/// THE LAYERS HAVE TO BE VISIBLE TO BE LAYERS

/// The app looked flat for a measurable reason, not an aesthetic one: white on
/// the page ground was a **1.124 : 1** step. A tonal difference does not begin
/// to read as a *different surface* until roughly 1.25, and on the budget LCD
/// this app ships to it needs the top of that band. So every screen that
/// wanted its content to separate grew a border or a shadow to do the ground's
/// job — which is how an app ends up looking like a stack of rounded
/// rectangles while its ground does nothing.
///
/// There were also five near-identical light tokens, three of them within
/// 1.03 of the canvas: indistinguishable, and therefore five names for two
/// decisions.
///
/// These pin the arithmetic. A contrast rule that lives only in a comment is a
/// rule that gets undone by the next person who nudges a hex.
