# Shared WebUI Primitive Inventory
|
||
|
||
This 2026-08-18 inventory records the implementation state after the
|
||
product-wide toolbar, grid, form-section, dialog-anatomy, metric-group, and
|
||
description-list migrations. It is
|
||
evidence for prioritization, not a substitute for the normative
|
||
[interface pattern language](../architecture/INTERFACE_PATTERN_LANGUAGE.md).
|
||
|
||
## Implemented And Enforced
|
||
|
||
| Contract | Adoption evidence | Ownership now enforced |
|
||
| --- | ---: | --- |
|
||
| `ActionToolbar` and groups | 39 source files | Raw module-prefixed toolbar elements and local toolbar component definitions are rejected. |
|
||
| `ContentGrid` | 15 source files | Former `dashboard-grid` and `settings-grid` wrappers are rejected. |
|
||
| `FormGrid` and `FormLayout` | 53 source files | Former `form-grid` and `admin-form-grid` wrappers are rejected; equal-column dialog and editor grids were migrated even when they had module-prefixed names. |
|
||
| `FormSection` | 2 representative source files | The reusable section API, variants, responsive action placement, and heading anatomy are Core-owned; broader adoption is incremental. |
|
||
| `DialogActions` | Every Core `Dialog` footer | Footer wrapping and alignment are no longer repeated by consumers. |
|
||
| `DialogForm` | 6 source files | Raw `*-dialog-form` form wrappers are rejected. |
|
||
| `DialogSection` | 6 source files | Repeated dialog field/content grouping is available as a shared primitive. |
|
||
| `MetricGrid` | 29 uses in 25 source files | The former `metric-grid` class and module-specific column overrides were removed. Core now owns 1–5/auto-fit columns, minimum width, density, block/inset/zero spacing, and collapse. |
|
||
| `DescriptionList` and `DescriptionItem` | 51 lists in 28 source files; item composition in 11 files | The former `admin-details-grid` and `detail-list` classes were removed. Core now owns stacked and inline property layouts, density, term width, wrapping, and collapse while preserving native `dl`/`dt`/`dd` semantics. |
|
||
| Standard dialog sizing | 9 consumers and 6 duplicated width rules removed | Confirmations and compatible Calendar, credential, Campaign, Files, and Voting dialogs use the Core small/large/wide scale. The 61 remaining specialized selectors across 22 CSS files are registered and decrease-only. |
|
||
|
||
`tools/checks/check-shared-webui-primitives.py` verifies Core exports and
|
||
ownership, representative consumers, the absence of the retired raw anatomy,
|
||
and composition of every `Dialog` footer through `DialogActions`.
|
||
|
||
## Dialog Width Classification
|
||
|
||
The remaining 61 width selectors do not duplicate the Core 460/560/680/1040/
|
||
1440px scale. They cover bounded editor widths between scale steps, high-density
|
||
definition and governance editors, preview/chooser canvases, message and file
|
||
overlays with coupled height behavior, and responsive full-canvas workflows.
|
||
Their exact selector set lives in
|
||
`tools/checks/shared-webui-dialog-width-exceptions.txt`. The focused check fails
|
||
for a new selector, a stale baseline entry, or any local width that duplicates
|
||
the Core scale.
|
||
|
||
## Remaining Promotion Candidates
|
||
|
||
The post-migration scan still finds domain-specific grids, but the repeated
|
||
generic metric and property-list geometry is gone. Remaining grids are mostly
|
||
unequal-track editors, visualizations, workflow facts, import mappings, and
|
||
collection layouts. The next useful candidates depend on interaction semantics:
|
||
|
||
| Priority | Remaining pattern | Evidence | Proposed contract |
|
||
| --- | --- | ---: | --- |
|
||
| 1 | Empty and collection state anatomy | More than 70 module-prefixed empty/state class uses remain; only loading, alerts, blockers, and DataGrid empty actions are centralized | A composable `StatePanel`/`CollectionState` covering empty, recoverable error, permission block, partial result, and next action without hiding domain consequences. First distinguish a whole-surface state from a compact empty row or optional-value placeholder. |
|
||
| 2 | Filter and search rows | More than 50 filter/search class tokens cover simple text search, facets, popovers, result counts, active filters, bulk selection, and overlay search | Define `FilterBar` only after the input/submit, live filtering, facet, result-summary, and bulk-action accessibility variants have been compared. Plain action placement already uses `ActionToolbar`. |
|
||
| 3 | Assignment/picker groups | `admin-assignment-grid`: 5 uses in 4 files | Promote a selection/assignment composition only after its list, search, empty, policy, and permission variants are compared; plain geometry can already use `ContentGrid`. |
|
||
| 4 | Repeated domain fact and statistic grids | `campaign-header-grid` (8), `review-flow-fact-grid` (6), `postbox-form-grid` (5), plus smaller families | Compare semantics before promotion. Some can use `ContentGrid` or `DescriptionList`; others intentionally own unequal tracks or workflow visualization. |
|
||
|
||
The other custom grids are mostly bounded domain visualizations or unequal-track
|
||
editors: conflict mappings, import mapping, campaign review facts, charts,
|
||
calendar time views, connector synchronization, records lists, and definition
|
||
editors. They should remain module-owned unless a second domain demonstrates
|
||
the same semantics and interaction contract. A shared primitive should not be
|
||
created merely because two implementations both use CSS Grid.
|
||
|
||
## Next Audit
|
||
|
||
The next bounded slice should compare whole-surface empty states across list,
|
||
detail, permission, capability, and recoverable-error contexts and promote only
|
||
their shared anatomy. Filter/search composition follows after its live versus
|
||
submitted filtering and bulk-selection behavior is explicit. Assignment grids
|
||
remain deferred until their permission and policy variants are understood.
