Decoded design system

Spikepanel's decoded design system: background #16181C, text #DEE2E8, accent #343A43, link #A4ABB5, primary #38BB47; type scale h1 44px / h2 30px / body 13px; 4px spacing base; 4px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #DEE2E8 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #DEE2E8 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• accent #343A43 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
• primary #38BB47 — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #DEE2E8, not this.
• link #A4ABB5 — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #DEE2E8).
• secondary #143445 — optional secondary accent — LOW decode confidence; use rarely (a status color or a single decorative moment) or omit it entirely. Prefer one accent unless the reference clearly shows two.

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#DEE2E8` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- **accent** `#343A43` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **primary** `#38BB47` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #DEE2E8, not this.
- **link** `#A4ABB5` — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #DEE2E8).
- **secondary** `#143445` — optional secondary accent — LOW decode confidence; use rarely (a status color or a single decorative moment) or omit it entirely. Prefer one accent unless the reference clearly shows two.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#16181C` 94.5% · `#505354` 5.5%

## Typography

- Heading: **Plus Jakarta Sans**
- Body: **Plus Jakarta Sans**
- Mono: **IBM Plex Mono** _(measured)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 44px / 600 · lh 53px · tracking -1.1px |
| h2 | 30px / 600 · lh 36px · tracking -0.75px |

- Weight ladder: 300 · 400 · 500 · 600 · 700 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 20px, 24px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 80px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 4px
- button: 5px
- card: 5px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#DEE2E8` / `#16181C` | 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) | 5px | 0px 32px 0px 32px | 500 13px | rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(15, 23, 42, 0.08) 0px 1px 2px 0px |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: box-shadow `rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgb(182, 191, 204) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(15, 23, 42, 0.08) 0px 1px 2px 0px` · outline `2px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)`
- secondary hover: box-shadow `rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(52, 58, 67, 0.7) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px` · background `rgba(37, 41, 48, 0.55)` · color `#DEE2E8`
- transition: `background-color 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05) 0px 1px 2px 0px`
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px`
- button: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(15, 23, 42, 0.08) 0px 1px 2px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 200ms · 300ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `linear`
- animated properties: color, background-color, border-color, text-decoration-color

Micro-interactions use the dominant duration + easing; nothing on the page animates slower than the longest duration above — don't invent springier motion.

## Their own tokens (verbatim from :root)

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| `--radius` | `7px` |
| `--font-cjk-sans` | `"PingFang SC", "Hiragino Sans GB", "Microsoft YaHei"` |
| `--font-cjk-serif` | `"Songti SC", "Source Han Serif SC", "Noto Serif SC", "Noto Serif CJK SC", STSong` |
| `--font-serif` | `"Iowan Old Style", Georgia, "Songti SC", "Source Han Serif SC", "Noto Serif SC", "Noto Serif CJK SC", STSong, serif` |
| `--font-mono` | `"IBM Plex Mono", "SFMono-Regular", Consolas, "Liberation Mono", monospace` |
| `--app-header-height` | `3.5rem` |
| `--app-strip-height` | `1.75rem` |

Prefer these names when extending their system — it's the brand's actual vocabulary.

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1080px · common grid: 2-col
- nav: 56px fixed · backdrop blur(12px) saturate(1.5) · bg rgba(29, 32, 37, 0.95)

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `span.nav-shimmer` @0ms → `span.absolute` @1ms → `div.animate-live-news-ticker` @1ms → `div.animate-pulse` @1ms → `span.animate-ping`×2 @1ms → `img.h-full`×2 @1ms
- `span.absolute` — opacity 0.75→0 · transform none→scale(2) — 1000ms cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0.2, 1) · loops
- `span.live-tag-dot` ×4 — opacity 1→1 · transform scale(1)→scale(1) — 1800ms ease-in-out · loops
- `span.animate-ping` — opacity 0.75→0 · transform none→scale(2) — 1000ms cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0.2, 1) · loops
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel #252930 · r 7px · border 1px solid rgba(52, 58, 67, 0.45) · shadow rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.32) 0px 8px 24px 0px
  - exit: transform+opacity from none,1 · 150ms linear

Rebuild the timeline, not just the durations — order, delays and staggers above are the choreography.

## Components (measured)
- card ×6: pad 20px 20px 20px 20px · r 12px · border 1px solid rgba(52, 58, 67, 0.8) · shadow rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05) 0px 1px 2px 0px · bg rgba(29, 32, 37, 0.9)
  - hover: border `1px solid rgba(54, 211, 153, 0.4)` · box-shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 4px 6px -1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 2px 4px -2px` · font-weight `400` · letter-spacing `normal` · transform `matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, -4)`
- link: #38BDF8 · no underline — hover #0EA5E9

## Responsive (measured)
- mobile (390px): hero 36px · body 16px · nav: hamburger

## How to apply
Paste the Tailwind `@theme` (or CSS variables) as your base, then build each
section to its spec — verify every color, radius, and font against these tokens.
Hover/focus states, shadows and motion timings above are measured from the live page — match them exactly, don't re-guess them.
