Semantic Token & Variable Architecture
Tokens turn visual choices into machine-readable meaning. This module builds a semantic token architecture for color, typography, spacing, motion, and state.
Instead of hard-coded styles, it creates reusable concepts like “primary action,” “surface background,” or “error state.” This enables theming, accessibility, and long-term flexibility across technologies and brands.
