RFD 2137: RFD reports share one sheet

Problem

RFD reports published as pages have no shared shape: each one reinvents its header, its tables, and its palette, and the working agreements the documents encode (retractions in place, baselines beside numbers, controls named) have no slot a page reminds an author to fill.

Decision

One template, template.html in this directory, in the PERT sheet’s design system: Libre Franklin over IBM Plex Mono, the paper/ink/critical/done/steel tokens, light and dark themes resolved at the token level. To publish a report, copy the file, replace every bracketed slot, and keep the worked example’s shape.

The layout encodes the agreements rather than describing them:

  • the serial header and stamps mirror the RFD frontmatter;
  • every measurement table carries its baseline row, and the chosen row takes the green rail;
  • the figure is an inline SVG in currentColor with labelled arrows, one claim, stated again in its aria-label;
  • the retraction block is bordered in the accent and sits in place, next to what it retracts;
  • the controls card lists each planted defect the gate caught;
  • the provenance foot points at the logbook, the PRs, and the command to re-run, and pairs physical measurements with a household-object equivalent.

Verification

The worked example filling the slots is RFD 2134, so the template is demonstrated by a report that shipped rather than by lorem.
