chore(theme): drop the unused --text-display token #103
Description
Activity
🎯 Agentic Issue Triage
Summary: Remove the unused
--text-displayCSS custom property fromapp/globals.css's@theme inlineblock. The token has no call sites and Tailwind v4 never emits a utility for it — it's dead code.Analysis
Type: Chore / dead-code cleanup
Scope: Single-line deletion inapp/globals.css
Risk: None — no component, MDX file, or stylesheet referencestext-displayor--text-display
Related: Sibling cleanup issue #102 (layout token promotion); both stem from the PR #101 rename passSuggested implementation
Option 1 (recommended): delete the declaration from
@theme inline:- --text-display: clamp(3.5rem, 14vw, 12.5rem);That's the entire change. No import, no component, no test needs touching.
Verify with:
grep -r "text-display\|--text-display" app/ components/ lib/ content/ # should return no results after the deletion pnpm lint && pnpm exec tsc --noEmit && pnpm build

Background
app/globals.css's@theme inlineblock defines--text-display: clamp(3.5rem, 14vw, 12.5rem)but nothing references it —grepfortext-display/--text-displayacrossapp/,components/,lib/,content/finds only the declaration. It's been dead since before #101 (it was--fs-displaythen; #101 just renamed it along with the rest of the scale for namespace coherence — see the review note). Tailwind v4 won't even emit atext-displayutility because it's never used in a class.Options
@theme inlineblock. Simplest; the scale loses one rung but no behaviour changes.--text-h1that we want on the books, find/define the call site and usetext-display. (No such call site exists today, and chore(theme): migrate footer to Tailwind theme utilities #76/feat(blog): redesign the index and post pages as a "field-log" table #99/fix(blog): capitalize post headings, center body, tighten heading rhythm #100's redesigns didn't introduce one, so this seems unlikely.)Recommendation: option 1 unless someone has a near-term use for a display-size token.
