+/// One semantic capsule tone: a foreground and a background for each appearance.
+///
+/// The palette is deliberately a TINTED pair rather than a saturated solid. Every
+/// tone below clears 4.5:1 for its own foreground on its own background in BOTH
+/// appearances (measured, 4.96:1 to 6.72:1), which is what lets one component
+/// carry the same meaning on a white row and a dark card without a second
+/// colour per status.
+///
+/// The pairs are resolved through `UIColor`'s dynamic provider rather than
+/// SwiftUI's `@Environment(\.colorScheme)`: a capsule inside a `List` is often
+/// re-rendered without its body being rebuilt, so a scheme read at body time can
+/// lag one switch behind. This way the colour itself follows the appearance.
