feat(react-ui): editorial refresh with Nord palette and polished primitives - #9550
Merged
Conversation
…itives
Replaces the cool gray-blue theme with a deep Nord-inspired palette:
frost-cyan accent (#88c0d0) on deep blue-black surfaces (#13171f /
#1a1f2a / #242a36), snow-storm text scale, aurora status colours.
- Typography: Geist Variable + Geist Mono Variable (Google Fonts) with
ss01/ss03/cv11 stylistic alternates; strengthened h1-h6 hierarchy;
editorial negative tracking.
- Primitives: buttons gain depth (inset highlight + hover lift +
brightness filter); inputs become sunken wells with sage-swap-to-frost
focus rings; cards hover-lift and gain an .card--accent left-rail
variant; badges become mono caps rectangles with tabular-nums.
- Chrome: sidebar active state is now an inset left rail + tint
(no border-left); modals get popIn animation and proper shadow lift;
toasts carry an inset accent bar + slide-in instead of tinted fills;
operations bar breathes on active installs.
- Empty states: editorial pattern (eyebrow rule, large mono title,
52ch lede) that inherits gracefully even without page JSX edits.
- Chat: assistant bubbles drop the gray-nested-in-gray card for a
transparent pull-quote with a left border; user bubbles soften from
loud accent fill to a subtle frost tint.
- Motion: custom spring easing cubic-bezier(0.22,1,0.36,1), 180ms
standard; breathing/pulse/popIn keyframes; global prefers-reduced-
motion honoring.
- Radii tightened to 3/5/8/10px; warm-shadow tokens redone for cool
depth; ::selection, :focus-visible, kbd globals added.
- Migrated hardcoded 'JetBrains Mono' CSS literals to var(--font-mono)
so the Geist Mono swap lands everywhere.
Scope is intentionally tokens + primitives only. Page JSX and the
~1,800 inline style={{…}} instances are untouched and flagged as
follow-ups.

Follows up the editorial/Nord token refresh with a mechanical sweep of
page JSX and shared components so nothing bypasses the design system.
- Font family: replaced 80+ 'JetBrains Mono' / 'Space Grotesk' inline
literals (and the string-CSS variants in CollectionDetails and
AgentStatus) with var(--font-mono) / var(--font-sans). SVG <text>
nodes that used the attribute form were switched to style={{ }} so
the CSS variable resolves.
- Radii: every unquoted numeric borderRadius (2/3/4/10) is now a
var(--radius-*) token; 50% and 999px kept as computed shapes.
- Spacing: clean-token gaps and margins (4/8/16px) moved to
var(--spacing-xs/sm/md); padding: '4px 8px' and '8px 16px' lifted
into token pairs. Micro-values (2/6/10/12px) left inline where no
token maps cleanly.
- Colors: Talk.jsx button/canvas-surface hardcodes moved to
var(--color-*); FineTune.jsx chart series colours now use the
--color-data-* Nord palette (cyan/red/purple/orange instead of
tailwind hex); AgentStatus tool-call icon and error tag hex swapped
for var(--color-warning) / var(--color-text-inverse).
- CodeMirror editor (utils/cmTheme.js): both themes rebased on Nord —
polar-night surfaces and aurora syntax highlighting (dark), snow-
storm surfaces with darkened aurora (light). Caret/selection/active
line/search now frost-cyan tinted instead of legacy indigo/purple.
Legitimately dynamic styles (computed widths, per-row colours, canvas
2D context fill/stroke for waveform and spectrogram drawing) remain
inline — they can't be expressed as CSS tokens.
29 files, +237/-237 — identity preserved, semantics re-anchored to
the token system.
