feat: consumer stylesheet override + warm professional default theme#16
Merged
Conversation
…tion) The package gave consumers no way to inject their own CSS: with injectRoutes: true every layout comes from the package, so a consumer's override.css was dead code (tc184sc4's font overrides never loaded). - integration detects theme.customCss (explicit, resolved against the consumer root) or <root>/src/styles/override.css (convention), and exposes it as virtual:edoxen-custom-css via the existing inline vite plugin (re-imported by absolute path so the consumer's CSS pipeline applies) - BaseLayout imports it after base.css so consumers win the cascade - logs 'Custom stylesheet: <path>' at build time Verified in tc184sc4: DM Sans + font tokens now land in built pages.
Replace the bare ~100-line base stylesheet with a complete "elegant professional warm" theme that stands on its own with no consumer CSS: - warm paper canvas (#faf8f6), warm charcoal ink (stone), deep warm teal accent (#0f766e); dark theme is a warm charcoal (never blue-black) with a bright teal accent — all new defaults live in the theme schema and meet WCAG AA against their paired background - serif display headings from system font stacks only (Iowan/Palatino/ Georgia — no webfont dependency), tightened letter-spacing, accent dash eyebrow on section h2, overline dt labels, tabular numerals - pill nav links with hover wash, muted multi-column footer, soft- tinted pill badges, cards with warm hairline + soft shadow + hover lift, booktabs-style tables (sticky header, row hover), dotted decade timeline, facet chips, styled search island (moved from the decisions page into base.css so [lang] routes get it too) - MeetingTimes/MinutesSection/StatementList/DeclarationList/ ScheduleTable rewritten from dead Tailwind utility classes (no Tailwind pipeline is wired) to scoped .edoxen-* token-driven styles - visible :focus-visible rings, prefers-reduced-motion, skip link, ink-safe print stylesheet (tokens re-pointed so dark-mode visitors still print black-on-white; islands and chrome drop out) - base.css only consumes --edoxen-* via var(--edoxen-x, fallback) and never re-declares consumer-settable tokens, so generateCssTokens and the consumer override stylesheet always win the cascade tokens.ts needed no change (it holds no values; schema.ts owns the defaults). Class hooks (.edoxen-header/__brand/__nav, .edoxen-main, .edoxen-footer, .edoxen-decision-list*, search-filter, badges, tables, urn-copy, theme-toggle, print styles) are unchanged.
- README Theming section rewritten: default-look description, cascade explanation (config tokens → base.css fallbacks → override.css), grouped token reference (colors, dark palette, typography, shape, customProperties hooks), override.css convention + theme.customCss, dark mode, and a per-example demonstration matrix - examples/standalone is now the full theming showcase: explicit light+dark palette (warm sienna), radius, logo placeholders (public/logo.svg), nav, social, bodies with brand colors, feature flags, and a commented src/styles/override.css demonstrating the new consumer override mechanism (webfont import + token overrides + one custom rule) - examples/minimal intentionally untouched: it demonstrates the new default theme with zero overrides

Summary
Two related styling deliverables.
1. Consumer stylesheet override (bug fix)
The package gave consumers no way to inject their own CSS: with
injectRoutes: trueevery layout comes from the package, so a consumer'soverride.csswas dead code (tc184sc4's font overrides never loaded — reported as 'site lost its styling').theme.customCss(explicit path, resolved against the consumer root) or<root>/src/styles/override.css(convention) and exposes it asvirtual:edoxen-custom-css(re-imported by absolute path, so the consumer's own CSS pipeline — Tailwind/PostCSS — applies; external@importURLs like webfonts stay).BaseLayoutimports it afterbase.css, so consumers win the cascade.Custom stylesheet: <path>.2. Warm professional default theme
The default look was ~100 lines of bare globals. Full revamp:
styles/base.cssrewritten (117 → ~600 lines): warm paper/charcoal design, serif display stack (system stacks only — no webfont dependency), accent-dash eyebrows, pill nav/badges/facet chips, soft-shadow hover-lift cards, booktabs tables, skip link,:focus-visiblerings,prefers-reduced-motion, island styles centralized (also fixes the[lang]decisions page that lacked them), ink-safe print stylesheet. Only consumes--edoxen-*with fallbacks — config + override.css always win.#faf8f6, stone text#292524, deep warm teal accent#0f766e(4.9:1 AA on paper), radius 0.5rem; matching dark theme (warm charcoal, teal#2dd4bf).src/styles/override.cssreference (Fraunces webfont + token overrides + custom rule).Verification
