# Venue

> The spatial parent. Venue is the permanent address for a physical room and everything happening inside it - the map, the stalls, the food, the acts. Events come and go on the mesh below it; the room stays here.

## What works today
- **The parent page** — This surface. Public, indexed, permanent. Where a room describes itself and keeps whatever it earns (`LIVE`)
- **Event mesh** — One hostname per event under this parent. Built from a small file, live in minutes, retired when the event ends (`LIVE`)
- **The list** — The one asset most small venues have never had. Catch the crowd while they are standing in the room, hand the room a list that grows every year, and the room owns it (`SOON`)
- **Seating and wayfinding** — Table and stall level addressing. The data exists in the mesh layer already; the map does not (`SOON`)
- **Ticketing** — Not built, not next, and not needed to be useful (`None`)

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

## The rest of the works
- [Atomics](https://atomics.fyi) — the mesh map
- [Brewery Food](https://breweryfood.fyi) — food for rooms with no kitchen
- [Booth](https://booth.fyi) — the single stall
- [Bands](https://bands.fyi) — who is playing

## 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.
