Release notes

One answer for focus, corners, and copy

0.2.0-beta.141 · October 13, 2026

A pass over the small visual decisions that were being made several different ways: keyboard focus, corner radii, divider weight, tap targets, and copy. Each now has one answer, and four new checks keep them from drifting apart again.

Improved

  • Keyboard focus is one treatment everywhere: a single cyan outline that appears for keyboard users and never on a mouse click. A control pinned against a panel edge uses the one inset ring instead of swapping its border colour.
  • Corners come in four sizes chosen by what the surface is — chip, row, card, modal — so two cards side by side no longer disagree. Dividers use one weight instead of nine.
  • Every clickable control is at least 24 px to hit. A small icon button keeps its small icon; the target around it widens invisibly.
  • Copy reads the same everywhere: one ellipsis glyph, empty-state titles with no trailing period, and sentence case in menus.

Fixed

  • Clicking a control with the mouse no longer draws a focus ring.
  • Small icon buttons in dense rows are no longer 16–20 px targets.
