Measured before deciding: across the ~100 bespoke button rules, vertical
padding does not spread — it clusters. ~27 at 0.4–0.45rem, ~28 at 0.25–0.3rem,
~23 at 0.1–0.15rem. Those are three different components that happen to share a
name prefix: a page action, a row action, and an affordance that lives inside a
card.

Collapsing them to the single size the shared sheet had would have visibly
broken every card layout, which is why the one-off migration stopped here for a
decision rather than proceeding on the assumption that a button is a button.

  default        8px 16px   page action — what the house style specifies
  .btn-compact   4px 12px   toolbar, table row, list item controls
  .btn-inline    2px 4px    dismiss ×, confirm tick, add-chip

.btn-small and .btn-sm already sat at the compact step, so they are kept as
aliases for it — no template churn, and the two spellings stop being a third
thing that might drift.

.btn-inline is deliberately below the spacing scale's first step on the
vertical axis: 4px of padding on an 11px label already exceeds the line box
these sit in. Stated in the file so it reads as a measured exception rather
than someone ignoring the scale.

DesignView renders all three as real specimens. A size scale described in prose
is one nobody can check; rendered from the actual classes, it cannot claim
something the app does not do.
