Add Figma Variable Scopes, Code Syntax, and Publishing Control Support
This feature gives token designers full control over how their design tokens translate to Figma variables. Users can now define variable scopes to control which UI elements can use each token (text, fills, effects, etc.), specify custom code syntax for different platforms in developer handoff, and control publishing visibility.
Key improvements:
hiddenFromPublishing
metadata with three states: inherit from collection (undefined), show in publishing (false), and hide from publishing (true)This enhancement bridges the gap between design system specifications and Figma's variable capabilities, ensuring tokens work exactly as intended across design and development workflows while providing granular control over publishing behavior.
