Restore Comprehensive CSS Architecture Documentation

Overview

This PR restores the comprehensive CSS architecture documentation that was accidentally removed in a previous commit. The documentation is crucial for maintaining consistency and understanding of our CSS architecture.

Changes

Documentation Restoration

  • Restored css-architecture.md with detailed documentation about:
    • Three-layer CSS architecture
    • File structure and responsibilities
    • CSS cascade flow
    • Variable naming strategy
    • Conflict prevention rules
    • Testing strategy
    • Common pitfalls and solutions
    • Debugging techniques
    • Maintenance checklist

CSS File Updates

  • Restored comment blocks in:
    • theme.css: Documentation of its role as the dynamic bridge between DaisyUI and Shadcn
    • globals.css: Documentation of its role as the foundation and safety net

Technical Details

CSS Architecture Layers

  1. Foundation Layer (globals.css)

    • Sets up Tailwind CSS
    • Defines static fallback values
    • Establishes base CSS variables
  2. Theme Layer (theme.css)

    • Maps DaisyUI variables to Shadcn names
    • Handles light/dark mode switching
    • Provides dynamic theme values
  3. Component Layer

    • Uses variables from both layers
    • Implements component-specific styles
    • Maintains consistent theming

Variable Naming Strategy

  • Clear hierarchy in variable names
  • Consistent prefixing for different types
  • Proper fallback values for each variable

Impact

This restoration ensures:

  • Clear understanding of our CSS architecture
  • Consistent variable naming and usage
  • Proper documentation of the three-layer system
  • Better maintainability for future developers

Testing

  • Documentation is properly formatted
  • All CSS files maintain their original functionality
  • No breaking changes to the existing CSS architecture
  • Variable naming conventions are consistent
  • Fallback values are properly documented

Related Issues
