0.5.0 is the first element quality release, covering every A, B and C element. Components rebuild cleanly when moved or re-populated, keyboard and screen-reader access is fixed across the C components, and several XSS paths are closed. Themes gain a --btn-border-width hook,…
Vocabulary used across Vanilla Breeze documentation. Type to filter; use the # beside a term to jump to it and copy a link to its definition.
A name–value pair on an HTML element that configures behaviour or carries metadata. VB uses three orthogonal provenance attributes: data-provenance, data-review, and data-status.

The normalized text representation of a page used as the input for hashing and signing. Defined by admin/specs/canonical-document-v1.md (Stage 3, in progress).
Broader: provenance · Related: signing
A grouped collection of <ins>/<del> edits with view toggles for tracking, final, and original states. Implemented by the <change-set> component.
Broader: provenance
The time lens: versioned release history, most recent first.
Also known as: release notes · Broader: content lens
A view over the site's metadata substrate that groups pages by one field family — time (changelog), keyword (index), term (glossary), structure (sitemap), authorship (forthcoming), or provenance (forthcoming). Each lens shares the same data; only the projection differs.
Also known as: lens · Related: meta-tag contract
An HTML element with a hyphenated tag name registered via customElements.define(). VB ships custom elements as web components (with shadow DOM/styles) and as plain custom elements (CSS-only sugar over native semantics).

The DOM attribute that declares how a page or section was made. Vocabulary core: human, ai-assisted, ai-generated. Extensions: translated, synthesized, migrated. Tokens compose space-separated.
Broader: provenance · Related: data-trust, attribute
The DOM attribute that records what review a page received. Values: unreviewed (default), fact-checked, editor-reviewed.
Also known as: review · Broader: provenance · Related: attribute
The DOM attribute that records publication state. Values: draft, published (default), archived.
Broader: provenance · Related: attribute
Runtime verification tier emitted by <page-info> on its badge. Values: undeclared, declared, domain-anchored, verified, failed, key-unavailable. Distinct from data-provenance — author-declared vs. runtime-computed.
Broader: provenance · Related: data-provenance, trust tier, page-info
A named value (color, spacing, font size) stored as a CSS custom property. Tokens form the vocabulary of a design system; VB ships its own and lets sites override with their own.
Broader: HTML-first
The term lens: an alphabetical listing of vocabulary concepts with definitions, generated from vocabulary.json.
Broader: content lens
The framework stance: semantic HTML carries meaning, CSS carries presentation, JavaScript only adds behaviours that genuinely require it. Components must remain readable without JS.

The keyword lens: a book-style alphabetical index of every concept, attribute, component, and topic in the documentation, with one or more page references per entry.
Also known as: index, site index · Broader: content lens
The published, versioned specification for which <meta>, <link>, DOM attributes, and JSON-LD fields VB consumes at runtime. Source of truth: admin/specs/meta-tag-contract-v1.md.
Broader: provenance · Related: page-info, content lens
The shared field family — identity, temporal, topic, provenance, integrity, engagement, license — that every lens consumes. Adding a new field once exposes it to every lens at once.
Also known as: substrate · Broader: content lens
The disclosure-panel web component that surfaces author, dates, version, provenance, review, status, license, and verification state. In auto mode, reads from the page's meta-tag contract; in static mode, enhances hand-authored markup.
Broader: provenance · Related: meta-tag contract, data-trust, trust tier
The practice of building features as additive layers: a baseline (HTML) that works without enhancement, then CSS, then JS — each layer optional. VB applies this both at the file level (every component has a static fallback) and at the system level (Layer 0 static → Layer 1 SSG → Layer 2 CMS for provenance).
Also known as: PE · Broader: HTML-first · Related: web component, custom element
The traceable origin of a piece of content — who made it, how, with what tools, reviewed by whom, signed by which key. VB ships a contract (Stage 0–1 done) and a verification path (Stages 3–4 in progress).
The cryptographic step that binds a canonical document to an author key. VB defines a verifier and a canonicalization spec; signing tools are reference implementations (Stage 4).
Broader: provenance · Related: canonical document
The structural lens: every page on the site organised by section. Distinct from /sitemap.xml, which is the machine-readable version for search engines.
Also known as: site map · Broader: content lens
The verification result computed by <page-info>: declared, domain-anchored, verified, failed, or key-unavailable. Surfaced via data-trust on the badge.
Broader: provenance · Related: data-trust, page-info
A custom element that ships with shadow DOM, styles, and behaviour. VB web components must work as static HTML (the baseline) and progressively enhance when JS loads.
