Ports the visual redesign from the docs site (shorebirdtech/docs #500, #504, and the header logo size fix) to the handbook. No content files are touched.
What changed
@astrojs/starlight-tailwindforstarlight-theme-nova, and setexpressiveCode: falseas Nova requires.src/tailwind.csswithsrc/styles/custom.css, copied from docs: General Sans font faces, background colors, restored list bullets, dark-mode code block background, nested sidebar label styling, and the 1.5rem header logo.public/fonts/and a font preload in the head.ThemeSelect.astrooverride and its two Tabler icons from docs.Skipped from docs on purpose: the
MarkdownContentandHeadoverrides only exist for image zoom and OG image generation, which the handbook does not use. The docs content changes (LinkCard, CodeTabs, LinkButton) are not ported because they rewrite copy.One intentional visual change: the old teal accent palette is gone, so links render as underlined text in Nova's neutral palette, matching docs.
Verification
data-themeas well as thedarkclass), the FSQS logo and CEO headshot render, code blocks, lists, tables, and the note aside render, the three-level nested sidebar renders, search returns Pagefind results, and the mobile menu opens.npm run format:check,npx --no allow-scripts, andnpm run build(astro check plus build with link validation) all pass locally.
