Sixteen custom properties and eight tailwind color utilities carried over from
the shadcn starter. There is no sidebar component in the repo and no
bg-sidebar/text-sidebar-foreground/... class anywhere, in either theme block.

DuckSuite_Design_Language.md covers icons only — mascot geometry, lighting,
one-idea-per-icon, readable at 64px. It says nothing about type, density or
data, which is why the chrome looks considered and every data view does not.
This is the companion document plus the primitives that enforce it.
The diagnosis it is written against, from grepping two apps: 11 uses of
text-[10px], 7 of text-[11px], 52 of text-xs and 3 of text-base, with no rule
about which meant what; six radius values; hand-picked emerald/amber/red/purple
next to unused --success/--warning/--destructive tokens; text-black/50 and
ring-black/5, which are invisible in dark mode. None of that was a bad decision,
it was the absence of one thirty times over — so the fix is to remove the choice
rather than to have better taste.
docs/design-language-interface.md sets four type ranks with a 12px floor, one
focal point per row, five state tones, three radii and a spacing rhythm. The
principles are lifted from the icon language rather than invented, because
"one focal point, reads instantly, no unnecessary decorations, if it needs
explanation it is too complicated" is already the right rule for a dense list.
components/Data/ is how you spend that vocabulary: DataRow/DataList/RowMeta,
StatusPill/StatusIcon, LoadingBlock/ErrorBlock/EmptyBlock, RelativeTime. Rules
you have to remember are rules thirty views already broke, so the shape encodes
them — DataRow takes exactly one title and everything else is meta, RowMeta
puts separators between items so a trailing dot cannot appear, RelativeTime
carries the absolute timestamp as a hover title.
Adds --info (violet) as the fifth semantic tone, light and dark. "Merged" and
"in progress" are neither good news nor bad, and painting them with --success
makes a merged PR and an open one look like the same thing.
Entirely additive: nothing imports these yet, so no existing view changes and
there is no collision with the other agent working in this tree. Typechecks
clean. Not yet rendered in a browser.

Three things about the background-task strip, all the same complaint: the chip you
want is the one you cannot see.
Newest first, because the strip scrolls horizontally and the far end is off-screen —
chronological order put every task you just started exactly where you had to scroll to
reach it. Finished chips are capped at five, so a long session stops turning the tray
into a history; running ones are never counted or dropped, since watching them is the
whole point. And the default horizontal scrollbar is ~15px tall and laid out inside the
row, which is what made the chips read as squeezed — it is thin now, and the row and
chips have the padding back.
