Major correction per round-8 redirect.
Problem.
- Brown/copper --color-accent #C97845/#9D5F32 was dragging the UI
back into the warm-brutalist palette and competing with semantic
yellow.
- Record button about to become blue (Lumotia primary). Wrong —
record is universally red across products and OSes.
- Brand orange conflated with primary action. Orange should be
brand mark only.
Solution.
Source tokens — identity-only, never used directly in components:
--source-red #FF0700
--source-yellow #FFCD00
--source-green #00FF56
--source-blue #000AFF
--source-orange-brand #F0620A
--{role}-complement-source for the wireline layer
Component tokens — what components subscribe to. Hand-tuned hex
values verified at WCAG AA on the foreground each button pairs with.
Tonal scales (red-50..red-950 etc.) reserved for a focused future
commit; component names stay stable through that upgrade:
--button-record-bg #DC2626 (red)
--button-record-fg #FFFFFF
--button-record-border #B91C1C
--button-record-wire #00D8E0 (cyan, red's complement)
--button-primary-bg #2563EB (blue)
--button-primary-fg #FFFFFF
--button-primary-wire #F6E600 (yellow, blue's complement)
--button-danger-bg same as record (red, fg white, cyan wire)
--button-success-bg #15803D dark / #166534 light (green)
--button-success-wire #E600A0 (magenta, green's complement)
--button-caution-bg #FACC15 (yellow, fg #1A1500 near-black)
--button-caution-wire #1850D8 (blue, yellow's complement)
--brand-accent #F0620A (orange, LOGO ONLY)
--brand-wire #0A98F0 (cyan-blue, orange's complement)
--color-accent repointed:
quietware dark: #4A7BFF (was #C97845 copper)
quietware light: #1D4ED8 (was #9D5F32 copper)
HC: #005FCC (existing, unchanged)
v0.2 fallback: var(--color-accent) preserved → v0.2 stays amber.
New LumotiaButton variant: "record". Used by DictationPage's
record control. Existing v0.2 record button class swapped from
bg-accent (amber) to bg-[var(--button-record-bg)] (red). v0.2
fallback at :root maps --button-record-bg to var(--color-danger)
so non-quietware surface keeps its red-when-recording / amber-when-
idle behaviour.
Wirelines (renamed from counterlines).
--wire-width 1px / --wire-width-active 2px / --wire-width-focus 2px
--wire-opacity-dark 0.75 (was 0.32; bumped per round-8 spec)
--wire-opacity-light 0.6 (was 0.22)
--wire-opacity-active 0.9
--wire-opacity-focus 1
--wire-opacity is a mode-aware resolver (-dark dark / -light light)
--wire-style solid (dotted reserved for design-preview / drag-drop)
HC contract: --wire-width 0, --wire-width-focus 2px kept.
--focus-ring-color #005FCC (strong blue), not a decorative complement.
Legacy --counterline-* tokens kept as aliases pointing at the new
--wire-* set so Phase 4h/4i opt-in code still works.
Design-system-v2 preview now shows the new record variant alongside
primary so both red and blue button identities are visible.
Verified.
- npm run check: 0 errors, 0 warnings across 5707 files.
Phase 5c (Dictation layout migration) still queued for the next
focused sitting. This commit gives Phase 5c the correct grammar to
build on.
