claude@clouddev1 995c0ba8eb docs: reconcile website doc inventory with merged main scope
The merge from main added user-facing surface the pre-merge inventory had
listed as planned. Mark them documented-as-shipped: show tables /
relationships / indexes + show relationship/index <name> (V5/V5a),
help [<command>] + help types (H3), compound-primary-key foreign-key
references (T3, ADR-0043), and friendlier parse-error messaging (H1a).
Refresh the test count to 2193 and note requirements.md now uses a [/]
partial marker (trust the code, not the marker).

# Plan: public website and documentation site
**Date:** 2026-06-04 · **Status:** ready to build
Decisions for this work are recorded in
[ADR-0044](../adr/0044-public-website-and-documentation-site.md): Astro 6 +
Starlight + Tailwind v4; asciinema demos reusable in docs; the in-page WASM
playground deferred behind a stable demo seam; portable static hosting
(Vercel target); monorepo (`website/`); website is the canonical docs home;
full-feature-set docs with "planned" callouts; install docs cover prebuilt
binaries + package managers. This plan is the *how*.
## Repository layout
The site lives under `website/` in this repo; the crate stays at the root.
```
website/
├── package.json # pnpm; astro, @astrojs/starlight, tailwind v4
├── astro.config.mjs # Starlight integration + sidebar nav
├── src/
│ ├── pages/index.astro # marketing landing (custom, not Starlight)
│ ├── components/
│ │ ├── Demo.astro # demo SLOT — the WASM-playground seam
│ │ └── Cast.astro # asciinema-player island wrapper
│ ├── content/docs/ # Starlight MDX docs (the bulk of the work)
│ └── styles/ # shared Tailwind + Starlight theme tokens
├── public/casts/ # recorded *.cast asciinema files
├── README.md # local dev + recording recipe
└── STYLE.md # living documentation style guide
```
Root `.gitignore` gains `website/node_modules`, `website/dist`,
`website/.astro`.
## Documentation inventory (grounded — drives Phase D scope)
Built from `docs/handoff/5559`, `docs/adr/*`, the command REGISTRY
(`src/dsl/grammar/mod.rs:603`, which also auto-assembles in-app `help`), the
`Command` enum (`src/dsl/command.rs:149`), and
`src/friendly/strings/en-US.yaml`**not** the coarse `requirements.md`
checkboxes (handoff-59 found those ~46% mis-marked; they now use a `[/]`
"partial" legend — trust the code, not the marker). Refreshed **2026-06-09
after merging `main`**, which added the show-list/detail, `help <command>`,
and compound-PK FK surface (see the dedicated bullet below). Test state:
**2193 passing, 0 failing, 1 ignored.**
**SHIPPED — document as-is (the doc core):**
- Input modes: simple, advanced (SQL), `:` one-shot escape, `mode` command,
per-project mode restore (ADR-0003/0015/0037).
- Full simple-mode command surface: create/drop table; add/drop/rename/
change column; add/drop 1:n relationship (named, ON DELETE/UPDATE
CASCADE/SET NULL/RESTRICT, `--create-fk`); add/drop index; insert/update/
delete (required WHERE + `--all-rows`; complex WHERE: AND/OR/NOT, LIKE,
IS NULL, IN, BETWEEN); show table/data (where/limit); add/drop constraint;
explain (ADR-0009/0013/0014/0025/0026/0028/0029).
- Full advanced-mode SQL: CREATE/DROP/ALTER TABLE (cols, constraints, inline
+ table FKs, rename, alter-column-type), CREATE [UNIQUE]/DROP INDEX; SELECT
(joins, GROUP BY/HAVING, ORDER BY, LIMIT/OFFSET, UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT,
WITH [RECURSIVE] CTEs); INSERT (multi-row, ON CONFLICT, RETURNING)/UPDATE/
DELETE; full expression grammar incl. CASE, CAST, curated functions;
EXPLAIN over SQL (ADR-00300039).
- Types: all ten, advanced-mode SQL aliases, serial/shortid auto-fill
(ADR-0005/0011/0017/0018). Constraints: PK incl. compound, NOT NULL,
UNIQUE, CHECK, DEFAULT, FK (ADR-0029/0013/0035).
- Undo/redo, history.log journal, replay, `--resume`, `--no-undo`
(ADR-0006/0034). Projects & storage: project.yaml + CSV + history.log,
save/save as/load/new/rebuild, temp projects, `--data-dir`
(ADR-0004/0015). Export/import (zip), clipboard copy/copy all/copy last
(ADR-0007/0041).
- Friendly errors (all five categories) + validity indicator
(ADR-0019/0027), DSL→SQL teaching echo (ADR-0038), EXPLAIN plan tree
(ADR-0028), box-drawing tables (ADR-0016), tab completion + syntax
highlighting + in-line editing (ADR-0022).
- **Added by the `main` merge (2026-06-09):** schema-inspection commands
`show tables` / `show relationships` / `show indexes` and the singular
`show relationship <name>` / `show index <name>` detail views (V5/V5a);
`help [<command>]` per-command detail + `help types` + general reference
(H3); **compound-primary-key foreign-key references** — DSL
`from <P>.(a, b) to <C>.(x, y)` and SQL `FOREIGN KEY (a, b) REFERENCES
P(x, y)` (single-column form unchanged) (ADR-0043, T3); friendlier
parse-error near-miss messaging (H1a, ADR-0042). These need coverage: a
schema-inspection page (the `show` family) and compound-FK examples on the
Relationships page.
**DOCUMENT WITH CAVEAT:** `add unique index` is advanced-only; simple-mode
table rename is intentionally absent (rename is `ALTER TABLE … RENAME TO`);
`hint` (H2) is still partial; a compound-FK *violation* message names only
the first column pair (enforcement is correct — a messaging-only residual).
**OMIT or MARK "planned":** multi-line input (I1), readline shortcuts (I1b),
in-flight cancellation / query timeout (I5/B3), `seed` (SD1), `m:n`
convenience (C4), one-step modify relationship (C3a), relationship line-art
(V1), ER-diagram export (V3), session-log + Markdown export (V4).
**Mine verbatim for docs:** `en-US.yaml` `help.app.*`, `help.ddl.*`,
`help.data.*`, `help.types_reference`, `parse.usage.*` (one-line syntax
templates), `hint.*` — keeps docs and in-app help consistent.
## Phases
### A — Scaffold
`pnpm create astro@latest` (Starlight template) in `website/`; `astro add
tailwind` (Tailwind v4 via `@tailwindcss/vite`); add
`@astrojs/starlight-tailwind`. Confirm `pnpm dev` serves and `pnpm build`
emits a static `dist/`. Echo build steps for traceability.
### B — Landing page
Custom `src/pages/index.astro` (Starlight owns `/docs/*`). Hero + value prop
("learn relational databases by doing"), feature highlights from the
inventory, an embedded demo cast above the fold. Use the `frontend-design`
skill to avoid generic AI aesthetics; honour NFR-4/5/7 (distinctive design,
meaningful colour, light/dark).
### C — asciinema recording workflow
Record real `rdbms-playground` sessions to `public/casts/*.cast` using a
**scripted-input driver** (e.g. `asciinema-automation`/autocast, or an
expect/doitlive script) for paced, re-recordable demos. Record at a fixed
sensible cols×rows; provide light + dark player themes. `Cast.astro` wraps
`asciinema-player` as a `client:visible` island; the same component embeds
casts inline in docs. Document the recipe in `website/README.md`.
(`asciinema` 2.4.0 is installed.)
### D — Documentation (the bulk)
Starlight sidebar, scoped from the inventory; built in priority order:
- **Getting started** — install (prebuilt binaries + package managers),
first project, simple vs. advanced mode.
- **Concepts** — projects & storage; undo, history & replay.
- **Simple-mode command reference** — full surface; syntax conventions;
simple-command → SQL teaching echo.
- **Advanced (SQL) mode** — full SQL DDL/DML/SELECT surface.
- **Types**, **Relationships**, **Constraints**, **Indexes**, **Query plans
/ EXPLAIN**.
- **Working with the editor** — completion, highlighting, validity
indicator, in-line editing.
- **Errors explained** — the friendly error layer.
- **Export / import & sharing** (E2 recipes), **clipboard**.
Build order: Tier 1 simple-mode reference + types + constraints + input
modes + mined help/usage strings → Tier 2 advanced SQL + relationships +
project lifecycle + undo/history → Tier 3 teaching echo + EXPLAIN + errors +
completion/highlighting → Tier 4 clipboard + hints + editing.
Conventions live in the **living style guide** `website/STYLE.md` (binding
rules from ADR-0044 §7 — no engine name, **no "DSL"**, "planned" callouts —
plus finer conventions and an open-decisions log for depth/splitting/example
dataset/etc. as they settle). Sources to mine: `src/dsl/command.rs`,
`src/dsl/grammar/*`, the REGISTRY, `en-US.yaml`, `docs/adr/*`,
`docs/simple-mode-limitations.md`.
### E — Hosting & portability
Keep the default static build (no adapter); `dist/` deploys to Vercel or any
static host. `website/README.md` notes the Vercel preset (root dir
`website/`) and the one-line `@astrojs/vercel` switch if SSR is ever needed.
## Demo seam (WASM hook)
`Demo.astro` exposes a stable contract (`{ src, title, height, autoplay }`).
At launch it renders `Cast.astro`; later a `Playground.astro` WASM island
swaps in behind the same props on the landing page and in docs, with zero
call-site changes. Boundary details are in ADR-0044 §3.
## Verification
- `pnpm dev` renders landing + docs; `pnpm build` emits a clean static
`dist/` with no errors/warnings.
- Landing shows at least one playing `.cast`; the same component renders a
cast inline in a docs page (proves reuse).
- Starlight link-check passes (broken internal links fail the build).
- Docs grep clean of forbidden terms: **no "DSL"**, no engine name.
- A `dist/` static deploy works on Vercel (manual import) — confirms
portability. (No CI gate yet, per ADR-0044 §4.)
## Notes / recommendations (non-blocking)
- **Doc drift:** consider generating the command reference from source (the
`help` REGISTRY / `en-US.yaml`) rather than hand-writing all of it.
- **Accessibility/SEO:** pair each hero `.cast` with a text transcript or the
equivalent docs snippet.
- **Branding/domain & analytics** unspecified — assume none until decided;
no third-party trackers without consent.
- Tailwind v4 + Starlight have occasional theme-token friction; the
`@astrojs/starlight-tailwind` plugin is the supported bridge.
- Starlight ships local search (Pagefind) by default.
- No `README.md` exists at the repo root yet — wanted for the destination
repo; out of this plan's core scope but flagged.
