Modern Web Guidance v0.0.192 is out. With it your coding agent now knows how to: • build SMS one-time-code forms that autofill (WebOTP) • make dark mode toggles that follow the OS • honor the OS text size setting • reduce INP and lazy-load video/audio • feature-detect CSS at-rules with @supports

The CSS guide also got a big reorg. Instead of one giant guide there are now focused guides for color (incl. relative color syntax), typography, motion, responsive design, visual effects, and browser UI theming. Not new guidance, but smaller guides = better retrieval = better output.

And the eval numbers. Across 132 tasks (1,124 assertions), pass rates without MWG → with MWG: Claude Code (Sonnet 5): 54% → 87% Antigravity (Gemini 3.8 Flash): 65% → 91% Codex (GPT-5.6): 59% → 81% Same agents, same tasks. The only difference is the guidance.

Also removed: 3 Cross-Origin Storage guides introduced in v0.0.191. @jakearchibald.com rightly pointed out that this feature was too early for MWG. Agreed. github.com/GoogleChrome/modern-web-guidance-src/issues/1598
