Summary

extractFigmaStyle (packages/verify/src/figma-node-style.ts) previously ignored SolidPaint.boundVariables.color and always compared against the resolved-at-fetch-time literal fill value. Any node whose fill is bound to a Figma Variable — increasingly the default in modern, design-system-driven Figma files — got compared against a stale/wrong color, producing silent false positives/negatives in the style gate.

  • Resolves boundVariables.color to the variable's current value via GET /v1/files/:file_key/variables/local, using the node's own explicitVariableModes override when present, else the collection's defaultModeId. Ancestor-level mode overrides aren't visible from a single fetched node — documented limitation, not a silent wrong answer.
  • The Variables API is Enterprise-plan-gated on Figma's side, so fetch-baseline.ts only calls it when a node's fill actually carries a bound color id (boundColorVariableId) — zero extra API calls for the common case.
  • Any failure to resolve (403/other HTTP error, deleted variable, non-COLOR variable, unresolved alias chain, missing variables payload) falls back gracefully to the literal paint color and surfaces a warning, never a thrown error or silently wrong data.

Scoping note

Grepped this repo for existing contracts/fixtures using bound color variables — none found (no contract JSON files are checked in at all yet). Real-world impact within this codebase is currently zero, but the fix is opt-in/zero-cost by construction (extra call only fires when a bound color is actually present), so it's safe to land ahead of any contract that needs it.

Closes #37

Test plan

  • pnpm --filter @framelia/verify test — 218/218 passing, including new coverage:
    • extractFigmaStyle/boundColorVariableId unit tests: default-mode resolution, explicit-mode resolution, opacity combination, fallback on deleted/non-COLOR/alias-chain variables, fallback when no variables data supplied
    • fetchBaseline integration tests: resolves via variables/local when bound, warns + falls back on 403, never calls variables/local when no bound variable is present
  • pnpm run typecheck — clean across all workspaces
  • pnpm run lint / pnpm run fmt:check — clean

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Figma baseline fetching now detects bound color variables, retrieves local variable metadata when needed, and passes it to style extraction. Style extraction resolves supported color variables by mode and falls back to literal fill colors when resolution fails.

Changes

Figma variable color resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Variable-aware style resolution
packages/verify/src/figma-node-style.ts, packages/verify/tests/figma-node-style.test.ts
Style extraction resolves bound COLOR variables using explicit or default modes. It validates RGBA values, combines variable alpha with paint opacity, and falls back to literal colors for unsupported or missing data.
Conditional baseline fetching
packages/verify/src/fetch-baseline.ts, packages/verify/tests/fetch-baseline.test.ts
Baseline fetching requests /variables/local only when a visible solid fill has a bound color variable. Request failures add a warning and preserve literal-color fallback behavior. Tests cover successful requests, failed requests, resolved colors, and skipped requests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6f086

This change resolves Figma-bound color variables while preserving literal-color fallback behavior, with no actionable merge-blocking risk remaining after normal checks and review.

…esolution

A bound variable's resolved value can carry its own alpha (e.g. a "White
50%" token) separate from the paint's opacity. resolveBoundColor was
dropping value.a and using solidFill.opacity alone, so a translucent
token on a fully-opaque paint round-tripped as opaque -- a false style
mismatch (or false pass) for any contract using such a token.

isRgba only checked for the presence of an "r" key, so a variable value
missing g/b, or with a non-numeric/non-finite channel, would pass through
to toHexColor and produce a garbage hex string (e.g. toHexChannel(undefined)
rounds to "NaN" and gets embedded verbatim) instead of falling back to the
fill's literal color.

Found by CodeRabbit review on #47.
extractFigmaStyle previously ignored SolidPaint.boundVariables.color and
always compared against the stale literal fill value, so any node whose
fill is bound to a Figma Variable (increasingly the default in modern
Figma files) produced false positives/negatives in the style gate.

Fetching the resolution needs the variables/local endpoint, which is
Enterprise-plan-gated on Figma's side, so fetch-baseline only calls it
when a node's fill actually carries a bound color id, and treats a
fetch failure (403, other HTTP error, deleted variable, non-COLOR
variable, unresolved alias chain) as non-fatal: it warns and falls
back to the literal paint color, same as today's behavior.

Mode resolution uses the node's own explicitVariableModes when present,
else the collection's defaultModeId -- ancestor-level mode overrides
aren't visible from a single fetched node, a documented limitation
rather than a silent wrong answer.

Scoping: no contract or fixture in this repo currently uses a bound
color variable, so the real-world impact here is zero-cost by
construction (the extra API call only fires when a bound color is
actually present).
