What type of PR is this?

/kind bug

What this PR does / why we need it:

Site defaults to dark, but mermaid stayed on the light palette. Blog diagrams also hardcoded light fills (fill:#d9f99d), so it shows pale boxes + light text.

  • mermaid now switches default / dark with the site color mode
  • those style fills are class roles (kai / info / run / ok / bad)
  • colors live in CSS so they follow light/dark
  • subgraph titles, edge labels, and arrows get a contrast bump

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes #769

  • npm run lint and npm run format:check pass
  • npm run build succeeds for both en and zh
  • Chinese translation updated if English docs changed (or noted why not)
  • Commits are signed off (git commit -s)

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Mermaid configuration now selects light and dark themes. CSS defines theme-aware semantic colors and diagram styling. Blog diagrams use reusable classes instead of inline styles. Documentation describes the updated Mermaid conventions.

Changes

Mermaid theme adoption

Layer / File(s) Summary
Theme-aware Mermaid rendering
docusaurus.config.js, src/css/custom.css
Mermaid now maps site color modes to light and dark themes. CSS adds semantic role colors, transparent backgrounds, readable labels, contrasting edges, and node styling.
Reusable diagram styling
AGENTS.md, blog/..., i18n/zh/...
Mermaid diagrams replace inline node styles with reusable classDef and class declarations. Documentation defines the supported roles and styling restrictions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 1567e

The dark-mode update may still leave some Mermaid edge labels with inconsistent backgrounds or contrast if the installed rendering styles override the new CSS. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a follow-up check of representative diagrams in both color modes.

Mermaid flowchart styles edgeLabel labelBkg edgeLabel rect SVG HTML label backgrounds current source

💡 Result:

In Mermaid flowcharts, customizing the background of edge labels is primarily managed through global theme configuration rather than individual link styling. Theme Configuration The standard way to change the edge label background color is by setting the edgeLabelBackground variable within the themeVariables configuration [1][2][3]. This affects all edge labels in the diagram: { "themeVariables": { "edgeLabelBackground": "#ffcc00" } } Custom CSS For more granular or advanced control, you can inject custom CSS using the themeCSS option during mermaid.initialize. This allows you to target the.edgeLabel class directly [1]: mermaid.initialize({ theme: 'base', themeCSS: .edgeLabel { background-color: #ffe; } }); Current Technical Limitations There is currently no direct, native support for overriding the background color of a single, specific edge label using the linkStyle syntax [4][5]. 1. LinkStyle Limitations: The linkStyle command is intended for attributes like stroke, stroke-width, and color [4]. Attempts to use background-color within a linkStyle definition are often ineffective because the property is incorrectly applied to the path element (which does not support it) rather than the edge label's container [4][5]. 2. Class Targeting: While you can define custom CSS classes for specific edges (by attaching IDs to edges and applying CSS), the internal structure of Mermaid's edge labels—which often use foreignObject and div elements—makes consistent background styling via CSS sometimes complex or dependent on specific renderer versions [6][4]. For most use cases, developers use the global theme variable or broad CSS overrides as the standard approach [5][1].

site:github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/blob/mermaid%4011.15.0 packages/mermaid/src/diagrams/flowchart/styles.ts edgeLabel labelBkg

💡 Result:

In the Mermaid.js codebase, specifically within packages/mermaid/src/diagrams/flowchart/styles.ts, edgeLabel and labelBkg are CSS classes used to style edge labels and their backgrounds in flowcharts [1]. The edgeLabel class defines the styling for the container of an edge label, setting its background color using the options.edgeLabelBackground property [1]. It includes specific rules for internal elements:.edgeLabel { background-color: ${options.edgeLabelBackground}; p { background-color: ${options.edgeLabelBackground}; } rect { opacity: 0.5; background-color: ${options.edgeLabelBackground}; fill: ${options.edgeLabelBackground}; } text-align: center; } The labelBkg class is specifically intended for HTML labels [1]. It applies a semi-transparent background color, calculated using a fade function on the edge label background option [1]:.labelBkg { background-color: ${fade(options.edgeLabelBackground, 0.5)}; } In the rendering logic (found in packages/mermaid/src/rendering-util/createText.ts), the addHtmlLabel function applies the labelBkg class to the label div when background rendering is enabled (addBackground = true) [2][3]. The code distinguishes between node labels and edge labels by assigning either nodeLabel or edgeLabel as the primary class, and further applies the labelBkg class if a background is required for that label element [2][3].

Style all Mermaid edge-label backgrounds.

Set background-color on .edgeLabel p and .labelBkg. Set both background-color and fill on .edgeLabel rect so HTML and SVG labels use var(--ifm-background-color).
