+## Before starting
+- Look at the tools this session has before saying a design tool is not available: a Figma or design connector
+  may be attached. If none is, ask for exported frames or the values; never guess them from a low-resolution image.
+- Prefer the design's variable and style names (`color/surface/raised`, `space/16`) over the raw values: they map to

+## Values → tokens
+- Map each design value to the project's token. When there is no exact token, use the nearest one and list it as
+  rounded: "padding 18 → 16 (space-4)".
+- Never add a token only to hit a number from the design. When rounding would move something by more than 2 px or

+## Scope
+Build the states the frames show. A state the design does not show (error, empty, loading, long text) is built from
+the project's existing pattern and listed as "not in the design".

+## Check

+| a fixed `height` on a box that holds text | `min-height`, so translated or zoomed text can grow |
+| `@media` width queries inside a reusable component | `@container`: the component does not know the page's width |
+| `env(safe-area-inset-*)` with no `viewport-fit=cover` in the viewport meta | add it, or the insets read as 0 |
+| a sticky header and in-page anchors with no `scroll-padding-top` | set it to the header's height |
+
+## Type
+| Pattern | Fix |
+|---|---|
+| `line-height` with a unit (`24px`) | unitless (`1.5`), so it scales with the font size |
+| numbers in tables, prices or timers in a proportional face | `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` |
+| a weight under 400 on text under 18 px | 400 or more: thin weights break up at small sizes |
+| an input with a font size under 16 px | 16 px on mobile, or iOS zooms the page when it gets focus |
+| `text-wrap: balance` on paragraphs | headings only; `pretty` for paragraphs |
+| `-webkit-line-clamp` without `display: -webkit-box` and `-webkit-box-orient: vertical` | add both, or the clamp does nothing |
+| user-supplied names inserted into a sentence in a mixed-direction UI | wrap them in `<bdi>` |
+
+## Color
+| Pattern | Fix |
+|---|---|
+| a primitive token (`blue-500`) used in a component | a semantic token (`--color-action`), so a theme is one swap |
+| a hue in a semantic name (`--color-blue-button`) | name the role, not the colour |

+## How it moves
+- Animate `transform` and `opacity` only. Width, height, top, left, margin and padding force layout on every frame.
+- Never `scale(0)`: start from about `0.95` together with `opacity: 0`, so the element grows into place instead
+  of appearing from a point.
+- Set `transform-origin` to where the element comes from: a menu opens from its trigger, not from its own centre.
+
+| Element | Duration |
+|---|---|
+| button press, toggle | 100–160 ms |
+| tooltip | 125–200 ms |
+| dropdown, popover | 150–250 ms |
+| modal, sheet, drawer | 200–500 ms (larger travels longer) |
+
+| Situation | Easing |
+|---|---|
+| something entering or leaving | `ease-out` (fast start, gentle stop) |
+| something moving on screen from one place to another | `ease-in-out` |
+| a press, a spring back | a short spring or a strong custom `ease-out` |
+| anything on UI | never `ease-in`: it feels slow to respond |
+
+## Interruption and exit
+- An animation the user can interrupt (opening then closing a menu quickly) must reverse from where it is, not
+  jump to the end and start over. Transitions do this; keyframes do not.
+- Exit is usually faster than entry, about two thirds of its duration.
+- Never block input while something animates.
+
+## Respect the user
+- `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce`: remove movement across the screen and parallax; keep opacity changes and keep
+  the state change itself.
+- Hover effects only under `@media (hover: hover)`.
+
+## Gestures (drag, swipe, sheets)
+- A drag follows the finger from the first pixel and can be grabbed again mid-animation.
+- On release, hand the finger's velocity to the animation that finishes the gesture, so it does not stop and
+  restart.
+- The path back is the path out: a sheet dragged down returns the way it came.
+- Past a boundary, resist (rubber-band) instead of stopping dead, and spring back.
+
+## Never ship
+`transition: all` · `ease-in` on UI · `scale(0)` · animated `width`/`height`/`top`/`left` · an animation that
+ignores reduced motion · motion on an action repeated all day.

+# UI copy
+
+Loaded from `frontend-design` when a change adds or rewords text the user reads inside the product: buttons,
+labels, errors, empty states, confirmations, status messages.
+
+## Before writing
+List the words the product already uses for its things and actions (grep the UI strings). One thing has one name
+through the whole flow; a new word for an old thing is a bug.
+
+## Buttons and links
+- A button says what happens, as a verb and its object: "Save draft", "Delete 3 files", "Send invoice". Not
+  "OK", "Submit", "Yes".
+- The same verb carries through the flow: "Publish" → "Publishing…" → "Published".
+- A link says where it goes; "click here" says nothing to a screen-reader user listing links.
+
+## Errors
+- Say what went wrong and how to fix it, next to the field it is about: "Enter a date after today", not
+  "Invalid input".
+- Never blame the user, never apologise at length, never stay vague ("Something went wrong") when the cause is
+  known. When it is not known, say what the user can do: retry, or where to get help.
+- Keep what the user typed.
+
+## Confirm or undo
+- Prefer undo for anything that can be reversed: do it at once and offer "Undo" for a few seconds.
+- Confirm only what cannot be undone or is expensive. The dialog names the action and the object ("Delete the
+  project 'Atlas' and its 12 files?"), and the confirming button repeats the verb ("Delete project"), never "OK".
+
+## Empty states
+An empty state says what will appear here and offers the one action that fills it ("No invoices yet. Create your
+first invoice."). A first-use empty state, a no-results state and an error state are three different messages.
+
+## Status
+- Parallel states are written the same way: "Draft · Scheduled · Published", not "Draft · Will go out later ·
+  Live now".
+- Numbers carry their unit and the right plural form (use the project's i18n plural rules, never `n === 1`).

+- **An approval does not cross the boundary.** A "yes, commit" or "go ahead" given in this session is not one in
