HANDOFF — 2026-10-30 (design conversion complete; spacing is a layout pass, not a sweep)

State

• Branch main, worktree clean. ~20 commits, unpushed (push at your checkpoint).
• The design conversion is done: DESIGN.md is the contract, Themes/Tokens.xaml implements it, and every surface consumes it — UI chrome, all dialogs (typeface included), the VM's state colours via Helpers/ThemeBrush, and the on-stream graphics via Services/Compositor/OutputPalette (which mirrors the tokens and is checked against them, because the pump thread cannot read app resources). Blue #38bdf8 is the only interactive accent; red #ff5451 is live/record; #e94560 is gone from the product.
• Four guards hold it: DesignTokensTests (doc ↔ brushes; converted files may not regress to a literal), ThemeResourceTests (no dangling StaticResource — the class of crash that killed the app on a slider), OutputPaletteTests (on-stream ↔ theme), SocialsPreviewTests (a real MainWindow, real preview elements) and DialogTypographyTests (dialogs inherit Inter).

Next action

Nothing queued for the design. The one item deliberately not swept: the spacing scale. Margins and paddings are per-side Thickness, not the single values DESIGN.md defines, so converting them mechanically would change layout without a rationale — that is a layout pass (a designer's job), not a colour-style sweep. Radii are tokenised where a token was honest; component geometry (pill halves, 2.5px hairlines) stays literal on purpose.

Landmines

• Not every hex is a theme colour. BorderColorPalette and the chat/socials config defaults are USER DATA — they keep their literals. On-stream graphics now come from OutputPalette, never from a literal or from app resources (the pump thread must not touch them).
• A red settings control is a bug now — red means live/record.
• Pre-existing: the full test suite hangs (WASAPI teardown). Per-class runs are the way.

Pending

• Launch and eyeball: fonts render (pack-URI resolution cannot be proven in the test host), the blue accent, blue-staged / red-live tiles, and mono telemetry.
• Vertical-tier camera check; webcam-cadence take in the failing geometry.
