A deliberate synthesis: v11's pure white + electric cobalt + sans 500–700, v8's hairline-list discipline (lists, not cards), v10's editorial section headers (small-caps riding a hairline rule), v7's flat-5-tab IA + see-all/act-only-if-permitted permission model. The visual language of v11 with the rhythm of v8 and the typographic grammar of v10.
Three-tier elevation: hairline (lists — qa-rows, requests, chats, attendance days), subtle (small-action grids — Me tiles, Home stats), hero (Punch circle, salary donut, announcement). Attendance is reborn as a logbook — hairline rows, day-of-week column, today gradient-washed in cobalt. Tap the white circle to invert it to solid cobalt.
