First, correctness for prefixed themes on older browsers. Pull request 20606 addresses opacity modifiers when a theme prefix is in use. Without the fix, a prefixed text color at fifty percent opacity falls back to a solid color variable in browsers without color mix support. Modern browsers are unaffected because…

The report came from a Vite dev server running inside a Web Container, where editing markup — switching from one background color utility to another, for example — updated the…
What's next: if you ship prefixed builds with legacy browser support, verify fallback output after this lands.
