Description

WordPress 4.7 has specific improvements to the customizer to make the preview compatible with JS-driven themes. I was originally thinking I would submit a PR to Picard to add support, but the theme fatal errored for me and so I found another theme to add support to. I did so for Anadama, see https://github.com/ryelle/Anadama-React/pull/5

If Picard gets freshened up to be compatible with WordPress 4.7 and the REST API committed to core, I'd like to help work out integration with the customizer.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Picard's current compatibility with the WordPress 4.7 customizer and the referenced Anadama-React pull request. Confirm whether the REST API has been committed to core, then define the required customizer integration and a way to verify that JS-driven theme previews work without fatal errors.
