+Nine tokens are registered in `variables.css`: the eight color knobs with
+`syntax: '<color>'`, and `--bb-ring-opacity` with `syntax: '<percentage>'`.
+All are `inherits: true`.
+
+**Registration types them, and a typed property rejects.** A declaration that
+does not parse as the declared syntax is invalid at computed-value time — the
+value is discarded, and because these inherit, an override at `:root` (no
+parent to inherit from) lands on the registered `initial-value`. That is the
+fail-soft half: an unparseable `--bb-panel` falls back instead of detonating
+every derivation that mixes it. It is also the trap. Write
+
+```css
+:root {
+	--bb-ring-opacity: 0.15;
+} /* wrong: not a <percentage> */
+```
+
+and nothing errors — not the build, not the console. The computed value is
+just `25%`, and every ring paints 1.67× stronger than the `15%` you asked for
+(opacity is the ring's strength; its thickness is `--bb-ring-size`).
+Percentages need the `%`; colors must be a `<color>` (`transparent` and
+`currentColor` qualify, `none` and a mistyped hex do not). Nothing in the
+toolchain catches it either: `bitboss-ui check` reads `.vue`/`.md`, never
+stylesheets.
+
+Fail-soft is only soft when the initial value is close to the real one. Every
+color knob is registered at its light default, so a rejected color override
+renders the library's own light theme. `--bb-ring-opacity` is registered at
+`25%`, which matches neither shipped scope (light `15%`, dark `40%`), so a
+rejected value there is the one that shows.

+Typed knobs are also **animatable**. Add `.theme-animated`

+**Exception — an app that needs its own CSS to load _before_ the library.**
+Auto-injection is library-first and not configurable: the runtime plugin
+inserts its `<style>` **before the first** `style`/`link[rel="stylesheet"]`
+already in `<head>` (`src/utils/injectLibraryStyles.ts`), so the guaranteed
+order above is exactly what you get and every app stylesheet — your Tailwind
+entry included — lands after the library. There is no option to inject later.
+
+That is the order most apps want. It is the wrong order if you need library
+rules to beat Tailwind's Preflight **by source order**, which is the case on
+**Tailwind v3**: `@tailwind base` compiles to ordinary unlayered CSS, so under
+auto-injection Preflight sits after the library sheet and its element resets
+(`button`, `input`, `h1`, …) win every equal-specificity tie. `injectStyles:
+false` + `resetCss: false` (the default) disables injection entirely and hands
+you the order:
+
+```ts
+// vite.config.ts / the `bitboss` key in nuxt.config.ts
+bitbossUi({ iconDir: '…', injectStyles: false, resetCss: false });
+```
+
+```ts
+// app entry — order is yours now
+import './app.css'; // your Tailwind entry
+import 'bitboss-ui/styles.css'; // after Tailwind, so library rules win the ties
+```
+
+Leave `resetCss` at `false` here — Preflight already reset everything.
+Nothing else about the plugin changes; `injectStyles` controls only whether the
+library injects its own `<style>`.
+
+**Tailwind v4 apps do not need this** — source order does not decide their ties
+at all. `@import 'tailwindcss'` puts Preflight in a real `@layer base` and
+utilities in `@layer utilities`, and layered rules lose to unlayered rules of
+equal specificity **regardless of source order**. `dist/styles.css` declares no
+`@layer`, so the library wins those ties wherever it is injected: leave
+auto-injection on. The same mechanic bites the other way, and silently — a
+utility cannot re-size a Bb component either. `<BbButton class="h-12 px-6">`
+loses to the library's own `.bb-button { height: var(--h); padding-left:
+var(--px); padding-right: var(--px) }` (equal specificity, unlayered), with no
+warning from anything. Size Bb components through their props and tokens, never
+utilities. (Same trap as the scoped-`<style>` case above, one level up.)

+slotted content, or the built-in person glyph — an image covers all of them):
+
+| local                  | default                                    | paints                      |

+| `--text-color`         | `var(--bb-primary-fg)`                     | initials / slotted fallback |
+| `--default-icon-color` | 80% mix of `--bb-primary-fg` over the fill | the built-in person glyph   |
+
+Set them on a scope, not on the component:
+
+```css
+.team-avatar .bb-avatar {
+	--bg-color: #7c3aed;
+	--text-color: #fff;
+}
+```
+
+⚠ Set **both**. `--bg-color` alone leaves the initials at `--bb-primary-fg`,
+which is the contrast pair for the _primary_ color, not for yours — the symptom
+is white-on-pale or black-on-dark initials.
+
+Use this for a color that genuinely varies per instance (per-team, per-tenant).
+If the v2 `color` was your brand color repeated at every call site, retheme
+`--bb-primary` / `--bb-primary-fg` once instead and write no per-avatar rules.
+That is the order the BbAvatar usage guide prescribes: retheme the tokens
+first, reach for the locals only when the value is per-instance.
+
+## `.bb-avatar--square` was never a library modifier
+
+If your app has a `.bb-avatar--square` rule, it is **your** CSS. v2 shipped no
+such modifier — its entire avatar stylesheet was four rules, all hardcoding
+`border-radius: 50%`, and the string `square` appears nowhere in the v2
+package. v3 bakes in the same circle.
+
+So nothing was removed and there is no v3 modifier to rename to. Your rule
+keeps working: it has the same specificity as the library's `.bb-avatar` rule
+and the library sheet is injected above your app CSS, so yours wins the tie.
+Rename the class to an app-owned block (`.p-avatar--square`) anyway, so the
+next reader does not take it for library API and go hunting for a `shape` prop.
