-**Design system (NEW this session, NOT yet deployed):** the `design/` contract is live (`design/DESIGN.md` + `design/tokens.tokens.json`; see the **Design** line up top). Phase 1 of the conformance cleanup is done — a canonical `:root` token block is the single source of truth in `public/index.html`'s `<style>`, the stylesheet + `public/auth.html` use `var(--token)`, and all color/weight drift is fixed across every surface (auth blue→indigo, legacy darks→ladder). Verified locally (144 tests, both pages serve 200, all `var()` resolve); **not installed** — reaches recaps.cc only on the next box-serve / `make install`. Phase 2 (var-ify the long-tail inline styles; snap off-scale font/radius — both *visible* changes) is queued in `ROADMAP.md`.
+**Design system — DONE & live (0.2.161).** The `design/` contract (`design/DESIGN.md` + `design/tokens.tokens.json`; see the **Design** line up top) plus both cleanup phases are now installed. Phase 1: a canonical `:root` token block is the single source of truth in `public/index.html`'s `<style>`; the stylesheet + `public/auth.html` use `var(--token)`; all color/weight drift fixed. Phase 2: var-ified the long-tail inline `style=` hexes (346 + 7 `#475569` → `var()`, scoped to CSS-value position so JS-logic/quoted hex, the `<meta theme-color>`, SVG attrs, and the no-`:root` `SHARE_PAGE_*` region were dodged; `#fff` and no-token hexes left literal on purpose), and snapped off-scale font sizes (21) + radii (18) to the scale. Verified: 144 tests, both pages serve 200, every `var()` resolves, no off-scale residue. Phase 2 details + the remaining Style-Dictionary stretch goal are in `ROADMAP.md`.
 
 **Only loose end:** the Daily Digest's relay-synthesis + SMTP path can't be exercised off-box, so it's installed but **not yet smoke-tested** — that's operator action #5 below. Everything else (schema/upgrade, scheduler boot, unsubscribe flow) is verified.

-**Phase 2 — REMAINING (deliberately deferred; these are *visible* changes, unlike Phase 1's
-no-op var migration).**
-- **Var-ify the long-tail inline `style=` attributes.** Phase 1 fixed the *drift* inline
-  values but left canonically-correct inline hexes as literals (the stylesheet is now the
-  single source of truth; inline styles still hardcode). Convert them to `var(--token)` now
-  that the tokens exist — but dodge the spots that can't take `var()`: the `<meta theme-color>`,
-  SVG `fill`/`stroke` set via JS (e.g. `index.html` sub-icon), and any hex used in JS *logic*
-  rather than as a CSS value. Per-occurrence judgement, not a blind sweep.
-- **Snap off-scale font sizes** to the scale: `15→16`, `24→22`, `9→10`, `12.5/11.5→12`,
-  `10.5→10` (~23 occurrences). Each is a small visible size change — eyeball per component.
-- **Snap off-scale radii**: `3→4`, `5→6`, `7→6|8`, `9→8|10`, `11→10|12` (~18; scrollbars,
-  history/queue action buttons, mobile submit/menu, buy inputs).
-- **(stretch) Generate `design/brand/palette.css` from the tokens** (Style Dictionary) and
-  `@import`/inline it, so the `:root` block isn't hand-maintained in three places.
+**Phase 2 — DONE 2026-06-17 (shipped in app 0.2.161).**
+- **Var-ified the long-tail inline `style=` attributes** — 346 inline-style hexes (+7
+  `#475569`, mapped by property to `--text-faint`/`--border-strong`) → `var(--token)`. Scoped
+  to CSS-value position (hex preceded by `:`/space/`,`, never a quote), which cleanly dodged
+  the non-`var()` spots: the `<meta theme-color>`, SVG `fill`/`stroke` attrs, and hex held in
+  JS *logic* (quoted ternary branches like `${cond ? "#1e293b" : ...}`, `const colour = …`).
+  Left as literals on purpose: `#fff` (its uses split between on-accent button text and
+  functional white — `--on-accent` doesn't cleanly cover both, zero visual gain), no-token
+  hexes (`#e0e7ff`/`#c7d2fe`/`#a78bfa`/`#04210f`/etc.), and the entire `SHARE_PAGE_*` export
+  region (a standalone doc with no `:root` — `var()` wouldn't resolve there).
+- **Snapped off-scale font sizes** (21 occ): `9/10.5→10`, `11.5/12.5→12`, `15→16`, `24→22`.
+  Left `40px`/`56px` display glyphs (success numeral, buy spinner) — off-scale by design.
+- **Snapped off-scale radii** (18 occ): `3→4`, `5→6`, `7→6`, `11→12`; `9→10` for the two 18px
+  capsules (`.menu-badge`, `.rc-spk` — radius clamps at 9 on an 18px box, so on-scale and
+  visually identical) and `9→8` for `.icon-btn`/`.buy-select-btn`/`.buy-discount-input`. Left
+  the `1px` hamburger-bar radius. Verified: 144 tests pass, both pages serve 200, every
+  introduced `var()` resolves against `:root`, no off-scale residue.
+- **(stretch, NOT done) Generate `design/brand/palette.css` from the tokens** (Style
+  Dictionary) and `@import`/inline it, so the `:root` block isn't hand-maintained in three
+  places. Still open.
