Strip the inherited template aesthetic so the next AI/designer starts
from a true blank canvas. AI tunnel-vision pattern: when there's an
existing layout/sidebar/color palette, the model tends to redesign
in place rather than truly start fresh. Removing the visual scaffold
forces fresh-canvas thinking when operator-driven UI work begins.
Removed:
- pages/dashboard, pages/settings — template "Welcome / Available
Stores / Suggested Features" stubs that have no canary purpose.
- pages/landing/landing.module.scss, core/app/{shell,toast}.module.scss
— empty header stubs imported only for side effects.
- core/lib/shell.ui.store.ts — zustand store for sidebar open/
collapsed/theme state; entirely template-coupled. core/lib/index.ts
reduced to an empty barrel ready for canary stores.
- core/app/shell.tsx sidebar+nav+header layout; replaced with bare
ErrorBoundary > Suspense > Outlet. Keeps robustness pattern,
drops the navbar template a designer would otherwise inherit.
- App.tsx hardcoded dark Toaster theme + wrapping .app div.
- styles/_tokens.scss color palette ($bg-page, $text-default, etc.)
— biased toward a specific dark aesthetic. Spacing, typography,
weights, line heights, letter spacing, radius, z-index, transitions,
breakpoints, container widths all KEPT — neutral design primitives,
not aesthetic choices.
- styles/_reset.scss body bg-color: #fff / color: #000 defaults.
Designer chooses the palette; reset stays purely structural.
- styles.scss .app class wrapper.
- config.ts USERS endpoints, USERS query keys, STORAGE_KEYS,
HTTP_STATUS, PAGINATION — template constants with no canary
consumer. Reduced to ROUTES.HOME and QUERY_CONFIG (consumed by
query.config.ts). Designer adds back what they actually need.
Kept (logic / infrastructure / Phase 14 work):
- Full api/ and core/api/ — Zod schemas, axios client, hooks,
ApiError, QueryClient, retry strategies.
- main.tsx, index.html (already canary-titled with favicons in
public/asset).
- QueryClientProvider + RouterProvider + bare Toaster + ReactQuery
Devtools provider stack.
- Lazy-route + Suspense + ErrorBoundary pattern in shell.
- styles/_index.scss, _fonts.scss (system font stacks), _mixins.scss
(breakpoint utilities, flex helpers, sr-only, truncate, etc.) —
all neutral.
Gate: pnpm typecheck, pnpm biome check, pnpm lint:scss, pnpm build
all clean. Production bundle: 140-byte landing chunk (the <div />),
~37 KB index chunk (api/core/router/zod machinery), no leftover
template CSS.
