What this is

The full CSS capture pipeline shipped across 9 stages. Every aspect of what Loupely Lens captures when you click an element was built in this release: where each CSS rule came from, how it competed against other rules, what the ancestor chain was doing to constrain the element, which nearby elements were interfering, and whether the problem was one of 9 specific visual failure types.

Origin classification assigned each CSS rule to one of 12 categories: theme, plugin-internal, plugin-external, page-builder-cache, css-in-js, mu-plugin, js-injected, inline-attribute, browser-default, and others. isSelectorDynamic detection covered 9 patterns including Styled Components, Emotion, Gutenberg block hashes, and Bricks builder. Ancestor traversal captured 30 levels of parent context, 63 CSS properties each. Competitor detection captured up to 10 nearby elements with their types and relationships. CSS variable resolution chains traced values up to 5 levels deep.

The credential scan ran before the relay write. Schema 3.0.0 structured the output with top-level keys: meta, stylesheet_map, target_element, ancestor_chain, competitors.

What it answers

– how does loupely lens know which plugin is causing a css conflict
– how many ancestor levels does loupely lens capture
– does loupely lens detect css-in-js styled components
– what is included in the loupely lens capture file
– how does loupely lens find competing css rules

Why we built it

The diagnosis is only as accurate as the evidence it reads. Every component of the capture pipeline existed to give the diagnosis model a complete, correctly classified picture of the CSS state.
