Quotations carry a role marker, and Lumina styles the role

SPEC-185 D3: each quotation role carries data-quote on its outermost element, the core blockquote node marks a plain quotation, and Lumina styles roles rather than the bare element.

Acceptance Criteria

  • The core blockquote node marks a quotation data-quote="quotation"; runes that reinterpret > carry no marker (D3.2–D3.3)
  • Lumina's global blockquote rule becomes its [data-quote="quotation"] rule, with a zero-specificity fallback for an unmarked blockquote (D3.5)
  • A quotation in the ui register is set quieter than one in prose (D3.6)
  • Lumina's per-rune undoing of the quotation style (recipe tips, comparison callouts and the like) is removed where the marker makes it unnecessary
  • The theme-authoring docs list the four roles and the marker as part of the theme contract, and state that a composition places the rune that is what it reinterprets (D3.4)

What was done

  • packages/runes/src/nodes.ts: a blockquote node emitting data-quote="quotation"; withoutQuoteRole and QUOTE_ATTR, exported. Registered in nodes.
  • withoutQuoteRole applied in plugins/learning/src/tags/recipe.ts (tips), plugins/marketing/src/tags/testimonial.ts (quote) and packages/runes/src/tags/pullquote.ts.
  • packages/transform/src/vocabulary.ts: QUOTE_ROLES; packages/runes/src/vocabulary.ts adds the quote dimension.
  • Lumina:
    • styles/elements/blockquote.css: [data-quote="quotation"], the ui register rule, and the :where(blockquote:not([data-quote])) fallback;
    • styles/runes/testimonial.css: the glyph reset removed;
    • the skeleton testimonial comment updated.
  • Tests: packages/runes/test/quotation-role.test.ts; the lumina vocabulary coverage known gaps; the composed-lore snapshot.
  • Docs: theme-authoring dimensions.md, "Quotation roles".

Visual review

  • 16 pages with blockquotes compared before and after, light and dark.
  • Intended changes: recipe tips lose a stray glyph over their text, and the pull quote shows its own declared glyph. Everything else is unchanged.

Notes

  • The other per-rune blockquote rules (api, symbol, spec, work, bug, decision, milestone, lore, howto) style a plain > in their bodies, which is still a quotation, so they stay. Only the testimonial reset became unnecessary.
