## What This Plugin Adds

Theme Curated is an **Available**, **No schema impact** Capell theme in the **Capell Themes** product group. It ships as `capell-app/theme-curated` and extends these surfaces: frontend.

Theme Curated adds feed, masonry, source metadata, and lightbox presentation for selected visual work. It does not replace Capell's page or content storage.

When selected, the theme turns existing Capell content into a visual curation feed with source details and focused viewing.

- Theme key: `curated`

## Why It Matters

**For developers:** The package registers a typed theme definition and keeps each presentation section in a package-owned Blade view.

**For teams:** Editorial teams can publish a coherent visual selection while retaining the normal Capell content workflow.

## Technical Shape

- Service providers: `Capell\ThemeCurated\CuratedThemeServiceProvider`.
- Actions: `InstallCuratedThemeDemoAction`.
- Command signatures: `capell:theme-curated-demo`.
- Console command classes: `DemoCommand`.
- Manifest contributions: `admin-page: Capell\ThemeCurated\Manifest\ThemeManagementPageContribution`.
- Health checks: `Capell\ThemeCurated\Health\ThemeCuratedHealthCheck`.
- Blade views: `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/page.blade.php`, `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/sections/app-website-icons.blade.php`, `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/sections/best-of-views--carousel.blade.php`, `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/sections/best-of-views.blade.php`, `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/sections/category-tabs.blade.php`, `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/sections/content-listing.blade.php`, `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/sections/cta--lightbox-preview.blade.php`, `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/sections/cta.blade.php`, `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/sections/curation-feed-grid--compact.blade.php`, `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/sections/curation-feed-grid.blade.php`, `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/sections/curation-feed.blade.php`, `packages/theme-curated/resources/views/sections/feed-hero.blade.php`, `and 10 more`.
- Cache tags: `theme-curated`.

## Data Model

This theme has no schema impact. It relies on core Capell site, page, locale, and theme records instead of declaring package-owned tables.

## Install Impact

- Required packages: `capell-app/core`, `capell-app/theme-foundation`, `capell-app/frontend`.
- Admin navigation: declares `admin-page: ThemeManagementPageContribution`; each Filament page or resource controls its own navigation visibility.
- Admin/editor extensions: none declared.
- Permissions: none declared in `capell.json`.
- Public routes: none declared.
- Database changes: no package migrations declared.
- Config: no package config files.
- Settings: no package settings declared.
- Queues or schedules: none declared.
- Cache tags: `theme-curated`.
- Commands: `capell:theme-curated-demo`.

## Common Pitfalls

- Keep required Capell packages on compatible v4 releases: `capell-app/core`, `capell-app/theme-foundation`, `capell-app/frontend`.
- Keep public Blade and cached HTML free of authoring markers, model IDs, permissions, signed editor URLs, and lazy database queries.
- Custom write integrations must preserve invalidation for `theme-curated` cache tags.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Likely cause | Check | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Package surface is missing after install | Provider or manifest is not loaded | Confirm `capell.json`, package `composer.json`, and provider registration | Reinstall the package, refresh Composer autoload, and clear host caches |
| Public output leaks unexpected state | Render data, cache variation, or authoring boundary has regressed | Check public Blade, cache tags, and public-output safety tests | Move data loading out of Blade and rerun the package public-output tests |

## Quick Start

1. Install the package: `composer require capell-app/theme-curated`.
2. No package-specific setup command or migrations are declared.
3. Open the Curated Homepage and confirm the public output renders without admin state.
