Alex Dunmow 885dd372e7 feat(lcars): Wave A theme rebuild — sci-fi podcast persona (WO-TF-020)
Full LCARS library-computer interface for a sci-fi podcast/media outfit.
Codeless .bnp. Re-skins every mandatory builtin inside LCARS framing and
ships the full Wave A surface.

- 49 mandatory template overrides (chrome, marketing, primitives, commerce,
  blog family, auth, page-suggestions), field-faithful re-skins of the frozen
  builtin defaults; identity carried by the lcars-* class system.
- 8 page templates (default+sidebar rail, full-width, full-display, landing,
  article, blog-index, contact, auth) with elbow-frame chrome.
- 4 persona blocks: episode_console, crew_roster, stardate_log,
  transmission_status. Legacy lcars_header/sidebar/panel removed (now overrides
  + page chrome).
- 5 dual-mode presets (canonical black + daylight-ops cream), all 19 tokens.
- Bundled Antonio + Share Tech Mono (OFL); email-safe LCARS wrapper.
- Seed "Subspace Signal": home, about, 3 episodes+articles, contact
  (hail_signals table + row_inserted email-admins workflow), login.
- GO BIG motion: dependency-free canvas panel-sweep on the hero (lazy-init,
  reduced-motion static frame, no-JS fallback).

Build + check-safety green. Visual UNVERIFIED until Wave B. Known frozen-cms
limits (contract §11 auth/404 non-dispatch, §12 provider-backed empty lists)
authored faithfully.

# LCARS — recommended fonts
This theme **bundles** two libre families (OFL-1.1) so it renders on-brand with
no admin setup:
| Slot | Bundled family | Role |
|------|----------------|------|
| Heading | **Antonio** | Tall condensed grotesque for LCARS labels, headings, buttons, and nav pills. |
| Body | **Antonio** | Same family for panel copy; condensed and legible at reading sizes. |
| Mono | **Share Tech Mono** | Numeric readouts, stardate stamps, statistics, prices, metadata. Tabular by design. |
Bundled files live in `assets/fonts/` (latin subsets); licenses in
`assets/fonts/LICENSES.md`. The theme CSS resolves every family through
`var(--font-heading | --font-body | --font-mono, <fallback>)`, and the fallback
stacks name the bundled families, so the identity holds even before an admin
touches the typography panel.
## Optional upgrade — Roboto Condensed for body (Google Fonts tab)
The locked direction pairs Antonio labels with **Roboto Condensed** (Apache-2.0)
for longer readout copy. Roboto Condensed is not bundled here (no libre woff2 was
available in the workspace at build time), so the body fallback stack degrades to
Antonio then a system condensed sans (`"Arial Narrow", system-ui`). To match the
locked direction exactly, assign Roboto Condensed to the **Body** slot from the
Google Fonts tab:
| Slot | Source | Family | Why |
|------|--------|--------|-----|
| Body | `google:Roboto Condensed` | Roboto Condensed | The locked body face for readout copy. Wider aperture than Antonio at small sizes. |
| Mono | `google:Share Tech Mono` | Share Tech Mono | Already bundled; also available in the picker if you prefer the Google source. |
## How to apply an override
1. Open **Admin → Theme → Typography**.
2. Switch to the **Google Fonts** tab.
3. Search and pick the family.
4. Assign it to the matching slot (Heading / Body / Mono).
5. Save. The pick is stored as `google:<Family>` and binds the `--font-*`
variable, overriding the bundled fallback.
