I said all four toast kinds were "the same pixel" in night. They were not.
Planting a reversion to hue names left the new distinctness test GREEN, because
in night `--blue`, `--green`, `--yellow` and `--red` are four different values
(2.29, 3.14, 4.52, 5.64 against a panel). What they are is cramped and badly
ranked, with info at 2.29:1 -- below the 3:1 floor, present and invisible.
The byte-identical pairs are real but elsewhere: `--orange` is `--text` and
`--yellow` is `--amber`, which bites a call site that reaches for those names,
not the toast mapping. The PR body has been corrected too.
So the distinctness assertion is not the one with teeth; the legibility floor
is. The monochrome toast test now measures every kind against the toast's own
surface, and the hue reversion fails it naming the number: 2.29:1.
Also from review:
`.wrolpi-message-error` still forced `border: 1.5px dashed var(--red)` while its
accent and icon had moved to roles -- nearly the same pixel in night, so no
colour test could see it. It follows `--message-color` now. Six more library
rules were naming a hue for a thing that means danger: the night danger button,
invalid form fields, invalid paths, path error text, danger panels and failed
table rows. All roles now, with a source guard that fails any rule whose
SELECTOR means severity and whose body names a hue. Focus rings and active-tab
accents deliberately keep `--blue`: those are the primary accent, not severity.
The tokens.css note claimed the brightness ramp held "in every theme" when the
tests deliberately limit it to monochrome. Narrowed, with the reason spelled
out, because the next person to read it would otherwise have "fixed" light to
match the prose -- which would mean reordering light's hues to satisfy a test.
Added the end-of-chain cases the review asked for: four toasts and four Messages
in night and amber, measured rather than inferred from variable names.
Colour reads now go through a strict `toRgb` that refuses anything not already
resolved. The reviewer's concern that `getPropertyValue('--info')` returns an
unresolved `var(--blue)` does not hold -- custom properties are substituted at
computed-value time and it returns `#20629c` -- but feeding an unresolved value
to a luminance calculation yields NaN, and `expect(NaN).to.not.equal(x)` passes.
Worth refusing loudly.

WROLPi
Create your own off-grid library.
WROLPi is a self-contained collection of software to help you survive the world Without Rule of Law.
WROLPi is intended to be run on a Raspberry Pi with an optional external drive attached. It serves up it's own Wi-Fi network so that any user with a laptop/tablet/phone can connect and use the library created by the maintainer.

Try WROLPi!
You can try out WROLPi by running the docker containers.
- Install docker-ce and docker-compose
- Copy the latest WROLPi code.
git clone https://github.com/lrnselfreliance/wrolpi.git
- Change directory into the code base.
cd wrolpi
- Initialize git submodules
git submodule update --init
- Build the containers.
docker-compose build --parallel
- Create volumes.
docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-datadocker volume create --name=openstreetmap-rendered-tiles
- Initialize the database (SQLite in the media directory).
docker-compose run --rm api db upgrade
- Start the docker containers.
docker-compose up
- Browse to WROLPi.
More Docker documentation is available in docker/README.md
Install WROLPi
Full installation instructions are in INSTALL.md. Pick the option that matches your hardware:
- WROLPi Portable (Live USB) — boot a complete WROLPi from a USB stick on any x86 PC or laptop. Nothing is installed to the computer; the first boot creates a persistence partition on the USB so your library, database, and configuration survive reboots.
- Debian 12 — install WROLPi onto an x86 PC or laptop.
- Raspberry Pi — install WROLPi onto a Raspberry Pi with an external drive.
- Docker — run the WROLPi containers on an existing Linux host.
Charter
Guiding Principals
- Storage is cheaper than power.
- Two is one, one is none.
- Run silently.
- Primary, secondary, tertiary.
- Secure as a bookshelf in your home.
Physical properties
- A WROLPi instance should be capable of running with a minimal of hardware:
- Raspberry Pi
- SD card
- External USB hard drive
- Power supply and cables
- Wi-Fi USER device such as a phone, tablet, or laptop.
- A WROLPi instance should consume a minimal amount of electricity during WROL event. It is expected power will be scarce when WROLPi is needed most.
User expectations
- A WROLPi instance should be run and maintained by a person (MAINTAINER) with a moderate amount of Linux and Raspberry Pi experience. It is expected that they should be able to do this using only the documentation on their WROLPi.
Software properties and capabilities
- A WROLPi instance should be able to "factory-reset" itself without any outside services.
- WROLPi should function completely without any internet services.
- A user should have easy access to their data if WROLPi fails:
- For example, a user can watch their videos by navigating a short and intuitive directory structure and opening the video in their preferred video player.
- WROLPi should be self-documented. The UI should contain a tutorial for USERS as well as the MAINTAINER.
- If the UI isn't functional, the code should be documented such that a user can restore functionality.
- WROLPi should favor pre-processing, rather than processing during a WROL event. Such as re-encoding a video, or processing captions. This is to ensure that when a user adds content during non-WROL time, the processing for optimum performance is already done for a WROL event.
