Six concrete changes to try tonight: cascade layers are stable across browsers and let you declare layer order and import third-party CSS into base / typography / utilities; accent-color styles native form controls with one line; subgrid works in Firefox and Safari (Chromium in progress) to align child layout to parent; :has lets CSS select parents and reduce JS (e.g., N+5 credits and card layouts); container queries (Chromium 105, Safari 16) add @container for component-driven breakpoints; Open UI APIs (selectmenu behind a Chromium flag, pop-up and anchor positioning experimental) are prototypeable now.
