Fix editor text and selection visibility

[baanish]

Summary

• use Pierre's concrete default themes for the editable CodeView so edited TextMate tokens keep visible colors
• keep the existing CSS-variable theme unchanged for read-only viewer surfaces
• add light/dark browser regressions for edited text color, real multiline mouse selection, replacement, undo, link regeneration, and reshared preview

Demo

Working editor flow: visible typing → multiline selection → replacement → undo → reshare preview

Final reshared preview

Verification

• npm run lint
• npm run typecheck
• CI=1 npx playwright test tests/e2e/viewer.spec.ts --project=chromium --project=webkit --workers=2 --retries=0 — 68 passed
• demo video and final preview inspected for visible text, selection, undo, and reshared output

Environment note

• The full Vitest command was not green in this Node 26 orb: the optional better-sqlite3 package was unavailable and Node 26's experimental localStorage caused unrelated existing theme/self-hosted failures. The repository CI runs Node 24.

Note

Low Risk
Scoped to editable CodeView theming and e2e tests; read-only diff/code rendering still uses the existing agent-render theme.

Overview
Fixes invisible edited syntax tokens and missing selection highlights in the artifact body editor by wiring CodeView to Pierre’s DEFAULT_THEMES (light/dark via themeType) instead of the shared agent-render Shiki/CSS-variable theme.

The edit runtime reads raw TextMate colors, so the viewer theme’s CSS placeholders went transparent after typing and never defined a selection color. Read-only Pierre surfaces are unchanged—they still load pierre-theme through pierre-react.

The pierre-edit seam now re-exports DEFAULT_THEMES and no longer pulls in pierre-theme for the deferred editor chunk.

Adds light and dark Playwright coverage: computed rgb() token colors after edits, real pointer multiline selection with a non-transparent selection overlay, replacement + double undo, and regenerate-link preview of the edited markdown.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The editor now uses Pierre’s DEFAULT_THEMES instead of the shared "agent-render" theme. Documentation and comments define the theme split between editor and read-only surfaces. End-to-end tests cover editing and selection behavior in light and dark themes.

Changes

Theme-aware artifact editing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Concrete theme wiring src/lib/diff/pierre-edit.ts, src/components/viewer/artifact-body-editor.tsx, src/lib/diff/pierre-react.ts, docs/architecture.md	The shared Pierre module re-exports DEFAULT_THEMES. ArtifactBodyEditor passes these themes to the code view. Comments and architecture documentation describe agent-render as a read-only theme and concrete default themes as editor themes.
Themed editor end-to-end validation tests/e2e/viewer.spec.ts	Tests cover text colors, pointer selections, content replacement, link generation, and preview output for light and dark themes.

Summary

The PR separates editable and read-only Pierre theming so edited tokens and selections remain visible while existing viewer surfaces retain the repository’s CSS-variable theme.

• Uses Pierre’s concrete default themes for the deferred artifact editor.
• Keeps the agent-render theme registered for read-only code and diff surfaces.
• Adds light- and dark-mode browser coverage for editing, selection, undo, link regeneration, and preview.
• Updates architecture documentation to describe the theme boundary.
