Button

Four variants, three sizes. Primary carries the brand accent and elevation; secondary and ghost step down; destructive reads from the danger token. Radius, shadow, and weight all bend with the active shape.

Accessibility

Renders a native <button>; use <a> only when it navigates.
Focus ring uses --color-ring at --border-heavy, never the accent alone, so it stays visible on low-contrast accents.
Disabled sets aria-disabled + reduced opacity; hit target stays ≥ 44px at md/lg.
Label text contrast is guaranteed by the tuned --color-accent-fg per palette.

Link

Inline default, low-key subtle, and a standalone call-to-action with an arrow. On low-contrast accents (yellow, champagne) the inline link auto-mixes toward the foreground so it stays readable in body copy.

Accessibility

Always underlined inline (not color-only), so it is distinguishable without relying on hue.
Focus ring via --color-ring; underline thickens on hover and focus.
Standalone arrow is decorative (::after), not announced to screen readers.

Primitive · status & metadata

Badge & Tag

Badges signal status (solid, soft, and per-status tints from the success/warning/danger tokens). Tags are quieter metadata chips in the mono font, optionally removable.

Accessibility

Status is never color-only: pair with the label text and an optional dot.
Soft tints are generated with color-mix against --color-bg, so they hold AA in every palette.
Removable tag's × is a real button with an aria-label.

Divider

Horizontal hairline, a heavy rule, a labelled divider for sectioning, and a vertical rule for inline groups. Width follows --border-thin / --border-default.

Decorative rules use <hr>; a labelled divider keeps its text in the flow for context.
Vertical divider is a presentational <span> with a border, carrying no semantics.

Errors set aria-invalid and pair the danger border with text, not color alone.
Focus ring uses --color-ring; placeholder contrast comes from --color-muted.

Checkbox & Radio

Custom-styled controls that wrap native inputs, so keyboard and screen-reader behavior is free. Checked state fills with the accent; the focus ring tracks the hidden input.

Radio Morning (8–12) Afternoon (12–5) Evening (5–8)

Accessibility

The real <input> is visually hidden but focusable; the styled box is decorative.
Focus ring renders on the box via input:focus-visible + .box, tracking keyboard focus only.
Whole label is clickable; radios share a name for arrow-key grouping.

Primitive · utility

Icon wrapper & Focus ring

A consistent container for icons in three tones, and the shared focus-ring utility every interactive primitive borrows so keyboard focus is unmistakable in any palette.

AIcon wrapper · soft / solid / ghost

Focus ring · tab to the control

Accessibility

Decorative icons are aria-hidden; an icon-only control needs an aria-label.
The focus utility is outline-based (not box-shadow), so it survives high-contrast and forced-colors modes.
One ring definition, every primitive: --border-heavy solid --color-ring, offset 2–3px.
