What's Changed

✨ Features

• Dark Mode Support for Wave Separators ✅ NEW:

  • Wave separators now fully support light and dark modes
  • Separate color configuration per mode: background_color_dark applied in dark mode
  • Smooth transitions between blocks in both light and dark themes
  • Intelligent color detection: automatically uses block background colors
  • Applied to all transition shapes: wavy, zigzag, diagonal, smooth

• CMS Page Links in Hero Blocks ✅ NEW:

  • Hero blocks can now link to CMS pages via dropdown selector
  • Fixed LinkResolver to correctly resolve CMS page routes
  • Supports locales-aware URL generation
  • Admin UI: clean link type selector with CMS page dropdown

• Gradient-Aware Transition System ⭐ MAJOR UPDATE:

  • New WaveSeparatorService::extractEdgeColor() method for intelligent color extraction
  • Transitions now intelligently adapt colors based on adjacent block gradient directions
  • Automatically detects gradient direction (to-br, to-r, to-b, circle, etc.) and extracts the correct edge color
  • Supports color blending for horizontal/diagonal gradients to ensure smooth visual transitions
  • Applied to all 4 transition types: diagonal, clippath, margin, animation
  • Result: Seamless visual blending between blocks regardless of gradient configuration
  • 9 new comprehensive tests ensuring correctness across all gradient directions
  • Documentation: docs/TRANSITION_GRADIENT_AWARE.md with implementation details and examples

  Example improvement:

  BEFORE: Transition used full block gradient endpoints (suboptimal colors)
  AFTER:  Transition intelligently extracts bottom color from previous block & top color from next block
          Result: Perfect visual continuation between sections
