+# Roundtable Rebrand — Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-13
+**Status:** Approved for planning
+
+## 1. Identity
+
+**Name:** Roundtable (dropping the "Fabled" prefix).
+
+**Why the change:** The old name `FabledScryer` framed the app as a single seer peering into one crystal ball. The actual product is a gathering point — hosts, metrics, alerts, plugins, and dashboards from across the homelab converge here. "Roundtable" captures that: a place where the realm's tools and information meet.
+
+**Name conflict check:**
+- *Roundtable Software* — a Progress ABL tooling vendor. Different demographic, no overlap.
+- *Fabled.gg* — a virtual tabletop product. Closest concern, and the reason the "Fabled" prefix is dropped entirely to avoid confusion inside the tabletop/fantasy space.
+
+**Umbrella:** `fabledsword.com` remains the family umbrella domain; `git.fabledsword.com` remains the plugin catalog host. Roundtable becomes one product under that umbrella.
+
+**Tone:** Heraldic / Arthurian register. The roundtable is the gathering place of those who keep watch over the realm.
+
+## 2. Visual System
+
+### Palette — Pewter & Gold
+
+Design tokens (map to CSS custom properties in `base.html` `:root`):
+
+| Token | Value | Role |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--bg-0` | `#131315` | Page background (near-black, no blue cast) |
+| `--bg-1` | `#1d1d20` | Card / panel background |
+| `--bg-2` | `#24242a` | Hover / elevated surface |
+| `--border` | `#30303a` | Default border |
+| `--border-accent` | `#c8a840` | Gold accent border (focus, active) |
+| `--text-0` | `#d4d0c0` | Primary text (warm parchment) |
+| `--text-1` | `#b8b8b0` | Secondary text |
+| `--text-2` | `#8a8a92` | Tertiary / pewter text |
+| `--gold` | `#c8a840` | Brand gold |
+| `--pewter` | `#8a8a92` | Brand pewter |
+
+No purple. No steel blue. Backgrounds are neutral near-black; text is warm parchment; the only chromatic accents are gold and pewter.
+
+### Buttons — full action palette
+
+| Role | Color | Use |
+|---|---|---|
+| Primary | Gold (`#c8a840`) | Main CTA, submit, confirm |
+| Success | Green | Positive state changes, "all clear" |
+| Danger | Crimson | Destructive / warning actions |
+| Secondary | Pewter (`#8a8a92`) | Cancel, neutral |
+
+Exact green/crimson hues finalized in implementation; must sit harmoniously next to gold and against the near-black background.
+
+### Logo — Heraldic Seal (crown & table)
+
+Locked SVG (24×24 viewBox, solid gold fills only):
+
+```html
+<!-- Seal: gold rim -->
+<circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10.5" fill="none" stroke="#c8a840" stroke-width="1.5"/>
+<!-- Faint pewter wash -->
+<circle cx="12" cy="12" r="9.3" fill="#8a8a92" opacity="0.1"/>
+<!-- Crown above, five points -->
+<path d="M7 10 L7 5.8 L9 7.8 L10.5 5 L12 7.2 L13.5 5 L15 7.8 L17 5.8 L17 10 Z" fill="#c8a840"/>
+<!-- Table: filled ellipse tabletop + two legs -->
+<ellipse cx="12" cy="15.5" rx="5.2" ry="1" fill="#c8a840"/>
+<rect x="9.6" y="15.5" width="1" height="3.8" fill="#c8a840"/>
+<rect x="13.4" y="15.5" width="1" height="3.8" fill="#c8a840"/>
+```
+
+Reads as a heraldic seal: gold rim, faint pewter wash, five-point crown, solid-gold elliptical table with two legs. No inner detail to clutter at small sizes. Legible from 22px nav icon to 200px marketing size.
+
+### Typography
+
+**EB Garamond** via Google Fonts. Used for the wordmark, headings, and body. Warm, classical, matches the heraldic register without being costume-y. Replaces Libertinus Serif.
+
+### Background
+
+Candlelit glow — a soft, warm radial wash behind the main content area. Replaces the animated star field. Static (no animation) to stay calm and low-distraction.
+
+### Wordmark
+
+"Roundtable" in EB Garamond, gold (`#c8a840`), paired with the seal mark to the left in the nav header.
+
+## 3. Voice & Copy
+
+**Strategy:** plain, functional UI copy. Themed flavor appears only at the edges — places where a little atmosphere costs nothing and rewards exploration.
+
+**Plain (no flavor):**
+- Host list, alert list, plugin settings, forms, tables, error validation
+- Button labels ("Save", "Delete", "Add host")
+- Column headers, tooltips, help text
+
+**Themed (heraldic flavor):**
+- **Login screen** — brief atmospheric tagline below the wordmark
+- **Empty states** — "No hosts yet. Summon one to the table." style, one line each
+- **404 / 500 pages** — themed error messages with clear recovery actions
+- **Dashboard hero title** — **"Under Watch, Under Care"** (optional, can be disabled)
+
+**Not used:** themed language in validation errors, confirmation dialogs, or anywhere the user is trying to accomplish a task. Flavor must never get in the way of understanding what's happening.
+
+## 4. Rename Mechanics
+
+**Code & packaging**
+- `fabledscryer/` package directory → `roundtable/`
+- All `from fabledscryer...` / `import fabledscryer...` → `roundtable`
+- `pyproject.toml`: project name, CLI entry point (`fabledscryer = "fabledscryer.cli:main"` → `roundtable = "roundtable.cli:main"`), tool sections
+- `__init__.py` package metadata
+
+**Runtime config**
+- Env vars: `FABLEDSCRYER_*` → `ROUNDTABLE_*`
+- Residual `FABLEDNETMON_*` env vars removed
+- Config dir: `~/.config/fabledscryer` → `~/.config/roundtable` (one-shot copy on first boot)
+- Log file names, systemd unit names if any
+
+**Container & deploy**
+- `Dockerfile` labels, workdir
+- `docker-compose.yml` service name, image tag, volume names, `container_name`
+- Published image: `fabledscryer:latest` → `roundtable:latest`
+
+**Database**
+- Alembic `script_location` and any customized version table
+- Table prefixes (if any — confirm via grep during implementation)
+- Rename migration only if prefixed tables exist
+
+**Templates & UI**
+- `base.html` wordmark, `<title>`, meta tags
+- Hardcoded "FabledScryer" strings in templates, flash messages, emails
+- Favicon / app icon assets
+
+**Docs & repo**
+- README, CONTRIBUTING, `docs/`
+- Forgejo repo rename (redirect preserves old URL)
+- Local directory rename (optional)
+
+**Preserved (not renamed)**
+- `fabledsword.com` umbrella domain
+- `git.fabledsword.com` plugin catalog host
+- Plugin repo names
+
+## 5. Sequencing
+
+Staged so `main` stays runnable between PRs.
+
+**PR 1 — Visual reskin (no rename)**
+New palette tokens, locked logo SVG, EB Garamond font swap, candlelit glow background, themed edge copy (login, empty states, 404/500, dashboard hero "Under Watch, Under Care"). Still named FabledScryer internally. Ships independently, low risk.
+
+**PR 2 — Python package rename**
+`fabledscryer/` → `roundtable/`, all imports, `pyproject.toml` name + entry point, `__init__.py` metadata. Docker/config untouched. Package installable as `roundtable` locally.
+
+**PR 3 — Config & env vars**
+`FABLEDSCRYER_*` → `ROUNDTABLE_*` with a short-lived fallback reader (accept both, warn on old) so self-hosters don't break mid-upgrade. Config dir migration on first boot. Drop `FABLEDNETMON_*` residue.
+
+**PR 4 — Container & deploy**
+`Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml` service/image/volume/container names. Published image tag switch. Template wordmark + `<title>` + meta (the last user-visible string flip).
+
+**PR 5 — Repo & docs**
+README, docs, CONTRIBUTING. Forgejo repo rename. Local directory rename (optional).
+
+**PR 6 — Cleanup (after one release cycle)**
+Remove env var fallback shim from PR 3. Remove config dir migration code.
+
+**Rationale:** reskin first is safe and visible; package rename is the mechanical core; config/container flips are the breaking-change moments gated behind the fallback shim; docs last so they reflect final state.
