--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.

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.
