* feat: let a collection name the attribute its modes switch by
Manually switched modes were always selected by data-<collection name>, so a collection called New wrote data-new and a codebase already using data-color-scheme could not be matched. A collection can now name its attribute in the inspector, validated so a stylesheet can select it as is. The stylesheet and exported code use it, setting it is undoable, and .fig files keep it in the collection's plugin data.
* fix: show the switch attribute only where there are modes to switch
* fix: return to the list after committing the switch attribute
* fix: keep a collection's switch attribute when a new one is refused
setModeAttribute cleared the attribute when given a name a stylesheet cannot select on; it now leaves the current one, and only an empty name restores the default. In the inspector, Enter on a refused name keeps the focus so it can be corrected.
* docs: describe the switch attribute in the mode conditions
The Switched manually row still said the attribute is named after the collection. The changelog had collected four copies of the variables dialog entry through rebases; one remains, with the switch attribute in it.
* feat: prototype the design tokens panel
Undoable editor actions for token fields and mode conditions, a token view model, and table, inspector, collection and stylesheet panels shown in a Storybook story with a real editor.
* feat: lay the tokens panel out for mobile
Below the mobile breakpoint the collection tabs become a select, the list shows one chosen mode with the CSS name under each token, and the token, the modes, and the stylesheet each open over the list behind Back. CodeViewer can fill its container for the full-screen stylesheet.
* feat: share drill-in navigation and put tokens on a listbox
PanelDrillIn gives detail views one back control that names where it returns, a slide preset from theme/motion, and focus that moves into the detail and back to what opened it. The Settings model editor and the tokens panel's mobile views use it. The token list is a Reka Listbox with arrow-key navigation and labelled groups, and the inspector and stylesheet swap with a short fade under the motion policy.
* feat: lay the tokens panel out by container width
The panel switches to the compact drill-in by its own measured width, and the list's columns follow the list's width through container queries, so the panel adapts inside dialogs and split views, not only on phones. src/AGENTS.md now says when to use container queries, measured size, and viewport breakpoints.
* test(core): group the variable undo tests in a domain folder
* feat: edit variables as tokens in the variables dialog
The variables dialog now hosts the tokens panel: a grouped token list with CSS names, an inspector for each token and for the collection and its modes, and the live stylesheet. It keeps adding variables by type, search, collection and mode management, and copying the document's stylesheet, and lays out by its own width down to phones.
useVariables().collections returns copies, so components given a collection see modes added or renamed in place, and addVariable returns the new ID so the panel can open it.
* fix: satisfy the type-aware lint in token updates and panel stories
* docs: describe the tokens panel in the translated variables guides
* feat: say when each mode applies in plain words
A mode's condition was a raw CSS field that designers could not read. Each non-default mode now picks when it applies (switched manually, system dark or light mode, high contrast, reduced motion, screen or container width, or custom CSS), with the CSS it writes shown underneath and a note on how the mode behaves on the canvas and in exported code. Presets only write the condition string modes already store, so files round-trip unchanged. Column headers name the condition in words, and deleting the collection moves into a menu beside its name.
* feat: bring the variables dialog up to Figma's
The dialog now covers what Figma's variables dialog offers: collections and groups in a sidebar with counts, a group, search and type filter, type icons, names and values edited in place, drag to reorder, multi-select with a context menu, the Delete key and a side panel to duplicate, group and delete, aliases chosen from a variable picker and detached back to the value they showed, hiding from publishing, and an expand toggle. It opens from View → Variables… and the command palette as well as the Design panel.
It also fixes review findings: a single-mode collection labels its value Value, column titles share one font, a CSS name is typed after a fixed -- and checked by the CSS parser before it is saved, and the stylesheet previews CSS with the format chosen when copying. AppInput applies an instance's input classes last so they can override adornment padding.
* feat: undo and redo inside the variables dialog
Canvas shortcuts stop while any dialog is open, so Cmd+Z did nothing in the variables dialog although every edit there is on the editor's history. Undo and redo now take a document scope: they also run when the topmost layer is a dialog that edits the document, which the variables dialog marks, while menus, pickers and Settings still hold them back and a field with uncommitted text keeps its own undo.
Enter commits a field and returns focus to the list. The panel drops selections, group filters and collections that undo removed. A color picker session undoes as one step through a coalesce key on updateVariableValue, and undoing a deletion puts the variable back in its place.
* feat: search variables like the command palette
The variables search matched a substring of the name only, so a CSS name, a hex color or a description found nothing, and the palette, AppPicker and AppCombobox each spelled out the same Fuse.js options. One helper in @open-pencil/vue now owns the matching: fuzzySearch ranks results for lists people pick from, and fuzzyFilter keeps a list's own order for lists people arrange. The panel searches names, CSS names, descriptions and every mode's value, alias names included; useVariables() searches names and descriptions.
* fix: say a token group once when its name repeats it
Kits that mirror Tailwind classes name tokens like Gap/gap-1, which derived --gap-gap-1. A group the next segment repeats is now said once, giving --gap-1.
* fix: keep the add variable menu under its button after a resize
The toolbar swaps the icon button for the labelled one when the dialog widens. Reka keeps the anchor it mounted with, so the menu opened at the window corner; keying the trigger remounts it with the new button.
* fix: leave bound layers alone when variables are added or reordered
Adding, copying, or reordering variables re-resolved every bound layer in the document. In the shadcn kit two Avatar instances are saved at 24 while their binding gives 40, so adding a number resized them and relaid out about 7,800 layers, freezing the browser for seconds. These changes alter no bound value and now only request a render, as renaming already did.
* refactor: let the variables dialog own its undo shortcuts
Undo and redo in the dialog went through a document scope in the global shortcut registry, which decided whether the dialog was on top by querying Reka's dismissable layers in DOM order. The dialog now listens on its own content with a tinykeys handler built from the command keybindings: menus and pickers it opens portal elsewhere, so their keys never reach it, and the registry is back to one scope.
* refactor: read mode conditions with css-tree
Presets were recognized by normalizing the condition with regular expressions and matching another. css-tree, which Core already ships through unifont, now parses the condition into its media or container feature, so spacing, case and comments are handled as CSS does, and a non-breaking space, which CSS does not treat as whitespace, no longer turns a custom condition into a preset.
* refactor: take the mode attribute hint from modeAttribute
The hint for a manually switched mode cut the brackets off its selector with a regular expression. It now reads the attribute name and value from modeAttribute, which the selector is built from.
* fix: keep a refused CSS name in focus and color picker sessions apart
Enter on a CSS name the parser refuses no longer hands the keyboard back to the list, so the name can be corrected. The typed name is read with parseCSSName instead of stripping a leading -- by hand, so a pasted var(--name) works too.
Each color picker session takes a random undo key; a counter restarted when the inspector remounted, so two sessions on the same token could merge into one undo step.
* fix: keep token expressions and cleared fields in step with their variable
Editing a number left its CSS expression recording the old number, so reopening the file dropped the expression as edited elsewhere. A number now updates its expression, and an alias drops it, in the same undo step.
Undoing a token field that had been unset kept the key with an undefined value; it is now removed.
* fix: preview and detach aliases in their own mode
An alias in the Dark column showed, and detached to, what its target gives in the mode the canvas is in. Both now resolve in the column's mode.
* fix: drop tokens a filter hides from the selection
A search, group, or type filter could hide selected tokens that stayed selected, so the inspector, the bulk actions, and the Delete key still acted on rows the list no longer showed.
* fix: keep a drill-in's list out of the tab order while its detail slides
The list stayed focusable until the detail finished sliding in, and became focusable again under a detail sliding out. It is now inert from the moment the detail opens and the departing detail is inert. A detail with no field focuses its back control, and hidden inputs are skipped.
* docs: drop a duplicated Stroke entry from the changelog
Two merges left the Stroke-extends-Fill breaking change twice; the copy that still said strokes render solid only is outdated, since gradient and image strokes now import and render.
