📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project migrates template Sass files from @import to @use and mixins, replaces node-sass with Dart Sass, updates Gulp and Node requirements, reformats generated CSS, and adds a CI asset build job.

Changes

Sass build modernization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build toolchain migration package.json, gulpfile.js	The project requires supported Node.js versions, upgrades Gulp and gulp-sass, adds sass, removes node-sass, and uses expanded output for non-production template builds.
Template Sass module conversion _templates/*/scss/style.scss, _templates/messy-0.4.2/scss/_responsive*.scss	Template entrypoints use @use. Messy responsive rules are encapsulated in mixins and included from the responsive styles.
Generated CSS and CI validation _templates/*/style.css, .github/workflows/tests.yml	Template CSS receives equivalent notation changes. CI installs dependencies with Node.js 20 and runs the asset build.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8fc0f

The pull request upgrades the legacy assets build pipeline and related generated assets. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness that the CI job should add permissions and persist-credentials hardening; the bounded security exposure is low because the job does not push or upload artifacts.
