Lucide · 1.5px stroke · 1rem. Outline icons with a consistent stroke width; size icons to match adjacent text and align them optically.
- Never use color as the only signal — pair it with text, an icon, or a shape.
- Every interactive element must be keyboard reachable and show a visible focus ring.
- Honor prefers-reduced-motion: reduce by disabling non-essential animation.
- Keep a logical heading order and give every form control a label.
