Primitives

Hex codes and pixel values scattered across the codebase have no meaning and no owner.

A primitive is a raw value with a name. blue-600 is #2563eb. That's a fact, not a decision. You define them once and rarely touch them again.

Nothing in the UI should reference a primitive directly. A primitive sits in the palette until a semantic token points at it. Until then, it does no work.

Named facts on the right. The button is still a hard-coded hex. It does not move.

You named the facts. Nothing consumed them. That gap is the next two layers.
