Let the admin choose one of eight colour profiles
Indigo (the default), Blue, Teal, Green, Amber, Rose and Violet in the
Vibrant style and Graphite in the Neutral style are generated from
config into the stylesheet. Admin settings opens with a colour profile
card: a swatch previews the profile on the page, and Save Settings
stores it as color_profile, which AppServiceProvider hands to the
package's resolver, so every page, mail and error page wears it. An
unknown profile is refused, and a saved one that disappears falls back
to indigo.

# Colour profiles
## Goal
An installation of SealShare can wear one of eight colour profiles instead of the single indigo
scheme. The admin picks the profile in Admin settings, previews it on the page while choosing, and
on Save it applies to everyone: signed-in users, recipients on the upload and download pages, the
Markdown mails and the error pages. Livewire Material learns colour profiles in general — any
application lists its own in config, the package generates them, switches between them before the
first paint and follows the active one everywhere it draws colour — and ships it as 1.1.0 before
SealShare tags 2.0.0.
## Context
**Livewire Material 1.0.1** (`../livewire-material`):
- `php artisan material:scheme {seed} --variant= --contrast= --success= --warning= --info= --output=`
(`src/Console/SchemeCommand.php`) runs `resources/node/scheme.mjs` (Google's
material-color-utilities, a 93 KB bundle) through Node and writes `resources/css/material-scheme.css`
`:root, [data-theme='light'] { color-scheme: light; --md-sys-color-*: … }` and
`[data-theme='dark'] { … }`, about 60 roles each — and `material-scheme.json`
(`{seed, variant, spec, contrast, light, dark}`).
- Every component and token reads only `--md-sys-color-*` (`resources/css/tokens/theme.css` maps them
to Tailwind colours). The package's own default is `resources/css/tokens/scheme.css` and `.json`.
- `<x-theme-script>` (in `<head>`, before `@vite`) writes `data-theme`, `data-theme-choice`,
`data-theme-key`, `data-rail`, `data-rail-key` on `<html>` before the first paint, and puts them
back after a `wire:navigate` swap (`onSwap`). `$store.theme` lives in `resources/js/theme.js`.
- `Support\Scheme::load()` / `light()` read `config('livewire-material.scheme')` (the JSON) merged over
the package default; the mail theme (`resources/views/mail/theme.blade.php`) and the fallback styles
of the error pages (`Support\ErrorPage::fallbackStyles()`) use it.
- Tests: `SchemeCommandTest` (runs Node), `TokensTest`, `MailThemeTest`, `ErrorPagesTest`,
`ShowcaseTest`, browser tests in three engines; CI on Gitea.
**SealShare:**
- One scheme, `#4f46e5` Vibrant (`.ai/rules/css.md` records the exact command).
- The production Docker image has no Node, so nothing can be generated at runtime.
- Settings → Appearance is the Light/Dark/System picker, stored per browser. All users are admins;
recipients are guests.
- `App\Livewire\Admin\AdminSettings` holds the settings in `Setting` (key/value) and saves them in
`saveSettings()` with one validation call; the form ends in "Save Settings". It uses `Toasts`.
- Octane: the application boots once per worker, so anything request-specific must be read per call.
## Decisions
- **The admin chooses, nobody else** — one profile for the whole installation; no per-user or
per-visitor choice. Light, dark and system stay each visitor's own, as now.
- **Ready-made profiles, no free colour** — generated ahead of time with `material:scheme` and shipped
in the CSS: correct from the first frame, no generator in the browser, mails and error pages can
follow.
- **Eight profiles, Vibrant style like today** — `indigo` Indigo `#4f46e5` (the default, today's),
`blue` Blue `#0b57d0`, `teal` Teal `#00897b`, `green` Green `#2e7d32`, `amber` Amber `#e8710a`,
`rose` Rose `#c2185b`, `violet` Violet `#6750a4`, all `vibrant`; `graphite` Graphite `#5f6368`
in the `neutral` style.
- **The mechanism is the package's, the profiles are the application's** — Livewire Material gets
`profiles` in its config; SealShare lists its eight in its published config. Other applications
define their own.
- **Swatch picker at the top of Admin settings, previewed live, applied on Save** — a "Colour
profile" card with one swatch per profile (primary, secondary and tertiary dots, the name, a check
on the chosen one); a click recolours the page at once; "Save Settings" stores it for everyone.
Leaving without saving shows the saved profile on the next page.
- **Profiles are keyed by `<html data-scheme>`** — the default profile also stands without the
attribute, so the stylesheet works before the head script runs and with an unknown name:
```css
:root, [data-theme='light'] { /* default, light */ }
[data-theme='dark'] { /* default, dark */ }
[data-scheme='teal'], [data-scheme='teal'][data-theme='light'] { /* teal, light */ }
[data-scheme='teal'][data-theme='dark'] { /* teal, dark */ }
```
A profile's two-attribute selectors outrank the default's single ones, and its one-attribute
selector comes later in the file than `:root`, so the order is part of the format.
- **The active profile is resolved on every use, never kept** — the application registers a resolver
once (`Scheme::resolveProfileUsing(fn (): ?string => …)`); the head script, the mail theme and the
error pages call it each time they draw. A name that is not a generated profile, or no resolver,
falls back to the JSON's `default` — the `profile` config (else the first profile) when the scheme
was generated. Nothing request-specific is
stored on a static, so Octane workers stay clean.
- **The JSON keeps its old top-level shape** — `light` and `dark` are still the default profile's
roles, beside `default` and `profiles.{name}.{label, seed, variant, spec, contrast, light, dark}`,
so a reader of the 1.0 format keeps working.
- **`material:scheme` with a seed is unchanged** — one scheme, as in 1.0. Without a seed it generates
every configured profile; without either it fails with a message naming both ways.
- **A `<x-scheme-picker>` component in the package** — native radios in a `radiogroup`, bound with
`wire:model` (or `x-model`), each labelled with the profile's name and its three colours from the
JSON; choosing one sets `<html data-scheme>` immediately (the preview). Errors for the bound property
show under it.
- **The showcase can preview every profile** — a profile menu in its app bar when profiles are
configured, recolouring the showcase without storing anything.
- **Release** — Livewire Material 1.1.0 (a feature), then SealShare's lock, all before 2.0.0.
SealShare's changelog lists it under 2.0.0 "Added".
## Out of scope
- A colour picker for any colour, extracting a colour from the logo, or per-profile contrast levels.
- Per-user or per-visitor profiles, or a profile switch outside Admin settings.
- Changing the website's colours (it stays indigo) or adding profile screenshots.
- New success/warning/info sources per profile — they stay the package defaults.
## Implementation steps
### Livewire Material 1.1.0 (`../livewire-material`)
1. **Config.** `config/livewire-material.php`: `'profiles' => []` (name ⇒ `label`, `seed`,
`variant`, optional `contrast`) and `'profile' => null` (the fallback name), documented in the
config comment beside `scheme`.
2. **Generator.** `SchemeCommand`: `seed` becomes optional. Without it, read `profiles`; for each
run `scheme.mjs` as today (validating seed, variant and contrast through the generator's own
errors), then write the stylesheet in the format under Decisions — the default profile (the
`profile` config, else the first) as the plain blocks, then every profile's blocks in config
order — and the JSON with `default`, `profiles` and the default's top-level `light`/`dark`. The
header comment names the command and says the profiles come from config. With neither a seed nor
profiles, fail naming both.
3. **Scheme.** `Support\Scheme`: `resolveProfileUsing(?Closure $resolver): void`,
`profiles(?string $path = null): array` (name ⇒ label and light/dark roles, from the JSON),
`profile(?string $path = null): ?string` (the resolver's answer if it names a profile in the
JSON, else `default` from the JSON, else null), and `load(?string $path = null, ?string $profile = null)`
returning that profile's roles merged over the package default (the active profile when
`$profile` is null; the top-level roles for a 1.0 file). `light()` follows, so the mail theme and
`ErrorPage::fallbackStyles()` draw the active profile without further change: the fallback's plain
`:root`/`[data-theme]` blocks carry that profile's roles, which is all a page without its build
needs. Every method reads the JSON on each call, as `load()` does today.
4. **Head script.** `<x-theme-script>`: when the JSON has profiles, write
`data-scheme="{active profile}"` on `<html>` with the others, and keep it through `onSwap`.
`$store.theme` gains `scheme` (read from the attribute) and `previewScheme(name)` (sets the
attribute, stores nothing).
5. **Picker.** `resources/views/components/scheme-picker.blade.php` as under Decisions: props
`label`, `hint`, `profiles` (default `Scheme::profiles()`), `name`; labels through `__()`. Each
swatch is a label around a visually hidden native radio, drawn with Tailwind utilities (a
`surface-container` tile, `outline` when checked, a check icon); its three dots are the only inline
styles — `background-color` from that profile's light roles, which `Scheme` has already checked
are `#rrggbb` — because they show another profile's colours than the page's. `x-on:change` calls
`$store.theme.previewScheme($event.target.value)`. With no profiles it renders nothing.
6. **Showcase.** A profile menu in `resources/views/showcase/layout.blade.php`'s app bar when profiles
exist, calling `previewScheme`; the colour section already reads the variables, so it follows.
`src/Showcase/Sections.php` gains the picker as an example (and the search index with it).
7. **Docs.** `resources/boost/skills/livewire-material-development/SKILL.md` (Colour scheme: profiles,
resolver, picker; the new component in Components), `resources/boost/guidelines/core.blade.php`
(one line), `README.md` (Colour scheme and Configuration).
8. **Release.** Verify in `.verify` (Feature + Browser in chrome, firefox, safari), push, watch CI,
tag `1.1.0`.
### SealShare
9. **Package.** `composer update nonameweb/livewire-material` to 1.1.0.
10. **Profiles.** `config/livewire-material.php`: the eight profiles under Decisions and
`'profile' => 'indigo'`. Run `php artisan material:scheme` to regenerate
`resources/css/material-scheme.css` and `.json`; `npm run build`. Update `.ai/rules/css.md`: the
scheme is regenerated with `php artisan material:scheme` from the profiles in config, never
hand-edited.
11. **Resolver.** `AppServiceProvider::boot()`: `Scheme::resolveProfileUsing(fn (): ?string => Setting::get('color_profile'))`.
12. **Admin settings.** `AdminSettings`: `public string $colorProfile`, mounted from
`Scheme::profile()`; validated with `Rule::in(array_keys(Scheme::profiles()))` in
`saveSettings()` — the profiles actually generated into the stylesheet, not merely listed in
config; saved with `Setting::set('color_profile', $this->colorProfile)`.
`admin-settings.blade.php`: a "Colour profile" card first in the form with
`<x-scheme-picker wire:model="colorProfile" :label="__('Colour profile')" />` and a hint that
the choice applies to every page, mail and error page after saving.
13. **Docs.** README features: "Colour Profiles — eight colour profiles, chosen by the admin".
CHANGELOG `2.0.0` "Added". `composer screenshots` again (the admin settings shot shows the new
card); the website's feature list gains the same line.
## Testing
**Package**
- `SchemeCommandTest`: with profiles configured and no seed, the JSON has `default` and every profile
with light and dark roles, top-level `light`/`dark` equal the default's; the stylesheet has the
default's plain blocks first and each profile's `[data-scheme='…']` blocks after, with its hexes;
a seed still writes the 1.0 format; neither fails with the message.
- `SchemeTest` (new, Feature): `profile()` follows a resolver naming a profile, falls back on an
unknown name, on no resolver and on a 1.0 file; `load()` returns the chosen profile's roles.
- `MailThemeTest`: the mail's primary is the resolved profile's. `ErrorPagesTest`: the fallback
styles carry the resolved profile's roles.
- Components: `<x-theme-script>` renders `data-scheme` for the resolved profile and none without
profiles; `<x-scheme-picker>` renders a radio per profile, checked from `wire:model`, with the
labels.
- Browser (three engines): `--md-sys-color-primary` on `<html>` is the profile's in light and in
dark, and the default's without the attribute; choosing a swatch changes it at once; the attribute
survives `wire:navigate`; the showcase menu previews a profile.
**SealShare**
- `AdminSettingsTest`: a valid profile is saved and a toast dispatched; an unknown one fails
validation and saves nothing.
- `ColourProfileTest` (new, Feature): a guest's upload page renders `data-scheme` from the saved
setting and the default without one; the reset-password mail uses the profile's primary.
- `tests/Browser/SealShareTest.php`: in Admin settings a swatch recolours the page before saving;
after Save and a reload, and on a guest's download page, the profile stays.
- `DesignLanguageTest` and `WebsiteTest` keep passing.
## Risks and open questions
- **Stylesheet size.** Eight profiles × two themes × ~60 roles is about 60 KB before compression
(a few KB gzipped); acceptable, and the CSS stays cacheable.
- **A query per page for the setting.** `Setting::get('color_profile')` runs when the head script
renders, like the site title already does; cache it later if it ever shows.
- **Swatch colours are inline styles.** The design guard does not look at `style` attributes, so
nothing stops them spreading; they stay inside `<x-scheme-picker>` and come only from `Scheme`'s
checked hexes, which the component test asserts.
- **A profile removed from config** while saved leaves the setting pointing nowhere; the resolver's
fallback to the default covers it, and Admin settings shows the default as chosen.
- **Config and stylesheet out of step.** A profile added to config but not generated is not offered:
the picker, the resolver and the validation all read the generated JSON. `.ai/rules/css.md` says to
regenerate after changing profiles.
- **Open tabs** keep the profile they loaded (or previewed) until their next full load;
`wire:navigate` carries the page's current attribute forward.
- **Error pages without a build** use the fallback styles, which draw the active profile directly;
covered by `ErrorPagesTest`.
