PointSav Documentation

The engineering library for the PointSav platform — operating systems and services for regulated businesses that own their data, their AI, and their record-keeping outright. Where the monorepo holds the code, this wiki holds the reasoning: architecture, services, security, and the governance commitments that bind future development.

The design-system category covers the PointSav design system as a platform component — its foundational vocabulary, design philosophy, and brand surface context. It addresses the design system as a concept within the platform: why it exists, how it is structured, and what brand identity it carries. Component implementation guides, token specifications, accessibility documentation, and spatial UI specifications live in the design system repository at `design.pointsav.com`.
The design-system category covers the PointSav design system as a platform component — its foundational vocabulary, design philosophy, brand surface context, and the foundation-layer token families that the operator-facing surfaces inherit. It addresses the design system as a concept within the platform: why it exists, how it is structured, what brand identity it carries, and where the foundational token vocabulary aligns with field convention. Component implementation guides, accessibility specifications, and the working surface live in the design system repository at `design.pointsav.com`; this category supplies the architectural framing.

## Articles in this category
The design system is itself one of the platform's load-bearing substrates — see [[design-system-substrate]] for the substrate framing — and inherits the same customer-ownership, machine-readability, and editor-agnostic interoperability disciplines that the rest of the platform applies to its data layers.

- [[design-philosophy]] — why the substrate exists; three structural inversions of the enterprise-tier pattern.
- [[design-primitive-vocabulary]] — vocabulary rationale; what the substrate preserved from field convention and what it replaced.
- [[brand-family-swatch]] — the PointSav brand colour families and their application across product surfaces.
- [[brand-typography]] — the editorial voice and typographic identity of the PointSav brand.
## Philosophy and primitive vocabulary

## Component guides and token documentation
The foundational decisions: why the substrate exists, what it preserved from convention, what it replaced.

Component usage guides (HTML+CSS+ARIA recipes), foundation token specifications, wiki-surface component documentation, and spatial and accessibility specifications have moved to the design system repository. Browse them at `design.pointsav.com`.
- [[design-philosophy]] — Why the substrate exists; three structural inversions of the enterprise-tier pattern; self-hosted, customer-owned, editor-agnostic token publishing.
- [[design-primitive-vocabulary]] — Vocabulary rationale: numeric colour scales, layered semantic aliasing, productive-versus-expressive type split, and numeric spacing scales aligned with 2018 to 2026 field convention.
- [[design-system-substrate]] — The substrate framing: self-hosted design-system engine storing tokens and components in the customer's own git repository; W3C DTCG token format; machine-readable MCP endpoint.

## Foundation tokens

The four foundation-layer token families: colour, typography, spacing, and motion. Full specifications maintained in `pointsav-design-system` and published at `design.pointsav.com/foundations/`.

- [[design-color]] — Colour token foundations: primitive palette, semantic aliases, and dark-mode pairings in DTCG format.
- [[design-typography]] — Typography token foundations: type scale, font stacks, fluid type variables, and reading rhythm tokens.
- [[design-spacing]] — Spacing token foundations: base unit, geometric scale, component gap tokens, and layout margin tokens.
- [[design-motion]] — Motion token foundations: duration scale, easing curves, and reduced-motion variants.

## Brand surface

How the brand identity is encoded as colour families and typographic stacks across PointSav and Woodfine product surfaces.

- [[brand-family-swatch]] — Brand colour families assigned to retail and institutional anchor categories in the co-location GIS surface; consistent colour-coded identifiers for map visualisation and tabular data.
- [[brand-typography]] — The typographic separation between web interface system fonts and institutional print typography; open-licence serif typefaces reserved for PDF generation and formal disclosures.

## Wiki surface design

The component vocabulary, typographic system, and dark-mode palette that compose the `documentation.pointsav.com` reading surface.

- [[wiki-component-library]] — Nine reusable interface components that compose a complete wiki article page; Wikipedia layout conventions, current accessibility standards, PointSav token system.
- [[wiki-typography-system]] — IBM Plex Sans and IBM Plex Mono type stack, heading scale, and spacing tokens for the wiki; broad linguistic coverage for bilingual content.
- [[wiki-dark-mode]] — Light and dark colour schemes for the wiki: WCAG-verified palettes and theme persistence via localStorage.

## Related foundations

The architectural and substrate articles that frame the design system within the wider platform.

- [[building-design-system-bim]] — Design-system tooling adapted for BIM and real-property workflows, paired with ISO 19650 record-keeping discipline.
- [[aec-interface-conventions]] — Interface conventions for AEC surfaces that the design system inherits and extends.
- [[knowledge-wiki-leapfrog-architecture]] — How the wiki engine consumes the design system's tokens and components to render Wikipedia-shaped chrome over flat Markdown.
