Theme Editor P1 - PR Review Fixes Plan

Issues to Address (14 Comments)

1. ✅ PreviewBridge - Duplicate Inspector Logic (Comment #2808070449)

Issue: Both PreviewBridge and InspectorOverlay handle inspector mode, causing duplicate messages and inconsistent cleanup
Fix: Remove inspector-specific logic from PreviewBridge, make InspectorOverlay the sole owner

2. ✅ InspectorOverlay - Unused Imports (Comment #2808070455)

Issue: Unused imports: X, cn, SectionId
Fix: Remove unused imports

3. ✅ Theme Settings Panel - Unused Helpers/Imports (Comment #2808070456)

Issue: Old color scheme helpers and imports still present after switching to new selectors
Fix: Remove unused applyScheme, isSchemeActive, and related imports

4. ✅ Editor Layout - Skip Links Position (Comment #2808070457)

Issue: Skip links rendered after main UI, not first in tab order
Fix: Move AccessibilityEnhancements to the top of layout, before EditorToolbar

5. ✅ Accessibility Enhancements - Skip Link Targets (Comment #2808070460)

Issue: Skip link targets don't have matching DOM IDs
Fix: Add real DOM id attributes and tabIndex={-1} to targets

6. ✅ Accessibility Enhancements - Modal Focus Management (Comment #2808070464)

Issue: Shortcuts dialog doesn't trap focus or manage focus properly
Fix: Use shadcn Dialog component instead of custom div role="dialog"

7. ✅ Accessibility Enhancements - Skip Link Class Toggle (Comment #2808070468)

Issue: Per-button onFocus/onBlur class toggling causes confusion
Fix: Remove per-button class toggling, rely on container :focus-within

8. ✅ Add Section Modal - Unused Imports (Comment #2808070472)

Issue: Unused imports: Label, Plus
Fix: Remove unused imports

9. ✅ InspectorOverlay - Positioning Bug (Comment #2808070474)

Issue: Fixed positioning with scrollY offset misplaces overlay
Fix: Remove scrollY/scrollX offsets for fixed positioning

10. ✅ Add Section Modal - Grid Columns Mismatch (Comment #2808070480)

Issue: grid-cols-6 but 7 tab triggers (All + 6 categories)
Fix: Change to grid-cols-7

11. ✅ Color Scheme Selector - Unused Import (Comment #2808070487)

Issue: Button imported but not used
Fix: Remove unused import

12. ✅ Quick Reference - Export Name Mismatches (Comment #2808070496)

Issue: Documentation references wrong export names
Fix: Update to use correct exports: COLOR_SCHEMES, TYPOGRAPHY_PRESETS, actual types

13. ✅ Implementation Doc - Placeholders and Mismatches (Comment #2808070506)

Issue: Placeholders and incorrect scheme names
Fix: Update with real implementation details

14. ✅ Typography - Heading Scale Math (Comment #2808070516)

Issue: Scale calculation produces unrealistic sizes (137px for h1)
Fix: Center scale around base size with proper exponents

Implementation Strategy

  1. Fix all unused imports (quick wins)
  2. Fix positioning and DOM structure issues
  3. Refactor inspector logic to single owner
  4. Fix accessibility focus management
  5. Update documentation to match implementation
  6. Verify all fixes with type-check and lint

Expected Outcome

  • All 14 PR review comments addressed
  • Zero unused imports/variables
  • Proper accessibility patterns
  • Correct documentation
  • Clean build and type-check

<issue_title>[Milestone] Theme Editor: P1 (User Workflows & UX Polish) Implementation</issue_title>
<issue_description>Parent Epic: #235


Objective

Implement all P1 (User workflows and UX polish) items for the Shopify-style Theme Editor. Reference the documentation folder, subfolder images and supporting docs. Use sub-agents and MCP tool automation throughout.


Tasks

  • Viewport Switching: Toolbar toggles (Desktop/Tablet/Mobile); responsive preview.
  • Inspector Mode: Click-to-edit section/component in preview; drill-down settings in right panel.
  • Enhanced Theme & Typography Systems: Color/font presets, expanded heading/typography options.
  • Section/Template Registry: Central config for registering and filtering available sections.
  • Accessibility & ARIA: Ensure ARIA/WCAG, skip links, keyboard navigation, semantic labeling.
  • Reference all relevant documentation and images in /docs/shopify-theme-editor-ui-ux (and subfolders).

Verification

  • Unit/integration tests, Playwright for inspector/viewport, accessibility review
  • Visual: compare changes with /docs/shopify-theme-editor-ui-ux/*.png

/cc #235 – All tasks to utilize sub-agents and automation. Docs/images folder</issue_description>

<agent_instructions>Review the whole repository codebase across API, DB Schema and UI. Perform online research for latest docs and best practices and utilize all the available sub-agents and all automation supports (along with skills, instructions, prompts) and make sure to use MCP best practice fetch for Next.js 16 and shadcn patterns and for bowser automation testing playwright</agent_instructions>

Pull request overview

Implements P1 milestone features for the Shopify-style Theme Editor by adding preset-driven theme customization, a registry-backed “Add Section” workflow, and an inspector/a11y layer across the editor + preview iframe.

Changes:

  • Added preset libraries for color schemes and typography, plus UI selectors to apply them in the theme settings panel.
  • Added a centralized section registry and updated the “Add Section” modal to support search/category filtering + disabled states.
  • Added inspector overlay rendering in the preview iframe and introduced global editor accessibility enhancements (skip links + shortcuts UI), along with supporting documentation.

PreviewBridge now renders <InspectorOverlay />, but it still maintains its own inspectorMode state and registers inspector-related click handling/body class toggling earlier in the file. InspectorOverlay also implements inspector click/keyboard handlers and toggles the same body class, so running both can cause duplicate STORMCOM_SELECT_SECTION messages and inconsistent cleanup. Consider making InspectorOverlay the sole owner of inspector interactions (and remove the inspector-specific logic/state from PreviewBridge), or pass the state down so behavior is centralized.

After switching to ColorSchemeSelector/TypographyPresetSelector, this file still keeps the old color-scheme helpers (applyScheme, isSchemeActive) and imports (DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEMES, Check, Type, Separator, Slider, Badge, TypographySettings, etc.) that are no longer referenced. Please remove the unused helpers/imports to avoid confusion and keep the panel implementation aligned with the new selectors.

Skip links are meant to be the first focusable elements in the page’s tab order, but AccessibilityEnhancements is rendered after the main editor UI. This defeats the purpose of bypass blocks for keyboard users. Move the skip-links markup to the top of the layout (e.g., before EditorToolbar) so it’s encountered first in DOM order.

The skip-link handler looks up targets by DOM id, but the targets referenced (editor-toolbar, editor-sidebar, preview-pane) don’t exist as actual element ids (ResizablePanel’s id prop is not a DOM id, and there’s no id="editor-toolbar" in the app). As a result, getElementById will often return null and the skip links won’t work. Add real DOM elements with matching ids and make them programmatically focusable (e.g., tabIndex={-1}) before calling .focus().

TabsList is set to grid-cols-6, but you render 7 tab triggers ("All" + 6 categories). This will either overflow or wrap unpredictably. Update the grid column count (or use a scrollable tab list) so the tab layout matches the number of triggers.

The quick reference snippets don’t align with the actual exports/behavior in this PR: it points to DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEMES (which exists but is the 3-scheme set in defaults.ts), while the new 8-scheme P1 presets are exported as COLOR_SCHEMES/COLOR_CATEGORIES; and it references DEFAULT_TYPOGRAPHY_PRESETS (not exported) and SectionMetadata (not exported). Please update the examples to use the real exported names/types so the doc is copy/paste correct for the P1 feature set.

This doc still contains placeholders and mismatches with the actual code in this PR (e.g., Related Issue: #[Issue Number] and the listed color schemes/typography pairings don’t match COLOR_SCHEMES / TYPOGRAPHY_PRESETS).

calculateHeadingSizes() uses exponents 5→1 and sets h6 equal to the base font size, which makes headings explode for typical scales (e.g., base 18 & scale 1.5 yields ~137px for h1). This also doesn’t match the example outputs in the PR description/docs (where h4 equals base and lower headings are smaller than base). Consider adjusting the scale math (e.g., center the scale around the base size) so the slider range produces realistic heading sizes and stays consistent with the documented examples.
