 > For: a project that consumes `@usableapp/cardds` and its AI — what changed between versions, written as before → after, so a screen can be brought up to date without reading the source. Newest first. A consumer never edits cardds; if something here leaves you without a way to do what you did before, report the gap.

+### Added
+- **`paper` on a sheet in a stack.** The same prop as the single sheet, on `StackSheet`, on a `Card` in a `SheetStack`, and on each sheet of `Home`. The head keeps `tone`. The body and the foot are white. The gap under the head stays the sheet's colour. The first row sits `--sp-6` (24px at the default spacing) down into the white. A pull to refresh adds its own room on top of that inset. Pass `paper` on the sheets that should look this way. A sheet without it is unchanged.
+
+### Fixed
+- **A dark `paper` head no longer paints its light ink onto the white body.** The words on the white use the page's ink (`--color-ink`, or the wireframe dark when that is unset). A theme that already sets `--color-ink` is unchanged.
