Summary

Phase colour on the six lifecycle phase pages (Discover, Create, Build, Launch, Grow, Evolve) was computed in PHP or hardcoded directly into shared style files, tied to Discover specifically. Two consequences: the colour is lost entirely (renders black/white) the moment a pattern is flattened by the block editor, and every other phase's hero buttons and breadcrumb still show Discover's green regardless of which page they're on. Separately, patterns/sections/phase-services-in-phase.php selected its services list via get_queried_object() inside the pattern's own PHP, which only re-evaluates while the pattern stays a live wp:pattern reference — CodeRabbit flagged this on #64 as falling back to Discover's services once flattened.

Colour architecture

  • Added --ls-phase-accent and --ls-phase-accent-on-dark custom properties (src/scss/structural/phase-journey-nav.scss), set per phase via the existing page-slug-{phase} body class (inc/phase-page-body-class.php), with a fallback from a phase's own -on-dark token to its normal token (only phase.discover-on-dark exists today).
  • Colour is resolved by CSS on every request instead of being computed in PHP or baked into a pattern's stored content, so it cannot break on flatten.
  • styles/blocks/buttons/button-phase-primary.json, button-phase-outline.json, src/scss/structural/button-phase.scss, and src/scss/structural/phase-hero.scss were hardwired directly to phase.discover-on-dark — their own descriptions flagged this as known debt "once a second phase page needs this style." Swapped all four to read var(--ls-phase-accent-on-dark), fixing hero button and breadcrumb colour on every phase page but Discover.

Phase services dynamic block

Investigated but not changed

The remaining phase-page sections (introduction, common-services, support-focus, deliverables-and-role, CTA, FAQ, where-to-go-next) are still authored with Discover-specific copy on Build/Launch/Grow/Evolve, and Discover/Create's own page content is independently maintained per-page rather than shared. Bringing those in line is content work tracked separately on LSA-132, not a code change this PR should carry.

Scope and exclusions

  • Compiled assets/css/*.css files are generated output from the touched .scss sources — included in the diff but not separately reviewable.
  • Per-page content for the five phase sections not yet using this block (see above) is out of scope here.

Screenshots/video

Visual change (breadcrumb and hero button colour). Verified manually via browser screenshots during development on Create (now blue, matching its phase token) against Discover (unchanged, still green) — not attached to this PR body, see Test plan.

Accessibility notes

No new colours were introduced — this reuses the same phase colour tokens already in theme.json, just resolves them per-page instead of hardcoding one phase's value. A full WCAG 2.2 AA contrast re-check across all six phases' button/breadcrumb combinations has not been formally re-run (see Test plan).

Stack

Test plan

  • php -l clean on all changed/new PHP files
  • node -c clean on the new editor script
  • composer run phpcs (WordPress standard) clean on changed files (pre-existing unrelated warnings in functions.php's untouched commented block excluded)
  • npm run lint:json — all JSON valid
  • npm run patterns:escape clean on changed files
  • npm run security:scan clean on changed files
  • npm run build:css succeeds, compiled CSS matches source
  • Verified ls-theme/phase-services registers (WP_Block_Type_Registry) and renders the correct per-phase services with no PHP errors on Build/Launch/Grow/Evolve (live HTTP fetch against a local WP install)
  • Verified breadcrumb + hero button colour visually (screenshot) on Create (blue) vs Discover (unchanged, green) — no regression
  • Full six-page visual regression pass on breadcrumb/button colour (only Create + a Launch spot-check done, not all six)
  • Formal WCAG 2.2 AA contrast re-audit across all six phase colours

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added phase-specific service cards that display dynamically on each phase page.
  • Improvements
    • Updated phase-page accents, breadcrumbs, and buttons to use the appropriate colors across all six phases.
    • Phase service cards now reflect the current page when rendered, including when the section is reused or converted to standard page content.

Bug fix
- Add --ls-phase-accent and --ls-phase-accent-on-dark (phase-journey-nav.scss) so phase colour is resolved by CSS per page-slug body class instead of PHP or baked-in pattern content — fixes phase colour going black/white when a pattern is flattened by the editor
- Swap button-phase-primary.json, button-phase-outline.json, button-phase.scss, and phase-hero.scss off their hardcoded phase.discover-on-dark token onto var(--ls-phase-accent-on-dark), fixing hero button and breadcrumb colour on every phase page but Discover

New feature
- Add ls-theme/phase-services dynamic block (blocks/phase-services/) implementing CodeRabbit's requested fix on PR #64: resolves the current phase from block context at real render time instead of get_queried_object() inside pattern PHP, so the correct services survive the pattern being flattened
- Register the block and its editor-side ServerSideRender preview (inc/blocks.php, functions.php)

Cleanup
- Simplify patterns/sections/phase-services-in-phase.php to a static section shell referencing the new block

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The theme adds a dynamic Phase Services block that selects service cards from the current phase. Phase page styles define a shared on-dark accent property, which button and breadcrumb styles use instead of the Discover-specific color token.

Changes

Phase Services block

Layer / File(s) Summary
Block registration and editor preview
blocks/phase-services/block.json, functions.php, inc/blocks.php, blocks/phase-services/index.js
The theme registers the block, loads its editor script, and displays a server-rendered preview using the contextual post ID when available.
Phase services rendering
blocks/phase-services/render.php, patterns/sections/phase-services-in-phase.php, CHANGELOG.md
The render callback resolves the phase from the block context or queried object, defaults to Discover when no configured phase matches, and renders a heading and service cards. The pattern replaces its embedded rendering logic with the dynamic block. The changelog records the changes.

Phase-specific on-dark accent

Layer / File(s) Summary
Phase accent variable mapping
assets/css/phase-journey-nav.css, src/scss/structural/phase-journey-nav.scss
The six phase page body classes define --ls-phase-accent-on-dark using each phase’s on-dark color token and standard phase color as fallback.
Button and breadcrumb accent usage
assets/css/button-phase.css, assets/css/phase-hero.css, src/scss/structural/button-phase.scss, src/scss/structural/phase-hero.scss, styles/blocks/buttons/*, CHANGELOG.md
Button and breadcrumb styles use --ls-phase-accent-on-dark instead of the Discover-specific token. Button style descriptions document the shared property.

Comment thread blocks/phase-services/index.js
Bug fix
- Resolve post ID via get_the_ID() before get_queried_object_id()
- Keep block context postId as the first choice

Context
- ServerSideRender sends post_id to the REST block renderer
- That endpoint sets global post data but not block context postId
- REST requests have no queried object, so the phase fell back to Discover
- Front-end rendering is unchanged

Review
- Addresses CodeRabbit comment on PR #72

Review
- Follow-up to the CodeRabbit comment on PR #72
Hero colours
- Replace hardcoded phase.discover-on-dark in the hero pattern with var(--ls-phase-accent-on-dark)
- Covers pill border, pill background, dot, "Phase 0X" label and heading accent word

- Rebuild assets/css/phase-hero.css from phase-hero.scss

Cleanup
