Why

Two rounds of feedback on the configurator:

  1. Changes ▸ clicking Inherit wiped an override in one click. The Inherit
    tab sits next to Value/Expression and reads like a view switch, so a stray
    click silently discarded work.
  2. The right-hand live preview is optional and doesn't cover every control.
    Several control groups had no in-panel visual, leaving the user guessing what
    an input does.

What changed

Guarded, non-destructive Inherit reset (ValueField.svelte)

  • Clicking Inherit while an override exists now arms a confirm banner
    (Discard this override and inherit <default>? · Cancel / Reset). Only the
    explicit Reset calls onReset().
  • With nothing overridden, Inherit stays a harmless no-op (no phantom reset).
  • The pending state clears automatically if the value changes from elsewhere.
  • Applies everywhere the value editor is used: Changes, All tokens, and
    the generic token panels — the explicit reset buttons are unchanged.

Glance-able in-panel previews for the gaps

Every added preview is simple and reacts live to its own controls:

Panel Added preview
Effects text-shadow legibility swatches over a gradient
Typography letter-spacing sample · line-height rhythm · tabular vs proportional numerals
System (Misc) z-index stacking order · icon-size ladder · object-fit · required field marker (+ a “no preview” note for device safe-area insets)
Shape (Borders) divider rule between two lines · field-shape input sample
Layout live .sf-cluster, .sf-equal and .sf-reel primitives

Existing panels that already had good previews (Spacing, Shadows, Motion,
Components, Colors, …) are left as-is; width-/scroll-dependent Layout primitives
(switcher, cover, content-grid, imposter) keep their explanatory help text.

Verification

  • npm run check (svelte-check): 0 errors, 0 warnings
  • npx vitest run: 318 passed
  • npm run build: succeeds

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added visual previews for borders, field shapes, text shadows, layouts, layering, icon sizes, object fitting, safe areas, required fields, and typography settings.
    • Layout previews now reflect configured alignment, columns, item widths, and overflow behavior.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Switching an overridden value to Inherit now requires explicit confirmation.
    • Overrides remain unchanged until Reset is selected, with a Cancel option available.

…rol gaps

Changes panel / value editor: clicking the Inherit tab when an override
exists no longer wipes it in one click. It now arms a confirm banner
(Cancel / Reset) and only the explicit Reset discards the override; with
nothing overridden it stays a harmless no-op. Applies everywhere the
value editor is used (Changes, All-tokens, generic token panels).

In-panel previews: the right-hand live preview is optional and does not
cover every control, so fill the control groups that had no visual:
- Effects: text-shadow legibility swatches over a gradient
- Typography: letter-spacing, line-height and tabular/proportional numerals
- System (Misc): z-index stacking order, icon-size ladder, object-fit,
  required field marker (+ safe-area 'no preview' note)
- Shape (Borders): divider rule sample, field-shape input sample
- Layout: live .sf-cluster, .sf-equal and .sf-reel primitives

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The configurator now confirms before removing overridden values. It also adds visual previews for border, effect, layout, miscellaneous, and typography tokens.

Changes

Override confirmation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Inherit confirmation flow
configurator/src/components/inputs/ValueField.svelte
Selecting Inherit preserves an existing override until the user confirms Reset. Cancel leaves the override unchanged.

Token previews

Layer / File(s) Summary
Border and effect previews
configurator/src/components/panels/BordersPanel.svelte, configurator/src/components/panels/EffectsPanel.svelte
Added divider, field-shape, and text-shadow previews driven by configured tokens.
Layout primitive previews
configurator/src/components/panels/LayoutPanel.svelte
Added Cluster, Equal-columns, and Reel previews using the corresponding .sf-* classes.
Miscellaneous token previews
configurator/src/components/panels/MiscPanel.svelte
Added previews for layering, icon sizes, object-fit, safe-area text, and required-field markers.
Typography token previews
configurator/src/components/panels/TypographyPanel.svelte
Added numeric-figure, line-height, and letter-spacing previews.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7140a

The PR improves reset safety and adds previews, but two bounded UI issues remain: confirmation can present two active tabs to assistive technology, and the Cluster preview can misrepresent stretch alignment. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds an explicit confirmation before ValueField’s Inherit reset and introduces compact live examples for previously unpreviewed configurator controls.

  • Guards destructive Inherit resets behind Cancel/Reset confirmation.
  • Adds borders, effects, typography, system, and layout previews.
  • The z-index preview does not reflect user-configured layer reordering.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR should not merge until the z-index preview reflects the configured numeric ordering rather than presenting a misleading fixed hierarchy.

Users can assign arbitrary values to each z-index rung, but the new preview always stacks entries by a constant array order, so valid configurations that reorder layers are visualized incorrectly.

Files Needing Attention: configurator/src/components/panels/MiscPanel.svelte

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
configurator/src/components/inputs/ValueField.svelte Adds a confirmation state and explicit reset action for destructive Inherit transitions; no actionable defect remained after checking interaction ordering.
configurator/src/components/panels/BordersPanel.svelte Adds divider and field-shape samples wired to their corresponding CSS tokens.
configurator/src/components/panels/EffectsPanel.svelte Adds text-shadow specimens using the existing shadow token scale.
configurator/src/components/panels/LayoutPanel.svelte Adds live cluster, flowing-column, and reel examples using the framework’s actual primitive classes.
configurator/src/components/panels/MiscPanel.svelte Adds several system-control previews, but the z-index ladder retains a fixed visual ordering regardless of configured values.
configurator/src/components/panels/TypographyPanel.svelte Adds numeric-figure, leading, and tracking specimens bound to the existing typography tokens.

P1 Fixed z-index preview ordering

When configured z-index values reverse the predefined hierarchy, this loop still stacks entries according to Z_LADDER and uses the configured values only as labels, causing the preview to show an incorrect painting order.

Addressed all three review findings in a66d23e:

  • ValueField (CodeRabbit, a11y): while the Inherit confirm is armed, only the Inherit tab is now aria-pressedactive = confirmingInherit ? t.id === 'inherit' : mode === t.id.
  • LayoutPanel (CodeRabbit): cluster preview items now use min-height instead of a fixed height, so selecting align-items: stretch visibly resizes them while other modes keep their uneven intrinsic heights.
  • MiscPanel (Greptile): the z-index preview stack is now derived from each rung's current value (override or default), sorted high→low, so reordering the numbers reorders the visual stack instead of showing a fixed hierarchy.

svelte-check: 0 errors / 0 warnings.

…, tab a11y

- ValueField: while confirming Inherit, only the Inherit tab is aria-pressed
  (previously two tabs were marked active).
- LayoutPanel: cluster preview items use min-height so align-items:stretch is
  demonstrable; other alignment modes keep their uneven intrinsic heights.
- MiscPanel: z-index preview orders the stack by each rung's current value
  (override or default) instead of a fixed array, so reordering the numbers
  reorders the visual stack.
