# Dependency graph
requires:
  - phase: 01-foundation
    provides: "Vite + SolidJS + Tailwind v4 build pipeline, App.css with Tailwind import"
provides:
  - "Two-tier CSS custom property token system (primitives --hh-raw-* and semantics --hh-*)"
  - "Tailwind v4 @theme inline registration for utility class generation (bg-primary, text-secondary, font-mono, etc.)"
  - "Fontsource-bundled Fira Code (400-700) and Share Tech (400) with zero CDN dependency"
  - "Glow effect tokens with interaction-state intensity scaling"
  - "Surface transparency tiers and transition/spacing/radius tokens"
  - "Static data-theme='cyberpunk' attribute for FOUC prevention"
affects: [02-02, 03-component-library, 04-animation-engine, 05-window-system]

# Phase 2 Plan 1: Design Token Foundation Summary

**Two-tier CSS custom property token system with primitives/semantics split, Tailwind v4 @theme inline registration, and Fontsource font bundling for cyberpunk theme**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 3 min
- **Started:** 2026-02-27T23:08:00Z
- **Completed:** 2026-02-27T23:10:32Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files modified:** 10

## Accomplishments
- Built complete two-tier CSS token architecture: 45+ primitive tokens (colors, neutrals, gradients) aliased through 17 semantic color tokens
- Registered all semantic tokens with Tailwind v4 via @theme inline for utility class generation (bg-primary, text-secondary, font-mono, etc.)
- Installed and bundled Fira Code (4 weights) and Share Tech (1 weight) via Fontsource with zero external CDN dependency
- Created glow effect tokens with 5-step blur scale, 3-step spread scale, and 4-tier interaction-state intensity multipliers
- Added surface transparency tiers, transition durations, border radii, and spacing scale tokens
- Set static data-theme="cyberpunk" on HTML element and color-scheme meta for FOUC prevention

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Install Fontsource packages and create font import module** - `aeacd1a` (feat)
2. **Task 2: Create the four token CSS files and theme entry point** - `7542334` (feat)

## Files Created/Modified
- `src/theme/primitives.css` - Raw color values (cyan, magenta, red, lime, green palettes), neutral gray scale, void gradient stops
- `src/theme/semantic.css` - Semantic aliases mapping to primitives, @theme inline Tailwind registration, cyberpunk theme definition
- `src/theme/typography.css` - Font family tokens, 8-step type scale, line heights, font weights, letter spacing
- `src/theme/effects.css` - Glow blur/spread/intensity tokens, surface transparency tiers, transition durations, border radii, spacing scale
- `src/theme/index.css` - Theme entry point importing all token files in dependency order
- `src/theme/fonts.ts` - Fontsource side-effect imports for Fira Code (400-700) and Share Tech (400)
- `src/App.css` - Updated to import theme after Tailwind, replaced hardcoded values with token references
- `src/index.html` - Added data-theme="cyberpunk", color-scheme meta, inline background for flash prevention
- `src/index.tsx` - Added fonts.ts import before App.css
- `package.json` - Added @fontsource/fira-code and @fontsource/share-tech dependencies

## Decisions Made
- Token prefix convention: `--hh-raw-*` for primitives (never used directly by components), `--hh-*` for semantics (component-facing)
- Font stack: Fira Code monospace for body text and code (cyberpunk terminal aesthetic), Share Tech sans for display headings
- Glow intensity follows interaction hierarchy: default(0.3) < focus(0.45) < hover(0.65) < active(0.9) for restrained premium feel
- Import order enforces dependency chain: primitives -> effects -> typography -> semantic

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

None.

## User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness
- All design tokens available as CSS custom properties under :root and [data-theme="cyberpunk"]
- Tailwind utility classes (bg-primary, text-secondary, font-mono, font-display, etc.) ready for component usage
- Token infrastructure ready for Plan 02-02 (token audit and visual verification)
- Future themes can override semantic tokens under alternative [data-theme] selectors

## Self-Check: PASSED

All 9 created/modified files verified on disk. Both task commits (aeacd1a, 7542334) found in git log. SUMMARY.md exists.
