+> **New in 9.0: the spacing count means what its label says, and the ruler is rebuilt.** Inside a style object every length used to count as an off-scale spacing value: a width, a font size, a shadow's offsets. Only padding, margin, gap and position count now, the same set the CSS rule reads. Because the benchmark was built on the old count, every yardstick is rebuilt on the same 34 repos, 10 reputable systems and 6 kit slices. Fleet medians are now 118 colours, 21 greys, 23 off-scale spacing values, 21 duplicated components, 51 inline style blocks, 77 bracket values, 8 near-identical pairs and 5 `!important`. Spacing moved down everywhere (33 to 23 on the fleet, 29 to 14 on shadcn repos, 97 to 75 on Ant Design); colours, greys and near pairs moved by one to three from counting fixes shipped since the last rebuild. Two of the eleven examples change score: Adobe Spectrum 72 to 66, Unleash 64 to 60. Take a fresh scan before you compare.

 > **New in 7.10: a fifth profile, `tailwind`, with its own benchmark.** A repo that uses Tailwind v4 and defines at least 3 colours of its own in an `@theme` block is read as a Tailwind repo. It gets one extra check: Tailwind palette classes such as `text-gray-500` written where the theme has a colour of that kind, per 100 files. A Tailwind name given a different colour counts as the repo's own. Tailwind repos are compared with a group of 11 Tailwind repos, and the target is 3 per 100 files (median 10). Three scores that were too high now show no score or a lower one: better-auth (100, its interface is in skipped folders), strapi (75, its colours are in an installed package) and supabase (100, now 28). Files that import an email kit are skipped as emails wherever they are. Svelte, Vue and Tailwind v3 configs are not read as Tailwind yet. `summary.json` gains `kind: "tailwind"` and a `tailwind` block, and `score` can be `null`.

 - **Honest exclusions.** Test files, Storybook stories, docs sites, example apps, SVG artwork, and email templates (which *must* inline styles) are excluded, so you can't discredit the numbers on a technicality. Your own exclusions (`.roastignore`, `--exclude`) are printed in the report header with file counts, so a scoped scan can never pass itself off as the whole repo.
 - **Intent-aware counting (v3).** Runtime-computed inline styles, compound-component APIs and wrapper components are not crimes and are not counted as ones. Token-led repos are judged on their hardcoded strays, not their token architecture. Repeated arbitrary values are read as decisions without names, not drift.
 - **The scoring code can be imported.** `scoreHarvest(harvest)` in `diagnose/score.mjs` returns the score, the nine tile results and the metrics as plain data. The report uses the same function. A CI check gets the same numbers as the page, and every `summary.json` records its schema version and the benchmark used.
-- **A real benchmark.** The "Avg Design System" yardstick comes from scanning 112 public React repos. A core fleet of 34 (cal.com, excalidraw, supabase, grafana, twenty, dub, langfuse…) sets the medians for ordinary product repos: 115 colours, 23 greys, 21 duplicated components, 51 inline style blocks, 77 arbitrary Tailwind values. The other 78 were scanned for the kit profiles, so a repo built on shadcn, Tailwind, MUI, Mantine, Chakra or Ant Design is compared with repos built the same way. The builder and the repo list are in `tools/benchmark/`, so the ruler can be checked, not just quoted.
