+- [x] **Escala `wash` + contrato** (2026-06-06): añadidos `--words-wash-{faint,subtle,soft,strong}`
+      (6/16/30/44 %) + `font-size-xs` + `swatch` al recipe; aplicada la escala a los **18** sitios
+      de `color-mix` de `words.css` (la sopa 4…45 % → 4 pasos) y colapsadas las durations
+      hardcoded (120/140/100 ms → `--words-transition-duration`). Geometría (50/100 %) intacta.
+      → test "declares every public var" **verde** (1 de 3 fallos de words resuelto). Editor
+      verificado en navegador (sin regresión).
+- [ ] A — resto del vocabulario: triar los 41 huérfanos (cablear `rail-*`/`toolbar-*`/… o podar)
+- [ ] B — barrido del resto de superficies (radius a una escala, tamaños bespoke→tokens, padding `--space-*`)
+- [ ] C — centralizar las 3 paletas de color
+- [ ] D — fixes API (`<style>` inspector, `onMount→$effect`) → 3er test
+- [ ] E — verificación final + README
