/**
* Sana Canvas brand tokens for scoped `CanvasProvider` / popup forwarding.
* Values are `var()` references to Sana brand variables — not merged from `defaultCanvasTheme`.
*
* Mirrors only what Sana's stylesheet itself defines: the `neutral` ramp, the `A300` step of
* `primary`/`critical`/`caution`/`positive` (the one step Sana redefines for those families — a
* stronger alpha wash on the matching hue), and the four `system.color.brand.*` tokens Sana
* overrides. Every other key is intentionally omitted — Sana does not define a distinct value
* for it, so writing it here would only reference the very variable being written (a `var()`
* cycle that resolves to invalid, leaking the classic-theme fallback color instead of Sana's).
*
* `action.*` and `selected.*` are deliberately **not** set. Sana's stylesheet does not define
* `--cnvs-brand-action-*` or `--cnvs-sys-color-brand-fg-selected`/`-surface-selected`; those are
* derived downstream from the root theme. Forcing them here would pin values the root is meant
* to own.
*
* Ramp values must reference `base.*` (the underlying palette), never `brand.*` of the same
* name — CanvasProvider writes each entry onto the identically-named `--cnvs-brand-*` CSS
* variable, so referencing `brand.*` here would create that same self-reference cycle. The
* `system.color.brand.*` overrides are the exception: they target *different* CSS variables
* (`--cnvs-sys-color-brand-*`) than the `brand.*` values they reference, so no cycle.
*
* Note this preset only covers brand tokens. The rest of Sana (shape, depth, type, non-brand
* system colors) comes from the stylesheet's `[data-theme="sana-canvas"]` block — pass
* `data-theme` to `CanvasProvider` alongside this preset and it is forwarded to portaled popups
* so the full theme applies there too.

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.”

Update the CanvasProvider spec to begin with verifyComponent(CanvasProvider,
{}), and replace container.firstElementChild access with the component test
