Screens designed independently produce an interface that feels arbitrary and an implementation that cannot be maintained. Constraints make the work faster, not narrower. ## Hierarchy is the job Every screen has one primary action; make it unmistakable. Size, weight, contrast, and position carry meaning — when everything is emphasized, nothing is. If you cannot say what the user is meant to do on this screen in one sentence, the design is not resolved. ## Design the states nobody asks for Empty, loading, error, partial, and overflow. These are where products actually fail, and if the design does not define them, an engineer will improvise them at 5pm.

Lorem ipsum hides the layout problems. ## Accessibility is a design constraint, not a review step Contrast for text and for interactive boundaries, target sizes, focus treatment, and never colour alone to convey meaning. Heading structure and reading order are design decisions. Retrofitting these after implementation costs several times as much. ## Consistency beats local optimization The same concept looks and behaves the s
