Refs #492.

The app and the mockup render the same weight (all computed styles identical), so the thinness came from the shared base: -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased on the root, which turns off macOS's own smoothing.

  • drop the global antialiased (and the dark-only resets in cm.css / editor.css it needed)
  • light --body-weight 410 -> 460, --ui-weight 420 -> 440; dark unchanged (440 / 450)

Tests: editor, text-size, phone-edges on chromium-1440 and webkit-390 (all pass), contrast project (3 pass). Crops are on the issue.

Not changed: panes keep backdrop-filter + translateZ(0) on the text container (deliberate perf choice); no fractional translate or will-change found on their text.

Drops the global -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased (it thins text on macOS) and the dark-only resets it needed. Light --body-weight 410 -> 460, --ui-weight 420 -> 440; dark unchanged.

Landed in train u3, #520.

Train u3 ran the full suite per project (11 projects), plus fmt, clippy, workspace tests and the build.

  • Passed: chromium-390, chromium-1440, throttled-390, throttled-1440 (rerun after a session restart cut it off), flow, passkeys, prefs-chromium, prefs-webkit and contrast.
  • webkit-390: one tooltips failure, which passed 9 of 9 on the rerun.
  • webkit-1440:
    • opacity.spec:62 fails the same way on plain origin/dev (bisect: dev 1 failed out of 14), so it's a pre-existing flake;
    • missing-links:37 and the links specs are the dev race fixed in #518;
    • the other failures were the browser closing under load.
  • Workspace tests: one Rust flake (missing::a_path_tells_here_trash_and_gone), which is a dev race and is fixed in #519.

Contents:

  • #503: Places ghosting;
  • #506: font weight parity, with no global antialiased smoothing;
  • #507: sidebar hover edge;
  • #483: client ADRs 0040–0048.

All of these were approved by kayg. Merging.
