Forum update 1.2.2 beta

Replace legacy forum CSS incrementally with VelinStyle utilities and components while keeping accessibility checks green. AAA-oriented defaults support your review — they do not certify the forum. Deutsch

Maturity: Integration recipe is beta in 1.2.0. CSS / Web Components / runtime remain stable. Studio and the complete Utility Engine stay planned.

When to use

Follow this guide when integrating or extending VelinStyle (Forum update).
Pin @birdapi/velinstyle@1.3.0 and check maturity badges for beta surfaces.

When not

Do not treat beta plan/review/meta as a finished AI design system.
Do not invent Studio or Utility Engine APIs that are still planned.

Shared migration

Load VelinStyle after stripping conflicting legacy CSS (one template at a time).
Use velin-bottom-nav, velin-tabs, and velin-btn for mobile-friendly navigation.
Run npx velinstyle scan --only a11y on header/footer templates.
Community support: BirdAPI Forum.

phpBB

Copy velinstyle.min.css into styles/<theme>/theme/, link from overall_header.html. Override prosilver markup with velin-grid / velin-card on index and viewtopic first.

Discourse

Self-hosted: theme component or link compiled CSS in <head>. Hosted Discourse limits custom CSS — plan for component-only styling.

Flarum

Extension extend.php: register CSS import in forum frontend. Map badges to velin-badge.

XenForo

Add VelinStyle in extra.less (ACP → Appearance). Rebuild style cache after template modifications.

Vanilla

Theme Hooks: custom.css in default.master.tpl. Optional velin-search when you expose a JSON search endpoint.
