Write every fix in the project's styling system. The numbers below apply only where the project has no spacing scale or density system; otherwise use its tokens. A finding needs a failure you can show, such as a clip, an overlap, a broken mirror or a misread group. A value that differs from these starting points is not one. Hit areas and focus behavior belong to better-accessibility. Radius, shadows and animation belong to better-ui. Line length, text spacing and truncation mechanics belong to better-typography. The words themselves belong to better-writing. Space groups first, background shapes second, separator lines last and only where space alone can't carry the structure. The gap between groups is at least 2× the gap within one, so 8px inside a group means 16px or more between groups. Recipes are in grouping-and-alignment.md. Give every interactive element a background shape, a border, an underline or a consistent placement zone such as a toolbar. A control styled like the static text beside it does not read as a co
