Use CSS selector html.dark .b3-root to support next-themes
SDK Should not handle theme since it's too problematic (flashing dark/light on render)

Summary of Changes

Hello @nnti3n, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refactors the dark theme implementation within the SDK to enhance compatibility with external theme management solutions, such as next-themes. By shifting the responsibility of theme application from the SDK's root component to a global html.dark CSS class, it streamlines theme integration and resolves issues like theme flashing during rendering.

Highlights

  • Theme Management Refactor: The SDK's internal theme handling logic, previously managed by the StyleRoot component using a data-theme attribute, has been removed. Theme state is now expected to be managed externally.
  • CSS Selector Update: Dark theme styles in index.css now apply when the html element has the dark class (html.dark .b3-root), aligning with common external theme management patterns like next-themes.
  • Improved Compatibility: This change enhances compatibility with external theme libraries and addresses potential issues such as 'flashing dark/light on render' by delegating theme control.
  • Direct Dark Mode Styling: A specific component, OrderHistory.tsx, has been updated to directly apply a dark mode background class (dark:bg-as-surface-primary) to its ModalHeader.

Code Review

This pull request refactors the dark theme implementation to rely on an html.dark class instead of a data-theme attribute on the SDK's root element. This is a good change that aligns with modern practices, for example with next-themes, and should resolve the flashing issue mentioned. The changes in StyleRoot.tsx and OrderHistory.tsx are correct. However, the refactoring in the CSS is incomplete. I've left a comment on a missed update in index.css that would lead to broken dark mode styles for modals.

While this change correctly updates the main dark theme selector, a related selector for modals on line 293 was missed: .b3-root[data-theme="dark"] .b3-modal. It still uses the old data-theme attribute, which will result in broken dark mode styles for modals.

To fix this, please update it to html.dark .b3-root .b3-modal to be consistent with the new theming approach.

Support multiple dark theme selectors:
- html.dark .b3-root (next-themes with class attribute)
- html[data-theme="dark"] .b3-root (next-themes with data attribute)
- .b3-root[data-theme="dark"] (B3Provider theme prop)
- .b3-root.dark (manual dark class)
