  • Production-minded polish: Adds better states, cleaner layout rhythm, accessible focus treatment, and refined surfaces while preserving functionality.
  • Use case: A founder wants their landing page to feel premium before launch, or a team wants to refresh a dashboard UI without breaking existing behavior.
