- Create frontend/colors.mjs as SSOT for all design colors
- Create scripts/generate-css-vars.mjs to auto-generate CSS variables
- Update tailwind.config.ts to import colors from colors.mjs
- Update frontend/package.json: add 'generate-css-vars' script to build pipeline
- Update start_servers.py: include CSS variable generation before npm build
- All color changes now require only one edit in colors.mjs
- Build process auto-syncs CSS variables and Tailwind colors
Eliminates DRY violation where colors were duplicated in:
- tailwind.config.ts (Tailwind utility classes)
- globals.css (CSS custom properties)
Single source of truth approach ensures:
✓ No inconsistency between Tailwind and CSS variables
✓ One place to update colors for all contexts
✓ Automated CSS variable generation on every build
