CMS-authored layout
Block JSON stays portable across WordPress, static builds, and React runtime installs.
Bethsaida compatibility
Legacy pages can become governed, static-ready React surfaces.
Headers, article sections, ValuesOS blocks, calls to action, testimonials, and footer chrome now converge on the shared runtime.
Bethsaida-era page content should not need a pixel-identical Gatsby rebuild to remain useful. Ensemble preserves the practical page semantics, validates modern contracts, and renders compatibility paths for known legacy shapes.
Composable page sections
ValuesOS source blocks and Ensemble-native blocks can sit together in one page contract.
QA
Contract-governed capture
Every public block declares the data shape that editors and adapters must provide.
SP
Themeable texture
Design pattern variants and theme JSON change the feel without changing content.
Single legacy feature
feature_block can render as a themed card even when the source payload is a single feature.

Three legacy proof points
01
Schema-backed
Legacy feature sections now have concrete contracts.
02
Theme-aware
Theme component overrides flow through the shared appearance boundary.
03
Runtime-shared
The same wrapper renders in Next, static output, and WordPress runtime.
Offset feature list
A
Adapter-friendly
The wrapper tolerates old item naming without requiring CMS payload churn.
B
Evidence-rich
Theme Lab and roadmap tests can prove status instead of relying on docs.
Legacy flex row
A row layout alias should keep nested blocks portable while using the shared surface wrapper.
Row containers preserve side-by-side narrative blocks for legacy marketing sections.
Row default
flex_row now resolves to a row layout unless content explicitly overrides it.
ROW
Row default
flex_row now resolves to a row layout unless content explicitly overrides it.
Legacy flex column
Column wrappers remain stacked by default for mobile-safe migrations.
Column containers are treated as semantic surfaces with nested legacy content.
How it works
01
Keep structure
The wrapper preserves nested page intent.
02
Apply theme
Surface-level component overrides still flow through.
Legacy grid
Grid aliases should receive a grid layout without CMS payload changes.
Grid item one keeps the same nested block shape.
Proof
The grid wrapper can host proof content as a nested child.
WordPress, static build, and React package runtime.
Ensemble, ValuesOS, Bethsaida legacy, and shadcn primitives.
Legacy contracts receive support classifications.
How it works
Migration steps
01
Classify
Known Bethsaida blocks receive explicit runtime and roadmap status.
02
Promote
High-value aliases move from compatibility to dedicated semantic wrappers.
How it works
Parity timeline
01
Contracts become concrete.
02
Theme Lab proves each wrapper.
03
Static and WordPress parity stay visible.
Proof
We can keep our CMS workflow and still ship a modern app-like surface.
The page contract gives engineering a shared language with content and design.
Proof
Legacy testimonial
The old payload shape still renders as a first-class proof section.
Proof
We can graduate practical compatibility without rewriting every page by hand.
Proof
Theme evidence is now attached to the block family, not hidden in a one-off route.
Prepare a pilot page
Use this route to prove that Bethsaida-style marketing content can render from the shared runtime without custom Next-only components.
Legacy chrome and listing wrappers
Runtime-only compatibility wrappers now have concrete contracts and Theme Lab evidence.
