What This Plugin Adds

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

Theme Foundation provides the shared public layouts, runtime design tokens, layout defaults, and override contracts used by Capell themes. It renders host-owned page data and does not introduce a separate content model.

Sites can use Foundation directly or extend it with a child theme, while public pages share predictable layout and token rendering without frontend authoring state.

Status details:

Status: Available
Tier: free
Bundle: themes
Composer package: capell-app/theme-foundation
Namespace: Capell\FoundationTheme
Theme key: default

Why It Matters

For developers: The package centralizes theme registration, token resolution, layout defaults, and public-output safety contracts for the theme fleet.

For teams: Teams get a consistent baseline for site chrome, layout behavior, and design settings across Capell themes.

Child Theme Override Contract

Foundation Theme owns the stable child theme override surface for Capell themes. Child themes should declare extends: 'default' and override documented sections, views, tokens, and chrome areas instead of replacing the whole public rendering path.

Stable contract points:

Theme Studio sections: navigation, hero, features, proof, content-listing, search, pagination, form, contact-split, cta, footer.
Shared views: capell::theme.page, capell::layout.area, capell::media.svg.
Runtime tokens: --foundation-page-bg, --foundation-section-spacing, --foundation-widget-gap.
Layout Builder chrome areas: header.
Public-output rule: child themes must not expose authoring metadata, editor controls, model IDs, field paths, permissions, or signed editor URLs.

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/admin, capell-app/core, capell-app/frontend, capell-app/layout-builder, capell-app/navigation.
Admin navigation: no admin page or resource contribution is declared.
Admin/editor extensions: none declared.
Permissions: no package permission declarations or Shield gates detected; host access rules still apply.
Public routes: none declared.
Database changes: no package migrations declared.
Config: config/capell-theme-foundation.php.
Settings: Capell\FoundationTheme\Settings\FoundationThemeSettings.
Queues or schedules: none declared.
Cache tags: theme-foundation.
Commands: capell:frontend-tailwind-assets, capell:make-foundation-theme, capell:theme-catalogue-report, capell:theme-foundation-demo, capell:theme-foundation-setup, capell:validate-themes.

Common Pitfalls

Keep required Capell packages on compatible v4 releases: capell-app/admin, capell-app/core, capell-app/frontend, capell-app/layout-builder, capell-app/navigation.
Review package configuration before production-like verification: config/capell-theme-foundation.php, Capell\FoundationTheme\Settings\FoundationThemeSettings.
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-foundation 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

Install the package: composer require capell-app/theme-foundation.
Run the package setup: php artisan capell:theme-foundation-setup.
See it working: run php artisan capell:theme-foundation-demo.
Open /theme-default-directory and confirm the public output renders without admin state.
