Mischka [2.0.0]

20/11/2025

This release separated out the Astro/Bookshop components so that they are centralised in a separate repository to be shared by all sites. The components are site mounted for CloudCannon preview sites and cloned then accessed via symlink for Amplify-hosted production sites.

It fully implemented a four-level design token / variable system for SCSS to ensure convenient and value-agnostic flow through of mutable properties from site repos to the centralised components.
