What it does

cards

Every full-screen card KESSREL LINE puts in front of the player, as trees.

local Cards = require("ui.screens.cards")
local m = Cards.metrics()
ui.registerScreen("kl.card", Cards.title(m, { focus = Focus.id(), plate = plate }), 1200)

Builder	Card
`Cards.title(m, view)`	The wordmark over the painted battle, and the three slabs
`Cards.howto(m, view)`	The control table for one device family, with a tab per family
`Cards.pause(m, view)`	The pause card, with the wave and the Gate
`Cards.ending(m, view)`	Victory or defeat, with the tally and Oyelaran's last line
`Cards.credits(m, view)`	The credits
`Cards.stage(m, view)`	The cinematic overlay: letterbox, SKIP, the beat banner
`Cards.subtitle(m, view)`	The subtitle strip

Every builder is PURE: it takes the metrics and a view model and returns a widget tree. Nothing here registers a screen, reads the bus, or writes game state — ui.screens.Screens does all of that and hands the result in. That is what lets one card be rebuilt every frame from the live focus, and what lets a capture of a card be reproduced from a table.

metrics()

Cards.metrics() reads ui.screenSize() and derives every size in the file from it: the content column, the slab stack's own narrower width, the display size, the body size, the gutter. Nothing in this module carries a number chosen for one viewport shape, so the same card composes on a phone held either way, a laptop and a television. col never grows past 620 points, so a television shows a poster rather than a stretched banner.

The look

Bone-white and amber on dark smoked glass: display in Anton, body in Arimo, numerals in JetBrains Mono, from game.shared FONTS and PALETTE. The slab language is the one design/refs/screen-title.png fixes — a dark glass bar with a hairline edge and a bracket tick at each end, the focused one filled amber with a glow. Rows carry a staggered entrance so a card cascades in.
