CSS became the configuration surface

Tailwind CSS v4 changes how projects think about configuration. Instead of putting every token in a JavaScript config file, more of the theme lives where the browser actually uses it: CSS.

StataRocket leans into that model with CSS variables for colors, surfaces, text roles, typography and glow effects. Antlers templates consume utilities and tokens without needing to know the whole design system.

Less ceremony, fewer hidden config caves. A rare trade worth taking.
