Customer status pages, 6/6: themeable public page with a live preview

Theme (StatusPageTheme, stored per page in status_pages.theme and published in the snapshot)

  • Preset: default, mono, midnight or paper. Each defines a light and a dark token set.
  • Appearance: auto follows the visitor's light/dark preference; light and dark force one.
  • Overrides: accent, background, text, card, border (hex). In auto only the accent applies, because one background can't fit both modes. In light and dark all of them apply.
  • radius: none, sm, md or lg.
  • font: sans, serif or mono.
  • Status colours (operational, degraded, partial, major, maintenance) always come from the preset, so red always reads as an outage.

Safety and readability

  • The service lowercases and validates every value.
  • It rejects any theme whose text falls below WCAG AA (4.5:1) on the background or on cards, with a message such as "Text on the background has a contrast of 4.48:1; it needs at least 4.5:1."
  • The renderer re-checks the theme before any value reaches CSS. Out-of-schema values fall back to the defaults and every colour goes through safeColor, so even a corrupted snapshot can only emit known values.

Data: brand_color is replaced by theme. The migration adds the column, copies any valid brand_color into theme.accent, then drops the old column. In v2, theme replaces brand_color; create and update accept any subset of its fields.

Editor: Settings gets an Appearance section:

  • preset swatch cards;
  • an Auto/Light/Dark control;
  • colour fields, disabled in Auto, whose placeholders show the preset's colours;
  • corner and font selects;
  • an inline contrast warning that blocks saving.

Next to it, a live preview renders the real public page with the same @maple/status-page renderer the status Worker uses, in a script-less sandboxed iframe. It updates as you edit, and in Auto it has a preview-only Light/Dark toggle. The renderer adds about 7.5 KB gzipped to web, not counting effect and @maple/domain, which web already loads.

Tests

  • domain status-page: 24, covering preset resolution, overrides ignored in auto, and WCAG pairs (#777777 on white = 4.48:1, fails);
  • backend service and snapshot builder: 22, covering validation, lowercasing and contrast rejection;
  • api v2 status pages: 8; domain OpenAPI: 40;
  • renderer: 23, covering forced dark without the media query, radius and font, hostile values dropped, and auto ignoring overrides;
  • apps/status: 30;
  • web status pages: 39, covering Auto disabling the overrides, an unreadable pair blocking save, and the preview reflecting a changed accent;
  • db parity: 5.

Typecheck is clean across domain, db, backend, status-page, apps/status, api, ai, web and the alchemy stack. oxlint and oxfmt are clean, and knip adds nothing.

Screenshots (renderer output and the editor via a lab page; not yet on a live preview, see below)

Editor, Midnight dark

Contrast warning

Not preview-tested: five open PRs already hold preview labels and the shared Tinybird workspace is at its branch limit, so a preview for this PR would fail at "Create/refresh Tinybird PR branch". The rest of the stack was tested live on #1932's preview.

Stack: #1927 → #1928 → #1929 → #1930 → #1932 → #1938.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Customize status-page appearance with themes, light or dark modes, color options, corner styles, and fonts.
    • Preview appearance changes alongside settings before saving.
    • Status pages adapt to system light or dark mode when appearance is set to Auto.
  • Improvements
    • Theme settings preserve values that are not changed during partial updates.
    • Invalid colors and insufficient text contrast are flagged before saving; themes that fail contrast requirements are also rejected when saved.
    • Existing status pages without theme settings use a standard default theme.

Walkthrough

Status pages now use a structured theme instead of a single brand color. Theme values flow through the API, database, snapshots, and renderer. The editor adds theme controls, validation, and a sandboxed live preview.

Changes: Status-page theme

Layer / File(s) Summary
Theme model and API contract
packages/domain/src/status-page.ts, packages/domain/src/status-page.test.ts, packages/domain/src/http/status-pages.ts, packages/domain/src/http/v2/status-pages.ts
The domain defines theme presets, resolution, and contrast checks. API schemas expose full themes and partial create/update parameters. Older snapshots without a theme decode with the default.
Theme persistence and page lifecycle
packages/db/src/tables/status-pages.ts, packages/db/drizzle/*, packages/backend/src/services/status-pages/*, apps/api/src/routes/v2/status-pages.http.ts, apps/api/src/routes/v2/status-pages.http.test.ts, apps/web/src/page/alerts/status-pages/test-pages.ts
The database stores a JSONB theme and the migration copies valid legacy colors into the accent. The service validates and normalizes themes; API create and update paths merge supplied values with defaults or current values. Records, snapshots, and responses carry the theme.
Theme rendering and preview snapshots
packages/status-page/src/*, apps/web/package.json
The renderer sanitizes and resolves themes into CSS variables and theme-based styles. A preview snapshot helper builds component statuses and history from draft data and incidents.
Editor theme state and validation
apps/web/src/page/alerts/status-pages/editor/form.ts, form.test.ts, message.ts, model.ts, update-settings.ts, update.ts, editor.scene.test.ts
The editor stores theme fields in settings, normalizes and validates colors, checks contrast, and submits theme data. Page and incident fetch completions also refresh the editor clock.
Appearance controls and live preview
apps/web/src/page/alerts/status-pages/editor/view-appearance.ts, view-settings.ts, view-incidents.ts, editor.scene.test.ts
The settings view adds preset, appearance, color, radius, and font controls alongside a sandboxed preview. The preview uses draft values and supports light or dark selection for Auto appearance.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Preview test: themes set in the dashboard reach the live page

Run on the preview:web deploy (pr-1938) by a separate agent with no context from this work. It drove the dashboard with headless Playwright, then read computed styles off the public page served by the status Worker.

# Step Result
1 Created a page with two components and a published incident; Publish now PASS: create, components, incident and publish all 200
2 Default + Auto: public page for a light and a dark visitor PASS: #fff/#0a0a0a vs #0a0a0a/#ededed
3 Midnight + Dark + accent #a5b4fc, viewed by a light-scheme visitor PASS: still dark (rgb(11,16,32)), accent on links
4 Paper + Light + serif + large corners, viewed by a dark-scheme visitor PASS: light paper background, serif stack, 14px card radius
5 Mono + Light with custom background, text, card and border, no corners, mono font PASS: every override in the computed styles, radius 0
6 Text #777777 on #ffffff PASS: "contrast of 4.48:1; it needs at least 4.5:1", Save disabled, a forced click sent no PATCH
7 Auto: colour fields disabled, preview Light/Dark toggle PASS: the toggle changed only the preview, no unsaved-changes bar
8 GET /v2/status_pages/{id} PASS: theme returned with the saved values
9 Hostile values (red;}body{display:none, url(...), bad preset or font) through the UI and the API PASS: inline error in the UI, every API attempt 400, nothing saved

Fixed after the run (6c0a0cffc):

  • Unreadable accent. An accent saved on Midnight carried over to Paper and rendered links at 1.88:1. The accent now applies only in a mode where it reads at 4.5:1 on that background, and falls back to the text colour elsewhere. In Auto that usually means one of the two modes.
  • Light-preset status text below AA. On the light presets (Default, Mono, Paper), operational, degraded and partial text was below 4.5:1 (degraded was 3.05:1 on Default). Those shades are darker now, and a test checks every preset's status colours against its background and cards.
  • Future-dated relative times in the editor. The editor read the clock once, so times could read "in 1m". It now re-reads the clock on every fresh page or incident load.
  • Duplicate id in the incident dialog. The Title input shared its id with the dialog heading; the input has its own id now.

…cing brand_color

StatusPageTheme (preset, appearance, colour overrides, radius, font) with a pure resolver to
CSS tokens and a WCAG AA contrast check. The migration carries brand_color into theme.accent.
Create and update take a theme: hex colours lower-cased, unreadable text refused with the
contrast ratio. The snapshot publishes it, and v2 replaces brand_color with a theme object
whose omitted fields keep their current values.
…the editor

baseStyles takes the resolved theme: one forced token set or both behind the media query,
radius on cards, banners and bars, the font stack on body. Every value is re-checked
before it reaches CSS. previewSnapshot builds a snapshot from editor data.
Preset cards, a Light/Dark/Auto mode, colour overrides (disabled in Auto), corners and font,
all in the settings draft and save bar. Unreadable text shows its contrast and blocks the
save. A sandboxed iframe renders the public page from the draft, with a preview-only mode
toggle for Auto pages.
…a card or background that washes out status labels is refused

Maple review

🟡 Confidence 6/10 · needs attention. Held at 6 because a correctness warning is open.
2 warnings −2 · 1 note · tests covered · risk high −1 · 4 defects fixed in earlier rounds

Replaces brand_color with a full page theme (preset, appearance, hex overrides, radius, font), validated to WCAG AA, and adds an Appearance editor with a live preview of the real public page. The card-contrast and partial-PATCH defects from the earlier review are fixed and pinned by tests; safe to merge.

["F6", "F7"]

  • theme replaces brand_color in the table, v2 API and snapshot, with a decoding default for old snapshots
  • themeContrastIssue refuses text or status colours under 4.5:1 on the background and cards
  • StatusPagesService.update merges a partial theme under a FOR UPDATE row lock
  • The editor renders the public page in a script-less sandbox="" iframe

@maple-review-bot F6 and F7 are fixed in 6241ed0, as your own summary says, but they are still listed as open. F6: themeContrastIssue in packages/domain/src/status-page.ts now checks the status colours against the resolved background and card at 4.5:1 (test: "flags a card that keeps text readable but washes out the status labels"). F7: the PATCH passes the partial theme to StatusPagesService.update, which merges it onto the row read FOR UPDATE inside the transaction (test: "merges partial theme edits onto the stored theme, so two edits keep both fields"). Please mark both fixed. F2 (preview rebuild per keystroke) is won't fix for this stack: the editor in #1950 replaces this view.

@maple-review-bot

You're right on both — I re-read the code at 6241ed0 and they are fixed.

F6 — fixed. themeContrastIssue now checks every status colour against both surfaces:

// packages/domain/src/status-page.ts:425
const statusRatio = Math.min(
    ...STATUS_COLOR_TOKENS.flatMap((key) => [
        contrastRatio(tokens[key], tokens.bg),
        contrastRatio(tokens[key], tokens.card),
    ]),
)

That is the right pair: .status{font-size:14px;color:var(--c)} (packages/status-page/src/styles.ts:52) paints the status colour as label text. It runs per token set from visibleThemeTokens (status-page.ts:415), so the dark-mode twin is covered under appearance: "auto", and validateTheme refuses the theme at the API (StatusPagesService.ts:310-312). Pinned by packages/domain/src/status-page.test.ts:472.

F7 — fixed. The route passes the partial theme through (apps/api/src/routes/v2/status-pages.http.ts:228) and the merge happens on the row read under lock inside the transaction, with no earlier read feeding it:

// packages/backend/src/services/status-pages/StatusPagesService.ts:677
const current = yield* findPage(db, orgId, pageId, { lock: patch.theme !== undefined })
const theme = patch.theme === undefined
    ? undefined
    : yield* validateTheme({ ...current.theme, ...patch.theme })

findPage runs query.forUpdate() when lock is set (StatusPagesService.ts:445-446), so the stale-read window is gone. StatusPagesService.test.ts:134 runs both updates concurrently and asserts preset === "mono" and radius === "lg" both survive.

F2 — agreed, won't fix. #1950 carries 6260928 ("the status page is its own editor") and 14af37e ("drop the Alerts hub's Status pages tab and the old status page modules"), so editor/view-appearance.ts doesn't outlive this stack. Not worth optimising now.

No findings remain open on this PR.
