## What This Plugin Adds

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

Theme Minimalist adds restrained gallery presentation with browse panels, style categories, showcase grids, sponsor space, and randomized highlights. Capell retains the underlying content records.

When selected, visitors see an image-led browsing experience with quiet typography and clear category routes.

- Status: Available
- Tier: premium
- Bundle: themes
- Composer package: `capell-app/theme-minimalist`
- Namespace: `Capell\ThemeMinimalist`
- Theme key: `minimalist`

## Why It Matters

**For developers:** The package registers its section set through a Foundation-derived theme definition and keeps public rendering behind tested Blade views.

**For teams:** Creative teams can present visual collections with minimal interface weight while keeping their normal Capell editing process.

- Command signatures: `capell:theme-minimalist-demo`.
- Console command classes: `DemoCommand`.
- Manifest contributions: `admin-page: Capell\ThemeMinimalist\Manifest\ThemeManagementPageContribution`.

- Cache tags: `theme-minimalist`.

## 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-minimalist`.
- Commands: `capell:theme-minimalist-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-minimalist` 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-minimalist`.
2. No package-specific setup command or migrations are declared.
3. Open the Minimalist Homepage and confirm the public output renders without admin state.
