The project shipped a black-and-white theme that was only half converted: the login page looked right, the message page was halfway, and the settings page had not been started. This finishes the move to the CYBER reference in prototype_reference/. Colors now come from a single token source (styles/variables.scss), where every semantic color is declared twice: once as OKLCH for the CSS, and once as an RGB triple so translucent variants can be built as rgba(var(--*-rgb), alpha). Cyan is the system itself, amber means the user has to intervene, green means the machine is working, and red only ever means something broke. The RGB triples are derived from the OKLCH values so the two declarations cannot drift apart. Pages adopt the .cy-* shell classes from the reference (view, panel, kpis, tabs, grid, table, field) instead of ad-hoc markup, which is what makes 19 of 26 views consistent. The remaining seven are deliberately bespoke: chat streams, the kanban board, the workflow canvas, the terminal, and the missing-agent screen. The chart palette and the kanban column colors move into single-source modules so they cannot drift either. A new guard test rejects raw hex colors, named colors, and literal RGB triples anywhere in the client source, with an explicit exemption list for the places that genuinely cannot read a CSS variable. The existing chat semantics spec keeps the chat chain honest. No behavior changes: no logic, no i18n keys, no data structures, and the /chat-run event contract is untouched.

||
feature: Chat surface shadow tokenization and CYBER color guard
|
||
impact: The fork divider pill in the chat message list now paints its shadow from the shared --shadow-sm token instead of a hardcoded light-theme slate wash, so it reads as a lifted surface on the dark background. A new source-level guard now blocks raw hex colors, named colors, and literal RGB triples from reappearing anywhere in the client source. Purely visual; no message shapes, socket events, or emission timing changed.

# Chat surface shadow tokenization
|
||
|
||
## What changed
|
||
|
||
| File | Surface | Before | After |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||
| `MessageList.vue` | fork divider pill | `box-shadow: 0 8px 24px rgba(15, 23, 42, 0.05)` | `box-shadow: var(--shadow-sm)` |
|
||
|
||
`rgba(15, 23, 42, 0.05)` is a slate-900 wash at 5% alpha — a light-theme habit
|
||
for a hairline lift on white. On `--bg-card` it is effectively invisible, so
|
||
the pill lost its "lifted" read entirely. `--shadow-sm` is the dark-theme
|
||
equivalent (`0 2px 8px oklch(0 0 0 / 0.28)`).
|
||
|
||
The same lint also flagged a stale shadow in `PetdexView.vue`
|
||
(`rgba(127, 127, 127, 0.08)` checkerboard → `rgba(var(--text-muted-rgb), 0.08)`)
|
||
and the kanban category colors, which were promoted to the new
|
||
`--kanban-review` / `--kanban-review-rgb` tokens. Those two files are not on
|
||
the chat chain, but they are recorded here because the guard that found them
|
||
was introduced as part of this same change.
|
||
|
||
## New guard
|
||
|
||
`tests/client/style-tokens.test.ts` scans every `.vue` / `.scss` / `.css` /
|
||
`.ts` file under `packages/client/src` and fails on:
|
||
|
||
1. raw hex colors (`#rrggbb`)
|
||
2. named color keywords (`color: red`)
|
||
3. literal `rgba(0,0,0,` shadows
|
||
4. literal RGB triples in `rgba()` (`rgba(15, 23, 42, 0.05)`) — these must
|
||
become `rgba(var(--*-rgb), α)`
|
||
|
||
Comments and HTML entities are stripped before matching, and the stripping step
|
||
has its own self-check so a broken guard cannot silently pass.
|
||
|
||
The exemption list is explicit: chart palette (`ui-baseline.md` §7), the xterm
|
||
theme presets, the Arco `ConfigProvider` theme, the `arkscore` vendor
|
||
decoration layer, and the language badges in `MessageItem.vue`. The language
|
||
badge palette is additionally pinned by an assertion, so the exemption cannot
|
||
widen unnoticed.
|
||
|
||
## Not changed
|
||
|
||
Message rendering, streaming, tool-call grouping, and the `/chat-run` event
|
||
contract. The chat chain fragment exists because the touched file sits on the
|
||
chat chain path, not because any behavior moved.
|
||
|
||
## Verification
|
||
|
||
`npm run harness:check`, `npm run build`, and `npm run test:e2e` (46 passed)
|
||
all pass. The existing `tests/e2e/chat-cyber-semantics.spec.ts` still passes
|
||
unchanged.
