● Design language summary

  Vibe. Dark, minimal, slightly luminous. Information-dense but airy. Color is reserved — accent appears on actions and active states; semantic colors only for status. Most surfaces are low-contrast neutral; the eye is drawn by the one
  accent.

  Palette. Near-black background #0b0d12, two elevation tiers above it (#14171d panel, #1a1e26 panel-2). Borders are translucent white (7% default, 12% strong). Text is warm-white #e6eef6, muted #8a93a4, super-muted #5e6675. Accent is a
  blue-violet #4f8cff with #6ea0ff for hover and a 15% soft variant for active backgrounds. A violet #8b5cf6 shows up only inside accent gradients (logos). Status: green #34d399, amber #fbbf24, red #f87171.

  Type. Inter, system fallback. Base 14.5px / 1.5. Headings get tight tracking (-0.01em to -0.02em). Small labels are uppercase, ~0.78rem, 0.06–0.08em letter-spacing, in the muted tone. Numbers always use tabular figures. Antialiased.

  Spacing & shape. Spacing scale of 4/8/12/16/24/32. Radii: 12px panels, 8px controls/inputs, 6px chips, 999px for bars. Two shadow tiers — subtle 0 2px 8px /35% for cards, lifted 0 8px 24px /45% for floating things. Active accents may
  add a tinted glow (rgba(79,140,255,0.35)).

  Layout. Sticky 240px sidebar + fluid main. On mobile the sidebar collapses to a horizontal top nav. Each page opens with a page-header (title + small meta on the right, divider underneath). Content lives inside card-panel blocks — never
   floating directly on the bg.

  Components.
  - Stat card: tiny uppercase label with icon → big tabular number → muted sub-line. Border lightens on hover.
  - Sidebar nav-item: icon + label, transparent base, accent-soft background when active. Destructive items shift to red on hover.
  - Segmented control: pill group inside a panel-2 shell; active pill is solid accent with glow.
  - Table: transparent rows, uppercase muted column headers, tabular nums right-aligned, 2% white row-hover.
  - Bar (disk): 6px gradient fill, threshold-based color shift at 75% / 90%.
  - Chip/folder pill: panel-2 with border, small inline icon, 6px radius.

  Iconography. Bootstrap Icons (bi-*), inline with labels at slightly reduced opacity.

  Motion. 0.15s ease for hover/active transitions; nothing splashy. Async sections fade to 50% opacity (is-loading); a single accent spinner for spinners.

  Charts. Plotly with transparent bg, Inter font, 5% white gridlines, legend below the plot, custom dark hover label. Series colors come from a fixed 10-stop palette (blue → violet → green → amber → coral …) — never raw Plotly defaults.

  Don'ts. No hard borders. No heavy drop shadows. No mixing accent colors for non-action UI. No raw Bootstrap-default buttons or tables. No solid color blocks for headers — keep them transparent over the panel.
