Display Hints for Types

Implement the `display` block from ADR-0009 so types can declare UI rendering preferences without code.

Scope

  • Parse `display` section from kb.yaml type definitions and plugin metadata
  • Store display hints in TypeSchema
  • Frontend reads display hints from schema API response
  • Implement: `default_sort`, `card_fields`, `icon`, `preferred_view`
  • Later: `color`, `group_by` (depends on more UI infrastructure)

    • Display Vocabulary

    | Hint | Values | Used by | |------|--------|---------| | `default_sort` | `date_desc`, `date_asc`, `title_asc`, `updated_desc`, `created_desc` | Entry list | | `card_fields` | list of field names | Search results, sidebar cards | | `icon` | icon name string | Type badges, sidebar | | `preferred_view` | `editor`, `form`, `split`, `table` | Entry page default |

    Hints are non-binding — UI uses sensible defaults when hints are absent.

    Blocked by

  • #5 Schema-as-Config (TypeSchema needs rich fields first)
  • Type Metadata and AI Instructions (display is part of type metadata)
