Every module now explains itself in the app: a line under its title and under each control, more on a tap. The help is written once, in the module's header, generated into one file the browser fetches, so the firmware carries none of the text. The docs site draws its catalog cards from the same file and gains a card deck per catalog page. This is the pilot of Plan: help in the UI, from the headers; the module-by-module migration and the technical pages follow.

One source: the header

  • gen_help.py reads the registry through libclang, with no build, and writes the committed docs/help/help.json: per module its line, summary, guide, attribution, picture and each control's line and longer help, plus its role, tags and dimension.
  • Block tags @card and @attribution, and @guide for the user sections, so the header names what the file carries; @moreinfo stays for developers.
  • Gradual, the strangler fig: a module whose catalog card still has a body is read from the card, so every module has help today. BeatRipples, Picture and FseqPlayer moved into their headers, and their cards are drawn from help.json.

In the app

  • A module's line under its title, opening on a tap to its summary, picture, guide, attribution and links to the docs, source and tests. Each control's line sits under the field, Material's helper text, with ▸ for more.
  • The ⓘ in the status bar shows or hides all help. Labels, tabs and values are near-white and the help a step below, grouped under its field.
  • The help comes from the docs site and is cached for offline use; the privacy policy lists the fetch.
  • src/ui/help.js holds the help rendering, the emoji vocabulary and the chip filter, shared by the app's type picker and the docs site.

On the docs site

  • Card decks for effects, layouts, modifiers, drivers, system and services: the picker's emoji chips, search, tap to turn a card, drag with a glide, and a size slider down to a spread of every card.
  • Every catalog card shows its attribution.

Checks

  • check_docgen fails a stale help.json and a control line that states its default or range (72 lines fixed); check_specs and check_docgen read drawn cards as the build draws them.
  • The Reviewer's twelve findings were processed in the commit, among them a stored-XSS path through help.json links, now closed: https-only links built as elements, and ?help= for one tab only.
  • Pre-commit: every gate passed. Flash grows 2.6 to 2.8 KB per ESP32 target, the help feature's browser code; the shared help.js is 526 bytes smaller gzipped than the same code inside app.js.

Verified on hardware

  • MM-testbench-S3: the firmware serves help.js, and the module and control help shows on the device.
  • Desktop: the help, the ⓘ toggle and the type picker's chips from the shared file.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • The app now offers a toggleable help display with explanations for modules and controls. Help content is cached, and module images load when their details are opened.
    • Documentation now includes searchable, filterable card decks for browsing effects, layouts, modifiers, drivers, system modules, and services.
  • Documentation
    • The privacy policy now describes help-related internet requests and browser-local storage.
    • Updated module guides clarify controls and add help content and attribution.

Every module explains itself in the app: a line under its title and under each control, more on a tap, all from one help file generated from the module headers and fetched by the browser, so the firmware carries none of the text. The docs site draws its catalog cards from the same file and gains a card deck per catalog page, with the app's emoji filter, search, turning cards and a size slider.

Flash: esp32 +2.7 KB, esp32s3-n16r8 +2.8 KB, esp32p4rev1-eth +2.6 KB, the help feature's browser code; the shared help.js is 526 bytes smaller gzipped than the same code inside app.js.

**Core**
- `HttpServerModule` serves `help.js`, and `serveFile` looks the embedded UI files up in one table instead of a branch per file.
- The UI rebuild rule is a glob over `src/ui` in the desktop, Teensy and ESP32 builds, which also re-embeds `migrate.js`, `semver.js` and `preview-adapt.js` on an edit.

**Light domain**
- BeatRipples, Picture and FseqPlayer carry their user help in their headers: the class comment's first line, `@card`, `@attribution`, a `@guide` with `## fit` and `## sampling` as Picture's control help, and one-line member comments; their catalog cards are cut to their headings.

**UI**
- Help per module (the line, a tap opens summary, picture, guide, attribution and links) and per control (Material's helper line, ▸ for more), fetched from the docs site and cached for offline use; the ⓘ in the status bar shows or hides it.
- Labels, tab titles and values at high emphasis, help a step below in `--fg-subtle`, grouped under its field by proximity.
- `src/ui/help.js` holds the help rendering, the emoji vocabulary and the chip filter, shared by the app's picker and the docs site; links and pictures from the file must be https, and `?help=<url>` lasts one tab.

**Scripts/MoonDeck**
- `gen_help.py`: libclang reads the registry with no build and writes the committed `docs/help/help.json`, with each module's role, tags and dimension; a card with a body is still read from its card, the named strangler-fig bridge.
- `mkdocs_hooks.py` draws a heading-only card from help.json, shows every card's attribution, links drawn cards to the test inventory, and generates the effects, layouts, modifiers, drivers, system and services decks; `help-deck.js` renders them with mouse drag, glide, a remembered size and a spread layout when small.
- `check_docgen` fails a stale help.json (and says so without LLVM), reads `@guide` as an appendix, measures drawn cards, and blocks a control line that states its default or range; `check_specs` reads catalog pages as drawn; `preview_installer` serves `help/help.json`.

**Tests**
- `test_gen_help.py`: levels, block tags, guide-as-more, member, above and behind comments, the card bridge and its flattening, absolute links, drawn cards and kept anchors; `ui-help.test.mjs`: escaping, https-only links, the chip filter, display names; check_docgen's restating rule and the no-LLVM report; the emoji and picker tests read `help.js`.

**Docs/CI**
- The plan, the documentation standards (`@guide`, block tags, drawn cards, the control-line rule), `ui.md`, the privacy policy and security page (the help fetch), MoonDeck.md; 72 catalog control lines lose a default or range, and layouts.md and modifiers.md lose their em-dashes.

**Reviews**
- 👾 help.json links went into `href` unchecked and `?help=` persisted a source: fixed, https-only links built as elements, `?help=` per tab, only the docs site's file cached.
- 👾 the card bridge rendered `<video>`, fences and tables as text and dropped non-control bullets: fixed, flattened and counted per run.
- 👾 `check_docgen` aborted without LLVM: fixed, reported as an unchecked finding.
- 👾 `check_specs` read a cut card as the whole page: fixed, it reads the page as drawn.
- 👾 the restating rule's comment counted 82 lines: fixed, the rule blocks and catches "up to N".
- 👾 the deck printed "undefined", failed silently, doubled a CSS rule, scrolled past a scrollbar and left resize listeners: fixed.
- 👾 hard-wrapped comments, present-tense and duplicate wording, an alias, a duplicated docs URL, hidden variation selectors, an unused report field: fixed.
- 👾 the CLAUDE.md "max 400" edit rides along: accepted, the product owner's earlier change.
- 👾 `.status-value` lost its 12 px: accepted, it matches a display value's size by design; the comment says so.

📝 Walkthrough

The changes add generated module help for the app and documentation site. They add help rendering, browseable catalog decks, related build and documentation checks, and refreshed catalog descriptions and metrics.

Changes: Help authoring and app display

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generate help data
moondeck/docs/gen_help.py, src/light/effects/*.h, docs/contributing/documentation-standards.md, test/python/test_gen_help.py, docs/work/present/*
A new generator extracts help from module headers or catalog cards and writes JSON. Header comments now supply documented help fields, and tests cover parsing and link conversion.
Render and serve app help
src/ui/help.js, src/ui/app.js, src/ui/migrate.js, src/ui/style.css, src/ui/index.html, src/ui/embed_ui.cmake, src/core/system/HttpServerModule.cpp, CMakeLists.txt, esp32/main/CMakeLists.txt, teensy/CMakeLists.txt
The app loads help data, renders module and control help, and persists help visibility. Shared help and emoji utilities are embedded and served. The UI build commands now discover matching source assets through CMake globs.
Document help behavior and storage
docs/moonmodules/core/ui.md, docs/legal/privacy-policy.md, docs/explanation/security.md, moondeck/run/preview_installer.py
The documentation covers help retrieval, caching, visibility, URL overrides, and local storage. Preview staging copies the help JSON when the source file exists.

Documentation catalog decks and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Populate catalog cards and add decks
moondeck/docs/mkdocs_hooks.py, docs/assets/help-deck.js, docs/assets/extra.css, mkdocs.yml, docs/moonmodules/light/index.md
MkDocs populates eligible catalog cards from help data and generates deck pages. The deck adds search, filtering, navigation, card flipping, and size controls.
Check generated help and catalog descriptions
moondeck/check/check_docgen.py, moondeck/check/check_specs.py, test/python/test_check_docgen.py, moondeck/MoonDeck.md, moondeck/test/test_host.py
Documentation checks validate generated-help freshness, populated cards, and control text that repeats defaults or ranges. The tests and command reference cover the added checks.
Update catalog and generated-page content
docs/moonmodules/core/*, docs/moonmodules/light/*, moondeck/docs/gen_api.py
Catalog descriptions remove many stated defaults and ranges. Selected effect and layout descriptions change, and generated technical pages process guide and attribution markers.

Supporting updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Refresh repository and scenario metrics
docs/reference/metrics/*, test/scenarios/light/scenario_Effects_pipeline_builds_and_renders.json
The metrics reports and desktop macOS scenario measurements are updated to the recorded snapshot.
State the strict pull-request limit
CLAUDE.md, docs/how-to/adding-a-stream-source.md
Contributor guidance changes the line limit to a maximum of 400 changed lines and keeps the ten-file limit.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 61c88

Keyboard users can lose access to deck links and help controls, and filtered navigation can skip cards. Fix those interactions before merging; the remaining help-text and documentation corrections are localized.

Remove the inactive card face from keyboard navigation.

Both faces contain DOM content after inner is appended. A CSS rotation and backface-visibility hide a face visually, but do not disable its links or summaries. A keyboard user can therefore focus controls on the face that is not showing. Set inert on the inactive face and update it whenever the card flips.

Handle flip keys only when the card itself has focus.

When a keyboard user presses Enter on a link or summary inside the card, this event bubbles to the card. The handler prevents the control’s default action and flips the card instead. Check e.target === el before handling Enter or Space so nested help controls remain usable.

Measure a visible card for filtered navigation.

When a filter hides cards[0], its offsetWidth is zero and step uses 280 pixels. At the default scale, visible cards are substantially narrower, so one press of Next can skip a card. Measure the first visible card, including the row gap, or navigate by visible-card positions.

 The desktop tests pass, the source works on the board it is for, and a board without the device builds and shows a status rather than failing.

This is a documentation-maintainability violation, not a major workflow failure. The correction is a recommended, low-effort refactor.

![layouts controls](../../assets/core/Layouts.png)

Every layout, one block each: what it does and what each control means — together. A layout maps light indices to physical `(x, y, z)` positions — it defines the *shape* an [effect](effects.md) draws onto and a [driver](drivers.md) sends out. The [Layouts](moxygen/Layouts.md) container holds one or more layout children and composes them into one coordinate space; a [Layer](moxygen/Layer.md) renders over that combined space.

Split the two long layout descriptions.

Vale flags both sentences for exceeding 30 words. Split the geometry description from the wiring detail.

Update the two long layout descriptions in the documentation so each is split
into concise sentences separating geometry or layout behavior from wiring
details. Apply this to the concentric-ring headlight description and the M×N
matrix-panel description, preserving their existing technical meaning.

Every modifier, one block each: its preview, what it does, and what each control means, together. A modifier sits between an [effect](effects.md) and the output: it reshapes *where* pixels land (or masks them) without changing the effect's drawing. Modifiers compose: a [Layer](moxygen/Layer.md) folds its whole modifier stack each rebuild; a *dynamic* modifier (one that overrides `modifyLive`) also runs a per-frame pass, and an *animated* one keeps a static fold but rebuilds it on its own clock. See [ModifierBase](moxygen/ModifierBase.md) for the static-vs-dynamic split. Each block's emoji are its `tags()` (see the [tag emoji legend](../../explanation/architecture/index.md#tag-emoji-legend)); **Kind** is static (baked into the mapping at rebuild) or dynamic (per-frame remap). Modifiers are grouped into sections, and each block carries that modifier's preview, behavior, and control descriptions together. (For how this page maps to the source/asset folders, see the [folder-structure decision](../../contributing/documentation-standards.md#module-pages).)

A modifier folds coordinates rather than drawing, so it reaches for very little of the shared [power function](power-functions.md) toolbox — that page states the split and lists which modifiers use what.

Remove the emphasis word.

Vale flags “very” as emphasis without information. Replace “reaches for very little” with the direct phrase “uses little.”

The help text says the effect plays FSEQ, but prepare() says it does not.

gen_help publishes this lead as the app's help. Line 11 tells users "It plays uncompressed FSEQ v2." prepare() (Line 38) still sets the status "reads no FSEQ file yet: playback is the next step". A user then sees help that promises playback next to a status that denies it. Fix one side:

  • If playback is not implemented yet, say so in the lead.
  • If it is implemented, remove the stale status.
Proposed fix (playback still pending)

applyHelpShown must update aria-label, not only title.

index.html hard-codes aria-label="Show help", and aria-label takes precedence over title for the button's accessible name. So a screen reader always announces "Show help", even while help is visible and aria-pressed="true". Use one fixed label with aria-pressed, which is the standard toggle-button pattern.

Proposed fix
-    if (btn) { btn.setAttribute("aria-pressed", String(shown)); btn.title = shown ? "Hide help" : "Show help"; }
+    if (btn) {
+        btn.setAttribute("aria-pressed", String(shown));
+        btn.setAttribute("aria-label", "Help");
+        btn.title = shown ? "Hide help" : "Show help";
