76## AI Build Instructions
77
78> **Read this section before writing any code.** The rules below
79> are non-negotiable. Every value used in the UI must come from this
80> file's frontmatter — never substitute, approximate, or invent new
81> colors, fonts, radii, or shadows. If a value is missing, ask the
82> user before adding one.
83
84### 1 · Your role
85
86You are building UI for a project that has adopted **Titanium Deck** as its
87design system. Treat `DESIGN.md` as the single source of truth.
88Your job is to translate the user's product requirements into
89components and pages that look like they were designed by the same
90person who authored this file.
91
92### 2 · Token compliance
93
94- Pull every color, font family, radius, shadow, and spacing value
95 from the frontmatter at the top of this file.
96- Use semantic roles (e.g. `primary`, `accent`, `muted`) — never
97 hard-code hex values that bypass the system.
98- When a token can be expressed as a CSS variable, declare it once
99 in your global stylesheet and reference it everywhere downstream.
100- The Google Fonts `<link>` is provided in the Typography section.
101 Add it to `<head>` before any component renders.
102
103### 3 · Component recipes
104
105Use these recipes verbatim when building the corresponding component.
106
107#### Buttons
108
109Four variants are defined. Pick one — never blend variants or invent a fifth.
110
111- **Primary** — rounded shape, bg `#1c1f24`, text `#f1f2f4`, border `1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.4)`, padding `9px 18px`, weight `600`, shadow `rgba(255,255,255,0.10) 0 1px 0 inset, rgba(0,0,0,0.18) 0 1px 2px`.
112- **Secondary** — rounded shape, bg `linear-gradient(180deg, #f6f7f8, #e2e4e8)`, text `#1c1f24`, border `1px solid rgba(28,31,36,0.18)`, padding `9px 18px`, weight `600`, shadow `rgba(255,255,255,0.6) 0 1px 0 inset`.
113- **Outline** — rounded shape, text `#1c1f24`, border `1px solid rgba(28,31,36,0.22)`, padding `9px 18px`, weight `600`.
114- **Ghost** — rounded shape, text `#6c727a`, padding `9px 14px`, weight `600`.
115
116Reach for **primary** as the single dominant CTA per screen.
117**Secondary** for the supporting action. **Outline** for tertiary
118actions in toolbars. **Ghost** for inline links and table actions.
119
120#### Cards
121
122- Background: `#f1f2f4`
123- Border: `1px solid rgba(28,31,36,0.06)`
124- Shadow: `rgba(255,255,255,0.7) 0 1px 0 inset, rgba(28,31,36,0.06) 0 0 0 1px, rgba(28,31,36,0.04) 0 1px 2px`
125- Radius: `radius.lg` (`8px`)
126- Internal padding: `20px` for compact cards, `24–28px` for content cards.
127
128#### Tabs
129
130Variant: `boxed`. Each tab is a bordered card. Active tab gets the accent border and a subtle fill.
131
132#### Charts
133
134- Bar/line variant: `thin-bars`
135- Highlight strategy: `single` — emphasize a single bar/point per chart.
136
137#### Typography pairings
138
139- **Display (`Space Grotesk`)** — h1, h2, hero headlines, brand wordmarks.
140- **Body (`Space Grotesk`)** — paragraphs, labels, button text, form inputs.
141- **Mono (`IBM Plex Mono`)** — code, eyebrows, metadata, numerals in tables.
142
143### 4 · Hard constraints
144
145Never do any of the following without explicit instruction from the user:
146
147- Introduce a new color, font, radius, or shadow that isn't declared above.
148- Mix this system with another (e.g. don't paste in Material or Bootstrap defaults).
149- Use generic gradient defaults (purple→blue, peach→pink) — they break the system's voice.
150- Reach for emoji icons. Use a consistent icon library and size icons in line with body type.
151- Add motion that exceeds the system's restraint — keep transitions short (≤200ms) and subtle.
152
153### 5 · Before you finish — verify
154
155Run through this checklist for every screen you produce:
156
157- [ ] Every color used appears in the Colors table above.
158- [ ] Headlines use the display font; body copy uses the body font.
159- [ ] Buttons match one of the declared variants exactly (shape, padding, weight).
160- [ ] Border-radius values come from `radius.sm` / `radius.md` / `radius.lg` / `radius.pill`.
161- [ ] Cards and dividers use the declared border + shadow tokens.
162- [ ] No values were invented; if you needed something missing, you stopped and asked.
163

165
166## 1. Atmosphere
167
168Titanium Deck is brushed metal interpreted as restraint. Surfaces sit on a faint vertical gradient (`#f6f7f8` → `#e2e4e8`) that reads as machined aluminum under fluorescent light. Headlines run in Space Grotesk 600, body in the same. Technical labels — IDs, timestamps, sensor readouts — switch to IBM Plex Mono with uppercase tracking. The single accent is a warm amber `#f0a000` that appears as a tiny dot indicator on active modules, like a status LED on a server rack.
169
170The discipline is in the micro-detail: every button gets a 1px white inset highlight at the top edge to mimic the way light catches machined steel; every card has the same. There are no decorative gradients beyond the surface itself.
171
172**Signature moves**
173- Vertical machined gradient on every surface — `linear-gradient(180deg, #f6f7f8, #e2e4e8)` — never a hard fill
174- 1px white inset highlight (`rgba(255,255,255,0.7)`) at the top of every card and button — the catch-light is structural
175- Amber `#f0a000` used only as a 6px dot status indicator and the chart highlight — never as a fill or text color
176- IBM Plex Mono with 0.06em uppercase tracking for every technical label
177- Boxed tabs with the same machined gradient — they read as physical buttons
178
179## 2. Palette
180
181### Surfaces
182- **Aluminum Light** `linear-gradient(180deg, #f6f7f8, #e2e4e8)` — primary card surface
183- **Aluminum Mid** `linear-gradient(180deg, #eaecef, #d6d9de)` — pressed/secondary state
184- **Aluminum Dark** `linear-gradient(180deg, #2a2d33, #1c1f24)` — primary CTA, dark sections
185- **Page** `#e7e9ec` — cool background, slightly bluer than the cards
186
187### Ink
188- **Ink** `#1c1f24` — text, headings, primary CTA fill
189- **Ink 60** `#6c727a` — secondary text, mono labels
190- **Hairline** `rgba(28,31,36,0.06)` — every card edge
191
192### Accent
193- **Amber LED** `#f0a000` — status dot, active chart bar
194- **Amber Soft** `rgba(240,160,0,0.16)` — focus ring, hovered tab background
195
196## 3. Typography

200| Hero | Space Grotesk | 56px | 600 | 1.04 | -0.03em |
201| H1 | Space Grotesk | 36px | 600 | 1.15 | -0.025em |
202| H2 | Space Grotesk | 24px | 600 | 1.3 | -0.015em |

206| Sensor Readout | IBM Plex Mono | 24px | 600 | 1.1 | 0 tabular-nums |
207
208Three weights for sans: 400 / 500 / 600. Mono is uppercase whenever it appears as a label, mixed-case only inside code blocks.
209
210## 4. Buttons
211
212### Primary (Anodized Dark)
213```css
214background: #1c1f24;
215color: #f1f2f4;
216padding: 9px 18px;
217border-radius: 5px;
218border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
219box-shadow:
220 rgba(255,255,255,0.10) 0 1px 0 inset,
221 rgba(0,0,0,0.18) 0 1px 2px;
222```
223
224The 1px inset white highlight is what sells the metal — without it the button reads as flat black.
225
226### Secondary (Aluminum)
227```css
228background: linear-gradient(180deg, #f6f7f8, #e2e4e8);
229color: #1c1f24;
230border: 1px solid rgba(28,31,36,0.18);
231box-shadow: rgba(255,255,255,0.6) 0 1px 0 inset;
232```
233
234### Outline & Ghost
235- Outline: transparent, 1px ink hairline at 22%
236- Ghost: transparent, no border, ink-secondary text
237
238## 5. Cards
239
240```css
241background: linear-gradient(180deg, #f6f7f8, #e2e4e8);
242border: 1px solid rgba(28,31,36,0.06);
243border-radius: 8px;
244box-shadow:
245 rgba(255,255,255,0.7) 0 1px 0 inset,
246 rgba(28,31,36,0.06) 0 0 0 1px,
247 rgba(28,31,36,0.04) 0 1px 2px;
248```
249
250The signature is the inset white highlight + a 1px outline shadow — it reads as a physical machined panel, not a flat surface.
251
252Active cards get a 6px amber dot in the top-right corner — the only place amber appears as a fill.
253
254## 6. Charts
255
256Thin precise bars (4px wide, 10px gap) with dashed gridlines at 6% ink. One bar in amber, others in 22% ink. Line charts run at 1.5px ink with a 6% fill, ending in an amber dot marker. Y-axis labels in IBM Plex Mono uppercase 11px. The chart reads as instrument output, not infographic.
257
258## 7. Tabs
259
260Boxed tabs with the aluminum gradient. Active = pressed-in look (gradient flips to `linear-gradient(180deg, #d6d9de, #eaecef)`) with a tiny amber dot at the bottom-right corner. Inactive = standard aluminum surface. Boxed shape (3px radius), tight gap.
261
262## 8. Spacing
263
264- Base 4px
265- Scale: `4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 48, 64`
266- Section padding: 80px desktop, 40px mobile
267
268## 9. Do's & don'ts
269
270✅ **Do**
271- Use the vertical machined gradient on every card and button — flat fills break the metal
272- Keep the 1px white inset highlight on every surface — it's the catch-light, not decoration
273- Use the amber accent only as a 6px status dot and as the chart highlight — never as text or button fill
274- Switch to IBM Plex Mono uppercase 0.06em for every technical label
275
276❌ **Don't**
277- Use bright color fills — the entire system is greyscale + one amber dot
278- Use sharp 0px corners — the radius is small (3-8px) but never zero, mimicking machined chamfer
279- Skip the inset highlight to "simplify" — the surface stops reading as metal
280- Use Space Grotesk at 700 — 600 is the maximum, anything heavier looks plastic
281
