From c86c0d5769c545ffecadb67e18b41bce866adb0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 15:57:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Split CSS selectors reference page to reduce size below 50k characters Move Changelog filter components, Changelog components, and Light and dark mode customization sections into a new 'CSS theming & changelog selectors' page. Update internal links in site-level-settings.mdx, changelogs.mdx, and custom-css-js.mdx to point to the new page.
