# UI client — topic docs

Deeper, topic-based documentation for the Galaxy web/cross-platform UI
client, beyond what fits in [`../README.md`](../README.md). Each file
describes how one area works (current state); the staged build history
lives in [`../PLAN.md`](../PLAN.md), the active web finalization in
[`../PLAN-finalize.md`](../PLAN-finalize.md), and deferred work in
[`../ROADMAP.md`](../ROADMAP.md).

## Foundation & platform

- [design-system.md](design-system.md) — the design tokens (colour /
  spacing / typography), the light/dark theming mechanism, and the
  component migration conventions.
- [navigation.md](navigation.md) — routes, the sidebar tabs, and the
  state-preservation rules across view/tab switches.
- [storage.md](storage.md) — the `KeyStore` and `Cache` abstractions and
  their web (IndexedDB) implementations.
- [game-state.md](game-state.md) — decoding the FlatBuffers report into
  `GameReport` and the `GameState` / rendered-report stores.
- [sync-protocol.md](sync-protocol.md) — order-draft sync, turn cutoff,
  conflict handling, and auto-pause.
- [events.md](events.md) — the signed push channel and event handling.
- [calc-bridge.md](calc-bridge.md) — the `pkg/calc` → WASM → TypeScript
  bridge, with the live function surface and parity rules.
- [wasm-toolchain.md](wasm-toolchain.md) — building `ui/core` to
  `core.wasm` with TinyGo.
- [testing.md](testing.md) — the UI test layers (Vitest + Playwright).

## Auth & lobby

  request signing on the client.
