A calmer place to work

The app now uses one visual language. Getting there also meant catching the controls that got lost along the way.

I've brought the app onto one design system: a warm background, navy accents and consistent controls, with a dark option for the app. It feels much less like a collection of separate pages now.

Replacing the older interface layers also removed a lot of duplicate code. The approvals queue, health pages and memory browser now share the same basic pieces instead of each doing things their own way.

There was a useful mistake in the process. Removing an old page also removed the only way to reach a working feature. That's now part of the checklist: before a page goes away, check which controls only exist there and give them a new home.
