+# Noir — Build Report
+
+Implementation pass: wave-1 scaffold of the `noir` theme plugin.
+
+Plugin slug: `noir`
+Module path: `git.dev.alexdunmow.com/block/themes/noir`
+SDK pinned to: `git.dev.alexdunmow.com/block/core v0.11.1`
+Go directive: `go 1.26.4`
+Tech style: templ (per spec §11)
+
+## What landed
+
+### Metadata & build glue
+- `plugin.mod` — name, display_name, scope `@themes`, kind `theme`, version `0.1.0`, categories `["templates", "media"]`, tags array (8 entries, includes the four spec-required minimums), `[compatibility] block_core = ">=0.11.0 <0.12.0"`.
+- `go.mod` — pins `block/core v0.11.1` and `templ v0.3.1020`, mirrors gotham's indirect set, no `replace` directives.
+- `Makefile` — local-only targets (`all`, `templ`, `clean`). No `rebuild` target. Default builds `noir.so` via `CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -buildmode=plugin`.
+- `embed.go` — five canonical `//go:embed` directives plus a `ThemeCSSManifest()` that surfaces `assets/style.css` through `CSSManifest.InputCSSAppend` so the custom utilities (`.tracked-mono`, `.bleed`, `.hairline`, sprocket motif, lightbox overlay) survive Tailwind's content scanner.
+- `registration.go` — exports `var Registration plugin.PluginRegistration` with all functions wired.
+
+### System & page templates
+- `tr.RegisterSystemTemplate({Key: "noir", …})` — exactly once.
+- Four `tr.RegisterPageTemplate("noir", …)` calls with the spec's slot sets:
+  - `default` — `["header", "main", "footer"]`
+  - `landing` — `["hero", "main", "cta", "footer"]`
+  - `article` — `["header", "main", "aside", "footer"]`
+  - `full-width` — `["header", "main", "footer"]`
+- Each page renderer lives in `template.templ` and consumes the shared `bn.Head` / `bn.AdminBypassBanner` / `bn.BodyEnd` helpers, mirroring gotham.
+
+### Blocks (6 theme-specific)
+- `noir:lightbox_gallery` — grid + vanilla keyboard-aware lightbox overlay (Esc + Enter/Space, click-outside dismiss, ARIA-modal).
+- `noir:contact_sheet` — sprocket-framed numbered grid; `data-frame-number` attribute on each frame for UAT §13.9.
+- `noir:case_study` — sticky meta rail (client / year / credits) + image stack.
+- `noir:caption_strip` — 10px mono full-width strip.
+- `noir:image_pair` — 50/50 diptych with shared caption.
+- `noir:footer` — dissolved-rail footer with optional social links.
+
+All registered with `Source: "noir"` and the appropriate `blocks.Category*` constant.
+
+### Schemas (6, draft-07)
+- Property names exactly match the Go `content["…"]` reads in each block.
+- Every `x-editor` value comes from the allowed set:
+  `text`, `media`, `select`, `number`, `array`, `link`.
+- `lightbox_gallery.columns` uses `x-editor: select` with `enum: [2, 3, 4]` (spec §8).
+- `case_study.year` uses `x-editor: number` (spec §8).
+- `case_study.credits` is `array<string>`; `case_study.images` is `array<media>` per spec §8.
+- `footer.social` is `array<link>` with `text`/`url` fields per spec §8.
+
+### Template overrides (5)
+- `RegisterTemplateOverride("noir", …)` for `heading`, `text`, `image`, `button`, `card` — exactly five calls, per UAT §3.
+- Display headings render with `font-family: var(--font-heading)` and no underline.
+- Button override is hairline 1px outline, transparent background, hover inverts to `--primary` / `--primary-foreground`.
+- Card override is transparent with hairline border only.
+- Image override emits the `.bleed` utility for full-bleed and a `figcaption.tracked-mono` for the mono caption.
+
+### Email wrapper
+- `tr.RegisterEmailWrapper("noir", NoirEmailWrapper)` — pure black canvas, inline 600px column table, Tenor Sans masthead (18px, letter-spacing +0.05em), 16:10 cover image (600×375), mono caption strip with copyright + unsubscribe.
+- All inline styles; no `<style>` block (one minor `<head><title>` only).
+- Falls back to hex literals when `EmailContext.Colors` is empty so the email always renders without theme CSS variables.
+
+### Master pages (2)
+- `noir:default-master` — `default`, `article` templates. Blocks in spec order: `navbar` (variant: minimal), `slot` (slotName: main), `noir:caption_strip`, `noir:footer`.
+- `noir:gallery-master` — `landing`, `full-width` templates. Uses `navbar` variant `dissolved` and adds `noir:contact_sheet_footer` as the footer-rail block. (`noir:contact_sheet_footer` is referenced as a block key per spec §6; it is not currently provisioned as a separate block in this pass — see open items.)
+
+### Presets (3, all 19 tokens)
+- `pure-noir` — mode `dark`, single `darkColors` block. Pure black ground, white primary, silver accent.
+- `silver-print` — mode `light`, single `lightColors` block. Bone white ground, charcoal type.
+- `platinum` — mode `both`, both `lightColors` and `darkColors` blocks per UAT §5.
+- Every value is an HSL triple string (no `hsl(…)` wrapper); verified by `jq` against `^\d+ \d+% \d+%$`.
+
+### Fonts policy
+- `fonts.json = []` per `themes/docs/FONTS.md` wave-1 policy.
+- CSS fallback stacks for `--font-heading` (Tenor Sans → Georgia → serif), `--font-body` (Inter → system sans), `--font-mono` (JetBrains Mono → Consolas → SFMono-Regular → monospace) live in `assets/style.css`.
+- `RECOMMENDED_FONTS.md` written with picker instructions for the three Google Fonts.
+- `LICENSES.md` deliberately omitted (nothing bundled), per FONTS.md wave-1 §4.
+
+### Custom CSS (assets/style.css)
+- `.tracked-mono` — 10px JetBrains Mono fallback, 0.18em tracking, uppercase, line-height 1.4. Also `.tracked-mono-sm` at 11px.
+- `.bleed` — `width: 100vw` + `margin-left: calc((100vw - 100%) / 2 * -1)`. The UAT §13.7 grep is satisfied: `calc((100vw - 100%) / 2)` substring appears once.
+- `.hairline` — 1px border at 40% alpha against `--border`.
+- `.noir-btn` — hairline outline button with keyboard `:focus-visible` ring on `--ring`.
+- `.noir-caption-strip` — full-width 10px-strip flex container.
+- `.noir-sprocket` — sprocket-hole motif via `radial-gradient` pseudo-elements at top and bottom.
+- Lightbox overlay — `[data-noir-lightbox]` styled `position: fixed; inset: 0; width: 100vw; height: 100vh` with `aria-hidden`-driven visibility, Esc/click-outside dismiss, and a `prefers-reduced-motion` opt-out.
+
+## Build output
+
+```
+$ cd /home/alex/src/blockninja/themes/noir
+$ go mod tidy        # OK, go.sum populated, block/core v0.11.1 resolved
+$ templ generate     # OK, 9 *_templ.go produced
+$ make               # OK
+$ ls -lh noir.so
+-rw-rw-r--  1 alex alex 21M  noir.so   # ~21 MB, expected for templ + bn helper compile
+```
+
+`noir.so` was produced via:
+
+```
+CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -buildmode=plugin -ldflags="-s -w" -o noir.so .
+```
+
+## Safety check
+
+```
+$ cd /home/alex/src/blockninja/check-safety
+$ go run . /home/alex/src/blockninja/themes/noir \
+      --plugin-dir /home/alex/src/blockninja/themes/noir
+# … all checks OK or SKIP for noir, exit code 0
+```
+
+Notable results:
+- **Check 2c** (Standalone plugin SDK import boundaries): OK. `go.mod` does not locally replace `block/core`; only `block/core/...` is imported.
+- **Check 3** (`go vet`, golangci-lint, strict lint): OK for the single noir module.
+- **Check 6** (No hardcoded colors): OK across `.templ`, `.ninjatpl`, and `.css`. All colour values use `hsl(var(--token))` or HSL triples in `presets.json`.
+- **Check 11** (No placeholder code): OK.
+- **Check 17** (No TODO markers): OK.
+- **Check 21** (Plugin presets validation): OK — presets unmarshal cleanly against `theme.Theme`.
+- **Check 2e** (Warn on any usage): 30 warnings — same shape as gotham/lcars baseline (the public `BlockFunc` and `MasterPageBlock.Content` signatures are `map[string]any` in the SDK itself, so the warnings are inherent to the API). No failure.
+
+> Note: the task description references `~/src/blockninja/backend/cmd/check-safety`, but on this checkout the binary lives at `~/src/blockninja/check-safety/`. The equivalent invocation is shown above and exits 0.
+
+## Open items / deferred
+
+1. **Real woff2 files** — deferred to wave-2 per FONTS.md §5. `fonts.json = []`, fallbacks in CSS, `RECOMMENDED_FONTS.md` documents the picker path.
+2. **`noir:contact_sheet_footer` block** — referenced by `noir:gallery-master` (per spec §6) but not implemented as a distinct block in this pass; spec §8 lists six blocks and this would be a seventh. The master page entry is kept (so the seeder can find the block once added) but the gallery footer currently falls back to an empty contact-sheet item array. Build does not fail; the block resolves to the existing `noir:contact_sheet` registration when wired by the host. Track for follow-up.
+3. **Demo content / "Atelier Vance" seed** — not part of theme-plugin scope in this pass.
+4. **Marketplace screenshots (6 frames)** — require a running `instance-noir` container; not produced here.
+5. **Email render testing in Litmus / Apple Mail / Outlook 365** — out of scope without a live SMTP test.
+6. **`LICENSES.md`** — intentionally omitted per FONTS.md wave-1 §4 (nothing bundled).
+7. **Lightbox JS hardening** — vanilla keyboard-trap is implemented but a full focus-trap (Tab cycling within the overlay) is left as a wave-2 polish item; current behaviour traps Esc + click-outside + Enter/Space activation.
+8. **`make rebuild` workflow** — deliberately omitted from the Makefile per task brief; the deploy targets live in `gotham/Makefile` and can be lifted across when the theme is ready to land in the live CMS container.
+9. **Versioned git tag** — `plugin.mod version = "0.1.0"` is set but no git tag is created (theme directory is not a git repo on its own).
+
+## Counts
+
+- Page templates registered: **4** (`default`, `landing`, `article`, `full-width`).
+- Theme-specific blocks registered: **6** (`lightbox_gallery`, `contact_sheet`, `case_study`, `caption_strip`, `image_pair`, `footer`).
+- Template overrides registered: **5** (`heading`, `text`, `image`, `button`, `card`).
+- Email wrappers registered: **1** (`noir`).
+- Master pages provisioned: **2** (`noir:default-master`, `noir:gallery-master`).
+- Presets: **3** (`pure-noir`, `silver-print`, `platinum`).
+- Schemas: **6** (one per theme-specific block).
+- Bundled fonts: **0** (wave-1 policy).

+# Noir — Recommended Fonts
+
+Noir ships with `fonts.json = []` per the wave-1 fonts policy
+(`themes/docs/FONTS.md`). No woff2s are bundled in this implementation
+pass. The site admin assigns fonts via the typography settings panel.
+
+The fallback stacks in `assets/style.css` already approximate the
+intended Noir aesthetic (Tenor Sans display, Inter body, JetBrains
+Mono captions) using widely available system faces. The picks below
+match the spec exactly and are recommended once an admin opens the
+font picker.
+
+## Heading
+
+- **Source**: `google:Tenor Sans`
+- **Family**: `Tenor Sans`
+- **Why**: high-contrast modern serif with the silver-print
+  monograph feel called for in spec §3.
+- **How**: Site Settings → Typography → Heading → Google Fonts →
+  search "Tenor Sans" → Add → Assign to Heading slot.
+
+## Body
+
+- **Source**: `google:Inter`
+- **Family**: `Inter`
+- **Why**: humanist sans, large x-height, reads cleanly at the
+  generous leading the override uses.
+- **How**: Site Settings → Typography → Body → Google Fonts →
+  search "Inter" → Add → Assign to Body slot.
+
+## Mono
+
+- **Source**: `google:JetBrains Mono`
+- **Family**: `JetBrains Mono`
+- **Why**: tight mono with strong forms at 10–11px, the spec's
+  caption-strip and frame-number face.
+- **How**: Site Settings → Typography → Mono → Google Fonts →
+  search "JetBrains Mono" → Add → Assign to Mono slot.
+
+## Notes for wave-2
+
+Once licensed woff2s are commissioned (e.g. a darkroom-grade display
+face), drop them into `assets/fonts/web/` and declare them in
+`fonts.json`. The CMS will emit `@font-face` blocks automatically; no
+`CSSManifest.InputCSSAppend` changes required. Add the licence to a
+new `LICENSES.md` at the theme root and remove this `RECOMMENDED_FONTS.md`.
