Implementation notes

  • Use this Core Features doc as a navigation page first: the local clone mirrors the source structure and links each heading back to the authoritative upstream section.
  • Primary decision areas: Change skins, Built-in skins, Complete list of configurable keys, Colors (colors:), Spinner (spinner:). Read those source anchors before changing installs, credentials, automation, or runtime configuration.
  • Useful search signals for this doc: skins, themes, control, visual, presentation. These are derived from the public title and summary so the clone remains lightweight.

Decision table

Verification checklist

  1. Use this page to orient yourself within Core Features, then open the linked source page for exact current syntax.
  2. Start with the source section for Change skins; do not rely on the local summary for commands or secrets.
  3. Check platform, install method, provider, and credential assumptions before changing a real environment.
  4. Review the source section for Built-in skins if the page involves setup, automation, messaging, or runtime behavior.
  5. After applying anything from the source, run the smallest relevant smoke test before widening scope.
