Companion to btravstack/btravstack.github.io#41, which adds entity to the landing page and needs a package accent for it.

Why not the pink

--accent: #ee9cc4 is --bt-pink-soft — the org's own accent. design.md is explicit: "The org accent never paints package content, and package accents never paint org chrome." entity was wearing the wordmark's color, so on the landing its panel glow and package name would have sat next to the beetroot wordmark in the same pink.

Why amber

The other packages' colors mean something — amqp wears RabbitMQ's orange, temporal wears Temporal's indigo, unthrown just moved to teal for not a signal, a value. entity needed one that says what it does.

Amber encases and preserves: a thing suspended intact, permanently. That is sealed construction and immutable data — validate once, seal, and it never changes. It's a material metaphor rather than a signal one, so it doesn't reopen the traffic-light reasoning that put unthrown on teal.

Numbers

#C8871F measures 6.32 on the dark card and 5.61 as darkened text on white — AA in both directions. The lighter ambers were prettier and failed: #D9A441 is 4.36 on white, #E0A93A is 4.14.

It is 13° from amqp's orange in hue, which is the honest cost. They separate on lightness and saturation instead — amqp is #FF6600 at full saturation, this is a deep ochre — so side by side they read as "bright orange" and "deep gold" rather than as a pair.

What moves

  • --accent in docs/.vitepress/theme/custom.css.
  • The record mark's validation stamp in logo-dark.svg / logo-light.svg — the element that means "entity": sealed, validated. Targeted at stroke="#CE3D80" only; the beet's own fill="#CE3D80" body is untouched, and logo.svg (the favicon, the mascot lifted out of its frame) has no stamp and needs no change.
  • The four feature icons, which hardcode the hex rather than deriving it from the token.

Docs build is clean; amber is in the emitted CSS and no ee9cc4 survives.

#EE9CC4 is --bt-pink-soft, the org accent. design.md reserves it for org chrome
("the org accent never paints package content"), so entity was borrowing the
wordmark's colour for its own.

Amber says what entity does: amber encases and preserves — a thing suspended
intact, permanently. That is sealed construction and immutable data. #C8871F
measures 6.32 on the dark card and 5.61 as darkened text on white (AA).

The record mark's validation stamp carries it (stroke only — the beet's own
#CE3D80 body fill is untouched), as do the four feature icons, which hardcode
the hex rather than deriving it.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the documentation site’s visual identity for the entity package by changing its accent color from the org pink to an amber tone, and propagating that change to the docs theme and related SVG assets.

Changes:

  • Repoints the docs accent token (--accent) to #c8871f (amber) in the VitePress theme CSS.
  • Updates the “validation stamp” stroke color in both light/dark logo SVGs to match the new accent.
  • Updates the four home-page feature icons to use the new accent color.

entity is published (0.3.0) with its docs live, so it joins the landing as the
fourth panel. It sits second, after unthrown and before the two contract
packages: the row now reads as the stack does — errors, the domain built on
them, then the transports that carry it.

Its mark is entity's own docs logo, copied under logos/entity-{light,dark}.svg,
which is the same convention the other three follow (verified: the unthrown
pair is byte-identical to unthrown/docs/public/logo-*.svg).

New --pkg-entity token, amber #C8871F: amber encases and preserves — a thing
suspended intact, permanently — which is sealed construction and immutable
data. 6.32 on the dark card, 5.61 as darkened text on white (AA). It replaces
--bt-pink-soft, the org accent, which entity's docs were borrowing;
btravstack/entity#47 moves that half.

The hero count and the footer link lists derive from the array, so only the
section heading and lead needed the three-to-four edit.
