Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Sana theme now uses base-palette CSS variables, expanded neutral ramps, Sana-specific A300 status values, and forwarded system brand tokens. Providers forward data-theme values to popup containers. Types, tests, documentation, and examples were updated.

Changes

Sana theme token alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Palette contracts and variable mappings
modules/react/common/lib/theming/types.ts, modules/react/common/lib/theming/brandScope.ts
Brand ramp types and CSS variable mappings now support the A300 accent key and extended neutral alpha keys through A975.
Sana theme output and system forwarding
modules/react/common/lib/theming/sanaTheme.ts, modules/react/common/spec/sanaTheme.spec.ts
The Sana theme uses base-palette references, exposes the full neutral ramp and A300 status mappings, forwards four system brand tokens, and omits action and selected mappings.
Provider and popup theme propagation
modules/react/common/lib/CanvasProvider.tsx, modules/react/popup/lib/hooks/usePopupStack.ts, modules/react/common/spec/CanvasProvider.spec.tsx, modules/react/popup/spec/usePopupStack.spec.tsx
CanvasProvider resolves inherited data-theme values. usePopupStack applies the value to popup containers. Tests cover local, omitted, and nested-provider attributes.
Scoped Sana usage documentation
modules/react/common/stories/mdx/Theming.mdx, modules/react/common/stories/mdx/examples/SimplifiedSanaSetup.tsx
Documentation describes the required theme preset and data attribute. The example updates the popup contents and menu selection state.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3d627

The PR improves Sana theme portaling, but it can leave popups using stale Sana styling after the theme is cleared, and the updated example lacks an accessible name for its input. The associated test setup is also fragile, so these issues should be addressed before merging.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use the component test helper and avoid positional DOM access.

CanvasProvider is an element component. This test calls render directly and reads container.firstElementChild, which depends on wrapper position. Start the component spec with verifyComponent(CanvasProvider, {}), then target the forwarded element through the helper or a named query.

As per coding guidelines, “Start element-component specs with verifyComponent(Component, {})” and prefer semantic assertions over “DOM-structure or index assertions.”

…ample

Sana's selected Menu.Item/Menu.Option fg/surface colors were dropped when
reworking the theme to avoid var() self-reference cycles, silently regressing
portaled popups back to classic blue. Restore them via the neutral ramp
(no cycle risk, since they target different CSS variables). Also fix the
SimplifiedSanaSetup story's Menu.Option, which used `id` instead of `data-id`
so initialSelectedIds never matched, masked by a hardcoded aria-selected prop.

Additionally, replace hand-typed Sana CSS variable name strings with
canvas-tokens-web's own `base.sana` export to avoid drift.

Give TextInput an accessible name.

The example renders an interactive TextInput without a label or ARIA naming attribute. Add a visible label or aria-label.

As per coding guidelines, every interactive element must have an accessible name.

Proposed fix
-            <TextInput />
+            <TextInput aria-label="Example text input" />

Remove a stale data-theme attribute when the context value is cleared.

When themeAttribute changes from "sana-canvas" to undefined, this effect returns without removing the old attribute. The mounted popup container then continues to use the Sana scoped token stylesheet.

Use an explicit undefined check. Remove the attribute when no provider theme attribute exists. Add a transition test in modules/react/popup/spec/usePopupStack.spec.tsx.

Proposed fix
   React.useLayoutEffect(() => {
     const element = localRef.current;
