Problem

Two regressions in the Bricks Builder editor (reported by a user):

  1. Missing color swatches — In the variable-picker dropdown, sf-color-*--active / sf-color-*--hover entries render as plain text with no colour square, while sf-color-*, -50/-100/... do show a swatch.
  2. Missing class hints — Most ? tooltips in the class-name dropdown disappeared; only a handful (e.g. sf-bento-featured/-full/-tall) remained, while modifier classes like sf-bento--row-compact / sf-bento--row-tall had none.

Root causes

Colors. Slashed_Color_Resolver::build_family_scales() generated the hover/active semantic aliases with a single dash (--sf-color-action-hover), but the framework tokens are BEM state modifiers with a double dash (--sf-color-action--hover, see core/tokens.css). The builder-side swatch and variable lookups key off the real token name, so those keys never matched → blank swatch.

Class hints. scripts/gen-class-hints.js scraped section-heading comments (/* -- Title ---- */) out of the framework CSS. When the framework adopted its source-comment policy (short /* Label */ separators, long-form docs moved to docs/), the scraper matched almost nothing — every file except states.css produced zero hints, so only the curated overrides survived. It also missed the sf-bento--compact/--tall--row-compact/--row-tall rename and the is-*sf-is-* namespace move. The drift --check still passed because regen == committed (just wrong).

Fix

  • Resolver: the $semantic_aliases suffixes now carry their exact separator — double dash for the BEM state modifiers (--hover, --active), single dash for the tonal aliases (-lighter, -subtle, …) — so generated keys match the framework tokens. Covers both light and dark maps (shared code path).
  • Generator: gen-class-hints.js now reads the framework’s machine-readable docs/api-index.json (the same source gen-variables-hints.js already uses) instead of scraping comments. This is robust to comment reformatting and always tracks the real class names. classes-hints.json grows 63 → 303 entries.

Tests

  • Updated ColorResolverTest to assert the correct --hover/--active naming, plus a new regression guard that the single-dash form is never emitted.
  • Rewrote tests/gen-class-hints.test.js around the new pure buildClassHints() transform.
  • ✅ Node: 197 pass · PHP: 229 pass · all drift checks pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Expanded the class reference with layout, component, utility, accessibility, motion, form, responsive, and theme classes.
    • Added alternate and bento layout options, including renamed compact and tall row modifiers.
    • Improved class descriptions and categorization.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected hover and active color aliases to use consistent double-dash state naming.
    • Removed outdated class hints and legacy state references.

Two regressions surfaced in the Bricks builder after framework changes:

1. Variable-picker swatches were missing for the `--sf-color-*--hover` and
   `--sf-color-*--active` tokens. The PHP color resolver emitted the semantic
   `hover`/`active` aliases with a SINGLE dash (`-hover`), but the framework
   tokens are BEM state modifiers with a DOUBLE dash (`--hover`). The
   builder-side swatch/variable lookups key off the real token name, so those
   entries never matched and rendered blank. Aliases now carry their exact
   separator (double dash for state modifiers, single dash for tonal steps).

2. Most class hints ("?" tooltips) disappeared from the class dropdown.
   gen-class-hints.js scraped section-heading comments out of the framework
   CSS, which stopped matching once the framework adopted its short
   `/* Label */` source-comment policy — so only the curated overrides
   survived, and renamed classes (sf-bento--row-*, is-* -> sf-is-*) went
   undocumented. The generator now reads the framework's machine-readable
   docs/api-index.json (same source as gen-variables-hints.js), which is
   robust to comment reformatting and tracks the real class names.
   Regenerated classes-hints.json grows from 63 to 303 entries.

Tests: updated ColorResolverTest (correct --hover/--active naming + a
regression guard) and rewrote gen-class-hints.test.js around buildClassHints.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR rebuilds class hints from API metadata, updates the class catalog, and preserves distinct separators for tonal, hover, and active color aliases. Tests cover class filtering, categorized output, description normalization, and color alias naming.

Changes

Class hint generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
API-index hint generation
scripts/gen-class-hints.js, tests/gen-class-hints.test.js
buildClassHints() now validates API-index input, filters supported classes, normalizes descriptions, applies categories, and handles invalid or missing data. Tests cover class names, modifiers, categories, filtering, and description normalization.
Framework class catalog
SLASHED-for-WP/data/classes-hints.json
The catalog now documents expanded sf-* classes, updated categories, namespaced state classes, and renamed bento modifiers.

Semantic color aliases

Layer / File(s) Summary
Color alias separator contract
SLASHED-for-WP/includes/class-color-resolver.php, tests-php/ColorResolverTest.php
Tonal aliases retain single-dash suffixes. hover and active aliases use double-dash BEM suffixes. Regression tests verify light and dark maps and reject the former single-dash state aliases.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 240cf

The PR restores Bricks color swatches and class-dropdown hints and is mergeable with owner awareness; dark-mode alias values are not directly asserted, so a mode-specific mapping regression could still escape the tests.

Greptile Summary

The PR corrects semantic color-state token names and replaces fragile CSS-comment scraping with class metadata from the framework API index.

  • Emits canonical double-dash --hover and --active color aliases while retaining single-dash tonal aliases.
  • Generates 303 class hints from docs/api-index.json, including renamed Bento modifiers and namespaced state classes.
  • Reworks PHP and Node regression coverage around the corrected contracts.
  • Leaves the editor color-model ordering logic and fixtures using the obsolete single-dash state-token assumption.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR appears safe to merge, with a non-blocking follow-up needed to recognize and test canonical double-dash state tokens in editor color ordering.

The core color lookup and class-hint regressions are corrected, but restored hover and active swatches currently fall through the JavaScript alias-order classifier because it retains the extra separator.

    P2 Canonical aliases bypass ordering

    The restored --hover and --active keys reach color-model classifiers that retain the second dash when extracting the suffix, so they receive the unknown rank instead of their curated semantic-alias positions. Update the classifiers and their obsolete single-dash fixtures alongside this naming correction.

Add dark-mode alias value assertions.

build_family_scales() is used by both resolve() and resolve_dark() in SLASHED-for-WP/includes/class-color-resolver.php Lines 205-206 and 221-276. This test checks alias values only from resolve(). Extend the loop to assert --hover and --active against the dark map. The existing light/dark key-set test does not detect incorrect dark-mode alias values.

Address review feedback on the class-hints generator and tests:

- Normalize api-index descriptions that were truncated mid-sentence with a
  trailing ellipsis (…/...) back to their last complete sentence, so tooltips
  never end on a broken clause. Fixes sf-fluid-cq, sf-stagger, sf-surface-bg,
  and sf-touch-target; regenerated classes-hints.json accordingly.
- Kept sf-line-clamp-N: it is a real, literal PUBLIC selector in macros.css
  (alongside sf-line-clamp-2/-3) and appears in the inventory, so it is a
  legitimate applyable class that should carry a hint — not a placeholder.
- Cover the bare is-* generator branch with a fixture (the runtime resolver
  still accepts is-*), and add normalizeDescription unit tests.
- Assert the --hover/--active alias wiring in BOTH the light and dark maps.

Addressed review feedback (commit 240cf97)

1. Truncated descriptions (gen-class-hints.js) — ✅ Fixed. Added normalizeDescription(): when the framework’s api-index truncates a description mid-sentence with a trailing ellipsis (/...), it is now cut back to the last complete sentence so the tooltip never ends on a broken clause. Regenerated classes-hints.json; sf-fluid-cq, sf-stagger, sf-surface-bg, and sf-touch-target now read cleanly.

2. sf-line-clamp-N (suggested removal) — ⏭️ Kept intentionally. This is not a placeholder: .sf-line-clamp-N is a real literal PUBLIC selector in core/macros.css (defined next to .sf-line-clamp-2 / .sf-line-clamp-3, applying -webkit-line-clamp: var(--sf-line-clamp)), and it is present in data/inventory.json, so it shows in the Bricks dropdown and should carry a hint. A generic -N placeholder filter would wrongly drop a valid class.

3. Test title / bare is-* branch — ✅ Fixed. Added an is-open fixture so the bare is-* branch is covered and the title is accurate. The generator keeps the is-* branch to mirror the runtime resolver, which still accepts is-* tokens.

4. Dark-mode alias assertions (ColorResolverTest) — ✅ Added. Both the alias-target and the double-dash naming guards now run against resolve() and resolve_dark().

Validation: node 203 pass · PHP 229 pass (964 assertions) · drift check clean.

Follow-up: remaining blank swatches (commit 6126c5a)

The first fix covered the --hover/--active state modifiers. A user reported some swatches were still blank, so I diffed every color token the picker lists (parsed from the optimal & full bundles) against the resolver’s hex-map keys and found 26 --sf-color-* entries with no resolved value:

  • per-family raw source tokens -source-light / -source-dark (10 families = 20),
  • literal white / black,
  • caret (framework aliases it to action),
  • selection-bg--alt / selection-text--alt,
  • text--subtle.

Added Slashed_Color_Resolver::add_picker_only_tokens(), invoked from both resolve() and resolve_dark() with the same light/dark source sets so the maps keep an identical key set. Source tokens are absolute (mode-independent); text--subtle is derived from the mode-appropriate neutral source per core/tokens.css; the alt-selection pair reuses the same-scheme selection swatch.

Verified: re-running the picker-vs-resolver diff on both bundles now reports 0 color tokens without a swatch (was 26). Light/dark key counts match (469 = 469). Added regression tests; PHP suite 232 pass (1031 assertions).
