Three copies of the same control: SemanticTreeLegend's .stl-collapse-btn, and
two in LegendDesktop — the data-view caret and the detail-mode button, whose own
comment says it "Matches SemanticTreeLegend's .stl-collapse-btn look". It
matched the look. A control is not its look, and the copies lost both of the
parts that do not render:
· aria-expanded. A disclosure control that never reports its state leaves a
screen-reader user with a button called "toggle legend" and no way to learn
whether the legend is open. This is the same defect I fixed in LegendMobile
last week, in a component sitting in the same folder as the fix.
· the RTL arrow. STL carries .stl-collapse-btn:dir(rtl) svg{rotate(0deg)}
because a panel that slides off the other edge needs its caret to point the
other way. LegendDesktop has no :dir(rtl) rule at all, so in Arabic its
caret points AT the panel it would open.
The label also now names the ACTION rather than the control: collapseLegend /
expandLegend instead of a fixed "toggle legend". All three keys were already
translated in all eleven locales, so this adds no translation debt.
THE ARROW AND THE ARIA COME FROM ONE PROP. They drifted apart because they were
two independent pieces of markup that happened to agree; `open` now drives both,
so a future copy cannot get one right and the other wrong.
STATE STAYS WITH THE CALLER. Two consumers drive collapse from uiStore's
tri-state cascade (fullyOpen -> open -> collapsed) and one from a local boolean.
A shared control that quietly adopted either would have broken the other, so
this one owns no state and no persistence — it renders what it is told and emits
the intent.
TWO THINGS DELIBERATELY UNCHANGED. The detail-mode control was an INVISIBLE
28x28 hit target — transparent fill, no border, transparent colour — over the
panel's corner; making it suddenly visible is a look change nobody asked for, so
the slot keeps the position, the size and the invisibility, and only the
semantics improve. And LegendDesktop's four light/dark theme rules stay in
LegendDesktop: they are its themes, not the control's. They outrank the shared
base on specificity (0,3,0 and 0,2,0 against 0,1,0), so which sheet is injected
first does not decide the colour.
Caught while writing it: the first draft styled the caret with <style scoped>,
which defineCustomElement silently DROPS for any child loaded through
import.meta.glob — it would have rendered unstyled in every shadow root while
looking right in the source. That is what useShadowStyles exists for, and what
every sibling legend component already does.

library/ (@map) — the shared map template
The other half of the architecture (see ../plugin-designs/README.md):
every map in plugin-designs/<your-map>/ composes the reusable, parameterized pieces that live here.
Fix something here and every map benefits on the next build; break something here and every map
breaks — read components/WARNING.md before touching shared pieces.
| Folder | What lives there |
|---|---|
ProfileLoader.vue |
The root of every bundle: parses profile-config, loads the profile, provides the stores + config |
components/ |
Shared UI — map, legends, controls, popup (PeopleGroupDetail), tables, charts, hints (README) |
composables/ |
Shared logic — map engine (useMapInstance), provider switch, shadow-DOM styles, theming |
stores/ |
Per-instance Pinia stores (ui / map / data) — provided by ProfileLoader, injected by children |
api/ |
Data-source registry (sources.json) + fetch layer — the JAMstack runtime wiring |
colors/ |
Color sets maps opt into via profile-config.colorSet |
i18n/ |
The shared string catalogs (all maps speak the same languages) |
data/ |
Small shared datasets baked at build time (big served data lives in ../data/) |
constants/ |
Shared constants |
scripts/ |
Maintainer pipelines (posters, research) — not part of any bundle |
The rule of thumb (same as WARNING.md): custom code in your app-profile, reusable code here — and things only move from the first to the second once they've earned it.
