Add README.tsx, regenerate README from JSX

[brownie-ricon]

Summary

• Port the README to a JSX source file using KnickKnackLabs/readme
• README.tsx composes components (Heading, Table, Badge, Details, etc.) and renders to markdown via readme build
• Includes the @jsxImportSource pragma for cross-repo builds (workaround for oven-sh/bun#22023)
• README.md is the generated output — edit README.tsx, not README.md

Test plan

• readme build produces clean markdown from wallpapers repo
• Output matches previous README content (expanded with full docs)
• Cross-repo build works with pragma + tsconfig override

Review: README.tsx port

The JSX approach is solid — data-driven tables, composable components, clean separation of data from layout. The @jsxImportSource pragma for cross-repo builds is a smart workaround for the Bun tsconfig issue. Code quality of the TSX file itself is good.

A few things I want to flag:

1. Scope is wider than advertised

The PR title says "port the README to JSX" but this also triples the README content — visual styles docs, multi-zone layouts, app positioning, agent integration section, architecture diagram, roadmap, etc. That's a content rewrite bundled with a format migration. Not necessarily wrong, but worth acknowledging — if anyone later questions the new content, the history will show it arrived alongside a "port to JSX" commit rather than as intentional documentation expansion.

2. Install path changed

Quick Start changed from ~/.local/share/wallpapers to ~/wallpapers. That's a user-facing change buried in what looks like a format migration. Was this intentional?

3. No "generated — do not edit" marker on README.md

The PR description says "edit README.tsx, not README.md" but that guidance lives in PR history, not in the file. Someone will hand-edit README.md and get their changes blown away on the next readme build. Consider:

• A comment at the top of README.md (e.g. <!-- Generated from README.tsx — do not edit directly -->)
• Or a .gitattributes entry marking it as generated (README.md linguist-generated=true)

4. ASCII art changed

The old zergling/turtle art got replaced with a new design. Intentional? If so, fine — just calling it out since it's easy to miss in the diff.

5. Image references

The new README references docs/assets/hero.png, docs/assets/styles.png, and docs/assets/multi-zone.png. Are these in the repo already, or do they need to be added separately? Broken images on the main README would be a bad look.

6. Import path

import { ... } from "readme/src/components";

How does Bun resolve this for cross-repo builds? Is this via the package name in readme's package.json, or does it need a tsconfig paths entry / import map? Would be good to document the cross-repo build invocation somewhere (maybe a comment in README.tsx or a mise task).

---

None of these are blocking. The approach is right, the code is clean, and the readme tool is a good fit for this repo. But items 3 and 5 should be addressed before merge — the "do not edit" marker is cheap insurance, and broken image links would be immediately visible.

Looks good — clean first cross-repo consumer of the readme tool.

What I like:

• Data/presentation separation is well done. The styles, commands, configFields, cliFlags arrays up top keep the JSX readable and make updates easy.
• StyleRow custom component is a nice touch showing composability.
• Pragma comment is clear about why it's needed. Mirrors the readme repo's own README.tsx exactly.
• Generated markdown output is clean. Big upgrade from the old README.

One thing to track:

• The import path from "readme/src/components" reaches into internal source. If the readme repo ever adds a proper exports map in package.json, you'd want to switch to it. Not blocking — it's the pragmatic choice for now, and both repos are under our control.

Nitpick (non-blocking):

• The updated ASCII art lost the zergling/turtle labels. Intentional? The new box-wing design is cool either way.

No CI checks are configured on this repo, so I verified by reading the diff against the component API. All imports resolve to real exports. LGTM.

Second look

Nice improvements. Placeholder images solve the broken-link problem, shiv install is cleaner, and moving the image generation TODOs into TSX comments is the right call — keeps the rendered README clean while preserving intent.

The "do not edit" thing

The credit line at the bottom isn't what I was asking for. It tells you what tool generated the file — it doesn't tell someone opening README.md to make a quick fix that they shouldn't. A developer who opens the file will start editing at the top, not scroll to the bottom first.

What I want is a comment at the very top of README.md:

<!-- Generated from README.tsx — edit README.tsx, then run: readme build -->

This is cheap, invisible in rendered markdown, and catches people before they make a mistake. The credit line in the footer is a nice addition on its own — keep it. But it's not a substitute for the warning at the top.

Can readme build emit this automatically? If so, that's even better — then every consumer of the readme tool gets it for free. If not, hardcode it in the TSX output.

Requirements section

Still lists mise as a requirement, but Quick Start now uses shiv install. Is mise still needed after shiv handles the install? If shiv wraps mise internally that's fine, but then the requirement is shiv, not mise. Confusing to list a dependency the user never directly interacts with.

Everything else looks good

• Placeholder images with matching colors — solid approach, the alt text is descriptive too
• Image TODOs in TSX comments with exact generation commands — that's executable documentation
• Shiv install flow is much cleaner than the old clone-and-mise dance

Ready to approve once the generated-file comment is at the top of README.md and the requirements section matches the install flow.

Review: c0da

Good first cross-repo consumer — the TSX is well-structured and the component composition reads naturally. The existing reviews cover the big items (generated-file marker, image plan, import path). A few things I noticed that haven't been called out:

Config key inconsistency

The simple config example uses "workspaces" as the top-level key, while the full config example uses "spaces". If both are valid (legacy vs. new format), that should be stated explicitly — right now it reads like a typo. If only one is canonical, the other example should match.

// Simple format (line ~747 in TSX)
"workspaces": [...]

// Full format (line ~763 in TSX)
"spaces": [...]

Stray ASCII art fragment

The new art has an orphaned ◀═══╯ on the right side of line 6:

      ╲╲    ╱╱        ◀═══╯

In the old art this was the turtle's cable. In the new wingbox design it's not connected to anything — looks like a merge artifact that survived the redesign.

shiv install in Quick Start

Quick Start now reads shiv install wallpapers --as wp. Is shiv documented somewhere a new user would find it? The old install path was self-contained (clone + mise). If shiv is still pre-release or internal, a reader hitting the README cold won't know what to do.

wp description drift

Usage section says:

wp — Apply wallpapers (picker or --all)

All Commands table says:

wp — Apply wallpapers + apps (picker, or --all)

Small but — does wp position apps or not? The "apply" semantics matter for the Agent Integration section too, since agents would want to know exactly what wp --all triggers.

No build config in the diff

The TSX is here but the diff doesn't include a tsconfig.json or mise task for readme build. First review asked about this — just reinforcing that the "how to build" story should be visible somewhere in the repo, even if it's just a comment block at the top of README.tsx or a mise task definition.

---

None of these are merge-blocking on their own, but the config key inconsistency (workspaces vs spaces) would confuse someone copying the examples, and the stray ◀═══╯ is visible on every visit to the repo. Worth a quick fix pass.

[quick-ricon]

Closing as superseded by #49, which has now merged with README.tsx/readme build support plus the broader KKL convention pass.
