package/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release:
 - Strict config + integration v1 schema (integrations, issuesUrl, hooks.postCodemod) and new @astryxdesign/cli/integration export.
 - File-based codemod API (createCodemod/createConfigCodemod) with the @astryxdesign/cli/codemod export and integration codemod discovery in upgrade.
 - component, template, and upgrade now print a one-line non-blocking warning when a configured integration has validation issues, pointing to validate-integration.
-- Add a Kanban Board page template: color-coded status columns, draggable task cards with priority tags, and board toolbar.
+- Add a Kanban Board page template: color-coded status columns, draggable task cards with priority tags, and board toolbar. Based on a design by @cg-hub18.
 - Add frame-first layout guidance: new `astryx docs layout` topic (shell choice, region budgets, app archetypes, cards-vs-rows policy, responsive contracts), layout rules in the generated agent cheat sheet, and layout anti-patterns in `docs principles`.
 - Add a v0.1.3 config codemod that migrates astryx.config layout.components to experimental.xle.components.
 - Add v0.1.0 codemods for migrating `declare module "@xds/core/..."` type augmentations and `.xds-*` / `[data-xds-theme]` / `@layer xds-theme` CSS surfaces to their `@astryxdesign`/`astryx-*` equivalents.

+ * @file Regression test for the `color-scheme` declaration `astryx theme build`
+ * emits alongside `light-dark()` token output (see #3658).
+ *
+ * `astryx theme build` injects a `color-scheme` declaration into
+ * `@layer astryx-theme` whenever the generated CSS contains `light-dark()`,
+ * so LightningCSS/browsers can resolve it. That declaration must mirror
+ * reset.css's own `html[data-theme]` -> `color-scheme` mapping (a bare
+ * `:root { color-scheme: light dark; }` alone permanently pins the page to
+ * "light dark", defeating `<Theme mode="light|dark">` forcing regardless of
+ * `@layer astryx-theme` being declared after `@layer reset` in layer order):
+ *
+ *   :root { color-scheme: light dark; }
+ *   html[data-theme="light"] { color-scheme: light; }
+ *   html[data-theme="dark"] { color-scheme: dark; }
+ *
+ * Themes that never use `light-dark()` have no `color-scheme` ambiguity to
+ * resolve, so none of the three rules should be emitted for them.
+ *
+ * Building `astryx theme build` requires a compiled @astryxdesign/core (there is no in-CLI
+ * fallback generator), so this suite builds core once in beforeAll via the
+ * shared ensureCoreBuilt() helper — which serializes concurrent Vitest workers
+ * behind a lock — to stay self-sufficient regardless of CI job ordering.
