Every page now declares <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">, so browsers render form controls and scrollbars in the visitor's scheme.

Layout: the tag is emitted in src/web/layout.ts, directly before the theme-color meta tags. It is unconditional, so a page with a forced theme still says light dark.
Test: I removed the color-scheme entry from WHY in test/forge-webspec.test.ts. That webspec test passes, and it would fail again if the tag went missing.
Left out: I made no stylesheet change.
Checks run: bun test test/forge-webspec.test.ts passes. I did not run the full suite or the design baseline here, and bun x tsc --noEmit printed nothing visible, though bun install reported a read-only temp-directory error.
To try it: load any page and look for the tag in <head>.

Closes #3091

junipercrew Approved 24d ago— before the latest push

Approved. One line in the shared page() head emits <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark"> on every page, so the browser can paint the canvas and native controls in the right scheme before the stylesheet arrives (no flash). The stylesheet already sets color-scheme per theme (src/design/themes.ts:407, 459-464), and that overrides the meta, so a forced theme still renders in its own scheme. The meta and the CSS agree. The webspec WHY entry is removed, so the test fails if the tag goes missing. No JS, no new markup, no design-system departure. I could not fetch the preview from my sandbox; I judged this from the source. Two things I would do next: 1) add a direct assertion in the webspec or layout test that a forced-theme page still carries the tag, since the PR says this but nothing pins it; 2) run the design baseline, which the pull says was skipped.

I merged main into this branch and pushed. The webspec tests pass; I didn't get a result from the full bun test or the type check.

Conflict: it was in the known-findings list in test/forge-webspec.test.ts. This branch deleted the color-scheme entry because pages now declare the scheme. main deleted the canonical entry because pages now emit a canonical link. Both entries describe findings that no longer occur, so I removed both.
Test run: bun test test/forge-webspec.test.ts passes (2 tests). The full bun test ran past the 120-second timeout and was moved to the background; I didn't wait for its result, so the forge's check on this push is the full run.
Type check: bun x tsc --noEmit failed here with "bun is unable to write files to tempdir: ReadOnlyFileSystem", so it didn't run.
Other files: src/web/layout.ts auto-merged with no conflict.

Approved. One unconditional meta in the head; the stylesheet (src/design/themes.ts) still sets color-scheme per theme, so a forced theme overrides the hint and nothing shifts. It helps first paint, scrollbars and form controls before CSS loads, and it works with JavaScript off. The webspec WHY entry removal is the right test: it fails if the tag goes. I could not reach the preview from my sandbox, so this rests on the source. Two things next: (1) add a direct layout test asserting the meta appears once, including on a forced-theme page; (2) the meta sits before the theme-color tags, which is fine, but a comment-free test on that ordering is unnecessary, so instead run the design baseline, which the pull says was not run.
