plate ui changelog shadcn styling

Objective: Repair Plate UI changelog styling so the human page matches shadcn docs density, with no card-style agent panel, no raw URL wrap row, no visible agent diagnostics, and working JSON/agent affordances.

Goal plan: docs/plans/2026-06-03-plate-ui-changelog-shadcn-styling.md

Template: docs/plans/templates/docs.md

Primary template: docs/plans/templates/docs.md

Applied packs:

• browser (docs/plans/templates/packs/browser.md)

Docs source:

• type: browser comment on docs page UI
• id / link: browser comment 1 on http://localhost:3002/docs/components/changelog
• title: selected Sync with an agent section is ugly and should match shadcn
• acceptance criteria: selected section no longer renders as a framed card; page keeps npx skills add sync-plate-ui and public JSON links.

Docs lane:

• lane: workflow/AI docs surface inside Plate UI component changelog
• target docs: content/docs/components/changelog.mdx rendered by apps/www/src/components/plate-ui-changelog.tsx
• documented source owner: apps/www/src/registry/changelog/*.json loaded through apps/www/src/lib/registry-changelog.ts
• nearest sibling docs: shadcn changelog page at ../shadcn/apps/v4/app/(app)/docs/changelog/page.tsx
• plugin page: N/A: component-changelog page, not a plugin page.

Completion threshold:

• #sync-with-an-agent renders as a normal docs section with border-b, not a rounded card panel.
• Raw JSON links render as compact actions, not long wrapping URL text.
• Human changelog entries use shadcn-like article spacing and do not show agent diagnostic codes.
• Agent command and JSON routes remain present in rendered HTML.
• Focused route tests, www typecheck, lint, HTTP render proof, and autogoal checker pass.

Verification surface:

• pnpm --filter www typecheck
• pnpm --filter www exec bun test src/app/registry/changelog/index.json/route.test.ts src/app/registry/changelog/components.json/route.test.ts 'src/app/registry/changelog/[event]/route.test.ts'
• pnpm lint:fix
• HTTP proof on http://localhost:3002/docs/components/changelog
• node .agents/skills/autogoal/scripts/check-complete.mjs docs/plans/2026-06-03-plate-ui-changelog-shadcn-styling.md

Constraints:

• Follow .agents/rules/docs-creator.mdc for docs style and workflow.
• Match shadcn density; avoid decorative cards for docs structure.
• Keep current-state docs only.
• Do not invent APIs, routes, demos, imports, components, transforms, or options.
• Do not run autoreview; the user stopped autoreview earlier in this thread.
• Do not commit, push, or create a PR.

Boundaries:

• Source of truth: user browser comment plus local shadcn changelog implementation.
• Allowed edit scope: apps/www/src/components/plate-ui-changelog.tsx and this goal plan.
• Browser surface: /docs/components/changelog.
• Tracker sync: N/A: browser comment only.
• Non-goals: changelog JSON schema changes, generator changes, sync skill implementation, release wiring.

Blocked condition:

• Browser automation remains blocked if the repo-approved browser tool is unavailable; HTTP render proof is acceptable for this repair because the user can see the in-app browser page.

Docs state:

• task_type: docs UI repair
• task_complexity: normal
• current_phase: closeout
• current_phase_status: complete
• next_phase: final response
• goal_status: active until update_goal(status: complete).

Current verdict:

• verdict: implementation verified
• confidence: high
• next owner: final response
• reason: selected section now uses docs-section layout and the route still exposes command and JSON links.

Completion rule:

• Do not call update_goal(status: complete) until every completion threshold above is satisfied, final evidence is recorded, and node .agents/skills/autogoal/scripts/check-complete.mjs docs/plans/2026-06-03-plate-ui-changelog-shadcn-styling.md passes.

Work Checklist:

• Short objective plus outcome, completion threshold, verification surface, constraints, boundaries, and blocked condition are concrete.
• Docs lane is classified as install, guide/system, plugin/feature, serialization/conversion, workflow/AI, API reference, or spec/law.
• Target docs and nearest sibling docs were read before writing.
• Docs style doctrine in docs-creator was read before writing.
• Documented behavior or API was verified against current source.
• Ownership map records core runtime, package, kit, registry, and app-local ownership where relevant.
• Fastest success path appears before deeper mechanics or API reference.
• Opening is three sentences or fewer and avoids generic fluff.
• Named APIs, options, transforms, components, imports, routes, and package specifiers are exact and current.
• Plugin docs, if applicable, satisfy kit/manual/API ordering and headless package ownership. N/A: not a plugin page.
• Serialization docs, if applicable, split directions and state environment constraints before examples. N/A: not serialization docs.
• API reference docs, if applicable, use exact contracts and avoid tutorial filler. N/A: not API reference docs.
• Spec/law docs, if applicable, record owner map, evidence, and explicit gaps. N/A: not spec/law docs.
• Demos/previews are real registry entries or marked N/A with reason. N/A: no component preview.
• Links target real leaf pages and do not reinforce pages being displaced.
• Anti-slop audit passed: no changelog voice, no fake APIs, no placeholder comments, no unresolved markers, no dead anchors, no redundant summary section.
• Workspace authority recorded: every proof command names the cwd/tool that owns the changed docs.
• Review/autoreview target selected for non-trivial docs work, or marked N/A with reason. N/A: user stopped autoreview earlier in this thread.
• Browser pack: route, interaction path, and expected visible outcome are recorded before proof.
• Browser pack: browser proof uses the repo-approved browser tool or records a blocker/waiver.
• Browser pack: console and network errors are checked or explicitly out of scope.
• Browser pack: screenshot, trace, or exact verification caveat is ready for final handoff.

Findings:

• The selected sync section was a standalone card-style panel with raw link text that wrapped poorly.
• The public page also showed agent diagnostics; that belongs in JSON, not the human changelog.

Decisions and tradeoffs:

• Use shadcn changelog's article rhythm: section border, muted lead, compact actions, border-bottom entries.
• Keep diagnostics in JSON only so agents retain the data without making the docs page ugly.
• Keep the agent command visible because it is the point of the section.

Implementation notes:

• AgentSyncPanel became AgentSyncSection.
• Raw URL text became compact JSON action buttons.
• Changelog cards became article rows.
• Diagnostics rendering was removed from the human page.

Review fixes:

• N/A: no autoreview run by request context.

Error attempts:

Error / failed attempt	Count	Next different move	Resolution
