| 210 | + <p>Personally, the current category names are better, but the badge colors should be used as a |
| 211 | + secondary visual grouping inside those categories, not as the primary grouping mechanism. |
| 212 | + That gives users meaningful categories while still getting instant color recognition.</p> |
| 213 | + <div class="callout"><strong>Recommended future alignment:</strong> keep the current category |
| 214 | + names as the primary user-facing grouping. Badge colors should be secondary visual grouping |
| 215 | + cues inside those categories, and tile colors can be corrected later.</div> |
