The three console SDUI preview harnesses author 79 Tailwind classNames inside real page `source` strings — the practice the shipped lint rule warns on, working only by the coincidence ADR-0065 names as the failure

[os-support-ai]

Found while implementing #5461 (which corrects the prose framing on PageSchema.kind
and react-page.tsx). Filing rather than fixing — outside that card's declared file
surface, and the right resolution here is a judgement call rather than a mechanical edit.

What is there

apps/console/src/ holds three browser preview harnesses for the ADR-0080 source tiers,
each served by its own .html entry (sdui-jsx-preview.html, sdui-tiers-preview.html,
sdui-workbench-preview.html). Each defines a real page source string and renders it
through the real PageRenderer. Measured at 9bd753682, counting only className=
occurrences inside the page-source template literals:

File	className= inside page source	Tier
apps/console/src/sdui-jsx-preview.tsx	40	kind:'jsx'
apps/console/src/sdui-tiers-preview.tsx	25	kind:'html' + kind:'react'
apps/console/src/sdui-workbench-preview.tsx	14	kind:'react'
total	79

Why this is the defect and not just style

ADR-0080's 2026-06-30 header amendment (under ADR-0065, Accepted) retracted the
"HTML + Tailwind" framing for page source: source is runtime metadata, the console's
Tailwind is compiled at build time by scanning the console's own src with no safelist,
so an authored utility class silently produces no CSS. "Do not author Tailwind classes
in page source."

These previews are the one place in the repo where that rule is violated and still
looks right, and the files say why in their own headers:

 * Tailwind v4 scans this file's text for class candidates, so the runtime
 * source strings below are fully styled.

/* ADR-0080 browser preview: a kind:'jsx' page rendered through the real
 * PageRenderer (compile -> SchemaRenderer). Tailwind v4 scans this file's text
 * for class candidates, so the runtime source string is fully styled. */

That is the ADR-0065 failure mode stated as the mechanism: styling that "works only by
coincidence" — here, the coincidence that the page source happens to live inside a .tsx
file the console's own Tailwind scan reaches. Lift the same string into actual page
metadata (which is what these previews are demonstrating) and every one of the 79 classes
produces nothing, with no error anywhere.

Two consequences worth separating:

1. Teaching. These are the repo's worked examples of the two tiers. An author or an
   authoring agent copying sdui-tiers-preview.tsx's html source into a real page gets a
   correctly structured, correctly bound, entirely unstyled page.
2. Gate disagreement. Run through os validate, all three sources would trip
   page-source-className-tailwind (validatePageSourceStyling, shipped in
   @objectstack/lint@11.5.0) — a warning on kinds html, react and jsx. The repo's
   own demo of a tier fails the framework's own rule for that tier.

Counter-evidence that the previews are the outlier and not the practice: #5461 measured
the three real kind:'react' pages in the framework's examples/app-showcase at zero
className and 37 style={{ between them.

What needs deciding

Not mechanical, which is why this is its own card:

• (a) Rewrite the three sources to the real per-tier primitive — react via inline
  style objects with hsl(var(--token)) theme colours, html via the blocks' own
  structured props (flex direction/gap, grid columns) plus a JSON style object,
  per content/docs/guide/react-pages.md §Styling. Highest fidelity: the previews would
  then demonstrate what authors are told to write, and would exercise the token path in a
  browser. Cost: the visual richness of the current previews is doing real work in a
  manual dogfood loop, and some of it may not survive the translation.
• (b) Keep them and annotate. Add a header note stating that these are console-internal
  harnesses whose sources are build-scanned, that authored metadata gets no such scan, and
  that the shown classes are therefore not a pattern to copy. Cheap, honest, but leaves a
  worked example that contradicts the rule for anyone who reads the source rather than the
  header.
• (c) Split. Keep the current files as renderer-plumbing previews, and add one small
  token-styled source per tier as the authoring example.

I recommend (a) for sdui-tiers-preview.tsx at minimum — it is the file that
explicitly labels itself "Browser preview for the two AI-authoring tiers", so it is the
one making an authoring claim — and (b) for the other two if the rewrite cost is
judged too high.

Related: #5469 tracks the 8 remaining prose sites of the same retracted framing; #5461
fixes the published PageSchema.kind TSDoc and react-page.tsx.

Triage: pm:queue, type Task — the three preview harnesses violate the repo's own accepted rule (ADR-0080 amendment under ADR-0065) and are the worked examples most likely to be copied, so this is restoring an invariant, not style.

Direction, adopting the filer's recommendation as the dispatch shape: (a) for sdui-tiers-preview.tsx (it is the file making an explicit authoring claim — rewrite its sources to the real per-tier primitives: inline style with hsl(var(--token)) for react, structured block props + JSON style for html), (b) for the other two (header note stating the build-scan coincidence and that the classes are not a pattern to copy). If the tiers-preview rewrite costs visual fidelity that the manual dogfood loop demonstrably uses, the dev reports the specific loss rather than silently keeping Tailwind — that trade is the only open judgement and it is theirs to surface, not settle.

Acceptance criterion: post-change, sdui-tiers-preview.tsx's page sources pass page-source-className-tailwind clean; the annotated two may still trip it but say why in their headers.

Size/model suggestion: M, opus.

Session: session_012u2pRjcqAYtoEjgr3wwhnK
Branch: claude/issue-5470-sdui-preview-tailwind
Worktree: objectui-5470
Domain: domain:ui (execution seat)

File surface: apps/console/src/sdui-jsx-preview.tsx (40), apps/console/src/sdui-tiers-preview.tsx (25), apps/console/src/sdui-workbench-preview.tsx (14) and their .html entries. ⛔ OUT: packages/components/src/renderers/** and the packages/types declaration sites — held by #5051 this round.

Clause ②: no — apps/console preview harnesses. ⚠️ But note apps/console is a published package (@object-ui/console, publishConfig.access: public); what makes it unreachable is that its exports map has one entry (. → ./plugin.js), plugin.js is built from tsconfig.plugin.json including [plugin.ts] alone, and files omits src. That is the seat post's measured shape, quoted rather than restated — re-verify it, and correct me if it has moved.

The card names its own fork and triage graded it anyway, so read the whole thread before choosing. The ADR-0080 rule is not in doubt — the 2026-06-30 amendment under ADR-0065 (Accepted) retracted the "HTML + Tailwind" framing and states "Do not author Tailwind classes in page source", because console Tailwind is compiled at build time by scanning src with no safelist, so an authored utility class silently produces no CSS. What is a judgement call is the remedy: these files are the one place the rule is violated and still looks right, precisely because Tailwind scans the harness file's own text — and their headers say so.

⛔ If the remedy requires choosing between materially different shapes (e.g. move the styling out of source and lose what the preview demonstrates, versus keep it and declare the exception in a way the gate can see), report the fork with your measurement and recommendation rather than picking one. A preview that no longer shows what it exists to show is not a fix.

Verify the 79 / 40 / 25 / 14 counts on the current tip — measured at 9bd753682, counting className= only inside the page-source template literals. Assert pristine counts before mutating anything, and use grep -cxF for literal anchors: a metacharacter that silently zeroes a count is indistinguishable from the text being absent.

A new test pins both halves against the SHIPPED rule (validatePageSourceStyling / page-source-className-tailwind from @objectstack/lint) rather than a re-implementation, plus a no-third-path check over an import.meta.glob enumeration so a new harness is judged automatically.

An in-test control specimen is committed as well: the rule must FIRE on a dirty specimen and stay silent on a clean one, so green means clean, not rule-inert. No ablation/rebuild leg was needed — the test reads harness text and the rule ships prebuilt in node_modules — but the closure WAS built first (turbo build --filter '@object-ui/console^...', 34 tasks, 4m2s) before any type-check verdict was read. BROWSER: Chromium via Playwright against vite dev on an isolated port 5479, PID-verified via /proc/PID/cwd and killed by PID. Structured props produced real CSS (display:flex / column / gap 24px); JSON style materialized (12 styled nodes; list-style-type:disc, padding-left:24px; blockquote token bg + 4px left border + 16px padding); react interaction live (click -> 'Clicked 1 times'; sort by name -> first row 'Acme', was 'Umbrella'; 5 rows; Total $465,000); zero pageerrors; untouched jsx preview still renders 6 cards.

The browser caught ONE real regression nothing static could: flex's align defaults to start, so the hr (no intrinsic width) rendered hidden — Playwright: '123 x locator resolved to hidden <hr data-obj-type=\"hr\"/>' — while its computed border was correct the whole time. Fixed with align=\"stretch\" (the canonical structured prop) and re-measured: alignItems stretch, hr/blockquote/img all 688px in a 688px column.
