• completely rebuilt the styling engine around explicit state and deterministic resolution - styling context (theme, brand, color) is now resolved in React and expressed directly on the DOM, eliminating implicit CSS inheritance and cascade-driven behavior

• replaced the previous context-based token layer with a simplified, scoped token system - CSS now acts as a pure rendering layer instead of a logic engine

• refined the color token system to align with the new architecture, improving consistency across themes, brands and surfaces while keeping behavior predictable and composable

• expanded the palette to support a wider and more expressive range of values within the new system constraints

• simplified component APIs by removing experimental and no-longer-needed props made obsolete by the new styling model

• improved internal styling performance, debuggability and development velocity through clearer separation of concerns and removal of redundant abstraction layers

• switched focus rings from box-shadow to outline to eliminate corner artifacts and ensure consistent rendering without layout shifts

• this release establishes a more predictable and explicit styling foundation for future components and features
