mergeViews
mergeViews(
file):MergedPlate
Defined in: merge.ts:32
Turn the per-view captures in a plate file into the one plate a Skeleton renders.
Each view is kept whole — its own subtree, its own ids, its own rules —
and shown only across the viewport range it owns, via @media display:none
gates. We do NOT merge the views’ trees into one. An earlier design (ADR
0004) did, sharing common structure and forking the rest, but aligning two
genuinely-different DOM trees (mobile stacked vs desktop two-column) without
stable keys proved unreliable: every heuristic mis-paired some nodes and
remapped one view’s rules onto another’s elements, corrupting both. A lone
capture is pixel-faithful; keeping each view lone preserves that. The cost
is a larger plate (roughly the sum of the views) — bounded by the plate
size cap — in exchange for correctness.
Pure data-in/data-out — runs in node (plugin load) and in tests.
