+### Superficies arrastrables: el lift de "pickup"
+
+Cuando el usuario **agarra y arrastra** una superficie, ésta debe **subir hacia
+él** (profundidad: "lo he cogido"). Es un cue transversal — NO específico de un
+componente — así que el factor de escala es un **token global de motion**, no un
+literal por recipe:
+
+| Token | Valor | Uso |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--motion-scale-lift` | `1.02` | escala de pickup al arrastrar (el único `>1` de la familia `--motion-scale-*`) |
+
+**Patrón (cualquier draggable lo aplica igual)** — gateado por el data-attr de
+arrastre que su morfo declara (`data-dragging`, `data-grabbed`, …), emparejado
+con una elevación de sombra, y suprimido bajo reduced-motion:
+
+```css
+/* float-panel, un thumb de slider arrastrándose, un item sortable, un drawer… */
+[data-x][data-dragging] {
+  scale: var(--motion-scale-lift);   /* sube hacia el usuario */
+  box-shadow: var(--…-shadow-active); /* + eleva la sombra */
+}
+@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
+  [data-x][data-dragging] { scale: 1; transition: none; }
+}
+```
+
+Reglas:
+- **`scale` (no `transform`)** para componer con la posición, que viaja por
+  `translate` (propiedades distintas) → el lift no pelea con el arrastre 1:1.
+- El cambio de `scale` se **transiciona** (lift al agarrar / settle al soltar);
+  durante el move queda **estático** (compuesto, sin coste por frame).
+- `will-change: translate, scale` mientras dura el gesto.
+- Un theme retematiza el lift en `STATIC_MOTION.scale.lift` (`primitives/static.ts`)
+  — todos los draggables lo heredan. No redefinir el 1.02 por componente.
+
+Hoy lo consume `float-panel` (`[data-float-panel-content][data-dragging]`); un
+slider/sortable que añada arrastre debe leer el MISMO token, no inventar el suyo.
