refactor(ui): strip site to plain Big-Tech-blunt HTML#22
Merged
Conversation
Drop Bootstrap, Google Fonts, Material Symbols, the teal accent, the "E" brand mark, and decorative patterns (eyebrow+dot, charter letters, contact-channels grid, data-reveal, etc.). Replace project.css with a ~140-line system-font stylesheet (black/white/grey, blue underlined links). Rewrite every page template (ja/en home, holdings, software, company, contact, business, vision, legal/privacy, legal/cookies) and the 403/404/500 error pages around plain section/h1/h2/dl/ul markup. Cookie and privacy pages no longer claim to load Google Fonts or a Bootstrap CDN, matching the stripped base template. The unused header-scroll project.js is removed. Verified: manage.py check passes; Django dev server returns 200 for all 18 public pages and the CSS asset; no decorative-class or external-CDN tokens remain in the rendered HTML.

Run djlint --reformat to satisfy the linter pre-commit hook. Mostly expands inline <dd>foo</dd> and single-line <a> tags inside list items to multiline form. No content or template-logic changes.

Branch protection on main requires a status check named "pytest", but the CI workflow had only "linter" and "django" jobs, so PRs could never satisfy the rule. Add pytest + pytest-django to the dev dependency group, add a tests/ package with smoke tests that hit every public page (ja and en) plus robots.txt and sitemap.xml, and add a "pytest" job to ci.yml that runs them. The tests also assert that the home page no longer contains the removed decorative tokens (data-reveal, material-symbols, brand-mark, navbar-toggler, cdnjs.cloudflare, fonts.googleapis), guarding against regressions of the blunt-redesign cleanup.

Summary
Make the public site simple and "blunt" in the spirit of Big Tech corporate pages — system fonts, black-on-white text, blue underlined links, and zero decoration.
What changed
ether/static/css/project.csswith a ~140-line stylesheet using only system fonts and a black/white/grey + blue-link palette. Drops the teal accent, custom buttons, blur effects, reveal animations, grid card components, and Material Symbols sizing rules.project.js. The header is now a brand link plus a flat list of nav links; the footer is a copyright line plus a flat list of links.home,holdings,software,company,contact,business,vision,legal/privacy,legal/cookiesaround<section><h1><h2><dl><ul>.

Why
Continues the simplification direction (#21). The previous pass kept material icons, decorative eyebrow+dot patterns, custom button systems, and CDN-hosted Bootstrap/Google Fonts; this pass takes them out so the site looks closer to a boring corporate "facts" page than a marketing landing page.
