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...

Enhancing `DESIGN.md`'s component definition capabilities to support structured variations (variants).

`DESIGN.md` aims to provide a 'persistent, structured understanding of a design system' to 'coding agents.' This feature request seeks to elevate the specification's expressiveness and scalability by moving beyond flat naming conventions to a more semantically rich, hierarchical model for component states and properties.

This feature request addresses a critical limitation in `DESIGN.md`'s current component modeling: the reliance on 'flat key-based naming' for variations. The proposed 'variants field' directly tackles the scalability and semantic richness required for modern design systems. Without structured sup...
