/synclair/pages is the map of the app’s front end: every route it serves, what
each screen looks like, how they link together, and — crucially — which library items
each one is built from. If the System Map is “what’s under the hood,” the sitemap is
“what a user actually walks through.”
What it is
A live inventory of the whole view layer:The route tree
Every view/route the app serves, organized so you can see the whole surface at once.
Live previews
A real, device-framed preview of each screen — not a screenshot, the running view.
Navigation edges
How screens connect — the paths a user takes between them.
Composition
Which components, blocks, and templates each screen is built from — the link from
view back to library.
What’s in it
The map lives indata/pages-map.json (schema: lib/system/pages-map.ts) and renders
at /synclair/pages. The composition data is what makes it more than a list: it ties
each screen to the library items it uses, so you can trace a component to every view it
appears in — and spot views built from unregistered, one-off UI.
How it works
The sitemap is generated by thepages-map skill via the page-mapper digger, which
reads the app’s router (this repo’s, or the host app’s) and returns the route tree
plus each route’s composition and a live-preview URL. It’s kept honest by
check:pages, which flags when the map has drifted from the actual routes.
In companion mode, a live/boot banner lets the hub light up host route previews when the
host’s dev server is running — and offers to boot it when it isn’t (
npm run host:status
/ npm run host:up).How to act on it

Use the composition data to spot screens built from one-off UI that should be
registered components — the same finding the build report ranks.
