# Polish pass

## Guardrails

- Do not add features, pages, or libraries.
- Do not restyle the whole design system unless the user asked.
- Touch only the surfaces in the current task.

## Pass order

1. **Structure** — heading levels, landmarks, one H1.
2. **Space** — consistent padding inside cards, breathing room between sections, no orphan 13px gaps.
3. **Type** — display vs body vs meta. Line length for prose.
4. **Color** — contrast, one accent, no random new hues.
5. **Interaction** — hover/focus/disabled on real controls. Keyboard path for the main action.
6. **Copy** — button labels, empty states, errors.
7. **Mobile** — stack, tap targets, no horizontal scroll.

## Done when

A reviewer can use the happy path on a phone and a laptop without noticing leftover scaffold.
