Implements a new `squircle-pill-*` utility class family with Houdini CSS Paint API support for creating pill-shaped rectangles with mathematically continuous transitions from semicircular ends to straight edges. Features: - CSS Paint Worklet (pill-shape.worklet.ts): Renders pill shapes using canvas with G2-continuous Bezier transitions - Horizontal pills: semicircles on left/right, straight edges top/bottom - Vertical pills: semicircles on top/bottom, straight edges left/right - Uses cubic Bezier approximation constant (0.55228) for smooth curvature matching - Framework integrations for all supported frameworks: - Tailwind v4 (tailwind-pill.ts): New squircle-pill-* class utilities matching rounded-* variants - Panda CSS (panda-pill.ts): Preset with squirclePill* properties mirroring borderRadius - StyleX (stylex-pill.template.ts): Dynamic style functions with per-call radius + amount parameters - CSS foundation (squircle-pill.css): - @Property declarations for CSS custom properties (--pill-radius, --pill-width, --pill-height) - Fallback to corner-shape: superellipse() for browsers without Paint Worklet support - Progressive enhancement with @supports feature detection - Build integration: - Updated vite.config.ts to include pill module entries - Added copy-pill-assets.ts script for CSS distribution - Package.json exports for /tailwind-pill, /panda-pill, /stylex-pill, and /squircle-pill.css G2 continuity is achieved by positioning Bezier control points at specific distances from junction points, smoothly transitioning from the semicircle's constant curvature to the straight edge's zero curvature. Browsers without Paint Worklet support gracefully fall back to standard corner-shape utilities.
The exported PillShape class methods were declared as private/protected, which violates TypeScript's constraint that exported class properties must be public. Changed drawHorizontalPill, drawVerticalPill, and parseLength to public methods. Also renamed stylex-pill.template.ts to stylex-pill.ts to match the build configuration and removed unused PaintRenderingContext2D type.
- Remove unused SUPPORTS_RULE import from panda-pill.ts - Remove unused width and height variables from pill-shape.test.ts Fixes ESLint no-unused-vars violations.

Removed invalid import of 'css' function from panda-pill module (which only exports a preset) and refactored component to use simple utility classes matching the pattern used in PillTailwindDemo and PillStyleXDemo. This aligns all three demo components to the same structure and allows the website to build successfully.
…t size - Remove --pill-width, --pill-height CSS variables (Paint API provides size automatically) - Remove --pill-radius CSS variable (calculate as min(width, height) / 2 in worklet) - Keep only --pill-squircle-amt for optional transition smoothness control - Replace size-based utilities (sm, md, lg, xl) with single squircle-pill utility - Keep side-specific variants (t, r, b, l, tl, tr, etc.) - Update Tailwind, Panda, and StyleX integrations to match new simpler API - Add pill-test.html demo page with local examples A pill is mathematically defined and has no size variants - only the single pill utility with optional side modifiers makes sense.
Keep the minimal local test HTML file in repo, but exclude from deployment.
Add self-contained test page for pill shape utilities. File demonstrates different pill shapes, aspect ratios, and use cases without depending on built assets or external hosting.

The pill worklet never painted: the dev page loaded ./dist/pill-shape.worklet.js, but the build emits .mjs, so Vite's SPA fallback answered with text/html and addModule failed on a MIME mismatch. Nothing registered, leaving only the base rule's border-radius: 50% — an ellipse on any non-square box. Fixing the load exposed three more defects: - border-radius: 50% sat in the base rule, clipping the painted shape back into an ellipse even once the worklet ran. The same 50% shipped in the tailwind-pill fallback, where a pill wants a fully-rounded radius. - The outline was not a pill. Its "G2 transition" beziers put control points inside the box, bowing the straight edges inward, and the vertical caps swept the wrong way, cutting a diagonal across the shape. - ctx.fillStyle = "currentColor" cannot resolve inside a worklet, so every shape painted black. The element's colour now arrives via inputProperties. The caps are now circular arcs spanning 180 - 2*beta, joined to the flat edges by a clothoid whose curvature falls from 1/R to 0, so curvature is continuous rather than jumping at the tangent point. Two custom properties steer it: --pill-squircle-amt sets how much of the cap is handed to the easing, and --pill-ease-falloff stretches that easing along the flat edge without spending more of the arc. Both are fitted to the element, so a square renders as a plain circle. Also: the worklet loads from src/ in dev and a plugin forces a full reload on edit (a registered paint worklet can never be hot-swapped), and the package exported ./dist/pill-shape.worklet.js, a file the build never produced. The existing pill tests asserted expect(true).toBe(true) and could not even import the module — registerPaint is undefined outside a worklet — which is why all of this shipped. That call is now guarded, and the new geometry suite measures the emitted outline: cap circularity, the curvature ramp, the amt = 1 stadium degenerate case, and box fitting across amounts and aspect ratios. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A pill too narrow for the requested easing has to give something up, and fitting surrendered the amount alone. What reads as a smooth transition is the rate curvature changes, |dk/ds| * R^2 = (falloff - 1) / (falloff * beta), so spending beta alone drives that rate up like 1 / beta: at amt 4 and falloff 6 a 60px-tall pill went from 0.80 at 600px wide to 16.59 at 75px, which looks abruptly cornered even though it is still formally G2. Fitting now holds that rate fixed instead, pinning the falloff to whatever beta survives via falloff = 1 / (1 - rate * beta). That returns the requested pair when it fits and eases both down together when it does not, holding the measured rate flat from 600px to 110px where it previously climbed 3.7x. Once the falloff bottoms out at the clothoid the rate does rise again, on the way to the bare semicircle a square has no choice but to be. A falloff already at 2 has nothing to trade, so the default is untouched. Separately, the outline was sampled at a fixed 24 vertices per transition, spread evenly by arc length. A high falloff piles all of the curvature into the start of the transition, which is then the most starved: the polyline turned 12.16 degrees in one segment where it leaves the arc, drifting 0.4px off the curve on a 200px-tall pill. Vertices are now placed where the chord would otherwise drift, bounding ds * dphi / 8, which more than halves the worst turn and holds the error at 0.03px while using fewer points down the near-straight tail. The dev page's falloff slider spans 0 to 10 and reports the effective value when the worklet clamps it, and its "Square" example had no fixed size, so it was never square and never demonstrated the collapse to a circle. Tests measure the curvature rate and the arrival angle at the flat edge rather than raw differences between samples, which are no longer evenly spaced. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The floor of 2 hid the very behaviour it was guarding against, so the requested falloff is now used as given. Below 2 the transition shortens and arrives ever more steeply — measured arrival angles at amt 4 run 61.7, 6.3, 1.6 and 0.2 degrees for falloffs of 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 — and at 0 it has no length at all, leaving the arc to meet the flat edge at a corner. 2 remains the default and the sane floor for real use. Two things had to be guarded for those values to render rather than produce NaN: a falloff of 0 gives the transition zero length, and the rate-preserving trade divides by (falloff - 1) / falloff, which is undefined at 0 and negative below 1. The trade now only applies above the clothoid, where there is headroom to give up; at or below it the requested falloff passes through untouched and the amount absorbs the shortfall. Negative exponents stay out of bounds because u ** q diverges at u = 0. Tests cover the low range: arrival angle rises monotonically as the falloff drops, a falloff of 0 is a genuine corner, and every falloff from 0 to 20 stays finite and inside the box across four aspect ratios. The G2 continuity suite is retitled to claim only what it checks — continuity at or above the clothoid. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
… at 0 "Falloff" named the curvature exponent, not what the control does. What you feel when you move it is the join into the flat edge being smoothed further along that edge, which is what lets --pill-squircle-amt come back down, so it is now --pill-ease-spread. The exposed value is also rebased to sit at 0 rather than 2: the spread offsets the exponent, q = spread + 2, so 0 is the clothoid and the default, and the old floor of 2 is now simply 0. Negative values still reach the degenerate end — -1 never decays the curvature and -2 leaves a bare corner — so nothing that was explorable stops being explorable. The geometry is unchanged: spreads of 0, 1, 2 and 4 reproduce the old falloffs of 2, 3, 4 and 6 to the digit. Internally the quantity is just the curvature exponent, so it is named that throughout rather than carrying the old word into places it never described. BREAKING CHANGE: --pill-ease-falloff is now --pill-ease-spread, and its values are 2 lower. A falloff of 6 becomes a spread of 4; the default falloff of 2 becomes a spread of 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A spread of 1 reads as a softer join than the bare clothoid without noticeably flattening the cap, so it makes a better starting point than 0. The amount stays at 2. squircle-pill.css never registered --pill-ease-spread at all, so the shipped stylesheet had no initial value for it and the worklet's own fallback was the only default. It is registered alongside the other pill properties now. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
On a pill the cap is the whole shape, so reshaping it with a superellipse changes the silhouette rather than softening a corner — it reads as more wrong than a plain stadium. Without the paint worklet the utility and the stylesheet now set border-radius and nothing else. Both fallbacks were also gated on `@supports (corner-shape: superellipse()) and not (background-image: paint(pill-shape))`, so a browser supporting neither feature — exactly the browser the fallback exists for — matched nothing and got a rectangle. The guard is now only the absence of the worklet. The radius stays 9999px rather than the package's calc(infinity * 1px): this branch is the one running in browsers old enough that the infinity keyword may not parse, and an invalid radius would leave the rectangle it is meant to prevent. That leaves the plugin's amtVar option controlling nothing — the worklet reads --pill-squircle-amt through inputProperties, which cannot be renamed — so it is removed rather than left as a no-op. The pill plugin had no CSS tests at all; it now has six, covering the paint branch, the fallback radius, and the absence of corner-shape, superellipse and percentage radii. BREAKING CHANGE: the squircle-pill plugin no longer accepts amtVar / amt-var. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both the utility and the stylesheet now use the same calc(infinity * 1px) the -full utilities use, matching Tailwind's rounded-full, rather than a hardcoded 9999px. The dev page's stand-in fallback follows. The plugin test no longer asserts on the stray `data-squircle-pill` declaration in the compiled output; pinning invalid CSS is not worth a test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
… declaration The plugin emitted `data-squircle-pill: ""`, which compiled to the declaration `data-squircle-pill: ;`. No stylesheet can set an attribute, so it was inert: it could never make squircle-pill.css's `[data-squircle-pill]` rules match an element carrying only the class. The two delivery paths documented in the README were never actually connected. Rather than try to bridge them — the class name is configurable, so the stylesheet cannot select it — the utility now carries what it needs. It registers the properties the worklet reads, via addBase, with initial values matching the worklet's own fallbacks, and sets the min-width/min-height the stylesheet was applying. squircle-pill.css keeps its attribute selectors for use without Tailwind. Importing both is still fine; the registrations are identical. The same audit turned up more dead plumbing: --pill-radius, --pill-width and --pill-height were registered and assigned but are not in the worklet's inputProperties at all, left over from the paint function this rewrite replaced. They are gone, and the registrations that remain sit outside @supports, since whether a property is worth registering has nothing to do with paint support. The initial values and property names now come from variants.ts so the plugin and the stylesheet cannot drift. The worklet keeps its own copies rather than importing them — a paint worklet's module graph is not a place to take risks — and a test holds the two together. pill-shape.test.ts asserted that a literal array contained its own members and exercised a parseLength that no longer exists; it was also the only thing naming the dead properties. It is now a contract test: the worklet reads exactly the properties it declares, the stylesheet registers all of them and nothing else, assigns nothing it does not read, leaves --pill-fill unregistered so the fall back to `color` still fires, and starts them where the worklet's fallbacks do. Reintroducing --pill-width fails it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The worklet painted the pill as a background-image, which covered whatever background the element already had. The README's own example — a `squircle-pill` with `bg-blue-500 text-white` — therefore rendered a blue rectangle with a white pill painted on top of it. The shape is now applied as a mask instead. The element keeps its own background — a colour, a gradient, an image, anything — and that background is what gets pill-shaped. Verified against all three. A mask erases everything outside the shape, so this comes with real limits, and they are platform facts rather than choices: - `border` becomes a rectangle clipped to the pill. The worklet now draws one instead, on ::after in a new stroke mode, via --pill-border-width and --pill-border-color. The stroke straddles the path and the element's own mask clips its outer half, which leaves an exact inset band. - `outline` and `box-shadow` are painted outside the box and vanish. `filter` is applied before the mask, so even `drop-shadow` set on the element shadows the unmasked rectangle and is then clipped away. A shadow has to go on a wrapper, where it applies to the already-masked result. Confirmed working. - All three keep working on the no-worklet fallback, which is a border-radius the platform understands. The worklet no longer reads `color` or `--pill-fill`. Only the alpha channel matters to a mask, the element's background supplies the colour, and reading `color` meant `color: transparent` would erase the element entirely. BREAKING CHANGE: the pill is masked rather than painted. Elements relying on the worklet to supply their colour need a background instead, and --pill-fill is gone. Use --pill-border-width/--pill-border-color for a border, and put filter: drop-shadow() on a wrapper for a shadow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds a section covering what the mask does and does not allow: linear, conic and image backgrounds, a drawn border with and without a fill, inner and outer outlines, inner and drop shadows, and one pill combining them. Each is the technique that actually works, since `outline` and an outer `box-shadow` cannot survive the mask and `filter` runs before it: - inner shadow — an inset shadow on a stadium-radius pseudo, trimmed to the exact pill by the mask - inner outline — the pseudo is a smaller box, so the worklet strokes the pill of that box, giving a ring inset from the edge - outer outline — a masked wrapper one ring-width larger, in the ring colour - drop shadow — on a wrapper, where the filter applies to the already-masked result rather than the raw rectangle Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
An inset ring came out flattened along the top and bottom. The stroke is centred on the outline, so half its width falls outside, and that half was being cut off by the edge of the paint canvas rather than by the shape. The outline runs along the canvas boundary on the flat edges, where the overspill was therefore trimmed, but curves inward through the caps, where it was not — so the band lost half its width on the straight sections and kept all of it around the ends. Stroke mode now clips to the outline before stroking, which lays an even inset band whatever the shape. The border on ::after looked right only because it is inset: 0 and the element's own mask happened to trim the overspill for it; it no longer depends on that, and renders identically. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Where a Tailwind border utility exposes a variable, read it rather than asking for a second source of truth. `border-dashed` and friends set `--tw-border-style`, so the drawn ring now picks its dash pattern up from that, and `border-none`/`border-hidden` suppress it entirely — matching what those keywords do to a real border. Width and colour have no such variable, since those utilities set border-width/border-color directly. The worklet keeps its own vocabulary — it reads --pill-border-style — and the Tailwind layer maps --tw-border-style onto it, so the worklet stays free of any framework's naming. Tailwind registers that property as non-inheriting, so the bridge needs an explicit `inherit` to pull the element's value onto the ring. The contract test that catches dead plumbing now also accepts a property the sheet feeds into one the worklet reads, which is what a bridge looks like. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…n border Adds an opt-in plugin, @klinking/squircle/tailwind-pill-border, so a pill's drawn border can be spelled with Tailwind's own border utilities instead of a second set of names. It registers the `border` root again rather than overriding it. Tailwind does not treat that as a replacement — it emits a second rule alongside its own — so `border-2` keeps setting `border-width` and additionally sets `--pill-border-width`. Nothing here restates what a border utility means, which is what should keep it working when those utilities change. It also never has to decide whether `border-red-500` is a width or a colour: a functional utility only matches values it was given, so widths and colours register separately and anything unrecognised falls through untouched. Values come from the theme, so arbitrary and bare values are covered without enumerating them. The rules are scoped with `&:is(.squircle-pill)`, which keeps border utilities behaving normally elsewhere and lifts specificity enough to suppress the real border's paint on pills without depending on rule order. The width still counts toward layout, which correctly reserves room for the drawn ring. Panda CSS and StyleX are out of scope for the MVP. Their adapters and website demos are removed here and preserved on pill/panda-stylex-adapters; issue #39 tracks bringing them up to the current rendering model, which they predate. BREAKING CHANGE: @klinking/squircle/panda-pill and @klinking/squircle/stylex-pill are no longer published. The pill feature is Tailwind-only for now; see #39.

…t build time `--pill-border-width` and friends are the kind of names a design system is likely to have taken already, so every custom property the pill owns is now prefixed: `--klinking-pill-border-style`, `--klinking-pill-squircle-amt`, and so on for the six of them. The prefix is fixed when the package is built rather than when it is used. The worklet names the properties it reads in `inputProperties`, a static list read once at registration, so there is no per-element or per-consumer hook to rename them through — which is also why the plugin's old `amtVar` option could never have worked for pills. Set `squircle.cssNamespace` in package.json and the worklet, the plugins and the stylesheet all follow from that one value. It lives in package.json rather than an environment variable because `vp run` does not forward arbitrary variables to the commands it spawns: an env knob read the default in every task while appearing to work when a script was run directly. A file is also an input the task cache can see, so changing it rebuilds. The define has to be repeated under `pack`, which does not inherit the top-level one — without that the token survived into dist/ and the plugin silently fell back to reading the environment at the consumer's build time, where it could disagree with the worklet. The tests reference the exported names rather than literals, so they hold whatever the namespace is, and a new one asserts that everything the worklet reads and the stylesheet registers carries the prefix. BREAKING CHANGE: the pill custom properties are renamed. `--pill-squircle-amt` becomes `--klinking-pill-squircle-amt`, and likewise for --pill-ease-spread, --pill-stroke-width, --pill-border-width, --pill-border-color and --pill-border-style. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…rVar The package already documented a `--squircle-` prefix, so the namespace now defaults to that rather than inventing a second one. `--squircle-amt` and `--squircle-r` are unchanged; they simply come from the namespace now instead of being spelled out. The pill properties join them as `--squircle-pill-amt`, `--squircle-pill-border-width` and so on, dropping the doubled word that `--squircle-pill-squircle-amt` would have been. SQUIRCLE_CSS_NAMESPACE renames all of them together. It does reach the build: tasks declare the variables they consume in `env`, which forwards them and folds them into the cache key — an undeclared variable is stripped from task processes, which is why it appeared to do nothing before. `squircle.cssNamespace` in package.json stays as the committed default for a fork that wants one. amtVar and rVar are deprecated but unchanged in behaviour, and still take precedence over the namespace. They predate it and only ever reached the utilities the plugins emit, never the paint worklet, which names the properties it reads in a static inputProperties list — the same reason the pill plugin's copy of the option had to go. Panda's rVar defaulted to a hardcoded "--squircle-r" and now follows the namespace like every other reference. The dev page no longer hardcodes the prefix: a token in the HTML is replaced with the configured value when the page is served. BREAKING CHANGE: the pill custom properties are renamed again, now to --squircle-pill-*. --klinking-pill-squircle-amt becomes --squircle-pill-amt, and likewise for ease-spread, stroke-width, border-width, border-color and border-style. --squircle-amt and --squircle-r are unaffected.
