ksmithandClaude Sonnet 5 dddda19238 Show a live mockup mapping each custom theme field to the real UI
The 12 color pickers (Background, Sidebar background, Surface, Border,
etc.) gave no indication of what each one actually affects without
trial and error. Adds a miniature, self-contained mockup of the real
chat UI above the picker grid -- a sidebar with room rows, a message
with an avatar/mention/role badge, a composer, a danger button -- styled
from inline styles bound to the draft colors (not the --ds-* custom
properties, since those reflect whatever theme is currently active, not
necessarily the one being edited).

Hovering or focusing either a color input or its matching element in
the mockup highlights both, using a fixed amber outline that stays
visible regardless of the theme's own palette -- makes the mapping
between the 12 fields and where they actually show up immediately
obvious in either direction, without needing to activate the theme and
go look around the rest of the app.

DS Chat frontend (Phase 1)

React + Vite PWA. Login, room list, and chat views wired to the backend's REST API and /ws/chat WebSocket endpoint. See ../README.md and ../backend/README.md for full local setup.

Dev

npm install
npm run dev

The dev server proxies /api and /ws to http://localhost:8000 (see vite.config.ts), so the backend must be running for anything beyond the login page to work.

Build

npm run build

Generates the PWA manifest and service worker via vite-plugin-pwa into dist/.
