[0.1.0] — 2026-05-23

Initial seed. Established whynot-design as the implementation surface for the whynot visual language. Decision recorded in whynot-control/DECISIONS.md as DEC-004 (pending).

Added

• tokens/ — source-of-truth JSON tokens for colours, type, spacing, radii, shadows.
• src/components/Atoms.jsx — Eyebrow, Tag, Button, StageDot, Stamp, Icon.
• src/components/Chrome.jsx — TopNav, Sidebar, PageHeader, PipelineStrip.
• examples/whynot-control/ — click-through UI kit recreating the whynot-control surface (inbox, prototypes, prototype detail, signals, betas, decisions, control-doc viewer).
• assets/whynot-logo.png — LEGO-brick + ?! mark.
• SKILL.md — Agent Skill manifest, cross-compatible with Claude Code.
• README.md — full design language.
• DesignSystemIntroduction.md — integration guide.
• CONTRIBUTING.md — contribution flow + house rules.

Known caveats

• IBM Plex is loaded from Google Fonts. Drop .woff2 files into fonts/ and swap to a local @font-face for offline use.
• No build step — consumers import JSX directly. Promote to a build when the system has >30 components or needs non-React consumers.
• Playwright visual regression covers examples/whynot-control/index.html only. Add per-component coverage when component count exceeds ~20.
• assets/whynot-logo.png is raster. Re-draw as SVG before promoting to 1.0.0.
