perf(frontend): stop theme switches from janking the whole page
Two inherited-custom-property transitions were forcing a full style
recalculation on every animation frame during a theme switch:

- html transitioned --color-ice/--page-accent-glow (inherits: true),
  both read by dozens of selectors site-wide (buttons, links, glows,
  color-mix() gradients) -- animating them recomputed style for every
  element that references them, across the whole page, not just the
  swatch that was clicked.
- .lv-gui (the ClickGui replica used in ThemeStrip, HudPlayground, the
  login backdrop and the theme editor panel) transitioned 21 inherited
  custom properties at once, including per-row/per-tab ones
  (--gui-row-*, --gui-tab-*, --gui-menu-*) -- with a long module list
  that's the same cost multiplied by every row/tab in the tree.

Both now snap instantly instead of transitioning; .lv-gui keeps a
300ms cross-fade but only on the ~8 properties that read as "the
theme" (window/header/stroke/text/accent/panel), not per-row state.

LoVisual Website

The frontend for LoVisual - a marketing site with a live in-game GUI demo, download page, documentation, themes/showcase pages, and an account dashboard with a cloud config manager. UI is fully bilingual (Russian default, English toggle, persisted in the URL).

Stack

  • React 19 + TypeScript + Vite, package manager: bun
  • Tailwind CSS v4 with custom design tokens (radii, glass panels, control sizing)
  • TanStack Query for backend calls, react-router for pages
  • react-i18next - ru/en resources per feature, compile-time key parity via satisfies
  • motion/react for animation, vitest + Testing Library for tests
  • oxlint for linting

Layout

src/
├── app/         router, providers, App shell
├── features/    one folder per domain (account, cloud, demo, themes, ...)
│   └── <f>/     api.ts · i18n/{ru,en}.ts · components/ · tests/
├── pages/       route-level pages composing features
├── shared/      ui primitives, i18n bootstrap, easter eggs, helpers
└── test/        vitest setup and utilities

Feature-folder rules: API calls, translations and components live together; no cross-feature imports except through shared/.

Scripts

bun install        # install dependencies
bun run dev        # dev server on http://localhost:5173 (proxies /api to the backend)
bun run test       # vitest run
bun run build      # tsc -b + vite build → dist/
bun run lint       # oxlint
bun run gen:themes # regenerate theme tokens from the mod palette (scripts/extract-themes.ts)

The dev server expects the Rust gateway on 127.0.0.1:8080 (see backend/); without it, API-backed pages degrade to demo/offline states by design.

Testing

Unit and component tests are colocated in features/*/tests/ and shared/**/tests/; run a single file with bunx vitest run src/features/account/tests/account.test.tsx. Translation parity (ru ↔ en key sets) is enforced at compile time and in tests.
