Theme settings had a fragmented appearance flow and no durable way to browse terminal.sexy color schemes.

This adds a compact T3Code-style theme picker with:

  • System, Light, and Dark mode cards.
  • The original Aurral light and dark palettes.
  • Built-in and terminal.sexy schemes grouped by theme name, including paired light/dark variants.
  • A modal terminal.sexy search flow where selecting a result previews it temporarily and Add saves it.
  • Saved schemes appended to the main Themes list and persisted across reloads.
  • Updated theme bootstrap behavior, tests, and user documentation.

Verification:

  • npm test (670/670)
  • node --test .tests/frontend/theme.test.js .tests/frontend/terminal-sexy.test.js (10/10)
  • npm run lint --workspace frontend
  • npm run build --workspace frontend
  • git diff --check

Limitation:

  • No live browser visual pass was available in this worktree; the supplied reference was applied through the focused CSS implementation and the production build passed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR replaces the basic theme preference flow with a theme engine. It adds custom theme storage, light/dark/system modes, terminal.sexy catalog integration, live previews, theme installation, settings UI, startup initialization, tests, and documentation.

Changes

Theme management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Theme model and color processing
frontend/src/utils/theme.js, .tests/frontend/theme.test.js
Adds color parsing, palette generation, built-in Aurral themes, theme validation, serialization, and palette tests.
Theme persistence and runtime application
frontend/src/utils/theme.js, frontend/public/theme.js, frontend/src/main.jsx, .tests/frontend/theme.test.js
Adds custom theme storage, appearance resolution, CSS application, previews, cache invalidation, event listeners, startup initialization, and persistence tests.
terminal.sexy catalog and import flow
frontend/src/utils/terminalSexyThemes.js, .tests/frontend/terminal-sexy.test.js, .tests/frontend/theme.test.js
Adds catalog normalization, searching, bounded fetching, ANSI palette conversion, light/dark variant importing, and utility tests.
Theme settings interface
frontend/src/pages/Settings/components/ThemeSettings.jsx, frontend/src/pages/Settings/components/themeSettings.css, frontend/src/pages/Settings/components/SettingsAccountTab.jsx, .tests/frontend/theme-settings.test.js, docs/src/content/docs/using/overview.mdx
Adds theme mode controls, theme cards, previews, terminal.sexy search and installation, responsive styling, account-tab integration, source validation, and updated profile documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1ddb5

The new theme system adds persisted custom themes and remote catalog browsing, but the current version can leave the Themes view loading indefinitely when the catalog stalls, briefly show the wrong palette after reload, reset a separate appearance choice when deleting a theme, and mislabel featured remote schemes as built-in. These user-visible correctness and availability issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

442-449: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a cancel control to the preview note.

closeSearch keeps an active preview applied. The note at line 621 tells the user a preview is active, but it offers no way to revert. The only revert paths are selecting another theme card or reloading the page.

Add a small "Cancel preview" button next to the note that calls clearPreview.

59-82: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for the fetchJson failure paths.

The suite covers the happy path only. The guards in fetchJson carry the real regression risk: a non-ok response, a body that fails JSON.parse, and the 256 KB size cap. Each is testable with the same globalThis.fetch stub.

Also assert that loadTerminalSexyCatalog clears its cached promise after a failure, so a later call retries.

101-110: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Replace the O(n²) dedupe with a Set and stop at limit.

filter((scheme, index, all) => all.indexOf(scheme) === index) scans the full concatenated array for every element. The array holds roughly three times the group count, and the terminal.sexy index publishes on the order of a thousand scheme paths. The code discards all but limit entries afterwards. This work runs on the main thread while the Settings page mounts.

♻️ Proposed refactor
   const fallback = groups.filter((scheme) => scheme.sources.dark || scheme.appearance !== "light");
-  return [...preferred, ...fallback, ...groups].filter((scheme, index, all) => all.indexOf(scheme) === index).slice(0, limit);
+  const selected = [];
+  const seen = new Set();
+  for (const group of [...preferred, ...fallback, ...groups]) {
+    if (seen.has(group)) continue;
+    seen.add(group);
+    selected.push(group);
+    if (selected.length >= limit) break;
+  }
+  return selected;

- Around line 11-14: Update the bootstrap theme restoration logic around the
documentElement dataset assignments to read the normalized selected theme from
the aurralThemes:v1 storage entry and apply its --aurral-* palette variables
before first paint. Preserve system, light, and dark handling, and add a
cold-reload regression test covering a selected custom theme’s palette
application.

In `@frontend/src/pages/Settings/components/ThemeSettings.jsx`:
- Around line 537-542: Update handleRemove so removing the selected custom theme
changes only the theme selection while preserving the user's current appearance
mode; do not reset it to "system". Reuse the existing default theme identifier
instead of duplicating the literal "aurral".

In `@frontend/src/utils/terminalSexyThemes.js`:
- Around line 212-234: Update importTerminalSexyTheme to build grouped theme
variants from the scheme.sources keys (such as light and dark), preserving both
fetched themes even when parseTerminalSexyTheme reports the same measured
appearance; retain measured appearance selection for ungrouped single schemes.
- Around line 112-154: Update fetchJson and loadTerminalSexyCatalog to enforce a
request timeout using an AbortController-based, feature-compatible fallback
rather than unconditionally relying on AbortSignal.any. Ensure the timeout
aborts stalled requests, caller-provided cancellation remains effective, and the
shared catalogPromise is still cleared on failure so later loads can retry.
