Env Marker <mv-env-marker>
Indicateur d’environnement qui rend impossible de confondre un environnement hors production avec la production. Une minuscule balise d’état, un point cerclé qui émet une onde douce, pulse sans arrêt dans tout environnement qui n’est pas réel (local, preview, staging, sandbox, QA, ou production avec un mode actif comme le mode test ou l’usurpation d’identité) ; en production, son anneau se referme et le point se pose, plein et immobile, discret et neutre, réduit à un glyphe dont le nom glisse au survol. L’environnement vient de l’attribut env ou de règles ordonnées sur le nom d’hôte (globs comme .vercel.app, staging., localhost:6006 ou /regex/, avec des valeurs par défaut sensées et un repli), chacune avec son libellé et sa teinte (surchargeable par environnement avec --mv-env-marker-tint). Un clic ou Entrée ouvre un popover compact non modal : environnement, mode, hôte, build, commit, base d’API, source de données, depuis quand (date en-US et temps relatif), règle qui l’a détecté, un bouton Copier les détails pour les rapports de bug et des emplacements pour vos propres actions (Ouvrir la production, Arrêter l’usurpation). L’ouvrir en production rejoue le signal une fois : un seul ping, puis de nouveau l’immobilité. Cadre optionnel en bordure de page avec un onglet libellé (viewport ou n’importe quel conteneur) et préfixe dans le titre du document ([staging] Commandes…), maintenu malgré les changements de titre du routeur, tous deux uniquement hors production. Par défaut, le point ne se pose qu’une fois par session d’onglet : la production ne vous sollicite jamais.

When to use
- Staff switch between staging, preview deploys and production in the same admin tool and must never act on the wrong one
- Support agents impersonate customers or turn on test mode and the app must keep showing that this is not their own live session
- Preview and review deployments on generated hostnames should announce themselves without any build-time configuration
- Bug reports from testers should carry the exact environment, build and commit with one click
Avoid when
- The message is an incident, maintenance or outage notice that every production user must read → use Alert instead
- A static status label inside content (order paid, plan active) with no environment logic → use Badge instead
- End users of production should never see any indicator at all: render nothing in production instead of a resting marker

Inception, Christopher Nolan (2010, film). Chaque rêveur porte un totem, un petit objet personnel dont le comportement lui indique s’il rêve ou s’il est éveillé : la toupie tourne sans fin dans un rêve et finit par tomber dans la réalité. Dans l’interface, une petite balise d’état pulse sans arrêt dans tout environnement qui n’est pas réel (staging, preview, mode test, usurpation d’identité) et ne se fige en un point plein et immobile qu’en production : un coup d’œil suffit pour savoir dans quel monde tombera votre prochain clic.
API
Attributes
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
env | string | The environment, as your build knows it ("staging", "preview", "local", "production", or any name). Wins over hostname rules. Known names get a label and a tone: production / prod / live (neutral), staging / uat (warning), preview / demo (accent), development / dev / local (info), sandbox / test / qa (success); other names are capitalized with the accent tone. | |
rules | string | Ordered hostname rules used when env is absent: "localhost|127.*=local, *.vercel.app=preview, staging.*=staging". Separate rules with commas (or ; / new lines when a pattern contains a comma), alternatives with |, and the env with =, -> or →. * matches anything (dots included); a pattern with a port (localhost:6006) is matched against host:port; /…/flags is a regular expression. Replaces the defaults (localhost and private IPs → local; .vercel.app, .netlify.app, .pages.dev, preview. → preview; staging.*, stage.*, -staging. → staging; dev.* → development; sandbox.*, qa.*, uat.*, test.*). | |
hostname | string | location.host | Host to resolve instead of the current one ("staging.acme.io", "localhost:5173" or a full URL). For previews, tests and demos. |
fallback | string | production | Environment used when no rule matches the host. |
production | comma-separated list | production, prod, live | Environment names that count as real: only those settle into the still, solid dot. |
mode | string | A state layered on the environment that makes it not real even in production: "Test mode", "Viewing as Aiko Tanaka", "Read-only replica". Shown as the chip label, with the danger tone by default; the beacon keeps pulsing. | |
label | string | Visible name of the environment (default from env: "Staging", "Preview"…). | |
tone | neutral | accent | info | success | warning | danger | CSS color | Tint override. Per environment in CSS: mv-env-marker[data-env="qa"] { --mv-env-marker-tint: … }. | |
description | string | Sentence under the popover title (defaults explain whether changes reach real customers). | |
build / commit / api / source | string | Detail rows of the popover: build or release, commit hash, API base URL, data source ("Nightly snapshot, anonymized"). Rows without a value are omitted. | |
since | ISO date-time | epoch ms | Since when this environment runs (deploy time, impersonation start). Shown as an en-US date with a relative time ("19 hours ago"), recomputed each time the popover opens. | |
locale | BCP 47 | en-US | Locale of the date and relative time. |
dock | bottom-start | bottom-end | top-start | top-end | Fixes the marker in a corner of the viewport (or of the nearest ancestor that contains fixed elements), with a raised shadow. Without it the marker is inline (a header, a toolbar). | |
placement | top | bottom (-start | -end) | bottom-end, or away from the docked edge | Preferred side of the popover (flips and shifts to stay in the viewport). |
frame | "" | "viewport" | CSS selector | Outside production, draws a tinted border with a small labeled tab around the viewport (empty value, top layer) or around the matched element (closest ancestor first, made position: relative if it was static, restored afterwards). Never shown in production. | |
title-prefix | "" | template | "[{env}] " | Outside production, prefixes document.title ("[staging] Orders · Kestrel") and puts the prefix back when a router rewrites the title. Template placeholders: {env}, {label}, {mode}. Removed in production and when the element goes away. One instance owns the title at a time. |
compact | auto | always | never | auto | Glyph-only chip whose name slides out on hover and keyboard focus. auto = compact in production only. |
settle | session | always | never | session | When the settle animation is played on load in production: once per tab session (then the dot is already still), on every load, or never. A live switch to production always plays it; reduced motion never does. |
open | boolean | Opens the popover (reflected). | |
data-env / data-tone / data-real / data-mode / data-glyph / data-compact | set by the component | Styling hooks: normalized env, tone, real (production without mode), mode present, glyph state (pulse | settle | check | rest), compact. |
Properties
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
resolved | { env, label, tone, real, production, mode, name, source, rule, host } | Current resolution (read-only). source: "attribute" | "rule" | "fallback"; rule: the pattern that matched; production: the env is a production name (true even with a mode on); name: accessible name ("Staging environment"). |
real | boolean | True in production with no mode on (read-only). |
rules | string | Array<[pattern, env]> | Array<{ match, env }> | Record<pattern, env> | Hostname rules as data; patterns may be strings (globs, |), RegExp or functions (host, hostWithPort) => boolean. A string is reflected to the attribute. |
strings | Partial<Record<string, string>> | Overrides for every visible text and announcement (name, nameMode, realText, unrealText, modeText, rowEnv, rowMode, rowHost, rowBuild, rowCommit, rowApi, rowSource, rowSince, rowFrom, fromAttribute, fromRule, fromFallback, copy, copied, copyFailed, announce, announceMode, announceCopied, titlePrefix). English defaults. |
env / hostname / mode / build / commit / api / source / since / frame / titlePrefix / … | reflected | Mirror the attributes; any change re-resolves live. |
Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
toggle(force?) | Opens or closes the popover. |
check() | Replays the production signal: the still dot sends one ping and settles again (nothing under reduced motion or outside production). |
MvEnvMarker.resolve(hostname, { rules?, fallback? }) | Static: resolves a hostname with the same rules, without an element (tests, server rendering). Returns { env, source, rule, host }. |
Events
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
mv-resolve | The environment was resolved (on connection and on every change). detail: the resolved object. |
mv-toggle | The popover opens (cancelable: preventDefault() keeps it closed) or closes. detail: { open }. |
mv-copy | Copy details was pressed (cancelable: preventDefault() and send detail.text to your own bug reporter instead of the clipboard). detail: { text }. |
Content structure
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
actions | Children with slot="actions" (a link to production, Stop impersonating…) go in the popover footer, next to Copy details. |
details | Children with slot="details" go under the detail rows (a note, a link to the release notes). Children added later are adopted too. |
CSS classes
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
mv-env-marker-chip | The trigger <button>: .mv-env-marker-glyph + .mv-env-marker-label (.mv-env-marker-label-text). |
mv-env-marker-glyph | The status beacon (aria-hidden): -wave (the outgoing pulse), -ring (outline, shown outside production), -dot (the core). --_g sets its size. |
mv-env-marker-panel | The popover (Popover API top layer): -head, -emblem, -title, -text, -details (.mv-env-marker-row, dt/dd, dd[data-mono]), -slot, -foot, -actions, -copy. |
mv-env-marker-frame | The page-edge frame (aria-hidden, pointer-events: none) and its -frame-tab. data-scope="viewport | element". |
CSS variables
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--mv-env-marker-tint | tone color | Environment tint (chip, glyph, frame, popover stripe). |
--mv-env-marker-pulse | 1.8s | Duration of one outgoing wave of the beacon outside production. |
--mv-env-marker-frame-width | 3px | Frame thickness. |
--mv-env-marker-frame-ink | near-black | Text color of the frame tab on the tint. |
--mv-env-marker-inset | 12px | Distance from the corner when docked. |
Accessibility
The chip is a real <button> (aria-haspopup="dialog", aria-expanded, aria-controls) whose accessible name always spells out the environment (“Staging environment”, “Viewing as Aiko Tanaka, Production environment”) and starts with the visible text, so voice control works; the glyph is aria-hidden, the color is never the only signal (the visible name and the shape, a ringed dot or a solid dot, say it too). Enter or Space opens a labelled, described non-modal dialog placed right after the chip in the DOM, focus moves to it, Tab reaches Copy details and the slotted actions, Escape closes it and returns focus to the chip, an outside click or focus leaving the component closes it without moving focus. The details are a real description list. A live change of environment or mode after load is announced once in a polite live region (“Now in Production environment.”), and Copy details announces its result. The title prefix also reaches screen reader users, who hear “[staging]” in the tab name. Compact chips keep the full accessible name and reveal the visible name on hover and keyboard focus. Reduced motion (OS setting or data-motion="reduce"): nothing pulses or settles; outside production the glyph is a tinted dot inside a ring, in production a solid dot with no ring, so the two states stay unmistakable without motion. Forced colors: the glyph uses Highlight (not real) or CanvasText (real), the frame Highlight, the chip ButtonText. The frame is aria-hidden with pointer-events: none and never intercepts clicks.
