      • Shape and elevation

      Shape communicates hierarchy: controls use compact radii, content surfaces use medium radii, and complete application shells use the largest radius. Shadows are reserved for floating or overlapping surfaces.

      Borders are the default separator. Do not add shadows to every card; elevation must correspond to an actual layering change.
