POC Config Generator

[charlesnutter]

Initial POC for the form generator

Dtails

• Form column (⅓ width, clamped 340–480px), five accordion sections: Site information; Appearance with preset radio cards (color swatches), layout picker with schematic icons, and the nested theme-design overrides (primary color + font); Recipes as checkboxes with descriptions — checking Blog reveals its options subsection with items_per_page; Content layout with add/reorder/remove for advertised blocks (unchecking a recipe pulls its blocks out of the composition); Extra configuration with three curated globals (slogan, site mail, registration policy). Download button at the bottom.
• Preview pane with two tabs. Preview renders the mock homepage — sidebar or single-column shell, styled entirely by --pv-* CSS variables carrying the real preset tokens I transcribed from the three preset files, dummy content per recipe (the blog list even honors items_per_page, and an empty composition falls back to the blog's /writing front or a "welcome" placeholder). config.dq.yml shows the generated file with a copy button.
• The emitter is verified, not just eyeballed: I drove the component headlessly in Node with the exact smoke-test inputs, parsed the output with Symfony Yaml, and asserted the structure — recipe entry forms, homepage blocks, parameters all correct. The rendered file matches the smoke-test sample section for section, including the commented block catalog.
