 ## Notes
 
-This package has no JavaScript behavior; no version provides compatibility aliases for a removed class or token. `0.2.0` removes `.btn.loading` (compose a disabled `.btn` with a `.loader` child instead) and `.alert.icon`'s built-in glyph (drop a consumer-supplied icon into `.alert-icon` instead), and `.tooltip` now requires a `.tooltip-bubble` child element rather than a `data-tooltip` attribute. See the [changelog](./docs/changelog/index.md) for the complete history.

It also renames two material tokens: an aesthetic sets its corner as `--ui-corner` and `--ui-corner-surface` rather than `--ui-radius` and `--ui-radius-surface`, which now take a complete radius as written, and `--ui-button-weight` and `--ui-button-tracking` are `--ui-label-weight` and `--ui-label-tracking`.

-`@codenhub/styles` is a CSS-only design system: tokens, a reset, typography and layout utilities, and composable classes for buttons, forms, feedback, surfaces, and tooltips. Every component separates three independent choices — which color, how much of it, and what it's made of — so changing one never requires a component-specific variant. Four optional aesthetics (`.neobrutalism`, `.glass`, `.pixel`, `.chunky-tile`) restyle that same component set without touching markup.

 Avoid importing overlapping entrypoints in the same build unless duplicate generated CSS is acceptable; pick the narrowest entrypoint that covers what a page needs.
 
+## Cascade layers
+
+Every entrypoint maps its CSS into Tailwind's four cascade layers (with documented unlayered exceptions), in Tailwind's order, and declares that order before using a layer, so the result does not depend on which file loads first:
+
+| Layer        | Holds                                                                                          |
+| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `theme`      | Tailwind's theme, the foundation tokens, the theme selectors, and `/palette`.                  |
+| `base`       | The reset and the classless element styles.                                                    |
+| `components` | The intent, presentation, elevation, and aesthetic classes.                                    |
+| `utilities`  | Every component (`.btn`, `.card`, `.ipt`, ...), next to your own Tailwind utilities.           |
+| _unlayered_  | The `forced-colors` and reduced-motion overrides, the `<dialog>` fix, and the `-solo` classes. |
+
+What that means in practice:
+
+- **Your utility or unlayered CSS beats an intent, presentation, elevation, or aesthetic class** on the same element for normal declarations. `[--ui-fill:50%]` on a `.solid` button, `font-serif` on a `.pixel` region, or `.my-card { --ui-radius: 0 }` in your own stylesheet all apply.
+- **A component and your utility share the `utilities` layer.** Which wins is decided by specificity and then source order, as between any two utilities. Your unlayered normal CSS always beats a component.
+- **State beats your intent.** An `aria-invalid` field stays destructive even with an intent utility on it.
+- **The `-solo` classes are unlayered on purpose**, so they beat a foreign component's own styles; tune them through their knobs rather than with utilities.
+
 ## Requirements
 
 - Consumer tooling must resolve package CSS imports.
+- Every shipped stylesheet can be pasted into an HTML `<style>` element, for critical-CSS inlining or a server-rendered head: none contains the `</style` sequence that would end the element early.
 - Chrome 123, Safari 17.5, or Firefox 121 and newer. Color tokens are declared with `light-dark()` and selected by `color-scheme` (Firefox 120), and `.input-group` propagates a nested control's invalid and disabled state with `:has()` (Firefox 121).
 - Tailwind CSS 4 or newer is required only for `/tw` source entrypoints.
 - The package has no JavaScript runtime. Apps must provide semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard behavior, focus management, validation, and announcements; see [Accessibility](docs/accessibility.md).

-Both names in a row are equivalent, interchangeable classes — `.elevation-sm` and `.raised` are aliases, not a canonical form and a deprecated one, the way `.destructive` and `.danger` are on the intent axis. The `none`/`sm`/`md` naming matches the raw `--elevation-*` tokens in [Theming](docs/usage/theming.md#foundation-tokens) for the same weight of depth, even though the two are read from different places.
+These are a different thing from the raw `--elevation-*` shadow tokens in [Theming](docs/usage/theming.md#foundation-tokens), which are fixed shadows for elements you style yourself.
 
 Each is one unitless multiplier over whatever shadow geometry is in scope, so the same class reads as a soft blur on a plain page and as a hard offset slab under `.neobrutalism` — the aesthetic decides what depth looks like, the class decides how much of it this element takes.

 ```
 
 The multiplier does not inherit: an elevation class lifts or flattens the element it is written on only, and an unclassed element inside it takes no depth of its own. Give each element that needs depth its own elevation class. Spread is deliberately left out of the multiplication, because an aesthetic that draws its edge as an inset ring spends spread on it and scaling that would erase the edge.

+### Corner size and pattern
+
+The corner scales with the element. `.p-xs` sets a size step of `0.5`, `.sm` and `.p-sm` `0.75`, and `.lg` and `.p-lg` `1.25`. When a size class and a padding class sit on one element, the smaller step wins, so `.lg.p-xs` is small. `box` multiplies `--ui-corner` by the step, so a small button takes a small corner and a bevel stays a true 45 degrees. Depth follows the step down but not up: a `.p-xs` button sits on half its aesthetic's shadow, and a `.lg` one on the whole of it. A press that travels into that depth, given as `--ui-active-translate-x` and `-y`, travels the same scaled distance, so it always lands flat.
+
+Which corners take the corner is its own choice. `.cut-diagonal` keeps the top-left and bottom-right and squares the other two; `.cut-diagonal-reverse` keeps the other pair. Both set `--ui-corner-tl`, `-tr`, `-br`, and `-bl`, which you can also set yourself: a two-corner leaf on the default look, two cuts on a control under `.cyber`. A surface under `.cyber` keeps the aesthetic's own surface shape, which the pattern does not reach, and an explicit `--ui-radius` or `--ui-radius-surface` ignores the step and the pattern.
+
+### Lines, layers, and labels
+
+`--ui-line-style` reaches every line a component draws: the box's edge, the progress track, and dividers and table rules. `--ui-rule-style` optionally overrides just dividers and table rules, without changing the box edge; sketch uses it for dashed accents. A dashed or dotted line keeps its colour, so it keeps its contrast; `double` needs a width of 3px or more to draw two lines.
+
+`--ui-halo-*` is light rather than depth -- a glow in the element's own intent colour -- so elevation does not scale it and `.flat` leaves it on. It appears only when its ink is set.
+
+`--ui-surface-image` lays any `background-image` over a surface's plate: cards, panels, alerts, and tooltips, not controls. Whoever sets it owns the contrast of the text over it, and your own `background-image` on a surface still wins.
+
+`--ui-label-*` treats the label of a button or a badge: weight, tracking, case, and a text shadow. Write the shadow without a colour -- `0 0 6px` -- so it takes the label's own colour and cannot lower its contrast. Your own `font-*`, `tracking-*`, and case utilities still win.
+
+Under forced colours each of these draws its plain version: a solid line, no halo, no painted layer, and no label shadow.
+
 ### Shape and ring composition
 
 Clipping removes borders, outlines, and outer shadows. An aesthetic that uses a clip can replace the border with an inset shadow by setting `--ui-shadow-inset` and the four shadow geometry parts. Set `--ui-border-max: 0px` when that ring replaces the component border. Focusable components restore the clipped focus outline through `--ui-focus-inset`.
 
+A clip is not the only way to cut a corner. `--ui-corner-shape: bevel` draws the corner the radius sets as a straight cut instead of an arc, and the border, outer shadow, focus outline, and backdrop all follow it -- so a bevelled element keeps its glow and its line, where a clipped one loses both. `.cyber` uses it. Engines without `corner-shape` ignore it and draw the radius round, so an aesthetic that bevels should square its radius under `@supports not (corner-shape: bevel)`. A bevel on a full radius cuts to points: a radio, a `.btn.pill`, and anything reading `--ui-radius-pill` become diamonds or pointed hexagons.
+
+`--ui-radius` accepts any `border-radius` value and is used as written, so it can place the corner per side: `10px 0` cuts only top-left and bottom-right. The pill and chip corners are separate tokens. An unset chip corner computes a small default from `--ui-radius`, then `--ui-corner`, capped at `--radius-small`; an explicit `--ui-radius-tight` is used as written, even for a per-corner or elliptical value. Aesthetic and consumer overrides can therefore give a chip a larger or more irregular shape. `.btn.pill` takes `--ui-radius-pill` ahead of the other radii; under sketch it takes organic hand-drawn pill contours avoiding egg distortion, while an explicit `--ui-radius-pill` on that button still wins.
+
 Declare `--ui-shadow-edge` when that ring _is_ the border. The ring then takes the element's edge color, which carries the edge axis as its alpha, so `.edged` draws it and `.edgeless` does not — the same answer a real border gives. Without it the ring paints on every component the aesthetic reaches and the edge classes have no effect. Use `--ui-shadow-ink` instead when the shadow is depth cast in the intent's own ink, such as a hard offset slab, which an `.edgeless` element still gets.
 
 The token is read for its presence, not its value: declare it empty to switch the ring on, and `initial` to switch it back off in an aesthetic nested inside one that declares it.

 Knobs and material tokens reach in opposite directions, and telling them apart matters. A knob resolves once at the aesthetic's own class and inherits down already-resolved, so it reaches the aesthetic **from above**: setting it on the element or any ancestor works, but setting it on a _descendant_ of the aesthetic class changes nothing — the value has already been read. `--ui-radius` and the other material tokens above are read fresh by each component as it draws, so they reach **at or below** the element carrying them, which is how you round one card differently from its neighbours without touching the knob at all.

+Shipped aesthetics set the shared material tokens above. Every shipped aesthetic sets `--ui-ink` for its neutral line. `.glass` and `.chunky-tile` also set `--ui-control-ink`, so their controls keep a heavier line than their surfaces; the others clear it and their controls take `--ui-ink`. Intent classes still override the intent slots on each component.

 An aesthetic directly on a component likewise wins over an inherited aesthetic. This includes tooltip bubbles: `.tooltip-bubble.glass` gets the complete glass bubble under a pixel ancestor, and `.tooltip-bubble.pixel` gets the complete stepped bubble under a glass ancestor.
 
+Your own CSS wins over an aesthetic.

 - `--font-rounded` is yours to supply. A heavy rounded grotesque is most of this look and the package ships no font binary, so with nothing supplied the page's own stack is used.

+- Labels are drawn heavier and slightly tracked, through `--ui-label-weight` and `--ui-label-tracking`, so your own `font-*` or `tracking-*` utility still wins. It reaches `.btn` and `.badge`, and a bare `<button>` only where `/native` styles it. Casing is left alone: how a label is worded is the application's decision, so if you want uppercase buttons, write that rule in your own stylesheet.
 - `.card.interactive` presses like a `.btn`, so a chunky answer tile drops onto its bar on click; `.card.pressable` gets the same press on its own. A plain `.card` stays put.
 - The shipped `.primary` is a near-black-or-near-white monochrome depending on theme, and the bar mixes toward a fixed black regardless of theme. In light theme this leaves a primary button's bar almost invisible against its own near-black plate (measured `1.04:1`, 10 units of sRGB distance); in dark theme the near-white plate against the same black-anchored bar reads fine (`2.48:1`, 154 units). Give `.primary` a hue of its own if it is the call to action and needs the depth cue in both themes.
 - Depth in this aesthetic is the bar, never a blurred drop shadow. Anything the registry rests flat sits flush on the page.
+- Controls draw a heavier grey than the tiles around them -- `neutral-600` in light, `neutral-400` in dark -- through `--ui-control-ink`, so a field reads as a field inside a tile.
+
+## Cyber
+
+Bevelled corners, a 1px edge, and a glow in the component's own colour: a success button glows green, a destructive card red. The bevel is drawn with `corner-shape`, so the border, the glow, and the focus outline all follow the cut rather than being clipped by it.
+
+Controls and surfaces take the cut on opposite diagonals, so a button and the card around it read as the same material and as different things: buttons and fields cut top-left and bottom-right, cards, panels, and alerts top-right and bottom-left. Anything fully round cuts to points -- a radio, a switch knob, and the tooltip icon become diamonds, a pill button or a badge a pointed hexagon -- and chips square, so the checkbox reads as a plain square beside the diamond radio.
+
+`--cyber-cut` is the cut at the default size, `0.625rem`. Controls scale it with their size step, so a `.p-xs` icon button takes half of it and keeps its corners, and it stays a true 45 degrees. `--cyber-shape` and `--cyber-shape-surface` replace the default placement with any `border-radius` value, used as written. `--cyber-glow` is the glow's blur, `8px`. `--cyber-ink` is the neutral line and glow colour, which follows the theme by default -- near-black on light, near-white on dark -- and is where a neon neutral goes if you want one.
+
+```html
+<section class="cyber" style="--cyber-ink: rgb(0 229 255); --cyber-cut: 0.75rem">
+  <button class="btn">Jack in</button>
+</section>
+```
+
+Other shapes are a value away. Set them on the `.cyber` element or any ancestor. `--ui-radius` set on an element reaches that element and every component inside it that does not set its own. A shape you set is used as written and does not scale, so for a scaled one on a single control use `.cut-diagonal-reverse` instead.
+
+| Shape                  | Value                 |
+| ---------------------- | --------------------- |
+| All four corners       | `0.625rem`            |
+| The other diagonal     | `0 0.625rem`          |
+| Hexagon (pointed ends) | `0.625rem / 50%`      |
+| Parallelogram          | `0.625rem 0 / 100% 0` |

+  <button class="btn primary">Hexagonal buttons</button>
+</section>

+
+A parallelogram slants its sides into the content, so give a surface that takes one extra inline padding.
+
+**Exceptions:**
+
+- The bevel is Chromium-only today. Firefox and Safari do not draw `corner-shape` yet, and there the aesthetic squares its cut corners instead of rounding them, and what is fully round stays round, so the look degrades to square, lined, and glowing. It picks up the bevel with no change once an engine ships it.
+- The glow is a halo, not depth, so every component takes it -- fields, badges, and alerts included -- and `.flat` does not take it off. `.raised` and `.floating` add no shadow under this aesthetic.
+- In the light theme the glow of a neutral or `.primary` component is its near-black ink, which reads as a soft shadow rather than as light. The look is at its strongest on a dark page, or with a hued `--cyber-ink`.
+- A plain `.btn.icon` is a square control, so it takes the control diagonal; a `.btn.icon.pill` is round, so it becomes a diamond.
+- `--font-cyber` is yours to supply. The package ships no font binary, so the aesthetic falls back to the monospace stack.
+- Casing is left alone, for the reason [Chunky tile](#chunky-tile) gives.
+
+## Sketch
+
+Hand-drawn outlines: controls take long, uneven elliptical corners, and cards, panels, and alerts take sharper ones that stay clear of their padding. Siblings rotate through four outlines by position, and a field's control takes its field's position, so a row of buttons or a stacked form does not repeat one shape. The rotation is stable for a given DOM order, not random on each render. Every outline is a complete `border-radius`, used as written rather than scaled by the size step or placed by `.cut-diagonal`.
+
+The 1px ink line is solid; checkboxes, dividers, and table rules are dashed. `--ui-line-style: dashed` dashes any other component, and `--ui-rule-style: solid` puts a divider or table back to solid. The 2px hard shadow is a small neutral depth cue.
+
+`--sketch-radius`, `--sketch-radius-surface`, and `--sketch-radius-pill` replace the control, surface, and pill-button outlines. Set one and every position takes that one outline. To shape a single component instead, set `--ui-radius` (`--ui-radius-surface` on a surface) on it.
+
+```html
+<section class="sketch" style='--font-sketch: "Comic Sans MS", cursive'>
+  <button class="btn primary">Send note</button>
+  <button class="btn ghost edged" style="--ui-line-style: dashed">Draft note</button>
+</section>
+```
+
+The dashed button is `ghost edged` because a filled button has no separate line to dash.
+
+`.sketch-rounded` trades the long corners for short, rounded ones, bounded so a wide element keeps straight top and bottom edges. Put it beside `.sketch` on the region, or on one component inside it. `--sketch-radius-rounded` and `--sketch-radius-surface-rounded` are its knobs.
+
+```html
+<section class="sketch sketch-rounded">
+  <div class="card">
+    <button class="btn primary">Rounded action</button>
+  </div>
+</section>
+```
+
+**Exceptions:**
+
+- Sketch names components to rotate their outlines, so its outlines reach only this package's components; a region of another aesthetic nested inside a sketch region keeps that aesthetic's corners.
+- Chips -- checkboxes, key caps, code, badges, switches, and progress bars -- rotate through small uneven outlines through `--ui-radius-tight`. Set that token on a chip to choose its shape.
+- A `.btn.pill` takes a rounded pill bounded to its own height, so a wide one does not become an oval. Badges, progress bars, and switches take their chip outline. Radios and the tooltip icon stay circles, slightly uneven, so a radio is never mistaken for a checkbox. An explicit `--ui-radius-pill` on an element still wins.
+- `--font-sketch` is yours to supply. The package ships no handwriting font and falls back to the platform `cursive` family.
+- Buttons press with the plain `scale(0.97)`; reduced motion turns it off.
+- Forced-colours mode draws the dashed accents solid, like every other material line.
+
+## Solo classes
+
+An aesthetic class sets material tokens and nothing paints until a component reads them, so `.glass` on an element this package does not style -- a toast from another library, a dialog, a plain `<div>` on a page without the base stylesheet -- changes nothing. Each aesthetic also ships a solo class that paints its look directly onto the one element carrying it:

+
+A solo class ships in the same entrypoint as its aesthetic, and needs nothing else loaded:
+
+- **It paints material, not colour.** Edge, corner, depth, silhouette, backdrop, font, and press. No intent, no fill amount, no hover tint -- the element has no presentation to compose. Glass's translucent ground is the one fill, because it is glass's material.
+- **It reads its aesthetic's knobs and the theme's tokens, with the shipped values as fallbacks.** `--glass-radius-surface`, `--neo-offset`, `--pixel-unit`, `--tile-lift`, `--tile-radius`, `--cyber-cut`, `--cyber-shape`, `--cyber-shape-surface`, `--cyber-glow`, `--cyber-ink`, `--sketch-radius`, `--sketch-radius-surface`, `--sketch-radius-rounded`, `--sketch-radius-surface-rounded`, and the font knobs (including `--font-sketch`) all work, set on the element or any ancestor. With the theme loaded it follows it; without it, it renders the shipped look.
+- **It ignores the aesthetic around it.** It reads no `--ui-*` or `--elevation-color`, so a `.glass-solo` inside a `.pixel` region keeps its corners. The elevation modifiers do not reach it either.
+- **It beats a foreign component's own styles.** The rules are unlayered and one class deep, so they win over a component's zero-specificity or layered rules wherever the two load. The flip side is that a Tailwind utility on the same element (`rounded-none`) loses to it: tune a solo class through its knobs.
+- **It presses only an action.** Neobrutalism, chunky tile, and cyber press a `button`, `a[href]`, `[role="button"]`, `summary`, or button-type `input` that is not disabled; a container stays put, so a toast does not sink when clicked. Reduced motion drops the movement. Chunky tile's heavier label follows the same rule.
+- **Dark values need a colour scheme.** Light and dark pairs are `light-dark()`, which follows the element's `color-scheme`. The package theme sets it; a page without it gets the light values.
+
+Do not put a solo class on this package's own components. On a `.card` it would replace the composed fill, edge, and intent with material alone; use the aesthetic class there.

 Skeletons, loaders, and dividers are indicators: they read intent but ignore fill and edge [presentation](docs/usage/composing.md#presentation). `.progress` is not one of them — its track reads both, `.soft.edgeless` by default; only the moving value fill stays intent-colored at full strength regardless of presentation. `.solid` is unsupported on the track, and `.ghost.edgeless` renders but is discouraged, since neither leaves the track a visible frame.

-Both read intent, [presentation](docs/usage/composing.md#presentation), and [material tokens](docs/usage/customizing.md#material-tokens). A plain `.card` is a neutral bordered container; only an explicit presentation tints it. Resting at elevation `1` is not a visible shadow by itself — nothing draws depth until an [aesthetic](docs/usage/aesthetics.md) supplies shadow geometry or `.elevation-sm`/`.elevation-md` asks for it; see [Composing → Elevation](docs/usage/composing.md#elevation).

 `.card.soft` with no named intent is untinted at rest — a plain `--color-foreground` plate, no ink mixed in, marking a different container without drawing attention to it. The intent tint and a `--color-surface` ground only appear together, on `:hover`, and only on `.card.interactive`/`.card.hoverable`: a plain `.card.soft` with neither has no hover state to reveal into and stays at the quiet rest. A named intent (`.card.soft.success`, `.card.soft.destructive`, and so on) keeps its ordinary tint at rest instead, and deepens further on hover the same way any other filled surface does — only the no-intent case is untinted, since removing an intent's own color would silence it rather than quiet it. `.solid` and `.ghost` are unaffected either way.

-| Progress track       | Known gap. `.progress`'s registered default, `.soft.edgeless`, does not meet 1.4.11 at rest -- measured ~1.1-1.3:1 against the page in both themes and across intents, down from the ~3.6-4.3:1 the prior fixed-neutral track cleared. An `.edged` presentation restores a boundary through the line for most intents (`primary.soft.edged` ~15:1), but not every one clears 3:1 there either (`warning.soft.edged` ~2.7:1). A consumer whose track must meet 1.4.11 should choose an `.edged` presentation and verify the intents they use, until this is resolved. |

-| Partial fills      | Contrast ink appears only past a half fill, so a capped plate keeps `--intent-strong` rather than walking toward the page.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |

-| Soft-edged border  | `.alert`, `.panel`, `.badge`, `.kbd`, and `.code`/`.pre`'s `.edged` border blends toward the component's own fill; at `.soft`'s 12% fill this misses 3:1 against the fill for some intents, and which ones misses depends on the theme. Known, not fixed -- `--color-border`/`--intent-border` is a shared blend seam every one of them reads, so a targeted fix would need to touch it for one component without moving it for the rest. |

+
+A foundation update with an opt-in sketch aesthetic and rounded sketch variant.
+
+## Breaking
+
+- **The package sits in named cascade layers.** Every entrypoint declares Tailwind's layer order first and places everything in it: foundation tokens and the palette in `theme`, resets in `base`, the intent, presentation, elevation, and aesthetic classes in `components`, and every component in `utilities` -- including on `/components` and `/native`, which emitted them unlayered. Your own utility or unlayered CSS now beats all four class families on the same element, and an aesthetic on `<html>` keeps its tokens over the theme's in any load order. CSS that relied on a package class beating it now loses to it, and a rule of yours in `@layer components` contests the class families by specificity instead of losing outright. See [Setup](docs/setup.md).
+- **Aesthetics set `--ui-corner`, not `--ui-radius`.** The corner is now a length at the default size that scales with the element (below); `--ui-radius` and `--ui-radius-surface` take a complete radius used as written, and every shipped aesthetic sets `--ui-corner` and `--ui-corner-surface` instead. If you set `--ui-radius` yourself, nothing changes for you. An aesthetic of your own moves to `--ui-corner` to get the scale and the corner pattern. `--ui-radius-pill` and `--ui-radius-tight` fall back through `--ui-radius`, then `--ui-corner`.
+- **`--ui-button-weight` and `--ui-button-tracking` are `--ui-label-weight` and `--ui-label-tracking`**, read by `.badge` as well as `.btn`. The old names are removed without an alias. Under `.chunky-tile`, badges now take the heavier label too.
+- **Explicit chip radii are no longer capped.** Checkbox, `.kbd`, and `.code` keep a small default radius when `--ui-radius-tight` is unset, but a supplied value now applies as a complete `border-radius`, including elliptical shapes. A consumer setting a large value now gets the large corner it asked for instead of the previous `--radius-small` ceiling.
+- **Alias classes removed**, each a second name for a class that already had one: `.dense`, `.compact`, and `.spacious` (use `.p-xs`, `.p-sm`, and `.p-lg`); `.danger` and `.error` (use `.destructive`, and `.hint.destructive` for `.hint.error`); and `.elevation-none`, `.elevation-sm`, and `.elevation-md` (use `.flat`, `.raised`, and `.floating`). `.theme-light` and `.theme-dark` stay.
+- **`.cyber` glows everything, flat or not.** Its glow moved from depth onto the new halo, so fields, chips, badges, and alerts glow too, `.flat` no longer puts the glow out, and `.raised` and `.floating` add no shadow under it.
+
+## Added
+
+- **`.sketch`, `.sketch-rounded`, and `.sketch-solo`**: a hand-drawn treatment with uneven elliptical corners, a solid ink line (dashed checkboxes and rules under `.sketch`), a small offset shadow, and an optional consumer-supplied handwriting font. Sibling components rotate between four stable outlines; pill buttons take organic hand-drawn rounded pill contours without oval distortion; switch tracks, knobs, and chips take compact irregular box outlines, and radios stay subtly circular. The opt-in `.sketch-rounded` modifier class provides subtle, organic hand-drawn rounded contours across controls, surfaces, chips, and solo elements with 4-step sibling rotation and no egg-shaped distortion on wide elements. The solo class paints an unstyled element directly; the cascading class restyles package components. Both ship in the aesthetic aggregate and dedicated compiled and Tailwind CSS entrypoints. See [Aesthetics](docs/usage/aesthetics.md#sketch).
+- **Corner scale.** `.p-xs` sets a size step of `0.5`, `.sm` and `.p-sm` `0.75`, and `.lg` and `.p-lg` `1.25`, and the corner is multiplied by it; when a size and a padding class sit on one element, the smaller step wins. A bevel stays a true 45 degrees, so `.cyber`'s 25% cap is gone. Depth follows the step down, never up: a `.p-xs` button sits on half its aesthetic's shadow, which also retires chunky tile's one selector list. `--ui-scale` overrides the step. A press that travels into the depth -- `--ui-active-translate-x` and `-y`, which chunky tile and neobrutalism now set instead of a translating `--ui-active-transform` -- scales the same way, elevation included, so it always lands flat on the slab, and a `.flat` button under either no longer drops. See [Customizing → Corner size and pattern](docs/usage/customizing.md#corner-size-and-pattern).
+- **Corner pattern.** `.cut-diagonal` keeps the top-left and bottom-right corners and squares the other two, `.cut-diagonal-reverse` the opposite pair, wherever the corner is computed -- on a control under `.cyber`, but not a surface, which keeps its own shape. Both set `--ui-corner-tl`, `-tr`, `-br`, and `-bl`, which you can set yourself.
+- **`--ui-line-style`**: `solid`, `dashed`, `dotted`, or `double` for every line a component draws -- the box's edge, the progress track, and dividers and table rules. `--ui-rule-style` overrides only dividers and table rules.
+- **A halo**, `--ui-halo-blur`, `--ui-halo-spread`, and `--ui-halo-ink`: light in the element's own intent colour, which elevation does not scale and `.flat` does not remove.
+- **`--ui-surface-image`**, a painted layer over a surface's plate -- cards, panels, alerts, and tooltips, not controls. Your own `background-image` on a surface still wins.
+- **`--ui-label-case` and `--ui-label-shadow`**, beside the weight and tracking: the label's `text-transform`, and a `text-shadow` written without a colour so it takes the label's own.
+- **`--ui-control-ink`**, a neutral line for controls read ahead of `--ui-ink`. Glass and chunky tile set it, so an unchecked checkbox under glass (1.33:1 before) and a field under chunky tile (1.65:1 before) draw a boundary that reads.
+
+Under forced colours, each new part draws its plain version: a solid line, no halo, no painted layer, and no label shadow.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- **A stylesheet survives being inlined.** The loader art's SVG data URIs carried a literal `</style>`, so a stylesheet pasted into an HTML `<style>` element ended at the first loader and silently dropped every rule after it. It is now percent-encoded.
+- **Every entry ships the theme it promises.** `/components`, `/tw/components`, `/tw/feedback`, and `/tw/tooltip` shipped no colour token at all, and every other focused `/tw` component entry lost the palette ramp the tokens are built from. Each entry now declares every colour it reads, and `/components` works alone.
+- **A line fades into a translucent plate instead of ringing it.** A neutral `.solid.edged`, and any plate `--ui-bg-alpha` thins, drew a ring 1.54:1 against its own fill; the line now fades toward transparent as the fill fills in. The generated palette's edge tokens follow.
+- **A select's options read in the dark theme.** The open list is painted over the select's own background, and a ghost `.select` has none, so Chromium drew its default white popup under options that inherited the near-white text. Options and option groups now take the page's ground and text colour.
+- **A region nested inside glass keeps its own surfaces.** Neobrutalism, pixel, chunky tile, and cyber left glass's translucent ground, fill alpha, and two-layer surface shadow in place, so their cards inside a glass region came out as half glass. Every aesthetic now clears them.
+- **Surfaces under glass stay glass.** A neutral `.card.soft`, `.panel`, and `.alert` sat opaque inside a glass region, and `.card.soft.glass` did on the same element; their quiet ground is now a private default beneath `--ui-surface-ground`.
+
+<!-- Source: docs/changelog/0.4.0.md -->
+
+# 0.4.0
+
+## Added
+
+- **`.cyber`**, a fifth aesthetic from `@codenhub/styles/aesthetics/cyber` (and `/tw/aesthetics/cyber`, and both aggregates): bevelled corners, a 1px edge, and a glow in each component's own colour. Controls cut top-left and bottom-right, surfaces top-right and bottom-left; what is fully round (a radio, a switch, a pill, a badge) cuts to diamonds and pointed hexagons, and chips square. Knobs: `--cyber-cut`, `--cyber-shape`, `--cyber-shape-surface`, `--cyber-glow`, `--cyber-ink`, and the consumer-supplied `--font-cyber`. The bevel is drawn with `corner-shape`, which only Chromium supports today; Firefox and Safari get square cut corners and round round ones. See [Aesthetics → Cyber](docs/usage/aesthetics.md#cyber).
+- **A solo class for every aesthetic**: `.glass-solo`, `.neobrutalism-solo`, `.pixel-solo`, `.chunky-tile-solo`, and `.cyber-solo` paint the aesthetic's look onto the one element carrying the class, for an element this package does not style -- a toast from another library, or a `<div>` on a page without the base stylesheet. Each ships in its aesthetic's existing entrypoint and needs nothing else loaded. See [Aesthetics → Solo classes](docs/usage/aesthetics.md#solo-classes).
+- **Three material tokens**: `--ui-corner-shape` (what a corner draws: `round`, or a `bevel` cut), `--ui-radius-pill` (the corner of what is fully round by default), and `--ui-radius-tight` (the corner of chips, before their `--radius-small` cap). All three default to today's look, so nothing changes unless an aesthetic or your own CSS sets them. See [Customizing → Material tokens](docs/usage/customizing.md#material-tokens).
