feat(landing): rebuild the home page around the promise, not the definition - #36

Conversation
…nition The home page was written for someone who had already decided to use this: the first three screens said what Commit Check is and is not. A visitor who has never heard of it needs to know what it takes off their hands. The page now opens with the claim no competitor can make -- one config file, enforced in the commit-msg hook, in CI, on the pull request and in an AI agent -- next to a real transcript of the tool handing back the corrected line. Then the organisations already running it, the four costs of not running it, what the 22 rules cover, what a pull request actually looks like, how to start, which surface to pick, what it costs, and the questions people ask before adopting. Nothing on it is unverifiable: the rule count comes from ALL_RULES, the terminal samples are transcripts, the ten AI tools are ALL_KNOWN_TOOLS, and no download count, star count or coverage figure appears anywhere. The header is deliberately left alone. Instant navigation swaps a fixed set of elements between documents and the header is not one of them, so a header overridden here would follow the reader onto the docs pages and the docs header would follow them back. landing.css restyles it instead: the theme diffs <head> on navigation, so the stylesheet is added on arrival and removed on the way out. It is linked from the template rather than listed in extra_css so the documentation pages never load it. The old home.html template and the home-page rules in stylesheets/extra.css are now unused. They are left in place to keep this reviewable; a follow-up removes them once this is confirmed in production. Assets: demo.gif is copied from the CLI repository rather than hotlinked, so the page does not break when another repository is reorganised. Its first frame is empty and its last is full, so the still shown under prefers-reduced-motion is frame 630, and the recording sits below the fold rather than in the hero. The merge-box screenshot is the Marketplace one cropped past its padding and scaled to 1200px.

The two tinted bands (`.cc-proof`, `.cc-community`) escape the content column with `margin: 0 -100vw` and pay it back with `padding: calc(100vw + 0.8rem)`. That works only if something above them clips the overflow. Nothing did, so the bands grew the document instead: measured with Playwright against a local build, `documentElement.scrollWidth` was 2754px on a 1440px viewport -- a horizontal scrollbar at every breakpoint, 1440/1440 on the page this replaces. `clip` rather than `hidden`: `hidden` would turn `.md-main` into a scroll container, which breaks the sticky header and in-page anchors. After the fix, on the same build: 1440/1440 desktop, 390/390 mobile, and /rules/ unchanged at 1440/1440 with both sidebars.

…units Screenshots at 390px showed the headline, the buttons and the transcript all running off the right edge while `documentElement.scrollWidth` read a healthy 390. The previous commit's `overflow-x: clip` was hiding the symptom: the content column itself was 801px inside a 390px window, so the page did not scroll, it just cut its own content off. The cause is that `.md-content` is a flex item, so its min-content width is the widest thing inside it, and `margin: 0 -100vw` counts towards that. A percentage margin resolves against the containing block and contributes nothing to intrinsic width, so `calc(50% - 50vw)` bleeds to the window edges without inflating the column. `overflow-x: clip` stays, now doing only the job it can do: absorbing the few pixels by which 100vw exceeds the viewport when a classic scrollbar is present. Measured on a local build, viewport / content column / band extent: 1440 light 1440 col 1188 band [0, 1440] 1440 dark 1440 col 1188 band [0, 1440] 768 light 768 col 736 band [0, 768] 390 light 390 col 358 band [0, 390] 390 dark 390 col 358 band [0, 390] Two smaller things the same screenshots turned up: - The hero transcript was clipped mid-sentence at the wrapper's border, because that wrapper had `overflow: hidden` to round its corners. Its longest line is 93 characters of real output and shortening it would make it a fake, so it soft-wraps instead -- which is what a terminal does with that line anyway. - The "edit this page" pencil floated in the hero, pointing at index.md. It is a documentation control; the landing page hides it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018xYa7m3qup5wyN5MaXFgf6
…lem cards Three edits to the page and one to the stylesheet. "What the 22 rules cover" is gone. Six cards grouping rules by CC number is what /rules/ is for; on a landing page it asks a reader to study the catalog before they have decided they want the thing. Nothing links into those anchors -- no page on the site links into an index.md anchor at all -- and the two guides it linked stay reachable from the nav. Its one non-duplicated fact, that most rules are off until you turn them on, is already in the FAQ with the same link. No page states a rule count any more. "22" is correct today and wrong the next time a rule lands, and a number in prose does not invite anyone to re-check it -- the comparison table claimed 24 against a package that defined 22 until last week. The rules page is generated from the catalog and is the only honest place to answer "how many". So the guard added in that fix is inverted rather than deleted: instead of checking that a stated count is right, it now fails on any page that states one, with the blog and the changelog exempt as dated records. Verified it fails by adding "22 documented rules" back to a page and watching it go red. The problem section keeps its argument and loses the copywriter voice. Each card now names the tool that stops working rather than the feeling: git-cliff and semantic-release reading the type: prefix, bisect landing on a merge, `git log --author` finding a machine, `git rebase --signoff` across a finished branch. The two claims about other people's software were checked against their own READMEs -- an earlier draft named release-drafter, which categorises by pull request label, not by commit prefix. The stylesheet fix is unrelated to the copy but was found by looking at the result: the card grids were never grids. `.md-typeset ul:not([hidden])` sets `display: flow-root`, and that `:not()` counts as an attribute selector, so a plain `.cc-cards > ul` lost the cascade and every card stacked full width -- including the two pricing cards, which are meant to sit side by side.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
State the required-check condition for the GitHub Action.
The card says that a contributor cannot skip the CI enforcement. Lines 301-304 correctly state that merge blocking requires a required status check. Without that condition, the card can mislead teams that install the Action without configuring branch protection.
Proposed wording
- Enforcement in CI that a contributor cannot skip, with per-rule outputs
- later steps can gate on.
+ Enforcement in CI when configured as a required check, with per-rule
+ outputs later steps can gate on.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

The "GitHub Action" card on the home page said the Action is *"enforcement in CI that a contributor cannot skip"*. Two other places on the same page are careful about exactly this: - the pricing note — *"the only way Commit Check blocks a merge is if you make it a required check yourself"* - the FAQ — *"Make the Action or the App a required status check and a violating change cannot merge"* So the card was the odd one out, and it is the one a reader meets first. An Action that is not a required status check runs, reports, and the pull request merges anyway. The new wording keeps the contrast the card was drawing with the pre-commit hook card above it — which a contributor genuinely *can* skip with `--no-verify` — and states the condition for blocking a merge: > Runs in CI whether or not the hook ran. Make it a required check and a violation cannot merge, with per-rule outputs later steps can gate on. Found by CodeRabbit on #36, which merged before the fix could be applied there. `pytest tests/` passes (10) and `mkdocs build --strict` is clean. --- 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_018xYa7m3qup5wyN5MaXFgf6 --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_018xYa7m3qup5wyN5MaXFgf6)_ Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Why
The home page was written for someone who had already decided to use Commit Check. Its first three screens were "One config, enforced everywhere", "Start with two commands", "Why it exists" (four paragraphs of prose), "What it checks", "What it is not" — a definition and its boundaries. Someone who has never heard of the project needs to know what it takes off their hands, and they decide that in about thirty seconds.
Please look at the deploy preview rather than the diff — this is a visual change.
What the page says now
One config file. Every place your team commits.beside a real transcript of the tool handing back the corrected line. Chosen over "Bad commits never reach main" (untrue: the hook is bypassable) and over the aggressive framings, because the landing page's first job is separating this from commitlint and GitHub Rulesets, and one config across hook + CI + App + MCP is the thing no competitor does.git bisectlanding on a merge commit, a commit authored byec2-user, a missing sign-off found six months late. The paragraph that ties them together is kept verbatim — it was already the best sentence on the page.Nothing on it is unverifiable
The rule count is
len(ALL_RULES)= 22. The terminal samples are transcripts — I ran them:The ten AI tools are
len(ALL_KNOWN_TOOLS). TheFix: feature/Add-Loginin the job-summary sample is the realfixfield from--format json. No download count, star count, coverage percentage, Scorecard score or install count appears anywhere — none of those are checkable from the repositories.The header is deliberately untouched
I had planned to override
{% block header %}for a slim brand bar. Reading the theme bundle showed that would break navigation. Instant navigation swaps a fixed list of elements between documents:{% block header %}renders outside[data-md-component=container], so a header overridden here would follow the reader onto every docs page, and the docs header would follow them back.landing.cssrestyles the stock header instead. The same function diffs<head>, so the stylesheet is appended on arrival and removed on the way out — which is why it is linked from the template rather than listed inextra_css, and why the twenty-odd documentation pages never load it.Verified in the built output: all six swap targets are present on both the landing page and
/rules/,landing.cssis in the head of one and not the other, and the sidebar still renders on docs pages.Assets
demo.gifis copied in from the CLI repository rather than hotlinked, so the page cannot break when another repository is reorganised. Measuring it changed where it goes: 690 frames, the first empty and the last full, so putting it in the hero would have greeted visitors with an empty terminal. It sits below the fold, lazily loaded, with frame 630 (the ink peak) shown instead underprefers-reduced-motion.The merge-box screenshot is the Marketplace image cropped past its padding — 35% of that file is grey border for the listing's aspect ratio — and scaled to 1200px. The other three Marketplace screenshots are not used: they show report pages, which are Markdown, and the site renders that natively in both colour schemes instead of freezing a light-mode screenshot into a PNG.
Left for a follow-up
docs/overrides/home.htmland roughly 150 lines of home-page rules indocs/stylesheets/extra.cssare now unused. They stay in this PR to keep it reviewable, and come out once this is confirmed in production.Verification
