🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Make the Step 1 command work from a clean shell.
The tutorial says that BASE_URL is in .env, but curl does not load .env automatically. Unless the reader exports BASE_URL separately, the shell expands this command to /router/translate-path?path=/, and the request fails before it reaches Drupal. Use the documented quickstart URL directly or add an explicit step that sets BASE_URL.
Proposed fix
- curl "$BASE_URL/router/translate-path?path=/"
+ BASE_URL="${BASE_URL:-http://127.0.0.1:8888}"
+ curl "$BASE_URL/router/translate-path?path=/"📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Good catch, and it is fixed in bf39c267 on this branch.
You are right that curl never loads .env, so from a clean shell the command expanded to curl "/router/translate-path?path=/" and died with curl: (3) URL rejected: No host part in the URL — on the first command of a step whose whole job is to prove the backend answers.
The suggestion itself is best dismissed rather than applied, for one reason: the port is not reliably 8888. The Getting started tutorial tells the reader that setup takes the next free port and prints it, so a hardcoded fallback would contradict the previous lesson. It also turns a missing BASE_URL into a request against a probably-wrong port, where the loud failure is the more useful outcome — it tells the reader their .env is broken.
So the fix derives the value instead:
BASE_URL=$(grep '^BASE_URL=' .env | cut -d= -f2-)
curl "$BASE_URL/router/translate-path?path=/"Verified from a clean shell (env -u BASE_URL) against a real quickstart: it resolves the backend URL and returns the frontpage / page_1 payload the step goes on to quote.

@Decipher, thanks for the fix and the verification.
Reading BASE_URL from .env preserves the quickstart's dynamic port. It also makes the command work when BASE_URL is not exported in the shell. The hardcoded 8888 fallback should not be applied.

Learning: In the Druxt quickstart documentation, `BASE_URL` is written to `.env` and can use the next available port. Documentation commands that call the backend must read `BASE_URL` explicitly from `.env` or require it to be exported; they must not use a hardcoded `8888` fallback.

Closes the theming gap in the tutorials quadrant. The docs had a theming
how-to and a component-resolution explanation, but no lesson that walks
someone through writing a wrapper.
The lesson
tutorials/theme-your-front-page.mdthemes the front page of a freshquickstart: the
frontpageview'spage_1display, and theteaserrows inside it. Six steps, two files.
/throughrouter/translate-pathso the reader names theview before theming it.
components/druxt/view/frontpage/Page1.vuetakes over the listing.components/druxt/entity/node/article/Teaser.vuetakes over each row.as
[object Object]attributes.druxt.query.fieldson the wrapper controls what the componentfetches, and an empty field slot is the symptom of leaving one out.
most specific existing name wins.
Verified, not written from the source
Every step was run against a quickstart backend and frontend, with two
promoted articles and an image on one:
translate-pathreturnsview_id: frontpage,display_id: page_1; the view's row isentity:nodeinteasermodeDruxtViewFrontpagePage1renders,resultsandpagerslots populatedDruxtEntityNodeArticleTeaserrenders per row,field_imageandbodyslots populated<article fields="[object Object]" schema="[object Object]" value="[object Object]" class="teaser">; afterDruxtEntityMixin:<article class="teaser">fields: ['title']empties the image and body slots; restoring the list brings them backDruxtEntityNodeTeaserandDruxtViewFrontpageboth match; a more specific file added later takes overThe environment was restored afterwards: test content deleted, wrapper
files removed.
Two findings worth keeping: a new wrapper file is picked up on the next
page load, but a renamed one needs a dev-server restart, so the
tutorial says so. And the teaser image resolves only because Druxt proxies
the files directory by default, which the tutorial flags with a pointer to
the proxy guide.
Ordering
Theming now sits second, right after Getting started, since it is the
first thing most people want after seeing an unstyled site. Weights shift
accordingly (authentication -7, deploy -6, custom module -5) and Getting
started's "next lesson" link moves to it.
That takes the tutorial count to five. A tracked course structure was
considered and rejected earlier on the grounds that a handful of focused
lessons suited the scale, to be revisited if the count outgrew a single
sitting. Five with a re-wired chain is arguably that point, so the index
may want to show the sequence as a path with a position rather than as a
list. Flagged, not acted on here.
