug rather than calm. Bottom-right on a desktop, so it never sits over the results column; hugging the right along the bottom on a phone, where there is no side to spare. THE TOKENS. Every value below is a --tst-* custom property so the two editions can repoint them without a second copy of the layout. THE POLARITY IS THE OTHER WAY ROUND HERE. In the labs tree the dark set is the default and html[data-edition="paper"] overrides it, because those pages are dark documents with a paper edition generated from them. On this site the paper edition is the source and the canonical one, so the default set below is the paper set and html[data-dark] does the overriding — the same rule the rest of this build follows, which is that the override sheet is the one that answers for the derived edition and never for the source. ========================================================================== */ :root { --tst-bg: #ffffff; --tst-line: rgba(30, 38, 43, .16); --tst-line-soft: rgba(30, 38, 43, .07); --tst-ink: #1E262B; --tst-dim: rgba(30, 38, 43, .60); --tst-faint: rgba(30, 38, 43, .42); --tst-accent: #C2410C; /* The only elevation shadow the paper edition allows, because a floating layer that does not separate from what it covers is unreadable at any ink weight. */ --tst-shadow: 0 10px 30px rgba(30, 38, 43, .13), 0 2px 6px rgba(30, 38, 43, .07); --tst-mono: ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Consolas, 'Roboto Mono', monospace; --tst-ease: cubic-bezier(.22, .61, .36, 1); } /* Above the menu, which is 200.

These are the values LAB DMT itself runs at, which is where this component started — the paper set above is the port and this is the original. R2 applies to the shadow as much as to the washes: a drop shadow on paper is a soft grey at 13%, and the same shadow on the deep ground is invisible, so the dark card leans on a heavier black and its own hairline rather than on separation by shade alone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ html[data-dark] { --tst-bg: #14161a; --tst-line: rgba(255, 255, 255, .15); --tst-line-soft: rgba(255, 255, 255, .08); --tst-ink: #e9ebee; --tst-dim: rgba(233, 235, 238, .58); --tst-faint: rgba(233, 235, 238, .34); --tst-accent: #ff8800; --tst-shadow: 0 12px 34px rgba(0, 0, 0, .55), 0 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, .40); } html[data-dark] .toast { border-radius: 12px; } @media (max-width: 720px) { html[data-dark] .toast { border-radius: 10px; } }
