To implement an OKLCH color pipeline end-to-end, you build the parse, normalize, scale, and resolve modules according to spec v0.3. This ensures consistent color space handling and query resolution throughout the engine.

Color normalization in an OKLCH-based color engine is the process of standardizing parsed color inputs into a consistent format before scaling. It ensures that all colors adhere to the v0.3 specification for accurate semantic resolution.

To add new color spaces without breaking resolved color contracts, apply incremental guardrails during development. These preserve output structures like ResolvedColor and ColorMeta while you evolve the parsing and scaling pipeline.

Yes, you need planning docs to build the color pipeline with this approach. The implementation is validated against src/planning/spec-v0.3.md and src/planning/roadmap-v0.3.md to enforce code structure and frontmatter-driven metadata requirements.

The best way to structure code for a color parsing and scaling engine is to separate logic into distinct parseColor.ts, normalize.ts, and engine modules. This modular approach enforces safe, incremental changes and targeted testing.
