Summary

  • rebuild the homepage hero around animated, provider-specific coding-agent terminals and relay activity
  • broaden the product story across messaging, durable execution, shared files, realtime events, approvals, and SDK workflows
  • refine responsive navigation, footer, forms, accessibility, hero copy, and matching Open Graph metadata

Verification

  • npm --workspace web run test (26 tests passed)
  • npm --workspace web run build
  • browser-reviewed the updated sections across desktop and responsive layouts

Summary by cubic

Rebuilds the homepage hero around coordinated agent workflows. The two-column agent constellation and star-chart background are gone; the hero is now a centered copy column over animated, provider-specific coding-agent terminals joined by a relay pulse network.

Hero

  • Terminal marquees simulate live Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Grok sessions; the skill-install CTA is gone in favor of the onboarding command under the buttons.

Site-wide

  • Product story broadens to shared files, durable workflow traces, approvals, and realtime events, with matching Open Graph metadata.
  • Disables cssChunking, cutting render-blocking CSS from 253 KB to 82 KB raw (51 KB → 20 KB gzip).
  • Adds a skip link, single <main>, global focus ring, labeled waitlist email input, and aria-expanded on the mobile menu; terminal and hero motion stops under prefers-reduced-motion.

Written for commit e4bd991. Summary will update on new commits.

Typography: Inter and Sora out. Inter is a banned display face and Sora was
a flat 500/600/700 ladder — three preloaded families (105 KB) buying nothing
distinctive. In: Bricolage Grotesque for display and Instrument Sans for
text, both single-axis variable faces, so two files now cover the whole
weight ladder and the preloaded font payload drops to 71 KB. Geist Mono
stays for code but is no longer preloaded: it only ever appears below or
beside the LCP element.

Shape: brand.css gains a radius scale where every step has one squared
"tail" corner at bottom-left. Agent Relay is a messaging layer, so every
interactive element and every surface on the site is shaped like a message.
`-in` variants mirror the tail for the cases where direction means
something. `.btn` adopts it, along with a 48px min-height so no button on
any of the ten pages that compose it is an uncomfortable target.

Focus: there was no global :focus-visible rule at all, so most controls fell
back to the UA outline on a dark ground. One rule now covers the site — 3px,
2px offset, so the ring lands on the page background it is measured against
— plus a skip link for keyboard users.

At 390px, 25 of the homepage's 33 controls were under 24px, and almost all
of them were in the footer: 21 link rows at ~17px, three bare 18px SVG
social links and a 22px logo link. Footer links become 44px rows with a
tail-corner hover ground, socials become 44x44 chips, and the logo link gets
a target of its own. Nav links, the hamburger, the mobile menu rows and the
GitHub badge all get comfortable minimum sizes, and every surface picks up
the shared tail-corner radius.

Accessible names: the nav and footer logo links were two <svg>s with no
title, label or text, so both had empty names. They now carry the same
aria-label the 404 page already used, and the marks are aria-hidden.

Waitlist form: the email input was labelled by a placeholder alone and set
`outline: none` with no replacement, so the only focus feedback was a 1px
border colour change well under 3:1. It now has a real (visually hidden)
label and no outline suppression, so the global focus ring draws.

The graded verdict was "designed, not templated — fails": nine identical
full-width bands at one rhythm, five identical rounded preview rectangles, a
decorative tech-grid backdrop, a GitHub-blue accent and no <main>. The one
thing praised — the hero's agent-card network — was drawn in a leftover
green at 10% alpha on navy (so the network did not read), lived only in a
canvas that painted after hydration, and was display:none below 600px.

Ground. The homepage takes the warm terracotta and Pampas-stone palette that
had been sitting unused in brand.css and commits to it, as scoped custom
properties on `.page` so the shared nav, footer, badge and waitlist form
re-theme here and none of the other ~400 routes change. No navy, no
Tailwind-blue, no #58a6ff.

Shape. Every surface uses the tail-corner radius. The mirrored variant is
used only where direction carries meaning: an incoming bubble in the channel
transcript, a receiving card on the relay board.

The first screen. Four named agents wired to the Agent Relay hub with
orthogonally routed lines — horizontal run, rounded elbow, vertical run —
and a message pulse travelling each wire in turn, carrying the primitive it
belongs to (#build-web, a dm, a thread, a deferred retry). It is
server-rendered DOM plus one inline SVG: no canvas, no rAF, no 250ms
setState loop, no client component, and it stops under
prefers-reduced-motion. At 390px it becomes a vertical relay column rather
than disappearing.

Rhythm. Nine sections that deliberately do not match: a full-bleed hero, a
56px ruled logo strip, an inverted channel transcript, a delivery section
with no panel or mock at all (a sticky heading against four numbered rows on
hairlines), three unequal capability cards on a recessed ground, an inverted
code band with the panel pulled out of the band's own rhythm, a quiet
centred A2A note, two unequal deploy cards, and a centred waitlist.

Also: <main> and a skip target (the homepage was the only one of 25 pages
without a landmark), no prose under 16px on mobile, and the client bundle
loses the 838-line canvas, the 455-line chat animation, three animated feed
widgets and eight IntersectionObserver wrappers — scroll reveal is now
CSS-only and degrades to "visible".

The replaced section components are deleted; landing.module.css and the
components /about, /careers, /pear and the blog still use are untouched.

Measured on the built output, the homepage's render-blocking CSS was 253 KB
raw across four files, roughly 60% of it for pages the visitor is not on:
Next's default "loose" CSS chunking had merged the /brand, /enterprise,
/telemetry, /legal and 404 stylesheets into the same blocking file as the
homepage's own. 'strict' chunking still merges them; opting out gives each
CSS module its own chunk, loaded only where it is used.

Homepage critical CSS: 253 KB -> 82 KB raw, 51 KB -> 20 KB gzip, at the cost
of a couple more HTTP/2 requests.

Board: shortened to a 760x500 field so the four cards sit closer to the hub,
darkened the wires so the routing actually reads on stone, and each card now
reacts on the same 8s cycle as the wire that serves it — sending cards flash
as the message leaves, receiving cards as it lands. The receipts name the
primitive each wire carries (#build-web, a dm, a thread, a deferred retry)
so the illustration teaches the product's vocabulary. The half-bleed off the
right edge is gone: stopping exactly at the viewport edge read as a crop
rather than a decision.

The shape rule now also operates at page scale: each inverted band and the
recessed capabilities band carries the same 44px/44px/44px/0 corner, so the
paper ground shows through and the page reads as a stack of messages rather
than a stack of stripes.

Type floor: nothing on the page is under 13px any more, and at 390px no
sentence is under 16px — measured on the built page, the only remaining
sub-16px text is control labels and mono metadata.

On a phone the command box wraps to two rows instead of truncating: it is
the primary CTA there, so the whole command has to be readable.

Two things on the homepage were drawn light-on-light or dark-on-dark, both
because a token that assumes a paper ground was inherited by a surface that
has a night one.

The footer sits inside `.page`, which points --focus-ring at --ink for the
warm-stone ground above it, but the footer's own ground is --night. Every one
of its 23 links, the logo and the socials therefore drew a near-black focus
ring on near-black: 1.03:1, i.e. no visible keyboard focus on 23 of the
homepage's 36 focusable elements. The ring is now re-pointed at the footer's
own --footer-fg, which the --footer-bg / --footer-fg pair already guarantees
contrasts with its ground, so this is correct on every theme rather than
patched for one. Measured: 15.77:1 on the homepage footer, and the minimum
across all focusable elements on the page goes from 1.03:1 to 12.93:1.

The sticky nav was translucent (0.86, and ~0.7 in its scrolled state) with no
opaque backing. Over paper that reads fine, but this page scrolls three night
bands underneath it, and there the bar turned into a grey slab with the
section's own headings and chat bubbles ghosting straight through it. The
backdrop-filter cannot rescue it because the ground is light and the content
behind is dark. Both states now paint on an opaque cream. The scrolled state
gets there through a new --nav-scrolled-base that defaults to transparent, so
the other routes' translucent bars are untouched.

Also gives the mobile menu button aria-expanded and aria-controls; it was a
disclosure control that never announced its state.

The copy-a-command chip wraps to two rows on a phone. The copy affordance was
right-aligned across both columns, which left it floating alone in the empty
half of a row directly under the page's primary CTA — the most conspicuous
spot on the first screen. It now sits in the text column, so it starts on the
command's own left edge and the two rows share an alignment.

The relay hub's meta line wraps to two lines at 390px, and the mark was
centred on the whole card, which parked it opposite the meta rather than the
name it labels. Pinned to the name's line.

The A2A section was the one place the page fell back to a generic bordered
box: the copy says every agent *publishes an Agent Card*, and the artifact
under it was an unlabelled key/value block. It is now that card — a titled
surface with the same head/body split as the SDK code panel, carrying the
agent's handle and a delivery-status dot, over the same two fields. Also
makes it real markup: a figure with a definition list rather than one
paragraph full of spans.

The rebuild took the homepage to a warm terracotta and Pampas-stone palette.
The owner rejected it: our blues were our vibe. This recasts the page into the
brand's own navy and blue, which also closes the largest gap the verification
pass flagged — a light homepage handing off to ~400 navy interior routes.

Nothing is invented. --navy is #08111a, verbatim brand.css's dark --bg; the nav
bar is #0c1c2a, verbatim its dark --nav-solid-bg; the accent is #74b8e2, the
dark theme's own --primary, in the same Curious Blue family as the logo mark
(#4a90c2). That matters: the original grade dinged the old accent for sitting in
stock blue-500 territory, and this one is the brand's own value rather than a
framework default. The code panel takes brand.css's --terminal-* console colours
so the homepage's terminal is the terminal every interior route already renders.

The inverted-band structure survives with its roles recast. A dark page cannot
invert downwards — a band below an already-black floor is invisible — so the
inverted bands go up, into a lighter and more chromatic brand navy, and panels
inside them recess instead of rising. Four grounds, each step measured against
the floor: well x1.16, card x1.40, lift x1.62.

Because the page is now a single dark theme rather than a light one with dark
bands, the two-theme token system collapses. --ink-* and --night-fg-* merge into
one --text-* ladder, --night-rule merges into --rule, and .night becomes .lift,
dropping from twenty declarations to four: it now moves only surfaces. The text
ladder, the accent, the hairlines and the focus ring carry across every band
unchanged, so there is nothing left to fork. Hairlines became composited alphas
so one value stays legible on all four grounds; a solid hairline tuned for the
floor disappears inside a lift band.

Every contrast pair was re-measured against the ground it actually sits on,
because these are exactly the numbers a dark theme loses. Worst text pair is
--text-3 on --lift at 4.70:1; the accent is 5.47:1 there; --rule-strong holds
3.66:1 for WCAG 1.4.11; the focus ring's floor across the page is 8.84:1 with
zero missing or invisible indicators at 1440 and 390, footer included. The relay
wires get their own token at 4.90:1 against the ground — the original site drew
that network in a leftover green that vanished on navy, and this palette had one
job not to repeat it.

The accent is spent sparingly. The hub is the only lit plate on the relay board,
solid sky with the page's ground as its type, so four quiet navy agent cards
route into one luminous switchboard; the primary button is that same plate. The
sticky nav stays opaque and now reads as a darker bar over the lift bands, which
is cleaner than the cream version was.

No layout, structure, copy or geometry moved. The relay board and its mobile
column, the message-shape rule at every scale, the type scale, the unequal
section rhythm and the A2A card are untouched, as are every other route's
styles: --nav-scrolled-base stays unset outside this page, and /pear, /docs and
/enterprise render byte-identically.

Re-measured: 0 tap targets under 44px at 390, no prose under 16px, no horizontal
scroll, 1 main, 0 console and hydration errors, throttled LCP median 776ms with
CLS 0, and render-blocking CSS 108 bytes smaller than before. 26 vitest and 284
Playwright tests pass.

The owner compared three homepage designs side by side and chose the
original: the old Hero, the canvas node graph, the full old section stack,
landing.module.css, and the Sora/Inter type on the dark blue ground. This
puts that design back and fixes what was actually broken in it, without
restyling it.

The network. The old graph drew its connections in a leftover green
(45, 79, 62) at 0.1 opacity on a dark blue ground: invisible. It is now the
brand blue, per theme, at an opacity you can trace a connection with. The
first attempt at that overcorrected into neon, so this pass pulls the light
back out and leaves only the lines:

  - edges at 0.30 of node opacity, and no shadowBlur behind them. A blur
    behind every edge was most of the glare.
  - busy-node halos at 0.09 with the gradient ramp starting at 0.62 of the
    radius, so the halo hugs the card instead of blooming into the page.
  - card box-shadow glow from 26px/0.34 down to 14px/0.12.
  - the phone's flat stand-in loses its blurred understudy layer and drops
    its node halos to 0.07, so it matches the canvas.
  - the hub in "Works with all of them" loses its 6px/16% double halo for a
    close 4px/9% one, and the message dots trade a 14px bloom for a 7px one.

Three faults the restore surfaced, all healed:

  - The hero's grid track was floored by the install command's min-content
    width, pushing the copy column ~34px past the gutter on phones and
    clipping the right edge of the command button. minmax(0, 1fr) on the
    command group and min-width: 0 on the column hold it to the gutter; the
    command itself now fits inside the button at every phone width instead
    of trailing off behind an invisible scrollbar.
  - Running prose stepped down to 14-15.7px at 390, under the 16px body
    floor, precisely where the column is narrowest. Sentence-length copy is
    now 16px on phones; labels, captions, code and the mock chat UI keep
    their own smaller sizes.
  - The nav/footer/waitlist focus fixes, the skip link and the single
    <main> from this branch are all preserved.

Verified: build exit 0, vitest 26/26, playwright 284/284. The measured
accessibility and performance numbers are on the following commit, which
carries the final state.

The owner picked this section's treatment out of the rebuild's homepage and
asked for it on the restored page. The old page already had the equivalent
section -- same heading, same hub-and-two-groups pyramid -- so this upgrades
that one in place rather than grafting a second one beside it. The thing
worth carrying over was the naming: the rebuild put each runtime's name
under its mark, and that is what made the row readable.

Before, the ten marks were anonymous glyphs. Codex, OpenCode and Cursor are
plain enough that nobody could tell which runtime they were looking at, and
the names were hidden in a `title` attribute no touch device ever shows.
Now each mark carries its name in the open, in the page's own chip and
caption styles rather than the rebuild's, so it reads as native to this
design and not transplanted into it:

  - the 44px chip stays exactly as it was; the name sits under it at
    0.72rem in --fg-muted, the section's existing caption colour.
  - the coloured Codex mark is near-black and vanished against the chip on
    this dark band, so it uses the mono mark, as the other CLI marks do.
  - two label lines are reserved whether or not a name needs them, so
    "Claude Code" wrapping does not drag its card's caption out of line
    with the card beside it.
  - the stage widens 680 -> 900px: five named marks no longer fit a 320px
    half, and the drops now land at 24/76 rather than the quarter marks,
    which is where the cards' centres actually are once the row's gap is
    taken out.
  - on phones the two cards stack. Side by side they get ~150px each, which
    is not enough for a named mark; full width gives a 3-over-2 grid with
    the trailing pair centred.
  - the pair now rises into view instead of converging from both sides.
    Stacked full-width, the inbound translateX(40px) on the right-hand card
    pushed 40px of scrollable overflow past the gutter; translateY has no
    such edge.
  - the marks are a list, and the names are the accessible names, so ten
    redundant aria-labels are gone.

The palate-website-builder skill writes session telemetry to build-manifest.json
at the repo root whenever it runs. It is per-session tooling output, not
project content, so ignore it rather than letting every agent session leave an
untracked file behind.

The owner looked at the named row and said it is too distracting: ten marks
with ten captions under them turns a quiet "it works with your thing" band
into a wall of small type competing with the two card headings above it. He
is right — the names were an answer to a question ("which one is that?") that
this section does not actually ask.

So the section goes back to what the original page had, which is what
b9f3387 replaced:

  - the marks are anonymous chips again, in one flat 44px row, with the name
    kept where it was: `title` plus `aria-label`, so screen readers and
    pointer users can still get it and nothing is on screen.
  - the stage narrows 900 -> 680px again. It was only widened to fit five
    named marks in a half; unnamed marks fit the old width comfortably.
  - the pipes drop at 25/75 again, and the three message-dot keyframes go
    back to the same lanes. The 24/76 offset only made sense against the
    wider stage.
  - phones get the two cards side by side again, three chips over two, rather
    than stacked full width.

Two things do not come back, both for reasons unrelated to the names:

  - Codex keeps the mono mark. The coloured one is near-black and vanishes
    against the chip on this dark band, so it stays visible rather than
    correct-brand-and-invisible. The other CLI marks are mono anyway.
  - `.howItWorks` gains `overflow-x: clip`. Restoring the converge-from-both-
    sides reveal also restores its inbound `translateX(40px)`, which parks the
    right-hand card's edge 16px past the gutter until the observer fires — at
    390 that measured `scrollWidth` 406 against a 390 client for up to 1.5s,
    i.e. a phone really could scroll sideways for a second. `clip` rather than
    `hidden` takes that strip away without turning the section into a scroll
    container, so the card still slides in from off-page as it always did.

On desktop the hero is a constellation of agent cards — named agents, each
with a provider mark, a model and a line of what it is currently saying,
wired together. It reads well because the nodes are agents talking. Phones
below 600px got a static SVG stand-in of that: seven anonymous circles joined
by hairlines. Looked at cold on a 390 screen it reads as a placeholder
wireframe — dots with no labels, no cards, nothing to tell you what the
product does. It kept the *shape* of the desktop graphic and threw away the
only part that carried meaning.

So the still is now an actual miniature: three of the same agents from the
canvas's own NODE_POOL, drawn as the same cards.

  - Lead (Claude, Opus) "Spawning Coder...", Planner (Gemini, 2.5 Pro)
    "Standing by...", Coder (Codex, Codex-1) "Writing patch..." — one card per
    provider, the two the subtitle names among them, and the three status
    strings taken from the canvas's own vocabulary at a moment where the relay
    is mid-hand-off. The provider marks are the canvas's marks, exported
    rather than redrawn.
  - the cards echo the canvas card: 8px radius, header strip with the mark and
    name in mono at left and the model at right, status line under it with the
    green dot on the two that are working. The band is navy in both themes, so
    the miniature carries the dark values outright instead of going through
    --agent-card-*, which flips to white in light mode.
  - one message pill caught in flight on the hub-to-Coder wire, the same
    "#dev: PR ready" toast the canvas pops on arrival. It is what turns three
    boxes into a conversation.
  - three wires, one flat pass at 0.5 opacity, no blurred understudy behind
    them — the bloom is what made the desktop version look neon, and the owner
    asked for lines, not glow.
  - the pair below the hub is staggered by 9% and the hub sits a shade left of
    centre, because three cards on a symmetric triangle read as an org chart.

The geometry is all percentages — cards 46% wide, hub centred, the pair pinned
to the gutters — so the wires land on the card centres at every width without
a canvas or a resize observer. Still no rAF and no canvas on phones; the only
motion is the 4px status dot, behind prefers-reduced-motion. Desktop and 768
are untouched: the breakpoint and the live canvas are exactly as they were.

The hero was a two-column split: copy on the left, an animated
constellation of agent cards on the right. The constellation showed the
graph but not the work, and the split left the headline sharing the fold
with a canvas that had to be explained.

This replaces it with a single centred column — the headline, the
supporting line, the two buttons and the onboarding command — sitting
over three full-bleed rows of terminal sessions. Each card is one agent
mid-task the way its terminal really looks: a title bar with the agent
and the repo, the prompt someone typed, what the tool did, and where the
result went, which for Agent Relay means a channel, a DM or a PR.

The marquee is CSS only. Each row's track holds two copies of its cards
and slides exactly one copy's width, so the loop is seamless; the
spacing lives in each card's margin rather than a flex gap so -50% lands
on a card boundary. Rows differ in length, duration, direction and phase
so the seams drift instead of beating in step, and the whole band is
clipped so it can never add page scroll. Motion is declared only under
prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference — the reduced-motion state is three
static, staggered rows. The band is inert chrome, so it is aria-hidden
and holds nothing focusable.

The headline runs one step smaller than the shared scale: this line is
five words, not three, and at the product pages' size it filled the fold
on its own. The onboarding command keeps its place but sized to itself,
under the buttons, rather than as a second full-width block.

Removes HeroGraph and the phone miniature it rendered; the canvas it
wrapped is still used by /message.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The homepage is redesigned around shared hero copy, terminal and relay visualizations, new product sections, durable workflow and shared-file previews, responsive styling, and improved accessibility across navigation, forms, focus states, and site controls.

Changes

Homepage redesign

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared design, metadata, and accessibility foundation
.gitignore, web/app/globals.css, web/app/layout.tsx, web/components/SiteNav.tsx, web/components/SiteFooter.tsx, web/components/WaitlistForm.tsx, web/lib/*, web/public/brand.css
Shared hero copy, metadata, fonts, shape tokens, focus styles, skip links, navigation semantics, footer controls, waitlist labels, and badge sizing are updated.
Hero relay experience
web/components/home/Hero.tsx, web/components/home/HeroTerminalMarquee.tsx, web/components/home/RelayBoard.tsx, web/components/home/HomeHero.tsx, web/app/landing.module.css, web/app/home.module.css, web/components/MessageRelayAnimation.tsx
The hero now renders shared copy, agent terminal cards, animated relay routes, and a CSS relay board. Legacy hero command and graph usage is removed.
Homepage sections and workflow previews
web/components/home/HomeSections.tsx, web/components/home/ContextCapabilities.tsx, web/components/home/CopyCommand.tsx, web/components/home/DeliveryFeature.tsx, web/app/DurableDeliveryTimeline.tsx, web/components/home/MessagingLandingPage.tsx, web/app/home.module.css, web/app/landing.module.css
New marketing sections, shared-file capability content, copy-command controls, configurable delivery content, and an animated durable workflow trace are added. Responsive layouts and reduced-motion rules support the new sections.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5fd6a

The homepage refresh is mergeable with owner awareness: the hero can show a Grok card with a Codex branch label, the copy control emits an undefined CSS class, and the ignore rule may hide nested manifests unintentionally. These are bounded presentation and repository-hygiene issues with no backend, security, or availability impact.

Poem

I hop through relays of blue and bright,
Seven workflow steps march into sight.
Files share paths and messages flow,
Focus rings guide each careful toe,
A rabbit cheers the homepage glow.

P2 Badge Remove the unreachable alternate homepage tree

Both web/app/page.tsx and web/app/messaging/page.tsx still render MessagingLandingPage, and a repo-wide reference search finds no imports of HomeHero or HomeSections outside their own newly added files. Consequently, HomeHero, HomeSections, RelayBoard, CopyCommand, and the roughly 1,600-line home.module.css form a second, unreachable homepage implementation that still gets type-checked and leaves two competing designs to maintain; remove this unused tree or wire it into the intended route.

688-718: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the unreachable fallback terminal body.

TerminalAgent has exactly four members: claude, codex, grok, and opencode. The chain at lines 680-687 covers all four, so the else branch never renders. It duplicates the session, transcript, and composer markup, and it keeps AGENT_META.session alive only through dead code.

Replace the chain with a lookup that TypeScript can check for exhaustiveness, so a new agent fails at compile time instead of falling into a hidden branch.

Remove the unused HomeHero path or mount it from a route. The / and /messaging routes render MessagingLandingPage, and no route imports or renders HomeHero. RelayBoard and the npx agent-relay@latest skills add CTA are therefore unreachable.

Scope the ignore rule to the repository root.

build-manifest.json without a slash matches that filename in every directory, not only the repository root described by the comment. A nested manifest can therefore be silently omitted from version control. Use /build-manifest.json for a root-only rule.

Fix the hardcoded provider name in the Grok terminal body.

GrokTerminalBody renders the branch context as codex/<repo>, and it also hardcodes the mode as auto. Every card that reaches this component has agent === 'grok', so a Grok terminal displays a Codex branch prefix on the homepage hero. Use the agent metadata instead.
