+ *
+ * A button is `variant + size`, composed in the template:
+ *   btn-primary            a page action
+ *   btn-primary btn-compact   a row action
+ *   btn-ghost btn-inline      an affordance inside a card
+ *   btn-primary btn-block     a form's single submitting action
+ * Semantic per-view names (.btn-save, .btn-delete-task, …) were the thing that
+ * drifted, because a name says what a button is FOR and nothing about what it
+ * should look like — so two buttons doing the same job in two views had no
+ * reason to match, and didn't.
  *
  * MIGRATION NOTE — this file is deliberately safe to land ahead of the removals.
  * These are plain selectors (specificity 0,1,0); a Vue `<style scoped>` rule
