| Validate `appearance.cssLayerName` before wrapping component styles in `@layer`. Values that are not a valid CSS layer name (for example ones containing braces, semicolons, or markup) are now ignored with a one-time console warning instead of being interpolated into the generated stylesheet. |

Update the public cssLayerName documentation.
Current Clerk documentation says users can name the layer “anything.” This release drops unsupported values and emits a warning. Document the accepted ASCII segment format and the unlayered fallback so upgrades do not silently change cascade ordering. (clerk.com)
As per coding guidelines, “Update documentation for API changes.”

Should we really be documenting that we don't accept invalid CSS layer names?

@dominic-clerk, not in detail.
The rejected-character list and one-time warning are implementation details. They do not need prominent user documentation.
However, the current statement that users can name appearance.cssLayerName “anything” is no longer correct. A minimal documentation correction should describe it as a valid CSS layer name and avoid promising arbitrary strings. We can handle that as a separate documentation change if it is outside this security fix.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Match the CSS layer-name grammar.
CSS_LAYER_NAME_RE rejects valid names such as --vendor and accepts CSS-wide keywords such as initial and app.revert. createEmotionCache therefore emits @layer initial {…} for the latter. A conforming CSS parser may ignore that rule, so its styles may not apply. For --vendor, sanitization instead disables wrapping and inserts the styles unlayered.
Reject CSS-wide keywords case-insensitively for every segment and accept the valid -- form. Do not include revert-rule, which is not a standard CSS-wide keyword.
Proposed fix
-const CSS_LAYER_NAME_RE = /^-?[A-Za-z_][\w-]*(?:\.-?[A-Za-z_][\w-]*)*$/;
+const CSS_LAYER_SEGMENT_RE = /^(?:--[\w-]*|-?[A-Za-z_][\w-]*)$/;
+const CSS_WIDE_KEYWORDS = new Set(['initial', 'inherit', 'unset', 'revert', 'revert-layer']);
export function isValidCssLayerName(value: unknown): value is string {
- return typeof value === 'string' && CSS_LAYER_NAME_RE.test(value);
+ return (
+ typeof value === 'string' &&
+ value
+ .split('.')
+ .every(segment => CSS_LAYER_SEGMENT_RE.test(segment) && !CSS_WIDE_KEYWORDS.has(segment.toLowerCase()))
+ );
}Add tests for --vendor, initial, and app.revert.

this is fixed now
Accept the `--` prefix and the spec's non-ASCII ident code points so previously working layer names keep being wrapped, and reject CSS-wide keywords, which make the @layer rule invalid at parse time. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Document the constrained cssLayerName contract.
The linked clerk/clerk documentation says that cssLayerName can use any value. This validation now rejects invalid names and falls back to unlayered styles. Update the Appearance and bring-your-own-CSS documentation with the accepted dot-separated identifier syntax and fallback behavior.

Description
appearance.cssLayerNamewas interpolated verbatim into the@layer <name> { ... }wrapper thatcreateEmotionCacheapplies to every Emotion insertion. A value such asx} body { filter: blur(2px) } /*closes the layer block early and injects arbitrary CSS into the page, which matters when an app forwards tenant-controlled branding intoappearance.createEmotionCachenow runs the name throughsanitizeCssLayerName, which accepts only a CSS<layer-name>(ASCII ident segments joined by.). Anything else is dropped with a one-time console warning and styles are inserted unlayered, as if nocssLayerNamehad been set.Fixes SEC-392.
