--dark command-line flag swaps CodexTheme.DefaultPalette to Dark
before any UI mounts; both TitleScreen and Wizard pick it up via
the no-arg Build() overload.
Stepper colours track the active palette. ApplyStateColors and the
Active step's gild underline previously read from a stub that
hardcoded parchment values, so the Active label rendered as
brown-black ink against the dark bg (invisible). Both sites now
read CodexTheme.DefaultPalette directly.
Card hover stays applied while the cursor is over an inner Button.
PanelContainer.MouseExited fires when the cursor crosses onto a
child that captures input (Sire/Dam toggles, Sheep/Goat toggles,
trait pickers); the recheck defers and uses GetGlobalRect.HasPoint
on the cursor position so hover only drops when the cursor truly
leaves the card area.
Selection stylebox lands on first refresh. SetSelected was
previously called inside BuildCard before AddChild, so
HasThemeStylebox returned false (theme cascade unreachable) and
the override silently dropped — it only re-attached when
MouseEntered later re-ran Apply. Refactored SetSelected/SetHover
through a new ApplyOrDefer helper that uses CallDeferred when the
card isn't in tree yet, so the seal border + drop shadow appear
immediately on selection rather than only after the first hover.
Selection drop shadow refined. Was a 14px shadow at offset (0,14)
which overlapped the next card by 16px in the v_separation:12
grid. Now offset (4,4) + size 6 — diagonal "light from upper-left"
direction, total reach 10px, leaves a 2px clearance before the
next card so the shadow reads as a shadow on the surface below.

StepSpecies hybrid mode now uses one grid combining sire-clade species
(under a "SIRE — <Clade>" eyebrow) and dam-clade species (under
"DAM — <Clade>"). Cards are click-to-select like the purebred path —
since clades are guaranteed disjoint by StepClade's parent-conflict
rule, the lineage is implicit from the species' clade and no per-card
toggles are needed.
Hover popover now picks up the codex theme: parchment Bg2 panel with a
gild border, rounded 14px corners, and soft drop shadow; H3 display
serif title, mono Eyebrow tag, CardBody description. Detriment popovers
swap to a 3px seal-red border via the panel_detriment stylebox override
(replaces the old red Modulate hack).
Theme propagation fix: CanvasLayer breaks Godot's Control theme
inheritance, so the popup was rendering on Godot defaults. _Ready
defers a lookup of the parent Control's theme and assigns it directly
to the popup so the codex parchment + Cormorant/CrimsonPro fonts
actually resolve.

Lights up the M5 codex design system across the wizard. Default
palette swaps from dark leather to aged-parchment cream with
sealing-wax red selection emphasis, matching the React prototype's
default theme variant. CodexTheme.Build() is applied at the wizard
root so every step + Aside + popover cascades through it.
Theme additions:
- Parchment palette in CodexPalette (Dark retained as alt)
- Type variations registered for Card, CodexPopover, Pill,
PillDetriment, AbilityToken, AbilitySlot, SkillRow — without
SetTypeVariation, panel-stylebox lookup falls through to Godot's
default dark slate, which is what was happening to every bare
PanelContainer before this pass.
- panel_hover stylebox on Card (gild border) wired via CodexCard's
MouseEntered/Exited helper; panel_selected bumped to 3px seal-red
border + soft shadow so selection reads at a glance.
Card selection refactor:
- Replaced the warm-cream Modulate hint on cards with stylebox swaps
via the new CodexCard.SetSelected helper. The Modulate approach
was a no-op on cream-on-cream parchment; the stylebox swap looks
the same on either palette.
- Step intros + Aside section headers now use the existing Eyebrow /
H2 / H3 / CardName / CardMeta / CardBody label variations.
- Confirm button on Step VIII uses the PrimaryButton variation.
Popover + chip behaviour:
- PopoverLayer is now MouseFilter=Ignore so clicks/scroll/hover all
pass through. Adjacent chips fire reliably even when the previous
popover overlaps them spatially.
- Dropped the 80ms grace timer; chip MouseExited closes immediately.
- TraitChip MouseFilter Stop → Pass so clicks bubble up to the
parent card's GuiInput (selecting the card).
Misc:
- Wizard._Ready inserts a backing Panel so the parchment Bg fills
the canvas — Wizard root is a plain Control, which paints nothing.
- CodexTheme font lookup tries Cormorant-Medium before -Regular and
globalizes res://Fonts/ for runtime FontFile load (the previous
fallback used ContentPaths which points at a sibling data tree).
- StepStats final-score Label rendered at font_size 22 to match the
AbilityToken die.

Programmatic Theme builder + reusable popover and stepper widgets,
ported from CharacterCreator.zip's :root design tokens. Kitchen-sink
scene exercises every primitive for visual eyeballing.
CodexPalette.cs:
Color tokens lifted verbatim from the React prototype's `:root`
block (--bg, --ink, --gild, --seal, etc.). Variable names mirror
the CSS so the audit trail stays readable. Spacing locked at the
prototype's normal density (--gap=24, --pad=28, --radius=2).
Scope cut: only the Dark theme ships. The React prototype designed
Parchment, Dark, and Blood as switchable variations — user direction
during M5 is that only Dark (leather + candlelight) is wanted for
this game. Parchment/Blood code dropped, plan doc updated to match
(§1 goal #5, §4.5 UI map, §5 M5 scope, §10 resolved decisions #4).
No runtime theme switcher.
CodexTheme.Build():
Programmatically constructs a Godot Theme from CodexPalette.Dark
plus CodexSpacing/CodexType tokens. Configures Panel, Card,
CodexPopover styleboxes; Label variations for H1..H4, CodexTitle,
Eyebrow, Meta, ValidationOk/Error, CardName/Body/Meta, StepperNum/
Name; Button + PrimaryButton + GhostButton variants; LineEdit,
CheckBox, scrollbar styling.
Fonts: looks for CormorantGaramond / CrimsonPro / JetBrainsMono
TTFs in res://Fonts/ (or Content/Fonts/) and graceful-falls-back to
Godot defaults if missing. M5 ships with no fonts in repo; user can
drop them in later for typography parity with the React prototype.
CodexPopover.cs:
Hoverable text trigger + floating PanelContainer, mirrors
src/trait-hint.jsx. Viewport-clamps horizontally and vertically;
flips above the trigger if there's no room below; 80 ms grace
period when moving cursor from trigger to popover. Detriment
variant uses the seal-coloured stylebox. Future TraitName /
SkillChip / BonusPill widgets layer className differences on top.
CodexStepper.cs:
Roman-numeral horizontal stepper with Pending / Active / Complete /
Locked states. Active step gets a 2-px gild underline, Complete
shows a ✓ in seal-red, Locked shows ✕ + 0.45 modulate. Emits
StepClicked(int) for non-locked rows. M5 is decorative — M6 wires
the signal to the character-creation state machine.
KitchenSink.cs + Main.cs --codex-test:
Verification scene rendering every primitive (header, stepper,
buttons, inputs, cards, trait popovers). Clicks log to console.
Fonts default to Godot's Noto Sans until res://Fonts/ is populated.
Closes M5 of theriapolis-rpg-implementation-plan-godot-port.md.
Next: M6 (title + character creation).
