Introduce semantic theme variables (e.g. --color-success, --color-danger,
--color-warning, --color-info) and a set of overlay/tint/shadow variables
(--app-hover-tint, --app-raise-tint, --app-soft-tint, --app-overlay-shadow,
--app-menu-shadow, --app-float-shadow, etc.) and use them throughout
app.css in place of many hard-coded color, background and shadow values.
This change:
- replaces literal color tokens used for badges, pills, buttons, menus,
toasts, borders and file icons with the new semantic variables
- switches several box-shadow and overlay usages to the new shadow vars
- harmonizes light-theme surface, border and scrollbar values to explicit
variables for easier maintenance
No structural or behavioral changes; this is purely a visual/theming
refactor to make future theme adjustments and dark/light parity simpler.
Introduce a shared dialog header style (.unified-dialog-header) in app.css and opt dialog components into the new chrome by updating their header markup. Headers now use unified-dialog-icon and unified-dialog-text elements (and import the matching Lucide icons where needed), which standardizes icon placement, title/eyebrow layout, close button styling and responsive behavior. The Command Palette layout was adjusted to include the new header and its grid rows.
The CSS is explicitly opt-in (so page/section headers remain unchanged) and includes hover/focus styles and a theme-sensitive close color variable. This commit is a UI refactor only — no API or behavior logic changes.
Introduce a reusable SelectMenu component and replace native select
controls across the UI. This centralizes select behavior and styling,
enabling grouped options, placeholders, and a consistent popup
interaction. Add comprehensive CSS and light-theme tweaks, and update
rebase action styling to integrate the new control.
- Add a unified SelectMenu component and wire change handlers.
- Implement .select-menu styles, popup behavior, and theme overrides.
- Replace ad-hoc native selects in dialogs and rebase UI for consistency.
Adds a new external tools subsystem to detect and launch
diff and editor tools across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
It exposes data models for tools, commands, and results to the UI
and serializes them for consumption by the app.
- Implement cross-platform discovery of editors and diff tools
- Expose serialized results to the UI for user selection
- Centralize per-OS known tool lists and overrides
