Why

Milestone 1 has completed private dogfooding, so Admin 7 page chrome is ready to become the normal Admin experience at every supported viewport. This closes DES-1520.

What changed

  • Reduced the desktop sidebar border contrast in dark mode by using the semantic compositing border token; light mode is unchanged.

  • Removed admin7PageChrome from Ghost Core's private Labs registry and from Admin's developer-feature settings.

  • Removed the rollout hook, wrapper class, custom Tailwind variant, and all admin7: usages. The Admin 7 shell, responsive page gutter (20px on mobile and 40px from the sidebar breakpoint), content width, header spacing, responsive wrapping, and typography are now the defaults.

  • Renamed the rollout-era Inter Admin 7 font asset/family to Inter Admin.

  • Kept only real structural boundaries: routes such as Settings and the editor that intentionally hide the Admin sidebar still use their own page layout, and contributors still use their reduced shell.

  • Fixed the mobile layouts exposed by the new defaults: the full-width newsletter analytics card now stacks before the medium breakpoint, and Settings content is allowed to shrink to the viewport instead of being cropped.

  • Fixed the Automations desktop table sizing exposed by the wider default gutters so the name column no longer collapses.

  • Removed obsolete flag-specific and purely visual assertions, keeping behavioral coverage for loading Admin when Core config is pending or unavailable.

Validation

  • Focused Admin acceptance suites for layout, editor shell, Analytics, Post Analytics, and Settings — 5 files / 60 tests passed.
  • Full Admin Playwright acceptance suite passed in CI.
  • pnpm --filter @tryghost/admin typecheck — passed.
  • pnpm --filter @tryghost/admin lint — passed with existing warnings only.
  • pnpm --filter ghost-admin lint:hbs — passed.
  • Focused Core Labs and Admin config suites — 19 and 3 tests passed.
  • Manual responsive QA at 390px, 820px, and 1440px covered Analytics, Post Analytics, Settings, the post editor, and the mobile navigation drawer. No page-level horizontal overflow remained.
  • GitHub CI completed with 40 passing checks, 15 intentionally skipped checks, and no failures.

Checklist

  • I've read and followed the Contributor Guide
  • I've explained my change
  • Behavioral coverage is retained, and the visual defaults were manually checked across mobile, tablet, and desktop

This PR is intentionally left as a draft for review.

Walkthrough

The Admin 7 page chrome is now applied without Labs eligibility or readiness gating. The admin7PageChrome flag and its private settings entry were removed. Typography selectors, font names, and heading classes were renamed. Analytics, newsletter, post analytics, settings, and automation layouts now use shared styling directly. Acceptance tests were updated or removed to match the unconditional shell and renamed typography behavior.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ba853

The Admin 7 chrome and layout styling become the default experience. Remaining risk is limited to coverage gaps around fallback chrome and Settings typography, with no demonstrated runtime defect.

Full details: Type-Safe Boundaries

Explanation

No type-safe boundary violation was introduced. The production diff only changes layout classes, CSS/font names, feature-flag removal, and UI composition; it adds no HTTP/config/filesystem/event boundary read. The only added-line as React.CSSProperties cast already existed in the base file and types an internal style object, not boundary data. Searches found no new any, @ts-ignore, @ts-nocheck, unsafe boundary parsing, or duplicated Zod shape. Test changes are explicitly exempt.

Full details: New Files Are Typescript

Explanation

PASS. The PR adds no .js, .jsx, .cjs, or .mjs source files. The only changed JavaScript paths are pre-existing files modified in place: ghost/core/core/shared/labs.js and two existing JavaScript test files. The added paths are font assets and fonts.css, so the check's failure condition is not met.

Keep a positive Settings typography assertion.

The deleted test verified the typography that is now permanent behavior. The remaining tests do not verify that Settings renders with Admin 7 typography. A legacy typography regression will pass this file.

Add one non-parameterized test that renders /settings with default boot data and asserts the required typography contract.

70-70: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the Admin 7 shell in each fallback case.

sidebarScreen.shellNav() is also visible in the legacy shell. The deleted disabled-path test proved that navigation can be visible while .admin7 is absent. These assertions can pass if pending, failed, or malformed configuration incorrectly renders legacy chrome.

Add an Admin 7-specific assertion, such as .admin7 or a stable semantic marker, in each case.

ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/DES-1520/m1-cleanup-remove-the-admin7pagechrome-feature-flag

The new page gutter reduces the space available at narrower desktop widths. Letting the browser size columns by content prevents the name column from collapsing while preserving the stacked mobile layout.
