Audit follow-up: the deferred 'dead .sidebar/.nav-link residual' was broader than logged (OtOpcUa's site.css duplicated and overrode the whole kit shell). Pruned across all 3 apps on chore/theme-css-prune branches (-167/-95/-106 lines, builds clean). Note the remaining deferred items (kit layout.css calc review; ScadaBridge Host transitive kit ref) and reconfirm the Theme 0.2.0 publish is genuine.
UI Theme (layout / tokens / components)
Second normalized component. Goal: path to shared code — converge the three sister
projects onto a common "Technical-Light" design system, realized as the ZB.MOM.WW.Theme
Razor Class Library.
- The one target:
spec/SPEC.md - Design tokens reference:
spec/DESIGN-TOKENS.md - The shared library:
shared-contract/ZB.MOM.WW.Theme.md - Divergences + backlog:
GAPS.md - Current state, per project:
current-state/
Why UI theme is a strong candidate
All three sister apps share a Blazor SSR + Bootstrap 5 UI stack and each ships a
hand-copied 379-line theme.css (the "Technical-Light" design system: IBM Plex
@font-face, :root design tokens, status palette, typography helpers). The three
copies are byte-for-byte identical except for three lines — the @font-face src:
URL prefix differs per app deployment convention. IBM Plex .woff2 fonts are likewise
vendored three times into each app's wwwroot/fonts/. This is the textbook drift
situation: a shared design system already beginning to diverge, with a latent font-path
bug in one app (OtOpcUa) that goes unnoticed because browsers fall back to system fonts.

Normalized vs. left per-project
Normalized (extracted into the RCL ZB.MOM.WW.Theme): design tokens + IBM Plex
fonts, the canonical side-rail shell (ThemeShell + BrandBar + NavRailItem +
NavRailSection), and the four widgets (StatusPill, LoginCard, TechButton,
TechCard, TechField). One RCL, one package, one version.
Left per-project (NOT extracted): each app's site.css residual page layout, its
page/route content, and app-specific scoped .razor.css (e.g. ScadaBridge's
MultiSelectDropdown, TreeView, Audit/*). The kit owns the chrome and tokens, not
the app's domain screens.
