Problem

Workspace-group header names in the sidebar render with the wrong color scheme whenever the group's anchor workspace is not the selected workspace: white text in light mode, black text in dark mode — unreadable either way. Only the group whose anchor is currently selected renders correctly.

SidebarWorkspaceGroupHeaderView styles the name with Color.primary.opacity(0.9) for the non-active branch, and that opacity-wrapped dynamic color resolves against the inverted appearance in the sidebar's hosting context. Plain Color.primary (the active branch) resolves correctly, which is why exactly one group header is readable at a time.

Reproduce on v0.64.22: create two or more workspace groups, select a workspace that is not a group anchor, toggle light/dark — every group header label renders in the opposite scheme's color. Not config-dependent: reproduces with and without sidebarAppearance tints, at any tintOpacity.

Fix

Resolve the label color explicitly from the view's own @Environment(\.colorScheme) via a new sidebarForegroundNSColor(opacity:colorScheme:) helper, keeping the existing 1.0 / 0.9 opacity distinction for active vs inactive anchors. Test added first (SidebarOrderingTests) requiring sidebar-scoped foreground colors.

Summary by cubic

Fixes unreadable sidebar group headers and metadata labels caused by colors resolving against the wrong appearance. Previously inactive items could render white in light mode and black in dark mode; now labels resolve at draw time against the current appearance, preserving 1.0/0.9 opacity and the active metadata color.

  • Add sidebar-scoped dynamic color: sidebarForegroundNSColor(opacity:) returns an NSColor that resolves per drawing appearance; remove Environment color-scheme plumbing.
  • Use it in SidebarWorkspaceGroupHeaderView, SidebarMetadataRows, and SidebarMetadataMarkdownBlocks; active metadata still uses activeSecondaryForegroundColor.
  • Tests assert white in darkAqua, black in aqua with expected alpha, and that a single color instance tracks mid-session appearance switches.
  • Reviewer sanity check: create 2+ groups, select a non-anchor, toggle light/dark during the session; headers and metadata remain readable without requiring a re-render.

Written for commit c95f9a4. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Sidebar text now uses a dynamic black or white NSColor based on the drawing appearance. Inactive text preserves its opacity, and tests cover appearance changes and opacity handling.

Changes

Sidebar color scheme support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dynamic foreground helper and coverage
Sources/Sidebar/SidebarAppearanceSupport.swift, cmuxTests/SidebarOrderingTests.swift
sidebarForegroundNSColor clamps opacity and resolves white in dark appearance or black in light appearance. Tests cover opacity preservation and appearance switching.
Sidebar text color integration
Sources/ContentView.swift, Sources/SidebarWorkspaceGroupHeaderView.swift
Sidebar buttons and workspace group headers use the helper for inactive text. Active text behavior remains unchanged.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c95f9

This localized change fixes sidebar label colors while preserving the existing opacity behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

P2 Avoid ambient foreground helper

The new sidebarForegroundNSColor policy is exposed as an internal top-level function and called across production views, expanding ambient API surface and allowing the SwiftUI foreground logic to drift from the scoped AppKit palette. Own this behavior on a constructable sidebar appearance or palette type instead.

Rule Used: Flag new ambient global state in production Swift:... (source)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Exercise the affected view hierarchy in the regression test.

These tests call sidebarForegroundNSColor directly with a supplied ColorScheme. They do not render SidebarWorkspaceGroupHeaderView, SidebarMetadataRows, or SidebarMetadataMarkdownBlocks. They also do not configure opposite app and sidebar appearances. A regression that removes the environment dependency or restores .secondary in a consumer would still pass. Add behavior-level coverage through the existing SwiftUI rendering harness.

As per coding guidelines: “When a user reports that tests missed a bug, add behavior-level coverage for the exact reproduction path before claiming the fix is complete.”

Include colorScheme in equality. SidebarWorkspaceGroupRowView applies .equatable() to the header. The header uses colorScheme to select black or white text, but == does not compare it. Include the effective color scheme in the equality inputs so appearance changes update the header.

.equatable() recomputes the header when the appearance scheme changes.

A mid-session system appearance switch left group-header and metadata
labels on the stale scheme (black-on-dark): the sidebar hosting context
does not reliably re-render on appearance changes, so a color captured
from the SwiftUI environment goes stale. Return a dynamicProvider
NSColor instead, resolved against the drawing appearance, and drop the
now-unused colorScheme plumbing. Regression test asserts one color
instance draws white under darkAqua and black under aqua.

Pushed a follow-up: the original fix captured the SwiftUI environment colorScheme, which goes stale when the system appearance switches mid-session (the sidebar hosting context does not reliably re-render on appearance changes) — labels ended up black-on-dark after a light→dark switch. sidebarForegroundNSColor now returns a dynamicProvider NSColor resolved against the drawing appearance at draw time, and the colorScheme parameter/plumbing is removed. Added a regression test asserting the same color instance resolves white under darkAqua and black under aqua.

Thank you for this, @ChristianNorth! Fixing the inverted group header labels is great. Two things: it now conflicts in SidebarAppearanceSupport.swift, and the ContentView change also recolors inactive metadata rows. Could you keep this to the group header, and check it on a sidebar that follows a translucent theme? :)

Thanks @ChristianNorth, the dynamic appearance color is a good fix. However, the header equality and view-level regression still need attention, and the Testbox broker guard is failing; push an update and we’ll run CI.
