| SigilsPlayerView.swift | 505 | Sound sigils player — hero card with character strip, 10 sigils with N'Ko names, deterministic waveform visualization, AVFoundation tone synthesizer (plays sine wave at character's frequency for character's duration), play/stop button, frequency/duration badges, legend section |
Design System (Theme.swift)
Colors (18 named):
- Brand: `primary`, `primaryDark`, `primaryLight`
- Scripts: `nkoAccent` (gold), `arabicAccent` (teal), `latinAccent` (blue), `ipaAccent` (orchid)
- Features: `blessingAccent`, `calendarAccent`, `sigilAccent`, `greetingAccent`, `clanAccent`, `conceptAccent`
- Surfaces: `cardBackground`, `elevatedSurface`, `separator`
Typography (12 tokens):
- N'Ko: `nkoTitle` (26pt), `nkoBody` (20pt), `nkoCaption` (16pt)
- Serif: `serifBody` (17pt serif), `serifItalic` (15pt serif)
- Display: `heroTitle` (56pt), `scriptDisplay` (24pt), `scriptBody` (22pt)
- Utility: `scriptLabel`, `inputFont`, `ipaFont`, `badgeFont`, `microCaption`, `statNumber`
Shared Components:
- `MetaTag` — colored capsule badge for categories/languages
- `CopyButton` — tap-to-copy with checkmark animation + haptic
- `NKoHaptics` — haptic feedback (light/medium/soft/success/selection)
- `.nkoCard()` / `.nkoFeaturedCard(accent:)` — view modifiers
Data Integration
All views consume `NKoCulture.shared` singleton:
- 62 proverbs — searchable, filterable by category (wisdom, cooperation, patience, etc.) and language (Bambara, Mandinka, Manding), expandable with N'Ko/Latin/Arabic/literal/meaning/context
- 29 blessings — filterable by 6 categories (blessing/condolence/congratulation/apology/farewell/response) and 11 life events, one-tap copy
- 23 greetings — protocol-aware (7 phases), time-of-day aware, with expected responses
- 9 clans — filterable by noble/griot lineage, with praise names, totems, appropriate greetings
- 7 calendar events — fixed-date and lunar, with associated greetings and proverbs
- 12 cultural concepts — grouped by type (concept/title/kinship), with usage notes
UX Features
- RTL Support: All N'Ko text rendered RTL with `.environment(\.layoutDirection, .rightToLeft)` and right-aligned
- Daily Proverb: Deterministic by day-of-year (same proverb all day), widget-ready card, refresh button for random
- One-Tap Copy: Every blessing, greeting, clan greeting, and proverb has a copy button
- Haptic Feedback: Selection haptics on filter changes, success haptic on copy
- Spring Animations: Card entrance animations, expand/collapse transitions
- Search: Full-text search across all scripts (N'Ko, Latin, Arabic, English)
- Audio Synthesis: AVFoundation-based sine tone generator for sound sigils (real audio playback)
Xcode Project
- `NKoBridge.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj` updated with all 15 Swift files
- `NKoCulture` package dependency added alongside `NKoTransliteration`
- Target: iOS 17.0, Swift 5.9
Build Status
- ✅ `NKoCulture` module builds clean (`swift build --target NKoCulture`)
- ✅ All NKoTheme symbols resolve (18 colors, 12 typography tokens, 4 spacing constants)
- ✅ All NKoCulture types referenced match module exports (6 enums, 6 structs)
- ✅ All shared components defined (MetaTag, CopyButton, NKoHaptics, nkoCard, nkoFeaturedCard)
- ✅ Xcode project references all 15 source files
