Phase 1 of the configurator UX redesign — the foundation

This is the first shippable increment of the configurator UX overhaul. It adds the missing logic layer the audit identified as the root cause of the "nieintuicyjny / illogical override" problems, and immediately puts it to work on the most technical screen.

The core problem it fixes

The studio treated every token as an equal, free-standing string. It didn't know which tokens are user-settable sources, which are one-to-one aliases, and which are generated outputs; nor which tokens depend on which. So a user could "freeze" a derived output or a generated scale step and silently disconnect it from the system that produces it — with no warning anywhere except the two scale panels.

What's new

src/lib/tokenModel.ts — derived entirely from the framework-authored manifest (role, aliasOf, namespace, value), so it never drifts from the framework:

  • roleOfsource | alias | output
  • aliasTargetOf / referencesIn / pureVarTarget
  • buildDependencyGraph → whole-catalogue dependsOn / usedBy
  • SCALE_FAMILIES + scaleShadows → generalises generated-step shadow detection to radius, border-width and motion (previously text/space only — a gap the audit flagged)
  • validateTokenValue → rejects empty / CSS-breaking values (closes the --x: ; export hole), with real CSS.supports() probing in the browser and structural checks headless
  • tokenStatedefault | custom | relinked | detached | invalid

Visible wiring — the All tokens screen (TokenRow / AllTokensTab): every row now shows

  • a role badge (SOURCE / ALIAS / OUTPUT),
  • its alias source (↳ inherits font-body),
  • a used by N dependents count,
  • and an explicit Detached / Invalid warning with one-click Restore link.

Verification

  • npm run check (svelte-check): 0 errors
  • npm run lint (tsc): clean
  • npm run test: 244/244 pass, including a new tests/tokenModel.test.ts (34 tests) with a guard that runs the model over the real baked catalogue (every token classifies into a role, the dependency graph is internally consistent, every scale-family source/step is a real token)
  • Rendered and screenshot-verified in Chromium (role badges, inherits/used-by hints, and the detached warning on a pinned text-l step all render correctly)

Scope / what's intentionally NOT here

This PR is deliberately additive and non-disruptive: it does not move any token between panels or change navigation. The larger, individually-reviewable phases build on this foundation:

  1. (this PR) token model + role/state in All tokens
  2. metadata-driven, deterministic domain classification (replaces substring matching; documented move-diff)
  3. new Changes panel (all overrides grouped by consequence)
  4. new information architecture (Foundations / Composition / Quality / Project; Borders→Shape, Shadows+Effects→Depth, split Misc, Accessibility)
  5. unified edit controls (Inherit/Value/Expression; never hide var()/calc(); shared scale control; grouped undo)
  6. named navigation + global search with deep-link to control
  7. mobile drawer + unified import/export

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Token entries now show their roles, aliases, dependency relationships, and the number of tokens that reference them.
    • Added clearer indicators for generated scales, inherited values, and related token structures.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Added validation feedback for invalid or detached overrides.
    • Users can reset problematic overrides directly from the token row.
  • Quality Improvements
    • Improved consistency of token classification, dependency tracking, value validation, and override-state detection.

…ate in All tokens

Introduce src/lib/tokenModel.ts, the configurator's first-class understanding
of how tokens relate — derived from the framework manifest (role, aliasOf,
namespace, value) instead of re-guessing from names:

- roleOf: source | alias | output
- aliasTargetOf / referencesIn / pureVarTarget
- buildDependencyGraph: whole-catalogue dependsOn / usedBy
- SCALE_FAMILIES + scaleShadows: generalise scale-step shadow detection to
  radius, border-width and motion (previously only text/space)
- validateTokenValue: reject empty / CSS-breaking values (closes the "--x: ;"
  export hole) with optional CSS.supports probing in the browser
- tokenState: default | custom | relinked | detached | invalid

Wire it into the All tokens screen (TokenRow/AllTokensTab): each row now shows
a role badge, its alias source ("inherits X"), a "used by N" dependents count,
and an explicit Detached/Invalid warning with a one-click restore — directly
addressing the audit findings that outputs were editable like knobs with no
dependency context and detachment was invisible.

Adds tests/tokenModel.test.ts (34 tests incl. a guard over the real baked
catalogue). check, lint and all 244 unit tests pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a pure token-analysis model for roles, aliases, dependencies, scale families, validation, and override states. AllTokensTab supplies dependency counts to TokenRow, which now displays relationship metadata and override warnings with reset actions.

Changes

Token analysis and configurator display

Layer / File(s) Summary
Token relationships and scale analysis
configurator/src/lib/tokenModel.ts, configurator/tests/tokenModel.test.ts
The token model resolves references and aliases, classifies roles, builds dependency graphs, and identifies scale families and shadowed steps. Unit tests cover these relationships.
Override validation and state classification
configurator/src/lib/tokenModel.ts, configurator/tests/tokenModel.test.ts
Values are validated and classified as default, custom, relinked, detached, or invalid. Tests cover override states, inheritance, validation, and the baked catalogue.
Dependency-aware token row display
configurator/src/components/panels/AllTokensTab.svelte, configurator/src/components/inputs/TokenRow.svelte, configurator/tests/tokenModel.test.ts
AllTokensTab passes dependent counts to TokenRow. Rows display role badges, alias context, dependency counts, and reset actions for detached or invalid overrides.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0d6aa

The new token validation can reject valid decimal number tokens and accept invalid auto values for numeric syntaxes, potentially causing incorrect token states, warnings, or exported configuration. Merge should wait for syntax-specific validation or explicit owner acceptance.

Greptile Summary

The PR introduces a manifest-derived token relationship model and surfaces token roles, dependencies, and override states in All Tokens.

  • Adds source, alias, and output classification with dependency-graph construction.
  • Adds scale-shadow detection and override-value validation.
  • Adds role badges, relationship hints, and restore/reset warnings to token rows.
  • Adds focused unit and real-catalogue consistency tests.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The PR should not merge until valid fractional number overrides stop being rejected and malformed CSS expressions stop being presented as valid relinks.

The new state model misclassifies valid decimal values as Invalid and allows malformed var() expressions to bypass validation, causing misleading UI and silently ineffective CSS overrides.

Files Needing Attention: configurator/src/lib/tokenModel.ts

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
configurator/src/lib/tokenModel.ts Adds the central relationship and validation model, but decimal <number> values and malformed function expressions can be classified incorrectly.
configurator/src/components/inputs/TokenRow.svelte Adds role, dependency, Detached, and Invalid UI driven by tokenModel state; incorrect model results become misleading warnings here.
configurator/src/components/panels/AllTokensTab.svelte Builds the catalogue dependency graph and passes dependent counts into each token row.
configurator/tests/tokenModel.test.ts Covers core classifications and structural validation but omits browser validation of fractional <number> values and malformed var() syntax.

P1 Fractional numbers fail validation

When a decimal override such as --sf-text-ratio-max: 1.4 is validated, the <number> syntax is probed through integer-only z-index, causing a valid token value to be labeled Invalid and presented with a misleading Reset action.

Suggested change
if (s.includes("<number>") || s.includes("<integer>")) return "z-index";
if (s.includes("<number>")) return "line-height";

P1 Malformed relinks bypass validation

When an override contains a malformed expression such as var(--sf-space-m, 1rem)), the function check skips CSS.supports and the permissive alias regex classifies it as relinked, causing All Tokens to omit the Invalid warning while the browser rejects the emitted declaration.

validation that accepts decimal number values and rejects auto, or leave both
