Nov 11, 2025
Patch

RC4 — logo lazy-load & favicon legibility.

Fixed the logo rendering race on Foundation pages and pushed a solid variant for sub-28px sizes after favicon rendering tests failed at 16px.

Fixed

  • LuminoMark no longer flashes on SSR hydrate when used above the fold
  • Favicon legibility at 16px (petals were bleeding — solid mode now kicks in automatically)
  • Portal left-rail: collapsed state now respects prefers-reduced-motion
  • Table: filter chip active state missing border in light mode
