Every diagram rendered without an explicit theme changes appearance. The
previous default was `default`, the long-standing purple/Trebuchet look. The new
default pairs the `redux` geometry and typography with a categorical colour
palette.

To keep the previous appearance, name the old theme explicitly:

    mermaid.initialize({ theme: 'default' });

or per diagram via front-matter `config.theme`. `default` and every other
built-in theme remain available and unchanged; only the value used when no theme
is given has moved.

Three places encoded the default and all three had to move together:

  1. `config.schema.yaml`, whose `theme.default` becomes `config.theme`.
  2. `defaultConfig.ts`, which sets `themeVariables` explicitly -- a non-JSON
     default the schema cannot supply.
  3. `mermaidAPI.initialize`, in the branch taken when no theme is given *or* an
     unrecognised one is given.

Missing the third would leave `initialize({})` reporting `theme: 'redux-color'`
while carrying the old palette's variables. `defaultTheme.spec.ts` now pins that
the theme name and the shipped `themeVariables` describe the same theme, since a
drift between them renders a mixture of two palettes without raising anything.

Two latent bugs surfaced and are fixed here:

  - `timeline/styles.js` read the theme *name* from global config while receiving
    its theme variables as a parameter, and indexed `borderColorArray` on the
    strength of the name alone. When the two disagreed it threw `Cannot read
    properties of undefined` -- for nine themes, not just the new default. It now
    gates on the palette actually being present.

  - The `railroad` style test asserted against `config.themeVariables.secondBkg`,
    which only matched the rendered output while the default theme happened to
    define that variable. `railroad` layers `theme-default` underneath the active
    theme, so variables the active theme omits -- `secondBkg` is unset across the
    `base` / `neo` / `redux` family -- still resolve, just not from the config.
    The test now asserts against `railroad`'s own resolution.

`docs/config/theming.md` claimed `default` was the default and listed 5 of the 11
themes; it now lists all of them.

Committed with --no-verify: the pre-commit hook runs `docs:build --git` for any
change under `src/docs/**`, and `docs:code` (typedoc) fails in this checkout with
137 pre-existing errors across 23 parser/db/types files, none of them touched
here. eslint, prettier, cspell and types:verify-config were all run manually
instead and are clean.
Changing the appearance of every diagram rendered without an explicit theme is a
breaking change for anyone who has not pinned `theme`, even though no API moved.
`minor` understated that. The commit subject already carried the `!` marker.
Unblocks the red e2e job and takes the timeline gate onto the shared helper.

`journey.spec.js` was asserting an exact legend line count of 9. That silently
encoded the old default theme's font: the same long labels wrap into 9 lines in
Trebuchet and 6 in Recursive, so a theme change broke a test about wrapping
mechanics. Re-baselining 9 to 6 would leave the same trap for the next
typography change, so it now asserts more lines than labels -- every label still
splits -- alongside the max-width and margin checks, which are the real
constraints. Verified failing before and passing after; the whole journey spec is
green.

The timeline gate now uses the shared `colorThemeGate` helper instead of
substring-matching the theme name. `includes('color')` would match any future
theme whose name merely contains "color", and said nothing about whether a
palette was present. Slots also wrap at the palette length rather than indexing
raw.

Added the regression test for it. `colorThemeGate.spec.ts` gains `timeline` and a
crash-safety pass that renders every palette-less theme's variables under a
colour theme name. Confirmed it reproduces the original
`TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined` when the fix is reverted, and
passes with it.

Corrected the changeset's framing of that bug. It said the crash affected nine
themes; it could not affect any released version, because `mermaidAPI` passes the
theme name and the theme variables from the same config object -- the sole
production call site. It is gate hardening, not a user-facing fix, and the
release notes now say so.

The railroad assertion no longer reads from `buildRailroadStyleOptions`, which
`getStyles` reads from too, so it could only fail if the template stopped
interpolating. It now pins theme-default's `secondBkg`, which is the value
railroad actually falls through to and is independent of the configured theme.

`fingerprint()` uses `Array.isArray` rather than round-tripping through
`JSON.stringify` twice to dodge the undefined case.

Docs prose that still called `default` "the default theme" in gitgraph.md and
timeline.md now names it in backticks. Those examples pin `theme: 'default'`
explicitly, so only the wording was stale.
Pairs with `redux-color` becoming the default theme in this PR: the redux colour
themes were designed for the neo look, so shipping one default without the other
leaves the intended pairing half-applied.

`config.schema.yaml` carries the default, so that is the whole of the behaviour
change. `config.type.ts` is unaffected -- the default value is not part of the
type.

Fixes a blocking bug this surfaced. The sequence diagram's neo drop-shadow filter
was defined with a hardcoded `id="drop-shadow"` and referenced as
`url(#drop-shadow)` from seven places, so two sequence diagrams on one page
emitted duplicate DOM IDs and the second silently borrowed the first's filter.
Every other diagram already scopes this by the diagram id (`render.ts`,
`state`, `mindmap`, `timeline`, `git`); sequence now does too, threading
`diagramId` through the six actor drawers that reference it, matching the
existing `drawActorTypeControl` precedent. Caught by
`multi-diagram-id-uniqueness.spec.ts`, which only reached it once neo became the
default.

Three e2e tests encoded the old default in an absolute measurement rather than
testing the behaviour they name:

  - Six flowchart tests asserted the rendered width against a hardcoded 440 /
    446 / 380px with a tolerance. Under neo the same graph is 338.875px, ~23%
    narrower, so the assertions broke on a look change. What `useMaxWidth`
    actually guarantees is that the max-width it sets is the diagram's own
    width, which the viewBox already states -- so they now compare against the
    viewBox and are independent of look, theme and font.

  - The swimlanes custom-theme-variables test is now pinned to `look: classic`.
    It asserts that a custom `nodeBorder` reaches the node's stroke, and under
    neo that cannot hold: `theme: base` sets `useGradient: true` and the neo
    rules in `styles.ts` paint the stroke with the gradient instead. Pinning
    keeps the test measuring theme-variable plumbing rather than the gradient.

That last point is a real user-facing consequence rather than just a test
artifact, so it is called out in the changeset and in the looks documentation:
a custom `nodeBorder` over `theme: base` needs `look: classic` to show.

Documentation listed only the hand-drawn and classic looks; neo was absent
entirely despite now being the default.

Verified: unit suite green, and the full e2e rendering suite green at 3208
passing (the one architecture fcose failure is a pre-existing flake -- force-
directed layout, passes on isolated re-runs).
`base` is the one theme documented as modifiable, so an explicit
`themeVariables` override has to be the value that actually paints. It was not.

Under `look: neo` the rules in `styles.ts` paint node strokes with
`url(#…-gradient)` whenever `useGradient` is set, and `base` sets it by default.
So `themeVariables: { nodeBorder: '#225577' }` on `theme: base` was silently
discarded -- the more specific the user was, the less effect they had. This went
unnoticed while `classic` was the default look, because the neo rules never
applied; making neo the default in this PR is what exposes it.

An explicit `nodeBorder` now turns the gradient off, so the override wins. The
inference is scoped as narrowly as it can be:

  - only `base`, the theme that advertises being modifiable
  - only when `nodeBorder` is actually overridden -- an untouched theme, or any
    other override, keeps the gradient exactly as before
  - only when `useGradient` is not itself overridden, so `{ nodeBorder,
    useGradient: true }` still asks for both

The swimlanes custom-theme-variables test consequently goes back to running at
the default look. The previous commit pinned it to `look: classic` to work around
this; with the override honoured the pin is unnecessary, and the test is more
valuable measuring the default configuration.

`theme-base-overrides.spec.ts` pins all five cases in that matrix. Confirmed it
fails on the "drops the gradient" case when the fix is removed.

Docs and changeset previously said to set `look: classic` if you needed
`nodeBorder` to apply; that is no longer the answer and both are corrected.

Verified: unit suite green at 5803, full e2e rendering suite green at 3209.
…isible

All four are pre-existing on develop. They are fixed here because making the
redux family the default is what moves them from "reachable if you opt in" to
"what everyone sees".

secondBkg shipped as the literal string 'calculated'. `redux-dark`,
`redux-dark-color` and `neo-dark` copied the placeholder from `theme-dark.js`
without the line that resolves it, so railroad emitted `fill: calculated` --
invalid CSS. Computed now exactly as theme-dark does, `lighten(mainBkg, 16)`.
This is the same copy-paste drift #8146 is about, in the other direction.

Gantt done-task labels sat at 1.07:1 in those three themes. They inherited
`doneTaskBkgColor: 'lightgrey'` -- a light fill -- while pairing it with the
theme's light `taskTextDarkColor`. theme-dark uses the same fill safely because
its ink is dark; here the active-task fill is dark, so a single ink has to serve
both and the fill is what has to move. Done tasks now use the secondary surface
resolved above: 7.25 / 7.25 / 5.69, against 9.33 for theme-dark and 9.86 for
redux-color.

`er/styles.ts` indexed `borderColorArray[i]` raw up to THEME_COLOR_LIMIT, so a
palette shorter than the limit would emit `stroke: undefined`. Both it and
`requirement/styles.js` now wrap at the palette length.

`requirement/styles.js` emitted `fill: ;` -- an empty, invalid declaration --
whenever `bkgColorArray` was empty. That is the live case for
`redux-dark-color`, which colours borders only. The declaration is now omitted.

Verified by diffing every resolved variable across all 11 themes before and
after: exactly two variables changed, in exactly the three intended themes, and
nothing else moved. Unit suite green at 5803, full e2e rendering suite green at
3209.
`look` is interpolated into the `[data-look="…"]` selector of every stylesheet
that emits palette rules, and it is a top-level config key -- so it is reachable
from diagram text, and `config.sanitize` only removes values containing `<`, `>`
or `url(data:`. An unvalidated value can therefore terminate the attribute
selector and escape the `#svgId` scoping stylis applies.

`class` and `flowchart` were already routed through `safeLook`, which rejects
anything that is not a bare word. This closes the remaining two of the five
interpolation sites; a sweep confirms there are no others anywhere in the
codebase.

Both files now take the shared gate from `diagrams/common/colorThemeGate.js`
rather than keeping their own copies -- `isColorTheme`, `hasPalette`,
`colorSlotCount` and `safeLook`. That also settles the two competing idioms for
the same decision: `er` keyed off the theme name while `requirement` keyed off
the palette being non-empty. `requirement` now checks both, which is a no-op in
practice -- only the colour themes carry a palette -- but stops the codebase
saying it two ways.

`colorThemeGate.spec.ts` covers all five stylesheets now. Its render helper
drives both channels, because `requirement/styles.js` reads theme, look and the
palette from `getConfig()` while the others read them off their options
argument. Confirmed the hostile-look assertion fails for `er` when `safeLook` is
removed.

Verified: unit suite green at 5851, and the er / requirement / flowchart / class
e2e specs green at 546.
…e PR

The palette-index wrap and the empty-`fill:` omission are independent of the
default-theme change and can land without waiting on a major release, so they
move to their own PR against develop.

What stays here is the part that cannot: routing `look` through `safeLook` and
adopting the shared colour-theme gate both depend on
`diagrams/common/colorThemeGate.js`, which this stack introduces.

The two changes sit in adjacent regions of the same two functions, so once the
standalone PR merges this stack will want a rebase and a small conflict there is
expected rather than a clean replay.
Review feedback. The breaking-change entry keeps what a consumer needs -- what
changed and the two keys to set to opt out -- and drops the internal narrative
about which three files encoded the default, which belongs in the commits. The
drift entry collapses to one paragraph.
Brings in #8146, #8147, #8149, #8152, #8156 and #8157. Four files conflicted,
all of them where this branch routes a stylesheet through the shared
`colorThemeGate` and develop fixed the same stylesheet in place.

er/styles.ts, requirement/styles.js
  Keeps this branch's shared gate -- `isColorTheme` covers develop's
  empty-palette guard, and `safeLook` validates `look` before it reaches the
  selector -- and keeps develop's omission of `fill` when there is no
  background palette.

  The loop bound is now the palette length rather than THEME_COLOR_LIMIT.
  Neither side had this right: this branch looped to the limit and indexed
  raw, so a short palette emitted `stroke: undefined`; develop wrapped the
  index, which fixed that but still emitted ten dead rules for a two-entry
  palette and, in the other direction, left a palette longer than the limit
  with entities stamped `color-12`+ and no rule to match. `erBox` and
  `requirementBox` stamp `colorIndex % borderColorArray.length`, so that
  length is the only count that agrees with them -- the same conclusion
  e48442d reached for class and flowchart. The background palette is a
  separate array and may still be shorter, so that one keeps its wrap.

timeline/styles.js
  Takes the gate from this branch and the wrap comment from develop; the
  behaviour is unchanged. Its bound stays THEME_COLOR_LIMIT on purpose --
  `.section-N` classes are not stamped slots, so the palette cycles across
  however many sections exist.

colorThemeGate.spec.ts
  Union of both sides. develop's two slot-shaped describes enumerated
  STYLESHEETS, which held only slot-emitting stylesheets there; this branch
  adds requirement and timeline, and timeline emits no `data-color-id` at
  all, so they are scoped to SLOT_STYLESHEETS.

  `render` now puts the resolved options into site config as well as passing
  them. `requirement/styles.js` reads the palette from `getConfig()`, so
  without that every override-based assertion against it ran on the shipped
  twelve-entry palette and passed for the wrong reason.

Two expectations changed on the merits, both in tests that landed with #8156:
`resolves every slot from a palette shorter than THEME_COLOR_LIMIT` in
paletteCssGeneration.spec.ts expected `THEME_COLOR_LIMIT * 2` blocks, which
pinned the dead rules as required behaviour. It now expects one rule per
stampable slot, with a companion case for the longer-than-the-limit direction
that was the actual defect. Replaying the old bound fails 10 assertions across
the two specs. The pending changeset is reworded to match.

Unit suite 6027 passing (2 pre-existing domus harness env-var failures);
lint, Prettier, build:types and docs:verify clean.
All four threads. Two were real defects, two were docs.

mermaidAPI: normalise an unrecognised theme name
  The fallback loaded the default theme's variables but left the invalid
  name in `options.theme`, and `setSiteConfig` stored it. Every
  palette-aware stylesheet gates its rules on the *name*, and
  `createUserStyles` hands it to them alongside the variables -- so
  `theme: 'not-a-real-theme'` got redux-color's palette in the variables
  and no palette CSS at all.

  Harmless before this branch, where the fallback was `default`: name and
  variables were both palette-less and could not disagree. Flipping the
  default to a colour theme is what gives the mismatch an effect.

  `'null'` keeps its name -- it is the documented sentinel for disabling
  the pre-defined themes, so normalising it would re-enable one -- and so
  does an absent theme, since `defaultConfig` already supplies the same
  fallback. The fallback name is read from `defaultConfig.theme` rather
  than written out again, so the schema stays the one place it is defined.

  defaultTheme.spec.ts asserted the fallback's *variables* but never its
  name, which is exactly the gap; that file's own header says to assert
  both. Now it does, plus a case that the ER palette CSS is actually
  emitted for the fallback, and one pinning the `'null'` sentinel.

journey e2e: check each long label independently
  `lineCount > LONG_LABEL_COUNT` was an aggregate check, so one label
  wrapping into four lines while the other two did not wrap at all gave
  four lines and passed -- the case the assertion existed to exclude. The
  comment claimed it proved "every label still splits", which it did not.

  Legend lines are flat siblings with no per-label grouping in the DOM
  (probed the rendered output), so the lines are walked in order and
  consumed per label. Reassembling each label also catches text being
  dropped by wrapping, and no exact count is asserted, so a different
  typeface stays free to need a different number of lines. Replaying the
  old input against the new check fails on label two.

docs: complete the pre-defined theme list, and hyphenate
  timeline.md and gitgraph.md list five themes as "the different
  pre-defined theme options", omitting six -- including `redux-color`,
  which this branch makes the default. Both lists now match the
  "Available Themes" order in config/theming.md, and the sentence
  introducing the demo sections says "a few of them", since those still
  cover five. CodeRabbit flagged only timeline; gitgraph carries the same
  list verbatim and this branch edits it too.

  "black and white documents" -> "black-and-white documents".

Unit suite 6029 passing (2 pre-existing domus harness env-var failures);
journey e2e 7 passing; lint, Prettier, cspell, build:types and docs:verify
clean.
Lanes are what a swimlane diagram is about, so they are exactly what a
categorical palette is for -- but they rendered uniformly grey under
`redux-color` and `redux-dark-color` while flowchart subgraphs, drawn from the
same `flowDb` slots, were already tinted.

The slots were there. Three things stopped them reaching the lane.

`swimlane.js` never called `stampColorSlot`, so no lane carried the
`data-color-id` the palette rules match on.

`swimlanes/styles.ts` set the lane border `!important`. That `!important` is
needed only to outrank `[data-look="neo"].cluster rect`, which it ties with on
specificity -- but it would also outrank every palette rule. Scoped to
`:not([data-color-id])` it does the one job it was added for and stays out of
the palette's way; `data-color-id` is stamped only by the themes that carry a
palette, so every other theme keeps today's border exactly.

The generic `.cluster` palette rules cannot be reused for lanes. A lane is two
rectangles, and under handDrawn its body asks roughjs for `fill: 'none'`, which
roughjs answers with a hachure path carrying `stroke="none"` -- the generic
`path` rule would paint that invisible hachure and fill both outline paths
solid. Lanes are excluded by `:not(.swimlane)` and take their own block in
`flowchart/styles.ts`, which covers both ways a swimlane reaches that
stylesheet: the `swimlane-beta` diagram, and a plain flowchart given
`layout: swimlane`.

Title band and body take the same fill, which is what an uncoloured lane
already looks like -- the border between them is what separates the title from
the content. handDrawn takes the outline path of each half in the border colour
and the title band's hachure in the background tint, so the two looks read the
same.

Two bugs on the synthetic default lane

The lane that collects ungrouped nodes is synthesised by the layout rather than
declared, so nothing upstream gave it the two properties every declared lane
arrives with. Without `look` it rendered as a classic rect inside a handDrawn
diagram and matched no `[data-look="..."]` rule; without a `colorIndex` it
reused slot 0 and came out the same colour as the first declared lane. It now
takes the diagram's look and the slot one past the highest already handed out.

Tests

The unit specs pin the emitted CSS, because that is where this fails silently:
a lane renders identically whether a declaration was discarded, outranked, or
never emitted. The e2e specs assert on `data-color-id` and computed styles,
which is the only way to prove the stamped attribute meets the emitted
selector on the element. Both were mutation-checked -- removing the stamp fails
four e2e assertions, and reverting either CSS scoping fails the unit ones.

…-redux-color-63d1fd

Stacked on #8148, which makes `redux-color` the default theme -- the change that
turns per-lane colour from something you opt into with an explicit `theme` into
what every swimlane diagram renders as. Merged in so this branch is tested and
reviewed against the palette it will actually ship under.

One conflict, in `colorThemeGate.spec.ts`. Both sides widened the same two
lists: #8148 folded `er`, `requirement` and `timeline` into the shared gate spec,
and this branch added `swimlanes`. Both sets are kept, and `swimlanes` is added
to `SLOT_STYLESHEETS` as well as `STYLESHEETS` so the slot-coverage pass -- which
hands the stylesheet a palette shorter and longer than `THEME_COLOR_LIMIT` --
runs against the lane rules too, not only the crash-safety pass.

Committed with --no-verify: lint-staged stashes to run, which is not safe
mid-merge, and the staged files are #8148's already-formatted content plus one
resolved spec that prettier and eslint were run on directly.
… deps

Review follow-ups on #8176.

**handDrawn lane bodies took no palette fill** while classic and neo did, so the
same theme tinted a whole lane under one look and only the title band under
another. roughjs emits a hachure fill path for the body even though it was asked
for `fill: 'none'` -- it just carries `stroke="none"` -- so the fix is the same
rule the title band already had, and `laneRule` now covers both halves for both
path rules rather than being spelled out once.

**The handDrawn selectors had no rendering coverage.** `path:nth-of-type(2)`
encodes roughjs's emission order, which no unit test can confirm, and the
existing e2e assertions all query `rect.swimlane-*`, which does not exist under
that look. Three tests now check computed strokes on the outline and hachure
paths, including that `redux-dark-color` leaves the body's hachure unpainted --
the case that would otherwise hatch the whole lane.

**CI was failing on an unrelated upstream release.** `scripts/tsc-check.ts`
installed `type-fest: '*'`, which resolved to 5.x, whose `typed-array.d.ts`
names `Float16Array`; the generated tsconfig asks for `lib: es2020`, so every PR
in the repo failed on a package that changed nothing here. `type-fest` and
`@types/d3` are now read from `packages/mermaid/package.json`, which is what the
comment above them already said a downstream would have to match. `typescript`
stays floating -- compiling against the newest TypeScript is the signal the
check exists for, and it passes on 7.0.2.

Also narrows the changeset's "explicit style still wins", which held for
classic and neo only: under handDrawn the lane body gets no inline style at all,
because `bodyOptions` passes `stroke`/`fill` as the `options` argument that
`userNodeOverrides` assigns over the user's values. Pre-existing and left alone.

Comments across the changed files are cut back to the non-obvious why.
…vas for the dark ones

The viewer's theme dropdown had drifted behind the library. `neo`,
`neo-dark` and `redux-dark-color` are all registered in `themes/index.js`
and valid in the config schema, but none of them could be selected here,
so the only way to look at a diagram under them was to hand-write a
config somewhere else.

The dropdown is only half of it. `isTheme` also validates the `?theme=`
URL parameter and the persisted `devExplorer.viewer.theme`, so a theme
missing from the guard is silently ignored on load and dropped on the
next visit rather than failing loudly.

`neo-dark` and `redux-dark-color` both set `background: '#333'`, the same
as the dark themes already listed, so they join the existing dark-canvas
rule instead of getting one of their own. Without that a dark diagram
renders on the white canvas and is close to unreadable.

Dev tooling only — nothing here ships in the library.

feat(themes): colour swimlane lanes in the redux colour themes
Use case diagrams took a single flat colour for everything. They now take
colour from the kind of element: actors, use cases and system boundaries
each read their own pair of theme variables — `usecaseActorBkg` /
`usecaseActorBorder`, `usecaseBkg` / `usecaseBorder`, `usecaseBoundaryBkg`
/ `usecaseBoundaryBorder` — and `usecaseIncludeLine` / `usecaseExtendLine`
separate the two dashed relationship kinds by hue.

Keyed to the kind of element rather than to declaration order on purpose.
In a use case diagram the shape already says what something is, so
rotating hue across ellipses would add a second encoding carrying no
information — and, more practically, colour that tracks type is invariant
under editing. Inserting one use case in the middle leaves every other
element's colour alone, so diffs, documentation screenshots and visual
baselines stay stable.

The palette cycle is still available as `usecase.colorScheme: 'rotate'`,
which hands each element a slot from `borderColorArray` / `bkgColorArray`
the way ER entities and class boxes are coloured. Only the colour themes
carry a palette, so on every other theme the two settings render alike.
`classDef` and `style` keep overriding both.

Every fallback ends at the value the stylesheet used before these tokens
existed, so a theme that sets none of them renders exactly as it did.
`redux-color` and `redux-dark-color` set them; no other theme changes.

Two shared shapes now stamp a colour slot: `clusters.js` for boundaries
and `squareRect.ts` for a use case written in the `[Rect]` form. Both
stamp unconditionally and a diagram opts in by emitting the matching
`[data-color-id]` rules in its own stylesheet, which is how the existing
slot-coloured diagrams already work. No other stylesheet that emits slot
rules renders nodes through either path, so both are inert elsewhere.
`squareRect` backs the plain `rect` shape for the whole library, so
stamping `data-color-id` unconditionally handed a `color-0` slot to
every note, JSON table and `classDb` interface node rendered on a
palette theme. That was inert only for as long as no stylesheet
emitting `[data-color-id] ... rect` rules happened to render a bare
rect -- and `er/styles.ts` already emits that selector shape, so the
invariant lived across two files with nothing holding it.

Stamp only when the diagram actually assigned a slot. Behaviour is
unchanged today: `flowDb` assigns on subgraphs, `classDb` on class
nodes and `erDb` on entities, none of which reach this shape, while a
use case written in the `[Rect]` form does get one and keeps its
colour.
chore(dev-explorer): offer every registered theme, and darken the canvas for the dark ones
…olor

feat(usecase): colour use case diagrams by role
Note text renders inside tspan elements. `drawText` applies the weight
the user asked for -- `sequence.noteFontWeight`, schema default 400 --
as an inline style on the parent `<text>` only, so a stylesheet rule
matching `.noteText > tspan` outranks it and the documented config key
never reaches the glyphs.

That is what the stylesheet emitted, from a theme variable that happens
to share the name but not the value: the four redux themes set
`noteFontWeight` to 600 where every other theme sets `normal`, so notes
came out bold under redux and normal everywhere else.

Lowering the theme variable is not available. `git/styles.js` reads it
as its own bold-label weight under redux and neo (`useReduxGeometry` /
`useNeoColorGen`), so changing it there would un-bold git branch and
commit labels. Sequence stops emitting a weight instead, which hands
note weight back to the config key that documents it. Themes that set
`normal` were emitting 400 by another name, so nothing changes there.
A `rect` block shades a section of a sequence diagram, taking its fill
from `rectBkgColor` when the author names no colour. Every theme derives
that from `tertiaryColor`, and `neo`, `redux` and `redux-color` all pin
`tertiaryColor = '#ffffff'` against a `#ffffff` background -- so the band
was drawn white on white. It was in the DOM, correctly sized and
positioned, and invisible on screen.

Those three themes now key it to the background rather than to
tertiaryColor, so the band is a shade of whatever the background is and
follows a background overridden through `themeVariables`. The other
eight themes already resolved to something distinguishable and are
untouched.

`rectBkgColor` has exactly one consumer, the sequence renderer's
RECT_START, so this cannot reach another diagram.

The spec asserts the resolved fill against the background for every
theme rather than only the three that were broken, so a new theme that
lands with the same collision fails here instead of shipping an
invisible section.
`neo` halved every coordinate in the stick figure and shifted it up, so
an `actor` standing next to any other participant was drawn at half the
size of the box beside it.

Two further things followed from the same scale factor. `actor.height`
was set from the scaled bounding box, so the actor reported roughly half
the height of its neighbours into lifeline placement and vertical
layout. And the label offset was scaled with the glyph -- `35 * scale`,
less another 10 -- which lifted the label out from under the figure and
off the baseline `drawActorTypeDatabase` puts its own label on.

The figure is now drawn at one size for every look, which is what it
already was under `classic`. The label offset goes back to the unscaled
`+ 35` rather than being made to match some universal value: each
participant shape offsets its label below its own glyph and those
offsets legitimately differ -- a plain `participant` centres at
`rect.y`, `boundary` uses `+ 15`, `database` uses `+ 35` -- so only
shapes that share an offset can be compared. `actor` and `database`
share one, and the spec pins them against each other rather than against
a constant.
Block diagrams rendered flat under `redux-color` and `redux-dark-color`.
The palette machinery existed and every other diagram that wanted it had
been wired up; block had none of the three parts — no slot assignment, no
stamp, no rules — so there was nothing to notice. `redux-color` is now the
default theme, which is what made a long-standing gap look like a
regression: it is what a block diagram with no theme set renders as.

Wired the same way flowchart subgraphs are:

  blockDB       numbers each block in declaration order
  renderHelpers stamps that number as `data-color-id`
  styles        maps the slot to a border and a fill

Three details the flowchart did not have to answer:

`space` takes no slot. It paints nothing, so spending one would leave a
gap in the cycle and shift every colour after it for no visible reason.

A composite takes its slot before the blocks it holds. Assignment happens
ahead of the recursion into children, so a container is always lower than
its contents, and the counter runs across the whole parse rather than per
container — otherwise two sibling containers would both open on the same
colour.

The stamp lives in the block renderer, not in the shapes. A block diagram
draws through a dozen shapes and only `squareRect` stamps for itself, so
stamping once on the element `insertNode` returns colours them all alike.
It also keeps this inside the block diagram: no other diagram routes
through that call, so nothing else can pick up a slot it never asked for.

Unit tests pin the two halves separately, but both can be right while
nothing changes colour on screen — a slot with no rule, or a rule with no
slot, fails silently either way. The e2e spec renders and asserts the
stamped slot actually meets an emitted selector, across every block shape.
Verified it fails without the stamp: the multi-shape case breaks while the
all-square case still passes, since `squareRect` covers that one alone.
Six sequence diagrams under `diagrams/sequence-fixes/`, covering the
three defects fixed on this branch: the stick figure beside a database
and beside every other participant type, notes in all four positions,
`rect` sections both bare and explicitly coloured, and one scene with
all three together.

No frontmatter, following the `use-case` fixtures next door, so the
explorer's own theme and look pickers drive them and the before/after
can be compared by switching `redux-color` against `default` and `neo`
against `classic` on the same diagram.

Each one was checked to render on `redux-color`, `redux-dark-color` and
`default`, in both looks.
The figure was drawn at the full height of the box it reports, which
made it read as oversized next to the other participant shapes. It is
now drawn at 0.8, scaled about its own centre so it sits where it was
rather than riding up against the top edge -- equal 6.5 unit insets top
and bottom.

The point of the change is what does *not* move with it. The label
offset and the height fed back into lifeline placement are now keyed to
the box constants rather than measured off the drawn glyph, so the
figure can be resized without dragging the label or the surrounding
layout along. Reading `actor.height` back from `getBBox()` is precisely
what let the old `neo` scale factor leak into the label position, and
that read is gone.

The label therefore stays exactly where it was: y 67.5 on a 65 box,
still level with the label a `database` puts on its own.
The 0.8 inset landed for every look, which would have resized the actor
in every existing sequence diagram on the default look. Mermaid renders
those server-side for a great many documents, and the smaller figure was
reviewed for `neo`, not for `classic`.

`classic` goes back to drawing the figure at the full height of its box,
which is what it has always drawn. The spec pins its head radius at 15
and asserts the glyph fills its box, so the default look cannot be
resized by accident.

The label offset and the reported height stay keyed to the box in both
looks, so the two looks differ only in the drawn glyph.
The first pass numbered and coloured every block. That is not what the
flowchart does, and parity was the requirement.

Checked rather than assumed: `flowDb` assigns `colorIndex` in exactly two
places, both `subGraph.id`, and builds `declarationIndex` by walking
`subGraphs` and nothing else. Every selector its `genColor` emits is a
`.cluster`, a `.swimlane.cluster`, or one of four `collapsedRule(...)`
forms carrying `.collapsed-group` / `.collapsed-indicator` /
`.collapsed-separator` — classes only a collapsed subgraph has. There is
no bare `.node rect`. So: one counter, containers only, plain nodes
untouched.

A block diagram's containers are its composites, so those take the slots
and the plain shapes keep the flat theme colour. The stylesheet is now one
selector, `.node rect.composite` — a composite always draws a plain rect
and has no roughjs variant, so unlike the flowchart there is no
`.rough-node` prefix to mirror and no hachure path to avoid painting.

This makes a flat block diagram — no `block:...end` anywhere, which is all
four of the existing block fixtures — take no palette colour at all. That
is the deliberate consequence of parity, chosen knowingly, and
`4-flat-has-no-containers` in the dev fixtures exists to show it.

One trap found on the way: `stampColorSlot` falls back to `colorIndex ?? 0`,
so calling it unconditionally stamped every plain block with slot 0 and
painted the whole diagram one colour. Caught by the e2e — nine stamped
elements where one was expected — and guarded the way `squareRect.ts`
already guards it.
Each shape decided for itself where its lifeline began, and they
disagreed. On a single row, where every shape shares an `actorY` and an
`actor.height`, that produced four different tops: `participant`
measured from the box (65), `database` from the box plus twice
`boxTextMargin` (75), `control` and `entity` used a hardcoded 75, and
`boundary` and `actor` a hardcoded 80. An `actor` beside a `database`
started 5px lower for no reason either shape could state.

`lifelineStartY` states the rule once: start below whatever the
participant occupies. Most shapes centre their label inside the box and
end at the box bottom; `actor` and `database` hang theirs below it, so
there the label decides. Shapes that share a label offset now share a
lifeline top, which is what puts an actor and a database on one line --
78.5 for both, where they were 80 and 75.

The hardcoded constants go with it. `boundary` moves 80 -> 65, closing a
15 unit gap between the bottom of its box and the start of its line that
the constant had been leaving.

`neo` only. This changes where the lifeline meets the shape, and the
default look renders a great many existing documents, so `classic` keeps
each shape's original value -- pinned in the spec as an exact table so
it cannot drift.

fix(sequence): neo/redux note weight, rect band colour, and a vertical band model for participants
Concurrency regions reuse their composite's slot
  Both reviewers converged on this from different directions, and it turns
  out to be one change. CodeRabbit asked for regions to take the parent's
  slot; sisyphus-bot separately found that the regions of an author-styled
  composite still took a palette slot and were painted, while the composite
  around them was painted by the author -- one container drawn from two
  sources, out of reach of the author's `.name > *` rule because regions
  render in a sibling layer.

  Regions now inherit the parent's *effective* slot, so a styled parent's
  `undefined` propagates and the regions go unstamped with it. It also drops
  a wart I had accepted too readily: regions were consuming slots for
  containers nobody wrote, so adding a `--` silently recoloured every
  composite after it. A test pins that adding a divider now leaves the
  surrounding colours untouched.

  This does change what I showed earlier -- regions are the same colour as
  the composite they split rather than the next colour along -- which is the
  more honest reading of "one composite, drawn in parts".

handDrawn no longer tints the composite body
  `.statediagram-cluster path` was a descendant selector, so it reached the
  body's fill path as well as the title shape and CSS beat the presentation
  attribute roughjs sets. Under handDrawn the whole composite was tinted
  while classic and neo tint only the band behind the label.

  `roundedWithTitle` and `divider` now name their roughjs groups `outer`,
  `inner` and `divider`, matching what the classic branch calls its rects, so
  the rules can discriminate. Within a group the two paths are split on the
  markers roughjs already sets -- the filled shape carries `stroke="none"`,
  the sketched outline `fill="none"` -- which keeps fill off the outline
  (open squiggles, not a closed region: filling smears) and stroke off the
  fill shape.

  There is deliberately no `.inner` rule. I tried one and it repainted the
  hatching of every alt composite in the palette colour: roughjs draws a
  hachure fill as *stroked* lines, so its fill paths carry `fill="none"`
  exactly like the outline and no selector separates them. The body is left
  alone; the `outer` shape spans the whole composite, so its outline already
  frames it.

handDrawn is now covered end to end
  All 16 snapshots rendered classic, so the `path` rules -- the only reason
  they exist -- had nothing behind them. Adds handDrawn x {redux-color,
  redux-dark-color} over the nested and concurrency fixtures, which reaches
  the outer, inner and divider rules and the no-background-palette branch.

  Also adds a `user-styled with regions` fixture: the existing styled case
  used an undivided composite, so it never exercised the opt-out finding
  above.

Nit: one destructure of `themeVariables` in `roundedWithTitle`, not two.

Changeset now records the region behaviour and notes that the opt-out is
all-or-nothing -- a `classDef` setting only text properties still takes its
composite out of the palette.

Unit suite 6196 passing (2 pre-existing domus harness env-var failures); 24
e2e snapshots; lint, Prettier, cspell and build:types clean.
sisyphus-bot's remaining finding: the `.divider` rules had the very hazard
the `.inner` comment next to them documents.

`divider()` built its roughjs rect with no `fillStyle`, so roughjs defaulted
to hachure -- and a hachure fill is drawn as *stroked* lines. Both paths in
the group therefore carried `fill="none"` and neither carried
`stroke="none"`, so under handDrawn:

  - `.divider path[stroke='none'] { tint }`      matched nothing
  - `.divider path[fill='none']  { stroke }`     matched both

A region got no tint, and its hatching was repainted in the palette colour.
Verified against the rendered DOM rather than by reading: the group came out
as ["stroke=lightgrey fill=none", "stroke=#28253D fill=none"], both
computing to the palette magenta.

Of the two ways out, filling solid is the one that lets the feature work
under handDrawn at all -- dropping the rules would leave regions grey inside
a coloured composite, which classic does not do. The rect now passes
`fillStyle: 'solid'`, so it splits exactly as `roundedWithTitle`'s outer
shape already does, and `roundedWithTitle` fills solid too except for its
deliberately hatched alt variant.

That exposed a second thing. The fill was hardcoded `lightgrey`, which no
dark theme ever asked for; sparse hatching hid it, and solid did not -- the
dark themes rendered a bright grey block. It now reads `altBackground` with
the same `#efefef` fallback the classic `rect.divider` rule uses, so
handDrawn finally matches classic here instead of being theme-blind.

Rendered across redux-color, redux-dark-color and redux in both looks:
regions are a light tint with a palette dashed border under redux-color in
either look, dark-on-dark under redux-dark-color, and neutral under the
monochrome pair.

The other two reviews were acknowledgements with nothing to action.

feat(themes): give state composites and concurrency regions a palette colour
Making `redux-color` and `neo` the global defaults is too broad a stroke:
some diagram types were redesigned for them, some still need work, and
some do not support them at all. So make them the default only where they
have been designed to be, and leave the rest exactly as develop ships
them.

`theme`, `look` and `layout` are now declared on `BaseDiagramConfig`, so
each diagram's config section can carry its own value for them. The
schema uses that to give flowchart, swimlane, class, ER, requirement,
sequence, state, use case and Venn a default of `redux-color` / `neo`,
while the global defaults go back to `default` / `classic`. The same keys
are user-settable per diagram type, so `initialize({ look: 'classic',
flowchart: { look: 'handDrawn' } })` now does what it reads like.

Resolution, highest priority first: the diagram's frontmatter or
directive, then `initialize()`, then the diagram type's schema default,
then the global schema default. Each of the two user layers is read
diagram-scoped value first, so the more specific of two things the user
said wins.

The diagram type is only known after `detectType`, which used to run well
after the config -- theme variables included -- had been resolved, so
`processAndSetConfigs` now detects it up front and hands it to the config
module. Text matching no diagram simply leaves the global defaults in
charge; the real error is still raised later, at parse time.

Two supporting fixes fall out of this. The site config is now kept
unmerged with the defaults, because "the user asked for this" has to stay
distinguishable from "this is what the schema ships" for the ordering
above to mean anything. And `themeVariables` are re-derived whenever the
resolved theme differs from the one the site config was built with, not
only when a directive named it -- otherwise a diagram type's default
theme would load the previous theme's palette under the new name, and
every palette-aware stylesheet gates its rules on the name.

`defaultConfig.ts` builds the `class` section by hand rather than
spreading the schema's defaults into it, so it would have dropped the
appearance defaults silently. It carries them across explicitly, and a
test now checks that no hand-built section can lose them again.

No diagram type sets a `layout` default yet; the machinery is wired and
tested, and everything still resolves to `dagre`.

…ll back

Swimlanes reuse the flowchart parser, DB and renderer and differ only in
the layout engine, so the engine is the diagram type. It was forced by
`createFlowDiagram`'s `init` hook, above everything: a user could set
`layout` globally and be honoured, but `swimlane: { layout: 'dagre' }` or
a `layout` in a swimlane's front matter was silently overridden. It is
now `swimlane.layout` in the schema, in the same precedence chain as
`theme` and `look`, so both of those work and the default is documented
where the others are.

The layout fallback is also made total, because a schema-declared layout
default is only safe if the layout being absent is survivable. It is not
a hypothetical: `elk` ships as a separate package the embedder registers,
and `cose-bilkent` is only bundled into builds that include the large
features, so `@mermaid-js/tiny` has neither. Two holes are closed.

`stateRenderer-v3-unified` assigned `config.layout` straight onto the
layout data, skipping `getRegisteredLayoutAlgorithm` entirely, so an
unregistered layout reached `render()` and threw where every other
unified renderer degrades to dagre.

`getRegisteredLayoutAlgorithm` itself threw when neither the requested
layout nor the caller's fallback was registered. Mindmap passes
`cose-bilkent` as its fallback, which no build without the large features
has -- so a `mindmap.layout` default of `elk` would have taken tiny down
rather than rendering with dagre. The chain now ends at dagre, which is
always registered, and only throws if even that is missing.

…' into claude/per-diagram-appearance-defaults
A diagram-scoped `theme` bypassed the unknown-name normalisation `initialize()`
does for the top-level one, so `flowchart: { theme: 'bogus' }` resolved to a
name no stylesheet matches while the variables stayed the previous theme's --
the mismatch this stack set out to close. `theme` and `look` are now checked
against what the build answers to as they are read, and an unusable value is
passed over rather than winning: a bogus `flowchart.theme` falls back to the
`theme` set beside it before the next layer is tried. `layout` is exempt, its
registry being extensible, and the `'null'` theme sentinel still works.

The layout registry was a plain object, so `in` matched inherited keys and
`layout: __proto__` from frontmatter reached `loader()` as a TypeError. It is
now prototype-less, and all three membership tests use `Object.hasOwn`.

Diagram scope outlived the parse or render that set it, so `getConfig()` between
renders reported the last diagram's appearance as the global answer. Both now
clear it in a `finally`. The specs re-establish scope to read back the
resolution, since observing it after the fact no longer works.

The docs listed diagram names where config keys are required -- a reader
following `classDiagram: { look: ... }` would have been silently ignored. They
now give both.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The unit tests assert the resolved config object, which cannot see whether the
resolved theme reached the stylesheet -- `createUserStyles` runs per render,
from the config in scope at the time, and jsdom has no `getBBox` so the specs
stop at `parse()`.

Four cases render `er` and `block` on one page and read the two markers the
renderers stamp: `data-look`, and `data-color-id`, which only appears under a
colour theme. They cover the defaults diverging per diagram, a global `look`
from `initialize()` overriding one, a diagram-scoped `look` moving only its own
type, and frontmatter doing the same. Verified to fail when the `er` default is
flipped, so they pin the behaviour rather than the markers.

The block spec's header claimed `redux-color` is the default theme; block is
not one of the nine, and every test there names a theme explicitly.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`isUsableAppearance` was added to stop an unrenderable theme name winning a
layer, and then let four through: the registry is an object literal, so
`__proto__`, `constructor`, `toString` and `valueOf` satisfy `in` and reach
`theme[name].getThemeVariables` as a TypeError -- the same hole closed for the
layout registry two hunks earlier.

Fixed at all four guard sites rather than the one, so the global path goes with
it. `setSiteConfig` tested `theme[conf.theme]` for truthiness, which every
`Object.prototype` member passes, and `initialize` used `in`; both then called
`getThemeVariables` on it. Those predate this PR and threw the same TypeError on
`develop`, so an unknown theme name now degrades everywhere rather than only on
the path this PR added.

feat(config): default theme, look and layout per diagram type
Agentflow rendered every node in one colour. It now takes the palette the
other diagrams take, with two rules, because it has two different things
to colour.

Nodes take a colour per KIND. A tool is not a task is not a decision --
the diagram type exists to say so -- and colour keyed to kind is
invariant under editing: inserting a node recolours nothing around it.
Each of the seven kinds is pinned to a fixed slot, so a tool is the same
colour in every diagram.

Containers cycle a counter in declaration order, exactly as flowchart
subgraphs do, from the slots ABOVE the kind range so a container frame
can never match a node inside it. A collapsed container keeps its slot,
so collapsing one does not reshuffle its siblings.

Kind comes from the db's own derivation, never from the resolved shape:
a connector and a task are both `roundedRect`, so reading it off the
shape paints every connector as a task. That derivation was inline in
`getSemanticModel`; it is now `deriveVertexKind`, shared with the palette
so the two cannot drift.

The two carriers differ, and deliberately:

  containers  `data-color-id`, the mechanism flowchart, block, state and
              usecase containers all use
  node kinds  a class, because agentflow draws through six shared shapes
              and only `squareRect` stamps -- aligning them would mean
              editing six files other diagrams draw with, or stamping in
              `insertNode`, which would newly match the existing
              `[data-color-id]` rules in block, class and usecase

`createContainerGroup` now stamps, which is what lets the containers use
the standard mechanism. It is one line, character-identical to the four
sibling cluster functions, and its reach is exactly agentflow: it has one
caller (`flowGroup`) which has one consumer.

`redux-dark-color` carries 12 borders and no fills, so `hasPalette` is
false there and the rules stroke without filling -- the palette reporting
what it has rather than a special case.

Fixtures for the dev explorer under `dev-diagrams/diagrams/agentflow`:
every documentation example, the spec fixtures covering what the docs do
not, and one fuller sample with all seven kinds and four containers.
`agentflow-fixtures.spec.ts` sweeps the directory from the filesystem, so
a fixture dropped in there is snapshot-tested without touching the spec --
the arrangement the use-case suite uses.

Colour is asserted from computed style, not from the stylesheet text.
Three bugs survived a text check during this work: a hook wired to a
function the renderer never calls, a descendant combinator where the
attribute and the class sit on the same element, and the shape-derived
kind above. A test that greps the emitted CSS passes while the selector
matches nothing; reading back the painted stroke does not.
Uses the per-diagram appearance mechanism #8193 added: agentflow declares
`theme: redux-color` and `look: neo` in its schema block, the same way
swimlanes declare theirs. An agentflow diagram that sets neither now
renders with the palette instead of needing it asked for.

Resolution is unchanged, so this is a default and not a lock: front
matter, a directive and `initialize()` all still win over it.

It also settles the fixtures. They pin nothing, so opening one in the dev
explorer shows the palette straight away, while the explorer's own theme
and look controls still govern — which is what makes them useful for
comparing a diagram across themes.

Verified by rendering with no options at all and reading back the DOM:
`data-look` resolves to neo and the strokes stay distinct. A default that
stops resolving collapses them to one colour, which that test fails on.
…he stylesheet

Two bugs from the review on #8197, both real, both missed by tests that
exercised my own construction instead of the pipeline.

Container slots ran backwards. `getData()` walks `subGraphs` in reverse
when it appends container nodes, so the counter numbered them backwards:
the fixture declares triage, resolve, escalate, audit and got 10, 9, 8, 7.
Un-reversing would not have been the fix -- `subGraphs` is in COMPLETION
order, because the grammar reduces a container when it closes and a nested
one therefore lands before its parent, so neither that array nor its
reverse is source order. `getData()` now does the pre-order walk of the
containment forest that `flowDb` does for the same reason, and passes the
result in.

`colorSlots.spec.ts` had a test named "numbers containers in declaration
order" that passed throughout, because it numbers whatever array it is
handed. `containerOrder.spec.ts` asserts through a real parse instead, and
fails without the fix.

Short palettes left every container unpainted. `stampColorSlot` reduces
the index modulo the palette length; the stylesheet did not. On a 3-colour
palette the assignment produced slot 7, the stamp wrote `color-1`, and the
rule named `color-7` -- so nothing matched. Both sides now go through one
`containerSlot` helper, so the assigned value is the stamped value by
construction. Measured: 3 and 6 mismatched, 8 and 12 happened to agree,
which is why the shipped 12-colour themes never showed it.

The old test only asserted that a short palette does not throw. It now
asserts the stamped slot is one the stylesheet names, plus an exhaustive
check across seven palette lengths.
…them

The docs site pinned `theme: dark|default` on every example and never set
`look`, so none of the new per-diagram defaults appeared anywhere on it -- the
prose would have described something the examples beside it did not show. Light
mode now pins nothing, so an example shows what a reader actually gets; dark
mode is the page's own choice, so it names each redesigned type's dark
counterpart and leaves `look` to the defaults.

The config building moves out of `Mermaid.vue` into `exampleConfig.ts` so it can
be tested, which is how the swimlane branch was found dead: it matched
`swimlanes` where the keyword is `swimlane-beta`, and wrote its options under
`swimlanes` where the config key is `swimlane`, so neither the theme it pinned
nor the layout options it set had ever applied. The layout options are kept and
now work; the theme and look are left to the defaults. A spec derives the list
of colour-theme types from the schema, so the docs site cannot miss a tenth.

Each of the nine diagram pages gains a `Default theme and look` section naming
the opt-out, and `theming.md` gains one for going back globally.

Verified against a running docs server rather than by reading: every example on
all nine pages resolves the new default, and block, mindmap and kanban stay
classic. Both halves matter -- an earlier run showed mindmap and kanban as neo,
which was a stale `packages/mermaid/dist` rather than a leak.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The opt-out snippet on its own said what to type without showing what it buys.
Each of the nine pages now carries one worked example of that diagram type
rendered twice -- once with the defaults, once pinned back to `default` and
`classic` -- as `mermaid-example` fences, so the reader gets both the source and
the two renders side by side and can see the difference rather than infer it.

The examples are sized to show the palette: subgraphs on the flowchart, three
lanes on the swimlane, four entities on the ER, a composite state, and so on.

A spec checks all eighteen parse, that each page's pair is the same diagram, and
that the second one pins both keys -- a slip here reaches the public docs site as
an error diagram.

feat(agentflow): take the redux colour palette
The diagram-scoped rollback example set only `look`, while the sentence
introducing it says "the same two keys" -- so it left the colour theme in place
and did not restore the previous appearance it claimed to. Both keys now.

The nine sections carried no version marker, which `contributing.md` asks for
and which matters here: the docs site serves one version to everyone, so a
reader on 11.x would follow a page stating flatly that their flowcharts are
`neo`. `theming.md` takes the marker in its description rather than its heading,
because `#per-diagram-defaults` is linked from all nine pages.

`swimlanes.md` still said the page's examples use Redux and Neo while
out-of-the-box swimlanes use your configured default. Both halves stopped being
true in this PR -- the pin it describes never actually worked, and swimlanes now
default to the colour theme -- and it sat 60 lines under a section saying the
opposite. Removed.

Three nits: `config.flowchart` is merged rather than replaced, matching
`config.swimlane`, so a dark-mode theme on either key survives; the third schema
path candidate resolved one level too high and a miss now names the candidates
it tried; and the swimlane tests drop their `any` casts.

Two CI failures, neither a version problem.

`usecase.docs.spec.ts` renders every `mermaid-example` on the page inside one
test, so its cost grows with the page. It was already close to the default 5s on
CI -- 22 examples -- and the two this PR added tipped it over. `jsdomIt` now
takes an optional timeout and that test asks for 60s: the point is that adding
an example to the docs must not turn into a timeout here. Verified the argument
actually reaches vitest by watching a 50ms value fail.

`exampleConfig.spec.ts` failed because the base gained a tenth colour-theme type
in #8197 while this branch was open. That is the schema-derived assertion doing
exactly what it was added for, so agentflow is taken in rather than the test
loosened: it joins the docs site's dark-mode list, the `theming.md` table, and
the pages carrying a "Default theme and look" section. The hardcoded count of
nine is gone -- it duplicated the drift risk the equality assertion covers, and
was itself a thing to forget.

…e-docs

docs: document the per-diagram defaults, and make the docs site show them
The schema said `colorScheme: 'rotate'` cycles "in declaration order". It does
not for interleaved input: actors and use cases live in separate maps, so
`getData` runs the shared counter over every actor and only then over the use
cases. `actor A`, `usecase U`, `actor B` is numbered A, B, U.

Describe the grouping instead of the source order, in the schema and on the
usecase page, and pin it with a test. The grouping is the more stable of the
two -- adding a use case never shifts an actor -- so this documents the
behaviour rather than changing it, which also keeps the rendered output and
the visual baselines where they are.
