feat(site): "The Case File" redesign — drop the AI-terminal look#22
Merged
Conversation
Re-skin the marketing site around a detective/case-file identity that ties the lens-detective mascot, the magnifying-glass name, and the investigate→verdict product framing together — and away from the generic dark + mono + gradient-text "AI terminal" template. Design - Warm manila/ink/amber palette, light-default; warm "night stakeout" dark. Removed the multi-palette (data-palette) machinery entirely — one intentional pair of themes instead of swatch soup. - Fraunces serif for display type (was Space Grotesk); real pairing against Inter/JetBrains Mono. - Verdict fit-call rendered as a rotated rubber stamp; killed gradient text (.grad-text, health number) — both AI tells — for solid accent. - Detective-framed section eyebrows: the verdict / the case file / the procedure / the detective. Mascot expressions relabelled to case beats (On the case, Reading, Deep dive, Cleared, Suspicious, Off duty). - All token references (accent/warm weak+line, shadows) defined in both :root and .dark — verified no transparent surfaces. Docs & housekeeping - README: v3.0.0 + 730+ tests badges, detective tagline, the v2/v3 surfaces (Triage, Evaluate/compare, Discover) and a v3-forward "What's new" replacing the stale v1.x wall. - Move audit report to docs/audits/; delete dead PaletteSwatches; ignore Playwright MCP scratch output. Build + lint green; both themes pass WCAG AA on body text.

Re-skins the marketing site around a detective / case-file identity — tying the lens-detective mascot, the magnifying-glass name, and the investigate → verdict product framing together — and away from the generic dark + mono + gradient-text "AI terminal" template.
Why
The site read like every other AI-tool landing page (dark default, monospace everything, gradient-clipped headlines, swatch soup). This gives RepoLens a point of view that matches what the product actually does: open the case file on a repo and hand down a verdict.
