v0.7.1-beta.2

[0.7.1-beta.2] — 2026-07-06

Pre-release, continuing the 0.7.1 beta cycle. Fixes from live beta.1
testing on a real dashboard.

Fixed

• Needle gauges (needle: true) now color the needle and value text.
  In needle mode there's no value arc for --gauge-color to drive, so
  beta.1's fix visibly did nothing there. The needle's fill is
  var(--primary-text-color) inside ha-gauge, which the accent value now
  also drives (with the same inline-style-beating !important) whenever the
  card has needle: true — needle and value text follow your color, while
  the dial keeps showing the configured segments. The gauge hint in the
  panel now says exactly that.
• Tile cards: the accent color now actually wins — including tile
  features like the bar gauge. Same root cause as beta.1's gauge fix, one
  card over: hui-tile-card writes its state-computed color as an inline
  style on ha-card (--tile-color), so the Studio's plain declaration
  silently lost whenever the tile computed a color (active/state-colored
  entities — exactly the interesting cases). Now emitted with !important,
  which also cascades into hui-card-features (--feature-color derives
  from --tile-color), so bar-gauge/toggle feature rows follow the accent
  color too. Applies to both the Accent Color module and threshold-driven
  accent color.
• On/off entity pickers are now filtered to entities that actually have
  an on/off state (switches, lights, binary sensors, input booleans, fans,
  humidifiers, sirens, remotes) — a temperature sensor in a "controlled by"
  list was never going to match is_state(..., 'on'). The Icon Color
  "match the light's color" mode filters to lights only. Typing an entity
  outside the filter is still allowed, and value-based pickers (Threshold)
  stay unfiltered.
• The layout-card message no longer sends you in a circle. It claimed
  you could open a child card and press Style there — but Home Assistant
  edits stack children inside the same dialog, so the button kept binding
  to the container and showing the same message. The banner is now honest
  about the limitation and describes the YAML workaround; real in-place
  child styling is a planned roadmap item.
