[bug]: Shadcn CLI ignores style property in components.json, always fetching 'new-york'. Next.js 15.2.4, Tailwind 4.0.7, React 19

[jose-lico]

Describe the bug

I created a new project and started using shadcn, as I've done so many times before.
NextJS 15.2.4, App Router. Tailwind 4.0.7. React 19.0.0

I followed the instructions for NextJS, specifically the instructions for tailwind 4.

npx shadcn@latest init

The components.json that was generated came with the value new-york for the property style, which was fine, I changed it to default, downloaded some components with npx shadcn@latest add button, but they all came as new-york. I tried using both Use --force and Use --legacy-peer-deps. No change.

Tried reinstalling the cli and messing with the components.json to see if it was being ignored (it is not, as any other changes to any property will make the CLI error).

However, no matter what value I inserted for style, it always worked and downloaded the new-york version, not erroring out on not accepted values.

Affected component/components

All from my tests (Card, Button, Label, Input)

How to reproduce

Create new NextJS project, on latest.

Install shadcn cli on latest.

Change style from new-york to default

Changed title to include React 19

This is intended behavior for new projects, as shad is deprecating the default style going forward with TW v4 + React 19.

Damn, missed that in the docs, my bad. Thank you.
