Shadcn Impl Theming Custom

Use when building or customizing a theme in a shadcn ui project, wiring the dark mode toggle, replacing the default primary color with a brand color, copying the output of the ui.shadcn.com themes builder into globals.css, or overriding the styling of one specific component instance without touching the global tokens. This is the end-to-end workflow recipe : the token catalog, oklch versus HSL format split, and v3 versus v4 wiring rules live in shadcn-core-theming. Prevents the flash-of-unstyled-content on first paint that comes from a missing suppressHydrationWarning, the silent "bg-primary did not change" symptom that comes from editing tokens without re-running the dev server, the two-ThemeProvider double-mount that breaks the toggle, the next-themes attribute mismatch that disables Tailwind's dark variants, and the brand-color contrast trap that ships an inaccessible palette. Covers the three-step theme-builder workflow (pick base style and radius, pick primary, copy CSS), the Tailwind v3 globals.css plus tailwind.config.js paste-target, the Tailwind v4 single-file globals.css paste-target with the @theme inline mapping, the Next.js ThemeProvider mount on app/layout.tsx with the four required props, the Vite custom Context ThemeProvider mount on main.tsx, the ModeToggle component with light/dark/system items, the brand-color override pattern keeping the foreground pair in sync, the custom palette build path with WCAG-AA verification, and the per-component override via the data-slot attribute that ships on every v4 primitive.
