The Field Manual is a page in the app - #170

The walk-to-filed loop, written down where the walker can reach it: /manual, in the app's own Quadrangle voice — condensed mastheads, the walker's words in the serif italic, and the Route legend coloured by the same strict roles the desk uses. The legend is derived, not transcribed: the Kinds proposing each Route come from routeForKind and KIND_LABELS, and the rows from THREAD_ROUTES, so the manual cannot drift from the vocabulary it documents. Where a destination is not live it says so plainly — Spec needs SPEC_HANDOFF_GITHUB_TOKEN, the task list lands with #160 — rather than describing an aspiration. Reachable from the desk header beside Interview, and from the foot of the Interview page.

The To-do merge left .todo-tally unterminated, so from that line to the end of the file every rule was parsed as declarations of that block and silently discarded — .day-flow (#168) and all 39 .manual-* rules (#170) included. Nothing errored: the build passed, the pages rendered, the CSS sat right there in the file. It just never applied, and /days shipped unusable. Restores the brace, and adds tests/globals-css.spec.ts so this cannot recur invisibly: the braces must balance, and each surface's rules (.manual-sheet, .day-flow, .todo-items, .shell) must sit at the top level rather than nested inside an earlier block or a media query. CSS is the one part of this app with no type checker, and HTTP 200s and passing suites are both blind to a dead stylesheet. No-ticket: true

Summary
The walk-to-filed loop, written down where the walker can actually reach it:
/manual, in the app's own Quadrangle voice rather than as an external doc — condensed mastheads, the walker's words in the serif italic, and the Route legend coloured by the same strict roles the desk uses.It reads start to finish: on the trail (Capture, offline, one Thread each) → on the way home (title, Kind, Project guess, report, or a question back) → at the desk (the three-step flow) → the legend → where things end up → the backlog → what still needs setup.
The legend is derived, not transcribed. The Kinds proposing each Route come from
routeForKindandKIND_LABELS; the rows come fromTHREAD_ROUTES. Adding a Kind or a Route updates the manual on its own, so it cannot drift from the vocabulary it documents.It states what is not live. Spec is marked Needs a token (
SPEC_HANDOFF_GITHUB_TOKEN, per ADR 0018) and To-do Landing next (#160 is still open), rather than describing an aspiration as though it worked.Reachable from the desk header beside Interview, and from the foot of the Interview page.
Test plan
/manualand was reviewed in a real browser at three scroll positions — masthead, the three step cards, and the full legend — inside the app's own chrome and tab barmain, not the prototype: the keys (⏎ s t n p x r j) againstcomponents/day-flow.tsx, the ~25 m spot clustering,/journal/notebook, and the spec-handoff messagespnpm exec tsc --noEmitclean; eslint clean on every file this PR adds or touches (the pre-existingdesk-workspace.tsx:860error onmainis untouched)No-ticket: true
