Description
Problem
Global Nextcloud CSS occasionally overrides Whiteboard canvas styles, altering typography, colors, and control appearance.
Tasks
- Audit components for unintended inheritance from global CSS.
- Tighten style scoping so Excalidraw primitives keep their intended appearance across themes.
- Document the isolation approach to avoid regressions.
Acceptance criteria
- Canvas UI matches Excalidraw defaults regardless of parent theme.
- Checklist or guidelines exist for future UI to stay isolated.

Research direction
Start by auditing Whiteboard components and Excalidraw primitives for inherited global styles, then compare the canvas UI under different parent themes. Done means the canvas matches Excalidraw defaults regardless of theme and a checklist or guideline documents the isolation approach for future UI.
