nx_kit_journal.nx

nx_kit_journal.nx -- the JOURNAL design family: an editorial/publication grammar for blog, magazine, newsletter and press briefs. Third first-class family after the marketing default and Counsel. ★WHY THIS EXISTS RATHER THAN REUSING nx_kit2's ke_* editorial kit (measured 2026-07-25, not assumed): that kit is a genuinely good newspaper grammar but is NOT composable by the site generator -- (1) it carries ZERO design tokens (every colour is a hardcoded hex) so a generated palette cannot retheme it; (2) it has no prefers-reduced-motion; (3) its masthead nav is HARDCODED to /factory/ and nishifamily.com, so a generated site cannot carry its OWN cross-page nav -- which would fail the nav-complete and link-resolution teeth. Retrofitting it would mutate a shared file the published /factory pages depend on (another lane's artifacts). So: additive family here, floor met by construction, zero sibling risk. The finding itself is the reusable lesson. The grammar: small-caps masthead wordmark over a DOUBLE RULE · kicker + large serif headline + italic deck · drop-capped two-column justified lead · ruled article list w/ small-caps meta · dark subscribe band. All colour flows through --kj-* derived from the generated palette, so every brief gets its own ink; both themes; reduced-motion respected. Pure emit. license_tier: ORIGINAL
