The two consoles used the same primitives and still read as two systems,
because everything without a primitive had drifted: the header-to-body
step existed in three competing techniques at once (`mt-4` on the first
body child, `space-y-4` on the card, `mb-4` on the header), the body
started either at the card edge or 28 px in, and both shells hand-rolled
the page title instead of calling `PageHeader`.
Move the decisions into the primitives so a call site cannot re-open them:
- `SettingsCard` is gap-based like `Card` (`flex flex-col gap-4`). The
header-to-body step is the container's, not a margin somebody remembers.
A dense card still overrides the gap on the card itself.
- The body starts at the card edge. `pl-7` is gone — off the spacing scale,
and it mis-aligned action rows against their own forms wherever two
neighbouring cards disagreed about it.
- The card header's description slot loses its `space-y-1`. That was the
licence call sites used to stack explainer paragraphs into a muted
`text-xs` slot; the slot holds one sentence.
- New `SettingsCardActions`: one action row, trailing edge, last thing in
the card. `align="start"` spells the one exception, a card whose only
actions are links out.
- New `StatTile` replaces four hand-rolled label/value boxes in Admin.
- `SectionHeading` moves from `insights/` to `ui/`. It is the heading above
a group of cards, which is what Settings needs; Settings had been using a
card header with no card, which reads as a card that failed to paint.
Both shells now render their heading through `PageHeader`, which gained
`headingAs="div"` for the second copy each shell paints (mobile above the
nav strip, desktop inside the grid) so only one is a real `<h1>`. The
page explainer is muted everywhere: the primitive said foreground, the
standards and every hand-rolled copy said muted, so pages disagreed with
each other. Medications, Vorsorge, the labs / custom-metric / illness
detail pages and the clinician view drop their hand-rolled title blocks
too, including the mid-word truncation on the medications subtitle.
Tests pin the parts that can be checked exactly: the card's gap, the
description slot's missing rhythm, the action row's two alignments, the
`<h1>`-free shells, and a sweep asserting `pl-7` stays gone.
Settings → AI "About me" had one Clear control wired to
`save.mutate({ aboutMe: "", allergies: "" })`. One tap, no dialog, and
the allergy line went with the note — while the toast it raised said
"About-me note cleared", which is what the control looks like it does.
The allergy line is the first thing a clinician reads and the column is
overwritten in place, so there is nothing to restore afterwards.
Scope the control rather than only gating it: it now writes `aboutMe`
alone and omits `allergies`, which the PUT leaves untouched by contract,
so the payload cannot carry the allergy line away even if the dialog is
ever dropped. Clearing allergies stays possible in the allergies field
itself, which is a deliberate act on the thing being emptied. The
confirmation on top guards the note.
The same one-tap shape ran through thirteen other controls that
overwrite a column or drop a credential with nothing to restore from.
They route through the shared confirmation now: both Codex disconnects
(personal and the instance-wide shared account), the AI server key, the
profile photo, the threshold reset — all, per metric, and the override
switch, whose off position performed the same irreversible delete from a
control that reads as a display toggle — the source-priority order, the
dashboard layout, the Insights overview, a single target range, a
remembered Coach fact, a past Coach plan, a logged cycle day and a custom
cycle symptom.
`ConfirmButton` moves to `components/ui`, since it is no longer a
settings-local helper, and gains `ConfirmDialog`: the same dialog without
a trigger, for destructive controls that are not buttons. A switch has to
stay on when the dialog its off position raised is cancelled, and a
control that could not reach for the primitive reached for nothing —
which is a fair part of why those were the ones that shipped unguarded.
Copy lands in all six locales.
The admin tree hand-rolled its card surfaces and stepped padding at sm:
instead of md:, so it read denser than every other route on a tablet.
Move the sections onto SettingsCard/SettingsCardHeader and the mini-rows
onto ListRow; no behaviour, data, or copy changes.
The dashboard snapshot fires the moment login succeeds instead of
waiting for the page chunk (start ~670 to ~200 ms throttled). Guided
follow-ups are personalised from the user's snapshot and an answer gets
the coach's streamed reaction before the next question. Archived
schedule eras can be corrected through a superseding revision that
keeps the original as an audit trail, era writes serialise per
medication, and duplicate dose times collapse in validation. A rolling
medication whose next dose is tomorrow can no longer read as heavily
overdue — the card status derives strictly from the served next-due —
and the adherence bars keep a fixed geometry in every state. The
server-wide assistant key gains its admin card, the one duplicated
coach preference collapses onto a single owner, twenty-seven admin and
settings card headers move onto the shared pattern with sixty
containers normalised, and the remaining hydration warnings are gone.
