# Implementation Status: Token Pipeline + UI + Penpot Connectivity

## Milestone: Real Token Pipeline + Shared UI + Penpot Validated — DELIVERED

### What was delivered

**Real design tokens integrated**
- Replaced seed tokens with aichemist-design-tokens.json (94 tokens, DTCG format)
- Source: ~/apps/Penpot/aichemist-design-tokens.json (extracted from Penpot design system)
- Token reference resolution added: {group.name} → var(--group-name) CSS references
- 6 token groups: color, typography, spacing, borderRadius, shadow, gradient + components

**Shared UI components (packages/ui/)**
- Button: primary/secondary variants, sm/md/lg sizes
- Card: content container with optional title
- Tabs: interactive tab navigation with panel switching
- All styled via CSS custom properties — zero hardcoded values, project-agnostic
- TypeScript compiles clean, works in Next.js and Astro

**Next.js pilot surface (apps/web/)**
- Next.js 15 + React 19 + TypeScript
- Full pilot page with: 4 Button variants, Card, Tabs, color token grid
- Consumes tokens from packages/tokens → packages/ui → page
- Static build succeeds (457 B home page)

**CSA source bundle schema (packages/csa/)**
- JSON Schema 2020-12 for source bundles that feed CSA pipeline
- Fields: project, delivery summary, audience, GitHub evidence, screenshots, follow-ups, decisions
- Python validator (zero deps) with structural validation
- Project-specific config — CSA pipeline itself is existing system at ~/Documents/CSA/

**Penpot connectivity validated**
- penpot.chem.dev operational (HTTP 200, Docker 6 containers healthy)
- API auth confirmed: Token-based (JWE), profile: aiChemist agency
- Team ID: 91d97d2e-44ae-8011-8007-60ed182724da
- Features: design-tokens/v1, variants/v1, components/v2, plugins/runtime
- Local endpoint: http://localhost:9001 (preferred for VPS-local calls)
- MCP server: @zcubekr/penpot-mcp-server with 40+ tools

**CRITICAL CLARIFICATION**: CMS-aiChemist is a MULTI-PROJECT orchestration system, not single-project. Architecture and tooling must be project-agnostic, working across any existing/new/future visual design and frontend projects.
