blockr.ggplot (development version)
Improvements
- Text inputs in the settings band (grid block title, subtitle, caption) now commit on Enter or blur with an “Enter ↵” confirm chip instead of auto-submitting on a 300ms debounce, following the design-system text-commit convention (shared drilldown engine, re-vendored from blockr.viz).
- Design-token fallback fixes: slider accent and preview-status colors now fall back to the canonical design-system values (
#2563ebprimary,#16a34asuccess,#b45309warning text,#dc2626danger). - The facet and grid blocks no longer show a yellow warning banner when unconfigured: the facet “Facet by” field carries the amber required-empty cue instead, and both previews show a quiet muted one-line hint (design-system convention).
