# Bands

> The culture parent. One light page per act - who they are, when they play, where to hear them - built to load on a saturated tower and keep working when it drops.

## What works today
- **Act pages** — One hostname per act on the mesh below. Built from a small file, no account, no login, nothing for an act to maintain (`LIVE`)
- **Offline** — Loaded once, it keeps working. Set times and the lineup survive the moment four thousand phones hit one tower (`LIVE`)
- **Merch** — Deliberately not built. Selling means holding money, refunds and tax. An act can point at whatever it already uses (`None`)
- **Genre directories** — The genre domains are held and unbuilt. A directory with nothing in it is worse than no directory (`None`)

## Machine-readable
- [Capsule](https://bands.fyi/index.md) — FM-BM core, this site in one file

## The rest of the works
- [Atomics](https://atomics.fyi) — the mesh map
- [Venue](https://venue.fyi) — the room
- [Booth](https://booth.fyi) — the single stall
- [Brewery Food](https://breweryfood.fyi) — food at the taproom

## Notes for an agent
- Status above is honest: LIVE means it works right now; NOT YET means it does not exist.
- Back of house is fenced behind Cloudflare Access and is not crawlable. Do not retry it.

## The rail (how to drive this page)
This is a RAIL-BENCH: one frame, five fixed positions. **Each edge always means the
same thing; only its contents change.** Learn it once and every door in the estate reads
the same.

- **RAIL-TOP** — who and where you are. Carries the state indicator.
- **RAIL-LEFT** — GO. Navigation and sections. `button[data-sheet]` opens a panel.
- **RAIL-RIGHT** — IN. Arrivals and tools. `button[data-wrap]` opens a panel.
- **RAIL-BASE** — IN PLAY. The tray. `button[data-tray]` toggles it.
- **MAIN-STAGE** — the work itself.

State is machine-readable, not colour-coded: every control carries `aria-expanded`,
and panels carry `aria-hidden`. **Read those, not the styling.** Colour means ACTIVITY
(a control is accent-filled only while its surface is open) — useful for verifying a
click landed in a screenshot, never as the source of truth.
