adds custom css to themes alongside chat wallpaper controls. the theme editor previews css live; save, duplicate, import/export, reload, and server-published themes preserve it. switching themes or cancelling a draft restores the selected stylesheet. wallpaper keeps image import, opacity, blur, and text-shadow controls in settings → appearance.

verified in the web client: css preview, cancel, save, reload, switching away, keep-both import, a real codex response with wallpaper and css active, narrow layout, light/dark selectors, server-published css, and wallpaper loading with css active. blacksmith passed focused theme, timeline, settings, and server checks plus web/contracts typechecks and targeted lint. native electron shell and native mobile were not exercised; custom css applies to web/desktop only.

before: theme editor with palette controls

after: custom css changes the sidebar and button shapes

custom css preview and save, with idle time removed

wallpaper evidence from the existing pr, before the css integration:

wallpaper controls with opacity and blur changes

real codex conversation with wallpaper and expanded turn

model: gpt-6-astra. harness: codex.

final head bf3b0f677c: github checks complete, no unresolved review threads, two independent reviewers approved. total diff: 33 files (+1195/−124), compared with the original wallpaper pr: 19 files (+1035/−118).

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a substantial cross-cutting feature: whole-app custom CSS plus persistent chat wallpaper controls that alter theme bootstrapping, chat layout, scrolling, and rendering surfaces. It also adds new product defaults and reset behavior, so the scope and runtime impact warrant human review.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 98b08

Collapsed plans can obscure the configured wallpaper, and canceling an in-progress import does not stop its remaining image work. These are localized concerns that can be addressed with owner awareness.

In `@apps/desktop/src/settings/DesktopClientSettings.test.ts`:
- Around line 22-24: Update the persistence fixture’s timelineBackgroundImage,
timelineBackgroundOpacity, and timelineBackgroundBlur values to non-default
values, including a non-empty image, so serialization must preserve these fields
rather than allowing defaults to mask dropped data.

In `@apps/web/src/components/settings/TimelineBackgroundSettings.tsx`:
- Line 99: Update the wallpaper import flow around request.current and
compressImageForStash to create and propagate an AbortSignal through supported
compression stages, and abort it during editor cleanup. Ensure the new Image
probe, its event listeners, and the 15-second timeout are cleared on cleanup,
while cancellation exits silently without updating state or reporting an error.

In `@apps/web/src/index.css`:
- Line 279: Rework the declaration using the relevant CSS rule so its fallback
is placed in a valid top-level `@supports` block or otherwise reordered to satisfy
stylelint’s no-invalid-position-declaration rule, while preserving the existing
background fallback behavior.
