Generating a visual representation (HTML page) from `DESIGN.md` specifications for review and comparison.

`DESIGN.md` aims to provide a structured understanding of design systems to 'coding agents.' The ability to easily visualize the output of this specification is crucial for developer adoption, validation, and demonstrating its value.

This issue highlights a fundamental user experience gap for `DESIGN.md`: the lack of a straightforward method to visualize the design specification. Developers require an easy way to generate a 'simple .html page' to 'showcase the Specification' and compare outputs. The current reliance on 'any A...

Addressing data duplication and 'single source of truth' issues within `DESIGN.md` due to separate YAML front matter and Markdown body.

`DESIGN.md` aims to be a 'persistent, structured understanding of a design system' for 'coding agents' and humans. Maintaining data integrity and avoiding 'drift risk' is paramount for its credibility and utility as a definitive design system specification.

This feedback identifies a critical architectural flaw in `DESIGN.md`: the inherent 'drift risk' from duplicating 'design facts' across YAML front matter and the Markdown body. The current structure creates 'two versions of the truth,' undermining `DESIGN.md`'s core promise as a 'persistent, stru...
