This release delivers a significant pattern library consolidation and editorial component expansion across the Elayne block theme, resulting in a net reduction of 512 lines through the removal of 13 deprecated patterns and the introduction of targeted block styles that replace inline CSS overrides. A new editorial header system (header-editorial.php) and a unified main-hero.php pattern consolidate previously fragmented hero and header variants, while five dedicated block-style CSS files (brand-logo.css, editorial-eyebrow.css, editorial-header.css, editorial-hero-heading.css, status-pill.css) replace ad-hoc styling previously scattered across patterns. Industry vertical patterns for plumbing/home improvement, food and beverage, legal, and nail salon have been refined with improved markup structure, semantic spacing, and translation-ready strings. Core configuration files (theme.json, functions.php, composer.json, package.json) and developer documentation (CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md) have been updated to reflect the new component architecture.

Pattern Library Cleanup and Consolidation:

  • Removed 13 deprecated patterns including author-box.php, all blog-post-columns-* variants, career-opportunities.php, case-study-detailed.php, client-reviews.php, hero-cover-slanted.php, hero-modern-dark.php, hero-two-tone.php, three legal-hero-* variants, page-coming-soon.php, spa-overlapping-feature-columns-reversed.php, and stats-list.php, eliminating redundant or superseded layout approaches.
  • Added main-hero.php as a unified hero entry point and header-editorial.php as a dedicated editorial header variant, replacing the previously fragmented multi-file approach.

Block Style Architecture:

  • Introduced five new scoped block-style CSS files under assets/styles/block-styles/, each registered via wp_enqueue_block_style() to load only on pages where the respective style is used, reducing global CSS payload.
  • The status-pill.css and editorial-eyebrow.css files specifically address the pill/badge padding standardisation outlined in the design system, enforcing x-small/small spacing constraints via registered styles rather than inline overrides.

Vertical Pattern Improvements:

  • Plumbing/home improvement, food and beverage, and legal patterns received structural markup corrections, improved blockGap usage replacing spacer blocks, and enhanced translation coverage across plumbing-contact.php, plumbing-emergency-cta.php, fandb-events-grid.php, fandb-hours-location.php, legal-stats.php, and legal-team.php.
  • WooCommerce patterns (woo-hero.php, woo-product-related.php) and utility templates (template-index-list.php, template-page-search.php) were updated to align with current block serialization requirements and filter block conventions.

Documentation and Developer Guidance:

  • CLAUDE.md was updated with expanded guidance covering border-radius presets, WooCommerce filter block taxonomy usage, and the plumbing slug naming rationale to prevent future renames.
  • .vibe/skills/design/SKILL.md and .vibe/prompts/vibe.md were revised alongside CONTRIBUTING.md and README.md to reflect the current pattern scaffolding workflow and vertical development process.
