Colours were written down five times: rofi's palette.rasi, the waybar theme,
the kitty theme, the conky and dunst templates, and a MACCHIATO dict inside
udt-accent. Changing scheme meant finding all five, and they had already
drifted: the active waybar theme was Macchiato while theme.css next to it was
Mocha, and nothing imported the latter.
Now a scheme is two files. palette/<scheme>.conf holds the colours under the
scheme's own names, and palette/roles-<scheme>.conf says what each is for.
palette/roles.conf is one `scheme =` line selecting the pair. bin/udt-palette
renders that into each consumer's syntax and install.sh runs it first.
The role map is per-scheme rather than shared because the palettes are
genuinely different shapes: Nord has no `base`, Dracula no `surface0`, and
forcing Catppuccin's names onto them would have meant either renaming their
colours or inventing values. A role names a palette colour with two optional
modifiers, `name/75` for alpha and `name*50` for brightness. The second exists
because GTK's shade() has no palette name to point at.
Ships macchiato, tokyo-night, nord and dracula. --selftest resolves every role
in every scheme and asserts they define the same set, so a scheme that cannot
satisfy a consumer fails at install rather than when someone switches to it.
Verified against the live configs: all 46 waybar colours resolve identically to
the previously active theme including its alpha() and shade() derivations, the
kitty theme is colour-for-colour identical, and the rofi palette has the same
26 values. Generated files are gitignored; switching scheme and switching back
reproduces the originals.

udt-accent now writes ~/.cache/wal/udt-palette.qml alongside the accent,
border and colors.json it already produced. Quickshell components read it
and watch it, so editing the palette here recolours a running shell
without restarting it.
Unlike the other outputs this one is not only the accent: it carries the
structural colours too. Those are parsed out of rofi/udt/palette.rasi
rather than restated in the script, so that file stays the single place
the Macchiato values are written down. Hardcoding them a second time
here is exactly the drift this is meant to remove: the quickshell
components each had their own copy before this.
The atomic write that write_border already did by hand is now a helper,
write_atomic, used by both. Every generated file is watched by something,
and a torn read shows up as a theme that briefly loses its colours.
colors.json is untouched by this change, verified by running the script
before and after and comparing.

udt-accent now rewrites ~/.cache/wal/colors.json as a fixed Catppuccin
Macchiato palette with the wallpaper's accent in the cursor and the two
highlight slots, then runs `pywalfox update`.
colors.json is the only file pywalfox reads, so this is the only way Firefox
can follow the accent. Overwriting it wholesale costs nothing: wallp already
rewrote it moments earlier via `wal --theme`, and nothing else consumes it.
kitty reads its own current-theme.conf, so the terminal palette is unaffected.

Records what cost real time to discover: that rofi's -dump-theme normalises
values and cannot tell you what renders, that measuring screenshot pixels beats
reasoning about the box model, that GTK3's theme comes from gsettings rather
than settings.ini on Wayland, that ClearlyU shadows Private Use Area glyphs in
fontconfig fallback, and why accent extraction must not go through wal -i.
CLAUDE.md is a thin pointer at it, matching the user's global convention.
