Description

🎯 The objective

Isolate the current UI design system from the main app into a library structure. I should be usable with dependency substitution.

🎒 Resources

🦮 Rules of the Road

🟢 In Scope
  • Color, typography, and shape foundations
  • Creation of a library-shaped Gradle module
  • Gradle dependency substitution for local development
  • Mechanical moves with minimal API change
🔴 Out of Scope
  • Visual redesign
  • New Bolt components
  • Material 3 removal
🚧 Technical and/or Business Requirements
  • No dependencies on app, core or feature modules
  • Stable package names suitable for extraction
  • App must be able to consume the design system via artifact coordinates
  • Gradle dependency substitution must work for local development
  • No behavior or visual regressions
