Admin Tailwind preset overrides the host app's default theme values

[tvdeyen]

The Solidus Admin installer mutates the host apps TW config, in order to allow changing the theme and to extend the admin with own TW based components.

The issue is that we overwrite the default theme with values from the Solidus Admin, by using presets and reusing the default TW color names and font sizes, etc. We either should prefix all our values with solidus- or just don't do that.

Would you want this one done? — The Solidus Admin Tailwind installer overwrites the host application's default Tailwind theme values via presets instead of namespacing its own values, silently changing the host app's design tokens. If yes, we'll do it and open a PR; if not, say so (or just ignore this) and we won't touch it.

How it works: an AI agent does the work against your write-up. Before anything reaches you, the change is rebuilt and tested from a clean copy of your project, using your own test suite, and the results are kept in a record you can check yourself. A human reviews it, submits it, and answers the review. You keep full control — nothing lands unless you merge it.

We're testing whether work offered this way is useful to maintainers — a blunt "no" is as helpful as a yes.
