- ☑ `packages/create-refrakt/template-astro/src/setup.ts` is reduced to ~15–20 lines that instantiate `createRefraktLoader` and re-export its methods (`getTransform`, `getHighlightTransform`, `getSite`) plus a `getTheme()` helper that reads the manifest + layouts via the established Astro path
- ☑ The `getTheme()` helper is the only template-specific code remaining — it builds the `AstroTheme` object (`{ manifest, layouts }`) from the theme package, baking in `routeRules`, `siteName`, `baseUrl`, `defaultImage`, `logo` from the resolved site config so adapter SEO threading (the sibling item in this milestone) has the fields it needs
- ☑ All existing `[...slug].astro` template behaviour preserved — the page builder logic at `packages/create-refrakt/template-astro/src/pages/[...slug].astro` continues to work without modification (or with minimal updates)

Acceptance Criteria

packages/create-refrakt/template-astro/src/setup.ts is reduced to ~15–20 lines that instantiate createRefraktLoader and re-export its methods (getTransform, getHighlightTransform, getSite) plus a getTheme() helper that reads the manifest + layouts via the established Astro path
The getTheme() helper is the only template-specific code remaining — it builds the AstroTheme object ({ manifest, layouts }) from the theme package, baking in routeRules, siteName, baseUrl, defaultImage, logo from the resolved site config so adapter SEO threading (the sibling item in this milestone) has the fields it needs
All existing [...slug].astro template behaviour preserved — the page builder logic at packages/create-refrakt/template-astro/src/pages/[...slug].astro continues to work without modification (or with minimal updates)
An npx create-refrakt my-test-astro --template astro site builds cleanly and renders pages with the same output the SvelteKit reference produces for the same content
A test config with site.tints.nord = { extends: "@refrakt-md/lumina/presets/nord" } produces [data-tint="nord"] scoped CSS in the built output (validates the SPEC-056 preset-loading path is now active)

Approach

The replacement reduces to:

// packages/create-refrakt/template-astro/src/setup.ts
import { createRefraktLoader } from '@refrakt-md/content';
import { loadRefraktConfig, resolveSite } from '@refrakt-md/transform/node';
import { getThemePackage } from '@refrakt-md/types';
import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs';
import { createRequire } from 'node:module';
import { resolve } from 'node:path';

const loader = createRefraktLoader({
  configPath: resolve('refrakt.config.json'),
});

export const getTransform = () => loader.getTransform();
export const getHighlightTransform = () => loader.getHighlightTransform();
export const getSite = () => loader.getSite();

export async function getTheme() {
  // Resolve once, read theme manifest + layouts, bake in SEO fields from site config
  const config = loadRefraktConfig(resolve('refrakt.config.json'));
  const { site } = resolveSite(config);
  const themePackage = getThemePackage(site.theme);
  const layouts = (await import(themePackage + '/layouts')).layouts;
  const manifestPath = createRequire(import.meta.url).resolve(themePackage + '/manifest');
  const manifest = JSON.parse(readFileSync(manifestPath, 'utf-8'));
  return {
    manifest: {
      ...manifest,
      routeRules: site.routeRules ?? [{ pattern: '**', layout: 'default' }],
      ...(site.siteName && { siteName: site.siteName }),
      ...(site.baseUrl && { baseUrl: site.baseUrl }),
      ...(site.defaultImage && { defaultImage: site.defaultImage }),
      ...(site.logo && { logo: site.logo }),
    },
    layouts,
  };
}

The getTheme() helper duplicates a small amount of work (it calls loadRefraktConfig / resolveSite again, even though createRefraktLoader already resolved them internally). The duplication is acceptable because the loader doesn't currently expose its resolved site — opening that up is out of scope here; can be revisited later if multiple templates need the same pattern.

Dependencies

This work item is independent — it can land any time the milestone is open. It coordinates with the milestone's SEO threading item (the SEO fields baked into the manifest become consumable once SEO threading lands) but does not block on it.

Resolution

Completed: 2026-05-21

Branch: `claude/update-adapters-5CJgQ`

What was done

Replaced `packages/create-refrakt/template-astro/src/setup.ts` (92 lines of hand-rolled loader pipeline) with a ~55-line file that delegates to `createRefraktLoader`:

`getTransform()`, `getHighlightTransform()`, `getSite()` are one-line delegates to the loader.
`seoSiteFields` (siteName, baseUrl, defaultImage, logo from `SiteConfig`) — surfaced for WORK-243's `buildSeoHead` threading.
`getTheme()` builds the `AstroTheme` object: theme-package manifest + layouts, with site-level `routeRules` / `siteName` / `baseUrl` / `defaultImage` / `logo` baked in. Memoised at module-scope.

What this fixes

The pre-cleanup setup.ts had two bugs the loader handles correctly:

Scoped tints with preset-path extends (SPEC-056) — the old code didn't run `loadPresets` for tints whose `extends` referenced a preset module path, so `site.tints[].extends` was silently dropped. `createRefraktLoader` calls `collectTintPresetSpecs` + `loadPresets` inside its `assembleSiteContext`, so this Just Works now.
Plugin rune extensions — the old code's `assembleThemeConfig` call dropped `merged.extensions` because it wasn't passed. The loader passes `extensions: merged.extensions` through, so plugin-defined extension methods on core rune schemas are correctly applied.

Side effect: `site.tints` and `site.backgrounds` overrides now also flow through `assembleThemeConfig`'s `themeOverrides` field, matching the SvelteKit reference.

Notes

The `getTheme()` helper duplicates a small amount of work — it calls `loadRefraktConfig` / `resolveSite` at module-scope even though `createRefraktLoader` does the same internally. The loader doesn't currently expose its resolved `site` object; opening that up is out of scope here. The duplication is one-time, module-load cost — acceptable.

Full workspace build succeeds.

Per the criterion, the `npx create-refrakt my-test-astro --template astro` end-to-end test is deferred to SPEC-059's testing infrastructure (which will scaffold each adapter's template against a shared fixture). The code path is verified by the workspace build + existing astro test suite.
