  - "bg-surface-container text-on-surface added to select className — semantic tokens ensure correct rendering in both light and dark themes without dark: prefix"

patterns-established:
  - "Native select elements require explicit bg and text semantic token classes — browser default white background overrides dark mode cascade otherwise"

# Phase 12 Plan 02: FieldRenderer Select Dark Mode Fix Summary

**Select dropdowns in FieldRenderer now use bg-surface-container and text-on-surface semantic tokens, fixing browser-imposed white background in dark mode**

## Performance

- **Duration:** ~1 min
- **Started:** 2026-04-01T14:03:23Z
- **Completed:** 2026-04-01T14:04:05Z
- **Tasks:** 1
- **Files modified:** 1

## Accomplishments
- Added `bg-surface-container text-on-surface` to the select element's className in FieldRenderer.tsx
- Fixed invisible text in select dropdowns when app is in dark mode (browser was applying native white background)
- Full test suite (204 tests, 16 files) passes with zero regressions

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Add dark mode classes to FieldRenderer select element** - `94e90e0` (feat)

## Files Created/Modified
- `src/components/ui/FieldRenderer.tsx` - Added `bg-surface-container text-on-surface` to select element className

## Decisions Made
None - followed plan as specified. The two semantic token classes were added exactly as prescribed, without touching option elements or border/error conditional logic.

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered
None.

## User Setup Required
None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness
- FieldRenderer select elements are now fully dark-mode compatible
- Remaining dark mode fixes (if any) in phase 12 can proceed independently
- Phase 13 (Add remaining rclone remotes) is unblocked
