/* ============================================================================ Quest Connect — portal design system · v2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- OWNED BY THE ORCHESTRATOR. Page agents must not edit this file. v2 direction, after "looks old school, not clean": · White surfaces on a near-white canvas. No grey app background. · Light sidebar with a soft active pill — not a navy slab with white text. · Separation from SPACE first, hairlines second, borders almost never. · 15px base, taller line height, medium weights. No bold-everything. · Uppercase letterspaced micro-labels removed except where a table needs them. · One soft shadow level. 10-12px radii. · Navy is an ACCENT, not a background. Orange appears once per screen at most. Class names are unchanged from v1 on purpose — this is a restyle, not a rename. ========================================================================== */ :root{ --navy-900:#00293F; --navy-800:#003C60; --navy-700:#0A4E77; --blue-600:#00609C; --blue-500:#3D8CC4; --blue-100:#E3EFF7; --orange-500:#F0552F; --orange-700:#C43C15; --orange-50:#FEF0EB; /* ---- v3, the reference retheme (design/REDESIGN_SPEC.md §2) ------------- The inks lose their blue cast and go neutral. D-123 still binds, so the two quiet tiers were RECOMPUTED against the NEW grounds rather than copied from the spec - and the spec's own #6B7280 does NOT survive that computation: it is 4.40:1 on the new --hover/--tint #F4F4F6, under the 4.5 floor that test_elegance parametrises over paper/sunken/hover/canvas. Three units darker clears it, at a difference no eye can see. --ink-3 #687078 : 5.03 paper, 5.03 canvas, 4.73 sunken, 4.58 hover (>=4.5 ✓) --ink-4 #8C8C91 : 3.35 paper, 3.35 canvas, 3.15 sunken, 3.05 hover (>=3.0 ✓) Same tradeoff as before and for the same reason: --ink-4 keeps the 3:1 UI floor and NOT the 4.5:1 body floor, because the only greys that clear 4.5 everywhere are --ink-3 itself, and collapsing the two deletes a tier. Spec's #8E8E93 was also moved: 2.97:1 on --hover, which is the ground the active nav item's count sits on. */ --ink:#18181B; --ink-2:#3F3F46; --ink-3:#687078; --ink-4:#8C8C91; /* THE hairline.

Retuned, not rewritten: every one was a little grey against the references, so each gains a few points of chroma and they are levelled to the same lightness band (L* 93-95) so a row of them reads as one family rather than as seven unrelated washes.

They set intra-component gaps - a label to its input, an icon to its text - where 2px buys almost no page height and is exactly where "denser" turns into "cramped". The scale is still strictly monotonic, so no two rungs collapsed into one. Two things this cannot break, checked rather than assumed: - .form-band is repeat(auto-fit,minmax(128px,1fr)) with gap:var(--s4). A SMALLER gap gives each track MORE width, so the eight-cell band that was fitted to a measured 1168px cannot clip because of this. - .lrow's tracks are fixed px and its gap is var(--s3), which did not move, so the rebuilt line-item row is untouched.
