The site's information architecture, aligned with the three things

Generated at: 2026-09-04T11:23:58.207Z UTC · source: committed helm-expt evidence for this rendered repository document.

The site has 45 top-level pages, a seven-item nav, and 1,124 rendered documents, grown over eight months. The definition now says ConfigHub Workshop is three things: a verified catalog, platforms and stacks on demand, and operating apps, platforms, and stacks correctly in ConfigHub (what-config-workshop-is.md). This plan maps every page to that structure, names what each page must let a reader understand and do, retires what does not serve it, and removes the leftovers in this repository that the plugin superseded. Nothing on the site is outside this map when it is done.

The shape

Five nav items replace seven: Catalog · Stacks · Operate · Why trust it · Docs, plus the ConfigHub sign-up as a button. The homepage keeps its four doors (I use Helm, I run Flux or Argo CD, I want a platform, I need a stack) and its six starting questions; each question lands in one of the three sections. The footer mirrors the sections.

Each section has one hub page with a "Run it" block: the plugin commands, and links to the manifest, proof, or walkthrough in the cub-workshop repository at stable paths. The site never copies plugin files; it links them. Everything a user runs lives in cub-workshop; everything a user reads, and every receipt, lives here.

Section 1: the verified catalog

What a reader understands: tested configuration, one form, an image per variant, with a receipt. What they do: check a chart, pull an image, verify it.

Page todayDispositionReader understands and does
charts/indexkeep, section hubfind a component and version, pull its image, see its receipt; the Run it block: cub config check, cub config verify

entry-path-reference, deployment-reference, docs-referencedone: entry-path-reference forwards to the catalog hub; deployment-reference and docs-reference forward to Docs, which now carries the complete reference index and the processing model in one collapsed blockreference tables fold into the map

Section 2: platforms and stacks on demand

What a reader understands: describe what you want, get tested parts, checked before anything runs; your assistant can pick. What they do: sandbox a stack, generate a platform, let an assistant compose.

Page todayDispositionReader understands and does
stackkeep, section hubstacks and fleets; the Run it block: cub stack sandbox, cub stack certify, cub stack publish; the shipped examples with their manifests

Section 3: operate with ConfigHub

What a reader understands: the ladder, upload, release, promote, roll back, and gates that refuse. What they do: upload an image, release by digest, promote, compare with live.

Leftovers removed from this repository

The plugin superseded the prototypes, so they are gone: examples/cub-stack, examples/cub-app, the cub-config, cub-app, and cub-stack scripts, the fleet generator, and the cub:* npm scripts. Every page and doc that pointed at them now points at cub-workshop. The fleet-slice and stack-sandbox receipts stay as evidence, and the eks-inference bindings the composition verdict reads live with that evidence under data/eks-inf-replica/source/.

How it lands

  1. Nav, footer, and the three hubs with their Run it blocks; the definition page linked from every hub.
  2. The merges, one page at a time, each with the UX contract updated.
  3. The retirements as redirect stubs, so no inbound link breaks.
  4. The prototype cleanup in this repository (done).
  5. The persona pass again: the walkers and three fresh-eyes reads, then fixes (done on 2026-09-03; the walker snapshots sit under data/site-persona-simulations-2026-09-03-ia-before and -after, and the reads led to inline product-or-plugin tags on the homepage commands, an Argo CD 2.x note, the registry's owner and retention on the Flux page, a pricing line and the 245 denominator on Offering, the fresh-organization gate beside the Kubara benefits, and promotion as a next step from Try, ConfigHub, AI, and the catalog hub).

Done means: every page on the site appears in this map with its disposition carried out; every "what you can do" line in the definition has one page that delivers it; the nav has five items; nothing a user runs is described only in a planning document.

The chrome

The site shares its look with the ConfigHub docs, so a reader moving between the two feels no seam. The generator applies it to every page in one place, injectSiteChrome, and nothing else on a page changes.

  • Palettes. Warm paper by day and slate by night, keyed to the same rust accent the docs use for links and active states. The tokens live once in the shared stylesheet and once in the homepage stylesheet; both follow the reader's colour-scheme preference.
  • Type. Manrope for headings, Inter for body text, IBM Plex Mono for code, loaded from Google Fonts with system fallbacks.
  • The banner. The five tabs and the ConfigHub button sit in a sticky banner above every page: Catalog, Stacks, Operate, Why trust it, Docs.
  • The section sidebar. Built from the page map in this plan. The current section opens with its pages listed; the other four sit collapsed below. Chart pages belong to Catalog and rendered docs belong to Docs. On narrow screens the sidebar becomes a collapsed Browse block above the page.
  • The contents column. Any page with three or more headings gets an On this page list on the right, built from the page's own headings.

Not built yet: search, a palette toggle button, and a full-width table mode for the evidence index.
