Phase 3 of the configurator UX redesign — the Changes overview

Stacked on #691 + #692. Merge those first; this branch includes their commits.

A new central screen (nav → Changes) that answers the questions the audit said users couldn't: what have I actually changed, what will it do to the system, and where do I fix it? It organises every active override by consequence, not by panel:

Group Meaning
Invalid structurally unsafe — will be dropped on export
Detached a concrete override on an output / alias / generated scale step — frozen and disconnected from what produces it
Re-linked re-pointed at another token instead of a fixed value
Custom a source value you set (expected & safe)
Not in this build override keys that aren't tokens in this framework version

Each entry reuses TokenRow (role badge, inherits, used by N, the Detached/Invalid warning + one-click restore) and deep-links to the owning panel. Scale-shadow callouts surface pinned ladder steps that make a source knob inert, with a "Restore generated scale" bulk action. Per-group Reset N, a global Reset all, and an empty state that confirms you're on framework defaults.

A real bug this surfaced and fixed

Building the panel revealed that tokenState's invalid was coupled to the semantic CSS.supports() probe, which wrongly flagged safe values — e.g. a fractional 1.1 on a <number> token, because <number> was probed against the integer-only z-index property. That mislabels a value as "will be dropped on export" when it wouldn't be.

Fix: tokenState.invalid now uses isStructurallySafe() only (empty / CSS-breaking chars — exactly what codec/themeFile drop), so the copy is truthful. validateTokenValue keeps the richer probe (now <number>opacity, <integer>z-index) as an advisory signal for the value editor coming in phase 5.

Verification

  • npm run check: 0 errors · npm run lint: clean
  • npm run test: 257/257 (tokenModel now 39, incl. summarizeChanges + isStructurallySafe + a regression test that a fractional <number> override is custom, not invalid)
  • Screenshot-verified in Chromium: groups, scale-shadow callout, domain deep-links and restore actions all render.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The configurator adds a Changes domain. It classifies active overrides, displays grouped consequences, supports reset actions, and shows aggregate override counts in navigation. Structural validation now determines invalid token states.

Changes

Changes domain

Layer / File(s) Summary
Override safety and summaries
configurator/src/lib/tokenModel.ts, configurator/tests/tokenModel.test.ts
Structural safety now determines invalid states. summarizeChanges groups overrides as invalid, detached, relinked, custom, or unknown. Tests cover validation and grouping.
Changes panel behavior
configurator/src/components/panels/ChangesPanel.svelte
The new panel displays grouped overrides, counts, shadow-scale warnings, empty states, reset actions, editable known tokens, and removable unknown keys.
Navigation and domain integration
configurator/src/App.svelte, configurator/src/components/DomainPanel.svelte, configurator/src/components/shell/SidebarNav.svelte
The Changes domain is routed to ChangesPanel. Sidebar navigation shows the aggregate override count. The cheatsheet label is Classes.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0ce43

Malformed override data can crash the Changes view, and some overrides may still be shown as safe for export when they are not. Merge should wait for validation to handle these cases consistently with export behavior.

Greptile Summary

The PR adds a Changes overview that groups active token overrides by consequence and centralizes token relationships, scale-shadow detection, and namespace-based domain routing.

  • Adds grouped override inspection, reset actions, deep links, relationship badges, and generated-scale warnings.
  • Replaces substring-based panel routing with a shared namespace-to-domain map.
  • Adds token-model and domain-classification tests.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The export-safety classifier should be aligned with the actual persistence constraints before merging so the Changes panel does not present values as safe when an export path rejects or drops them.

The new consequence model misses control-character and oversized-value rejection rules, while its scale-shadow callout also gives contradictory non-blocking guidance for relinked generated steps.

Files Needing Attention: configurator/src/lib/tokenModel.ts, configurator/src/components/panels/ChangesPanel.svelte

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
configurator/src/lib/tokenModel.ts Introduces the central token relationship and consequence model, but export-safety parity and relinked scale-step handling are incomplete.
configurator/src/components/panels/ChangesPanel.svelte Adds the grouped Changes interface and reset actions; its scale warning inherits the model's overly broad pinned-step classification.
configurator/src/lib/domains.ts Replaces overlapping substring routing with deterministic namespace classification and a Misc fallback.
configurator/src/data/domain-map.json Defines the shared namespace and exception mapping used by runtime routing and curation checks.
configurator/src/components/inputs/TokenRow.svelte Adds role, dependency, inheritance, and override-state context to token rows.
configurator/tests/tokenModel.test.ts Covers token roles, dependency relationships, scale families, validation, and change summaries but omits export-predicate parity and relinked scale-step shadows.

P1 Export safety checks are incomplete

When an imported or edited override contains a control character or exceeds the codec's 65,535-byte limit, isStructurallySafe still classifies it as safe, causing the Changes panel to label it Custom, Detached, or Re-linked even though theme-file validation rejects it or share-link encoding silently drops it.

P2 Relinked steps appear pinned

A generated step overridden with a pure var(--sf-*) reference is classified as Re-linked by tokenState, but this presence-only filter also reports it as a fixed pinned step. The Changes panel therefore presents contradictory state and offers a bulk action that removes the user's deliberate relink.

Suggested change
const shadowedSteps = family.steps.filter((s) => s in overrides);
const shadowedSteps = family.steps.filter(
(s) => s in overrides && !pureVarTarget(overrides[s]),
);

Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

…sequence

New central overview (nav → Changes) that answers "what have I actually changed,
and does any of it quietly break the system?". Organised by consequence rather
than by panel:

- Invalid   — structurally unsafe, will be dropped on export
- Detached  — a concrete override on an output / alias / generated scale step;
              frozen and disconnected from what would produce it
- Re-linked — re-pointed at another token instead of a fixed value
- Custom    — a source value you set (expected/safe)
- Not in this build — override keys that aren't tokens in this framework version

Each entry reuses TokenRow (role badge, inherits, used-by, Detached/Invalid
warning + one-click restore) and deep-links to the owning panel. Scale-shadow
callouts surface pinned ladder steps that make a source knob inert, with a
"Restore generated scale" bulk action. A per-group "Reset N" and a global
"Reset all" round it out; an empty state confirms you're on framework defaults.

Model additions in tokenModel.ts:
- summarizeChanges(): buckets overrides by consequence (unit-tested)
- isStructurallySafe(): the authoritative export-safety gate; tokenState's
  `invalid` now uses ONLY this, so the "will be dropped on export" copy is
  truthful. Decoupled from the semantic CSS.supports probe, which wrongly
  flagged safe values (e.g. a fractional number for a <number> token, via a
  z-index probe). validateTokenValue keeps the richer probe (fixed <number>→
  opacity, <integer>→z-index) as an advisory signal for the value editor.

Wired into SidebarNav (Changes tool with a total-overrides badge), DomainPanel
routing and App labels. Tests: 257/257 pass (tokenModel now 39). check + lint
clean; screenshot-verified in Chromium.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep all export-rejection checks in isStructurallySafe.

Line 385 now bypasses the control-character and export-size checks at Lines 335-336. A control-character value or a value larger than MAX_CODEC_BYTES can be classified as custom or detached instead of invalid.

Add those checks to isStructurallySafe. Add tokenState coverage for both cases.

Proposed fix
 export function isStructurallySafe(value: string): boolean {
   if (typeof value !== "string") return false;
   const v = value.trim();
   if (v === "") return false;
-  return !CSS_BREAKING_RE.test(v);
+  if (CSS_BREAKING_RE.test(v) || CONTROL_CHAR_RE.test(v)) return false;
+  return new TextEncoder().encode(v).byteLength <= MAX_CODEC_BYTES;
 }

Also applies to: 383-385

In `@configurator/src/lib/tokenModel.ts` around lines 294 - 299, Update
isStructurallySafe to reject control-character values and values exceeding
MAX_CODEC_BYTES, preserving all export-rejection checks before values can be
classified as custom or detached. Add tokenState coverage for both invalid
cases.

Two token-model classifications diverged from what the export path actually
enforces, so the Changes panel could mislabel overrides:

- isStructurallySafe (the gate behind the `invalid` state) only rejected
  CSS-breaking characters. A control character or a value over the codec's
  65,535-byte share-link limit was reported as Custom/Detached/Re-linked even
  though theme-file validation refuses it and share-link encoding drops it. It
  now mirrors every export rejection (CSS-breaking + control chars + byte size).

- pureVarTarget treated a var() with a fallback followed by more content
  (e.g. `var(--sf-a, red) var(--sf-b)`) as a pure single-token relink, because
  PURE_VAR_RE's greedy fallback group spans past the var()'s own closing paren.
  It now confirms the leading `var(` closes at the end of the string, so only a
  genuine single-var alias is classified as Re-linked.

Adds unit + tokenState coverage for control chars, oversized values, and the
compound-var case.

Validate ov before calling .trim().

WordPress hydration accepts any non-array object as overrides, including non-string values. numericAuto throws before isStructurallySafe(ov) can return false. Run the structural checks first and return "invalid" for malformed values.
