Summary

On the six lifecycle phase pages, most section patterns still hardcoded Discover's colour: some inline (phase.discover in block attributes and styles), some through a $ls_phase_accent PHP variable set to Discover. So on Create/Build/Launch/Grow/Evolve the eyebrows, numbers, icons, bullets and borders stayed Discover green even though the nav, breadcrumb, buttons and hero already follow the phase (#72). This PR points those section patterns at the same per-phase CSS custom-property mechanism introduced in #72, and adds the light-surface counterpart that mechanism was missing.

New light-surface accent variable

  • Added --ls-phase-accent (the phase's normal, non--on-dark token) in src/scss/structural/phase-journey-nav.scss, set per phase via the existing page-slug-{phase} body class, next to --ls-phase-accent-on-dark. Comment updated to document when to use which.
  • assets/css/phase-journey-nav.css rebuilt from the SCSS.

Section patterns now following the phase

  • phase-introduction.php, phase-delivery-numbers.php: inline var(--wp--custom--color--phase--discover) → var(--ls-phase-accent).
  • phase-common-services.php, phase-support-focus.php, phase-deliverables-and-role.php, phase-where-to-go-next.php: $ls_phase_accent now 'var(--ls-phase-accent)'; the rest of each file already consumed that variable.
  • phase-cta.php: checklist bullet phase--discover-on-dark → var(--ls-phase-accent-on-dark) (this section sits on a permanently dark surface).

Investigated but not changed

  • phase-journey-nav.php, phase-services-in-phase.php and phase-faq.php already follow the phase through their own per-phase SCSS, so they are untouched.
  • Copy, "Phase 0X" labels, stats and links in these sections are still Discover content per page — content work tracked separately on LSA-132, not a code change here.
  • Pages whose stored content already contains a frozen (flattened) copy of the old markup will not pick this up until the pattern is re-inserted or the page is re-saved.

Scope and exclusions

  • assets/css/phase-journey-nav.css is generated output from the touched .scss source (1 line changed) and is excluded from the review count.
  • The variable is only defined on the six phase pages. None of these seven patterns is used elsewhere today; a fallback value would be needed if one is reused outside phase pages later.
  • Review size: 9 files, +14/−11 lines, well within budget.

Screenshots/video

Visual change (accent colour on section patterns for non-Discover phases). No screenshots attached — see Test plan.

Accessibility notes

No new colour tokens. Light-surface sections use the phase's normal token (the same value they used for Discover, e.g. #32800D in light mode) and the dark CTA section keeps the -on-dark variant, so the existing contrast pairings are preserved. A formal WCAG 2.2 AA contrast re-audit across all six phases' section colours has not been run (see Test plan).

Stack

Test plan

  • php -l clean on all 7 changed PHP files
  • phpcs --standard=WordPress clean on all 7 changed PHP files
  • npm run lint:json — all JSON valid
  • npm run patterns:escape — no issues in the changed files (the 14 remaining findings are in other files, unchanged by this PR)
  • npm run security:scan passed
  • npm run build:css — compiled CSS matches source (no diff)
  • Visual check on Create/Build/Launch/Grow/Evolve that eyebrows, numbers, icons, bullets and borders follow the phase colour
  • Site Editor check that --ls-phase-accent applies inside the editor canvas
  • Formal WCAG 2.2 AA contrast re-audit across all six phase colours

Changelog

meta:needs-changelog — user-facing colour-correctness change. Entry to follow in CHANGELOG.md on this branch.

Relates to LSA-132.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Phase pages now define shared light-surface and on-dark accent properties. The editor settings filter adds phase-specific accent CSS for matching phase pages. Phase section patterns use the shared properties.

Changes

Phase section accents

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define phase accent properties
src/scss/structural/phase-journey-nav.scss, assets/css/phase-journey-nav.css
Body defaults and phase page rules define --ls-phase-accent and --ls-phase-accent-on-dark.
Set phase accents in the editor
inc/phase-page-body-class.php
The editor settings filter adds phase-specific accent CSS for pages with one of the six phase slugs. Other editor contexts remain unchanged.
Use shared accents in phase patterns
patterns/sections/phase-common-services.php, patterns/sections/phase-deliverables-and-role.php, patterns/sections/phase-delivery-numbers.php, patterns/sections/phase-introduction.php, patterns/sections/phase-support-focus.php, patterns/sections/phase-where-to-go-next.php, patterns/sections/phase-cta.php, CHANGELOG.md
Phase section accents use --ls-phase-accent. The CTA checklist uses --ls-phase-accent-on-dark. The changelog records the updates.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in CHANGELOG.md: Added an Unreleased LS-4179 “Fixed” entry documenting phase-specific accent colour usage in phase section patterns, the new light-surface --ls-phase-accent property and its per-phase assignment, and the dark CTA checklist’s use of --ls-phase-accent-on-dark; includes the PR #73 reference.
  • observed — Modified behavior in patterns/sections/phase-common-services.php: The phase accent value changed from the Discover-specific color variable to the shared --ls-phase-accent variable.
  • observed — Modified behavior in patterns/sections/phase-cta.php: The checklist marker’s background changes from the Discover-specific color token to --ls-phase-accent-on-dark; its layout, radius, and padding remain unchanged.
  • observed — Modified behavior in patterns/sections/phase-deliverables-and-role.php: The accent variable now references --ls-phase-accent instead of the Discover-specific --wp--custom--color--phase--discover token.

Comment thread src/scss/structural/phase-journey-nav.scss
Editor accent
- Add a block_editor_settings_all filter that sets --ls-phase-accent and --ls-phase-accent-on-dark for the phase page being edited
- Editor canvas never gets the page-slug-{phase} body class, so per-phase rules never matched there
- Appended after the theme's editor styles so it overrides the body default

Default fallback
- Default both variables to Discover's tokens on the base body in phase-journey-nav.scss
- Covers pages with no phase body class or no matching phase
- Per-phase page-slug rules keep overriding it on the six phase pages

Build output
- Rebuild assets/css/phase-journey-nav.css from phase-journey-nav.scss

Review
- Addresses CodeRabbit comment on PR #73
- Front-end output is unchanged
