What changed

Before

A brand system loses value when every channel drifts after handover. A live-fetch approach would keep things current, but it would also make every customer site dependent on the platform staying online.

Bridge

We designed a versioned token API, ETag polling as the reliability layer, signed webhooks as the instant optimization layer, and plugin contracts for WordPress, Shopify, Next.js, and future native clients.

After

Uistic became a source of configuration, not a runtime dependency. Sites keep working during an outage, plugins update only what changed, and every framework consumes the same CSS-variable abstraction.
